The Seven-colored Demonic Flower was the key to help Yang Tian Emperor recover. It was also the main purpose of Shi Yan's trip to the ancient continent this time. This kind of demonic flower could clean the Soul Rotting Aphids in Yang Tian Emperor's head. When he heard that Bai Hao and Mia had the demonic flower, he had made up his mind.
Inside the humid swamp, Shi Yan and Shang Ying Yue hid their auras. They moved like two ghosts towards Bai Hao and Mia.
Shang Ying Yue explained something to them from time to time...
Shi Yan frowned, his face stern. From Shang Ying Yue, he got a lot of information about the unknown universe.
Different from Fiery Rain Star Area and Agate Star Area, Shang Ying Yue's Fantasy Mist Star Area was one of the strongest star areas in this vast universe. Moreover, this star area had a special feature: Fantasy Mist Star Area wasn't closed.
Fiery Rain Star Area and Agate Star Area were high-level star areas. They had strong Incipient God Realm experts and their overall competence was outstanding.
However, due to various reasons, these two Star Fields had layers of space barriers and most of the Void passageways connecting to the outside world were blocked. The forces of these two Star Fields had even deliberately isolated themselves from the outside world in order to be self-sufficient and seal themselves off.
They didn't have many connections with the outside world. Their knowledge of the vast universe was limited. Thus, they didn't know much about the intimidation of the Protoss.
Similarly, the other big star areas didn't have a good evaluation of Fiery Rain Star Area and Agate Star Area. They didn't have many connections with them. They thought that they were eccentric and didn't understand the development of a star area.
Fantasy Mist Star Area was different.
This star area wasn't closed. It also had a close connection with the other big star areas. It had many sea routes to other star areas. The barrier between this star area and the other star areas didn't exist.
— — It was intentional.
Fantasy Mist Star Area was the real open star area that could fuse with the vast sea of stars.
Thus, Shang Ying Yue's knowledge of the universe and the strong forces in this universe wasn't something that Shi Yan could compare with.
Through her introduction, Shi Yan's understanding of the strongest experts in this universe gradually became clearer.
The truth was not far from what he had expected. The God Star Area, where the Protoss resided, was undoubtedly the strongest star area in the universe. The Protoss was also the strongest force. It was like an ancient beast crawling in the universe, ready to bite any prey it felt was suitable.
The twelve Protoss families each occupied a small star area. Each family had a strong force and many experts. The Protoss family, which was formed by the twelve families, was like a group of bloodthirsty lions that had always been aggressive.
The Protoss was extremely powerful. The Deity Star Area was also recognized as the strongest star area in the universe. It was above all other forces.
However, although the God Star Area and the Protoss Alliance were strong and they were recognized as the number one, they didn't really rule the entire universe. There were still some forces and star areas that could exist proudly. The Protoss Alliance didn't dare to provoke them.
Some star fields, some forces, and some people were very powerful in the universe.
Because of the existence of these star areas and forces, the Protoss Alliance couldn't conquer many star areas in this vast universe to make them their private territories and make many clans and forces their vassals.
Hollow Fearsome Star Area, Fantasy Mist Star Area, and Dry Bone Star Area were such existences. These star areas had powerful forces with superb fighting competence and many peerless experts. Their individual forces couldn't be as strong as the entire Protoss Alliance, but they could resist one or more Protoss families...
When the twelve Protoss families weren't facing the extermination of their clans, they couldn't unite as one. Thus, the powerful star areas like Hollow Fearsome Star Area, Fantasy Mist Star Area, and Dry Bone Star Area could have their own territories in this vast sea of stars.
For example, Hollow Fearsome Star Area, Fantasy Mist Star Area, Dry Bone Star Area, and some other star areas could keep their peace even when the God Clan was invading them. It was because they were strong enough.
They weren't secluded.
These star areas were connected to each other, and they had all kinds of ways to communicate with each other. Sometimes, they would even compete with each other in terms of their realms. They were like a scattered star area alliance. This alliance didn't have a clear name, and they weren't always in harmony with each other. Sometimes, there would be disputes and wars.
However, once the Protoss dared to act hysterically and endanger their interests, this alliance would unite.
The Star Area Alliance, which was composed of all the powerful star areas in the universe, had the overall strength to compete with the God Clan. That was why they could restrain the God Clan and force them to wage war against the star areas outside their alliance.
Fiery Rain Star Area and Agate Star Area had secluded themselves for many years. Of course, they weren't a part of this alliance. They didn't have any protection. Naturally, they became a fat piece of meat in the Protoss Alliance's eyes. The Protoss Alliance wanted to invade them.
The Gu God Sect of Hollow Fearsome Star Area, the Bai family of Dry Bone Star Area, the Wu family of Prosaic Star Area, and the Drifting Fire of Fantasy Mist Star Area were the most famous forces in this vast universe besides the Protoss Alliance.
In this loose alliance, these forces competed discreetly. Sometimes, they had a deep grudge against each other. When the Protoss Alliance wasn't threatened, they would fight each other. If the Protoss Alliance invaded a star area of this alliance, they would join hands to resist the enemy.
Of course, after several fierce battles with the Protoss Alliance, the Protoss Alliance didn't show its intention to invade any of the forces in this alliance.
Perhaps because they didn't have a common enemy, the forces in this loose alliance had been fighting each other for more than one thousand years. Moreover, their battles had escalated and become fiercer.
Among them, the Drifting Fire of Fantasy Mist Star Area and the Bai family of Dry Bone Star Area were the fiercest. It had reached the stage where the core experts of this alliance were killed. Shang Ying Yue's grandfather was one of the leaders of the Drifting Fire. He died in the battle with the Bai family. The grudge between the two sides was hard to resolve.
"Recently, the Bai family seems to have a connection with the Protoss. We got the news that the battleships of Dry Bone Star Area and God Star Area have a business relationship. We believe that they have some kind of agreement with the Protoss. Since we found something strange, the Bai family has targeted us. I heard that my grandfather's death is related to a family of Divine Light!"
Shang Ying Yue said through her gritted teeth.
"Doesn't your loose alliance consider the Protoss Alliance its enemy? Why does the Bai family have a relationship with the Protoss Alliance? "Shi Yan was surprised.
"The Protoss is too strong and they're good at seducing people. If they offer something that the Bai family can't resist, the Bai family won't be able to control their desire. They will fall in line with the Protoss Alliance." Shang Ying Yue frowned and said, "For example, the Protoss invites the Bai family to attack a star area. After they conquer that star area, the Bai family and the Bai family will share everything in that star area. The Bai family won't be able to reject it. Once they start and walk on the same side as the Protoss, they will become the Protoss' claws and teeth. It will be hard to get rid of them. This Protoss has used this method to recruit many powerful forces and Protoss forces. For example, the Shadow Tribe used to be a powerful clan. However, it has become a part of the Protoss Alliance. There are many similar examples... "
Shi Yan's face became stern.
The more he understood the situation of the universe, the more he knew how terrifying the Protoss Alliance was. The Protoss Alliance's forces had spread to every corner of the universe. It was like countless tentacles were squeezing the entire sea of stars. They were tightening the ropes and taking the star areas into their palms.
At their speed of eroding the sea of stars, it wouldn't take long before all the star areas that didn't join the alliance became the Protoss' vassals.
Sooner or later, even the loose Star Area Alliance would be gradually disintegrated by the God Clan. They would be swallowed step by step. The God Clan was like a bloodthirsty beast with limitless desires. They wanted to swallow the entire universe and starry sky.
"You said that the Bai family and the Protoss Alliance have a relationship, right?" asked Shi Yan.
Shang Ying Yue nodded affirmatively. "My father has a precise deduction. He said that the Bai family and the Protoss Alliance are planning to conquer a star area called Agate. It's my father's hometown. The Bai family and the Protoss Alliance have an agreement. They will send troops to conquer that star area. They even have a detailed plan to divide Agate... "
Shi Yan's face darkened. "I come from Agate."
Shang Ying Yue was bewildered for a while. Then, she said faintly, "What a coincidence."
Shi Yan didn't talk more. He just quietly moved forward. His co-soul floated above his head and scanned the surroundings.
He could see the locations of Bai Hao, Mia, and the others clearly. Shi Yan's co-soul knew where they were moving and which direction they were heading to.
Geniuses with different innate talents were like blind people on the ancient continent. Their Soul Consciousness couldn't sense the surroundings. However, Shi Yan's co-soul had the same origin as the ancient continent. It wasn't bound by something. Shi Yan could still sense the surroundings.
They were waiting for the right chance to defeat the other. Since the two of them weren't the equal opponents of the other five, they had been following them quietly. However, they didn't want to attack them.
Suddenly, ShiYan furrowed his eyebrows as his body halted.
Shang Ying Yue's graceful body halted too. She twisted her slender waist and turned to look at him, her bright eyes asking for his opinion.
Bai Hao, Mia, and the others went to the massive cave Shi Yan had created. Shi Yan had felt a beam of blue light there. That blue light had shaken the stars in his Ethereal Extent. It seemed to be some strange treasure. At this moment, Bai Hao and Mia seemed to find something. They stood still there.
"Do you want to attack them?" Shang Ying Yue called him as he didn't answer her. "If you're not sure, don't act rashly. If the five of them don't separate, we're not their match."
Shi Yan nodded and sat down on the muddy ground. He squinted and said nothing. His co-soul flickered like a ghost flame, releasing clear soul energy fluctuations.
After a while, Shi Yan's eyes sparkled with a cold light. "I got it!"
"What is it?" Shang Ying Yue screamed in surprise.
"Just wait for the good show!"
ShiYan disappeared like a bolt of lightning, crazily dashing in another direction.
