Chapter 788: Chapter 352: Private Battleship, Ascending on the Spot (Part 2)

Before long, Gu Minghui initiated a communication request.

"Ye Qingzhou, you really know how to make a big scene."

"It’s just artificial nuclear fusion, hasn’t our Dongji Kingdom already achieved this technology?"

"How can it be the same?"

Gu Minghui showed a complicated expression mixed with frustration and amusement: "You were handcrafting a hydrogen bomb on the near-Earth satellite orbit, do you understand how terrifying that is?"

Currently, all major powers on Blue Star have listed Ye Qingzhou as the top dangerous individual. Even Europe and the Western Pole Kingdom have established special departments to monitor Ye Qingzhou’s movements, ensuring they know his location, lest another sun rises on their territory someday.

After a few more exchanges, Gu Minghui brought up another subject: "Sikong Jingming asked me to inform you that the Junshan Association has been disbanded."

"Junshan Association?"

Ye Qingzhou took a while to recall that bunch of worthless individuals.

Conflicts he was unwilling to get involved in back then now seem to him nothing more than childish play in Dongji Kingdom’s domestic affairs.

Whether civilian martial artists or martial arts families, ultimately, they are part of Dongji Kingdom’s martial arts world, which can be suppressed and controlled but shouldn’t be completely eradicated, otherwise, it damages the foundation itself.

"When did this happen?"

"Right when you were handcrafting that hydrogen bomb."

"..."

Ye Qingzhou sighed inwardly, realizing that human society is indeed filled with interpersonal intricacies. As long as your capability to fight is strong enough, the whole world will show you its better side.

Even those who have offended you won’t need to say anything, as someone will handle the situation for you, so you don’t have to go to great lengths to kill an ant to feel at ease.

True big shots are very busy; they don’t have time to strut around showing off and picking on the weak.

"Oh right, there’s something I need your help with."

"What is it?"

Gu Minghui then revealed a crucial piece of information: "Didn’t we capture a mythical life form before?"

"And?"

Ye Qingzhou smiled subtly, displaying a careless demeanor as he awaited more details.

Without hiding anything, Gu Minghui straightforwardly disclosed this secret: "The location where we captured the mythical life form is on the Moon. We’ve discovered a new grotto heaven there, officially named ’Taixi’."

"Taixi Grotto Heaven?"

Ye Qingzhou showed interest in exploring an unexplored grotto heaven.

"Based on our speculation, Taixi Grotto Heaven should be transformed from the corpse of the Goddess Xihe from the Ancient Era. She was the wife of the Celestial Emperor and one of the strongest among the Feather Race, once nurturing the ’Ten Sun’, with cultivation and realm both incredibly terrifying."

Hearing this, Gu Minghui’s expression also became grave: "The trouble is, that place is heavily polluted by negative Thought Ability and has completely fallen, becoming extremely dangerous."

The danger Gu Minghui spoke of was a terrifying power sufficient to pose a lethal threat to a Martial Saint.

"Can’t we ask the War Emperor to intervene?"

Ye Qingzhou asked curiously.

After all, Goddess Xihe had a close relationship with the Eastern Yi Race and was on the same side as Chiyou, so War Emperor Chiyou should not ignore it.

Gu Minghui sighed deeply and only said four words: "Poison of Faith."

Ye Qingzhou understood immediately.

Previously, he had used Poison of Faith to plot against Great Brahma Heaven; this force greatly counters Martial God experts. Now, the War Emperor is the pillar of stability for Dongji Kingdom, the last arsenal for Blue Star people, and naturally cannot be risked.

"Don’t worry, I’ll join the expedition inside Taixi Grotto Heaven too. We’ve made thorough preparations for this action."

Gu Minghui finished talking and then discussed the Elemental Spirit Armor enhancement and modification: "Your Elemental Spirit Armor is currently undergoing function upgrades to ensure you possess the strongest combat power."

"Okay, I agree."

Ye Qingzhou was already interested in this new grotto heaven; plus, he would receive an upgraded Divine Sword Celestial Monarch Armor, ensuring security.

"Oh, by the way, there’s one more thing..."

Gu Minghui mentioned the Western Pole Kingdom: "This exploration task involves not only us; people from the Western Pole Kingdom, Europe, and the Northern Alliance with Moon surface bases will also participate."

"Joint exploration task?"

Ye Qingzhou frowned: "Not to mention the Northern Alliance, but can we really rely on the people from the Western Pole Kingdom and Europe?"

"There’s no choice, the Moon is a public area, and the ruins were discovered by us major powers collectively. As part of the human faction, they have the right to explore it too."

Clearly, this was a political compromise.

Though the Western Pole Kingdom and Europe were in surrender camps, once Blue Star is defeated, the fire of human civilization still needs them to inherit, so certain things must involve cooperation.

......

Two months later, preparations were finally complete. Ye Qingzhou, equipped with the upgraded Divine Sword Celestial Monarch Armor, teamed up with Gu Minghui, Xuanwu, and Vermilion Bird, heading to the Moon Surface Base.

At the Qiong Ya Rocket Base, Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu, puzzled, approached Gu Minghui: "Why was the rocket launch plan canceled?"

"Because we got lucky; we can hitch a ride this time."

"Hitch a ride?"

Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu exchanged perplexed looks, their faces filled with even more confusion.

"Other aerospace centers don’t seem to have any launch plans recently, right?"

Gu Minghui looked at the two, gave a mysterious smile, and said: "It’s not a rocket." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

While the two were still bewildered, from the north, a colossal object rapidly approached, Pioneer cruiser, ten kilometers long like a floating island.

"Is this... a cosmic battleship?"

"Has the Southern Heaven Gate Plan succeeded?"

Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu almost dropped their jaws in shock, utterly amazed by the astonishing sight.

The battleship soon anchored above the rocket launch center, and at the same time, Ye Qingzhou’s Thought Transmitting Sound echoed in the minds of Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu: "Welcome to my battleship."

Faced with bewilderment, the two followed Gu Minghui onto the Pioneer and soon saw Ye Qingzhou on the bridge: "Is this... your battleship?"

"Indeed, it’s a private battleship."

Gu Minghui looked around the interior of the ship with interest; he had participated in some of the Pioneer’s maintenance and modification projects.

Now, seeing the actual thing, his heart naturally felt stirred.

"Our country actually allows private ownership of battleships?"

Xuanwu found it unbelievable, mainly because the scale of the Pioneer was too exaggerated. Even more so, it was a cosmic battleship!

"Previously not allowed, but there’s always an exception to everything."

Gu Minghui explained with a smile: "This cosmic battleship was originally a trophy captured by Ye Qingzhou, and we have already mastered much of the relevant technology. It is part of Dongji Kingdom’s new generation of cosmic battleships, and construction has begun. In two or three years, we should see the prototype model."

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the Pioneer slowly ascended, flying faster and faster until it burst out of Blue Star, flying toward the Moon.

This world-shaking event naturally attracted all of Blue Star’s attention, especially the Western Countries, who exclaimed about Dongji Kingdom’s creation of a cosmic battleship!

......

At the Moon Surface Base, Dr. X and Electromagnetic Tyrant had just stepped out of the cramped rocket landing cabin when they saw the Moon’s light obscured by a massive shadow.

"My God, what is that?"

"A... cosmic battleship?"

"Are aliens attacking us?"

Right now, Western Pole Kingdom’s Moon Surface Base was in chaos, and they soon received the message that the owner of this battleship was Ye Qingzhou.

Electromagnetic Tyrant gazed intently at the departing Pioneer, his eyes filled with undisguised longing: "A cosmic battleship? What a perfect trophy."

"David, your mind is troubled, this will affect your state, the negative Thought Ability from Godslayer is invading your consciousness."

"Don’t worry, Eriksen, I’m absolutely confident in this battle."

Electromagnetic Tyrant was eager to drive Godslayer and hunt down Ye Qingzhou.
