Li Yao's anomaly alarmed Wu Mayan. He thought for a long time and decided to discuss the matter with Xie Anan.
Other than that, Professor Mo Xuan had also hidden countless' telepathic thought bombs' inside the star brain. Countermeasures would be carried out immediately once the star brain was hacked.
After more than ten security measures, although the speed of data transmission in the star brain was significantly reduced, which affected part of the performance of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers, the star brain was much safer and more autonomous. It was no longer possible to control all the Grand Illusionary Soldiers if one controlled the star brain.
Even so, the subsequent production plans of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers were suspended. More resources were devoted to the production of the Crystal Suit and the crystal warships.
The Cultivators realized it clearly. Every magical equipment had loopholes. The most reliable equipment was still human beings themselves.
Besides, a large batch of Grand Illusionary Soldiers had been seriously damaged in the Immortal Cultivators' rebellion. They were almost scrapped. To restore their combat ability would consume more resources than to refine a new Grand Illusionary Soldier.
The Grand Illusionary Soldiers, which had lost their maintenance value, were simply modified for exploration and excavation purposes and sent to the great development of Iron Plateau and Spider Den.
Iron Plateau used to be the heart of the Flying Star Sector. Countless secret treasures and remnants of towns from five thousand years ago were buried below the ground. Abundant relics and mother lodes were buried below the ground of Spider Den, too.
In the past, because of the division, no single sect was capable of fully developing Iron Plateau and Spider Den.
Right now, the entire Flying Star Sector had joined hands to perform drastic modifications on the two habitable planets.
In the heated development, the desert turned into green, the gray sky became blue again, and many ancient cities buried deep below the ground saw the light of day again!
Li Yao never lost control of his emotions again.
He devoted himself to the Ice God Project wholeheartedly. Not only was he involved in the production of the brand-new single-person starship, he was also involved in the calculation and production of the 'cosmic slingshot'.
He often locked himself in his room for more than ten days, calculating the structure of the starship and the star map. Sometimes, he would train himself to the point that he was bleeding in the gravity dozens of times higher than usual.
After drawing tons of design plans, he would climb to the roof and look at the starry sky, letting the stars glitter inside his eyes. There was no telling what was on his mind.
Finally.
In the ninth year after Li Yao and his companions were stranded in the Flying Star Sector, the Ice God Project achieved initial success!
The first phase of the construction of the Universal Slingshot was completed. Thirteen starships that could travel across Sectors were also produced!
It was time to go home!
…
On Ice King.
This was a desolate planet at the edge of the star field. Because it was far away from the star, its surface was frozen. There was no atmosphere, and there was no air suitable for humans to breathe.
Ice King was very small in size and weight. It was less than one tenth of Iron Plateau, which meant that the gravity there was very low.
Without the obstruction of the atmosphere, there would be less interference when rushing into space.
This place was almost a natural starship launch base.
Today, the Ice King Planet was packed with people. It was in full swing, and the boiling aura had almost completely melted the ice that covered the planet!
In the middle of the rolling ice mountains, two enormous artificial ravines, one vertical and one horizontal, intersected into a cross. Every ravine was more than three hundred kilometers long. The cross section was as smooth as a mirror without the slightest flaw, but ripples of spiritual energy were spreading out from it. Now and then, colorful, complicated rune arrays were popping up.
It was the super space jump array left by the Star Ocean Imperium.
At the intersection of the two enormous ravines, a shaft was formed. At this moment, thirteen fully-equipped starships were floating at the center of the shaft, enshrouded in thirteen clusters of blue brightness.
Twelve of the starships were almost identical in appearance, but some of their functional components were different.
They were Sparkle, and the simplified versions based on Sparkle, Mars 1 to Mars 11.
Few passengers were on the twelve starships. The storage space of most of the starships was filled with magical equipment units for the production of star beacons.
Once they arrived at the Tian Yuan Realm, they would find a suitable location and build a super star beacon.
The star beacon would emit mystic rays of a certain frequency. Uninformed observers would barely be able to see them. Even if they did, they would consider them natural astronomical phenomena.
Only the Flying Star Sector would be able to lock onto the mystic rays and read the corresponding information according to the blinking of the mystic rays.
With the navigation of the super star beacon, the fleets that followed would be larger in scale and travel between the Flying Star Sector and the Heaven's Origin Sector faster.
Other than the twelve starships, there was a bizarre-shaped starship that was smaller in size and no more than thirty meters long.
Different from the mainstream starships of the Flying Star Sector, which had sharp edges and long bodies, this starship was slightly bloated, as if it were connected by rings. It was more like a giant cocoon than a starship.
It was a single-person starship that Li Yao had proposed and produced by the Grand Illusionary Group and the Star Fighters' Alliance. It was designed based on the principles of bionics and the materials of the apocalyptic beasts on Iron Plateau. During the flight, the shell of the starship would rotate nonstop. Its stability and anti-collision ability were multiple times higher than that of common starships.
Li Yao named the starship that belonged to him 'Firefly'.
On the platform next to the launch base, all the experts of the Flying Star Sector had gathered. They were all saying goodbye to each other.
The first batch of people to leave for the Tian Yuan Realm, other than Li Yao and Professor Mo Xuan, included Luoxingzi, a Yuanying Cultivator, Lei Dalu and Bai Kaixin, two Core Formation Stage Cultivators, as well as Wu Mayan and Xie Anan, two of Li Yao's disciples.
"We're finally going home!"
Looking at the glittering starships in the blue light not far away and the magnificent aura of the super space jump array, Li Yao and Professor Mo Xuan hugged each other hard. Everybody was filled with mixed feelings and couldn't wait to go home.
"The Feathered Snakes Brotherhood made a great mistake in the rebellion of the Immortal Cultivators. Although we were deceived by Xiao Xuance, our former leader, there is no turning back now!
"Right now, we can only wash away the shame of the Feathered Snakes Brotherhood with our blood and courage. There will be fierce battles on our way to the Heaven's Origin Sector. Every Cultivator of the Feathered Snakes Brotherhood will have to lead the charge. One day, we will make the Feathered Snakes Brotherhood one of the strongest sects of the Flying Star Sector with our sabers, swords, and fists!"
Luoxingzi roared at the fifty fully-armed Cultivators of the Feathered Snakes Brotherhood, whose killing intent was soaring to the sky.
"The most important thing for Cultivators is brotherhood. The Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector have been loyal to us. It's time for us to be loyal to them too!"
Lei Dalu held his head high and roared at the members of the Great Horn Exo Society, too.
After ten years of development, the Great Horn Exo Society had become one of the strongest Exo Societies of the Flying Star Sector.
However, due to the limited capacity, he had only selected a hundred experts to go with him, including Zuo Xiaohu, Lu Dian, and other members of the new generation who had just grown up.
"Master, please take it easy. Don't force yourself if you can't make it. It will be terrible if you are mentally deranged!"
Xie Anan said to Li Yao uneasily. Her concern was obvious.
Li Yao laughed in the most brilliant way. He patted Xie Anan's head and said, "Rest assured. Rest assured. Your master has made full preparations. There is no way that I will be mentally deranged! Just wait for it. When we reach the Tian Yuan Realm, you will certainly meet a … brand-new master!
"Right. Have you kept the item that I gave you?"
Xie Anan nodded. Then she said, somewhat weirdly, "I have, but …"
Li Yao waved his hands. "There is no 'but'. Just do as your master says!"
