Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

Chapter 424: 191, Celestial Vault Islands, reopen

“Use the Seventh Rank Space Fortress of the Intelligent Star Group to make a bomb that will destroy Earth…”

Lin Qing couldn’t help but ask through telekinesis: “There’s only a year and a half left until Earth opens up completely. Can we make it in time?”

“If everything goes smoothly, we should have enough time.” Chu Hongjun transmitted through telekinesis: “Didn’t you say you could still go to the Vacuum Tomb? Since it has an accelerated time environment there, I’ll give you a production device that runs automatically. You can take it through Different Space, and that should give you enough time to help me complete some parts of the device, making the explosion more powerful.”

Lin Qing transmitted through telekinesis: “That shouldn’t be a problem. But… isn’t Dean Chu able to enter the Golden Commerce in the Fourth Relic?”

The Golden Commerce relic is somewhat similar to an intermediary platform. It nurtures different intelligent life and mechanical clan bodies. As long as accurate information and coordinates are provided, it can help with purchasing or selling, given the right permissions.

Moreover, with the strength of a mechanical clan body and the space channel of the Golden Commerce, it’s absolutely safe.

Simply put, the Golden Commerce provides safe channels for buying and selling.

Only Three Star Level Cosmic Citizens from Earth have the qualification to become junior members of the Golden Commerce and can help purchase or sell at any Level One Civilization.

“Although I am a junior member of the Golden Commerce, I still can’t buy the most important materials and devices.”

Chu Hongjun transmitted through telekinesis: “The Golden Commerce only helps me with purchases in Level One Civilizations, but space-related materials are extremely rare even in 1.9 Level Civilizations and are not sold externally. Furthermore… there are only a few 1.9 Level Civilizations in the Milky Way, and it’s practically impossible to purchase much in a short time.”

Lin Qing understood.

The Golden Commerce is essentially just a runner, doing errands, but more safely and quickly.

It won’t forcibly take things that can’t be bought.

“So, we can only start with the Seventh Rank Space Fortress of the Intelligent Star Group.”

Chu Hongjun transmitted through telekinesis: “This is where your avatar Cardon needs to come in. Cardon’s permissions at Intelligent Star Group should be higher than Lei Tong’s, right?”

“Yes.” Lin Qing transmitted: “Cardon has Third Rank permissions in the Yuan Chen Civilization, while Lei Tong, although an Envoy for Yuan Chen, previously only had Fifth Rank permissions. He was given Fourth Rank permissions after becoming a Star-level Divine Officer.”

In Yuan Chen Civilization, the First Rank permissions are named ‘Sword of Yuan Chen’, and only the Governor has First Rank permissions.

Second Rank permissions belong to the three giants of the military department, commerce department, and monitoring department of the Yuan Chen Civilization.

The next level, Third Rank, is held by the various elders of the Elder Council.

“Can Cardon still access the core secrets of the Yuan Chen Civilization?” Chu Hongjun asked through telekinesis.

“Yes.”

Lin Qing transmitted: “The Governor has quite some trust in Cardon, and Cardon also has Second Level jurisdiction over the interstellar fleet stationed on Mars by the Yuan Chen Civilization.”

Chu Hongjun responded with a hum, transmitting: “That still can’t simply make Cardon betray Yuan Chen Civilization. Even if we want to seize the Seventh Rank Fortress, we need to maintain Yuan Chen’s trust in Cardon.”

“But… how can we do that?” Lin Qing transmitted.

If Lei Tong dies within the fortress, Yuan Chen Civilization would undoubtedly suspect Cardon first.

Because…

In the entire Intelligent Star Group, only Cardon can forcibly control the fortress beyond Lei Tong. Once Qi Lingxiao enters, besides Cardon, who else could be the second suspect?

“I’ve already devised a plan.”

Chu Hongjun transmitted: “The plan also requires your cooperation.”

Then, he looked at Qi Lingxiao and said: “Once the Celestial Vault Islands opens and closes, let’s prepare to move against the Outer World Civilization. Can you kill Lei Tong?”

Qi Lingxiao said helplessly: “If he doesn’t hide inside that turtle shell-like Seventh Rank Fortress, of course, I can kill him.”

“If you could get inside that Seventh Rank Fortress, how confident are you?” Chu Hongjun asked.

“Absolutely confident.” Qi Lingxiao said with assurance: “With Lei Tong’s level of strength, even with the treasures given by Yuan Chen Civilization, it’s just mediocre. If it takes me more than three hits to kill him, I’ll come back and eat ten pounds of blue-patterned cheese.”

“That’s good then.” Chu Hongjun nodded slightly.

Irenado suddenly asked: “Is it intended to involve Jiayi? Her Authority ‘Gate of Boundless’ indeed can teleport, but it can only do so within the range of her telekinesis perception. That Seventh Rank Fortress completely isolates telekinesis, and ‘Gate of Boundless’ won’t work unless she leaves a mark inside.”

“It has nothing to do with her.”

Chu Hongjun shook his head: “She can’t help, given her current strength. The space vortex formed by ‘Gate of Boundless’ can be forcibly dissipated with the power of the Star Abyss Fifth Floor, leaving no chance to stabilize the ‘Gate of Boundless’ in front of Lei Tong.”

Irenado frowned slightly, then said no more.

“Dean Chu.”

Lin Qing spoke up: “Why wait until the Celestial Vault Islands open and close? Acting earlier would also prevent the Outer World Civilization from competing with us, right?”

From the intelligence he brought back from the Vacuum Tomb, he had information on all the Sky Islands of the Celestial Vault Islands, which he naturally shared with these three.

Star-level Divine Officers can enter the upper layer of those nine Sky Islands.

“There isn’t any particular reason.”

Chu Hongjun said calmly: “It’s just that, with the Earth Destruction as deterrence, the precondition is that Earth must possess enough value. To deter 1.9 Level Civilizations and have them keep it confidential, Earth must show a value that drives them mad but too fearful to expose. This requires Lei Tong to personally witness the upper layer of the Celestial Vault Islands.”
