Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 382 Seizing Control of Earth
The others wholeheartedly agreed. If a beast at the God-King level were to refine the Earth and become its ruler, they wouldn't fare well even if they escaped to the moon.

After all, the moon is just a satellite of Earth. It can be attacked at any time.

Escaping aboard a space carrier is likely to be fraught with misfortune; the solar system is currently trapped in the Black Mist Starfield, and who knows how many powerful alien beasts lurk outside.

Our planet Earth is our home, and we cannot afford to lose it.

Immediately, everyone sat down in a circle, and Jiang Cai'er hosted a brief talk about the upcoming schedule.

No one offered much of an opinion. Firstly, Jiang Cai'er was extremely intelligent, and no one could find any obvious fault with her. Secondly, the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

“Since everyone agrees, let’s set off immediately. The sooner the better,” Jiang Cai’er said.

So, everyone got up and followed Jiang Cai'er out in single file. Soon, they boarded a newly built God-class starship.

This God-class starship is even larger than the "Xuanming," with a length of four to five hundred kilometers. It is moored at the space port, exuding a powerful aura.

Everyone followed Jiang Cai'er onto the ship. Eileen and her daughter Chiba Yukio were very curious and looked around.

After all, the starship is unique to Country C. As foreigners, and having deliberately avoided Jiang Cai'er, they had never boarded the ship or even observed it up close.

Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui, however, had already witnessed this and remained calm.

Eileen asked in surprise, "Such a large warship, doesn't it need crew?" There was no one inside.

Her magical alchemy ship was far smaller than this, but apart from the alchemical golems, many parts still required manual operation.

Jiang Cai'er smiled slightly and said, "No need. It can be fully automated. But it can also be necessary."

After all, such a large starship is meant to serve humanity. When interstellar migration takes place, such a mothership can carry 20 to 30 million people.

The reason it is said that it is not needed is because a supercomputing center consisting of 10,000 quantum computers has been built on this mothership. It is equivalent to a digital life clone of hers, which can be piloted and deal with various emergencies without the need for crew.

"This ship can go underground?" Chiba Yukio asked curiously.

"of course can."

As soon as Jiang Cai'er finished speaking, the mothership trembled slightly, and then, with a "whoosh," it rose into the air and arrived in space at an altitude of over 100,000 meters.

"Weren't we supposed to be going underground?" everyone asked in surprise.

Jiang Cai'er said, "Right away."

Everyone extended their divine senses to observe the performance of the mothership and how it went underground.

With a whoosh, this massive mothership could stop, reverse, and accelerate at will, its maneuverability exceeding the understanding of many scientists. Just moments before it had burst into space from the Earth's surface, and now it was hurtling back towards Earth at top speed.

Eileen and her daughter, Chiba Yukio, couldn't help but gasp softly, because the mothership was about to crash into Earth.

Some of them couldn't help but wonder if Jiang Cai'er was planning to crash into everyone and kill them all. But they immediately realized that was impossible, because Jiang Cai'er herself was also on the boat.

An astonishing scene unfolded. Ripples spread through space, and the massive starship plunged deep into the Earth's depths, instantly appearing in a unique world—the dark universe deep within the Earth's core.

It's not that the engine has unique performance; rather, the mothership itself possesses this extraordinary ability.

This is a god-level mothership of a very high rank. Its main body possessed this ability while it was alive. When Jiang Cai'er was remodeling it, she discovered that there were many unique "inscriptions" between its bones and flesh. Some of them were imprinted on the bones. As long as they were activated with spiritual energy, they could produce all sorts of wonderful effects.

There are even "invisibility" inscriptions.

This is not a purely technological space carrier, but rather a fusion of the essence of extraordinary alien civilization and human technological civilization. A purely technological space carrier like the Cloud Whale would not possess this capability.

Jiang Cai'er's research team is exploring how to inscribe these inscriptions on purely technological space carriers or fighter jets to achieve the same effect.

A team of over 300 extraordinary scientists is working day and night to overcome this challenge. They have made some progress, but the energy consumption is significant, and they are still working on optimization.

They collected and summarized over six hundred inscriptions, compiling them into a book for everyone to consult and reference. However, it wasn't easily accessible to just anyone; access was required.

The women were in the cockpit, looking out at the world through the huge transparent porthole.

In the dark universe, Li Xiang and Luo Feifei were already engaged in a fierce battle with several beast kings at the God King level.

At the edge of the battlefield, besides Jiang Cai'er and the others, there were three other god-level beings, or rather, four.

The four had just arrived. Upon seeing the God-class mothership appear, they were both shocked and delighted. They then flew towards the cockpit, where Jiang Cai'er opened the hatch and ordered a robot to bring them in.

These four were an old man in imperial robes, a dragon spirit from the capital, a literary fairy from Jinling City, and a spear as thick as a child's arm and several feet long. This spear was the Spear of Longinus that Li Xiang had brought back from Europe. It was also the fourth of the "One Qi Transforms into Five Dragons" of the Kunlun Ancestral Vein. After being rescued by Li Xiang, the old man in imperial robes placed it in the Qinling Ancestral Vein to nurture it. It would normally take a very long time to recover.

However, after the apocalypse, extraordinary particles emerged, greatly accelerating this process. Moreover, these predecessors also made further progress, becoming even stronger than at their peak.

Unfortunately, they are still gods.

Jiang Cai'er wanted to gather all the gods to come and help, so naturally she wouldn't miss these seniors. She had already sent digital life clones to the Qinling Ancestral Vein, the former Imperial Capital, and Jinling City to invite these four dragon vein spirits.

These seniors were well aware of the danger, so they readily agreed. As spirits of the earth's veins, they possessed the ability to travel to the dark universe at the earth's core, so they did not board Jiang Cai'er's starship.

In the center of the battlefield, Li Xiang and Luo Feifei were engaged in a fierce battle with several beast kings at the God King level. However, despite being outnumbered two to five, they did not gain the upper hand and faced several life-or-death crises.

The reason why Li Xiang was able to fight for hundreds of rounds and retreat with ease when he charged in alone was because the Divine King Realm beasts were fighting separately and were a disorganized bunch. But now, they have united due to the situation, and it is no longer possible for Li Xiang to take advantage of the chaos.

Moreover, previously the main objective was harassment, which allowed for retreat, but now retreat is not an option! If they retreat, the enemy will intensify their efforts to refine the Heart of Earth.

Li Xiang and Luo Feifei felt extremely strained, narrowly escaping death several times. However, this was from their perspective. From the perspective of those God-King level beings, it was a disgrace that two mere humans were so difficult to defeat, and they couldn't take them down even after fighting for so long.

They had never even considered such insignificant humans as worthy of their attention. This wasn't the Azure Spirit Starfield; even in the Azure Spirit Starfield, the only ones who could defeat them were those old creatures who had lived in seclusion for countless years.

The several Divine King-level beast kings were furious and puzzled: "When we invaded this planet before, there was no Divine King-level power on it at all, only three or four weak Divine-rank Mountain and River Spirits. How come in just a few years, there are already two Divine King-level beings and so many other Divine-rank beings?"

"Four seniors, seven... sisters, let's follow our previous strategy and lend Brother Xiang a hand!" In this urgent situation, Jiang Cai'er briefly reiterated the strategy to everyone, but made specific adjustments based on the battlefield conditions.

As soon as Jiang Cai'er finished speaking, the four dragon spirits took the lead in battle. They paired up and each entangled the two weakest God-King level beasts. When Luo Feifei saw the reinforcements arrive, she was invigorated. She was also very clever and immediately understood Jiang Cai'er's strategic intention. She immediately used Frostbite to create a circle, and the huge spatial rift separated the other two God-King level beasts.

"Brother Xiang, take care of the strongest one first!" Jiang Cai'er transmitted her thoughts telepathically, her clear voice gentle, "We'll all help you!"

Led by Jiang Cai'er, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, Ai Lin, Qianye Xuexu, Zhao Lu, and Xi Wu flew out together and landed beside Li Xiang, a group of beautiful women.

The women together activated the "Starry Sky Concerto - Luan Ming Jiu Shao" technique, remotely transferring their spiritual power to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang was dazzled by what he saw and could hardly believe it.

"At a time like this, don't get distracted. Focus on fighting the enemy!" Jiang Cai'er glared at her, thinking to herself, "You've finally gotten your way!"
In an instant, Li Xiang's spiritual power increased greatly, and he became even more ferocious.

The most powerful Star Rock Tyrant Dragon King, the king of beasts at the God King realm, had previously been in the lead and was pressing Li Xiang, but at this moment, Li Xiang suddenly "rose up" and delivered several critical blows, knocking it down several times and sending it rolling tens of thousands of kilometers away.

The dark universe is boundless and exists independently of the real universe.

It roared repeatedly, conveying a mental fluctuation: "Damn it, are you on drugs?" Its massive body, as large as a continent, swept over once again.

However, Li Xiang is not afraid at all, and instead fights even more fiercely.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cai'er's digital life clone (the shipborne mobile supercomputing center on the God-class starship) controls various shipborne weapons on the God-class mothership, and unmanned combat aircraft are also dispatched to harass these God-King level alien beasts, relieving the pressure on her companions.

The shipborne high-energy particle cannons and laser cannons are quite powerful. Although they cannot effectively harm these God-King level beasts, they can still inflict pain. Moreover, they specifically target vital areas, such as the eyes, throat, and genitals, forcing the God-King level beasts to divert some of their energy to defend themselves. This serves as a distraction and diverts their attention.

Li Xiang had the upper hand, but on the other side, two of the four god-level earth vein spirits were seriously injured and coughing up blood. Luo Feifei was fighting two against one and was also frequently in danger, her beautiful hair was all messed up.

Although she is a genius, she has only just entered the God King realm. The two strange beasts are old guys second only to the Star Rock Tyrant Dragon King, and they have lived for 20,000 to 30,000 years. They are five or six minor realms higher than her. Luo Feifei's ability to last this long is already an amazing performance.

"Feifei, come here!" Li Xiang roared, his spiritual power transforming into a long rope that shot out like a dragon, instantly pulling Luo Feifei away from the siege of the two Divine King Realm beasts.

The other girls couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Luo Feifei exclaimed in surprise, slightly embarrassed, but the situation was critical and she couldn't care less. So she also activated the "Starry Sky Concerto - Luan Ming Jiu Shao" technique, merging her spiritual power and will with Li Xiang and the others.

Ten people combined!

Wow, Li Xiang has never experienced anything so exciting before. He wouldn't even dare to dream about it normally.

This is nine women together.

Li Xiang was so stimulated that he suddenly couldn't help but howl repeatedly, and his cultivation level rose several levels. Of course, this was also related to his previous accumulation.

He was previously at level 44, but now he has suddenly jumped to level 47. After a brief battle, he advanced another level, reaching level 48! The peak of the God King realm!
It must be said that the effect of ten people practicing together is amazing.

The sheer power emanating from this "ten-person fusion" terrified even several Divine King-level beasts. What on earth is this? Humans can do this?

When did upgrading become so easy?
The four spirits of the earth veins were speechless. "..." So everyone else is family, and we're the outsiders.

Fairy Wen Shu felt a bit envious, but she didn't know the "Starry Sky Concerto - Luan Ming Jiu Shao" technique and didn't have that kind of spiritual power, so she couldn't integrate it.

In just a few moves, the Star Rock Tyrant Dragon King's head was blown off, and it died a violent death.

Jiang Cai'er felt a bit of a pity. This was a God-King level starship; its head had exploded. Even if it were repaired with technology, its strength would be slightly weaker than before, and some of the inscriptions had also dissipated. Its power would be greatly reduced if it were later converted into a starship.

Even so, it is still a colossal creature with a length of two to three thousand kilometers. After the renovation is completed, it is estimated that it can accommodate at least one hundred million people.

Li Xiang was also very disappointed. What a wonderful Divine King Realm spirit beast it was! If only he could have subdued it alive!
But clearly, that's not very realistic.

After killing the largest one, Li Xiang and his group quickly encircled the other four. The four earth spirits withdrew from the battle and were finally able to catch their breath.

They flanked the enemy, harassing them alongside the starship and drones. Meanwhile, in the center of the battle, the roles of offense and defense shifted.

Previously, Li Xiang and Luo Feifei were being overwhelmed by five God-King level alien beasts. Now, with the strongest one gone, Li Xiang has reached the peak of the God-King realm, and with the combined assistance of the nine women, he is now able to suppress the four beasts all by himself.

During this process, the nine women's strength also improved by leaps and bounds, and each of them gained endless benefits.

After a half-day of fierce fighting, all four Divine King Realm beasts were killed.

The enormous corpse floated in the dark universe and was subsequently stored in the interdimensional warehouse by Li Xiang.

He originally intended to subdue one, but after learning from the information shared by Jiang Cai'er that converting it into a God-King level starship would be more cost-effective, he killed them all.

The reason it took so long to kill it was because I was too reckless when fighting the Star Rock Tyrant Dragon King earlier. Due to the circumstances, I made a mistake and smashed its head.

In order not to affect the performance of the future God-King level starship, when killing these few, they tried their best to "leave them with a whole corpse".

After a fierce battle, the nine women were exhausted, but Li Xiang remained full of fighting spirit.

"Pervert!" the nine women spat in unison, then went back to the starship to rest. After the fusion they had just experienced, Li Xiang could clearly feel that their relationship had become much closer.

At the beginning, even Li Xiang could feel the sense of alienation, and the group was divided into several small factions.

"Thank you for coming to help, seniors." Li Xiang stepped forward to catch up with the four divine-level earth vein spirits, and at the same time took out eight divine-king level spiritual herbs, giving two to each of them as a return gift.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Thank you."

"I should be the one thanking these seniors."

These divine king-level spiritual herbs were naturally obtained from killing the five divine king-level beasts just now. In addition, there was a huge amount of achievement points and five divine king-level spiritual weapons.

This was the first time he had obtained a Divine King Realm spiritual weapon, but it was not easy to distribute.

He has nine women, and this is only five. How is he going to divide them? The little bit of "harmony" that has just been established might immediately fall apart again.
