Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Yin Long, have you found the coordinates?” A Top Operative slowly walked out of his resting room. He yawned as he walked. Although his actions seemed slow, he was actually incredibly fast. It only took him two steps before he reached where Yin Long was and sat down.
“Bin Hong.” Yin Long was exasperated, looking at the lethargic person in front of him. “Were you sleeping again? Speaking of which, if you keep sleeping from morning till night every day, your strength will drop.”
“It’s the side effect of the Sleep Soul Stone. What can I do about it?” Bin Hong helplessly shrugged. “It’s a good thing that I get to wake up every once in a while.”
With the Sleep Soul Stone, any person that his attacks connected with would instantly fall into a deep slumber. It was a very powerful ability.
“Alright.” Yin Long knew that there were no solutions to this. “In that case, have a good sleep on the space carrier. Don’t let this interfere with the official business. That won’t be good.”
“Understood.” Bin Hong yawned again. Within seconds, he was asleep once more.
“Yin Long, is everything settled?” A few more Top Operatives walked in. The one in front had fiery-red hair that pointed at the sky. His entire right arm was covered in fire-like tattoos. He asked, “When are we leaving? Let’s hurry and settle everything. I don’t want to stay in this shitty place any second longer than I have to.”
“Of course. We’ll leave once everyone is here.” Yin Long looked around and realized someone was missing. “Huo Lang, where did Ai’er go? Why isn’t she here yet?”
“Her?” Huo Lang looked very perverted when he mentioned this Ai’er. “That girl is definitely watching another couple’s breakup right now. You know her, it’s always been her weird fetish.”
“Alright. Then we’ll wait for her.” Yin Long pouted. “She has no sense of time.”
Fortunately, they did not have to wait long. After around five minutes, a deep female voice was heard. “Such a disappointment. That young couple didn’t break up. They even got back together and went to get a room.” A young woman with light makeup on slowly walked in. She had a head of beautiful purple long hair, falling over her shoulders like a waterfall. Her gentle eyes smiled lightly.
She was around 1.75 meters tall, and she had curves in all the right places. Her golden ratio body paired with her angelic features proved to everyone that she was a beauty. She was a beauty who could rival the goddess Li Nianwei!
At least 120 points and above.
“We were waiting on you.” Yin Long instantly stood up once he saw her arrive. He dragged Bin Hong’s leg and started walking out. “Let’s go now. The faster we settle things, the faster we can go home.”
Bin Hong still did not wake up even though he was being dragged by Yin Long across the ground. It was an amazing scene.
...
Old Earth, Tianjing City Central.
This place was just completely leveled by the bombing from a few mid-sized spacecrafts. This was where the Sangle building used to be.
Of course, none of that mattered anymore.
The important thing now was that millions of ordinary citizens were gathered here. There were people of all colors present. The farmers from Heavenly State, the homeless from Merika, the beggars from Jaban State, etc.
The only similarity that they shared was that they were all very old. Their average age was definitely above seventy.
They were the ones who did not want to endure the hardships of the great migration from Old Earth. After all, at their age, they could have just died on the difficult journey or the tough process of acclimatization.
Now, they looked at the soldiers in the distance standing on the spacecrafts from the universe. All of them were deeply worried.
After all, although they were getting old, they still had the instinctive fear of death.
“Old man. What do you think they will do?” An old lady turned pale from fear. “Will they kill us just like that?”
“It’s difficult to say.” The old man consoled his partner by patting her hand. “Don’t be too afraid. I believe that the Young Master will come and save us.”
“Really?” The old lady sighed. “Hopefully, sigh...”
Discussions like that occurred everywhere below. Some were worried about their survival, some were worried about their future food source. Of course, some accepted the situation and thought that they had lived a worthwhile life now that they saw some aliens...
“Are all the humans on this planet gathered here?” The General in charge of the 100 space carriers looked at the millions of elderly people transported here from all corners of the Earth. His expression was stern and cold.
Although he did not manage to catch Hong Dali, he was not as enraged as he previously was. On the contrary, he was very satisfied with the results. He obtained millions of captives without losing a single soldier or bullet. That was a decent outcome.
“Yes, Sir.” A Sergeant nodded and said, “All the humans on this planet have been gathered here below us—our reconnaissance spacecraft has scanned the entire surface of the Earth as well as the underground space ten kilometers below that. The ones who did not come willingly or resisted were all disposed of.”
Now that he said that, things were certain—the only humans alive on Earth were gathered here. Everyone else either migrated away or were already killed...
“Hm, categorize all these people and sort them accordingly.” The General did not care at all about his subordinates murdering the humans here. He calmly nodded and ordered, “Remember, make sure they don’t starve to death. Ensure that they have enough food. They are all hostages. They can be useful if we ever need to negotiate terms with Hong Dali.”
“Yes, Sir!” The Sergeant instantly left to make arrangements.
Soon, the millions of people gathered here were divided into hundreds of smaller teams. They all boarded the mid-sized spacecrafts specially designed to transport hostages. They had ample food and water inside the spacecrafts. Of course, they also lost their freedom entirely.
Once everything was settled, the General looked at another Sergeant and said, “Alright, inform the Top Operatives. Everything here has been settled. We await their next instructions.”
“Yes, Sir!” The Sergeant instantly left to post the message.
Soon, Yin Long and the other Top Operatives who had already boarded their space carrier received the message from Old Earth. They were preparing for the Space Oscillation. Yin Long was very satisfied with what the General had done. He smiled and said, “Well done. Treat the hostages well. We’ll use them to negotiate terms with Hong Dali. Of course, that’s if negotiations are necessary.”
Huo Lang heard what Yin Long said and laughed. He looked at Yin Long with disdain. “Yin Long, your joke isn’t funny at all. You think we’ll need hostages for negotiations with such a rural planet?”
“That’s true.” Yin Long smiled. “I guess I’m paranoid. Everyone, prepare yourselves. We will proceed with the Space Oscillation now.”
After he said that, the 300 space carriers formed energy chains between one another. Once all 300 space carriers were connected, space began to warp, fold, and eventually collapse into a single dot. Everything disappeared instantly.
...
New Earth.
This was a giant warehouse. Although it was called a warehouse, it was actually just the preliminary model. To be more precise, this was just a large courtyard surrounded by huge rocks.
There were countless huge raw stones piled in the courtyard. The big ones were a few meters in diameter, whereas the small ones were only one meter in diameter. If the stones were tagged with price tags and the courtyard was filled with people, this would basically become a stone-betting market.
Right then, Hong Dali and the rest arrived at this place in a spacecraft.
“We’re here.” The mysterious man led Hong Dali and the rest into the courtyard. “This is Wu Di... hm.” When he mentioned Wu Di, his expression was a little unnatural. He then changed his tone. “This is the warehouse that I mentioned previously. All the valuable raw materials discovered on the New Earth have been gathered here.”
Once he finished, the mysterious man looked at Hong Dali. “Do you need us to go out?”
“Oh, there’s no rush.” Hong Dali waved his hands. “Everyone, give me some space. I want to say something to my grandpa.”
Everyone knew that the two of them must have had something private to discuss and left them alone.
“Grandpa.” Hong Dali sniffled and asked, “I heard you mention Uncle Chief’s name just now. You seemed a little off afterward. Did something happen to Uncle Chief?”
“Oh, no.” The mysterious man shook his head. “It’s nothing major. His condition is just a little off recently. I didn’t want to bring it up, but you still caught on. Hehe.”
“Is he really okay?” Hong Dali carefully looked into the mysterious man’s eyes. It seemed like it was not anything major.
No matter what, Grandpa Mysterious should not be ruthless towards the Chief. Furthermore, my dad and mom are both fine living here. Geezer Wang and little Bai Hechou are here too. I don’t think there are any major issues here.
“He’s really fine.” The mysterious man patted Hong Dali’s shoulders and said, “Relax. You know my relationship with Wu Di. I always treated him as a brother.”
“Alright.” Hong Dali thought about it and decided to focus on the problem at hand—the High Nobles’ fleet was about to arrive. He had to acquire the Health gems first no matter what. “Then, I’ll begin.”
“Hm, I’ll head out first. Once you’re done, please call me.” The mysterious man nodded and left too.
Once everyone was gone, Hong Dali looked at the huge batch of raw stones in front of him and inhaled deeply. “Gem processing!”
