World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1462 - 341: Changes in the Star Alliance (Part 2)
Counting all the daily lottery draws together, there are at most only over 1000, and a large portion of them are Star Dust.
The really good items able to be added to the shop are actually only about 100 kinds.
This quantity isn’t really that much and is often limited in many ways.
Moreover, the cost of upgrades still needs to be counted in with these over 10,000 points.
To know, that the item at Purple Level wanting to upgrade to orange level needs at least 500 Upgrade Points, which translates into more than 5000 points.
This is a huge expense, not to be overlooked.
The remaining points, Zhang Xiaoman plans to keep them, to use them to exchange for Star Dust after returning to Water Blue Star.
Overall, the harvest of over 10,000 points still left Zhang Xiaoman quite satisfied, at least ensuring he has adequate supplies while alone in the Second Universe.
At the same time, through these shop points, Zhang Xiaoman is also gratified to know that the Star Alliance he established is now completely on track.
Even if he, as the Star Lord, has been absent for three years, the Star Alliance can still operate normal and stable.
In addition, through the gang member interface, Zhang Xiaoman can constantly keep an eye on the changes of Awakeners in the Star Alliance.
According to the rules he set before, the organization has its own Awakener promotion mechanism.
As long as members within the organization complete various designated tasks and assessments, they are qualified for an opportunity to participate in the Awakeners’ trial.
Successfully passing the trial will allow them to smoothly become a Dark Spirit and enter the Three Great Sanctuaries.
Those who undergo Awakening through the Enlightenment Array will have their names appear in Zhang Xiaoman’s list of gang members, allowing him to view them at any time.
Through the changes in these list entries, Zhang Xiaoman stays constantly informed about the organization’s situation.
Over three years, the Awakeners in the Star Alliance have increased by a total of 78 people, averaging about two per month.
What weighs heavily on his heart is that the number of Awakeners is not only increasing; during this process, some people’s names have permanently turned gray on the gang list.
Zhang Xiaoman knows that it means someone sacrificed in the battle against alien species.
Zhang Xiaoman remembers each of these individuals.
In three years, the Star Alliance and alien species have had over 100 battles of varying sizes.
In these over 100 battles, there have been injuries and fatalities.
The situation of the injured, Zhang Xiaoman reviewed through the gang members list, because it’s just a name statistics panel without the functionality of displaying real-time status.
The number of those sacrificed totals 21 people.
Among these 21 people, some were familiar names Zhang Xiaoman had seen before, while many were the newly joined Awakeners of the Three Great Sanctuaries.
Compared to the older generation of Awakeners, their experience and abilities aren’t rich enough.
Casualties in battles against alien species are inevitable.
Of course, there is a corresponding compensation within the organization for both the injured and deceased warriors.
Especially the families of those sacrificed, who will be allowed to reside permanently on Rebirth Island and receive the Star Alliance’s protection.
Yet, no amount of compensation can bring back lost lives, it’s an unbearable pain, and causes people to sigh in regret.
But on this crisis-filled path, humanity must continue to advance.
The war against alien species cannot be without bloodshed; since the moment all Awakeners join the organization and the Holy Temple, they have already mentally prepared for this.
All of this is the destiny of the Guardians.
The names of these fallen warriors are forever imprinted in the Heroic Spirit Monument within the Three Great Sanctuaries, and their stories will become the illumination on the path for future generations.
Zhang Xiaoman activated the points change notification function.
This ability was once turned off by him as it frequently flooded his mind.
But now, located in the Second Universe, there’s no way to contact the organization, so he can only learn about the situation on Water Blue Star through these points changes.
During these three years, in the first two years, there generally wasn’t any severe situation occurring on Water Blue Star.
Most of the points change notifications were about First and Second Rank monsters, and no Dimension Rift has appeared.
However, in the third month of the second year, which is now 7 months ago, a massive influx of points shocked Zhang Xiaoman far away in the Second Universe.
"Ding! Successfully absorbed Purgatory Demon King Essence, points increased by 2201!"
Along with this piece of information appearing, there is also a notification of a small Dimension Rift being absorbed. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Simultaneously, numerous notifications about points arrival for "Little Refining Demon" and "Refining Demon" continued entering his mind.
Without needing to see it with his own eyes, Zhang Xiaoman seems to see the scenes happening on Water Blue Star.
A new Dimension Rift opens in a certain place, maybe it’s at the bustling city center, perhaps unknown wilderness, or possibly some unreachable area underwater.
In short, a tremendous crisis slowly arrives.
Behind the Dimension Rift is a gathering place of the Demon Clan, where a large number of Refining Demons exist.
Zhang Xiaoman knows about this kind of demon.
The first time he encountered them was in Brother Hero’s underground parking garage, when several Little Refining Demons surrounded him, eventually he slew them using the Purple Cloud Divine Sword and Holy Water.
These demons, don’t underestimate their weak power; they belong to the Primordial Demon Clan, possessing terrifying growth characteristics, far beyond what those puppet-like Derivative Demon Clan can compare to.
However, during that crisis, the Dimension Rift didn’t just bring the lowest level Little Refining Demon, but also higher levels of Refining Demons, even appearing a Sixth Rank alien species – Purgatory Demon King.
Zhang Xiaoman doesn’t know what that battle looked like.
Perhaps the Awakeners of the Star Alliance discovered it in advance, made preparations early, laid down layers of traps, finally killed the Purgatory Demon King, and closed the Dimension Rift.
Or possibly, the Dimension Rift appeared very discreetly until those Refining Demons started causing chaos, drew the attention of the Star Alliance or other forces, then armed forces were dispatched for annihilation.
If it’s the latter, that battle must’ve been far fiercer.
A sixth rank alien species, possessing power equivalent to Naphaya, capable of destroying a planet.
Not being in the First Universe, dealing with such a creature with current capabilities on Water Blue Star is really difficult.
Luckily, it’s the Demon Clan, and the Star Alliance has Naphaya.
Naphaya now has been promoted to Upper-level Controller, equating to Sixth Rank for aliens.
This gives a turnaround possibility to the situation.
Nonetheless, the opponent is also a Sixth Rank Demon Clan, even if Naphaya can restrain them, casualties are unavoidable before Naphaya acts and during the duel of two Upper-level Controllers.
Fortunately, since this information could appear in Zhang Xiaoman’s mind, it indicates that everything has settled, and humanity has achieved victory.
But the shock and fear brought by this information still left Zhang Xiaoman unable to calm for a long time.
He will never forget the feelings of that day.
Tension, relief, worry, anxiety.
Encountering such a terrifying enemy on Water Blue Star, while he wasn’t on Water Blue Star, caused immense guilt.
Nevertheless, pulling himself from such emotions, Zhang Xiaoman is still proud of the Star Alliance and all humans on Water Blue Star.
Even without him as the Star Lord, now they have already become entities capable of independence.
The enormous number 2201 points doesn’t just represent points but also all the warriors who gave their lives for it.
In three years, among the 21 sacrifices in the Star Alliance, more than half fell in that battle.
Such a result left Zhang Xiaoman in silence for a long time as he faced the gang member list.
The human side may have celebrated the eventual victory, but the price paid was certainly painful.
