Han Ling patted Roderick's arm, and Roderick understood immediately. His back muscles tensed, his elytra trembled violently, and after a sonic boom, he led the female insects to accelerate westward once more.

The model city below them was experiencing rapid undulations and flips in its ground.

Then, a bright fire broke out on the ground.

A torrent of flames erupted, like a beacon fire, the towering flames licking their tongues and spreading throughout the entire city.

Han Ling's gaze sharpened, and he realized something was wrong.

"Roderick, speed up, we need to go faster!"

The science city consumes oxygen using flames. The science city is not located on a planet.

The atmosphere and air here were created and filled in later.

Han Ling felt a little flustered.

The female insects are incredibly resilient; they can survive for a long time in space even without oxygen.

But the male insect's body does not allow it.

They need to resolve the immediate issue before the oxygen runs out.

The blinding firelight illuminated Roderick's silver-grey eyes.

Roderick tightened his grip on his arm and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, sir."

In fact, ever since Roderick took off, he realized that this technology city didn't seem to be a planet.

Female insects that frequently take off from a stationary position know that once their bodies are in mid-air, the ground they see will appear distorted because planets are round.

The view from above the science and technology city is unlike that of other planets.

When they first arrived at the science city, they hadn't had a chance to take a good look around before Anson interrupted them and took them into the aircraft, which is why they missed the opportunity to observe.

After flying for about a minute, the shouts behind them gradually subsided.

Since they didn't have to travel, Han Ling and the male insects took the opportunity to turn their heads and look back, following the wind direction.

Because of the attack on the technology city, those behind them, though still alive, were slowed down and left far behind.

Only the human from Blue Star who had spoken with Han Ling earlier followed steadily behind the group.

They seemed to have erected a defensive shield, and even when attacked by laser cannons, their flight speed remained unchanged. Only the defensive shield, which occasionally flashed with golden runes, swayed slightly.

At this moment, the intelligent race was being attacked by the Technology City like madmen. Those people were already a little angry, and they believed Han Ling's previous words to some extent. They were also eager to communicate with Han Ling.

Han Ling's eyes met those of the Blue Star human leader behind him. The leader, riding a flying sword radiating both red and blue light, shouted:

“I am Sun Zhu, a police officer from Blue Star. You can always trust us and tell us everything you know.”

Upon hearing this, Han Ling's face darkened, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

I'm not a human from Earth, why should I believe you?

However, because of what he had seen in the river of time, Han Ling had a natural affinity for the human race of Blue Star. After thinking about it, he compressed the story and told Sun Zhu.

"There was an intelligent race that was good at divination. Twenty thousand years ago, they predicted that the Tech City would launch an attack on all intelligent races at this time, causing the intelligent races to be wiped out in the universe."

That intelligent race had rehearsed countless times, but the only outcome was destruction. However, they then saw me, and they saw hope for a change in the situation.

Just now, I spotted the movements of the AI ​​in the Science City; their extermination plan has already begun.

The AI ​​of the Tech City will pilot the warships of our various intelligent races back along the same route. It will then command mechanical creations to launch a devastating attack on the planet.

Now, we need to resolve this matter.

Han Ling's voice was loud, and his words carried by the wind to everyone's ears, including those of the less advanced intelligent races.

Those behind him fell silent and began to ponder these words. For a moment, the air became quiet, and even the curses disappeared.

A moment later, Sun Zhu's shout came again.

What makes you special? Why were you chosen to be the savior?

Our Blue Star human race has only sent Mahayana stage cultivators to participate in the competition. Those Tribulation Transcending stage old monsters are all in seclusion. Moreover, my grandmaster has already ascended to the Immortal Realm and could descend to the mortal realm at any time. Even if a battle were to occur, it would be our Blue Star human race fighting to the very end!

Han Ling narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

He wasn't very familiar with the cultivation system of the human race on Earth, and he was shocked to hear this.

The one sent by the Blue Star human race was not the strongest person in their race?

Han Ling whispered to Roderick:

"If you were to fight Sun Zhu, could you beat him?"

Sun Zhu's speed is no less than Roderick's. The reason Sun Zhu is slightly behind is only because Roderick and his team seized the initiative.

To everyone's surprise, Roderick said without turning his head:

"I can fight. I shattered their protective shields with a single punch, very easily. According to him, I should be an old monster in their clan who has reached the Tribulation Transcending stage. As for the Immortal Realm he mentioned, I don't understand it."

Upon hearing this, Han Ling felt a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

Sun Zhu's question touched on his blind spot.

Previously, Han Ling thought that the Wu Clan chose the Yao Clan because of the marriage alliance between the Yao Clan and the Insect Clan.

He was chosen because of his relationship with Roderick.

After all, Roderick was designated by the Zerg as the strongest warrior in StarCraft.

Only the strong can save the world.

When the Yao Clan and the Zerg join forces, Han Ling will be able to construct a spatial teleportation channel, leading Roderick to conquer various places and deal with the Tech City AI that is rampaging through the universe.

In Han Ling's view, the Yao Clan only played a supporting role in this war, and in the end, Roderick would have to take the lead.

But Sun Zhu's words woke him up.

There might not be anyone stronger than Roderick.

However, every interstellar race may have one or two individuals at the same power level as Roderick.

So what can Roderick change by crossing the space teleportation channel?

For a moment, Han Ling was confused and fell into deep thought.

Just then, Sun Zhu, standing behind him, pressed on again:

"Tell me then! Why did that race capable of divination choose you as their savior? What makes you special?"

Under Sun Zhu's persistent questioning, Han Ling hesitated for a long time before calling out to those behind him:

"Am I special enough that I don't belong to this universe?"

This was the only difference Han Ling could think of between him and other interstellar races.

"Not from this universe? How is that possible..." Sun Zhu muttered to himself, then, after thinking for a moment, continued to shout loudly, "How did you get here? Crossing universes is a technique used by immortals after ascension! My grandmaster said that the Ascension Ladder is a passage to another universe, and it is not easily opened. You are so weak, and you need others to protect you, how could you possibly be an immortal!"

Han Ling, who was deep in thought, was unwilling to accept this.

What does this person mean?

He is physically weak, but he has no outstanding strengths.

How can we judge his strength based on his current actions?

Hiding in Roderick's arms, Han Ling said disdainfully:

"You're being too arrogant. My mental strength is arguably the best in the universe!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhu continued shouting:

"What is spiritual power? Is it divine sense? If divine sense is strong, it can only be used for teleportation or to conceal one's cultivation level, right? What other use is it?"

We cultivators on Blue Star, upon breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and entering the Void Refinement stage, automatically have our Nascent Soul enter our divine sense, and we will begin cultivating that divine sense. Don't think we don't understand!

Han Ling was taken aback by these words. He had originally thought that the Blue Star human race was a race that focused on physical cultivation, but he did not expect that they also cultivated spiritual power. His words had failed to intimidate him.

However, what Sun Zhu said also reminded Han Ling of something.

Perhaps in this war, the spiritual power of the Yao Clan is not the most important factor.

Their identities are what matter most.

They are an intelligent race from another universe.

What could happen between two universes?

Han Ling scratched his head, completely unable to figure out how to connect the two universes.

Furthermore, the Yao Clan, including Han Ling himself, did not come directly from another universe.

They had long since left their original universe and entered the long river of time to slumber.

They traveled through time, constructing a spatial teleportation channel to reach this universe.
