Chapter 824 Die!
Everyone returned to their rooms in silence.
There was no use in worrying. Back in the room, Ying Ying physically manifested herself.
Full of hope, Lu Ze eagerly looked at her. “Ying Ying, can you travel faster than the s.h.i.+p?”
Ying Ying blinked as she thought about it. “To return home?”
Lu Ze nodded.
Nangong Jing and the rest of the girls also looked over hopefully.
Ying Ying pondered for a little while and soon responded, “Mhm… I can reach home in a few minutes.”
Lu Ze and the girls: “???”
Lu Ze opened his mouth to ask with uncertainty, “H-how long did you say it would take to reach the Milky Way?”
Ying Ying repeated, “A few minutes.”
‘Sorry, it was my mistake to severely underestimate a cosmic realm state!’
The distance between their current location and the Milky Way covered about 20 million light-years.
Nangong Jing and the girls also looked at Ying Ying in disbelief.
Lu Ze quickly said, “Ying Ying, can you bring the s.h.i.+p back too?”
Ying Ying nodded. “Yes, I can.”
Her eyes then glowed with starlight. Immediately, the s.h.i.+p was enveloped by the very same light. The distorted warp dimension seemed to have been clutched by an invisible hand.
The s.p.a.ce exhibited even more distortions in the end.
The group gawked at Ying Ying. They didn’t feel anything at all.
However, upon seeing the seriousness on Ying Ying’s face, they chose to leave her be.
After three minutes, the starlight faded away. As her eyes fluttered, a hint of pride can be seen. “We’re home!”
Lu Ze and the team immediately rejoiced.
Nangong Jing and the rest hugged Ying Ying, rubbing against her at the same time.
“Ying Ying, you greatly helped us again!” “Thank you, Ying Ying.” Although they couldn’t actually confirm what the situation was outside, they had full faith in Ying Ying
Ying Ying’s little arms flailed helplessly.
…
In the c.o.c.kpit, the planetary state human pilots ended up dazed as they suddenly heard a notification.
They looked at the s.p.a.ce marker. According to it, they were already near the Milky Way.
The person in charge attempted to rub his eyes and take another look so as to check whether he saw it correctly.
Indeed, they were within the vicinity of the Milky Way.
“?!?!”
He exclaimed, “Come over quickly! Did some error happen to the s.h.i.+p? It’s only been a few minutes, but why does the marker show we’re near the Milky Way?!”
The others heard it and went over right away.
They checked the marker, and sure enough, they weren’t far off from the Milky Way. One person frowned. “Check the situation and notify Lord Jinyao!”
The other pilot nodded and left accordingly.
Elder Nangong frowned. His chi became unstable.
He felt very worried. It was the insectoids after all. They were one of the most terrifying catastrophes to encounter in the universe.
If something happened to the Federation without him present, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
He sighed.
At this moment, someone knocked on his door.
When Elder Nangong opened it, he saw a seemingly nervous pilot opposite him. The pilot immediately relayed, “Not good, Lord Jinyao! The s.h.i.+ps seemed to be faulty!”
Elder Nangong was taken aback and then looked at the pilot anxiously. “What’s going on?!”
The pilot trembled while facing the cosmic system state pressure. “The location marker shows we’re near the Milky Way, but we’ve only been on the air for a few minutes.”
Elder Nangong was stunned. Within seconds, a possibility suddenly dawned on him. He quickly said, “I see. Go back to the pilot room. I’ll come over immediately.”
Thereafter, Elder Nangong disappeared from the spot.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of Lu Ze’s room.
The group had finally recovered from their shock.
Lu Ze went to open the door. He saw Elder Nangong standing outside with a serious expression. Elder Nangong asked straight up, “Ze, did Ying Ying bring the s.h.i.+p back to the Milky Way?”
Lu Ze quickly nodded. “Yes, Elder, I was just about to inform you about it.”
Elder Nangong was greatly relieved. His anxiety settled down.
Following such, his voice echoed throughout the s.h.i.+p, “The s.h.i.+p has arrived near the Milky Way. Everyone, come out!” Man Dali, Doris, and Qiu Lun had their own troubles in their respective rooms.
When they heard the transmission, they felt dumbfounded.
They even wondered whether it was merely a hallucination brought about by worrying excessively.
‘It had only been a few minutes, so how could they be near the Milky Way galaxy?’
Despite the doubts, they still left their rooms.
The human pilots looked at each other.
‘Were they really in the Milky Way?!’
‘There wasn’t anything wrong with the device?’
‘How could it be?’
They began to doubt life.
In the foyer, Elder Nangong, the star states, as well as Lu Ze’s group were all present.
Soon, everyone gathered.
Man Dali asked desperately, “Nangong, what did you just say?”
Elder Nangong was quite relaxed now and gave a rea.s.suring smile. “We’re in the Milky Way.”
Man Dali, Doris, and Qiu Lun looked at each other. Their faces were spooked.
Zuoqiu Xunshuang and the rest who knew about Ying Ying still felt quite shocked.
They had no good grasp of how strong cosmic realm states really were.
This made them turn their heads to Lu Ze’s group.
Elder Nangong continued explaining, “Lu Ze’s master brought us over.”
They still needed to provide an explanation for the sudden leap in distance.
Luckily, they already had established a backstory for Ying Ying. Man Dali, Doris and Qiu Lun: “!!!”
The three stared at Lu Ze in shock.
They thought Lu Ze’s Master was just a cosmic cloud state.
Looking at this…
‘No way it was merely a cosmic cloud state!’
‘Which cosmic cloud state could fly tens of millions of light-years in just a few minutes?’ This power was probably rather terrifying even among cosmic realm states.
Their skins crawled.
They had no idea Lu Ze’s master was this fearsome!
The other three races looked at Lu Ze in shock. The eyes of Man Kun and his companions were green with envy.
That was a cosmic realm state master! This guy was already talented, and yet, he was also blessed with a tyrannical master.
Sooner or later, he was going to become invincible.
They felt only the princess of the Elf Race would have the same privilege.
At this time, the warp dimension flashed, and they entered s.p.a.ce again. Immediately, everyone’s faces tensed.
The border of the Milky Way was flas.h.i.+ng with successive explosions.
Terrifying battles swept the s.p.a.ce.
They even felt a familiar chi that seemed feeble right at this very moment.
Lin Ling’s face went pale.
Lu Ze frowned and used s.p.a.ce G.o.d art to leave.
Lin Yan was being attacked by three star states. His armor was broken, and his sword was broken.
He was even covered in wounds.
Despite his poor state, he still sent a death state to the opposing star states.
He knew that if he failed, the defensive line would be broken. All the border planets would surely be destroyed.
He could only hope that other star states would make it in time.
Lin Yan knew he couldn’t hold on much longer.
Suddenly, a memory of a certain beautiful woman flashed in his mind.
‘Perhaps dying here was not a bad choice?’
‘Hiss!!!’
The star states rushed towards him again.
Lin Yan’s eyes sharpened as his chi surged.
He charged at them once more.
Right then, there was a distortion in the s.p.a.ce. A black figure appeared next to a star state insectoid.
Golden light flashed as a cold voice exclaimed, “Die!”
