In the interstellar battleship group, a flash of light appeared.
A human-like lifeform dressed in a full black uniform appeared before everyone.
This person was unard, raising his hands as if showing no malice.
He slowly flew to the Grass Hut Academy and imdiately said in perfect Mandarin, "Prophet, please hear my explanation!"
"That was just a coincidence just now, definitely not intentional!"
This voice wasn’t familiar, but Su Qiangwei was certain she had heard it before.
Before she could think deeply, the other person removed his helt, revealing shoulder-length blue hair and pitch-black eyes with no whites.
Adam, the Third Prince of the Chuanke Civilization!
"After leaving Earth, I didn’t imdiately return to the Chuanke Star System but chose to hunt down Chuan Qi in the Milky Way Galaxy to prevent him from leaking important intelligence to the Emperor."
Adam said with a bitter smile, "Chuan Qi was smart, playing a trick of hiding under the lamp. I almost searched the entire Milky Way Galaxy and finally discovered he was staying on the outskirts of the Solar System."
"After spotting the target, I imdiately pursued him all the way here to Neptune, intercepting him and using the Star Destroyer Cannon to completely kill him."
Third Prince Adam was only at the surface level peak; honestly, in a 1V1, he would most likely be overpowered by Chuan Qi, so he had to rely on external aid.
"Unexpectedly, everyone from the Grass Hut Academy was on a ’study tour’ over here at Neptune."
Upon saying this, Adam approached Ma Ran, slightly bent over, and said earnestly, "This was an issue with my intelligence gathering."
"I’m willing to accept any punishnt."
He had no choice.
Using the Star Destroyer Cannon indeed could kill Ma Ran, but there was still a conditional trigger ntal bomb left in his brain.
If sothing happened to Ma Ran, Adam reckoned he wouldn’t last two days either.
Ignorance absolves guilt? Nonsense!
Adam absolutely didn’t believe the conditional trigger ntal bomb within his soul was as simple as Ma Ran claid.
Ha! As long as there’s no malice, that thing won’t explode? Even if an unintended mistake led to Earth’s destruction and Ma Ran’s death, there would be no punishnt?
No way!
Adam wasn’t that naive.
He was certain, if Ma Ran died, he would definitely accompany him to the grave!
So now, Adam himself was sowhat apprehensive.
Ma Ran scrutinized this Third Prince of Chuanke for a while, and said quietly, "You didn’t lie."
"Alright, no need to explain further."
"Go and do what you should do."
Unlike Su Qiangwei, he didn’t possess grand superpowers or act as a human lie detector, unable to ensure that others were truthful with absolute certainty.
But the conditional trigger ntal bomb was real.
As long as Adam couldn’t control malicious thoughts towards Earth or Ma Ran, that thing would show him what "the deepest pain of the soul" ant.
The conditional trigger ntal bomb was a remarkably intricate creation, even with Ma Ran’s current capabilities, it required cooperation of 98,725 to manufacture, naturally not as simple as previously stated.
When Adam harbored malice, it wouldn’t directly blow him up; instead, it would split into two parts, the first severely harming Adam’s soul, the other slowly absorbing brainwaves emitted during Adam’s thought process, gradually growing.
In other words...
The conditional trigger ntal bomb would grow progressively stronger each ti.
Judging by Adam’s soul strength, by the third ti, he would be entirely annihilated, completely deceased.
Now it seed, although Adam was sowhat uneasy, his soul was intact and undamaged, so those previous statents were indeed the truth.
The truth was this simple.
Adam received the command to hunt down Chuan Qi and, with the aid of the battleship-mounted Star Destroyer Cannon, had completely annihilated Chuan Qi.
Grass Hut Academy was just caught in the crossfire.
After the energy connection with Ma Ran broke, Su Qiangwei felt sowhat lost, yet she summoned the Healing Scalpel glowing with white light to start healing the newly blind individuals, helping them regain their sight.
After their vision returned to normal, the mbers of the academic society instinctively distanced themselves from Li Xing, watching him from afar with complex expressions.
"Brother Xing, it truly is you! Your bad luck can’t even be suppressed by a Martial God and a Prophet!"
"You’re just a little unlucky one."
"Been at the Grass Hut Academy for so long without encountering any unfortunate events. I thought Li Xing’s bad luck was just a myth, but seems like it was holding back a big one here..."
"Oh my gosh! Is this a causality weapon already?"
These words were not malicious, mostly tinged with teasing.
In the previous war with the Zhang Heng Civilization, the Grass Hut Academy ended up on the victorious side. mbers who had lost limbs or even heads are now back in one piece. With proper rest afterward, they’ll be ready to fight again.
If we win, both parents stay safe; if we lose, the whole family goes down.
The explosion of Neptune and the Grass Hut Academy getting caught in the Star Destroyer Cannon’s aftermath was nothing more than a dessert after dinner.
What fierce storms hasn’t the elite of the Academic Society faced?
Getting decapitated a few tis was no big deal.
As long as you can win, there’s nothing to complain about.
But Li Xing has realized once again, clearly and deeply, just how LOW his luck truly is, with a face so dark it would scare people.
Wu Di was clutching his sword, which looked sowhat like a tiny gun, fearfully backing away from Li Xing.
He muttered, "Eternal Civilization’s technology is truly amazing," and, "It’s so lucky nothing happened during the last Eternal Expedition," "I probably used up all my lifeti’s good luck on that one ti," and other such things.
After the mishap, seemingly to make up for the mistake, Third Prince Adam, while still fearful, also extended a sincere invitation to everyone in the Academic Society, hoping to give everyone a ride back to Earth.
In such a matter, Ma Ran certainly wouldn’t refuse.
To actually use his instant teleportation ability to bring everyone back one by one would take an imnse amount of ti just to lock onto coordinates, even though the energy reserve could suffice.
By that ti, the oxygen enveloping the Grass Hut Academy floating in space would probably be nearly depleted.
...
One hour and forty-five minutes later.
Inside the Chuanke Interstellar Battleship Group.
Eldest Prince Li Tang stared intently at Adam.
After a while, he finally said quietly, "Still thinking about her?"
Adam was taken aback, shook his head: "I haven’t thought about her for a long ti. The Jin Yina of this tiline is not the Jin Yina I knew. After I ascend to the throne, helping you sever the ’Emotional Tribulation’ is only to avoid leaving a flaw in my psyche."
Li Tang squinted his eyes, as if he was looking at sothing irretrievable, in a peculiar tone he said, "I haven’t even said who ’she’ is."
On the other side.
The mbers of the Academic Society were also touring inside the battleship, discussing.
"Not quite like I imagined, the decorations inside this battleship have quite an artistic touch, not very cold at all..."
"Chuanke Civilization has developed for 160,000 years, after all. Didn’t you hear the staff say? They’ve unified the entire Chuanke Star System. Converted to our side, it would be akin to unifying the Milky Way Galaxy, incredible!"
"This trip was truly a blast! We fought against the Outer Star legion, experienced the explosion of several billion tons of nuclear weapons up close, witnessed the destruction of stars, and danced face to face with Death twice... It was so damn spectacular!"
"My realm didn’t change much, but my spiritual will has strengthened significantly. I feel like when I go back, I can use that ’mask’ to test my will again, it should have reached the Superpower Awakening standard."
"Hmph! Only died twice? What a loser! My head’s been cut off three tis!"
"Are you proud of that?"
"Speaking of which, isn’t anyone worried about Earth? Neptune is a planet in the Solar System too. Its explosion won’t truly affect Earth’s ecology?"
"Neptune’s disappearance affects the Earth’s orbit and inclination nearly negligibly. Earth remains within the habitable zone, so there’s no need to worry excessively."
"Whoa! That’s amazing?"
"Yes. The three planets that significantly affect Earth are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Between Mars and Jupiter, there’s an asteroid belt; the number of asteroids there could be up to billions. Without the gravitational restraint of Jupiter and Mars, well... a crisis akin to the extinction of dinosaurs could play out for human tis as well."
"Actually, Mars and Saturn aren’t too bad; if they’re gone, so be it. The forr’s role is similar to Jupiter’s, but not as major. Saturn itself has a ring that can be seen as an asteroid belt. Jupiter... that guy is formidable. As the largest planet in the Solar System, it’s considered Earth’s guardian deity. In the past 4.6 billion years, Jupiter has blocked nurous asteroid impacts for Earth. Without it, humanity wouldn’t know how many tis it would have followed in the dinosaurs’ footsteps."
Lying half-reclined in the refurbishnt cabin, Ma Ran took the opportunity to organize the fourth script "Ga Main God," adding and removing content appropriately.
Hearing the mbers’ discussion, Ma Ran slowly opened his eyes, gazing through the one-way transparent armor of the interstellar battleship, focusing on the blue planet.
"The ti is ripe."
"It’s ti for Earth to enter a comprehensive Extraordinary Era."
