I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 2041 - 1372: Overlooked Matters

"I’m also very curious about what exactly made you all not return together," Du Gang said from the side. If there wasn’t a very special reason on Qingtian Star, why would they choose to ’stay behind’?

Moreover, the Qingtian natives have all been ’packed up’ and brought back. Although the number is slightly large, it’s not difficult for the Tianhe Army to handle.

Many planets in the New World support life, even if they are overgrown wilderness planets; it’s merely that they lack a specific lifeform, not that organisms can’t survive on them.

It’s not difficult to arrange for tens of billions of people even without the overgrown wilderness planets.

"We discovered traces of Brother Yichen."

"Cough, cough, cough," Du Gang immediately started coughing. He glanced around; the environment here seemed to have solidified, not because he made a move, but because Denas had already completed the lockdown when Qi Xiangyun spoke.

This place is very safe, but if the information is too important, he can’t guarantee it’s truly safe.

"Are you, are you sure?" Du Gang was somewhat tongue-tied. If this is true, then the Tianhe Army’s mobilization was extremely worth it.

"Of course, I’m sure."

Denas asked from the side, "Do the War Hundred Clans know about this?"

"They don’t."

Upon hearing this, Denas breathed a slight sigh of relief. Zheng Yichen’s trace is significant, but more dangerous is if the War Hundred Clans find out. If they do, the offense and defense could reverse.

Currently, they are suppressing the War Hundred Clans, while the War Hundred Clans are trying to find a way to survive on Qingtian Star to resist their suppression.

If the Tianhe Pioneers’ intelligence on Qingtian Star is leaked, then the Tianhe Army’s needs will change.

"Is he alright?" Du Gang asked with a hint of excitement.

Qi Xiangyun shook her head, "We don’t know. Brother Yichen is in an environment filled with thunderstorms. We can confirm he’s there, but we can only gather information about his state from others."

"Oh~ does that mean someone has seen him? Who?" Denas was much calmer. Since the person is on Qingtian Star, they can’t escape, and as such, even more, things should be kept confidential.

The arrangements for people initially intended for Qingtian Star cannot be done so casually now.

"Xiyun."

Denas nodded, "I understand. We’ll handle the follow-up matters..."

After speaking, Denas looked in a particular direction. Ling had arrived here, coming after the environment had been locked down, probably because of the unusualness found here.

Denas had no intention of letting Ling leave, as Ling was truly one of them.

"Ling?" Upon seeing the female holding the Twilight Lantern, Qi Xiangyun felt slightly nostalgic, not because she hadn’t seen Ling for a long time, but because Ling’s appearance was exactly like Lilith’s.

Though there were still some differences in the details of her attire, Ling’s appearance hadn’t changed.

Occasionally, when thinking of Zheng Yichen, seeing Ling might cause a momentary illusion, as if Zheng Yichen and his AI Lilith had returned.

"It’s me. Since you all could return smoothly, there’s also a way back. I want to go to Qingtian Star," Ling stated her purpose directly.

Qi Xiangyun wasn’t surprised; she was more concerned about another matter.

"Have you chosen to downgrade?"

She sensed it when Ling appeared.

"It’s just to adapt to the New World. I might upgrade again in the future if there’s an opportunity. For now, this is fine."

"...Alright, we’ll be going back soon, and you can come with us."

Qi Xiangyun didn’t refuse Ling’s proposal. Lin Yaoyao had previously tried to use the power of Qingtian Star to resist the Star Destroyer’s attack, but she ultimately wasn’t a being like the Planet’s Will, and the backlash from doing so was severe.

Even now, Lin Yaoyao still looked a bit wilted.

Now that they have the genuine Planet’s Will with them, things will be much more manageable.

"We can discuss going back later, but before that, you need to report all the intelligence you can. It’s important."

Denas spoke, indicating that casual conversation time was over. He gave a detailed status of the Tianhe Army.

The lockdown was lifted, and after the research department confirmed the significance of the results Qi Xiangyun and others brought back, they immediately delivered the assessment report.

The future of Tianhe is undoubtedly delightful, but the integrated force of the Tianhe Army is also a crucial foundation for Tianhe’s security. It can be said that the Tianhe War has reached its peak, and this counterattack resulted in the most severe losses.

As for the losses when Tianhe initially thawed, although many died, most were ordinary people. The situation improved once the Tianhe people responded.

In pursuing the enemy, during the Tianhe Army’s counterattack, their life preservation was exceptional. The advantage of fighting on home ground ensured that most fallen soldiers wouldn’t truly die.

But it’s different here.

So if the pursuing Tianhe Army is worn out, Tianhe will only have a meager force left for defense, even if the Tianhe people have a future, they need to grow into it first.

This period of time is no less than a hundred years.

After exchanging intelligence, Lin Yaoyao yawned and arrived at another place, releasing the Qingtian natives from the Secret Heavenly Realm. This place was managed by a super artificial intelligence; even if there were ten billion people, let alone this many, it could handle it.

Xiyun was inside.

He seemed somewhat perplexed by the new environment, and even more curious about the Tianhe people here... Well, all of the Qingtian Joint Army were curious about the Tianhe people.

Previously, they had only seen Liu Hongzhao and others, not having encountered other Tianhe people.

Now it’s different; there were Tianhe people everywhere in this place. Upon closer inspection, they realized Tianhe people didn’t seem to have any substantial differences from them.

They had noses and eyes, and at most, the Tianhe people included members of different races.

For instance, those captivating beings with animal ears.

Those count as an alien race, right? But the Tianhe people didn’t pay attention to such matters and were quite accustomed to coexisting with those alien races.

"There really seems to be no difference, huh?" someone whispered.

"What’s the difference, look at that girl with cat ears, how beautiful she is..."

"...You’re acting strange." The comrade of the Qingtian Joint Army member said with a peculiar tone, as they conversed and followed the drone’s guidance to the appropriate place.

Their experience in brutal wars had made them highly disciplined, and thus, war accelerated their growth tremendously.

Arriving at the designated place, someone couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, this residential area was enormous.

Moreover, it wasn’t located on any planet; according to the drone’s explanation, this place was a logistical base at the rear of the Tianhe Army.

They didn’t know the full extent of this logistical base, but since it could temporarily accommodate Qingtian natives without making them feel cramped, its scale was imaginable.

"Mr. Xiyun, please come with me." A drone appeared next to Xiyun.

"Boss Xiyun... Should we go together?" someone said somewhat uneasily to Xiyun.

Before Xiyun could speak, the arriving drone replied, "You can all go together."

"So accommodating?" Somewhat surprised, some expressed.

A face appeared on the screen of the drone: "You are not prisoners, but one of us."

"Let’s go." Xiyun didn’t delay, the Tianhe people’s approach was already very composed.

They initially wanted to have Xiyun confirm some information but only spoke up after settling these Tianhe people.

Xiyun could guess what they wanted to confirm.

He and his tribe came to a reception room, where Qi Xiangyun and Lin Yaoyao were present. As for the others, they didn’t recognize them, and those following Xiyun seemed a bit nervous.

"Would you mind waiting outside for a moment?" Denas said to Xiyun’s tribesmen.

After receiving Xiyun’s signal, they left the reception room and waited outside.

Soon, a drone delivered some snacks and the like, which Xiyun’s tribesmen didn’t hesitate to accept, given that the Tianhe Army apparently wasn’t short of resources, they didn’t see the need to be polite either.

Inside the reception room, Xiyun’s expression became a bit subtle as he looked at the Tianhe Lantern in Ling’s hand.

"If you have questions, feel free to ask." Ling examined Xiyun, this native of Qingtian Star possessing a unique constitution, physiologically unaffected by the new world’s environment.

But according to the intelligence Qi Xiangyun and others had obtained, his constitution was attributed to Zheng Yichen, who was also from the Old Era.

His strength, like that of the Tianhe people, was expected to be affected by the new world environment, and those natives influenced by him wouldn’t fare well either.

Lin Yaoyao had already tested some power through Qingtian natives, and the results were consistent with this.

However, Xiyun showed no similar situation. On the contrary, many important research results were also obtained from Xiyun.

Thus, it seemed that Zheng Yichen’s power could ignore the influence of the new world environment.

"Can I have a look at that lantern?" Xiyun’s gaze became somewhat dazed.

"Wait a moment, I’ll have someone bring a new one." Denas immediately said, for the Twilight Lantern, there were plenty here.

Soon, a drone delivered a new Twilight Lantern. Receiving this Twilight Lantern, Xiyun’s daze intensified, and then his eyes brightened.

"That’s right, I... I seem to have overlooked something very important!" Under the influence of the twilight glow emitted by the Twilight Lantern, Xiyun realized he had overlooked something crucial!

"I once met a very terrifying woman." At that moment, Xiyun’s voice paused, giving rise to an extremely conflicted feeling.

Regarding the matters of the predecessor in Thunderstorm Land, he hadn’t forgotten, yet he couldn’t help but overlook certain thoughts, seemingly influenced by something.

The twilight glow enabled him to shake off this influence, though not entirely, putting Xiyun in an inexplicable state of anxiety.
