Chapter 83: Interstellar Conference

This ultra-long-range jump of A-Star crossed a full 2.23 million Light Years, arriving at the inner side of the Galactic Disk of the Second Spiral Arm controlled by the Yuxing Civilization.

Eventually, this Interstellar Fortress would stop at Yu-13 Star, which was also one of the three headquarters of the Star Alliance.

For the Watcher Civilization, a terrestrial planet was equivalent to a city; members of the Watcher Civilization could freely travel between these “cities,” and the time spent on interstellar journeys would not exceed half an hour.

And this Yu-13 Star was a highly centralized, purely administrative planet; the entire planet belonged to the Galactic Star Alliance, responsible for the supervision of various civilizations in the Second Spiral Arm of the Galaxy, as well as the observation and protection of tens of thousands of primitive planets; all staff had to come here to report on their duties every Galactic Year.

Moreover, the various interstellar civilizations belonging to the Second Spiral Arm of the Galaxy had also established council offices on Yu-13 Star, serving as the places for communication between various interstellar civilizations and the Star Alliance.

Of course, the peripheral defense of this planet was also extremely insane; on the periphery of the Star System where Yu-13 Star was located, that super Interstellar Fortress of the Yuxing Civilization was stationed, a large warship with a diameter exceeding 10,000 kilometers. It was called by the Yustarians: “Taishi!”

This Taishi Star was not something A-Star could compare with; the power it possessed was sufficient to wipe out any existence other than the Watcher Civilization in an instant.

Taishi’s energy acquisition method was similar to A-Star’s, but what it connected to through Subspace was not a small-mass star, but dozens of super stars at the center of the Galaxy, possessing nearly infinite energy.

The full-Dimension energy annihilation cannon equipped on it, if fired at full power, was enough to blast a vacuum zone with a diameter of 50,000 kilometers in the Galaxy, and it would be completed in an instant.

The warriors of the Watcher Civilization stationed on Taishi year-round also numbered in the hundreds of thousands, enough to handle any sudden situation in the Second Spiral Arm of the Galaxy.

One had to know, for the Watcher Civilization, distance was not a problem!

A-Star began to travel slowly at a speed of less than 100 kilometers per second on the periphery of the Star System where Yu-13 Star was located; this Interstellar Fortress returning from an alien Star System suddenly had to accept the inspection of Taishi Star.

These were matters for the Elders of the Star Alliance Guard to deal with, and had nothing to do with Lin Lei; he was now looking at the information of this ultimate weapon of the Galaxy, this fortress called “Taishi,” and there was only one thought in his mind: one day, Earth must also possess such a strategic-level War Fortress!

Yan Siyu saw such blazing flames in Lin Lei’s eyes for the first time, as if they wanted to swallow everything, but unlike Fuweili, she not only did not feel worry, but her heart was filled with even deeper love; her man had to be such a great hero!

Because Earth and Layite Star both belonged to the Third Spiral Arm of the Galaxy and were under the jurisdiction of the Ao Star Civilization, Lin Lei and his group’s final destination would be the Star Alliance headquarters located on Ao-11 Star; Yu-13 Star was merely a transfer station.

A-Star stopped here only because this was the nearest jump point.

The three Elders of the Star Alliance Guard had already left beforehand; they would go to the Star Alliance Council of Elders to apply for the convening of an interstellar conference for the Third Spiral Arm.

The protagonists of the conference would be Lin Lei and his group of Earthlings and the Layite People. Of course, people from other interstellar civilizations in the Third Spiral Arm would also participate, but they only had observer status; their opinions would only serve as a reference.

All this still depended on the specific attitudes of the Star Alliance and the Layite People, but Lin Lei believed that the three Elders would solve these troubles for him.

When Lin Lei and his group were teleported to Ao-11 Star, that down-to-earth feeling gave Lin Lei a sense of waking from a dream!

Was this moment finally about to arrive? Lin Lei turned back to look at his companions, and what he saw were three pairs of eyes equally overflowing with excitement.

Everything was developing in a good direction, wasn’t it?

The efficiency of the Star Alliance was very high; as soon as Lin Lei appeared on Ao-11 Star, he received a notification from the Star Alliance Council of Elders that the interstellar conference would be held on time in four Galactic Hours. At that time, Earthlings and the Layite People would negotiate and discuss the issue of the attribution of the surviving Earthlings.

This news was announced on the Galaxy Network the first time; there were not many people paying attention to this news, but it definitely included those who were saved by Lin Lei on the Galaxy Flight originally.

Lucius looked at this news in disbelief; he felt only shock; Lin Lei had left the Galaxy Flight for less than half a month, yet he had achieved something that seemed almost impossible to him; this… this…

Lucius could no longer find an accurate adjective to describe that black-haired, black-eyed Earth hero; when he shouted among nearly twenty thousand people back then: “I am an Earthling!”, Lucius still had a little disdain in his heart, but now, he only had admiration left.

No, he must go to the scene at Ao-11 Star to see for himself.

In Apocalypse, Fuweili was streaming with tears; she covered her mouth, trying hard not to cry out loud; there was even a holographic image of Lin Lei on the Galaxy Network, his eyes still full of deep cold flames, his figure still upright, confident and tenacious.

Fuweili stared blankly, not knowing where she would go from here.

As for Yan Qingming of the Ao Star, he came to Ao-11 Star the first time; Yan Siyu shrank behind Lin Lei the first time, revealing only half of her face, and stammered: “Brother, why are you here?”

Yan Qingming was amused to anger: “I’ll settle the score with you later; you go to the side first, I want to talk to Lin Lei alone.”

Yan Siyu knew that she had indeed gone a bit too far this time, so she did not retort, and obediently walked aside with Xiao Boru and the others.

“You have become stronger again, Lin Lei! I heard you even joined the Star Alliance Guard.” Yan Qingming suddenly saw the black watch strap on Lin Lei’s hand; his eyes narrowed, he recognized this thing, the Subspace storage device of the Crystallized Mecha, so Lin Lei’s identity as a warrior of the Star Alliance Guard was undoubtedly confirmed.

“Hehe, I joined the Star Alliance Guard by luck; speaking of which, Siyu helped a lot.”

The person in front of him was very likely his future brother-in-law, so Lin Lei did not dare to be too negligent.

Yan Qingming was a decent person; his previous cold attitude towards Lin Lei was merely because he doted on his younger sister.

He was silent for a while, staring tightly at Lin Lei, and asked with incomparable solemnity: “Lin Lei, can you give me a guarantee?”

“What guarantee?”

“In your heart, leave a position for Siyu, a position independent of your race and Fuweili! Can you do that?”

Lin Lei looked at Yan Siyu not far away; the bright sunshine of Ao-11 Star shone on her perfect face, even the reflected light carried incomparable poetic sentiment; his gaze softened, and all coldness was hidden deep.

“Time will change everything; I cannot guarantee the too distant future, but I will do my utmost to protect her!” Lin Lei looked back with an incomparably firm gaze.

He spoke the truth, and would not make another vow similar to the one he made to Fuweili last time.

Yan Qingming looked at this man; he could almost imagine that his life would be full of twists and turns, but this path was chosen by his sister Yan Siyu herself; even as her biological brother, he could not go against her wishes again and again, or things might become so stiff that they couldn’t even be siblings.

“I hope you can do it; in the interstellar conference, as the Ao Star is part of the Watcher Civilization, our attitude cannot be biased, but at least we will remain fair!” After saying that, Yan Qingming walked towards Yan Siyu; he stroked Yan Siyu’s hair and sighed helplessly: “I won’t interfere with you anymore; you are an adult too, and possess full citizenship rights of the Ao Star, but regarding our parents, you must explain it to them personally; I can’t help much with that.”

“Thank you, Brother.” Yan Siyu lowered her head, her voice muffled.

“Alright, the interstellar conference is about to start; you are not an Earthling and cannot be at the appeal desk, so let’s wait for the result at the observer seats.” After saying that, Yan Qingming walked first into the iconic building of the Star Alliance, the venue for the interstellar conference—Tower of Watchers!

Yan Siyu waved to Lin Lei, smiling at him to say goodbye, and then followed Yan Qingming’s figure away.

Lin Lei responded with a smile, and only when he could no longer see Yan Siyu’s back did his face suddenly sink, because he saw not far away, the delegation of Leite!

Old Xiao and the others also saw this great enemy of all Earthlings, and they all tightly gathered around Lin Lei.

The people of Leite obviously also saw Lin Lei’s group; they walked towards Lin Lei, and their expressions were quite unfriendly.

“Earthlings, do you think that by climbing up to the Star Alliance, you can restore your clan? What a joke! And you, human warrior, you are lucky enough to actually avoid the attack of the annihilation cannon.” Among these people, a tall, thin Double-Pupiled Person with sunken eye sockets spoke with malice on his face.

Li Yi was the first one who couldn’t hold back; he said loudly: “I have seen people from many alien civilizations, and the Layite People look the weirdest, and are the least like humans. Now seeing your style of doing things, I am even more convinced of this point; you are just a savage race wearing the coat of an interstellar civilization!”

“Little guy, say whatever you want; you will have something to cry about later. Heh heh.” This Double-Pupiled Person gave a cold laugh, then led a group of people away arrogantly.

“Bastard!” Li Yi panted heavily, extremely furious.

“Alright, let’s go in, the interstellar conference has started. Li Yi, stay calm; we are here to appeal, not to fight.” Lin Lei narrowed his eyes, looking at the retreating figures of the Layite People, and said in a low voice.
