Chapter 723 - 687: The Divine Race Arrives
Soon, the seven Headquarter Governors of the Spirit Race’s upper echelons appeared.
"Xu Yi, long time no see." The Spirit God was genuinely delighted upon seeing Xu Yi.
For the Spirit God, the past nine months had not been an easy time.
This was because the warships of the Maro Civilization appeared in this Star Realm, seemingly searching for the fleet they exterminated before.
If the Maros discovered Spirit Blue Star and Spiritual Star, it would inevitably attract the Divine Race.
After all, the Divine Race is scouring the cosmos for planets with Spiritual Energy. If the Maros report Spirit Blue Star and Spiritual Star, they will receive rewards from the Divine Race.
Swallowing it privately?
Being a vassal of the Divine Race, doing so would lead to annihilation.
In the past, it wasn’t unheard of, but those who attempted were exterminated by the Divine Race, so no one dared to do it thereafter.
Therefore, if the Maros discover them, they’ll undoubtedly report it.
Whether the Divine Race would follow up is another matter.
It could result in those two planets being directly rewarded to the Maro Civilization.
Such cases are not impossible, and there are many precedents.
Due to the Maros’ presence, the Spirit Race devised numerous ways to divert them, to prevent the exposure of Spirit Blue Star and Spiritual Star.
Eventually, the Spirit Race managed to lure the Maros away, but they paid a significant price for it.
So, upon their arrival, the Spirit God immediately informed Xu Yi of these matters.
Previously, the Spirit Race had no time to communicate this with the people of Yi Sect as everyone was mobilized, leaving no time for human contact.
Moreover, with humanity’s current technological level being too low, informing them would not allow humans to participate in any meaningful way. Therefore, discussing this with humans was pointless.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work. It is your unyielding efforts that bring peace to humanity. So, in the next distribution of Energy Pearls, we will forgo our share as a small contribution." Xu Yi addressed the Spirit Race present.
Currently, among the seven of them, only the Spirit God had broken through to level 20.
Evidently, the Spirit Race had been unable to cultivate properly during this period, thus lagging in strength growth.
"Thank you very much." The Spirit God thanked without pretense.
The current Spirit Race indeed needed more experts to have more confidence when facing the Divine Race in the future.
"Xu Yi, you’ve had contact with the Pan Race’s array. Is there a way to replicate it to hide our two planets?" The Spirit God believed this strategy was the best solution.
"Replicating it isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible." Xu Yi had considered it before, but his strength was previously insufficient, so he couldn’t set it up.
He had seven small arrays from the Pan Race. These small arrays were one of the four items Xu Yi acquired from the Dimensional Space.
Though unable to conceal a planet like Jialan Star, hiding planets poses no significant challenge.
In fact, there are quite a few planets hidden by the Pan Race’s small arrays in this cosmos.
However, finding them isn’t easy; at least reaching the 7th level of the Pan God Technique is required.
By the 7th level, Xu Yi’s realm should break through to level 50.
A Divine Master at level 50 would have the strength to begin challenging the Divine Race.
After all, not everyone in the Divine Race is at the peak of level 55.
"Really? That would be great. With the Pan Race’s array, we wouldn’t need to worry about the Maros finding us," Ling Qi said joyously, feeling that the Maros might return someday.
"This requires a level 30 Brain Crystal, so I need some time before I can start setting it up." Currently, Xu Yi could kill level 28 Fierce Beasts, but level 30 was indeed beyond him.
"Moreover, while this small array may deceive the Maro Civilization, deceiving a Divine Master above level 45 is challenging," Xu Yi hadn’t initially thought of using this array, mainly because it had no effect on the Divine Race.
Unless one could possess the large array of Jialan Star.
But, that large array is unique, and setting it up is unrealistic.
The Pan Race’s large array is akin to advanced equipment exclusive to the Spirit Race; you need the equipment to set it up.
Without it, you can’t create an array out of thin air.
"A level 30 Brain Crystal?" Ling Qi was astounded, still being at level 19. A level 30 Brain Crystal is required to set up this array, and Xu Yi claimed that given some time, he could set it up. Doesn’t that mean Xu Yi will soon be able to hunt level 30 Fierce Beasts?
Xu Yi has become so formidable?
It was a blow, a tremendous blow.
Over these more than nine months, the Spirit Race had been preoccupied with the Maro Civilization issue.
Yet, they didn’t entirely abstain from cultivation.
They continued their cultivation and even learned the Supreme Scripture.
Could such a significant gap truly exist?
In this case, how should the Spirit Race position themselves?
"Xu Yi, what level are you at now?" The Spirit God was equally bewildered and frustrated, as she was only at level 20 while Xu Yi was ready to hunt level 30 Fierce Beasts.
The disparity in strength was immense, perhaps too much so.
If this continues, wouldn’t humanity completely surpass the Spirit Race?
"Level 26," Xu Yi answered directly, with no intention of hiding anything.
