    Chapter 92: Pride (Subscription Request)

    [Killed a lower-level minion, gained 50 points!]
    [Rank: 3]

    Fang Xing lowered his head, glanced at his silver bracelet, and mused, “It seems someone else solo-killed an Evil God’s follower, or slaughtered a large number of examinees… The first place is probably Gu Jian Tong, but who’s the other one?”

    He turned and looked at Song Jingang.

    Song Jingang unconsciously stood at attention: “Boss… I’ve decided, I’ll follow you from now on!”

    His young, yet mature face was filled with sincerity.

    “Are you going out yourself, or should I send you out?”

    Fang Xing curled his lips.

    “Boss, I’m serious…” Song Jingang felt a little aggrieved.

    Although he had initially planned to test Fang Xing’s mettle, after witnessing the brutal scene of him solo-killing an Evil God’s minion, all his thoughts vanished.

    He never expected that the other party wouldn’t even let him be a follower!

    Fang Xing shook his head, his right hand forming a sword finger, about to strike.

    Cold sweat suddenly appeared on Song Jingang’s forehead, and he shouted, “Wait… When I was escaping, I saw Gu Jian Tong. I can take you to him… I know a unique tracking secret technique.”

    “Why would I look for Gu Jian Tong?” Fang Xing was puzzled.

    “Uh… Don’t you want to compete for first place in the Hundred Star Joint Examination?”

    Song Jingang was completely bewildered.

    “That… anyway, it’s not the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination), just go with the flow.” Fang Xing pointed his sword finger at Song Jingang, and the Exquisite Emotion Sword shot out.

    Song Jingang instantly felt like he was about to die…

    Bang!

    He fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face, spitting blood, but a hint of confusion flashed across his face: “Huh?”

    “Hmm?”

    Fang Xing grabbed Song Jingang’s collar and lifted him up: “Why weren’t you teleported out?”

    “I… I don’t know…”

    Song Jingang, struck by the Exquisite Emotion Sword, was now disheartened. Subconsciously, he raised his hand and entered a string of code.

    This was a pre-arranged surrender and withdrawal signal.

    But the silver bracelet remained motionless, as if it was broken.

    “What’s going on?”

    Fang Xing threw Song Jingang away like trash, then entered his password himself, only to find that he couldn’t get out either.

    “This secret realm…”

    He raised his head, his expression turning serious: “The rules have changed… It’s impossible to leave?”

    Fortunately, he mentally communicated with his attribute panel and found that the Gate of All Heavens could still be opened, ensuring a way out.

    But as long as Fang Xing wanted to stay in the Blue Star Federation, he certainly wouldn’t leave like this.

    Cosmic Fortress.

    On the plaza, countless projection screens suddenly went black.

    The occasional flashes of teleportation light also disappeared.

    “What’s happening?”

    Xia Long frowned, then saw Wei Shentong’s face suddenly turn grim, realizing something big had happened.

    “Report… The secret realm on the 073 trial planet has been attacked… Capturing energy waves… Confirmed to be the Gate Sect!”

    A researcher immediately reported to Wei Shentong.

    “The Gate Sect?! Damn it!”

    An astonishing killing intent erupted from Wei Shentong.

    This organization that worshipped Evil Gods was not only present on Aquila Star, but also on Hundred Machine Star, Young麟 Star… and even other territories of the Blue Star Federation, all bearing traces of its activities.

    “Why could the Gate Sect invade our spatial bubble and usurp our authority?”

    Wei Shentong calmed down. Now that it had happened, the focus should be on how to solve it and deal with the aftermath.

    “Preliminary analysis indicates it’s related to the power of the ‘Void Gate,’ an extra-dimensional Evil God!”

    The researcher wiped the sweat from his face: “The ‘Void Gate’ controls all concepts related to doors… In other words, it may have found a backdoor in our spatial bubble creation, a ‘BUG’…”

    Extra-dimensional Evil Gods don’t only possess power; this kind of conceptual ability is even more terrifying.

    There’s even an unproven extra-dimensional Evil God linked to ultimate conjectures in many mathematical problems. Once proven, it will truly descend!

    Many top mathematicians in the Federation, after delving into its trap-like conjectures, ended up either dead or mad…

    It is said that there is a highly classified mathematical research institute in the Blue Star Federation, constantly engaged in a special struggle with this unprovable extra-dimensional Evil God.

    “Another extra-dimensional Evil God has exposed a new ability?”

    Wei Shentong’s expression relaxed a bit.

    Extra-dimensional Evil God abilities are bizarre, but once exposed, there’s a possibility of research and cracking…

    Once thoroughly researched by the Federation, it basically means their doom!

    ‘It seems I can make amends for my past mistakes!’

    With this thought, he immediately ordered: “Order the research team to fight with all their might… Deploy the fortress guard team, and investigate the nearby star regions… Also, notify the defense bureaus of all nearby planets, I don’t want to see any more news about the Gate Sect!”

    “Yes!”

    One order after another was given, and the space fortress, like a war beast that had been whipped, began to operate frantically.

    Spaceships took off one after another, heading towards various parts of the cosmos.

    “This is…”

    Xia Long saw this scene, a worried look appearing on his face.

    With such a huge incident, how was his student doing?

    Inside the secret realm.

    In the center of the bloody and bizarre ritual, the young bishop opened his eyes: “Finally discovered, huh? But gaining this much time is enough.”

    “Bishop… The Federation is competing with us for control of the spatial bubble, and has inputted many new rules…”

    “Main targets have been located… Incidentally killed 972 Federation geniuses!”

    “Our strength is being limited, the Federation’s spatial technology has hidden aspects. Currently, this secret realm repels powers above the fourth realm!”

    One follower after another came forward, reporting the results with worried expressions.

    “Fourth realm?”

    The young bishop clenched his fist: “Such weak power… but enough. Where is Gu Jian Tong? This time, he is the main target!”

    “In the ‘Blade Peak Valley,’ three Saintesses and God-Children are already cooperating with protectors to trap him…”

    A follower bowed and answered.

    Saintesses and God-Children were honorary titles within the Gate Sect, quite rare.

    Basically, a planet could only have one Saintess and one God-Child.

    But with many planets, it’s not that valuable.

    “Then… only the final step remains.”

    The young bishop showed a slight smile, extending his right hand as if grasping an invisible doorknob in the void.

    The blood-painted ritual on the ground suddenly shone brightly!

    Ripples rippled through the void, seemingly transforming into an invisible door!

    Amidst a burst of silver light, he slowly turned the doorknob, as if opening a heavy door, a strained look on his face, his movements extremely slow.

    This is using the ritual to obtain the Void Gate’s power over the void!

    Although this approach will certainly be noticed by the Federation.

    But now that Wei Shentong already knew they were in the secret realm, it didn’t matter.

    Unless the other party dared to risk being imprisoned by using the war weapons in the space fortress to destroy the entire secret realm and kill all the students, otherwise it would be difficult to stop them!

    Click!

    The invisible door opened, the void on the other side hazy and illusory, faintly revealing a canyon.

    The young bishop took a step forward and entered the door, arriving at the canyon entrance.

    Boom!

    In the canyon, Gu Jian Tong erupted in brilliant light, his entire being like a small sun, taking a step forward.

    Under his feet, an Evil God minion resembling a small mountain seemed to be burned, revealing terrifying injuries and blisters. Its head exploded with a loud bang, collapsing heavily and raising a large amount of dust.

    “Too weak, too weak!”

    Gu Jian Tong looked at the several blood-soaked God-Children and Saintesses: “With just you… you dare to scheme against me? Who gave you the guts? Huh?”

    He turned his head, looking at the young bishop who had crossed the void, a smile finally appearing on his face: “The big fish has arrived, it was worth playing with them for so long…”

    “Gu Jian Tong, you are the child most favored by the gods, your abilities come from the gods’ gifts… Why are you still siding with the evil Blue Star civilization? Come… join us, your abilities will receive unimaginable development!”

    The young bishop’s voice carried a hint of temptation: “Moreover… you know the situation of Federation ability users.”

    “Hmph, my abilities come from my talent. Even extra-dimensional Evil Gods can only promote metaphysical mutation concepts, unable to anchor a specific individual to awaken specific abilities… Yet you say I am blessed by Evil Gods, you dare to ignore my talent and hard work?”

    Gu Jian Tong was furious!

    Awakened abilities are not under human control, but it doesn’t mean every ability user has a problem.

    In fact, ability users who died in battle and contributed to various aspects of the Federation are countless.

    One can only say that one’s background cannot be chosen, but one’s path can be chosen!

    Moreover… the Federation is now vigorously promoting the cultivation of Martial Dao by ability users, promoting the research and development of ‘Yi Wu’ (combining abilities and Martial Dao)!

    Because the will of Martial Dao can resist the pollution and erosion of Evil Gods.

    Big data shows that most strong individuals who cultivate both abilities and Martial Dao still stand on the side of humanity!

    Because of this, ability user examinees in the Gaokao every year have not been discriminated against and can take the exam and be admitted normally…

    “Inflexible… such a top-notch ability is a pity.”

    The young bishop frowned.

    If possible, he would naturally want to win over and corrupt this top talent from Young麟 Star, then use him as an undercover agent in the Blue Star Federation, maximizing his interests.

    Unfortunately… this Gu Jian Tong is too proud!

    Then he could only forcibly subdue him and then use the power of the gods to pollute him…

    But this would certainly leave hidden traces, with a 40-50% chance of being detected by the Blue Star Federation, making it impossible to do anything significant.

    He moved his mind, and countless silver threads suddenly appeared in the void of the canyon, densely packed, as if about to turn into a large silver cocoon, trapping Gu Jian Tong within it.

    “Psychic Master? One thought, one reality?”

    Gu Jian Tong licked his lips: “It seems your true form is a big shot… unfortunately, in this secret realm that suppresses cultivation, I am invincible at my level!”

    His Qi and Blood surged, combined with his ‘Light Transformation’ ability, making it seem as if a white-hot sun had appeared on the spot!

    Under the sunlight, those silver threads were rapidly disappearing, like spring snow melting in the sun…
