Chapter 1792: Doesn't Feel Like Much of a Gain?
Actually, against Transcendents of Bai Kou's type, as the top-tier Space System user, Li Mingshan actually had plenty of ways to deal with her!
Once Gangstantin was caught, he didn't even want to fight anymore. Thinking back to that extremely ambiguous operation…
Jiangnan let out a bitter laugh.
He kept saying that humanity had no chance against the Ten Thousand Races, that the gap was too great, that resistance was meaningless, and that a wise man submits to circumstances.
Yet he could never let go. Standing in his position, he did everything he could…
Even if the help was minimal, even if it didn't make a difference, he still took the risk and did it…
Including lying on the pyramid to sunbathe—was he afraid we wouldn't notice something was wrong?
Jiangnan muttered: "Just how vast is the outside world? What is Thousand Stars City really like…"
"How strong are the Ten Thousand Races? I really want to see it with my own eyes."
At this moment, Jiangnan looked up at the sky. The blazing sun was dazzling. He reached out as if to grab the sun in his hand.
The seed long buried in his heart was taking root and sprouting uncontrollably.
The Starry Sky Races, Thousand Stars City—that was a stage for the Ten Thousand Races, but there was no place for humanity!
If every star system was a lonely island of starlight, then Thousand Stars City was the bridges set up in the vast cosmic space, connecting those isolated islands together!
Unfortunately, Blue Star never had such a bridge.
Jiangnan really wanted to see what kind of world Li Mingshan had witnessed.
His words carried a lot of information!
Even though Jiangnan had never met Jiang Fan nor lived in his era, simply following his footsteps in later times, he could deeply feel his power!
After over three thousand years, this world, this starry sky still remembered his name!
Yet someone as brilliant as him still couldn't make a change.
After leaving a line on the Moon Core Monument, he resolutely set off into the starry sky…
To make a change, one had to surpass the predecessors, even surpass Jiang Fan?
To become the one who could withstand the pressure of the Ten Thousand Races and carry the banner of the human race?
A question arose in Jiangnan's heart.
Could he… really do it?
Jiangnan never thought of himself as the fated one. He was just a street vendor with no ambition, liking money and pretty girls, hoping everyone around him would be well and happy!
But as he moved forward to today, too many things were beyond his control. He carried too many expectations on his shoulders.
Maybe… he should try a little in that direction?
What if he could do it?
"There was never any fate. It's just the will of the many. If you've come this far, then it's you. It has to be you…"
"I can't let everyone down, right…"
Bai Kou stood beside him, quietly watching Jiangnan. She couldn't hear what he was saying, but she could feel that the momentum around Jiangnan had changed again.
She vaguely remembered that when she first met Jiangnan, he was wild and unrestrained, and every time she met him after that, it felt like a completely new Jiangnan.
This guy was growing and changing rapidly under the pressure of the times, the tempering of war, the changes of the era, and the constant battles!
Now, Jiangnan was mature and steady, daring to think and act, as if nothing could bring him down. His thin body seemed to contain infinite energy!
Just thinking about it made people feel at ease.
Perhaps this era would one day belong to Jiangnan, right?
It was just that this Teletubbies outfit really broke the immersion!
Qian Benying: (๑͡°д͡°) "Hey hey hey! What are you standing there blankly staring at the sky for?"
"Are you done with these metal towers or not? If not, I'm taking them away!"
She pretended to dismantle the towers.
Jiangnan's eyes widened. He kicked Qian Benying away.
─=≡Σ(((つ•̀～•́)つ "Shoo shoo! They're mine! Who said I don't want them? I'm packing all of these up!"
He frantically dismantled the towers and stuffed them into his Alternate Dimension.
These were alien technology; maybe he could study them later.
He didn't even spare the broken metal towers or the fragments on the ground—he picked everything up and took it away!
He cleaned up thoroughly, like a plucked goose and uprooted grass—nothing left behind.
Bai Kou's mouth twitched.
(⇀﹏↼❅) Right. Forget I said anything!
In a flash, Jiangnan had looted everything, taking all the metal towers.
Although the invisibility had worn off, the effect of the Low-Key Sugar Orange was still active.
Jiangnan held his chin, looking annoyed:
(•́ก•̀ꐦ) "It doesn't feel like much of a gain, huh? A big operation like this, four Transcendents, and we only got this little loot?"
"Seems like a loss, doesn't it?"
Bai Kou almost spat out her ice slush. You call this a loss?
You destroyed the Black Barrier, caught a Duanmeiwei and an Upper Clan Bose body—that's already overachieving!
They even blew up the enemy's base!
Qian Benying nodded at Jiangnan's mouth shape:
(๑ớ₃ờ) "Yeah, a little. Feels like we didn't do much, not satisfying enough."
(๑◔◡◔ิ๑) "Right, right?"
Bai Kou: (≖_≖)
You two talk while kicking sacks? Can't you stay idle for even half a minute?
Jiangnan and Qian Benying never stopped kicking the sacks, kicking them hard!
Gangstantin and Duanmeiwei could only take the beating, their morale completely shattered.
Jiangnan's eyes suddenly lit up:
(๑ᵒ̶̶̷̀.̫˂̶́)و "Since we stole the Black Barrier, let's go steal the Beacon Star Palace too!"
"Old Man Xiao and the others are still fighting. With the Black Barrier broken, Carl will definitely notice and think our main target was the Black Barrier."
"Then we can counter-steal the Star Palace. He definitely won't expect it. Perfect!"
Qian Benying, still in her violent mood, naturally didn't think it was a big deal: "Right, right! Totally agree!"
Bai Kou: ∑(°口°❅)
Have these two gone mad? Stealing the Black Barrier wasn't enough? Now they want to steal the Beacon Star Palace? That's the enemy's home base!
"The Beacon Star Palace has a protective shield, right? Even Transcendents can't break through. Are you sure?"
Jiangnan patted his chest: (◕ˇᴗˇ◕) "I'm the most experienced at breaking protective shields. Let's go give it a try. Come on!"
With that, he refreshed a Low-Key Sugar Orange and put on another Teletubbies outfit.
Transformed into Jiang Fatty Red!
He also gave Bai Kou and Qian Benying Sugar Oranges and Invisibility Cloaks.
Now their voices were finally in sync!
Jiangnan and Qian Benying each carried a Du An sack with a person inside, grabbed Bai Kou, and charged straight toward the Beacon Star Palace on the polar ice plain!
Jiangnan was excited. If they could actually get in, that would be great!
He wondered what treasures were inside.
No matter what, he had to seize the Beacon Star Palace as a home base. A War Fortress like that was just too cool!
At the same time, he was also considering the Warp Bubble matter.
He was about to reach Star Glory Three, and his skill slot was still empty.
He had thought several times about absorbing the Space-Spirit Pearl of the Dimensional Earthworm to add another spiritual skill, which would greatly increase his strength.
But the temptation of the Warp Bubble was too strong. He had just been too busy running around dealing with the global spiritual disaster, with no time to get it.
Back then, Li Mingshan had also tried several times to get the Warp Bubble. After all, all his spiritual skills were from the Ethereal Dragon Loach, but he was unlucky and failed twice.
Now that Li Mingshan had brought it up again…
Whether to increase strength or to pave the way for the future…
He had to get the Warp Bubble, didn't he?
It seemed he really needed to find time to deal with that mudfish.
While planning, Jiangnan sped toward the Beacon Star Palace.
…
As for the Black Barrier being broken, Blue Star's response wasn't instantaneous.
The energy dissipation also took a process.
Over at the polar ice plain, fighting had gone insane. The glaciers had melted from the heat.
The sea level must have risen by who knows how many meters.
Later, Bai Kou would have to come back and freeze it again.
The battle was extremely intense. Xiao Chuihuo and the other two, while trading blows with Carl, didn't forget verbal attacks. They were like barbells turned into living beings!
They continuously blasted Carl with essence of Blue Star culture. You had to say, Bose bodies learned fast!
While being cursed bloody, Carl's skill in cursing was also rapidly improving.
Xiao Chuihuo: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Is that all you've got? You dare use a sword? Aren't you ashamed? A three-year-old swinging a shoehorn does more damage than you!"
"But your cheapness is really strong! Your cheap method is unrivaled! You little cheap thing! Laitou bitch!"
Carl cursed back: (damnꐦ) "You old turtle bastard, say that again? I'll…"
Before he could finish, a mechanical female voice came from the Beacon Star Palace!
"Shielding obstruction cleared. Upload channel unobstructed. Terminal connection successful. Beginning data synchronization…"
Carl's eyes widened, his expression changing drastically!
୧(*ﾟ口ﾟ)୨ "Holy shit! Don't transmit! Don't fucking transmit! Isn't there a Black Barrier shielding? What's going on? The Black Barrier…"
Mid-sentence, Carl suddenly realized, his gaze turning to Xiao Chuihuo and the other two!
All three were wearing sardonic smiles!
(｡΄◞ิ▿◟ิ‵)(๑¯ิʖ̫¯ิ)(∗⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛)✧
That kid Jiangnan, pretty quick on his feet, huh? Already done?
Carl: !!!
Damn it, I was set up. No wonder those three came looking, cursing me out of the blue!
They were distracting me while someone went to remove the Black Barrier?
Playing dirty? Scheming against me?
Damn it, big trouble!
(ꐦ͡°yi͡°) "Rhein! Destroy the upload channel! Don't let the Beacon Star Palace share data!"
Rhein said urgently: "Can't do it. This is a core function of the Beacon Star Palace. Every Star Palace, after establishing a beacon, automatically syncs data with the terminal!"
"Even with admin privileges, you can't stop it!"
Carl was furious: "I know better than you! Physically stop it, you idiot! Tch—"
It was too late. Carl couldn't care less. He directly ascended dimensionally and rushed back inside the Star Palace shield.
Lifting his Holy Judgment Sword, he hacked down at a spot inside the spherical fortress—the transmitter!
His face was full of agony!
Damn it! His premium Beacon Star Palace!
How much would it cost to repair after this sword strike?
At this moment, Carl felt like he was smashing his own car's computer with a sledgehammer!
Even Xiao Chuihuo and the others were stunned.
What's going on? Just removing the Black Barrier, why is Carl so nervous?
He's even attacking his own Holy Star base?
