Chapter 168: Chapter 94: Celestial Eye Plan, Life Secret Medicine
Encountering a situation like this on his first mission was completely unexpected.
Reality never follows a script.
Anything could happen.
After saying his farewells to Dongfang Yao, Chen Yu also took his leave.
The mission was complete, so there was no reason to stay any longer.
He couldn’t go to the Tangula Abyss for now. Who knew if he might run into an even more powerful member of the Celestial Eye Race.
He was quite satisfied with having obtained a truly special Source of Life.
You have to take things one step at a time; taking too large a stride can easily cause problems.
——
「A day later.」
The next morning, Chen Yu and his group returned to Jingzhou by military helicopter.
Upon returning to the Superpower Academy, Chen Yu got a good night’s sleep.
His trip to Qu City to complete the mission had left him mentally exhausted.
「Three days later.」
In the Dean’s office at the Superpower Academy, Chen Yu once again met the man with the long hair and sunglasses.
Seeing Chen Yu, the man with the long hair and sunglasses approached with a smile. "Chen Yu, congratulations."
Hearing this, Chen Yu understood. The man must be here to give him his reward from the Alliance.
He didn’t lack cultivation resources at the moment, but more were always welcome.
If he couldn’t use them himself, he could always set some aside for his brothers.
Still, he decided to feign ignorance. He looked at the man with the long hair and sunglasses and asked, "Sir, what are you congratulating me for?"
"You kid, playing dumb when you already know the answer," the Dean chuckled from the side.
The man with the long hair and sunglasses looked at him and said, "You performed exceptionally well on this mission. The alien you captured alive has been a great contribution to our Alliance. Therefore, the Alliance has decided to promote you. You are now a level-three member."
"Sir, were you able to get any information from that member of the Celestial Eye Race?" Chen Yu wasn’t too concerned about his promotion; he was far more curious about the situation with the Celestial Eye Race.
The man with the long hair and sunglasses pondered for a moment before looking at him. "In principle, I’m not supposed to tell you this. However, since you were involved, I can make an exception. From this member of the Celestial Eye Race, we’ve learned of a plan they have to launch a war against the Ancestor Star."
!!!
A war against the Ancestor Star!
’So, Dongfang Yi’s prediction was right,’ Chen Yu thought to himself.
However, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of fear. On the contrary, he was excited.
The man with the long hair and sunglasses continued with a grave expression, "If this plan succeeds, I’m afraid ninety percent of humanity on the Ancestor Star will perish in this war with the Alien Race."
?
"It’s that serious?" Chen Yu looked at the man, his face etched with disbelief.
He knew war was brutal, but wasn’t this a bit of an exaggeration?
The Ancestor Star was protected by a True God, after all.
And even without a True God’s protection, the power contained within the Ancestor Star itself was not insignificant.
Martial arts were now practiced by the entire populace. And while there weren’t many top-tier Martial Artists or elite Awakened, there were still quite a few.
Ninety percent... that was practically enough to wipe out the entire Ancestor Star.
A situation like that would likely be even more devastating than the Stellar Battlefield!
The man with the long hair and sunglasses nodded, his expression grim. "It’s no exaggeration. The Celestial Eye Race calls this the Celestial Eye Plan. If the Celestial Eye Plan succeeds, the outcome could be even worse."
"Then what exactly is this Celestial Eye Plan?" Chen Yu asked.
"We don’t have the full picture yet, only a part of it. The Celestial Eye Race has already allied with multiple other Alien Races—about a dozen of them. They’ve pretty much rallied all the Alien Races hiding on the Ancestor Star."
Allied with a dozen other Alien Races...
Hearing this, Chen Yu’s heart sank.
This situation was getting out of hand!
"But that’s not the most important part. It seems the Celestial Eye Race has gained the support of an extremely powerful Alien Race," the man added.
Hmm?
His words piqued Chen Yu’s curiosity. He looked at the man and asked, "So which powerful Alien Race is backing the Celestial Eye Race?"
The Celestial Eye Race was already extremely powerful on its own. They had over a dozen colony planets in the Celestial River Star System.
Their overall strength surpassed humanity’s.
While the Celestial Eye Alien Race couldn’t be called the absolute rulers of the Celestial River Star System, they were definitely one of its most powerful races.
And yet, listening to the man, the Alien Race supporting them sounded even more terrifying.
"It’s an Alien Race from another star system. We don’t have specific information, but the one thing we do know is that this race is very strong," the man with the long hair and sunglasses replied.
"Another star system..."
Chen Yu’s brow furrowed.
This situation was indeed getting out of hand!
An Alien Race from another star system!
That made the situation more than just serious.
Although he wasn’t an expert on the Stellar Alien Races, Chen Yu knew a few things.
There was an unwritten interstellar Law between star systems.
Under normal circumstances, one star system would not interfere in the affairs of another.
Every star system had its own troubles and conflicts.
Provoking an Alien Race from another star system could lead to being attacked from all sides, potentially wiping out an entire race in an instant.
Moreover, the Celestial River Star System was chaotic, lacking a single dominant race to maintain order, which is why the fighting on the Stellar Battlefield had erupted in the first place.
A chaotic free-for-all between hundreds, even thousands, of Alien Races.
This kind of situation wasn’t common in other star systems.
Because of this, other star systems wouldn’t rashly interfere in the affairs of others.
Of course, there were exceptions to every rule; nothing was absolute.
And he had learned all this from Dongfang Yi.
The universe was far more complex and chaotic than one could ever imagine!
"Although we don’t know everything, we’ve learned a portion of it. The Celestial Eye Plan isn’t guaranteed to happen. The Alliance will make a decision," the man with the long hair and sunglasses said slowly.
