Chapter 193 Return

The ten starships sent out to explore the border star are flying back one after another.

Li Yi's team's starship did not return with Mu Tianlei and Lin Wendong's starship.

They still need to continue guarding and waiting for new rotation personnel to arrive to continue exploring.

On this day, outside the border star, a small starship slowly sailed into the range of the star gate's eternal glow.

Not long after, after confirming the new version of the authority key, they entered the border star range and soon entered the main base located underground in the highest mountain range of the border star.

…

In a training ground inside the starship.

Li Yi was meditating slowly and receiving the divine radiation emitted by several newly acquired B-level divine nuclei.

Of course, several of his personal collections, A-level nuclei as big as small houses, were also placed on one side, slowly releasing various colored radiation lights.

These B-level divine cores were naturally taken from those drifting mecha corps.

The previous fight was too fierce, and several of them were damaged too thoroughly. Some parts disappeared completely, or the divine core was directly shattered, making it impossible to restore them to normal divine mechas.

Therefore, Li Yi simply asked for it. When calculating the military merits in the future, these would naturally be counted in the scope of what had been received and would no longer be counted repeatedly.

Since their routes conflicted and their sequences didn't match, naturally no one competed with him for it.

It’s a pity that the A-level unit was intact, otherwise Li Yi would have brought it over and radiated it for a few days.

In the last battle, he fought vigorously and vigorously, and there were already some signs of growth.

After these four or five days, this divine gene will finally be generated.

He began to drink the regular nutrient solution provided by the starship, drinking large amounts of it.

Although these nutrient solutions cannot be compared with the side-effect-free versions he had before, drinking them a few times temporarily is not a big problem considering his strong physique.

Not long after, under the stimulation of these nutrient solutions, the 21st divine gene in the body finally began to shine.

Li Yi felt waves of comfort coming from deep within his body and couldn't help but let out a long roar.

But thinking that this was just a small starship and that other teammates were next door, he endured it.

He felt it lightly and found that the characteristic of this new one should be the ice prison characteristic.

Including this one, there are seven Pluto divinities now, and it is not far from the full collection of nine.

"Unfortunately, there are still no gravity-related properties."

Li Yi sighed slightly and was about to consolidate his thoughts.

Suddenly, the driver in front sent a message:

"We have landed at the Border Star Lord Base. All mecha operators can leave the ship."

…

Everyone packed up and took the injured Lin Huiyi off the ship.

Sudden.

Clap, clap, clap! Thunderous applause rang out in unison.

A group of people gathered in front of the hangar, their eyes filled with relief, emotion, joy and many other emotions, staring closely at Li Yi's team members who were walking down the ladder one after another.

Everyone discovered that the leader of this group of people was actually the second admiral of the border star, He Guangzhi, whom they had met before.

At this moment, He Guangzhi's dignified yet warm eyes met Li Yi's, and then he nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"It seems that you still don't know what kind of history you have created, and what kind of indelible mark you will leave in history."

"Congratulations to you, congratulations to you."

"Li Yi, you led the team to discover the heritage relics that mankind has longed for. Don't you plan to make a statement?"

Li Yi was a little surprised.

According to his understanding, even if they really discovered the heritage ruins, they should handle it in a low-key manner in the end to prevent the news from spreading too widely and reaching spies, causing the heritage ruins to be targeted by aliens.

But this was a large-scale mobilization. When he glanced over, he detected the auras of at least seven Heavenly Rank powerhouses.

In addition, there are also many people who are in the stage of three-in-one integration and can complete the adjustment at any time and then be promoted to the heavenly position.

With so many strong men gathered here, does it mean that there is no need for defense, or what? However, since He Guangzhi had brought up the topic, he could not help but answer it. After thinking about it, he simply smiled and said:

"To be honest, I don't have any real sense of making history. After all, I have always believed that history lies not in great moments but in countless ordinary moments."

"It is because of the hard work of the soldiers stationed at the border day and night, and the bloody battles with aliens every day, that we can safely explore the rear of the ruins."

“Without the help of the two Heavenly Officers Mu and Lin, I believe we would not be able to accomplish this.”

"It was the surging tide of humanity's desire for progress and strength that pushed me toward this heritage relic."

"Thanks."

No one expected such words, and several powerful Heavenly Rank masters nodded secretly.

Many soldiers present also felt it was very useful and smiled happily.

In the corners, there are people with disabilities quietly wiping away tears.

There are at least thousands of people gathered here, and I don’t know what He Guangzhi’s purpose is in bringing so many people to this occasion.

After Li Yi finished speaking, he didn't pay too much attention. While everyone was still not able to react, he walked quickly downstairs, trying to avoid the crowd.

Others followed suit and wanted to leave the occasion quickly.

Although I was very happy to have such a moment that attracted everyone's attention, since Captain Li Yi was taking the lead, there was naturally no need to hesitate and I just followed him.

However, He Guangzhi did not seem to intend to let Li Yi go. He flashed and stood in front of Li Yi, smiling and said:

"Li Yi, you can't just leave like this. What you said just now was very good. It's worth it that I specially organized such a large number of people to support you. However, it's not enough. Say something else."

Li Yi had a headache. As the top expert on the border star, was He Guangzhi so idle?

Do you want him to speak? At this time, He Guangzhi's voice transmission had quietly reached Li Yi's ears, and he only heard him say:

"Don't be surprised. People are like this. They need some spiritual support from time to time. Before you, it was Zhang Shengfeng. Now, you can do it too."

Li Yi thought about it and simply sent a voice message back:

"General, what you mean is that the morale of the border planet is low and they need an outsider mecha division to boost their morale?"

These words were a bit hurtful, but He Guangzhi still smiled and said in a voice transmission without moving his lips:

"Morale cannot be boosted when it is about to disappear, but it must be replenished before it falls back to the middle."

"You may be wondering why such an important matter as the discovery of the heritage ruins cannot be handled in a low-key manner. After all, the aliens are always eyeing them."

"In fact, what the aliens were looking for was not the heritage relics from the beginning to the end."

"The so-called aliens are eyeing the heritage relics covetously, but in fact, it is just our propaganda."

Hearing this, Li Yi was suddenly speechless.

Indeed, since he came here, he has heard many people say that the real goal of the aliens is to find the relics of inheritance.

But the problem is that humans and aliens have been fighting for a long time and have captured a lot of prisoners, but the amount of useful intelligence they have actually obtained is actually very limited.

In this case, how can humans determine what the aliens' real goal is? He subconsciously did not doubt the source of the information, so he did not notice this flaw.

Thinking of this, Li Yi suddenly felt that his understanding of He Guangzhi had been refreshed.

This old fox! As soon as Li Yi heard He Guangzhi's voice transmission and looked at his expression, he knew that this so-called publicity strategy must be the idea of ​​the person in front of him.

Immediately, Li Yi asked in a voice transmission: "So, General He, what is the purpose of such propaganda? What is the real goal of the aliens?"

He Guangzhi smiled and continued to transmit:

"The purpose of the propaganda is, first, to deceive the cult's insiders, and second, to hide what we have actually uncovered."

"Think about it, the heritage ruins are certainly important, but would we really put our bets on people like you who are participating in the competition?"

"Asking you to find the heritage ruins was just a cover. But we didn't expect it to be successful, and it brought us double the profits."

"As for the real goal, I will tell you when you become a mid-level Heavenly Rank or above. Don't feel unbalanced. Look at Mu Tianlei, Lin Wendong and the others, they don't know either."

"I'm telling you so much because I see that you have a clear background and have made great contributions. I'm sure you can't be a cult spy."

"In short, let's put on a full show and make the glory of your finding the heritage ruins even brighter and more dazzling."

Li Yi transmitted his voice: "...Commander, are you going to make us targets?"

He Guangzhi smiled and nodded and waved to the people around him, without moving his lips, he continued to transmit the message:

"You are already the champion, so why can't you make a big fuss about it? Besides, since you decided to take first place and you took first place, then naturally there will be corresponding attention. This is inevitable, isn't it?"

Li Yike ignored these rhetoric and continued to transmit: "So, the commander doesn't mean to make us targets, right?"

He Guangzhi replied:

"Don't worry. If we can't protect you, wouldn't that be a slap in my face? Young man, don't worry too much. Go get the honor that belongs to you. Get it openly!"

"Also, don't think that the Heritage Ruins are unimportant just because I said it was a cover."

"In fact, this is the honor you have earned, so stay and accept everyone's cheers for you."

"If you have any more questions, come see me in the office later."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Now that things have come to this, Li Yi really can't refuse anymore.

So he stayed and opened his hands.

This wave of the hand was like a signal, and a group of people rushed up, but He Guangzhi disappeared somewhere unknown.

Then, Li Yi was thrown into the air, caught, and thrown up again as if he were a tossed ball, with the crowd cheering continuously.

For a moment, the entire hangar was bustling with activity.

Not only Li Yi, but everyone else in the group could not escape this process.

The entire serious war base was extremely lively, as if it were a festival.

Originally, Li Yi found it difficult to understand why these people were so excited, but as they kept asking him questions, he suddenly understood.

Yes, these people have been holding on here until now. In addition to resisting the attacks of aliens, their daily life must be very boring except for training.

After a long time, I can't help but doubt the meaning of staying here.

But when the target that had been publicized to be jointly fought over by aliens and humans was found first by humans.

That excitement, that joy.

There is probably no greater comfort to the spirit than the feeling of finally achieving a goal that may not be achieved even after long and hard struggle.

Once he realized this, Li Yi slowly blended into the joyful atmosphere of the crowd and began to relax.

As everyone cheered, all kinds of delicious food were brought up by the food delivery robots.

Soon, everyone started to enjoy the food.

Zhang Pengting was infected by the atmosphere. He jumped to a high place and sang military songs wildly.

For a moment, there were many responses.

After the song was finished, someone started shouting “Li Yi, Li Yi”, and it seemed like they wanted Li Yi to sing.

…

After an unknown amount of time, the excitement gradually faded away, and everyone in Li Yi's group finally calmed down.

Suddenly, a group of people walked down from the starship that had been parked for a long time on the other side.

When everyone looked, wasn’t it the Ning Feiyu group?

Ning Feiyu came over first, made a congratulatory gesture to Li Yi, and said with a smile:

"Congratulations, Li Yi. Now everyone in the border star, even the robots in the kitchen, have heard of your name."

"It's just a coincidence that our ship arrived earlier than yours. When we saw so many people outside, we knew they were waiting for you. What do you think? We are quite sensible, right?"

"Of course, the last fight was fair competition. I hope you don't mind."

"Don't worry, if I really cared, I wouldn't let you go right there and then."

Li Yi patted the wrinkles on his uniform and smiled, "You look so happy. Does it seem like you have made any discoveries since then?"

Ning Feiyu nodded and said:

"Yes, I might as well tell you this. We went back to the Ice Dragon River on Planet 5 and explored deeper."

"Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened, and we also discovered a valuable relic."

Li Yi was surprised. Could it be true that the Stardust Corridor really hides many relics as rumored? Ning Feiyu smiled and said, "Don't worry. Although it is valuable, it is indeed not as valuable as your heritage relics. By the way, we also obtained a kind of language information, which should be different from the one obtained on the surface of Binglongchuan. If you are interested, I can give you this information as a thank you for letting us go last time."

Li Yi came back to his senses and nodded, "That's great. This kind of first-hand material is exactly what I need."

Immediately, Ning Feiyu sent the information over the communication without saying anything.

Li Yi turned on his personal communicator, looked at the information displayed on it, and nodded slightly.

It is indeed a language completely different from the surface ruins of Binglongchuan, and the surface text is mostly engraved on the stone walls of caves, which is a relatively primitive text.

However, the texts that Ning Feiyu and his team discovered in the deep layer this time were recorded on pieces of special paper.

This special material is somewhat similar to the experimental record paper that Li Yi had obtained from the gourd man's notes before.

From this, we can also judge that the ruins discovered by Ning Feiyu and his team indeed belong to a divine civilization.

It seems that based on Li Yi's judgment, there is another relic of time and space, which means that three relics have been discovered in this Stardust Corridor.

Adding the four that previous data showed have been discovered, there are a total of seven relics related to divine civilization.

Of course, the ruins of time and space may not be divine civilizations, but there are still six of them at least.

Li Yi thought, could it be that this Stardust Corridor was once a city area for divine civilized people? ...

There were still a few hours left before the deadline for returning and the final results of the competition were announced, so the team simply went to the training room where they had stayed last time to rest.

Originally, some people enthusiastically wanted to take them to a better location, saying that the training equipment there was definitely better, but Li Yi and others refused.

At this point, the quality of the equipment has little impact. Anyway, I can’t do any difficult training in the next few hours. I can only practice fighting on a small scale or receive some divine radiation.

Or take a rare break and chat.

Lin Xiaohu, who estimated that he would not be able to make it into the top ten, also put aside his awkwardness in the excitement just now.

Yes, although my personal points are not enough, I have witnessed and participated in history, and made great contributions to the progress of human civilization. This honor can never be surpassed by the opportunity to visit the ruins on Earth.

It’s no wonder, after the last hustle and bustle, now that he has calmed down, Li Yi feels some subtle touches in his soul, as if he has broken through a boundary that he had never noticed.

He had a vague feeling that this matter arranged by He Guangzhi seemed to have cleansed their souls.

After all, humans are social creatures, and being under the spotlight and feeling everyone's heartfelt gratitude and joy is indeed beneficial to the upliftment of the soul.

He closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and found that he was much more efficient in digesting redundant memories.

In other words, by absorbing the same memory fragments, the speed of his soul improvement will also increase accordingly.

“It’s about 10% faster.”

Li Yi was filled with joy.

Even though it's only a 10% improvement, his system can digest it very quickly and the base is not low. Even if it's just a slight improvement, it's a huge improvement in efficiency.

Although I haven't measured the soul capacity, after these two months, it should be able to hold forty or fifty, or even more divine genes, right? "I must maintain a higher soul reserve, so that my divine genes can condense faster."

"It would be best to increase the average from one pill a week to one pill every three or four days."

"So, we need to get more S-level and A-level divine cores."

As he was thinking, he realized that the time was almost up.

Sure enough, when he opened his eyes, he found that the voice of AI reminding them to go to the venue was constantly ringing.

"Everyone, let's go, the final results are about to come out."
