Lao Wang did not know what to say to their friendly and enthusiastic attitudes. It seemed like his relationship with the Blood Demon Race was not very good. Of course, his perspective was not that low.
"Since this is a Celestial Honors Mission from the Internal Gates, I do not dare to neglect it." The other party did not mention Balor and directly displayed a friendly attitude. It was obvious that they were hinting that that was all in the past. They were in different positions and had to look forward. Lao Wang was naturally happy to reconcile. No matter what his situation was, it was much better to have a friend than an enemy. "When the time comes, I will naturally advance and retreat with everyone. I will bravely kill the enemies and will not slack off."
"Ha ha ha! Yiheluo, you underestimate His Highness too much. Which expert from the peripheral worlds has not climbed out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? How can you compare His Highness to those good-for-nothing greenhouse flowers? "
"Captain is right. I have embarrassed myself in front of His Highness." Yiheluo smiled and shook his head. "However, the rewards for this mission are indeed high. Even I, who has followed along, have benefited from it. After completing it, I will receive 50 Contribution Points."
"That is what Vice-Captain Yiheluo deserves." Wang Zhong smiled. Since they had the intention of befriending each other, it was inevitable for them to exchange some pleasantries. However, he could not delay the proper business. "Everyone, it is getting late. Let's go."
"Let's go."
As they stepped into the dimensional space, the black vortex energy around them flourished. They had not felt it when they were in the supervisor's artifact, but now, it was very real. The overflowing wormhole energy in the surroundings was violent and raging. Countless air currents were like wind blades that slashed at them. Ordinary Void Core experts would not even be able to last three to five minutes even if they were to stand here and defend with all their might, let alone go in.
It was as if it was about to violently spread and devour the entire Heavenly Gates! However, every time this terrifying energy rushed to the edge of the dimensional gate, an invisible barrier would gently block it. They could feel that this turbulent energy was constantly brewing and accumulating.
"The dimensional gate will explode once every ten years. The accumulated energy is too much, and the power of the explosion is enough to flatten the entire Inner and Outer Gates of the Heavenly Gates. Fortunately, the Supreme Elder is guarding this place. Every time the wormhole energy explodes, the Supreme Elder has to withstand it with his own body …" Gelawentu sighed.
Wang Zhong was awestruck. He was rather clear about how sturdy the environment in the Land was. Even if it was a battle between Gold Core experts, it was difficult to say how large the scale of destruction would be. However, the explosion of energy from the wormhole had the power to destroy the entire Inner and Outer Gates of the Heavenly Gates. Furthermore, the Great Elder was able to forcefully withstand the suppression with his own body. His strength was truly unimaginable.
Lao Wang could not help but raise his head to look at the Karlo figure sitting cross-legged in the sky.
Ever since he had accumulated his Void Core, even if Wang Zhong could not tell how strong some Gold Core experts were, he could at least sense the gap between him and them. For example, Supervisor Tsargesimon and Senior Lavel. However, when facing this Grand Elder, he still couldn't feel anything. From the surface of the Grand Elder's body, he couldn't see any signs of life. He was like a floating statue. Who would have thought that he would be so powerful?
"Wang Zhong greets the Great Elder. I request to go to the Ocean Empire Planet."
At that moment, the eyelids of the corpse-like old man moved slightly. However, it was only a slit.
Hua!
A terrifying light shone from the slit in his eyes, as if a corner of a mysterious ancient world had been revealed. The surroundings, which were originally illuminated by the Heavenly River, were now overshadowed. Regardless of whether it was Wang Zhong, Gelawentu, or the others, they immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the terrifying light.
"A new Celestial Honors member …"
Wang Zhong could feel the terrifying gaze staring at him, as if it wanted to see through his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Not only did it see through him, but it also easily discovered his fragment world!
Lao Wang was also slightly shocked, but when the terrifying power continued to penetrate into the fragment world, the Fate Stone in the fragment world also shone slightly. Immediately after, the Fate Stone disappeared, and the endless rich spiritual influence in the fragment world also disappeared. It looked like an ordinary storage space.
The Grand Elder didn't seem to notice the Fate Stone's trick. He was just a little curious about how this Void Core member of the Celestial Honors Class actually had an independent fragment world.
"You are Wang Zhong? Not bad … "The majestic and mighty voice in the air had a hint of kindness. In the divine territory, a space ring could be said to be a symbol of status, but in a fragment world, it was a symbol of absolute strength. After all, the former could be forged by others and only required money and power, while the latter was born from one's body. As a carrier, one's body had to have enough endurance and provide enough spiritual energy to maintain the stability of the space. This was not something that ordinary Void Cores or even Solid Cores could play with. It was the standard for Gold Core experts.
"Ocean Empire Planet, go." A vast and mighty voice rang out in the world, and the pitch-black door behind him suddenly shone with countless dazzling starlight.
Although Lao Wang felt that this Great Elder didn't have any evil intentions and probably wouldn't covet something that belonged to a little fellow like him, honestly speaking, Lao Wang still had a lingering fear when he passed through the dimensional door. The Great Elder's methods were truly unimaginable. He was able to easily permeate his fragment world with his divine sense. Even the Heavenly Shell Superintendent didn't realize that he had a fragment world.
"This is the first time I've seen the Great Elder speak so much." Gelawentu was also surprised and couldn't help but look at Wang Zhong a few more times. In the past, even when the Masters of the Celestial Honors Class went to the dimensional door, the Great Elder rarely spoke to them alone. This Wang Zhong …
The direction and position of the wormhole had obviously been set by the Supreme Elder. As the controller of the Dimensional Gate and the controller of the wormhole, the natural wormhole was very dangerous to many Gold Core experts, but in the hands of the Supreme Elder, it was just like a toy that he could casually knead and flatten.
After passing through the turbulence of the wormhole, the six of them directly appeared on the surface of a blue planet.
Although the Ocean Empire Planet was closer to the divine territory than the Earth, it was not a world that was too far away. The Star Alliance did not completely dominate the entire Fifth Dimension. The entire Star Alliance could only control two-thirds of the Fifth Dimension, and the Ocean Empire Planet was relatively close to the empty areas that were not ruled by the Star Alliance.
At that moment, as they floated above the atmosphere, they could feel that the level of spiritual influence on the surface of this planet was not low. The surface area was about twice that of the Earth, and the gravity was also more than ten times that of the Earth. The entire planet was covered in a blue ocean. According to the data, more than 95% of the entire Ocean Empire Planet was the sea, and the depth of the ocean was nearly 100,000 meters. The Ocean Empire Planet had a long history, but it had not been long since they joined the Star Alliance. It had only been about two or three eras. It was said that when they joined the Star Alliance, they had already reached the standard of a level-5 civilization. However, due to the lack of connections within the Star Alliance, they did not have many allies in the Star Alliance, and there were even some forces that obstructed them. Thus, the approval to become a level-5 civilization had been delayed for two eras, until they announced that they were leaving the Star Alliance …
Beep ~ Beep ~ Beep ~
As soon as Wang Zhong and the others appeared, a powerful Solid Core aura spread, and the deep and distant sound of a conch shell could be heard in the sea below, spreading throughout the entire planet.
Hua hua hua hua hua hua …
With the sound of the conch shell, the originally calm sea surged, and a large number of black shadows appeared on the surface of the sea.
"They seem to be prepared." Gelawentu looked down at the world below with a relaxed smile on his face.
The black shadows densely covered almost half of the surface of the planet. They were solid fortresses that rippled with huge magical energy, like small castles. Each of them was ten kilometers long and wide, and they were evenly separated from the surface of the sea by a distance of a hundred miles. Around these war fortresses, densely packed Giant Baltic Whales floated up from the bottom of the sea, covering the entire ocean!
The Giant Baltic Whale was a species unique to the Ocean Empire Planet. Each Giant Baltic Whale was extremely shocking in size, being thousands of meters long and thousands of meters wide. They were like giant motherships, and on their backs, there were many soldiers of the Ocean Empire Planet. A small number of them looked very noble and humanoid, but there were many other strange species. There were fierce fish with four limbs, sea snakes, crabs, shrimp, and so on. There were billions of them! Furthermore, their overall aura was not weak. The weakest was equivalent to a Heroic Soul from the Holy City. Most of the core forces were at the Heavenly Soul Stage, which symbolized the Foundational Stage. With just a glance, Lao Wang estimated that there were at least a million Heavenly Souls.
"I have long heard that the Ocean Empire Planet is rich, but I did not expect them to have quietly accumulated so many Machinery Race war fortresses over the years in the Star Alliance." A hint of greed flashed in Yiheluo's eyes.
"Hehe, they are all D-rank war fortresses." Gelawentu's eyes also flashed. "Buying and smuggling war fortresses of the Machinery Race is an additional crime."
The war fortresses of the Machinery Race were rather famous in the Land. Regardless of whether it was spaceships, war fortresses, or various large-scale firearms, none of the countless civilizations in the Star Alliance could reach the heights of the Machinery Race in this aspect. Thus, almost all such products in the Star Alliance were set by the Machinery Race. It was inevitable that they were expensive, and more importantly, they were under the control of special materials in the Star Alliance.
For example, the war fortresses on the sea below were one of the controlled items in the Star Alliance. It was not that they were not allowed to buy them, but that they were limited. Furthermore, different civilizations could buy different war fortresses of different specifications. A D-rank war fortress like this was made of D-rank metal, which was equivalent to level-9 materials that could be used to refine equipment. Its hardness was very impressive, and with the special craftsmanship and internal structure of the Machinery Race, it could definitely ignore the attacks of most Void Core experts. Furthermore, it was also equipped with offensive firearms of the same level. Even if only a few Heroic Souls were controlling it, it would be enough to give a Void Core expert a headache.
Logically speaking, a level-4 civilization like the Ocean Empire Planet was not qualified to buy them. To be able to possess so many of them, they must have used special channels to purchase them at a high price. Of course, this was obviously illegal smuggling.
As they whispered to each other, they heard a long roar, and a few relatively powerful auras rose from the bottom of the sea. Seven or eight strange-looking sea dragons tore through the surface of the sea and rose into the air. They floated in mid-air and faced Wang Zhong and the others from a distance.
They looked like snakes, and their snake-like bodies were abnormally large. However, their heads were huge, and their bodies were wide and flat. They also had four short, sprouting limbs.
The Saga Race was also known as the Sea Snake Race. It was said that they had a trace of the blood of the Dragon Race, which was what they were most proud of. It was said that they had joined the Star Alliance because of the recommendation of the Dragon Race. Unfortunately, that was two eras ago. In the past two eras, it was difficult to find traces of the real Dragon Race in the Land, and they had almost become extinct legends.
"Sirs!" The largest sea snake among the Saga Race wore a shiny golden crown on its head. It was the king of the Ocean Empire Planet. Its aura was not weak, and it should be at the peak of the Void Core Realm. It shouted at Wang Zhong and the others in the air, "The Ocean Empire Planet has officially left the Star Alliance. This is a private domain. Sirs, why have you broken into my territory?"
If one could join the Star Alliance, they could naturally leave as well. At least on the surface, the Star Alliance would not prohibit any civilization from leaving.
After all, they were once allies, and the Star Alliance was only an alliance of various races. It was not a unified dynasty, and it did not have enough control over the border areas. Furthermore, who did not have a few relatives in the Land? Even if they cared about their old friends and bribed them, as long as they did not offend anyone or owe the Star Alliance too much when they left, they would be relatively peaceful for at least a few decades or even a few centuries.
But even so, there were still very few civilizations that chose to leave the Star Alliance. Only some civilizations that really could not afford the various exorbitant taxes of the Star Alliance would choose to do so. Even if they left, they would only temporarily rest and recuperate. Furthermore, they would definitely bribe the higher-ups who directly governed them and retain the right to rejoin. After all, even if they had a few decades of peace after leaving, if they joined and betrayed the Star Alliance, they would definitely be remembered by the Star Alliance. In the beginning, it would not be good to immediately shed all pretense of cordiality and kill them. That would make the ruling methods of the Star Alliance seem too bloody and inhumane, and it would make people feel bitterly disappointed. However, as long as they left for a few decades, their influence in the Land would gradually fade, and a few experts would be enough to quietly destroy the entire civilization.
However, the Ocean Empire Planet actually dared to quietly execute the envoys sent by the Star Alliance to understand the situation. This was not just leaving in an ordinary sense, but betrayal, and they would definitely be killed without mercy.
However, since the Ocean Empire Planet dared to do such a thing, it was obvious that they had already expected today's result. How could they be surprised by the arrival of Wang Zhong and the others?
Lao Wang felt that something was a little strange, but before he could speak, he heard Gelawentu, who was next to him, smile slightly. He did not have any intention of paying attention to the Ocean Empire Planet and only respectfully said to Wang Zhong, "Your Highness, there is no need to say much to these sinners. Please pronounce the sentence. We will immediately take action. The rebel army and these Void Cores below are not a concern."
Wang Zhong frowned. What did he mean by pronounce the sentence? Looking at the surprised eyes of the Ocean Empire Planet below, his heart moved slightly.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely pronounce the sentence directly. There was no need to question the judgment of the Star Alliance, not to mention that it was just a level-4.5 civilization. It was not easy to rise, but it was very normal for them to fall. At the turn of every era, no one knew how many level-4 civilizations like this would disappear in the long river of history. They could disappear in various ways, and no one would want to investigate for them.
However, Celestial Lord Wang Zhong was different. He was born on Earth and was also a level-4 civilization. Not long ago, the Holy City even had the idea of suspending the immigration of the Star Alliance. This was actually a sign of collapse. Don't think that you could rely on the tax to ease the situation. If you lost all information and the meager right to speak in the Land, the phenomenon of being bullied by all parties would only become more and more serious. In the end, the result of the vicious cycle was that you would be forced to leave the Star Alliance or directly declare bankruptcy. Then, you would lose all rights and qualifications in the Star Alliance and be annexed by other civilizations.
Furthermore, even if you wanted to take action, you had to do it clearly. Lao Wang was not a rash person.
"We are the judges and executors of the Star Alliance," Wang Zhong said in a clear voice. "The Ocean Empire Planet has killed a Star Alliance messenger and betrayed the Star Alliance. You should have expected this day to come. Do you know your crime?"
It was the same as announcing a crime, but it was completely different from announcing a sentence with an inquiry. Beside him, Gelawentu and the others frowned slightly and looked on coldly.
The expression of the Ocean Empire King below changed slightly. "Sir! We were forced to leave the Star Alliance for some special reasons. Since then, we have been obedient and have even made preparations to participate in the assessment and return to the Star Alliance after hundreds of years. Furthermore, we were afraid that the children of our race would cause trouble outside. In the past two years, we have sealed the Ocean Empire Planet and have never stepped outside. How can you say that you killed a Star Alliance messenger? "
"You still dare to quibble? The Star Alliance once sent messengers to the Ocean Empire Planet to investigate the reason why you left the Star Alliance, but they disappeared after entering the Ocean Empire Planet. If you didn't kill them, why would they disappear into thin air?" Wang Zhong shouted sternly. "Look at your tens of thousands of D-grade war fortresses. They are all prohibited items, and your crime is even more serious. What else do you have to say?"
"I'm innocent!" The Ocean Empire King was horrified. "Our Ocean Empire Planet is just a level-4 civilization. How could we dare to kill a Star Alliance messenger and put ourselves in a position of certain death? If we knew that a Star Alliance messenger had arrived, the entire Ocean Empire Planet would have welcomed him respectfully. We wouldn't have dared to neglect him, let alone kill him! As for these war fortresses, we thought that there was a foreign invasion. If you take a closer look, you will know that they are defective products of the Machinery Race. As a former level-4.5 civilization, the Ocean Empire Planet is fully qualified to own them. We have complete purchasing procedures from the Machinery Race, and we only have so many of them after two eras! The Ocean Empire Planet is willing to open up everything and let the Machinery Race investigate. We will definitely prove the innocence of the Ocean Empire Planet. Please investigate this! "
"Let the Machinery Race investigate?" Wang Zhong muttered to himself.
