Chapter 1372 Potential Danger (please vote for the third update)
When Qu Jianlei's fleet rushed into the energy group near the gap, the three starships were already scarred.
Among them, the Tres Merchant Ship was the worst. It had been beaten to pieces and was just trying to hold on.
It was originally damaged and was hastily repaired, but in the end its value was reduced.
When breaking through the blockade, it first served as a rear guard, and then rushed to the front to withstand artillery fire for everyone.
The Jinyang Merchant Ship was slightly better. Except for the two weapon launch ports that were destroyed, the rest suffered superficial injuries.
Although it looks miserable, at least the main structure is not affected.
The regiment-level ship suffered the least damage. Although it was the largest, it also had the strongest defense.
After entering the energy group, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, even Hill was no exception.
The energy chaos zone is not safe either, but it is much less dangerous than breaking through the blockade.
As for whether there will be killers arranged by the federation here? Qu Jianlei does not rule out this possibility.
But obviously, if there are relevant arrangements, the cost will definitely not be as high as usual.
Therefore, Qu Jianlei did not think that such an attack would fall on him - that should be a battle-level preparation.
But Hill was worried about something else, "Boss, can you transfer all the federal soldiers on the Tres ship to the regiment-level ship?"
"The Tres ship is not as miserable as you think," Qu Jianlei replied casually. Those were all deliberately created by Xiaohu.
"But forget it, let's arrange for them to come back."
In addition to caring about the life and death of his comrades, Hill also cared about something else, "You just broke through the blockade?"
Although he has never been to the front line, he really doesn't have much information.
This blockade area is said to be able to stop the empire's 100,000 starships!
Now the opponent actually broke through forcefully, with only three starships.
Hill didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. It was good to survive, but the federal defense was really speechless!
Although it is in a turbulent energy flow, the transfer of personnel is still very convenient.
The gangway of the regiment-class ship is extremely strong, and full consideration was taken from the beginning of the design to ensure safe response and evacuation during battle.
Others were responsible for the response, so Qu Jianlei didn't need to worry about it. He finally raised the issue he was most concerned about.
"We have noticed that the Federation has an abnormal supremacy that may bring great hidden dangers to human society."
Hearing this, Hill's face changed slightly, "So... you also noticed it?"
"It's not that we noticed it," Qu Jianlei said expressionlessly, "but... that's heresy!"
"This..." A trace of struggle appeared on Hill's face, "It is said that there is a hidden secret in this matter."
This matter is even more secretive than the battle formation. There are really not many people in the Federation who can explain this matter clearly.
It is said that it also came from interstellar exploration, and someone discovered the old training place of the divine cultivators.
These places generally have protective covers and are not suitable for attacks by technological weapons.
The discoverer went back and invited many experts, and then asked a supreme leader to participate.
Because he wasn't sure what was inside, and he didn't want to test human nature.
Of course, if the treasure inside is interested in the Supreme Being, he will definitely give it up, and it is really not a loss.
It is difficult for ordinary people to invite the Supreme Being, but of course it is an exception if it involves the relics of divine cultivators.
Anyway, no one in Qu Jianlei's team would refuse such an invitation.
Even Xizhao is no exception - in the world of cultivators, the caves of cultivators are nothing, but this is different.
The harvest in the cave was not small. Needless to say the details, the Supreme Being did not participate in the looting.
Anyway, he protected everyone, and when the final settlement was made, no one dared to lose his share.
However, in the end, everyone opened an underground secret room, thinking that there was a treasure inside.
Unexpectedly, there was an object that looked like a scale sealed inside. The scale melted in the wind and shattered into a pile of powder.
The supreme leader who dominated the formation immediately let out a howl, then lost his mind, killing and injuring many people.
However, although he is not conscious, he either kills people on sight or is simply insane.
Later, when he regained consciousness by chance, he warned others to leave quickly.
Since then, the Supreme Being has occupied that cave.
Later, the government sent people to investigate, and his men also rushed there to build a new place for him to live.
As for what exactly happened that time, the Supreme Being did not say anything, and others did not dare to ask.
Two hundred years later, the Supreme Being passed away. Logically speaking, he should not have died so early.
He left his last words and designated them to be handed over to the government, but the government never made them public.
Hill didn't know what the last words were - not even his wife's grandfather knew them.
However, the government still gave a partial interpretation, saying that the Supreme Being was possessed by an evil spirit that day.
In the end, he relied on his strong willpower to suppress the evil demon and refine the opponent's spirit.
But that evil demon does not exist in this world. While suppressing the opponent, the Supreme Being was also assimilated and was no longer tolerated in this world.
So he had to leave the world he loved.
The Supreme Being obtained part of the opponent's memory and knew that the evil demon was originally temporarily sealed by practitioners of the divine system.
I just don’t know why, but the cultivator of the divine arts department never came back.
The Supreme Being claimed that the evil demon's cultivation level was higher than his, but it was only because of the long-term seal that his strength had declined that he could compete.
However, if people from the Federation hadn't broken in, the evil spirit would have ceased to exist in another hundred or eighty thousand years.
In addition, he found a way to quickly advance to the highest level from the demon's memory.
However, this is the cultivation system from the evil demon itself, not to mention that it does not belong to the system of the awakened, it does not even belong to this world.
Although this path is not normal, at first the divine cultivators only sealed evil spirits and wanted to explore this method.
Divine cultivators believe that this method of "authority" is somewhat similar to an "edict".
They all steal the rules of heaven and earth and use them for their own purposes.
This supreme being is really awesome, and in the end, he suddenly created a set of "authority" for the awakened person system!
However, he also said that this is just his idea, which has not been verified, is immature, and may also have great hidden dangers.
However, despite this reminder, the Federation's enthusiasm for the divine system is no worse than that of the Empire.
Moreover, this is a deduction from the highest level. This person also managed to kill the remaining soul of the evil demon. Who dares to underestimate him?
From the beginning, the Federation also strictly prohibited other people from studying it - unless they were the Supreme Beings whose life spans were already high.
When one reaches the peak of his lifespan, he naturally has the desire to fight. Eight supreme masters have had problems practicing this technique.
When he reached the ninth highest place, he originally thought he would definitely die and just wanted to record some gains. Unexpectedly, he advanced!
But later, no matter how everyone changed it, the death rate remained high.
Moreover, when some people advance to the supreme level, they may run the risk of losing control, so for the Federation, this is a double-edged sword.
According to common sense, if the supreme master reaches his twilight years and there is no hope of advancement, he can try to gain power.
It's good if it works, but it's a life if it doesn't work.
But the consequences of losing control are too terrible, and the Federation also intends to use this to restrict the Supreme's behavior and has set quite a few preconditions.
But then again, this is not a sure way to succeed. The key is that the mortality rate is extremely high!
You must know that if the A-level impact fails, it will usually only affect the cultivation level, and the probability of death is extremely low.
If there were not those prerequisites, the old supremes would be willing to take a gamble.
But with those constraints and the need to accumulate contributions, many supreme beings lose interest.
——Isn’t the goal of cultivating to the highest level just for the sake of gratification?
Since there are such restrictions, is it okay for labor and management not to practice this method?
Hill has a rough statistic in his hand. About 90% of the people will not choose to try to practice the secret technique of authority.
More than 50% of them did not end their lives - the Supreme Being is indeed very powerful, but the probability of participating in high-risk missions is also high.
Many of those supreme beings who died of old age did not think about cultivating authority until their final day came, but it was already too late.
Qu Jianlei smiled silently, then shook his head, "It is indeed authority... You are really not afraid of anything!"
Hill felt that there was no way to answer this because he had no idea what the other person was talking about.
But coincidentally, he could more or less sense the general meaning, and his heart kept sinking.
"We know there is potential danger, but is this danger... big?"
"The original danger... I don't know," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I don't even know what the evil spirit is."
"But the secondary danger is enough to be fatal. Do you really think that the 'order' was just mentioned casually?"
"Those divine cultivators who are related to the edict learn that you are using it fraudulently. I would like to ask... do you know the fate of heretics?"
This is the second time he has mentioned "heresy", and it is self-evident what he emphasizes.
Hill's eyes lit up, "Heretics must be judged by someone... Will they return?"
Regardless of the empire, federation or alliance, the research on the divine system is very crazy.
But if they were to face practitioners of the divine system, it would be hard to predict. There would be a high probability that something would happen.
But Hill is different. He has quite a favorable impression of practitioners of the divine system.
Especially since the Federation is now facing the invasion of star beasts, the practitioners of the divine system are at least human beings, right?
No wonder he was so overjoyed.
However, Qu Jianlei looked at him indifferently, "Even if no one judges them, this world will judge them."
The smile suddenly stopped on Hill's face...
The regiment-level ship grabbed the two starships and drove quickly through the passage. It took four days to finally get out of the passage.
In the energy chaos zone on the empire side, Qu Jianlei walked out of the hatch and released Ship 1314.
Then he boarded the ship with nutritional supplements and flower scorpions, and sailed out first.
After going through all kinds of hardships and coming back, if someone accidentally hurts me... it will be a lot of fun.
(Third update, I just finished writing the return volume. I don’t want to postpone it until tomorrow. There are only twenty-nine days in this month. The monthly tickets are a bit low at the moment. Please ask for monthly tickets for more updates.)
