Chapter 56 The Real Main Cannon! A Super-Powerful Choice of Five!
Listening to every word in the communication channel, Lu Jin remained motionless as if an old monk in meditation.
His gaze was fixed solely on the main cannon charging panel on the screen.
[Main Cannon "Stellar Elegy" has charged 49%]
The moment the main cannon's charge reached 50%, Lu Jin's eyes instantly sharpened.
Without waiting for others to react, Lu Jin decisively pressed the firing button!
Accompanied by a dazzling glow converging at the main cannon's muzzle, a terrifying energy beam instantly illuminated the entire Brilliant Galaxy!
The beam, like a meteor, struck the Black Opal Family's flagship just as it was about to escape the encirclement!
In an instant, everyone saw the shields on the Black Opal flagship light up!
It hit!
Bang!
The shield held for less than 3 seconds before shattering!
Immediately after, the beam struck the ship's armor!
But even the flagship's armor shattered in less than 10 seconds!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the beam from Lu Jin's ship's main cannon directly impacted the flagship's hull.
Before long, a beam of light pierced through the other side of the flagship!
Lu Jin's main cannon shot had actually pierced directly through the Black Opal Family's flagship?
This result was unexpected not only by the Black Opal Family and the Black Stone Pirates but also by the Gem Fleet!
One must know, that was a reinforced flagship!
Its defensive capabilities were considered tricky even by the Gem Fleet.
But Lu Jin destroyed it with just one main cannon shot?
A dazzling explosion lit up the Brilliant Galaxy, and the Black Opal Family's flagship was directly destroyed!
And the Gem Fleets, having reacted, mercilessly launched all attacks, beginning a series of bombardments on the Black Opal Family's flagship.
Before long, the entire Black Opal Family's flagship was bombarded into a pile of debris.
This way, even if the Black Opal Family's patriarch had extraordinary abilities, he would not be able to survive such dense bombardment.
Seeing the Black Opal Family's flagship destroyed, the Black Stone Pirates immediately chose to retreat!
Now that their financier had been blasted to smithereens, were they to stay here and wait for death?
The Black Stone Pirates' ships quickly retreated, and the Gem Family's fleet did not choose to block them.
After all, the Black Stone Pirates were mercenaries; they worked for whoever paid them.
Furthermore, the Black Stone Pirate Group behind them was a massive and terrifying fleet, so there was no need to continue the pursuit.
If they truly pushed the other party too hard and they called in their main fleet, then the Gem Family might as well surrender on the spot.
The departure of the Black Stone Pirate fleet left the remaining Black Opal Family fleet in an isolated and helpless situation.
Seeing this, Lu Jin no longer continued to pay attention to the direction of the war.
The outcome of this war was already foreseeable; his focus shifted to the fragments of the Black Opal Family's flagship.
Lu Jin dispatched a large number of Fang Drones to begin scavenging valuable ship fragments from the battlefield.
As the battle on the battlefield gradually subsided, Lu Jin's ship upgrade progress quickly broke through to 80%!
[Ding, upgrade materials have been analyzed, ship self-repair speed permanently increased by 5%...]
[Ding, upgrade materials have been analyzed, ship energy conversion efficiency permanently increased by 10%...]
[Ding, upgrade materials have been analyzed, ship research center manufacturing efficiency permanently increased by 5%...]
Lu Jin, constantly devouring ship wrecks on the battlefield, couldn't stop smiling as he watched his ship's upgrade progress improve.
At the current rate, after he devours all the ship wrecks, he might be able to directly upgrade his ship to a medium-sized ship!
He just didn't know what amazing functions the ship would unlock after upgrading to a medium-sized ship.
Just as Lu Jin was still imagining, the ship first gave him a surprise!
[Detected upgradeable routes, please select your desired ship upgrade route!]
Oh?
Is the ship going to unlock new functions again?
Lu Jin's gaze fell on the ship upgrade route panel, and when he saw the data on the ship upgrade panel, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Five upgrade routes?!
Unexpectedly, there were five upgrade routes available for Lu Jin to choose from this time.
Lu Jin directly opened all available upgrade routes.
[Upgrade Route One, unlock "origin kinetic turret compartment", unlock turret "Void Ripper"!]
The first upgrade route gave Lu Jin a surprise!
It was actually a brand new kinetic turret!
Undoubtedly, if Lu Jin chose this upgrade route, his ship's firepower would undergo a drastic change.
The turret and main cannon, mutually assisting each other, would be enough to elevate the ship's firepower to a new level.
But Lu Jin didn't get carried away; his gaze fell on the other upgrade routes.
[Upgrade Route Two, unlock "origin energy compartment", ship's energy conversion efficiency will be greatly improved!]
[Upgrade Route Three, unlock "origin material research lab", unlock blueprint "Nano White Porcelain Steel"!]
[Upgrade Route Four, unlock "origin plantation", unlock blueprint "Psionic Grass Seed"!]
Nano White Porcelain Steel?
This was a super rare material that could fetch high prices on the market!
Currently, only the Volcanic Dwarf Race in the Endless Star Sea could produce this material.
Unexpectedly, the origin warship could actually unlock this exclusive material?
There was also Psionic Grass Seed, a plant that could temporarily boost a Psionicist's psionic level, highly favored by Psionicists.
If Lu Jin could cultivate it, that would be even better!
He could even use this resource to befriend some Psionicists!
All of them were good things!
Finally, Lu Jin's gaze fell on the last upgrade route.
[Upgrade Route Five, unlock "origin space jump engine", ship will gain the ability "Space Flash"!]
Space Flash!
This skill was even more heaven-defying!
Once activated, it could perform flash jumps within the galaxy!
This was not just a movement skill; used properly, it could even evade fatal damage and even counterattack enemies unexpectedly!
No matter which upgrade route it was, Lu Jin was greatly tempted!
The origin warship truly lived up to its name as an origin warship!
Warship firepower!
Resource output!
Ship survivability!
Upgrades in any aspect could make the ship's capabilities even more powerful!
But just as Lu Jin was still agonizing over which upgrade route to choose, a message suddenly popped up on Lu Jin's personal terminal.
Lu Jin glanced at the sender of the message; it was Cui Yuxin.
Seeing this, Lu Jin was a bit puzzled.
The Brilliant Galaxy was currently in a state of reconstruction, and the remaining three Gem Families not only had to resolve a series of post-war issues.
They also had to appease the emotions of the Alien Races who came to participate in the Brilliant Grand Assembly.
Under such circumstances, Cui Yuxin still had the presence of mind to send him a message. Could it be that she needed Lu Jin's help again?
But just as Lu Jin opened the message to view its detailed content.
[Run! Get out of the Brilliant Galaxy quickly!]
+++
Chapter 57 Obsidian Heart! The Raider, Siren!
Run away?
Leave the Brilliant Galaxy?
This brief yet warning-filled message made Lu Jin wonder for a moment if Cui Yuxin's account had been hacked.
He had been in the Brilliant Galaxy for so many days, and Cui Yuxin had only sent a few messages of concern, nothing else.
Why did she suddenly go crazy and send such a message today?
After a moment of thought, Lu Jin directly asked Cui Yuxin.
"What happened?"
As soon as Lu Jin sent the message, Cui Yuxin immediately replied.
"The Black Stone Pirate Group already knows that you possess an origin warship!"
"The leader of the Black Stone Pirate Group, also one of the current Seven Pirate Kings, Marauder Sailun of the Obsidian Heart, has already left the Endless Star Sea to find you!"
What?
One of the Seven Pirate Kings personally came to find him?
No wonder Cui Yuxin told Lu Jin to run!
Before, they had only encountered a branch fleet of the Black Stone Pirate Group!
The true main fleet possesses terrifying power capable of destroying an entire galaxy!
Now that the Black Stone Pirates' main fleet was coming for Lu Jin, even the Gem Family intervening would be useless.
Therefore, Cui Yuxin could only use this method to tell Lu Jin to run!
But before Lu Jin could reply to Cui Yuxin, the starship's alarm suddenly blared.
"Warning: Starship locked by unknown electromagnetic wave, warp jump impossible!"
"Warning: Please quickly disengage from unknown electromagnetic wave lock, otherwise starship cannot perform warp jump!"
"Warning: Starship communication cut off by unknown electromagnetic wave, please quickly exit electromagnetic wave range!"
The starship's anomaly was also noticed by Yu Tiancang.
He quickly rose from his seat and opened the starship's control panel.
Soon, Yu Tiancang discovered the anomaly!
Large and small starship icons began to appear on the radar!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the vast starry sky of the Brilliant Galaxy, starship after starship bearing the Black Stone Pirate Group's insignia returned to this galaxy.
In less than five minutes, over a thousand starships arrived in the Brilliant Galaxy!
The entire Gem Family fleet, facing the ever-increasing pirate fleet, did not dare to make the slightest move.
Because they also knew very well that these Black Stone Pirates now represented one of the Seven Pirate Kings, Marauder Sailun of the Obsidian Heart!
And at this moment, the Star Sea space rippled faintly like water.
A colossal star destroyer class ship gradually appeared in everyone's sight!
A star destroyer class ship!
The captains of the Gem Family starships couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw this starship.
One must know that a star destroyer class ship not only represents strength, but also the foundation of that force!
Even the Gem Family did not have a star destroyer class ship!
The massive body of the star destroyer, coupled with the fearsome reputation of the Black Stone Pirate Group.
At this moment, these factors hung like dark clouds over the hearts of the entire Gem Family!
And inside the blackstone star destroyer, a giant stone giant, over three meters tall and covered in obsidian, sat on the star destroyer's bridge!
His gaze was full of mockery as he watched the starship fleets of the galactic civilization standing still, his vanity greatly satisfied.
"Boss, we've arrived at the Brilliant Galaxy!"
"That origin warship is right ahead!"
Hearing the name of the origin warship, Marauder Sailun immediately sat up.
A projection appeared before him, displaying Lu Jin's prometheus.
"A small battleship?"
"Hahaha, such a starship is actually an origin warship!"
"If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have noticed!"
"Tell that kid on the starship, I want that origin warship!"
The reason Marauder Sailun came from deep within the Endless Star Sea to the outer regions.
It was precisely because of the origin warship Lu Jin possessed!
The rarity of origin warships was extremely uncommon even within the Endless Star Sea!
Although the Black Stone Pirate Group had a star destroyer class ship holding down the fort, even so, they did not possess an origin warship!
Now that he had encountered an origin warship, how could he possibly let Lu Jin go?
And Yu Tiancang, upon seeing the Black Stone Pirate Group's star destroyer, also had a grim expression.
He looked at Lu Jin, wanting to see how Lu Jin planned to deal with this crisis.
"Ding, unknown communication signal, connect?"
Unknown communication signal?
Lu Jin didn't even need to think to know the source of this communication signal!
Connecting the communication signal, Marauder Sailun's massive figure immediately appeared in Lu Jin's vision.
When he saw Lu Jin's figure, Marauder Sailun was somewhat surprised.
"Blue Star kid, you actually dare to connect to my communication signal."
"But this also saves me a lot of trouble. Now, immediately hand over ownership of the starship to me."
"If I'm in a good mood, I might even let you off!"
Let me off?
Facing Marauder Sailun's words, Lu Jin chuckled and looked up at Marauder Sailun.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lu Jin directly made an extremely provocative gesture.
"You rock man, you still want my starship?"
"Dream on!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire place fell silent!
On the bridge of the blackstone star destroyer, all the Black Stone Pirates didn't even dare to breathe.
This kid is crazy!
He's simply a madman!
Does he still not understand the situation?
And Marauder Sailun clenched his fist, his gaze gradually becoming fierce, and the brutal aura of a pirate slowly filled the entire bridge.
"Very good! Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Impolite? That's what I should be saying!"
Lu Jin sneered, and before anyone could react, he directly pressed the main cannon's firing button.
The 50% charged "Stellar Elegy," in the instant before the Black Stone Pirates could react, directly blasted a shot onto the star destroyer class ship's shield!
Bang!
The shield shattered, and the starship's armor was instantly largely broken!
Such terrifying power startled all the Black Stone Pirates!
What the hell?
A single shot from this small starship almost destroyed the armor of a star destroyer class ship?
And Marauder Sailun, after his shock, was even more furious!
"Damn ant! How dare you attack my flagship!"
"All Black Stone Pirates, listen to my command, capture this kid alive, I will cut him into a thousand pieces!"
But at this moment, Lu Jin had already decisively chosen the starship's upgrade path.
"Ding, congratulations on successfully unlocking 'Origin Space Jump Engine,' starship unlocks ability'Space Flash'!"
Lu Jin's gaze fell on Space Flash!
When he clearly saw all the functions of Space Flash, he was even more delighted!
"Space Flash count 10/10, each recharge takes 1 hour!"
There are actually 10 opportunities for Space Flash!
10 Space Flashes are enough for me to escape the Black Stone Pirates' encirclement!
It's just a pity that these starship wrecks can only be left here!
+++
Chapter 58 I'll Dodge Again! Pirate Bounty!
"Coordinates confirmed, initiating Space Flash!"
After inputting a coordinate, Lu Jin didn't hesitate, decisively using Space Flash to escape.
After all, the enemy before him was the Black Stone Pirate Group, possessing a star destroyer class ship and a fleet of thousands of ships.
All Lu Jin could do now was to provoke the Black Stone Pirate Group as much as possible.
He wanted these pirates to focus their attention on him; he didn't want to implicate the Brilliant Galaxy, which was still rebuilding after the disaster.
Space Flash activated!
Accompanied by a distortion of space around the ship!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the prometheus vanished from its original position!
This scene directly caused Marauder Sailun to widen his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.
What's going on?
The opponent disappeared?
No!
He had clearly used a jamming device in advance to block his warp drive!
Under such circumstances, he shouldn't be able to perform a space warp!
But before he could figure this out, Lu Jin's ship instantly appeared outside the Black Stone Pirate Group fleet's encirclement!
The sudden appearance of the prometheus also stunned many onlookers.
"What happened? If I'm not mistaken, that warship moved a certain distance?"
"Space warp? But if it was a space warp, how could it only move such a short distance?"
"Logically speaking, the Black Stone Pirate Group shouldn't make such a low-level mistake; they should have activated the jamming device as soon as the first ship reached the Brilliant Galaxy."
"Now, all ships in the entire Brilliant Galaxy are probably unable to perform space warps, so how did he do it?"
Not only the spectators, but even Marauder Sailun was utterly shocked.
Space warp?
It shouldn't be!
Such an elusive movement method reminded Marauder Sailun of the owner of a certain origin warship!
Damn it!
Is this the powerful function of an origin warship?
As a Pirate King of the Endless Star Sea, he didn't even have an origin warship under his command.
Now that he finally had an origin warship right before his eyes, he couldn't let it go so easily!
"Pursue! I don't believe he can escape from my grasp!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jin's ship activated Space Flash again.
After the ship's figure briefly disappeared, it reappeared at a more distant coordinate!
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Lu Jin could leave the range of the jamming device.
How could the origin warship, which was almost within his grasp, be allowed to slip away like this?!
Marauder Sailun directly commanded his ships to encircle Lu Jin's direction!
But just then, Space Flash activated again!
"Damn it! How many times can this ship perform such a teleportation!"
If it was an unlimited number of teleports, wouldn't he be unable to catch up to this origin warship for his entire life?
And at this moment, Lu Jin had already escaped the range of the Black Stone Pirates' jamming device.
"Space Warp Engine has returned to normal. Do you wish to perform a space warp?"
Of course!
Lu Jin merely glanced at the radar and saw countless dense light dots.
Each light dot represented a pirate fighter coming to pursue him.
If he were caught by these pirate fighters, even with extraordinary abilities, he wouldn't be able to escape.
Even many ants can kill an elephant!
Not to mention, who knows how many Black Stone Pirates were inside so many pirate fighters.
Thinking of this, Lu Jin decisively pressed the space warp button.
The ship's speed began to soar, reaching warp speed in the blink of an eye!
Space distorted, and the ship's figure quickly vanished from its original position.
And when Marauder Sailun saw Lu Jin's figure completely disappear from the Brilliant Galaxy, he became even more furious.
He actually managed to escape!
The Black Stone Pirates under him looked at their gloomy boss, unsure of what to say for a moment.
But just as they were stunned, Marauder Sailun's gaze suddenly fell on one of the Black Stone Pirates.
Before that Black Stone Pirate could react, Marauder Sailun raised his hand, and a wave of energy directly struck that Black Stone Pirate.
In an instant, that Black Stone Pirate was reduced to a pile of ashes.
Marauder Sailun's sudden action immediately made the many Black Stone Pirates afraid to make any move.
"What are you still standing there for! Go after him!"
Upon receiving this order, the Black Stone Pirates under him no longer dared to be negligent.
The mighty Black Stone Pirate fleet instantly left the Brilliant Galaxy again.
And the Gem Families within the Brilliant Galaxy, seeing the Black Stone Pirates leave, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Hartley looked at Cui Yuxin beside him, asking with some concern.
"Mr. Lu Jin provoked the Black Stone Pirates so much, these Black Stone Pirates definitely won't let him off easily."
"I know, but there's nothing we can do now."
That's right!
Facing the powerful Seven Pirate Kings, what could even the Gem Family do?
Now, all Cui Yuxin and the others could do for Lu Jin was pray.
Lu Jin, having left the Brilliant Galaxy, continuously activated his space warp engine, with all the ship's energy being poured into the space warp engine.
As soon as the space warp engine cooled down, Lu Jin would not hesitate to activate the space warp!
Lu Jin knew very well that the Black Stone Pirates wouldn't be so easy to shake off.
As one of the seven top pirate groups in the Endless Star Sea, they also possessed their own technology.
Now, all Lu Jin could do was continuously warp.
And at this moment, Yu Tiancang seemed to see something, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.
"We're in big trouble!"
Lu Jin glanced at the terminal tablet Yu Tiancang handed him; the headline news on it was about him and the Black Stone Pirates.
"Shocking! Black Stone Pirate leader, Obsidian Heart, Marauder Sailun, hereby issues a pirate bounty."
"Anyone who provides the whereabouts of this ship and this Blue Star Human, upon verification, can claim a 100 million credit points bounty!"
After reading this pirate bounty, Lu Jin scoffed.
"Only 100 million bounty, the Black Stone Pirates are really stingy."
"They are the Black Stone Pirates. Those who can take on this pirate bounty are either pirates or desperadoes."
"No need to worry too much!"
Facing this pirate bounty, Lu Jin had no intention of taking it to heart.
Seeing that Lu Jin wasn't flustered, Yu Tiancang inexplicably felt relieved.
But it was indeed true; Lu Jin had managed to escape from dangerous situations time and again, and now Yu Tiancang had gradually adapted to this crazy interstellar travel.
Bang!
Just then, the prometheus seemed to have hit something.
In an instant, Lu Jin saw that the entire ship's control system was locked.
"Unknown device interference detected, ship program is under attack!"
"Unknown code attack detected, ship initiating self-protection!"
+++
Chapter 59 Besieged by wolves in front and tigers behind, the Golden Human!
"What's wrong now?"
Seeing the ship's systems instantly paralyzed, Yu Tiancang's previously relaxed nerves tightened again.
After glancing at the system panel, Lu Jin's expression also turned very solemn.
Based on the countless situations he encountered in his previous life, their ship should now be captured.
When this happens, there's only one possibility.
That is, they have intruded into a forbidden zone, and the civilization level of this zone is extremely high!
Only civilizations that reach a certain level can develop ship capture devices.
This device is more powerful compared to interference devices.
Once captured, it's basically very difficult to escape!
Buzz... Under everyone's watchful eyes, the space in front of them rippled like water.
And the captured prometheus, like gradually sinking into a swamp, rapidly submerged into these spatial ripples.
In an instant, the prometheus disappeared into the vast Star Sea.
A Black Stone Pirate Group fleet, shortly after the prometheus disappeared, quickly warped into this star system.
But at this moment, they found that the tracking signal suddenly vanished in this star system.
"Damn it! It's clearly just a small ship, yet it runs so fast!"
"What should we do next?"
"What to do? Of course, continue tracking! If the boss finds out we lost the target, we'll definitely die!"
After a brief discussion, this fleet quickly dispersed and began searching the surrounding star systems.
But in an area they couldn't see, a space twisted as if a malfunction had occurred.
Lu Jin and the others had now completely cast aside the crisis of the Black Stone Pirates.
Because what lay before them was an incredibly vast ship-city!
Dense high-rise buildings were built on this ship like building blocks!
From its appearance, the entire ship didn't look like a warship at all; it looked more like a giant moving city.
And around this ship-city, a large number of frigates, like a beehive and its swarm, guarded this enormous ship-city!
"This... is this a ship, or a city!"
Yu Tiancang had never seen such a massive ship, not even the Black Stone Pirate Group's star-annihilation level flagship.
Compared to the ship before them, enveloped by countless other ships, it appeared somewhat thin and small!
It was hard to imagine how much energy it would take just to operate this city-sized ship!
But before they could admire this vast and magnificent ship-city, several guards in armor and flying devices had already surrounded their ship.
"Intruders! Open your ship's hatch!"
"If you resist, we will take violent measures!"
Facing these aggressive guards, Yu Tiancang quickly turned his gaze to Lu Jin.
They had experienced so many dangerous situations along the way.
But no matter what the situation, Lu Jin could easily resolve it. He must have already had a plan to escape!
So, he just needed to relax and wait for Lu Jin's performance.
But before Yu Tiancang could wait for Lu Jin's performance, the ship's system prompt suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Ship hatch opened!"
What?!
Yu Tiancang looked at Lu Jin, because Lu Jin had personally opened the ship's hatch.
Was Lu Jin planning to surrender?
At this moment, shouldn't Lu Jin be trying to find a way to escape this damned place?
"Why did you open the hatch?"
In response to Yu Tiancang's question, Lu Jin pointed to the ship-city outside.
"Do you know where this is?"
"The Sacred Emperor City."
The rumored Sacred Emperor City, a legendary city drifting throughout the Star Sea.
It existed in the records of various planets, yet no one had ever truly seen its existence.
And Yu Tiancang never expected that this ship-city was the legendary Sacred Emperor City.
No wonder no one had ever been able to find its trace!
But very quickly, Yu Tiancang recalled.
It was rumored that the race living in the Sacred Emperor City was also human.
However, they called themselves "Golden Humans."
Just as Yu Tiancang was wondering if these Golden Humans would treat them kindly, those fully armed Holy City Guards had already entered the bridge.
They held long spears, but according to the circuits exposed on the spears.
Clearly, this spear was definitely more than just a simple melee weapon!
And one of the Golden Humans stepped out, his gaze under his helmet sweeping over Lu Jin and his party.
"Blue Star Human detected, threat level low!"
"Star Sea Elves detected, threat level high!"
"Star Hunting Dragon detected, threat level extremely high!"
What?
Star Sea Elves and Star Hunting Dragon!
Almost instantly, all the Holy City Guards raised their spears and aimed at Yin Yue, You Lan, and Shelia!
And one of the Golden Humans stepped forward directly.
"Tell Us! What is your purpose for approaching the Sacred City!"
Yin Yue glanced at Lu Jin, and seeing Lu Jin's relaxed expression, she quickly relaxed as well.
Lu Jin's gaze swept over the many Holy City Guards, then he spoke proactively.
"So this is the city protected by the Sacred Emperor."
"I apologize for intruding into the Sacred City without permission."
"But I feel, how is this not the Sacred Emperor's guidance to me."
The moment these words were spoken, the Holy City Guards opposite clearly relaxed quite a bit.
The leading Golden Human even put away his weapon directly.
He came before Lu Jin, then removed his helmet.
The face beneath the helmet was that of a resolute and serious middle-aged man, his gaze sweeping over Lu Jin.
"Lost traveler, may the Sacred Emperor bless you!"
"Since it's a misunderstanding, I will apply to the ship's control tower to release control of your ship."
Hearing this, Yu Tiancang's expression changed slightly.
They could just leave like that?
He didn't expect this conflict to be resolved so easily.
But before Yu Tiancang could breathe a sigh of relief, Lu Jin spoke directly to the Golden Human opposite.
"We probably cannot leave directly, because on our ship, there is a poor soul troubled by a demon."
"May the Emperor be above, he surely would not wish to see demons wreak havoc again."
Demon?
When these two words appeared, the Holy City Guards opposite quickly became vigilant.
And the leading middle-aged man looked at Lu Jin with sharp eyes, asking him very seriously.
"Where is the person possessed by a demon?"
Immediately after, everyone's gaze fell on Yu Tiancang.
Yu Tiancang, who hadn't even reacted yet, was directly bound by the Holy City Guards with a rope made of nano-grade material.
Yu Tiancang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Lu Jin.
"What exactly is going on?"
+++
Chapter 60 Healing! Perfectly Mastered!
"Do you remember what I told you before?"
"You get on the ship, and I'll help you with your illness."
"Right now, I am helping you with your illness."
Treating an illness?
Is this how you treat an illness?
Directly tying up the patient with ropes made of nanomaterials.
If one didn't know better, they'd think it was some kind of monstrous beast!
But Lu Jin reassured Yu Tiancang, stating that as his first recruited crew member, Lu Jin would never let him suffer any harm.
Immediately after, Lu Jin no longer focused his attention on Yu Tiancang.
Now, his primary task was to increase the favorability of these Holy City Guards!
And the method to increase favorability was incredibly simple!
It was to praise the Sacred Emperor.
In the perception of the Golden Humans, the existence of the Sacred Emperor was supreme; their existence was to serve the Sacred Emperor.
Because of this, Lu Jin often used this method to gain favorability in his previous life.
As long as it involved the Sacred Emperor, even if it meant traversing mountains of blades and seas of fire, the Golden Humans would pursue it.
It was also because of this that the unity of the Golden Humans was one of the strongest among all races!
After all, facing such a group of fanatical believers, it was truly difficult for ordinary people to blend in.
Soon, they entered the ship-city under the guidance of the Holy City Guards!
"Brother Lu Jin, I didn't expect your faith in the Sacred Emperor to be so devout!"
"Many of your insights even make me feel inferior!"
"I feel that with your faith in the Sacred Emperor, you are qualified to serve as a Sanctuary Priest!"
"Would you consider staying in the Holy City?"
In just the time it took to walk a short distance, the attitude of these Holy City Guards towards Lu Jin had undergone a drastic change.
Even with their helmets on, one could feel their fervent gazes fixed on Lu Jin.
Lu Jin, however, politely declined the invitation from the Holy City Guards.
"Believe me, every action of the Holy City is watched by the Sacred Emperor."
"One day in the future, the Sacred Emperor will return to the Star Sea, and your contributions will be praised by the Sacred Emperor!"
Upon hearing these words, all the Holy City Guards couldn't help but show solemn respect!
They hadn't expected such words to come from Lu Jin, a human from outside the Holy City.
The Holy City Guards now regarded Lu Jin as their sworn brother.
Looking at the fervent Holy City Guards, Lu Jin gazed at the sky.
Lu Jin knew very well that the Sacred Emperor worshipped by these Golden Humans was not a vague religious product like a god.
In his previous life, Lu Jin also initially thought that the Sacred Emperor was merely a god imagined by the Golden Humans.
But when the Assimilation War broke out, at the moment billions of Subspace Demons swept through the Holy City!
An unknown power instantly erupted, and billions of Subspace Demons were instantly reduced to ashes.
And after the power erupted, the Golden Humans seemed to have activated a cheat, giving birth to a large number of terrifying existences at the General level!
This also made the Golden Humans one of the strongest resistance forces in the Assimilation War!
When other forces asked the Golden Humans why they were so powerful, they said that it was all a gift from the Sacred Emperor.
Only this explanation could account for the sudden appearance of that immense power and the sudden rise of the Golden Humans!
Therefore, some of what Lu Jin said was to gain favorability with the Holy City.
On the other hand, it was also heartfelt.
Perhaps the Sacred Emperor was watching this city even now!
Under the guidance of the Holy City Guards, they arrived directly in front of a church-like building.
"This is our Temple, and within the Temple are Sanctuary Priests."
"Please rest assured, Brother Lu Jin, since he is your crew member."
"Then, we will definitely expel and annihilate the Subspace Demon within him!"
"Believe me, brother!"
Yu Tiancang, tied up, looked at these Holy City Guards with some disbelief.
They're already calling each other brothers?
Your familiarity developed a bit too quickly!
"That..."
Yu Tiancang originally thought that since their relationship was so harmonious, he would ask if he could be untied first.
But before he could finish his sentence, the Holy City Guard next to him immediately changed his expression.
"Shut up! Subspace Demon!"
"Every word and action of yours now will become your torment and suffering later!"
For a moment, Yu Tiancang felt offended.
How had he already become a Subspace Demon?
Lu Jin, however, shook his head; just as they were loyal to the Sacred Emperor, these Golden Humans held an extreme aversion to Subspace Demons.
Lu Jin guessed that the disappearance of the Sacred Emperor was most likely inextricably linked to the Subspace Demons.
Entering the interior of the Temple, Lu Jin was immediately drawn by its luxury.
The magnificent Temple was like a true work of art.
In the center of the Temple, a statue of the Sacred Emperor, crafted from gold, stood there.
The Sacred Emperor, clad in heavy armor, had an indiscernible face, but even as a statue, he exuded an imposing aura of silent authority!
Around the statue stood several Sanctuary Priests in golden robes.
They prayed devoutly to the Sacred Emperor, begging him to protect his people.
Finally, in the corners of the Temple, Sanctuary Warriorss in power armor stood motionless like statues.
But Lu Jin could clearly feel that from the moment they stepped into the Temple.
The gazes of these Sanctuary Warriorss had fallen upon them; if Lu Jin and the others made the slightest move, these Sanctuary Warriorss would not hesitate to strike!
Just then, one of the Sanctuary Priests seemed to sense something.
He turned around and fixed his gaze on Yu Tiancang.
His profound and devout gaze made Yu Tiancang feel as if his soul was seen through.
And at this moment, Yu Tiancang felt his old problem acting up.
An inexplicable anger burned in his chest, and Yu Tiancang only felt a wave of irritation.
He frowned deeply, while the Sanctuary Priest opposite him sighed.
"Another mortal seduced by a Subspace Demon."
"But don't worry, the Subspace Demon within you is still weak."
"Come with me; after the baptism of holy water, you will be reborn."
The other Sanctuary Priests were also drawn by the situation here.
Yu Tiancang, tied up, felt like a monkey in a zoo, on display for people to admire, feeling utterly uncomfortable.
Soon after, a Sanctuary Priest walked over, holding a golden chalice.
Inside the golden chalice was a cup of seemingly ordinary holy water.
The Sanctuary Priest muttered incantations, and the next second, he directly splashed the holy water onto Yu Tiancang.
At this moment, Yu Tiancang felt the anger in his heart erupt instantly, as if a barrel of gasoline had been poured onto it!
"Damn it! Lu Jin! You wouldn't be tricking me, would you?!"
"First, being chased by the Black Stone Pirates, and now ending up in this strange place!"
"This holy water is completely useless!"
