I Found A Planet

Chapter 459: Time Was On My Side

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After the establishment of the All-Stars Federation, as the Queen of the Federation, the first crisis for Mu Yunhua and the Federation suddenly arrived.

The mysterious higher civilization had dispatched 100,000 A-class interstellar warships all at once; they carried with them the power to crush the Federation under their feet. It seemed that they intended to swallow the entire Federation.

Mu Yunhua could not resist this wave of attacks. Through the years, she had developed a habit of relying on Chen Jin, hence the first thing she thought of was to ask him for help.

It was just that Chen Jin, who often bragged about how powerful and awesome he was, was not powerful at all.

Besides the small number of forces that he retained in his possession, he was only able to provide two S-class warships to assist the Federation. Together with 500 A-class warships that had previously been loaned out.

There were a total of 502 ships making up the main fleet.

Not surprisingly, this would form the core strength of the All-Stars Federation to withstand against the 100,000 warships of the mysterious and higher civilization.

The odds were against them at 1 to 200.

There was no problem in using these numbers for the defense of a single galaxy or escape.

If these numbers were used to fight 100,000 warships in a battle of force, even if only one or two warships sustained damages in every small-scale battle, it would become difficult for them to hold their own as time passed.

Countermeasures were discussed in a parliament meeting of the Federation.

“We are facing an enemy who is 20 times larger than us. It will be extremely difficult to resist them for 10 years. I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold on that long.”

“It is enough to resist for only five years or so. The fleet of the Lanyi civilization is slower. With the speed of their spacecraft, it will take them five years of travel to cross the distance of hundreds of light-years... During travel, they would still have to carry out repairs and replenish their supplies...Even if they were to come straight to the Walf galaxy, it will take them four or five years.”

“As long as we make full use of this period and dispatch advanced warships to contend with the enemy while we wait for the civilization behind Her Majesty to assist, we should be able to see the moment of victory.”

The method suggested by a portion of the parliament members’ was to delay events by dragging things out.

Then, they would cling onto the civilization backing Mu Yunhua for support.

“No!”

The military representative Bai Shengqi shook his head with a stern expression, “We cannot deal with the enemy so passively. We can’t just think about delaying the time, instead, we must actively seek opportunities to do battle with the enemy; we need to strive to hold them off while incurring the fewest damages.”

“We are fighting inside our borders. We have thousands of colonial galaxies. The Selain slaves are now the object of liberation by the Lanyi civilization..... If we give up more galaxies, the number Selains that will be standing on our opposite side with the enemy will increase.”

“As time goes on, our situation will only become worse.”

“So we still have to concentrate on the main fleet. We should set up a special fleet to block the enemy’s progress and fully take advantage of our mobility. We’ll take the initiative to attack and launch sneak attacks on the Lanyi civilization from all directions!”

“The enemy’s fleet is divided into hundreds of divisions. None of the divisions are very strong. If we were to fully develop our local advantages, each time that we annihilate a division, and as long as we destroy ten of their sub-fleets, they will act more cautiously. In this way, we can also hold onto the majority of the Selains so that they will not be liberated by the enemy and then stand as our opposition again.”

Take the initiative to attack!

This move was risky.

Though the risk was high, it would allow them to retain most of the stakes and benefits.

“Then we’ll take the initiative to attack!”

Mu Yunhua supported the opinion of Bai Shengqi. Cowardly and stupid retreats, again and again, were absolutely a no-go. She too could not accept such a course of action.

The Selains could not all be liberated. They were too valuable. Once they were freed, it would not be easy to conquer them again.

Moreover, the Lanyi civilization only had A-class warships. They had not yet reached the level where they were able to manufacture S-class warships. The enemy only had an overall quantitative advantage. If they concentrated on their elite fleet and attacked part of the enemy’s division by launching multiple crushing battles to split them up, the enemy might even retreat once they knew how difficult the situation would be when they become weak, slow, and fearful from the Federation’s attacks.

Thus, she passed the so-called “test.”

Mu Yunhua’s character could be prideful. But even if she did not have enough aces up her sleeve, she still hoped to submit a satisfactory answer sheet to prove her value.

“They dare to invade the All-Stars Federation. Then, they should get ready to be completely wiped out,” A chilling voice sounded in her mind.

...

On Earth.

Everything seemed to be calm and quiet.

But behind the calm facade, several major events occurred.

First, the Heavenly Realm had disappeared.

In other words, the Heavenly Realm had been completely transformed into part of the primordial chaos. The laws, materials, and soils in the realm had all turned into the gray and dusky gas of the primordial chaos.

Thus, a vast and brilliant high-energy universe had arrived at its end.

As for the cause of the realm’s destruction, the upper class of the Protoss had come to a common understanding of the cause long ago.

Its destruction stemmed from greed and damage.

It stemmed from the powerful practitioners of the different systems; the pollution and damage they caused during battles.

The Heavenly Realm was originally divided into seven large blocks of territories. They were independent and scattered. The power system of each large block was different and each had its unique characteristics.

However, after the practitioners became stronger, they gradually became unsatisfied with simply developing and growing on their own tiny and insignificant lands. Thus, they turned their greedy eyes onto the other six blocks.

Hence, wars of invasion and counter-invasion between the different blocks began.

The war had lasted for thousands, tens of thousands of years, and the scope of the war expanded.

As time went on, it became a super chaotic free-for-all between the seven big blocks.

Each block had its unique cultivation systems, such as magic, combat energy, spiritual energy, ghost energy, firepower, water power, and power over time and space... Thus, the different power systems and the different types of celestial particles represented by these systems had the opportunity to come into contact with each other.

The merging of all the different types of celestial particles resulted in the primordial particle.

Moreover, the particles of the primordial chaos had a catalytic effect. As long as a sufficient amount of these particles were accumulated, it could catalyze even the most basic substance into the same kind of particle as itself – the primordial particle.

Hence, the crisis of the primordial chaos transforming everything it touched began.

The strong, who did whatever they pleased with their power, tasted the consequences of abusing this power without any regularity or order.

The crisis finally got to such a severe stage that everything was about to turn into the primordial chaos. At that point, to survive, Earth and the universe it was located in, which had nearly no trace of any celestial particles become a refuge.

Then, the “Revival of Magical Powers” began on Earth.

More than 20 billion of the Protoss populations had emigrated to the solar system.

Recently, after the transformation of the Heavenly Realm into the endless chaos, the four Sages of the Protoss descended onto Earth.

The oppressive spiritual and psychological might of the Sages were so powerful that it could even be described as a law. If a Sage was to leak even a slight trace of that might, all intelligent lifeforms on Earth would not be able to help themselves but to kneel down or even lie prostrate on the ground as they trembled.

However, only one Sage had performed such intimidating actions.

Besides, the two space portals near the Jupiter orbit and Earth had not been closed. Instead, they were left in an open state as they frantically dispelled the gas of the primordial chaos with a purity that was close to 100%.

It might be that after the entire Heavenly Realm was completely merged with the universe here, that those portals would automatically close.

“The gas of the primordial chaos does not have much effect on those Protoss after they have emigrated here. What’s the point in continuing to merge their world with this universe? Logically speaking, it’s not necessary to do so anymore,” Chen Jin asked as he knitted his brow, he thought that the matter felt a little strange.

“Master, I do have a rather premature guess,” Nuwa’s voice rang out beside him.

“Say it.”

“I estimate that after escaping the crisis of the primordial chaos, a new crisis will arrive.”

“New crisis? What kind of crisis?”

“I think it should be the ‘Crisis of The End Of Buddhist Teachings and Cultivation.’”

Chen Jin immediately shook his head, “What kind of joke is this, magical powers had just been revived. How is it possible that the world is about to enter the so-called ‘Crisis of the end of Buddhist Teachings and Cultivation’? On the contrary, the golden age of cultivation should be arriving.”

“That seems to be the case on the surface. The concentration of the celestial particles has been increasing over the past few decades, giving people the misconception that the peak era of cultivation was arriving soon. But if you look closely, you will find that even for places like Earth, which can withstand the scouring of the celestial particles and is a paradise-like happy land, the concentration of the natural spiritual energy is still not very high. It is estimated that there is only a tenth of the spiritual energy here as compared to the Heavenly Realm.”

“A tenth?”

“Yes, and only one-tenth of the Heavenly Realm’s. Not to mention the golden age, this concentration level is not even good enough for a silver age.”

“It seems that this is a real reason, especially for the Protoss,” Chen Jin nodded.

“And the real pity is that when the only thing flowing from the portal is purely the gas of the primordial chaos, the concentration of the celestial particles will gradually fall from its current highest point. Then, the concentration will become lesser and lesser, thinner and thinner. In the end, the overarching trend will tend towards the era of the end of Buddhism and its teachings.”

“How could this happen?” Chen Jin asked in surprise.

“I believe that you’ve heard of the Brownian motion? The movement of the celestial particles is random. These particles will occasionally attach themselves to objects that they have a high affinity for, thus giving birth to the spirit stones, spiritual treasures... Moreover, the space in this universe is so vast that the concentration of those celestial particles will be reduced to 1% or even 0.1% in the future... According to the current dispersion rate, after about a thousand years, the celestial particles in the air would not even be enough to supply the practitioners in the phase of Foundation Establishment.”

“99.9% of the practitioners’ state of cultivation will regress, including the Sages who are standing at the very top. In a situation where celestial particles are insufficient, the stages of cultivation will seriously deteriorate.”

“So the current era is the best era, things will only get worse as time goes on.”

“But to cope with the situation that they will encounter very soon, the Sages chose to merge the two worlds. They intend to let in the primordial particles that occupied the greatest composition in their air into the universe here. They’ve considered cultivation methods that are developed based on the particles of the primordial chaos. They’ll become the final Cultivators of the Primordial Chaos.”

“Looking at the current situation, the primordial particles could keep dispelling from the portals for at least tens or hundreds of thousands of years. The concentration of the primordial particles will only get higher and higher. Finally, there will be more and more people cultivating based on the primordial particles.”

Even if the attack and destructive power of the primordial particles were only one-thousandth of the ordinary celestial particles, it would still be stronger in comparison to the time when the practitioners would lose most of their power during the era of the End of Buddhism and its teachings, including cultivation.

“I understand now. So, those Sages are preparing for the future.”

Chen Jin had a sudden realization and he immediately became excited.

“Since the Revival of Magical Powers and the Silver Age are evolving towards the era of the end of Buddhism as the spiritual energy is becoming thinner, it means that, figuratively, the Protoss are falling from a high narrow peak on a downward curve. Does that mean that the individual power of the Protoss will become weaker and weaker in the future? There will be fewer and fewer practitioners with excellent cultivation. Even the Sages with their great powers may experience a deterioration?”

“Yes, this is the reason why all the party forces within the Protoss were purged with lightning speed and efficiency. Those Sages do not want the commoners in the mortal world to wise up. If there are too many practitioners, there wouldn’t be sufficient reserves of spiritual energy to be divvied up between all the practitioners. This would affect their strength.”

“Moreover, if there are too many practitioners or too many people who have the innate ability for cultivation, they might also be attacked. Resources are limited, and the Sages will not care about the lives of lesser beings. When necessary, the Sages can be ruthless and kill them.”

Chen Jin took a deep breath, “So, my Chen family’s Sage Plan, the plan of producing geniuses in batches is like moving the Sages’ cheese. Once it is discovered, it’ll be taken down in one strike and beaten to a pulp... it was necessary to send them away.”

“And Master, as the competition progresses towards its end, you will possess a greater advantage... This is because the overall strength of the Protoss will become weaker and weaker, their advantages will gradually shrink. They could even be easily dealt with using the mechas.”

“Not to mention, Master possesses the technology of transforming the primordial crystal into spirit stones. The Era of the End of Buddhist Teachings and Cultivation that are experienced and perceived by others does not affect us at all. The masters that we cultivate are solid and true masters. They do not have the problem of deteriorating cultivation stages.”

“As long as we follow this trend and develop into the future for a hundred years, the Chen family can act in a high-profile manner back on Earth. There will be a need to take exchange your stakes and benefits for asylum. You can be a saint. Even if it were the Sages who insist on making trouble for the Chen family, we can first use an anti-matter missile to bomb them, and then we’ll besiege them with the masters. With our schemes, even if they are invincible Sages, they would still face the possibility of damage or death.”

“And after that, I believe that all powers would know who is the strongest on Earth and who is its master.”

Chen Jin nodded repeatedly as he listened.

Indeed, time was entirely on his side.

They only had to act low-key for about another hundred years or so, then the Chen family would be able to soar without having to fear challenges from any power.

Of course, the premise of achieving all of these laid in one thing.

Chen Jin raised his hand and operated the terminal to make a phone call. He contacted Chen Junfeng.

“Junfeng, I’ll be giving you an important task. During this time, you’ll make arrangements for the family factories to produce a few more spaceships. Then, get the spaceships to work in batches on this assignment. Go to the portal near Earth and collect the gas of the primordial chaos. They should preferably be compressed into a high-density primordial crystal.”

“Now, I need the crystals of the primordial chaos. I need them very much. Get as many of them as you can. There is no limit on how much you can collect.... Get the staff to work overtime and pull extra shifts to complete this task!”

“Yes!”

Chen Junfeng nodded, “Grandpa, I promise to complete the task you’ve given me.”

...

A few months later.

Six advanced spaceships took turns leading their group of spacecraft as they traveled towards the area nearby the crack in space that measured thousands of kilometers on length.

“Whooo~Whooo~”

With the effects of siphoning, large numbers of primordial particles rushed out of the crack at a faster rate of dispersion.

It was as if an eighth-grade gale was blowing around them. The spacecraft shook slightly.

Then, the gas collection tube at the front of the spacecraft was opened.

A large number of primordial particles entered the tube and were compressed by the device, combining to form blocks of transparent crystals, which were stored in multiple repositories and then sent back to the ground separately.

They were put in fully automatic, rotation mode.

The primordial crystals that he needed were continuously sent back to Earth by the thousands every day.

“These primordial crystals are my aces; time is my ally. It won’t be too long before the Chen family will crush everything under our feet!” Chen Jin said to himself as he shook his fist.

However, the affairs of life were impermanent, the number of changes was unpredictable. It seemed as if an unprecedented major attack was coming straight for the Chen family.
