Chapter 457 - A Special Key (1/2)
A few months later.
All the “political parties” of the Protoss on Earth had been executed. None were left alive.
The evil rebellion that was recorded in the history of the Protoss had been resolved. It was represented by a scant few strokes in the history books and the specifics of the rebellion were brief.
Naturally, the victors were just. After seeing their hope light up only to be quickly extinguished, the vast numbers of the lower class Protoss returned to their lives full of darkness. They could only struggle for survival in the world where only the strong were respected.
After completing his task, that powerful Sage removed the defensive spell formation and disappeared in a flash of light. No one knew where he went.
Besides the certainty of being extremely terrified in this climate of fear, the Chen family had passed this frightening period without experiencing any serious losses.
Afterward, they quickly got their people to prepare gifts for the presentation. They found the Tonghuang and Mugu clans again and approached them to give their apologies. They took the initiative to offer their stakes and benefits. Their previous asylum relationship was restored.
Since then, everything seemed to have returned to normal.
The Chen family still did not implement any counter-attacks against the Protoss, nor did they regain their status. Instead, under the potential threat of the unit force formed by the Sages, they became even more low-key than before.
“Send them away.”
“Send the hundred-plus Institute-trained geniuses to the Zhuo planet.”
Zhuo was a planet located 105 light-years away, and it was relatively remote. However, it was a planet with an area of one-billion square kilometers that was also rich in water resources. After its transformation was completed, countless living areas could be developed.
“The proportion of human beings who are suitable for spiritual cultivation is very low. There are only about one in a thousand. If they were to stay on Earth as they secretly develop their skills, someone would notice a problem sooner or later as their spiritual cultivation progresses at a ridiculous speed. I hope that those masterminds can grow in a stable and environment free from anxieties.”
“Grandfather, if the geniuses are all sent away, who will keep us safe? We can’t send all of them away,” Chen Junfeng said.
For days, he had been having a terrible headache as he struggled to ensure the safety of the Chen family’s fortress. In the end, he had reached a rather negative conclusion.
He would feel a little better if they had a large number of geniuses in their hands, but Chen Jin was asking for all of them to be sent away?
Wouldn’t they be fully putting themselves in harm’s way?
It would be better to leave a dozen geniuses on Earth, even three to five of them would be good enough.
Chen Jin shook his head, “It’s useless. A genius who has not realized his full potential is not a genius. If their spiritual cultivation has not reached a level comparable to the practitioners from the Shenguang Order, it makes no difference if they stayed on Earth or not. It’s better to send them away and have them return to Earth when they are strong enough. Only in this way can they play the role they are meant to play.”
Hence, Earth was just a “production” base.
“Okay, then.”
Chen Junfeng nodded in disappointment, “I will arrange a spaceship tomorrow to send them to the Zhuo planet.”Read more chapter on novelhall.com
A deep sense of powerlessness suddenly welled up in his heart. He had hope; hope that was rarely felt and what he had thought was the imminent dawn of their counter-attack. But he did not expect that events would suddenly take such a big and unexpected turn. The internal administration and rulers of the Protoss were not thrown into chaos. Also, a Sage had suddenly arrived on Earth, forcing the Chen family to continue to keep their heads down.
They still had to pay their protection fees and put on a subservient act for a very long time.
Oh, how unwilling and unsatisfied he felt.
…
A few days later.
A spaceship carrying hundreds of geniuses left the earth. It first went to Mars, where they then took a super-light speed spaceship to the Zhuo planet hundreds of light-years away.
At the same time.
The Chen family also sent a small research spaceship straight into outer space It sped towards a time-space crack less than 10,000 kilometers from Earth.
It was through this temporarily opened crack that the concentration of the natural spiritual energy on the surface of Earth had increased by hundreds of times in just one year.
It had enabled Earth to have a high concentration of natural spiritual energy and to become a paradise.
It was extremely beneficial to the cultivation of the practitioners.
It could also be considered as welfare brought to Earth by that Sage.
In the beginning, the gas leaking through the space-time crack was mostly dominated by the beneficial “natural spiritual energy,” and the primordial particles were a very small component of the gas.
But almost a year had passed, and the natural spiritual energy had gradually become weaker.
The concentration and density of the primordial particles had begun to increase.
Towards the end, the primordial particles had slowly become the main component of the gas leaking through the time-space crack.
The research spacecraft dispatched by the Chen family was steered into the center of the time-space crack. An instrument was extended from the spacecraft to take measurements.
The concentration of the primordial particles had exceeded 90%.
The measurements in some areas were even more ridiculous; they consisted almost purely of primordial particles.
“Let’s start collecting them!”
Some instruments were stretched out from the research spacecraft, and just like straws, they began to vigorously suck up the gas particles.
The gas was made up of a large number of primordial particles were placed into multiple jars that were tightly sealed.
“Start the compression process.”
“We are at one standard atmosphere… Two standard atmosphere…”
“At 15 standard atmosphere, the primordial particles start to transform into a gel state from a gaseous state.”
“At 150 standard atmosphere, the primordial particles are completely compressed into a solid-state. It has a light grey appearance with a certain degree of gloss.”
“As compression continues into three hundred standard atmosphere, the primordial particles are transformed from a solid-state into a semi-transparent crystal state. Its density is now 100,000 times greater than what it was previously. This compression rate is extremely high; it is equivalent to compressing an elephant into the size of a cicada. The crystal formed in the latter half of the compression process can be labeled as the densest material. Moreover, it has very stable properties. The crystallized particles of the primordial chaos can maintain its crystallized state in an environment of low atmospheric pressure and normal temperatures.”
“Fantastic, it’s a very fantastical substance.”
Collect, continue to collect them!
The research spacecraft stopped at the time-space crack for several days. In total, it had compressed more than 100 primordial crystals (each crystal was as large as an adult’s fist and weighed more than a hundred kilograms). These were brought back to Earth, ready for research to be conducted on them.
Chen Jin took 50 of them and brought them to Haierfa.
…
Haierfa.
