Chapter 1722: Chapter 20: Return to the ‘University

On the White Seed Star side, they ultimately chose to surrender.

Not only the Ace Fleet, but even the stationed troops on the White Seed Star, after a brief silence upon learning of their overlord’s demise, chose to surrender.

If they didn’t surrender, how could they face a Stellar-level strong entity capable of defeating the White Seed Star Overlord and the Overlord of the River Dragon Star System?

“This, this Lord, may I know your name?…”

Inside the Stationed Troops Star, a large group of military officers surrounded an incredibly gigantic creature.

Each of them was respectful, fearing any slight misstep would provoke the wrath of the creature before them. After all, this was a great presence capable of killing opponents of the same Stellar level.

“My name?”

Jia Yan pondered for a moment. His name was certainly well-known in the Stellar Academy. Although this place was far off, it was still within the reach of their influence. It was better not to reveal his true name.

“You can call me the Assassin.”

“Yes, Lord Assassin, here is the number of our stationed troops and other logistical information. Please have a look, Lord Assassin.”

A creature who appeared to have reached the peak of the Semi-permanent Star Level approached Jia Yan and projected some information via the Smart Brain.

“No need to look. I won’t bother you with too much for now. Your positions and conditions remain unchanged; I won’t do anything to you.”

Jia Yan waved a leg and then directly followed the leading group of higher-ups into the massive building.

As Jia Yan expected, within his disappointment, there was no more Ghost’s Blood inside that building.

Of course, he didn’t hold much hope in the first place; after all, if there were any left, why hadn’t Heilong taken them all away earlier?

“Lord, we know that the dominant… no, the former White Seed had a unique method to obtain Ghost’s Blood. Please, Lord, take a look.”

Noticing that Jia Yan seemed very interested in the Ghost’s Blood, one of the higher-ups hurriedly took out a set of Smart Brain data and transferred it all to Jia Yan’s Smart Brain.

“Oh? The Starry Sky Fishing Method… this is quite intriguing. It even includes the origins and speculations about these Space Ghosts. Indeed, it’s good data.”

To be honest, Jia Yan wasn’t greatly interested in controlling a Galaxy.

But now that he had obtained this Fishing Method, Jia Yan’s interest in the White Seed Star had greatly increased.

Especially after seeing that the former White Seed Star Overlord had used certain secret techniques to bring the Space Ghosts to the White Seed Star System, leading to the significant presence of Space Ghosts there.

“I see. The enormous Space Ghosts have grown so massive because of someone’s nurturing, and even the White Seed Star Overlord didn’t know there’s a presence among them comparable to Stellar level. If he knew, perhaps he wouldn’t have maintained such a calm attitude.”

Feeling that the officer creature had been helpful, Jia Yan casually granted him a higher position, causing the officer to be overjoyed.

Not long after, even before Jia Yan said anything, there was suddenly a surrender document from the White Seed Star, expressing their desire to surrender to Jia Yan.

In this Stellar Battlefield, creatures weaker than Stellar level must be perceptive and adaptable, or they wouldn’t even know how they died.

“Ha, since they’ve surrendered, it spares me some effort. In that case, my Adisa won’t need repairs on this Stationed Troops Star—it can be fixed on the White Seed Star, as no other place matches the White Seed Star in terms of facilities.”

Jia Yan thought about it, then advised the creatures on the Stationed Troops Star not to panic and to continue guarding as before.

During a speech to the attentive creatures on the Stationed Troops Star, Jia Yan suddenly had an idea.

Beside him, a subspace crack opened.

From within, a tiny being, indistinguishable from a human from Earth, stepped out nonchalantly.

“Greetings, Lord Assassin.”

This humanoid creature was, of course, Jia Yan’s own avatar.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Jia Yan controlled it to salute the true body.

“Hmm? Isn’t that… Jia Yan? Why is he beside Lord Assassin?”

“Hmph, if not for this guy, we wouldn’t have been in such chaos earlier… nor would so many have died.”

A group of creatures, upon seeing the avatar beside the true body, all had expressions of shock.

However, they were perceptive enough to quickly realize that this Jia Yan had appeared by ‘Assassin’ Lord’s side, and his appearance bore a faint resemblance to the subspace power that Lord Assassin and the former White Seed Lord had displayed during their confrontation!

“This, this Jia Yan, is he a subordinate of Lord Assassin?”

“No wonder, now I understand. He was just a pawn tasked with causing chaos on our Stationed Troops Star to facilitate Lord Assassin in eliminating the two Stellar-level entities.”

A group of high-ranking creatures glanced at each other, their expressions full of astonishment.

After understanding this point, they clearly realized that this ‘Jia Yan’ was actually a trusted confidant of Lord Assassin, and they no longer dared to regard him as an enemy.

“Alright, most of you should know who he is by now. Yes, he is the one who caused quite a commotion on your Stationed Troops Star previously. But from now on, you will be comrades with Jia Yan, and when facing him, you should act as if facing me. If you violate this, I can take your life at any time. Do you understand?”

Hearing Jia Yan’s words filled with a chilling killing intent, the soldiers and officers on the Stationed Troops Star all shivered.

Even Len shouted loudly, “Understood. Greetings, Lord Jia Yan!”

The true body didn’t assign any position to the avatar; his intention was for the avatar to have the same status as himself because it’s just his avatar, almost the same as himself.

But this fact left the surrounding creatures nearly dumbfounded, thinking that the Jia Yan in front of them was so dearly favored by Lord Assassin, having authority almost equal to Lord Assassin himself.

“Now I will go with Jia Yan to accept the White Seed Star. Do not panic here, is that clear?”

After receiving the creatures’ consent, Jia Yan, along with his avatar, entered the subspace together.

“Is this, is this really leaving?”

The high-ranking officials of the Stationed Troops Star stared in disbelief at the place where Jia Yan and his avatar had left.

One wonders, when any strong ones take over another’s territory, don’t they usually cause a storm of bloodshed?

However, in their eyes, this Lord Assassin seemed different. After receiving their Stationed Troops Star, such a military unit, there was no slaughter or power changes, and he just left like that…

“Don’t be foolish. This Lord Assassin isn’t that simple. He can kill both Heilong and the White Seed, indicating his current strength is remarkable. And haven’t you noticed, the life force erupting from this lord’s body is vastly different from the ailing White Seed, definitely extremely young. So how could someone this young at the stellar level be ambitious solely for a small White Seed System? Therefore…”

“It’s not that he has no vigilance, but he simply doesn’t regard our little Stationed Troops Star or even the entire White Seed Star in his eyes at all!”

“Ah, I see! This is a being with far-reaching ambitions, far beyond the White Seed and Heilong. Working under such a presence can be considered our luck. In the future, let’s not create trouble for the lord.”

The high-level officials of the Stationed Troops Star, after realizing the possible attitude of this creature named Jia Yan, each gave up some of their small schemes and continued their usual work on the White Seed Star.

On the other side, after entering subspace with the avatar, Jia Yan arrived inside the Adisa.

“Haha, master, the Adisa can be repaired soon, right? Ooh, it can finally be fixed. You don’t know, recently the Adisa has been in a bad state. Look at this, the right wing of the ship is slightly broken, by fifty centimeters, so miserable.”

Upon entering the Adisa, the little Aidisha, turned into a shadow mosquito, came happily bouncing and laughing before Jia Yan.

“Alright, the repairs will be completed soon. Can’t you be a little less excited?”

Jia Yan gave a helpless chuckle.

“Uh-huh, Aidisha won’t jump anymore.”

Aidisha quickly pretended to be calm, fearing that if Jia Yan got upset, he might not proceed with the repairs.

Aidisha activated and, in normal subspace, maintained a speed slightly faster than typical battleships, heading towards the main White Seed Star.

“Oh right, the avatar will return to the Fifth Satellite University. There’s not much to do right now, and there’s a certain identity mingling among ordinary creatures, which can also provide a chance to observe any changes among them…”

Jia Yan thought for a moment and assigned this task to the avatar.

The journey was uneventful, and before long, the massive twenty-kilometer-long Adisa arrived in subspace outside the White Seed Star.

At this place, a small figure flew out of subspace.

However, instead of landing on the main White Seed Star, he aimed for a not-too-large nearby satellite and flew directly onto it.

As for his true body, he used the communication device on the Adisa to send a signal to the White Seed Star.

Before long, a figure appeared on that small satellite.

“Huh? Jia Yan, didn’t you go on a mysterious mission? Why are you back so soon?”

A black bird-like monster looked in amazement at the human-shaped creature standing in front of it.

Standing before it was Jia Yan’s avatar.

“Hehe, the mission ended, so I’m back.”

“Uh-huh, glad you’re back. Listen, while you were away, I really suffered. Those guys challenging you couldn’t find you and took it out on me. Especially that darn girl from the Elven tribe; she kept shooting arrows at me from behind. Boo-hoo, Jia Yan, you have to stand up for me.”

The black bird practically burst into tears.

“Oh, I know, I’ll help you when there’s a chance…”

Jia Yan nodded slightly, but soon he raised his head and gazed into the dark starry sky.
