Chapter 866: Three Missions
Chapter 866: Three Missions
"Ah..." Emperor Manina XIII let out a soft sigh.
There was nothing they could do about the young players of Blue Star. They couldn't send strong fighters to assassinate them, so they could only watch helplessly as these players grew stronger.
"But..." Suddenly, a thought crossed Manina's mind—these young Blue Star players were safe on Blue Star for now, but they would soon come to Scarl Star! Once they arrive, they might find a way to deal with them.
"But how exactly?" Manina fell into deep thought.
Lan Qi watched as the emperor sank into his thoughts, not daring to speak, and remained silent.
After a couple of minutes, the emperor came back to his senses and asked, "Your Majesty, have you thought of anything?"
"Nothing," Manina shook his head.
He didn't want to reveal his thoughts to Lan Qi just yet, as they were still forming.
Manina said, "Lan Qi, over the next period, we have three main missions. All three missions are extremely important, and we must do our utmost to complete them."
"Please instruct me." Lan Qi's expression became serious.
"The first mission is to confront Leiyang Haidun... I don't need to elaborate further, do you understand?"
"Yes," Lan Qi nodded, his heart racing.
"The second mission is to quickly investigate Xu Xiaotian's last visit to our planet and determine how she activated the 'Final Enclave.'
"Understood," Lan Qi replied, "I have already entrusted the investigation to Jenifer, and she will have the results in no more than two weeks."
"The last mission is to assist the Blue Star humans in launching a propaganda campaign against Brandon," Manina emphasized, "This is the most crucial task for the expeditionary forces in the next month. We must do our best, and not let down my expectations!"
"Understood, I will do my utmost to fulfill these missions," Lan Qi promised with a determined expression.
...
...
The scene returned to Rongcheng.
After over four hours of the light pillar, as Xiao Tian was about to break through, the light pillar was surrounded by a dense crowd of cultivs and players. The number of people was truly overwhelming, with hundreds of players and cultivs flying in the sky and thousands more standing on the ground. But everyone was silent, as they all focused on the light pillar and the intense energy of the moment, absorbing the power and wisdom from within.
Su Yu, who was about to ascend to the divine level, closed his eyes tightly and opened them. Two beams of brilliant purple light shot out from her eyes, piercing through the light cocoon's somewhat fragile shell. The light cocoon began to crack and shatter.
"Here it comes!" Su Yu exclaimed, "It's happening!"
The other players and cultivs also realized what was happening, their eyes wide open with excitement.
Crack, crack, crack— The light cocoon shattered inch by inch, revealing a cascade of pale purple arcane energy swirling around Xiao Tian's body. Her skin turned completely purple, and she felt an overwhelming surge of power within.
Now that Xiao Tian's breakthrough was complete, she soared into the sky, reaching the same height as the great cultivs. The explosive surge of power within her body made her feel an unprecedented connection to the world around "The power of the heavens is mine to control," she thought.
"Xiao Tian, congratulations on your successful advancement!" Su Yu was the first to fly to Xiao Tian's side, beaming with joy as he congratulated her.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Congratulations on your advancement!"
The other players and Great Cultivators also clasped their hands in greeting, extending their congratulations to Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian was the second player on Blue Star to reach the Seventh Rank, after Su Yu. This was a truly significant achievement.
"Ah, everyone's here!" Xiao Tian was surprised to see a crowd of players and cultivators gathered around her.
She had been completely focused on breaking through her limits while inside the light cocoon and hadn't paid attention to the outside world. She hadn't expected such a large crowd to gather!
"Yes," Su Yu smiled. "Everyone rushed over as soon as they heard about your situation. We were all very concerned about you."
Emperor Liu Che stood beside Su Yu.
He smiled at Xiao Tian and said, "Most of the players above the Fifth Rank and the ancient cultivators are here. Why don't you take this opportunity to share your thoughts on your breakthrough?"
"Thoughts on my breakthrough?" Xiao Tian blinked her large eyes, feeling a bit dazed.
It felt a bit like being a student representative at a school assembly, where she had to give a speech in front of all the teachers and students.
But back then, she always read from a script. Now, she was supposed to speak off the cuff?
Emperor Liu Che smiled and said, "Yes, just speak from the heart. Share your insights on breaking through, or anything else you'd like to say."
"Um..."
Xiao Tian was tempted to back out.
She hadn't thought of what to say on the spot.
As for her breakthrough insights, they were so profound and abstract that it would be difficult for her to articulate them clearly.
But as she scanned the crowd, she saw that everyone was looking at her with eager anticipation.
So, she hesitated and said, "Since everyone is here, I'll just say a few words."
As everyone's gaze focused on her, Xiao Tian raised her voice and declared, "Currently, the greatest challenge facing humanity on Blue Star is the invasion by the Skrull. Many people are afraid and want to surrender, becoming slaves to the Skrulls.
I understand the thoughts of those who want to surrender. They only care about their own survival, and as long as they can live, they don't care about the future of humanity or the fate of others.
But understanding doesn't mean supporting. To prevent humanity from being wiped out and to secure our future, I swear to fight the Skrulls to the death!"
Xiao Tian raised her right hand and made a solemn vow.
For days, the biggest issue on Blue Star had been the surge of surrenderist sentiment. Xiao Tian had been looking for an opportunity to share her thoughts with everyone.
Now, she seized the moment and spoke her mind.
...
As soon as Xiao Tian began speaking, the entire crowd was moved.
Xiao Tian wasn't just the second most powerful player on Blue Star; she was also a 14-year-old girl.
If such a young girl could show such courage, what excuse did the rest of them, who had lived for decades or even centuries, have?
"Xiao Tian, I stand with you," Su Yu said, standing shoulder to shoulder with her and addressing the crowd solemnly.
"Actually, there's something I haven't told anyone—Saint Silver Federation has recognized my potential. Even if we lose the war, the Saint Silver people will ensure my survival and allow me to study at their top academy, the Saint Silver Secret Court."
The entire scene fell silent at Su Yu's words.
He had never mentioned this before, and no one had expected the Saint Silver people to value him so highly.
The Saint Silver Secret Court was the most prestigious academy in the Saint Silver System—such an honor was almost unimaginable!
It was like a Chinese person taking a destitute native from an African tribe and enrolling them in the most elite universities. Such treatment was only reserved for the most exceptional talents.
