Chapter 1843: Chapter 31: Theyâre Right Here!
âWow, itâs really chaotic, all kinds of energy are here. This is Star Crystal Ore, this is Super-ability Liquid Metals, this isâŠâ
âAll of them have extremely high energy, but the refining process will take a while. Lord, please wait, I will take care of it.â
Adisa appeared very busy, bustling about incessantly. As the Smart Brain of Adisa, it actually uses an external Mosquito form, requiring minimal energy and calculations.
But now itâs so busy that they canât talk much with Jia Yan, they canât even afford to waste a bit of computational power, which shows how occupied it is.
Inside Adisa, the enormous boiler room initiated the refining process, along with the advanced melting furnace handling the materials Jia Yan brought.
They are rapidly transforming into Energy Sources usable by Adisa.
âAlright, thereâs nothing else for now, Iâll go out and calm the people down. Hopefully, those guys wonât find us so soon; otherwise, we really have no way to deal with Wu DaâŠâ
Jia Yan glanced at Adisaâs interior, realizing thereâs nothing he can help with, and so he left the ship.
âLord, can the materials we brought, be used?â
Just after stepping out of the subspace, a group of subordinates who had been waiting for a long time, like anxious family members of surgery patients, quickly gathered around Jia Yan, asking with some concern.
âYes, theyâre useful, but as we thought, it will take a while.â Jia Yan nodded, but also communicated the news of needing time.
âUgh, I knew it. Itâll definitely need time, the things we brought are indeed too diverse.â
Tian Niu Lang nodded in understanding, and the other subordinates nodded as well.
âSo during this period, our defenses must not slack off; otherwise, it would be too unfortunate if Wu Da strikes us at the final stage.â
âAbsolutely, letâs fortify this asteroid belt. Fortunately, weâve been active: weâve dismantled our battleshipâs detection and artillery systems and positioned them around, ready to hold off even for a short while against Stellar Strong Ones.â
âPlus, the terrain around here helped us practice the Combination Technique of Divine Spirits. Itâs really brilliant; even though we supposedly canât cooperate well with Lord Luo Longsiâs Divine Spirit Combination Technique, using the Lordâs System Strength weâve found we can somewhat coordinate, allowing us to reluctantly cast such cooperation. Thus, when we join forces, while not a match against Wu Da, we can barely attain a combat power comparable to a regular Intermediate Stellar Level, enough to resist a few blows.â
âWith so many means, our chances are still promising.â
Each hidden card revealed, despite Jia Yan watching them increase in strength step by step to now, he felt a hint of awe.
Jia Yan hadnât intervened in all this, yet somehow they achieved it all. Even mastering the Divine Spirit Combination Technique wasnât suggested by him; they thought of it themselves, leveraging a slight simulated Divine Spirit power in the System that Jia Yan taught them, faintly mastering the technique.
Of course, this trace isnât much, but itâs barely enough to unite nine Stellar powers, a force that is astoundingly powerful, and even Jia Yan must be cautious facing them.
So these things indicate that Jia Yan has a significant advantage with these equally strong subordinates aiding him. In the past, Jia Yanâs so-called subordinates besides the ones assisting with research provided little combat support due to a large gap in talent.
But now itâs different. Their power level is Stellar, their talent speaks for itself, so sometimes their suggestions are more sophisticated than Jia Yanâs.
âAlright, letâs follow your plan. If Wu Da comes, Iâve actually made progress in strength these days, even though I canât entirely stop him, I might hold him off for a while, so donât worry.â
Jia Yan spoke calmly.
His power truly improved these days, but whether he can show different results against Wu Da remains doubtful.
Besides the subspace advantages, Jia Yan has another edge others might forget, which is his physical stamina.
The Evolutionary Creatureâs endurance in prolonged combat and damage absorption can arguably rank second to none in the Starry Sky known to Jia Yan.
Thus he plans, if Wu Da dares to come, he will engage in an entangled battle, even though it might result in severe injuries, it can definitely buy time.
Of course, the main problem is, while he can drag out time, whether heâll end up trapped in such a fight, since Wu Daâs power is still not something he can confront now. The prolonged fight he has confidence in, but what happens after, whether he can escape, remains unknown.
Days pass by slowly amidst arrangements and anticipation.
Although no one says it, itâs apparent everyone expects a final battle.
After all, beings of Stellar level already possess a certain ability to sense future events through changes in the external world, not as prophecies but sensing the direction of happenings based on environmental shifts.
Of course, thereâs a high likelihood of errors.
Yet, they havenât slackened their training, with nine subordinates gradually practicing the Combination Technique of Luo Longsi and other four Divine Spirits.
They are all rapidly advancing in Jia Yanâs System Ability, showing different levels due to individual talent and other factors.
The fastest progress, surprisingly, belongs to the four Female God Spirits.
Initially, other creatures believed the minds of those from the Deity System were relatively inflexible, making it difficult to quickly grasp other systemâs cultivation energy, and they shouldnât comprehend Jia Yanâs novel theories well.
Yet, their pace happens to be the swiftest.
Actually, they possess a certain advantage since Jia Yanâs System focuses on simulating Divine Spirit Energy, which is familiar to them. Cultivating it offers twice the result with half the effort, quickly entering the domain and then progressing faster naturally.
However, perfection is elusive; they now face a bottleneck, as this System requires comprehension of the Universe Systemâs cultivation methods, halting them here.
As for the other five Stellar level creatures, they initially encountered a bottleneck in the Divine Spirit simulation and have yet to break through to the comprehension of the Universe Creature System, potentially progressing faster than the four Female God Spirits by then.
Overall, theyâve perceived the greatness of Jia Yanâs new System, merely grasping its furor.
The dual energy simulation feels like wielding two forces simultaneously, though cultivation time demands more, opportunities alternate between easy and challenging periods; when one aspect gets stuck, another might become a progress route, facilitating breakthroughs.
The dual forces can even stack, implying if simulation on both sides reaches Stellar Class Junior, a simultaneous burst could have an accumulated effect of two Stellar Class Juniors or trigger unforeseen changes.
This prospect of Jia Yanâs System excites them greatly; even though they can suggest advice to Jia Yan, they lack the ability to create subsequent paths. Now the simulation on the other side at most provides enhancements to Star Space Level, and beyond, only Jia Yan as the creator can manage.
Hence, even if Jia Yan wants to drive them away, they likely wonât leave; having such a grand system to learn, they are unwilling to depart.
Life proceeds vibrantly; a group of Stellar Strong Ones relish the long-lost sense of urgency and time constraint.
These beings have lived for long, even those yet to live long have rarely experienced such a time-driven sensation since reaching Stellar level.
Unlike them, Jia Yan has constantly felt this run-against-time sensation throughout his ascent, always driven by pressure to advance quickly.
So he is accustomed to these current feelings.
âAdisa, are we nearly finished?â
One day, Jia Yan sought out Adisa again, inquiring about the energy extraction process.
âMaster, itâs quite soon. After today, at least, weâll be able to perform a jump out of this Stellar Battlefieldâs distance.â
âThatâs good, I have a feeling that today or tomorrow, someone strong will come knocking.â
âReally soon, Iâll do my best.â
After chatting with Adisa, Jia Yan continued his cultivation in the subspace.
He realized his power and that of the Stellar subordinates were intertwined, their exterior efforts faintly assisting in refining the strength within the new System, thus motivating Jia Yan further.
Actually, Jia Yanâs own depth in the new System exceeds that of the subordinates who barely reach the Second System Star Space Level, while his own is at least at the Secondary Level.
Otherwise, he couldnât emit such bizarre ripples.
Of course, the ripples relate to his unique Evolutionary Creature body; overall, his power is also rapidly progressing, even vaguely sensing that should his Second System reach Semi-permanent Star Level, there would be a transformation and upgrade to a new stage.
âTheyâre here!â
As Jia Yan and the subordinates anticipate the end of this last day, suddenly, a voice booming as though unexpected yet awaited for ages resonates sharply from outside the asteroid belt!
âTheyâve finally arrivedâŠâ
In the subspace, Jia Yan abruptly stood up.
