Chapter 2748: Jealousy Makes Me Ugly!
Noah, Manti, and Chong Qianjin couldn't help but sigh, just as Jiangnan had said!
The real war had actually already begun. Even under the current situation, all kinds of open and covert struggles were commonplace!
Everyone was fighting for their own advantage, accumulating initial capital, so that their side would have the means to survive in the coming chaos!
This was also part of the war!
It's just that the fighting hasn't started yet...
And looking at the results, the Carbon Alliance had already taken the lead over everyone else!
But this was far from enough!
Chong Qianjin frowned deeply and couldn't help but sigh:
(◞‸◟) "Then should we still continue preparing for the Vertex War six months from now?"
Jiangnan grinned:
(˵¯͒↼¯͒) "What, if the Vertex War doesn't happen, we don't need to prepare? Even if the starry sky situation collapses later and chaos breaks out among all races, every race needs Star Devourers to hold the fort—the more the better!"
"These two things don't conflict. We're preparing for the Vertex War, and we're also preparing for the upcoming Thousand Stars War!"
"If our own side has more Star Devourers stationed, naturally we'll have more confidence!"
Once war breaks out, every single Star Devourer is an irreplaceable asset!
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. Even though the situation had deteriorated to this point, what needed to be done remained unchanged!
Ye Yuanwei and Ye Jinse exchanged glances and nodded:
(∗❛ั◠❛ั)(❛ั～❛ั∗) "Looks like we can't suppress our levels anymore. We'll go back and break through to Star Devourer. Whether it's for the Vertex War or to have more capital in these chaotic times!"
Du Lingyu propped her chin:
(͡°ก͡°)✧ "Lady Manti, can I use the Apocalypse Altar later? With that, I can probably break through to Star Devourer in about three months."
Manti smiled: "I've already prepared it for you!"
Bannilu's expression was serious:
꒰⸝⸝･ˇ_ˇ･⸝⸝꒱ "In extraordinary times, we must use extraordinary methods. Lady Bannimei, I..."
Bannimei grinned: "Don't worry! The Emerald Sky of the Gamma Clan will shine upon you. Even though there's only a seventy percent chance, it's worth a try!"
Chong Qianjin pondered:
(〃︶◠︶) "Chong Kunchong should also ascend to Star Devourer. Our insect race having just one Star Devourer seems a bit thin. Later, let her go to the Insect Ancestor's Nest to receive the inheritance!"
"Half a year should be enough for her to rush to Star Devourer!"
Just as everyone was discussing, a sound of "creaking creaking" came!
Jiangnan was biting his nails like crazy, his eyes red with jealousy:
(๑jealousy๑) "Screw this! Unfair! All of them combined aren't even enough for me to beat with one hand. Why can they become Star Devourers while I can't?"
"With this kind of accumulation, they can become Star Devourers? Is it really that easy to become a Star Devourer?"
(ง༎ຶ益༎ຶ)ง "Aaaah! Seeing them level up hurts me more than seeing myself drop levels!"
Ye Yuanwei's mouth twitched. So this is what they mean by jealousy making one's face unrecognizable?
Noah grinned slyly:
(◕ಡ̫ಡ) "Aiyaya~ Right now, all of them combined can't beat you. But after they become Star Devourers, maybe they can~"
"Tsk tsk tsk~ The leading Southern God is about to be surpassed by his younger peers~"
Jiangnan: !!!
(`~´◦)☛ "Big Pot! Look at him! He's being sarcastic with me!"
Black God: (●°᷄д°᷅) Huh?
Noah shuddered and immediately backed down, shrinking his neck:
(٥◔ㅂ◔ิ) "I... I'm just joking, why take it so seriously? Instinct... instinct, ha!"
"Speaking of the worst-case scenario, how long can the current starry sky situation last?"
Watch me use the topic-shifting technique!
Jiangnan said with annoyance: (◦`~´◦) "No one can say for sure. Actually, the situation has already been precarious. If I hadn't tried my best to drag things back into an eerie balance, the second ring wouldn't have even finished, and the fight would have started on the spot!"
"But that would have been bad for the Carbon Alliance. The current strategy is to drag it out as long as possible! The longer we drag it out, the more time the Carbon Alliance has to prepare for the impact!"
"It would be best if we could hold out until the third ring is over, but I'm not confident. That look Qianli gave me before he left—it gave me a very bad feeling..."
Chong Qianjin was startled:
Σ(°△°|||) "Sss—could that old guy Xun Zu really have broken through to the Cosmos Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Black God let out a snort of disdain!
"You think breaking through to the Cosmos Realm is that easy? Even Qingjie Dazun never truly ascended to the Cosmos Realm, because he never fully completed the shaping of his Cosmos World!"
"Perfecting and creating a world is a long process! From the intensity of Xun Zu's last attack, he hasn't even reached the step of beginning to perfect his world!"
"He should not have created his own world yet. Even if he takes another step, it would only be creating a small world!"
"But even so, that counts as taking half a step. Beating you guys would still be easy..."
Everyone's faces turned pale. What Black God said was absolutely credible!
If that old man Xun Zu really created his small world, wouldn't there be another Qingjie Dazun in the starry sky?
Th... who the hell could stop that?
When considering things, one naturally has to prepare for the worst outcome!
But this outcome is just too despairing!
For a moment, everyone lowered their heads and said nothing.
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow:
(๑◔～◔ิ) "To be honest, don't you big races have any ace-in-the-hole ancestors, some ridiculously powerful experts who haven't come out of seclusion?"
"Or anyone who has reached the peak of Star Devourer and has a chance to break through to the Cosmos Realm? If so, cough them up, and let's all think of a way together!"
Manti's mouth twitched. Listening to him, it sounds like ancestors are as common as cabbages at the market?
Noah said with a dark face: (̿▀̿益▀̿̿٥)̄ "Ancestors? Do I look like one?"
Manti's mouth twitched again:
(￢﹏￢٥) "Actually... we are already at the ancestor level..."
Bannimei sighed and said: "The Star Devourer-level spokespersons each race has put forward, like me, Noah, and Manti, are not the strongest Star Devourers in our clans. The strongest are others!"
"But even so, the strongest wouldn't be that much stronger, let alone touching the threshold of Cosmos..."
"The energy accumulation and cultivation methods at the Star Devourer level are beyond your imagination!"
"Qianli is very strong, already at the peak of Star Devourer. But that old man was born in the early days of the Thousand Stars Era, with over two billion years of accumulation to reach that level!"
"Our clan's strongest Star Devourers can't compare to them!"
Black God said meaningfully: "I told you, the Star Devourers of this era are still far off~"
"And not everyone has the potential for Cosmos. Creating a small world—ask Chong Qianjin or Bannimei if they have any clue?"
"Manti's path might have a higher chance, and the Dark Cosmos Entity might have a little chance too, but they're still far off!"
Everyone sighed again. Not to mention the Silicon-based, just Xun Zu alone was a mountain pressing down on everyone's heads!
Just then, Qingnong spoke up:
(◞°ー°)ﾂ "May I ask a bold question? Humans do have the Wisdom Sect terminal, right? Since the Silicon-based want it so badly..."
"Could there be weapons of the Final Star Weapon level inside? Since the Carbon Alliance has no one who can defeat Xun Zu, what about weapons like the Silicon-based have?"
"If the Carbon Alliance could have a Final Star Weapon, that would at least give us deterrent power at the ceiling level. It would be useful, right?"
Upon hearing this, Noah and Manti perked up!
For this terminal, they had taken several big slaps!
And it was precisely because of this that they resolutely joined the Carbon Alliance!
What Qingnong said made sense!
If the Carbon Alliance could have a weapon of the Final Star Weapon level, their confidence would be bolstered!
While Manti was excited, she also shot a disgusted glance at Wenge!
(͡⚆益͡⚆ꐦ)
Damn it. Olivia hitting me was one thing—I owed her that from back in the day!
But you had to join in too?
Just wait till I get back—I'll make sure to give you a rough time!
Wenge was confused. Why is she looking at me like that? Have I ever done anything to wrong her?
Noah said excitedly:
(งᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌)ง "Jiangnan! Give us the inside scoop! What exactly is in the terminal? Last time, you just showed us a glimpse, didn't say anything, and we all got slapped. You're way too stingy!"
"Is there a method to manufacture Final Star Weapons inside?"
Jiangnan spread his hands: ʅ(･´～･｀)ʃ "There is... but what's there to be excited about? All we can do is look, quench our thirst from a distance. Those Final Star Weapons..."
Noah glared: "What good is just looking? Make them! Make a bunch!"
Manti was anxious: "You're sitting on a treasure mountain and don't know how to use it! If the Carbon Alliance had Final Star Weapons, the situation would immediately be different, you know?"
Upon hearing this, everyone else became eager. They had all witnessed the power of Final Star Weapons!
Jiangnan said with a look of helplessness: (≖_≖) "Do you think I'm stupid? If I could make them, I would have done it long ago! Final Star Weapons are the highest technological crystallization of the Silicon-based. They require an extremely strong technological and industrial foundation, a perfect supply system!"
"Moreover, the manufacturing of each Final Star Weapon consumes a vast amount of resources. Even if I squeezed humans dry ten times and pawned our underwear, we couldn't produce a single one!"
"Forget about stuff like 'Tianzhu', 'Shenzang', 'Guixu'—don't even think about it. That 'Disaster Scepter' is also out of the question!"
"Not to mention Giant God Soldiers or anything like that..."
Upon hearing this, Noah and the others got even more excited!
Holy crap! There's even a whole set? They sound incredibly powerful! The Disaster Scepter? Such a complete variety?
They can even make Giant God Soldiers?
Those are weapons that can match Star Devourer-level combat power!
Noah glared: (〝▼口▼)ゞ "What do you mean, not enough resources? How did the Silicon-based make them? We're all under the same starry sky!"
"If the Silicon-based can get resources, so can we! The Carbon Alliance has over two thousand races. I won't boast too much, but at least a third of the total resources in the starry sky are in our hands!"
"Those with money contribute money, those without money contribute people, those without people or money contribute technology! If the Carbon Alliance works together and crowdfunds, can't we scrape together a few Final Star Weapons?"
"We must make them! Absolutely make them! Even if we have to sell everything, we'll make them! The role Final Star Weapons can play is too great. If we can have them, we must get them! The sooner the better!"
Jiangnan's mouth dropped open:
∑(°口°๑) "Crowdfunding, huh..."
