Chapter 618 - 615: You Might Become the Savior!
"Four thousand light years seem very distant. With spacecraft from the Common Era, this journey would take hundreds of thousands of years, and we might still not reach."
Speaker Wan said leisurely, "But in the Spiritual Era, with supernatural abilities like space teleportation and dimensional leaps, this distance is almost like opening a door.
"If it weren’t for the terrifying resources needed to open an interstellar teleportation gate and the cumbersome task of calibrating spatial coordinates, the Sea Race might have already invaded Earth."
Wan Zhen, who had not spoken, finally said:
"Yes, actually I think the Sea Race didn’t have Earth’s exact coordinates, which is why they chose Yazd Star as their first invasion target. If they had Earth’s exact coordinates, their first stop would have been to invade Earth."
Speaker Wan nodded slightly: "That’s quite right. Yazd Star’s environment is arid, mainly land with only a few lakes. Earth is predominantly ocean, similar to the environment of Stilan Star, making it more likely to attract the interest of those Sea Races."
Bai Pu said: "Chief, I’m aware of the crisis Earth is facing, but what’s the connection to you promoting me? Do I possess some capability that can help Earth?"
Bai Pu did not believe that his own strength could help Earth confront its crisis.
This was a war between planets, with tens of millions or even more Awakened participating. Even if Bai Pu doubled his strength, he would still be insignificant in such a large-scale war.
The outcome of the war depends on the overall strength of both sides.
Speaker Wan sighed and said, "We have stepped into the Spiritual Era too recently. The number of Awakened we have is not even a tenth of that on Yazd Star. The overall strength of our Awakened experts is far inferior.
"And Yazd Star is just one of the stronger ’Tier One Awakened Planets.’ According to intelligence, Stilan Star is already a ’Tier Two Evolutionary Planet,’ its strength more than ten times greater than Yazd Star. In a direct confrontation, Earth stands no chance."
Bai Pu was silent.
With Yazd Star as a measuring unit, the strength gap between Earth and Stilan Star is like heaven and earth.
Fearing that Bai Pu might not realize the strength of the Evolvers, Speaker Wan showed Bai Pu an item.
It was a somewhat ancient talisman, stored in a transparent box.
The material of the box was unknown, with the official seal of the Central Council attached to it.
Bai Pu had no time to study the material of the box, as he had already been shocked by the talisman inside.
[Arrow Thunder Talisman: Summons a thunder arrow to attack targets within a linear area, dealing 8000 base thunder damage to the first enemy, with additional damage added based on the user’s Spirit Attribute. Damage to the second enemy is reduced by 10%, and so on.]
[This Arrow Thunder Talisman contains a trace of the True Intent of Destruction, causing damage that ignores Tier One Shield Skills, and adds (160) points of Thunder Penetration.]
Bai Pu instinctively felt threatened. He initially thought his blood volume of over eight thousand, along with high double resistance and various shield damage reduction skills, made him invincible on Earth.
Yet, in this small, ancient talisman, he sensed a force powerful enough to destroy him. If he were hit by two or three of such talismans simultaneously, even with Bai Pu’s defense, he would fall.
"This is..."
"This is a ’National Destiny-level Artifact.’"
Speaker Wan carefully put away the box and slowly said, "As the name suggests, it’s an artifact that suppresses national destiny...
"The nation cooperates with Spirit Realm Will to host large-scale world events such as exams. If they manage to ensure relative fairness and justice, they will receive ’National Destiny Points’ from the Spirit Realm Will. Accumulating 100 National Destiny Points allows for drawing a National Destiny-level Artifact."
"What about world events like the Celestial Human War or professional leagues?"
Speaker Wan shook his head: "Those also count as world events, but they are too small in scale, so the National Destiny Points given by the Spirit Realm Will are also very few."
"It seems, the official inventory of National Destiny-level Artifacts isn’t large," Bai Pu said.
"Indeed, it’s not large. This thing mainly serves as a deterrent. For peak experts like the Celestial Mansion’s Cyan Vault, Superstar Dragon King, and East Mountain Power King, conventional official forces pose very little threat to them. Only through the deterrence of National Destiny-level Artifacts can these peak experts be made to follow the rules."
Speaker Wan coughed: "Relying on these National Destiny-level Artifacts to deal with Stilan Star is definitely impossible, as there aren’t enough of them, and they pose little threat to Evolvers.
"I brought out this National Destiny-level Artifact mainly to illustrate the strength of Evolvers. They use Tier Two Equipment and Tier Two Artifacts, cultivate Tier Two Skills, surpassing the limits of Awakened in terms of power and priority.
"You think a National Destiny-level Artifact is impressive, right? But Stilan Star’s Evolvers can easily unleash the power of a National Destiny-level Artifact. The Awakened are no match for them."
Bai Pu said, "Don’t worry, Chief, I’m not so arrogant as to believe I can withstand the Evolvers."
"That’s good." Speaker Wan was relieved. He went through all the trouble to retrieve this National Destiny-level Artifact from the treasury, just concerned Bai Pu might be complacent and underestimate the threat of Stilan Star.
Now that Bai Pu had realized the strength of Stilan Star, Speaker Wan smoothly proceeded to the next step.
"In the face of such a powerful alien enemy, we have no choice but one: escape. Escape to the Silver Heart Great World, where some of Earth’s human predecessors are struggling, at least providing some support.
"Gangxin, now it’s time to talk about you.
"You already know that a Bronze Level Brigadier General can use materials to create a Spiritual Ability Battleship. However, a Bronze Level Battleship can carry at most a few hundred people, which is a drop in the ocean.
"A level up, a Silver-level Brigadier General’s flagship has much greater capacity than a Bronze Level Flagship, equivalent to a small city. However, Silver Lieutenant Generals are extremely rare; Huaxia only has one.
"The highest level, the flagship of a Gold-level Brigadier General, is certainly more formidable, saving even more people! And there’s one key: only officers with a Golden Military Rank can be promoted to Official General, a qualitative leap over a Quasi-General!"
Speaker Wan looked at Bai Pu, his voice slow: "Gangxin, do you understand? This is the biggest reason the Nine-Person Council unanimously voted to promote you to the tenth sequence on the spot. You could become the savior!"
Bai Pu’s heart pounded. He had speculated somewhat, but when such a heavy responsibility was placed on his shoulders, he found it hard to suppress his excitement, an inexplicable emotion rising within him.
"I’m currently just a Golden Major. To be promoted to Golden Vice Admiral or even Major General requires a massive amount of Honor Points. Is there still time?" Bai Pu questioned.
