Chu Zixuan had been tracking Du Gang since he boarded the aircraft.
Upon seeing him conversing with the alien in Honeymoon City, Chu stayed twenty kilometers away and did not approach rashly, patiently waiting for their conversation to end.
When he saw the alien board the aircraft and leave, that’s when Chu hailed the pilot. He piloted his helicopter and flew in Du’s direction.
After watching the departure of Pang Ze, ultimately entering a kilometer-class spaceship leaving Earth, Du Gang turned his attention back to the small computer, the size of a watch, which he toyed with absentmindedly.
This watch was similar to the one Pang Ze had on. It looked just like a child’s watch, dark blue, and square.
He pressed one of the buttons, and suddenly, a projection appeared out of thin air. A computer-like control panel was projected into the air.
On it, a chain of icons with labels. The first one that caught his eye was the icon labeled ‘Introduction to the powers of the Wasteland Star Zone’. He stretched out his hand, trying to click on it in the air. Suddenly, the projection interface changed, and a bunch of other text introductions appeared. Upon seeing this, Du Gang began to read attentively.
There were four Tier 3 forces in the Wasteland Star Region. Any newly formed force could choose to seek the protection of one of them…
After looking it over, seeking protection essentially meant paying taxes… Truly protecting them? Not at all!
This so-called tax was nothing more than the four Tier 3 forces getting together to impose a tax on lower-level forces.
Moreover, it wasn’t referred to as tax-paying at all, but a club membership fee.
Meaning, you could choose any alliance and pay your membership fee, the other three major alliances (other three Tier 3 forces) will not bother you.
If you don’t pay, then the four dominant forces might give you trouble…
Du Gang’s teeth sore at the idea. This was, in essence, protection money, cloaked under the name of a membership fee!
Still, the tax imposed by the four major alliances did not seem to be too much.
Additionally, Tier 1 forces needed to join a Wasteland Star Zone alliance. Similar to the above, not paying might invite trouble. However, this time, there is only one alliance. All forces must join and the membership fee seems to be higher.
He thought for a moment and basically understood. Initially, the four Tier 3 forces probably established an alliance of their own. As a result, the choices for Tier 1 forces were too random. Some won more, some less, and some forces were presumably dissatisfied.
Consequently, they established the Wasteland Star Zone Alliance. This time, they didn’t split into four but had only one. The membership fees collected in the end were probably divided evenly among the four Tier 3 forces. This could explain why this seemingly useless alliance had a higher membership fee.
“As expected, exploitation is everywhere. Although the universe does not have the law of the Dark Forest, there is the risk of ‘Star Thieves’ messing up if membership fees are not paid..
Du Gang mumbled a complaint before starting to look at the more detailed introduction of the forces.
The Cosmic Civilization Protection Association, a force that single-handedly abolished the Dark Forest law, has branches spread across the universe…
A whole page filled with ‘History and Greatness’.
Only on the second page did Du Gang see specific content.
Cosmic Civilization Protection Association – Wasteland Branch: Tier 3 force, one comet-level powerhouse, eight meteorite-level powerhouses, and an uncertain number of meteor-class powerhouses…
He discovered that the second page was very direct, flexing their muscles immediately. They laid out the power of their association in the Wasteland Star Zone. This probably had something to do with the respect for the strong that the universe practiced!
Assuming that on the third page there would be a more detailed introduction, he turned to it, only to find it’s all ‘Great Achievements’. From the third page to the sixteenth page, all the achievements the Wasteland branch had made from establishment to the present were listed.
“The only useful piece of information is the number of their powerhouses!”
Du Gang shrugged and exited the introduction of the Cosmic Civilization Protection Association, turning to look at the introductions of the other three Tier 3 forces.
Purple Orchid Space Bank – Wasteland Branch: Tier 3 force, one comet-level powerhouse, eight meteorite-level powerhouses, an uncertain number of meteor-class powerhouses…
Like the Cosmic Civilization Association, they also have eight meteorite-level powerhouses. From their name, it can be seen that this is a bank of the Purple Orchid Duchy, which has a foothold in the Wasteland Star Zone.
The third three-tiered force, called the Purple Orchid Business Group Wasteland Branch: Like the previous two forces, it has one comet-level and eight meteorite -level powerhouses.
When he saw the last force, he was surprised.
Hall of Gods, tier three force, station: Titan Star System, the origin planet, Titan…
One comet-level powerhouse, eleven meteorite-level powerhouses.
He didn’t know why but the other three forces did not note any names. But when introducing the Hall of Gods, the names of all twelve powerhouses were listed.
Zeus: The King of the Gods, comet-level, one of the twelve main gods…
Hera: Queen of the King of Gods, meteorite-level, one of the twelve main gods…
Poseidon: God of the Sea, meteorite-level, one of the twelve main gods…
He looked at the twelve names, they were consistent with the Twelve Main Gods of Greek mythology passed down on Earth!
“What in the world?”
He was stunned for a moment, quickly turned to the third page, and began to read the detailed introduction of the Hall of Gods.
Three thousand three hundred years ago, the Titan Star System was still under the rule of Cronus. At that time, the Hall of Gods had twelve Titan Gods… During the last days of Cronus’s life, he began to practice tyranny…
In the end, Zeus allied with the new gods and dethroned him…
Interestingly, there was a little remark added to this part of the information, “Cause of Cronus’s death: lifespan exhausted.” So, Zeus didn’t do it…
After reading all the contents of the entire ten pages, Du Gang finally understood.
The Titan Star System, where the Hall of Gods was stationed, was ruled by divine power. Those so-called gods were the comet-level, meteorite-level, and meteor-class forces!
The comet class was Zeus. the God King. The other eleven meteorite classes
were the main gods. The remaining meteor classes were the subordinate gods and lesser gods. Interestingly, their force had previously been ranked Tier 2. It wasn’t until Zeus broke through to comet level three thousand years ago that they were promoted to a Tier 3 force.
The other eleven main gods, after so many years, the god names remained the same, but the individuals had changed three or four times. For those who had died quickly, even seven or eight individuals had held the title before.
“So, is the so-called Greek Mythology actually a story inadvertently passed down to Earth by the Titans during a casual visit?”
“Wait, if that’s the case, is it possible that other mythological stories were also transmitted to Earth from the stars?”
Thinking this, Du Gang hurriedly turned to the Tier 2 forces to start looking.
Unfortunately, this time he flipped through the Tier 2 forces and also included the Tier 1 forces, but couldn’t find any familiar names.
“Well, it seems that other mythological stories were naturally born within the human race on Earth!”
Du Gang shook his head, feeling that he was overthinking. Journey to the West was written during the Ming Dynasty. It was probably Wu Cheng’en’s imagination.
Just then, the sound of a rotating propeller came in.
He looked up and saw a helicopter flying towards him from afar. Near the cabin door, Chu Zixuan was standing, looking at him from afar.
Soon, the helicopter landed not far from him.
“What brought you here?”
Du Gang glanced at the military rank on Chu Zixuan’s shoulder and laughed: “You lad have been promoted again, haven’t you? Next time, you’ll be a brigadier general!”
Chu Zixuan smiled, but his eyes were focused on the projected image in the air, saying, “Is this alien technology?”
“Almost forgot the important matters!”
Du Gang slapped his forehead, laughed, and said, “Let’s go, don’t dawdle. We’ll return and then talk about it on the way!”
After he finished speaking, he switched off the projection on his watch, picked it up, and got on the helicopter.
Nanyuan base.
A plane flew in from the Arctic Circle. Shortly after it landed, a military officer hurried towards the command center.
“Emergency, the aliens have attacked!”
The moment he entered the command center, the officer shouted loudly. Wang Dezhen and the others were stunned, quickly asking, “What happened?!!” The officer quickly presented the information received from the Arctic Circle.
“Commander, latest intel from the Arctic Circle: an alien spaceship has descended to Earth… heading straight towards Nanyuan…” “Du Gang is engaged in a fight with one of the aliens!” As he said this, he pulled out a pile of photos.
Everyone immediately gathered around to look carefully.
The first one showed a spaceship, about a hundred meters in size, appearing in the Earth’s outer atmosphere.
The following images, taken by satellites tracking the ship, showed it descending towards Earth.
However, when they saw the last picture, everyone was dumbfounded.
In that image, Luo An City had turned into a pile of debris, and at the heart of it, a kilometer-long fireball was burning.
“What is this?”
The officer quickly explained: “This is the aftermath of Du Gang’s fight with the alien visitor…”
“They say the power of the explosion was equivalent to 3-3 million tons of TNT!”
As everyone were shocked, the officer quickly continued: “Commander, the Arctic Circle requests that we initiate full combat readiness, all nuclear weapons should be on standby…”
It was at this moment that Wang Dezhen snapped back to reality. He quickly stood up and issued the order.
“All hands on deck, Nanyuan base is now under the highest level of combat readiness, all nuclear weapons on standby… All End -of-World aircrafts to take off. I, Wang Dezhen, the first commander of Nanyuan, authorize all End-of-World aircraft crew members to act independently. If necessary, you have the authority to launch nuclear weapons…”
In the event of lost communication, he could only give these End-of-World planes the authorization.
The so-called End-of-World aircraft are prepared for potential future nuclear wars.
Each aircraft applies the highest level of technology to ensure total invisibility, making them untraceable…
In times of peace, Hua Nation ensures that at least two nuclear-armed aircraft are flying in the sky every day. The flights were without specific destination and as one landed, another would take off… This continuous flying order was only lifted after the Apocalypse.
In addition, these nuclear-armed aircraft not only have long-range strike abilities, their nuclear arsenal is incredibly potent. Moreover, they each have their independent response teams ready to act on short notice.
If the ground gets struck by nuclear weapons, these aircraft will immediately retaliate, aiming for the enemy’s important nuclear facilities.
This is a safeguard put in place, in case the ground-based nuclear facilities are destroyed by enemies in one go. After all, no one knows how much information about us the enemy has.
Apart from this, in times of peace, there are also unstoppable nuclear submarines and unstoppable nuclear trains…
Just as mayhem was about to break out in the command center, Du Gang and Chu Zixuan, along with Lian Jue, walked in.
Instantly, everyone in the command center froze, like a paralysis spell had been cast, none of them moved.
“Du Gang… how… how are you here?”.
Wang Dezhen was the first to speak, asking in bewilderment.
Just moments ago, he received intel from the Arctic Circle saying that Du Gang had been in a battle with the aliens. He was told to go onto full alert, and then…
At this point, Zhuge Shui snapped back to reality, and laughed: “The plane from the Arctic Circle was slow. The fastest fighter jet there, I recall, would be the J-22, but there aren’t many of those. Majority are J-12s…”
“The highest speed of the J-12 is 1.5 Mach, which is over a thousand kilometers per hour. We are at approximately 24 degrees north latitude, about 43 degrees from the Arctic Circle. Each degree is about 111 kilometers apart. So, the distance between us and the Arctic Circle is roughly 4770 kilometers. According to the speed of the J-12, the journey would take at least three or even four hours!”
“Therefore, the intel we received dates back three or four hours!”
Everyone understood.
Having clarified the situation, Wang Dezhen quickly asked, “Du Gang, what about the aliens? How did it go?”
Du Gang smiled and said, “There were two groups of aliens, one with ill intentions, and the other with good intentions…”
“I drove off the hostile aliens, and the friendly ones gave me a watch!”
As he finished speaking, he took off the dark blue ‘children’s toy watch’ that was on his wrist.
Just then, another officer rushed in.
“Emergency, another alien spaceship has arrived…”
The moment this officer stepped through the door, disregarding everything else, he reported the latest news he had received from the Arctic Circle just like spilling beans.
“Hahaha! ”
Upon hearing this, everyone, instead of panicking, laughed out loud.
The new officer was confused, not understanding what was so funny.
Still laughing, Wang Dezhen looked at the officer who came in before and said, “Take him outside, explain to him what happened. On the way out, go to the airport and wait, I reckon there’s more news from the Arctic Circle…”
Immediately, the previous officer, still grinning ear to ear, led the new officer out. As they walked, he said, “Brother, come with me quickly, I have a very interesting story to tell you…”
After they left, Du Gang briefly recounted the course of events.
Then, he fetched a cup, poured some hot water into it, took a couple of sips to moisten his throat, and then continued speaking:
“Pang Ze has gone to wander around other parts of the solar system and has asked us on Earth to discuss everything thoroughly before contacting him again…”
“You all have a look and see what we should prioritize!”
At this moment, Wang Dezhen spoke first. It appeared as though he was conducting a teaching session as he turned towards Chu Zixuan and said: “Chu Zixuan, tell us, what should be our next step?”
Chu Zixuan adjusted his newly fitted glasses and calmly said, “Earth is not just Nanyuan Base. We can’t hide these technological devices from other bases.
Therefore, we should invite the leaders of the other bases here…”
“To discuss the future development of Earth!”
“And, it’s time to establish a new Earth Unity Alliance!”
