Chapter 397 - 108: Baptism of Knowledge! The Rain Continues! Yin Yao Cosplays the Free Bird!
T-1001 Star Realm.
Morning Star Realm, Dawn Fortress.
Boom——
Rumble——!
Above the spaceport of the Ring of the Sky, warships are either taking off or landing.
The countless streams of blue and white engine energy from the warships paint the dark starry sky with a tinge of pale blue.
Not far from the spaceport.
Several super large interstellar war fortresses are quietly docked.
Whoosh——
Whoosh whoosh——!
The warships arriving at the spaceport are also flying out from these super large fortresses or returning to the fortress ship hangars after reaching the spaceport.
"Woo, woo woo..."
Inside the warship, the chaotic cacophony of whimpering echoes.
Young men and women stare wide-eyed at the scene outside the porthole.
The countless fortress battleships in sight bring them an indescribable shock.
But...
All these emotions of shock are eventually replaced by numbness.
Once upon a time,
they were citizens of the Farben Civilization.
And now?
They have become prisoners and slaves of ’Dawn Fortress.’
At least, that’s what they believe in their hearts.
What their future holds, they do not know.
All they know is——
All 10.5 billion citizens of the Farben Civilization, regardless of age or gender, have been packed into these warships, crossing the starry sky to arrive here.
Of course.
It wasn’t just the Farben Civilization.
If one were to look farther, they would see——
At the edge of the endless starry sky.
A fleet of a thousand super large interstellar fortresses is also roaring back towards the location of Dawn Fortress.
The warships within these fortresses are similarly filled with people.
And like the citizens of the Farben Civilization, their hearts are filled with the same bleakness about the future.
...
...
Dawn Fortress.
Tower of Knowledge.
This is the second tall tower that rose in the main city area of the fortress after the Tower of the Sky, and it is the only other tower-shaped building besides the Tower of the Sky.
Before yesterday, this tower did not exist.
But now...
It stands quietly.
This tower was made by Yu Jin.
And its current owner, or rather, its true manager and user, is Wu Yufei, who manages ’Knowledge.’
Whoosh——
Whoosh whoosh——!
At this moment.
Streams of light sweep across the sky above the fortress.
Each stream of light is a small spaceship.
And the spaceships come from the spaceport.
The spaceships are filled with anxious and uneasy citizens of the Farben Civilization.
"What’s that?"
"A tall tower..."
"Are we going to be judged there, or have our lives taken, our organs harvested?"
No one cares about the thoughts of the Farben citizens.
Time passes slowly.
The sky, streaked with light without pause.
By the next day.
All 10.5 billion citizens of the Farben Civilization have entered the Tower of Knowledge.
"Mission completed!"
"Yufei, it’s all up to you now!"
Tower of Knowledge, at the top.
Standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, Chen Gang looked at Wu Yufei, who was beside him, lost in thought, and spoke excitedly.
"Mm."
Wu Yufei simply replied softly.
In his black eyes, it seemed like endless vortices were spinning—that was the power unique to knowledge.
Not long ago.
He had already completely absorbed the knowledge from the Serenity Civilization.
In the past day.
With Chen Gang’s help, he absorbed the knowledge possessed by the Farben Civilization.
And this allowed his tier to break through, advancing from Tier Eighteen to Tier Nineteen, becoming the fourth Tier Nineteen Evolver in Dawn Fortress after Yu Jin, Yin Yao, and Naiya.
Tier Nineteen is the limit of the Star System Wasteland Server.
But...
"Knowledge has no limit."
Wu Yufei murmured to himself.
"Click click——"
"Your mystical aura is getting stronger and stronger..."
"Who knows what you’ll become in the future."
Chen Gang was clearly not very taken with this version of Yufei.
He still preferred the Yufei from their time at Jiangcheng University, the one who ’loved exams even more than his brothers.’
Of course.
Chen Gang understood, and so did Wu Yufei.
Those times are gone forever, and can only remain in memory.
"Alright!"
"I’m off, Old Yu has given orders, I’ll continue to subdue new civilization forces, trying to bring back more people for you!"
With those words.
Crackle——
Amidst a flash of lightning.
Chen Gang’s figure had already disappeared.
Only then did Wu Yufei finally retract his gaze from the distant starry sky.
"The group Old Cui brought..."
"Should take some more time to arrive."
Wu Yufei muttered to himself, having made a decision in his heart.
"Then let’s..."
"First deal with these Farben citizens."
...
...
Tower of Knowledge.
Despite appearing immense from the outside.
But...
Its interior might be described as ’vast and boundless.’
When its creator, Yu Jin, built it, he used the power of space-time attributes, just like he did when constructing ’Infinite Dawn City.’
This allows——
The interior space of the Tower of Knowledge to be fully folded.
Theoretically, it can accommodate hundreds of billions of people.
And now.
Whoosh——
Whoosh whoosh——
When Yufei’s figure appeared in the air above the lobby on the first floor of the tower.
An overwhelming scene of 10.5 billion Farben citizens erupted into a tumultuous din.
At the front of the hall.
The Lord of the Farben Civilization, Isaac Griffin, was also present.
As the Lord, he was also part of the 10.5 billion citizens.
And Chen Gang, with the mindset that ’missing one is worse than having one more,’ had brought this Lord here as well, to receive the impending ’baptism of knowledge.’
"Tier Nineteen..."
"Incomprehensible attribute energy..."
Isaac Griffin looked at Wu Yufei standing in the air, his expression devoid of joy or sorrow, and silently reached a conclusion in his heart.
Even though he himself is Tier Nineteen, even though that terrifying ’half-step Tier Twenty’ interstellar mecha is not seen here again.
