The million-strong merpeople army retreated.
They left as quickly as they came, and before they could kick up a storm, they had disappeared into Europa’s deep and vast seas.
But what they left behind deeply affected Ling Jiu and the others.
“The Kryptonians are a huge threat!”
Vulcan had a grim look on his face. “We need to get prepared as soon as possible.”
Everyone else nodded, their expressions equally solemn.
Atlantis was connected to Europa, and Europa was connected to Mars. That meant that as long as the Kryptonians discover Europa, they would find out about Mars sooner or later, and then Earth.
For a race to become stellar lifeforms upon adulthood, and those with good talents galactic lifeforms, the Kryptonians were just too powerful and no one had the confidence to hold against them.
“Brother Ling’s strategy of sparing the Merpeople is right, and even if the Kryptonians were to invade, the Merpeople will be the first defensive line, and buy us time.”
“Yeah.”
“Plus, Brother Ling seemed to have enslaved the Merpeople Queen, and that means they are as good as ours, and we can use them to our advantage.
As everyone discussed, Ling Jiu was silent. Seeing this Vulcan could not help but whisper. “Brother Ling, you have other thoughts in mind?”
Bai Ya and the rest of his family also looked at Ling Jiu.
“The strength of the Kryptonians surpasses us by far too much. If we were to run into them now, our end will be bad, real bad.”
Ling Jiu inhaled deeply. “So everyone, hurry up and improve your strength. Only when we get stronger can we deal with all crises that we face.”
Everyone nodded.
“Leoux, can we hand them the Tomes of Laws to train?”
Ling Jiu contacted Leoux. The Leoux had a large number of Tomes of Laws inside it. These were textbooks for the Emessians.
And since they were textbooks, they were naturally not in short supply, plus, as long as Leoux agreed to it, Earthlings can also learn them.
“Ling Jiu, you are the master of the Leoux, which naturally means you are also my master. As long as you are willing, I have no objections.”
Leoux said in a deep voice. “But I want to remind you that the Tomes of Laws are countless times more precious than even the Source Crystals of Laws, and are treasures that exist only in a Divine Civilization. Should they be leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable. This is the first part.”
“Secondly, humanity is not united, and not everyone is like Vulcan, Emperor Might, or you where you think about Earth all the time. Even if these people were to get stronger, they will be nothing but a detriment.”
Speaking of this, Leoux slowed down, before continuing. “Your goal to improve Earthlings’ strength is something I agree with, but i think you need to clear off the chaff first, and then only raise the elites.”
“Clear the chaff?”
Ling Jiu frowned. “How do I even do that?”
There was no doubt that humanity was not united, with careerists and scheming folks abound.
Every time there was a disaster, these people would pop up to stir trouble as if they fear that the world was not chaotic enough, and some of them were high-ranking folks.
Had it not been for people like Emperor Might and Vulcan holding the fort, Earth would have been in shambles.
“Disaster is a good sieve, filtering the good from the bad, the loyal from the disloyal,” Leoux pointed out.
“I understand what you mean now!”
A glint appeared in Ling Jiu’s eyes as he nodded. “In this case, let’s not reveal the Tomes of Laws first. Keep it for the right time then.”
“That’s for the best.”
Leoux agreed.
After that, Ling Jiu asked Vulcan, his family, and the rest to return to Whitehole 2 first, while he stayed behind. That left everyone confused.
Ling Jiu explained. “Since the seawater extraction from Europa threatens the Merpeople, then we’ll change to another planet, Ganymede happened to be just right.”
Upon hearing this. everyone nodded in agreement.
Ganymede had three layers of underground oceans, and each layer was 400 kilometers deep, and the seawater reserves were even greater than Europa.
Plus, Ganymede had no intelligent life, while all of the stellar and galactic lifeform there had already been captured by Leoux.
Finally Ganymede’s sea water contains extremely rich Dark Bio-energy, and this was the best nourishment for Mars.
So, pumping Ganymede’s water… could not be more appropriate.
Afterwards, Vulcan and the others left one after another and Ling Jiu got busy. He first destroyed the six pumping wormholes connecting Mars and Europa.
And Europa’s sea water no longer flowed out.
Immediately after, Ling Jiu followed the dimensional mark left on Ganymede and opened up a wormhole.
After becoming a stellar lifeform, his speed in opening wormholes increased greatly, and it took him only a day to complete the wormhole connecting Mars and Ganymede.
The moment the wormhole opened, the seawater from Ganymede flowed out onto the surface of Mars.
Immediately after, the second, third… fifth, and sixth followed.
These six wormholes connected Mars, Ganymede, and Whitehole 3, which was equivalent to indirectly connecting Mars and Whitehole 3.
What would happen?
It goes without saying!
At every moment, massive amounts of seawater would be pumped into Mars, and at the same time, a large amount of Dark Bio-energy would flow and spill into the air in Mars, increasing the concentration of Dark Bio-energy on Mars.
In the short term, the changes would not be obvious.
But it was foreseeable that as more and more seawater entered Mars, more Dark Bio-energy would enters Mars, and the first to benefit will be the Arcana Trees planted on Mars, and the cadets of the ultimate matriculation camp.
After a period of time, Mars will also become a good spot for training.
Ling Jiu stood up high in the air as he looked down upon the roaring waters pouring into the surface of Mars. A smile then appeared on his face before he disappeared.
Ling Jiu arrived at Whitehole 2.
He had originally wanted to go to Atlantis to have a look, but gave up after some thought. He was still too weak, and he should wait until he was stronger before going there.
The most important thing now was to improve his strength.
Ling Jiu divided himself into twenty duplicates. With his current strength, creating twenty duplicates were just too easy.
“The ten of you, you’re in charge of studying the Laws of Space.”
“You ten, you are responsible for condensing the star cores, and evolving the Dantian star system.”
“As you command!”
The twenty duplicates bowed in response before went to execute their orders.
“Leoux, what’s the arrangement with the Astral Flame Behemoth egg?”
“To get it to break out of its shell as fast as possible, let’s send it to Whitehole 1. The time passes the fastest there, and the energy concentration is the strongest there, so it’s the most suitable place for it.”
“Make sense!”
Ling Jiu rode on the Leoux to Whitehole 1 and put the egg down somewhere safe.
“The flow of time in Whitehole 1 is 130 times faster than that of Earth.”
Leoux smiled and said. “If you were to stay on Earth, it will take about a month for it to hatch. If you were to stay on Whitehole 2, it will take six to seven years.”
“Let’s just take its time. We can wait.”
Ling Jiu said. “Leoux, I want to continue devouring the yellow sand of Whitehole 1 to expand my floating island. Go do your thing then.”
“Your mission now is very important. Not only you need to supply my family’s Dark Bio-energy crystals, but also create Dark Psionic Crystals.”
“Don’t worry, there will be no delay.”
Leoux said. “But before that, I need to tell you about a place. There’s a larger amount of resources for you to devour.”
“Where?”
Ling Jiu was dumbfounded.
“There’s an asteroid belt not far from Whitehole 1, and there are trillions of asteroids there, and I think going there to devour things is far easier.”
“Plus, these asteroids not only contain soil and other substances, but they are also rich in ice and other forms of energy. Hence, they are very nourishing.”
“Let’s go there!”
