Chapter 305: Chapter 267: Spaceship Takeoff

The one leading the Sovereign Country’s team this time was a Venerable Powerhouse named Kan Zhiyong.

He also brought seven or eight Saint-level Overlords with him.

As soon as they arrived, the spaceship’s main door automatically closed, which made Kan Zhiyong’s expression darken.

At that moment, at the spaceship’s entrance, besides the Overlord from the Great Desert Kingdom who had been guarding it all along, there were also two Overlords from the Mu Country.

However, the Mu Country was closer than the Ancient An Country and the Peninsula Country, so its two Overlords had arrived earlier.

However, both had been stopped by the Great Desert Kingdom’s Overlord and were prevented from entering the spaceship.

Kan Zhiyong looked at the Great Desert Kingdom’s Overlord guarding the entrance and asked, "Who went inside?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The people from his Sovereign Country had just arrived, and the door immediately closed. ’How could it be such a coincidence?’

Kan Zhiyong suspected that someone was controlling it from the inside.

The Overlord from the Great Desert Kingdom didn’t dare to hide anything and listed everyone who had entered the spaceship.

Kan Zhiyong’s expression was grim. He walked to the spaceship’s entrance and inspected it from top to bottom. The Overlords from the Sovereign Country he had brought with him also gathered around to examine it.

After a round of probing, they were, of course, unable to open the door.

So they resorted to the simplest, most brutish method—smashing it!

But even with a Venerable Powerhouse taking action, the spaceship’s main door remained impregnable, without so much as a single scratch being left on it.

...

The moment Su Ze detected the arrival of the people from the Sovereign Country, he immediately used what little energy the spaceship had left to close the main door and lock it from the inside.

Those outside couldn’t get in, and those inside couldn’t get out.

It was a desperate move. ’Otherwise, if I let a Venerable Powerhouse inside, what chance would I have?’

’Closing the door was the first priority.’

After connecting to the spaceship’s control hub, various data about the ship appeared in Su Ze’s mind. It showed that the ship’s energy reserves were less than 1%!

Insufficient energy. Unable to take off!

Since it couldn’t fly, Su Ze obviously couldn’t pilot the spaceship to the Miracle Oasis.

"Oasis Mother Tree, what do I have to do to get the spaceship to you?" Su Ze hurriedly asked for help.

"There are two methods," the Oasis Mother Tree said. "First, you can shrink the spaceship. You should have already seen this option. This will allow you to put the ship in your pocket. The second method is to recharge the spaceship. As long as its energy level is above 3%, it can take off."

"How do I charge it from inside the ship?" Su Ze asked.

Without a second thought, he dismissed the first method. It was simpler, requiring only a single thought to shrink the spaceship.

However, he didn’t believe the powerhouses from the Sovereign Country, who were waiting like hungry tigers outside, would let him simply walk away with the shrunken vessel.

"You just need to have the spaceship open the passage to the energy sector," the Oasis Mother Tree advised. "It’s all in the ship’s operation manual, which you can read. But before that, I suggest you first register your spiritual imprint on the pilot list. That way, even after you leave the control room, you can still maintain some basic control over the ship."

This was Su Ze’s first time dealing with such a strange alien spaceship, and he felt a bit overwhelmed.

Following the Oasis Mother Tree’s guidance, he successfully activated "pilot" permissions for himself. Now, as long as he remained inside the ship after leaving the control room, he could use his Spiritual Power to communicate with and control it at any time.

While activating his permissions, Su Ze noticed that the highest level of authority was "Captain’s Authority," which could only be registered to one person, unlike the pilot permissions that allowed for multiple users.

However, the Captain’s Authority slot was already taken. Needless to say, it must belong to the spaceship’s mysterious original owner—who was also the master of the Oasis Mother Tree.

As for the energy room, it was located directly above the fork in the road where they had entered. He could command the ship to construct a direct path to it using plant vines.

But before going to recharge the ship, Su Ze had one more thing to do...

He checked on the other people inside the spaceship.

Gu Chengguang, Li Fayi, and Heto were together, still under the Bean Pod Tree, attempting to pick one of its pods.

Each pod was a storage artifact with an immense amount of space, far more precious than the common storage items they were used to. Not to mention, they might even contain treasures left behind by the ship’s owner.

Therefore, the three of them were desperately attacking the Bean Pod Tree. However, the tree was not only tough, but also proficient with spatial abilities, redirecting all of their attacks into some unknown space.

Gradually, the trio began to think about giving up.

But just as they were about to turn and leave, vines shot up from the ground, weaving themselves into a wall that trapped them inside.

Greatly alarmed, the three of them immediately attacked the new vine wall, trying to break through it. However, a hard, nut-like shell rapidly grew over the wall’s surface, forming a tough shield that withstood all of their attacks.

Meanwhile, Jasim and his companion, who had found nothing while exploring the rest area, were heading back the way they came when their path was also blocked by a suddenly appearing wall.

This was, of course, Su Ze’s doing.

He hadn’t actually intended to lock up Gu Chengguang and Li Fayi, but since the two of them were with Heto, he had no choice but to trap them all together.

Otherwise, if he let them roam freely, they would discover that the main door was locked and would likely hurry back to the location of the Demon Brain Flower—and the control room was currently wide open.

Besides, with them around, it would be inconvenient for Su Ze to act.

After trapping everyone, Su Ze climbed out of the control room and had Mr. Ya lead him back to the fork in the path.

He communicated with the ship using his mind, and with a single thought, a hidden door opened in the wall, revealing a small, spiraling path leading upward.

Su Ze stepped onto it. The path was woven from tree vines on all four sides. After just a few steps, he reached the end and arrived at the energy room.
