Chapter 1648: Envoy to Douluo Planet
Chapter 1648: Chapter 1648: Envoy to Douluo Planet
For Lan Xuanyu, however, these matters were not of great significance, because three days later, he had already set off.
Three transport ships loaded with various resources, along with the Sky Domination Clan warship that Lan Xuanyu was originally on, silently took off from Sky Horse Star and headed straight for outer space.
This time, accompanying Lan Xuanyu were still his own people, the men from the Blue Sea Tribe. In addition to the original thousand, the Blue Sea Tribe dispatched five thousand clan members who had experience in Warship Driving to accompany Lan Xuanyu, responsible for the operation of the transport ships. In non-combat situations, they had no problem with mere flight.
Lan Xuanyu’s promotion to Secondary Dragon Leader was quite a stimulus for the Blue Sea Tribe. They were absolutely certain that they had followed the right person and were naturally loyal to Lan Xuanyu.
This was the Secondary Dragon Leader! Second only to one in the Dragon Horse Star System, above millions of others.
Even the Dragon Knights had to obey his commands. Following such a lord, the rise of the Blue Sea Tribe truly had hope!
Thinking about this, the Blue Sea Tribe’s leaders were extremely excited; no one wanted to remain a servant forever!
Therefore, the fleet belonged entirely to Lan Xuanyu’s people.
Once the warships entered outer space and began to accelerate, Lan Xuanyu attempted to contact his parents. Soon, a connection through divine consciousness was established. As he expected, the Silver Armored Roc warship was monitoring the situation not far from Sky Horse Star.
Lan Xuanyu locked in the coordinates and directly used space teleportation to arrive aboard the Silver Armored Roc warship.
Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena were already waiting there, and upon seeing his arrival, they couldn’t help but smile.
"Dad, Mom," Lan Xuanyu exclaimed, rushing forward to give each of them a big hug.
Tang Wulin smiled and said, "What are you up to? Isn’t it possible to reach Sky Dragon Planet via teleportation?"
Lan Xuanyu gave a mysterious smile and said, "I’m not going to Sky Dragon Planet! Guess where I’m heading?"
Tang Wulin pondered for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that you’re being sent as an envoy to our Douluo Federation?"
Now it was Lan Xuanyu’s turn to be stunned, "How did you guess that?"
Tang Wulin was equally surprised and couldn’t help but laugh, "Those folks in the Dragon Horse Star System have quite the nerve. Sending you as an envoy to our Douluo Federation. It’s not hard to guess, considering it’s not to Sky Dragon Planet. With the Deep Red Realm now having left in teleportation, the only truly safe places in the entire Dragon Horse Star System are Sky Dragon Planet and Sky Horse Star. Since it’s neither Sky Dragon Planet nor Sky Horse Star, it certainly wouldn’t be elsewhere in the Dragon Horse Star System. Given your previous accomplishments, they wouldn’t send you to your death. Besides, you’re traveling with transport ships. Coupled with the assistance we’ve provided them before, it’s quite apparent they’re sending an envoy to connect with us."
Lan Xuanyu truly admired his father’s meticulous thinking, which had logically deduced his destination. He nodded and said, "Exactly. The Deep Red Realm has now returned to Celestial Harmony Star. The Celestial Harmony Clan might..."
At this point, his expression dimmed. Though he held no particular fondness for the Celestial Harmony Clan, the thought of billions of lives couldn’t be ignored. The outcome with the Deep Red Realm descending upon Celestial Harmony Star was predictable.
Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena couldn’t help but frown. Gu Yuena said seriously, "From the Deep Red Realm’s perspective, it’s most advantageous to target Celestial Harmony Star now that they can’t accomplish anything against the Dragon and Horse Dual Stars. Is the Dragon Horse Federation seeking to unite with the Douluo Federation to resist?"
Lan Xuanyu nodded and briefly recounted what he had seen, heard, and thought during the meeting.
"The Void Bug is in our possession now; its control over space elements is unparalleled. If it assists us, when the Deep Red Realm teleports next time, we might be able to give it a surprise. Once it can’t escape, it’ll be much easier to handle."
Gu Yuena nodded and said, "That’s right. However, you also need to be cautious on the Federation’s side. Not many know your true identity upon your return this time, but the high echelons of the military are aware. Originally, there were three fleets, but in the end, only the Seventh Fleet arrived. Do you know why?"
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes flashed, "Internal political strife?"
Tang Wulin said, "Politics is always the most distasteful thing, each person’s intentions differ. After this incident, the Seventh Fleet also has its complications, having disobeyed certain orders. Although Admiral Bai Ling holds an eminent position and hasn’t received any orders yet, internal obstacles in the Douluo Federation are inevitable. It’s unfavorable for his future."
Lan Xuanyu said, "This is not the time for power struggles. If the Deep Red Realm isn’t dealt with, once she achieves the Divine Realm, it will be the greatest disaster. Doesn’t the Federation understand even this point?"
Gu Yuena said, "Of course they understand. But there are voices saying that even if the Dragon Horse Federation is destroyed, the Deep Red Realm’s target may not be us. After all, we are not the object of the Deep Red Realm’s devouring."
Tang Wulin couldn’t help but sneer, "Those people are so short-sighted. I’m certain that if the Deep Red Realm achieves the Divine Realm, the first thing it will do is not to unify the entire Dragon Horse Star System, but to destroy Douluo Planet and even erase everything related to it."
Lan Xuanyu asked in shock, "Why is that?"
Tang Wulin said, "Don’t forget, we originally had a Divine Realm. Our original Divine Realm was based on Soul Land. The original God King who ruled the Divine Realm was your grandfather, also the founder of the Tang Sect. I’m almost certain our Divine Realm still exists, and your grandfather and grandmother are still out there. Although I don’t know what troubles they encountered, I’m certain that once they resolve them, they’ll come looking for us. For the Divine Realm to return, the most essential thing is its coordinates. Mother of Deep Red will certainly surmise this, and I even suspect the former abyssal plane had ties with her. The primary goal of the former abyssal plane attempting to devour our Douluo Planet wasn’t just our life energy but also our divinity. The life core of Douluo Planet is actually your great-grandmother, the plane master being your great-grandfather. Under your grandfather’s grant, they possess powerful divinity. Whether it’s the Deep Red Realm or the abyssal plane, whoever achieves the Divine Realm will eventually face the possibly returning original Divine Realm. Without a doubt, their Divine Realm could never match up to the one your grandfather ruled. So, do you think they’d want to erase everything related to Douluo Planet, making it impossible for your grandfather to find his way back?"
Lan Xuanyu drew in a sharp breath, not because he lacked wits, but because he hadn’t experienced the earlier events, making it difficult to consider this perspective. Listening to his father’s detailed explanation, he finally realized that Douluo Planet wasn’t as safe as he’d thought.
In fact, when facing the Deep Red Realm, he wasn’t that tense mainly because the battlefield wasn’t on his homeland, not on Douluo Planet, nor on the Administrative Planets controlled by the Douluo Federation.
But after hearing his father’s words, he understood that the crisis facing Douluo Planet was in no way lesser than that facing the Dragon Horse Federation.
Tang Wulin continued, "Thus, under no circumstances can we let Mother of Deep Red succeed. When my memories were revived, I once felt that somewhere in the vast space, there seemed to be familiar auras. This implies that your grandfather and others might indeed be on their way back. Until they return, we must protect our home by all means."
