Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1283 Star Sea (88)

In the deep and boundless starry sky, a giant space cruise liner emerged from the massive Star Gate!

And in front of this white giant ship, a beautiful planet was radiating its own light.

Holy Light Star!

The Holy Light Star is both the heart and brain of the Holy Light Empire, its importance beyond doubt.

Wang Chen admired this blue planet through the space cruise’s observation window.

It really looks like Earth!

However, the Holy Light Star has two satellites and has been transformed by the Empire into a Space Fortress, reportedly with thirty-six defense towers built on each satellite, altogether equipped with one hundred and eight Mystical V Type Positron Cannons.

It’s said that a salvo of three can sink a Titan-class Battleship!

Not only that, but the Empire’s two most elite space fleets are stationed on these two satellites.

Meanwhile, Space Fortresses and fleets are stationed at the Star Gate as well, making the defenses impregnable, with almost no chance of falling.

"So this is the Holy Light Star!"

As Wang Chen marveled at the beautiful view of the planet, a voice of awe came from beside him: "So beautiful, so magnificent!"

Wang Chen smiled faintly.

In fact, the Holy Light Star isn’t the most beautiful planet; for scenery alone, the Sea God Star definitely surpasses it.

But the Holy Light Star has a special halo, holding the highest status in the hearts of the Empire’s citizens.

The greatest wish of countless imperial citizens is to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Light Star at least once!

However, realizing this wish isn’t easy.

Because the Holy Light Star has an access threshold, previously requiring one to have noble or Scholar Family status, or be someone of merit, to qualify to step on this planet’s soil.

Later, the rules were relaxed slightly, allowing ordinary citizens with a clean background and asset proof to apply to visit the Holy Light Star.

But forget about living on the Holy Light Star; even getting a visa through the application process involves fees that ordinary families can’t afford—the ticket alone is unaffordable.

The space cruise Wang Chen was on had a business class ticket costing one hundred and fifty thousand Star Currency!

Of course, he didn’t need to pay this himself.

His neighbor, however, was self-funded for the pilgrimage, with round-trip tickets costing three hundred thousand and additional travel expenses, totaling about a normal family’s entire income for over a decade.

"Xiao Wang, how long do you plan to stay on the Holy Light Star?"

Wang Chen’s neighbor was a chubby man named Ge Qiang, who was a businessman with quite successful ventures, otherwise, he couldn’t afford such high expenses.

Ge Qiang had good emotional intelligence and social skills, having discussed numerous topics with Wang Chen during the journey, a smart sociable person who quickly makes acquaintances.

Like Wang Chen, Ge Qiang was also visiting the Holy Light Star for the first time, but he had distant relatives to rely on there.

"After the Holy Radiance Festival."

Wang Chen thought for a moment and replied: "It’s not certain for now."

The Holy Radiance Festival was over four months away, so Wang Chen came by himself initially to collaborate with the Institute of Holy Light for experimental projects and assist in establishing the Empire’s superpower management agency.

When the Holy Radiance Festival drew closer, Tang Mo and Ming Mei would arrive from Taiwu Star to join him.

As for after the festival, Wang Chen was uncertain whether he should stay.

"Ha, same as me!"

Ge Qiang chuckled and said: "Xiao Wang, meeting you is fate. If you encounter anything, you can contact me. I do have some network connections."

A chance meeting, the worst is shallow friendship, but Ge Qiang felt Wang Chen was extraordinary, prompting him to desire a friendship, hence his warmth.

Wang Chen smiled, "Alright."

The two had exchanged contact numbers earlier, allowing communication via the Star Net.

While speaking, the space cruise docked steadily in the port berth.

Just after Wang Chen disembarked from the cruise, he received a contact message, enabling him to smoothly meet the reception personnel.

"Major Wang Chen, welcome to the Holy Light Star Territory, you’ve worked hard on the journey."

The one receiving Wang Chen was a beautifully voluptuous elder sister, wearing an Imperial Army uniform, looking valiant and heroic, with a crisp and pleasant voice.

"Thank you, Captain Xia."

Wang Chen nodded and then boarded the flying craft she brought.

A Meteor VII Type Air-Space Shuttle.

After picking up Wang Chen, Xia piloted this fighter jet-like high-speed shuttle, swiftly departing from the fortress airport, heading toward Emperor Satellite One hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

Emperor Satellite One and Emperor Satellite Two are the two satellites of Holy Light Star, the former is five times the size of Wang Chen’s previous life Moon, originally a lifeless planet with no conditions for life to survive.

But, after hundreds of years of Imperial transformation and massive investment, this satellite not only became a Space Fortress of a mega-star but also hosts hundreds of cities, housing over a billion people!

The Imperial Royal First Space Fleet is stationed here.

Moreover, although the Institute of Holy Light’s headquarters is on the Holy Light Star, a branch was also established on Emperor Satellite One, and in terms of scale or technological level, it is not inferior to the former.

Thus, Wang Chen’s second experiment and testing for his superpowers were set to take place at the branch on Emperor Satellite One.

Wang Chen was naturally not surprised by this.

Captain Xia’s piloting skills were excellent, and under her control, this Meteor VII Type Air-Space Shuttle gracefully landed in a large planetary base.

After long-term modification, Emperor Satellite One not only has an atmosphere but its surface conditions resemble those of a life-supporting planet, except its cities and forests are under massive domes, highlighting the Empire’s technological prowess.

And in this base, Wang Chen met Xu Zhen once again!

This Deputy Director of the Institute of Holy Light warmly welcomed Wang Chen’s arrival and personally accompanied Wang Chen to the dormitory in the base.

Though called a dormitory, it didn’t differ much from a luxury hotel; the suite arranged for Wang Chen was not only spacious but also equipped with an array of high-tech devices.

Xu Zhen was a bit apologetic: "Emperor Satellite One’s conditions are limited, so you’ll have to settle for staying here for a while."

"It’s already great."

Wang Chen smiled and said, "You don’t have to worry, no matter the place, I can adapt to even harsher environments."

"That’s good."

Xu Zhen sighed in relief and added: "Originally, I planned to welcome you with a feast tonight, but I have tasks at hand, so I can’t accompany you. If you need anything, just tell Captain Xia, she’ll arrange it."

Wang Chen expressed his understanding: "It’s fine, please attend to your duties."

After bidding farewell to Xu Zhen and the others, Wang Chen lay on the large bed in the dormitory, his gaze passing through the transparent dome, looking at the Holy Light Star seemingly within reach.

The latter remained in the starry sky, emanating a dreamlike glow!
