Chapter 1537: Chapter 185 Worm Overload
At this moment, Long Yi had already disguised himself as an ordinary person, traveling on a spaceship heading toward the Stellar Realm Arena. He didn’t rush directly to the Stellar Realm Arena but instead chose to first learn about the status of this Plane through the conversation of commoners. To his delight, after his departure, there had not been too much change on this Plane. The two great Empires, The Divine Auffa Empire and the Sanctuary Empire, were still the same. After a brief period of peace, the two Empires had resumed their oppositional stance, with occasional conflicts arising. However, their strength was closely matched, so neither could truly best the other.
Those Ancient Powerhouses had been scared half to death by Long Yi previously. Some had returned to the public eye, not as the hidden rulers they once were but as high-ranking ministers of their countries. Although their actual powers had not changed much, this was fundamentally different for the Emperors, who, after all, hoped to use the strength of these Ancient Powerhouses for their own purposes.
The only issue was that Long Yi had not heard any news about the Ancient Mage Tower. According to the people around him, the Ancient Mage Tower had completely vanished from the Plane after that war, with no one hearing about or seeing it ever since. Long Yi had inquired with many and even confirmed this information through Divine Power and psychic magic spells.
The Ancient Mage Tower had truly disappeared.
So Long Yi’s first stop was the Stellar Realm Arena because the Arena itself was a large spaceship belonging to the Giants, with even more complete facilities. Long Yi had left some devices within the Ancient Mage Tower that could help him locate its position. However, Long Yi dared not activate these devices; in this world teeming with Worms, any rash action could lead to complications without certainty of safety.
The spaceship landed on the outskirts of the Stellar Realm Arena, and from a distance, Long Yi could see a golden statue.
That was himself.
Even with his thick skin, he still felt somewhat embarrassed. However, beyond this embarrassment, Long Yi was astonished to discover something else.
Belief.
He could clearly feel that some people were praying to him with sincere devotion! Most of these praying individuals were warriors, praying to him to further enhance their strength; praying to overcome their current enemies; praying to break through their current limits.
Was that how it worked?
These people’s faith was not particularly steadfast; Long Yi had many adherents, so their belief was overshadowed. But now that he was here, in their presence, Long Yi immediately sensed their faith. Should he perhaps respond to their faith?
After a moment’s thought, why not? Harnessing their faith, Long Yi chose some individuals who seemed to have good conduct and responded a little with Divine Power to their faith. Of course, the way he responded was very simple. Long Yi could not transform them into invincible contenders, but instead gave them a slight nudge regarding their current issues, such as small technical matters. This allowed them to have a moment of clarity and then solve these problems directly. At first, they might not think there was anything special about it, but as these individuals gathered together, they would realize that their mysterious newfound belief seemed to be truly effective!
Upon entering the Stellar Realm Arena, Long Yi separated from those wishing to watch the matches or participate. He cautiously sensed all the energy fluctuations around him to ensure there were no traces of Worms. Meanwhile, he hastened straight to the heart of the Stellar Realm Arena.
The Stellar Realm Arena was a large spaceship of the Giants’ kind, with the owner of the Arena being the original maintenance personnel present there. Knowing some of the other hidden channels that led inside the ship, Long Yi entered the interior of the spaceship without alerting anyone.
Everything here was structured the same as when he had left.
Long Yi didn’t come here to activate any devices, but rather to remove something: a passive radar that could receive magic, Fighting Aura, Divine Power, and even psychic energy signals among almost all types of energy signals. Since Long Yi dared not actively activate the equipment on the Ancient Mage Tower, he could only use this device to passively search for the signals of the Ancient Mage Tower.
This radar had a huge size commensurate with its functions, usually it was hidden beneath thick armor because of its high precision and could not afford any damage. Fortunately, Long Yi’s personal space was large enough to easily accommodate this nearly kilometer-diameter giant radar.
Having done all this, Long Yi left the Stellar Realm Arena quietly, without alerting anyone.
After leaving the Stellar Realm Arena, Long Yi found a deserted star sector, unfolded the large radar, and crafted an armor layer over its surface with Divine Power to prevent cosmic dust from affecting its precision. Then, he summoned the Great Explorer, linking its radar signal with that of the giant radar.
