Chapter 510– The World of Soul Beasts
TL : GoldenLung
These large soul beasts that were used to ride seemed very docile. Everyone had been in soul vehicles many times, but this was the first time they were riding a soul beast.
There weren’t any roads on the Elven Planet, and a soul car obviously wouldn’t work here, but the soul beasts could walk on flat ground.
The surroundings were filled with towering trees, and from the bottom to the top, it was almost completely covered in green. The air was filled with the fragrance of plants, and the temperature was suitable. From the side of the trees, one could often see a winding stream flowing past. The clear stream brought about moist air, and it was comfortable and warm.
“This place is simply like a paradise! It’s too beautiful,” Lan Xuanyu praised from the bottom of his heart. He truly liked this world with rich life energy.
He felt that if he cultivated here, it wouldn’t be inferior to the Mother Planet.
Xiao Qi said, “It is precisely because of the beautiful environment here that the Federation didn’t have the heart to destroy it back then. The Elven race also loves peace, which is why they were able to resolve the matter of cooperation peacefully. The reason why the soul beasts are residing here is also because they love such an environment. They are more suited than us humans coming here, as when we come, we will definitely have to build construction and there we will bring destruction to the environment. So, maintaining the current state of the planet as it is has been one of the smartest choices that I think the Federation made.”
Lan Xuanyu asked curiously, “Teacher, can the Elven race and soul beasts coexist peacefully? After all, soul beasts are outsiders.”
Xiao Qi said, “It is naturally very difficult to live in complete harmony, but the Federation is there to watch over the situation. The Federation has its own people overseeing this place, and if there is a conflict between the two parties, the Federation will partic.i.p.ate in the arbitration to determine which party is to blame. But relatively speaking, it is still better for both parties to be autonomous and have their own districts. Their boundaries are set clearly so that they will not invade each other.”
At this point, Xiao Qi narrowed his eyes and said, “Actually, planets like the Elven Planet are the easiest to be coveted in the universe. They have to choose a force to attach themselves to. In fact, we weren’t the only ones who had designs on them. We accepted them and took on the responsibility of protecting the Elven Planet.”
Lan Xuanyu was stunned. “Protect them? Does this planet have other enemies ? From the universe?”
Xiao Qi smiled indifferently. “The universe is vast and boundless, so there are naturally many places with life forms. The Federation just doesn’t publicize this to prevent ordinary citizens from being too concerned. But in fact, it’s not that simple to colonize s.p.a.ce. There will be collisions with the aboriginals and some forces in the universe. Why would the Planet of Sin exist otherwise ? If it was just an individual, it would have been destroyed by the Federation. In fact, it was because of the support of the forces behind it that it managed to restrain us all this time.”
Lan Xuanyu was completely shocked. In his knowledge, there was only the Federation, but he didn’t know that there were enemies outside the Federation. And from the sound of it, they were relatively strong enemies.
“Where did these enemies come from, Teacher?” Lan Xuanyu asked.
Xiao Qi said, “This is complicated. All of you are still young and there is no need to be aware of so much. But with your performance, it will not be a problem for you to be promoted in the future. When you reach your fourth-year, you will begin to face all these. At that time, the academy will give you a more thorough explanation.”
Lan Xuanyu suddenly felt nervous. So the Federation wasn’t as peaceful as it seemed!
Xiao Qi sighed. “Strong individuals and s.p.a.ce fleets of the Federation have always been protecting us, but this is not told to the outside world. Who knows how many heroes were born because of this. But for the stability of the Federation, it cannot be publicized. So, most people only know that we live in a peaceful and rich environment, but they don’t know that the Federation has always been protecting us during the colonization process.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “Then is our Federation considered strong in the universe?”
Xiao Qi shook his head and said, “I don’t know. The universe is too vast, who would dare to say that one is the strongest in the universe? But at least until now, we haven’t encountered any strong enemies that are enough to threaten us. But as the Federation continues to colonize s.p.a.ce and becomes stronger, it is very hard to predict what will happen in the future. But based on our current understanding of the universe, there will definitely be a strong force somewhere in the universe that isn’t inferior to us. Once we have to clash with them, a large-scale war will be inevitable.”
Lan Xuanyu clenched his fists subconsciously. He initially thought that even if he graduated from the s.p.a.ce Command Department, he would at most be able to pilot a s.p.a.cecraft. He didn’t expect that there would really be a war!
After hearing Xiao Qi’s words, he could understand why Tang Zhenhua was so strict with him.
The large soul beast sped through the forest and half an hour later, a relatively empty area appeared before them.
All sorts of soul beasts could be seen everywhere. And after seeing the humans, these soul beasts seemed to be used to it and completely ignored them. Most of them stayed far away.
In front of them was a large lake with a vast surface. By the side of the lake, there were large trees that were over 500 meters tall. A gigantic canopy covered the sky and actually covered most of the lake.
The area next to these large trees was relatively empty and there were wooden houses built. It was obvious that they were inhabited by humans.
This was the soul beasts’ guest area for the humans and was also one of the core areas for soul beasts.
The Great Earth Demon Rhinoceros was the first to stop, and the Myriad Demon King invited w.a.n.g Tianyu to get off. There were already many people waiting in front of the wooden house. It was obvious that these were real humans and not soul beasts.
Among them, there were a few humans with extraordinary auras that walked towards w.a.n.g Tianyu and conversed with him. One of them had two military stars on his shoulder and was dressed in military uniform. He was obviously someone from the Federation’s military.
Everyone from Shrek Academy got off their mounts as well. Xiao Qi said, “These are all people from various parties and are led by the Federation’s officials. There are also some representatives who have come to attend the ceremony. Everyone, please go to your rooms to rest. Do not move around and do not go out. This is to prevent unnecessary trouble. If you encounter any soul beasts, be as friendly as possible to prevent any conflicts. Understood?”
The first years were still young, after all, and he was worried that these children would have conflicts with the soul beasts out of curiosity. That wouldn’t be good.
There was naturally no need to worry about the Inner Court disciples. Those who were able to enter the Inner Court had all been to the Elven Planet before and were definitely very familiar with this place.
w.a.n.g Tianyu left with the Myriad Demon King and the rest, probably to be treated to a feast. Shrek Academy had a total of close to 50 people this time, with the majority being first years. They were quickly arranged to stay in those wooden houses.
Two people shared a room. Lan Xuanyu naturally shared a room with Liu Feng. Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqiu were supposed to share a room, but Lan Xuanyu was a little worried about Tang Yuge and asked the human staff here to specially arrange a three-person room for them so that the three girls could live together. This thoughtful action of his caused Tang Yuge to be moved. Ever since she joined the first years, she had always felt the concern from her teammates, especially Lan Xuanyu, who had always paid attention to the changes in her emotions. This was definitely not the case with the third years. At that time, she was very compet.i.tive. But now, she didn’t have to be the cla.s.s leader or do anything else, she just had to be herself. She liked this feeling more.
The room wasn’t big, but it had everything. There was a toilet and shower room, and there were two beds in the bedroom. When they opened the windows, they were greeted with greenery.
Lan Xuanyu loved the air here and immediately opened the window after entering the room.
