Chapter 1559: Chapter 1559: News Comes
Back in the Future Rookie Challenge, when he lost to Lan, he still thought the gap between them shouldn’t be that large. Once he broke through to the God Rank, this gap might no longer exist. After all, for their clan, whether one is God Rank greatly affects the strength difference.
But today, following Lan Xuanyu out, he sensed something unfathomable about the person before him. He couldn’t determine Lan’s current strength, only feeling that there was an aura akin to the laws of Heaven and Earth emanating from him.
The Prince of the Mantis Clan had never fought Lan Xuanyu, but he had heard and seen many legends about the Golden Dragon Princess. At this moment, he was increasingly shocked. Is this the aura and power that a God Rank could possess? Why did it make him feel so anxious and cautious? After all, “she” wasn’t even a Dragon Knight!
Their flying speed was incredibly fast, more accurately, it was Lan Xuanyu carrying the other three in flight. In the silent space, Lan Xuanyu released his energy to create thrust, quickly attaining a super high speed. His Seven-Colored Divine Dragon Armor naturally formed a shield that enveloped all of them.
Currently, the fleet was stationed on the dark side of a small asteroid not far from Celestial Harmony Star, so they weren’t far from it to begin with.
Soon, that massive planet appeared in their sight.
Lan Xuanyu controlled his body, slowing down, and everything they saw next filled them with awe.
Seeing through a screen and witnessing in person were entirely different experiences.
The gigantic planet looked as if it was diseased, covered by large patches of dark red, yet from a distance, one could still see a yellow shield on its surface composed of countless hexagons, blocking the dark red invasion.
“As expected, just like you predicted! Incredible.” The Prince of the Mantis Clan couldn’t help but say.
Lan Xuanyu wanted to get closer to confirm this point. It’s not that the warship’s radar couldn’t scan, but scanning it might risk detection by the Deep Red Realm.
Therefore, once the fleet approached, he immediately ordered complete silence for the entire fleet. Unless powerful beings like the Mother of Deep Red intentionally scanned their direction with divine consciousness, it was unlikely they could detect their presence from such a distance.
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes slightly narrowed, his Purple Demon Eyes, cultivated to their peak, stared intently at the situation on Celestial Harmony Star. Very soon, he had made a judgment in his heart.
“Let’s go back.” He said, then turned around and flew back the way they came.
The other three hurried to follow.
“You’re not going to take another look?” the Prince of the Eight-Armed Demon God asked.
Lan Xuanyu shook his head, “We’ve seen what needed to be seen. We’ll come every day now, there’s no rush.” There were still three days left until the seven-day support time. This seven-day timeline was based on the thirty-six-hour days of Sky Dragon Planet.
A stalemate on the battlefield isn’t necessarily a good thing. It’s more important to observe and wait for the best opportunity to strike.
No rush.
Returning to the warship, Lan Xuanyu didn’t let the two princes follow. He needed to formulate a more detailed plan for the upcoming battle and determine how to respond to any situation.
This batch of reinforcements was not originally expected to be decisive in the battle, but more importantly, to keep the Deep Red Realm focused and trapped on this battlefield.
“Lord Lan, I have something to report to you alone.” A voice transmission reached his ear.
Lan Xuanyu’s heart stirred, and he also transmitted his voice with divine consciousness, “Come over.”
He found a private cabin. Not long after, Yuanen Guangjun walked briskly in from outside.
After closing the door, Lan Xuanyu had the Treasure Hunting Beast release isolation energy, his eyes sparkling, “Is there news from home?”
“Yes. The latest news.” Yuanen Guangjun said excitedly.
As she spoke, light flashed in her hand, and a light screen appeared, displaying text without any images.
Yuanen Guangjun said, “The federation has attached great importance to the information we provided. They also asked me to convey the deepest respect from the federation to you and everyone. This time, the information is crucial to the survival of the federation, and they will take the most solemn attitude toward the action. Currently, the first, third, fifth, and seventh cosmic fleets have begun mobilizing, moving toward the Dragon Horse Galaxy while concealing themselves as much as possible, waiting for our message at any time. The federation also informed us that when the right moment arises, you have the authority to command the four cosmic fleets for support in any direction. The decision on how to direct the four fleets’ movements and attack directions is entirely up to you.”
After hearing this, Lan Xuanyu was taken aback. The trust given to him was quite astonishing! This was almost half of the federation’s forces. Cosmic fleets were not something that could be built easily.
Seeing his surprised look, Yuanen Guangjun smiled, “I believe the federation made the best decision. This is the kind of authority you deserve, and for you, it’s also a heavy responsibility, Lord of the Level 9 Sky Fighters. You now hold authority equivalent to that of the Minister of Defense. The many things you’ve done for the federation, the confidential information and resources you’ve brought back, have made it impossible for those who used to criticize you for your age to say anything against you. Our War God Hall, along with your Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, all express full support. The Tang Sect also has a confidential document to convey to you. I don’t know what it is either. You’ll need to use the Tang Sect’s code to view it yourself.”
As she spoke, the light screen changed, and an icon resembling a folder appeared.
Yuanen Guangjun turned around to show her avoidance. She had not yet reached God Rank and did not have the ability to scan with divine consciousness.
Lan Xuanyu smiled slightly, “It’s okay, let’s look together. Since this confidential document could be sent over, I believe at least some departments of the federation have seen it; otherwise, it wouldn’t have reached me through your channel.”
Yuanen Guangjun smiled awkwardly and turned back.
Lan Xuanyu opened the confidential document using the Tang Sect’s exclusive code, revealing all the text.
“Xuanyu, I am the Sea God Pavilion Master. The images and frontline reports you sent back are extremely important. We have urgently convened a Sea God Pavilion meeting to study it. We verified with the relevant federation departments and can basically confirm one thing. If you have read the history of the academy, you should know that about ten thousand years ago, Douluo Planet faced a massive crisis. It was the invasion from the abyssal plane. Only by ultimately defeating the abyssal plane did the Eternal Tree absorb energy from the abyssal plane, evolving the life core, allowing the whole planet to evolve, which led to today’s federation.”
“What we must tell you is that this time, the creatures appearing in the Deep Red Realm are strikingly similar to the abyssal creatures back then. Even if there are differences, they seem to be evolved versions of abyssal creatures.”
“Among them, the higher the level of the creature, the more similar it is. However, in terms of levels, they are far superior to abyssal creatures. Back then, the abyssal plane had only the final Abyss Sage King, which could barely be considered a Super God Level strong being. Most other abyssal creatures were entities below God Rank. However, the Deep Red Realm appears to be an advanced version of abyssal creatures. At present, we can’t determine if the abyssal plane and Deep Red Realm have a direct relationship, or if it’s a common trait among this kind of Devouring Dimension to have similar characteristics and appearances. But what we can confirm is that both have the Immortal characteristic in the way they resurrect creatures.”
“In battles back then, the lower-level abyssal creatures were easier to resurrect, almost endlessly, while the higher-level abyssal creatures found it increasingly difficult to recover after death. They were also relatively unwilling to die, because although they could recover, their consciousness could be different. Advanced creatures who had gained intellect certainly wouldn’t want their consciousness erased or annihilated. By extension, the situation in the Deep Red Realm should be similar. If those advanced creatures die and want to revive, it would require massive energy, especially if they can be truly killed, it would be a significant blow to the Deep Red Realm.”
