Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

This evening, Li Yao and his friends had a small canned banquet at the Blue Sky Market - not just for Li Yao, but for each other.

As the situation on the front line changed, an updated order was issued from the commands of the Allied Coalition Forces of the Four Major Electoral Emperors demanding that the "loyal National Army” be withdrawn in advance to block an important route for the Universal Chamber of Commerce.

So, Li Yao and Boss Bai's fleet are leaving together tomorrow for their respective battlefields.

They were all kinds of cans, but they were enjoying each other, and halfway through the dinner, the champion came - with a bun of egg noodles filled with an insulated bucket.

Ultimately, with his dehumanizing, ruthless, steel-like gaze, this barrel of noodles was stolen and eaten by Li Yao and Boss Bai.

The champion looks angry again.

This little interlude does not affect the atmosphere of farewell, where everyone stays up all night talking about the upcoming battle and the dramatic changes that will take place in the center of the star sea in the near future.

Until the eastern part of the artificial dome was infused with an intense red colour, Li Yao finally took pleasure in boarding the ultra-small starship commonly known as the Shuttle and slowly left the port.

At the time of their departure, the United Fleet of Arsonists, dressed in the coat of the "Loyal Salvation Army”, was also ready to be assembled. A superstarship, reinforced by Li Yao, Boss Bai, the boxing champion, Xiaoming and Wen Wen Wen, rose in the air and erupted into a bright red tail flame, converging into a flood of colors.

At the moment, the name of this fleet is limited to only a handful of people in the Blue Sky Market who know, oh, and perhaps a handful of people in the Starry Sea, Starry Federation.

But it is believed that in the near future, it will rise to the center of the star sea in an incredibly powerful way, burning that sparkling flame across the entire pan-American universe.

And Li Yao, on another battlefield, as another world shocker, will appear magnificent!

“Good luck. ”

The shuttle was about to split, and Boss Bai's blessing came from the communication channel, "Li Yao, you lack nothing. Sometimes you just lack a little good luck. I hope this time, a smooth sail. ”

“Absolutely. ”

Li Yao grinned and replied, “We are going to rush out of the ancient universe, people who are excited about billions of stars, small scenes like the Empire, what exactly - can you count! ”

……

Half a month later, in a desolate star area not far from the headquarters of the Universal Chamber of Commerce, Seven Seas Market, countless starship wreckages formed a vast flood of garbage, like a cosmic highway made up of rubble star belts.

This is the naked star sea lane - the closest distance from one optimal jump point to the next.

Though theoretically, hyper-remote star jumping can transfer a ship from any point in the ocean to another point.

But not only does this jump impose a very high degree of precision on the star sea jumping unit on board the ship, but it also imposes a very high level of strength on the passenger's body and even on the divine soul strength, as well as astronomical numbers for fuel consumption.

Sometimes it's not even a matter of how much fuel, but rather of injecting a huge amount of ultra-high purity, extremely precious, special hybrid fuel into Starsea Jumping Treasure in order to open ultra-range star jumps across hundreds of thousands of worlds.

Such special fuels, as well as raw materials made into special fuels - those extremely rare crystal cords and celestial treasures - are often monopolized by nobility and the military, and only elite warships are eligible for use.

For ordinary merchant ships and carriers, they cannot afford to consume that much fuel, and passengers' weak bodies are often unable to cope with the damage caused by prolonged decomposition into four-dimensional states.

So they can only jump from a thousand worlds to a nearby thousand, and slowly reach their destination with this "frog jump” approach.

And in order to save fuel, you have to look for the most unstable three-dimensional structure in a thousand worlds, the most susceptible place to tear apart wormholes and even natural wormholes, which is the jump point marked on the star map.

Not necessarily the shortest line from one jump point to the next.

Using the gravity of planets and even stars is like being thrown out of space slingshots one at a time, greatly increasing speed.

Terrorist areas between a number of jumping points with frequent star storms and meteorite debris, including debris from human warfare activities, have the potential to take a fatal toll on merchant ships.

In order to take advantage of the gravity of stars and planets and avoid these dangerous zones, the course between the jump points becomes an intricate curve, and only an experienced old captain can follow the course with complete precision and reach a perfect compromise in terms of time, safety and fuel consumption.

Fighting between the Quad and the Universal Chamber of Commerce often revolves around interception, passage, escort and ambush of shipping lanes.

Over the past two or three months, the sub-fleets of both sides have broken out thousands of short but brutal clashes on various shipping lanes, countless starships have sunk in the sand, countless ordinary people and immortals have buried in the cold sea of stars, and countless precious cargoes have become trash scattered over the shipping lanes - like the debris floating in front of them.

After three months of intense fighting, the shipping lanes surrounding the Seven Seas market were cut off by almost 50 per cent.

But with the remaining half of the channel, the number of merchants travelling has multiplied several times, showing a deformed prosperity.

There is no way, the war is fierce, but life must continue. As the headquarters of the Universal Chamber of Commerce, the "Seven Seas Star Area”, where the Seven Seas market is located, is originally the most stable, rich jumping point, and the most extensive commercial and logistics center on the periphery of the Empire. In a certain way, it possesses characteristics similar to those of the Empire's "extreme celestial realm, celestial star”.

The goods of millions of worlds and resource planets have to be transported through the Seven Seas to reach the thousands of worlds in need.

These goods are either much-needed fertilizers for cultivation, core filtration units for water purification systems or air purification systems, or special effects to kill a plague - in short, essential for all the towns and cities of the Great Thousand Worlds, Resource Planets and the Stars and Seas.

Without these goods, the entire town, the entire planet and the entire world would be in crisis, so even if the fires burned again, people would have to take risks, cross the war zone and make deals in the Seven Seas market.

At this moment, there is a fleet of more than a dozen fractured, semi-armed merchant ships sailing carefully on a corridor full of debris.

Many wrecks still have extremely high temperatures, and even some pharmacopoeia units deep in the wreckage react violently, from time to time popping up a brick of colorful light, staring at this tiny fleet like a deformed skull.

These wreckages were the product of a fierce war some time ago.

This suggests that this channel is most likely a crisis-ridden front, with a fleet of four large families, a fleet of the Universal Chamber of Commerce, or a fierce and vicious star thief… All sorts of Jackal tiger leopards lay in the dark star sea, ready to take a bite out of the opportunity.

Even now, there are a lot of deep eyes on this little merchant team, just because they are too blind and too sour to waste fuel and ammunition to plunder them.

This perception makes the voyage of the merchants more fearful and discreet.

At the end of the team, a merchant ship that looked centuries-old, rusty, fat and stupid, with a silly black bear sprayed on its bow, and the name of the merchant ship below it, the Bear.

This is not a long-distance spacecraft, it is only suitable for crossing and connecting to and from the next thousand worlds.

In order to accommodate the "frog jump" of many star jumps, the owner of the Bear painfully retrofitted it and stacked a number of patches on the upper shell, making it look even more swollen and clumsy - just like the dozen merchant ships in front.

Though seemingly withdrawn, more than a dozen merchant ships, from a thousand different worlds, belonging to a few isolated small merchants, only happened to meet at the last supply port to accompany each other and be bold to each other.

Although more than a dozen merchant ships have been gathered together and indeed have been plundered by battleships, at least some psychological… illusory comfort can be brought about.

Ho Dongling doesn't like this strange star sea outside at all.

Although her father was the owner and captain of the Bear, she grew up playing on the Bear and often sailed with her father, so much so that she thought she was the true "Star Sea Child”.

But in the past, they used to wander around their hometown, traveling to and from the calm, not too dangerous, every star was so familiar with the sea of stars. Every time they went to the supply port, they had old friends and brothers of their dads to pick up the wind, and gave her all kinds of strange fruits and toys, and they could go home in less than ten and a half days - that's what Ho Dong Ling used to sail for.

But this is different. This is so different.

Ho Dongling and the Bear had never sailed this far, crossed unfamiliar stars, saw distorted wreckages, even heard stinging warnings several times, had to escape with all the fuel they could, the Bear had never been so weak, and Dad's face had never been so gloomy.

Ho Dongling even heard his father's dreams of panic and panic between half-sleep and half-awake several times - this is his father who is as strong as a tower and fearless in the face of a storm in the stars and sea!

The familiar star sea has become so strange, so gloomy, so cold and so dangerous that Ho Wing Ling made a mistake in the trance - whether they sailed in the star sea or, unknowingly, entered the blood basin of a giant beast, about to be completely eroded by the infinite darkness?
