Him and their stars.

Chapter 1874: The Destruction of the Blue Star Community

This is of course a joke. Pirates are fierce but not stupid, and the more successful they are, the more they understand this truth.

In fact, Firebeard even personally invited Colonel Singh over respectfully, and then told the latter that the pirates of the Abyss Nebula had gathered together, of course, preparing to invade the empire to rob or something.

Yu Lian could imagine Colonel Singh's expression at the time. He estimated that even if he was there, he would not perform well.

As expected, he is one of the biggest pirate kings in the future Abyss Nebula! He is so bold!

In short, while Colonel Singh was almost unable to hold back his shock, Firebeard Edward solemnly asked the latter if he wanted to go to the Empire together.

So, the poor colonel, as an intelligence worker, really couldn't hold it back. He was stunned for a long time, and then he asked the Firebeard boss if he was playing a trick on him. However, the other party still said seriously but sincerely: The colonel did not have any troops or warships, but at least he could be a chief of staff in the temporary headquarters of the pirate joint fleet.

The pirate leaders expressed their warm welcome. They all felt that an elite professional officer like Colonel Xin, who was well-read in military books, would definitely help everyone become regular.

When the cargo is fully loaded, even if the colonel has sent out troops, he will be able to share the spoils.

This is the absolutely unshakable black (cat) rule of the Abyss Nebula.

Firebeard Edward probably really wants to bring these outsiders into the industry.

Colonel Singh said in his report that the pirates in the Great Freedom City were actually good people and spoke nicely, and he liked it very much. However, this was all thanks to Commander Yu Lian.

"Colonel Singh is a smart man." Feifei smiled.

Yu Lian felt that Edward the Firebeard was the real smart guy. He was smart, courageous, and good at fighting. As long as he didn't get unlucky, it was only a matter of time before he became the Pirate King.

In short, apart from wishing everyone success, Colonel Singh also chose to give up. After all, it is better to be safe when you first arrive.

Edward expressed his understanding on behalf of the pirate community, and told the other party seriously that there would be plenty of such opportunities in the future.

Then came the news about Captain Planck.

This man had property and a residence in Da Zi Zai City, and even left seven or eight guards behind to look after the house. After getting off the ship, of course, everyone went back to their own homes.

However, the latter was, after all, a man who aspired to be a triple agent. He soon rented a cabin next to the "Human Rights Office" and moved in with all his subordinates.

"Please take good care of us in the future. Let's support each other and keep moving forward." First Mate Fantine said to Colonel Singh.

Captain Plank puffed out his chest and guaranteed, "If there is a fight in the future, we can live closer so that we can look after each other. Brother Singh, if you are short of weapons, please make a list for me. No one knows better than me where to get good weapons in the Great Freedom City. No one!"

"Do fighting often happen in the Great Freedom City?" Colonel Singh was very curious and even a little eager to try.

"Always be prepared. After all, we have served together on the ship, obeyed the orders of the same officer, and are comrades who have experienced life and death. Who else can I trust if not you?" Captain Planck said sincerely.

As for this so-called joint expedition of the Great Pirates of the Abyss, Captain Planck made a judgment based on the professional qualities of an elite practitioner and believed that the possibility of this happening was very high.

He told Colonel Singh that many gangs in the Abyss had backgrounds of bigwigs in the Empire, and Edward Firebeard was no exception, but that did not mean they would not harm the Empire in the slightest.

In fact, considering the geographical issues, the Abyss Pirates' hunting targets are more merchant ships on the Empire side. But as long as Qiu Feng doesn't hit the real big shots, he will be happy to see it happen.

After all, this can maintain the vitality and martial virtue of ordinary citizens, just like bloodletting therapy~~~

Edward "Firebeard"'s intuition told him that the "Dawn Dragon" would surely turn the empire upside down, which would give pirates like them room to take advantage of the situation.

"However, since you have just arrived, it would be right for you not to go. Besides, in a month or two at most, a colleague from the organization will contact me. Would you like to be there as a witness?"

Colonel Singh said that he had never seen such a variety of intelligence organizations, so he did not dare to take charge and could only ask for instructions from Yu Lian.

"Why not? For an intelligence structure to mature, it must of course deal with various types of illegal organizations." Yu Lian said with a smile.

"Yes, in the final analysis it is just an idle move." Feifei said.

It sounds like I am treating Colonel Singh as cannon fodder, but I guess he would be happy to accept it if he heard about it.

All in all, the social groups in Da Zi Zai City were still full of vitality, and had not lost the atmosphere of life due to the sudden visit of the Wide Area Silence. As a half-resident of Da Zi Zai City, Yu Lian was very pleased with this.

Of course, there are also various cosmic creatures that are more lively. Perhaps because the ghost ship is gone, Yu Lian always feels that the starry sky he has passed by recently seems to be more active. At least, in the first star system he just left the Great Freedom City, he encountered a group of Leviathans that marched with their heads held high, with a scale of about a hundred.

They should be part of the Ti Yangkai army that participated in the previous war, right? But now they passed by the starry sky less than 10 kilometers away from them as if there was no ship, and their posture was very leisurely, like a group of well-fed herbivores.

...Hope they continue to stay that way.

Yu Lian had just made such a blessing when Ti Yangkai and others suddenly took a combat stance, but of course they were not heading towards the Silence, but rather pounced towards the large group of floating crystal clusters that appeared on the other side of the starry sky.

Well, judging from Ti Yangkai’s appearance, crystal clusters might really be one of their food sources.

In short, a literal space hunt was staged in front of everyone. This was a wonderful and spectacular scene that was almost impossible to see in the "civilized world" universe, but the soldiers' threshold of surprise was probably raised too high, and for a moment they really couldn't get excited.

In short, happy hunting. Yu Lian gave new blessings to Ti Yangkai and others and continued to move forward.

Ten hours later, the Silence met a family of Dome Whales passing by in the next galaxy. There were one adult and two children, but the ship was not sure whether they were the ones rescued from the pirates before.

Considering the vulgar words left by the old dome whale grandmother just now, the soldiers all had strange expressions. However, based on the good neighborliness between humans and dome whales, they still greeted them with neutrino signals.

Three minutes later, Qiongjing sent a response. Because there was already a ready-made decoding formula, it took less than 40 seconds to parse the signal.

"XX is the same group again."

"Your ship is so fucking ugly, it looks like the excrement from a supernova."

"Bye, wish you kisses from comets, asshole!"

They should be blessing and saying goodbye, right?

Of course, this can also confirm once again that the dome whale is indeed not a cosmic roller, but a cosmic killer whale. Whenever Yu Lian thought of the time when Edelweiss opened its row of bright gem-like eyes and made a cute "Woo-ga" sound directly at him, it was not a cute act but a curse, and he felt that all the beautiful memories of the past could not be looked at directly.

But who can say that this is not a major discovery in cosmic biology?

However, since she really encountered the Dome Whale, Feifei took the opportunity to tell Yu Lian about her discovery: based on the expansion of the spectrum and the replication of the lepton, Feifei did draw out a diagram of a psychic array.

"It's more complicated than I imagined. Although I'm not sure if it can function normally, from the perspective of the technical structure of the subspace, it is in line with spiritual principles."

"Subspace technique?"

"Yes, that array is a bit similar to the engraving on the Void Order. It's just more complicated." Feifei said.

In other words, the array could potentially lead directly to the virtual world. This could perhaps serve as evidence for some speculations—since many cosmic Leviathans did not conform to basic biological principles, many biologists believed that such creatures came from the virtual world, and were parallel universe creatures from another dimension.

Of course, this is not the point.

"So, it's more like the entrance to the virtual world? Rather than the exit?" Feifei nodded: "As for the thousands of configurations extending out, I don't quite understand it. In this field, we are far from being masters."

"So, what about the safety factor?"

“You can only rely on your intuition.”

"Intuition is important. You taught me that."

Of course, Yu Lian trusts Feifei's intuition.

"No feelings, no joy or sorrow."

"That is to say, it is unlikely to open the door directly to the mouth of a Void Realm King." Yu Lian couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

"...The fish seemed to be looking forward to this possibility."

"After all, there are too many core parts missing from our Silence. After all, with the example of Tomiteli Khan, I really can't give up the possibility of biological parts. Since we can't touch Grandma Dome Whale, those hideous virtual monsters don't matter... Well, now that I say that, I suddenly feel that the old lady is a bit of a scapegoat!"

Feifei said helplessly: "Have you ever considered the possibility that we will be eaten as dessert by the Lord of the Void Realm? But it does make sense. It's a pity that we can't verify it now."

"Indeed, we cannot maintain an array of this size by ourselves. We need at least two or three helpers." Yu Lian pondered.

As for Colonel Mina Walter and her subordinates... just three or four rings away, don't get involved.

"Besides, we don't have enough zero element. Such a large-scale psychic array requires at least 10g of psychic liquid, right?"

“Perhaps we need some crystal powder and a little bit of glowing stardust to stabilize the structure of the array in the air.” Yu Lian pondered as if he was reading a recipe.

He reached into his space bag and then showed an embarrassed expression.

"Let me make it clear first. I do have a piece of Void Crystal and some high-quality gems, but they are the last legacy my great-grandfather left me. He said I can use them when I reach the eighth ring. But I know that they were left by my great-grandfather for himself, but unfortunately I never reached this level. My great-grandfather placed all his regrets and obsessions in those gems and entrusted them to me! Now I am just a little woman who puts personal interests above public ones, and I really can't bear to give them out."

Now that you have said so much, how can I have the nerve to use it!

"By the way, this amount of material is not enough to make the Eighth Ring, right? And we are also lacking the main dish."

The so-called main course, of course, must be the spiritual material of a lord-level virtual world monster or a giant space Leviathan. After all, it is an eight-ring, which can be considered half of the ceremony of conferring a god. Of course, it must be held in the virtual world, so safety issues must be considered.

Yu Lian didn't want to settle for less, and he didn't want Feifei to settle for less either.

"I'm afraid we'll have to look for him slowly in the future. After all, my great-grandfather was just a ranger, and it would be difficult for him to become a lord of the Void Realm. But it's different for me." Feifei put her hands on her hips proudly.

Indeed, judging from the resources that can be mobilized alone, Feifei must be the most powerful Black Moon in history.

This is of course because she is a talented film artist.

"Of course, this is because I am the Marshal's wife." Feifei said as a matter of course.

"..."

"But you, Fish, where are your materials? You don't seem to have taken this matter seriously."

"Be it the zero element, the battleship, or the Enlightener's black technology, it will always come when the time comes. Feifei, I suddenly realized that I have never thought about collecting upgrade materials in my life, and I am used to it. This is really the time when heaven and earth will work together." Yu Lian's tone also seemed as if it was a matter of course.

Feifei stared at Yu Lian for several seconds before she sighed, perhaps out of helplessness, resignation, or enjoyment: "I declined the donation from the Great Freedom City, but accepted a crystal of eternal blood, which is of similar quality to the relic my great-grandfather gave me. This may be used as a secondary material for your eighth ring."

Yu Lian was naturally very moved: "Look, Feifei can really be mine..."

"Don't evade the main point! You need to think carefully about how to prove that you love me!"

"Uh, high-speed spinning attack..."

"You can't say that even if you're talking! I don't like it!"

"…But don't you like it when you actually do it?"

"Yeah, so I don't understand. Why are you so skilled? How many times have you used it on white foxes and orange cats? Where did you use it?"

"Well, regardless of whether this suspicion is reasonable or not, I just don't understand why your first reaction is the white fox and the orange cat? There is no such thing as a little fox, a coquettish fox, or a fishy fox?"

"So, the fish is admitting that he wants to attack them? You! You silver carp!"

Not to mention how embarrassing the couple's behavior was afterwards, after all, they had no way to activate the array for the time being, so they had to continue their theoretical research.

This is of course a good thing. The more thorough the theoretical research is, the fewer necessary zero elements may be needed, and it will certainly reduce the mental and physical requirements.

Besides, no matter what, studying complex mystical arrays is also a kind of practice. Yu Lian and Fei Fei are not good at this, but sometimes practice and practice are actually very similar, that is, you have to do your best to overcome the areas you are not good at.

What's more, after all, it was given by Grandma Qiongjing. Who dares to say that this is not an expansion of the boundaries of mysticism?

Of course, the current Silence no longer needs Yu Lian's command, and even the workload of ordinary crew members has been reduced a lot. This is of course due to the performance of this divine warship.

She was still soaring in the most dangerous starry sky in the entire galaxy, but it was as if she was sailing on the most stable and spacious trade route, and she didn't even bother to sound the warnings of dangerous radiation and gravitational disturbances.

This extremely smooth and safe voyage lasted for a whole week. Even the most cautious Captain Nemo was completely relieved, and the morale of the soldiers was high.

Of course, there are more reasons to boost their morale than just this.

Even when the Silence passed through dangerous star systems filled with high-risk radiation, the radiation warning device on board did not sound. Everyone was wrapped in the shield and dome of this ancient warship, just like being protected by the perfect atmosphere of a holy planet.

This is indeed the case. The temperature and humidity on the Silence do maintain a balance that is most comfortable for terrestrial carbon-based mammals.

When everyone only had the Xunli, Yu Lian and his soldiers seemed to be walking in the abyss of hell, not daring to breathe at all. He even prepared to put a golden toilet in the navigator's position.

But even so, they were still unable to avoid triple-digit non-combat casualties, nor could they prevent their comrades from not dying in the Empire's artillery fire but from dying miserably from the various complications of radiation sickness.

And now, when the Pilgrimage has become just the inner core of the Silence, such an arduous death march seems like a vacation and recuperation on the holy planet.

Then, just when Yu Lian and Feifei had unlocked one-third of the psychic array like they were dismantling a giant Luban lock, they received the latest report from the captain: "The voyage is smoother than expected. We should be able to reach the Helots star zone in mid-October."

Of course, it wasn't just the cruise that went smoothly, but also the communications. After Silence escaped from the dangerous star field formed by a series of giant stars, it finally restored a little bit of communication power.

When Yu Lian received the second report from the intelligence department of Great Freedom City, he also connected to the Nebula Network with difficulty. He then saw the huge headline on the front page of the Star Network News: "The Blue Star Community is officially declared extinct."
