World-saving Plan: The Only Savior

Although Zhang Xiaoman had already guessed the other’s answer, he still asked him seriously.

Li Xiang’s eyes were burning, and faced with Zhang Xiaoman’s question, it could be said that he already had an answer in his heart.

However, seeing the other’s serious demeanor at this moment, he did not answer immediately but bowed his head to think carefully for a moment before nodding vigorously and said:

"Star Lord, please give your orders. I am willing to follow you on this journey, even if there are numerous dangers ahead, I will never retreat. I am already prepared for the possibility of meeting my end in the vast space!"

Seeing him suddenly adopting a determined-to-die attitude, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

"Haha, you don’t need to be so tense. Although this action is full of unknowns, it’s not as dangerous as you imagine. After all, with me here, I will try my best to protect all of you."

Zhang Xiaoman spoke with a calm tone. In the past, one might have thought he was boasting, but now with his current strength, he absolutely has the confidence to say this.

Li Xiang was excited upon hearing this, immediately taking the orders and running off to make preparations.

This mission was temporarily set for one month later. The spaceship everyone would board was no longer the outdated model within the Star Alliance but a truly advanced space shuttle brought back by Zhang Xiaoman from the Second Universe.

Zhang Xiaoman prepared a destroyer named Hail for them, a spaceship he purchased from Skull Star in the Second Universe, equipped with the most advanced Dark Spirit Power Engine. The control mode was adjustable, allowing it to be set according to the user’s familiar methods.

This unique setting is a kind of super black technology currently unattainable on Water Blue Star. With adjustments to the operating mode, even a person who has never been on a spaceship can have it adjusted to their most familiar way, such as a car’s cockpit mode, truly making it possible to fly the ship by stepping on the gas pedal.

Of course, if one chooses to adjust to this mode, many of the spaceship’s specific functions will be difficult to use. At least during use, it will be quite awkward, causing various delays and reducing the operator’s immediate response speed and operational fluency.

Fortunately, Li Xiang is not just a car driver. As the captain and instructor at Aviation College, he already has excellent Space Navigation knowledge, capable of independently operating the Dawn ship.

A destroyer over 700 meters long isn’t something that can be operated by just one or two people. To truly exploit all of its functions, the crew needs to number at least 200 or more.

Zhang Xiaoman did not expect to fully power the Hail, after all, this action, for him, it’s just a means of transport, and once the destination is found, it doesn’t matter whether it’s there or not.

As for combat output, no spaceship could be more potent than his own human Titan Divine Ship.

Currently, Zhang Xiaoman is a Middle Control Level Peak powerhouse, such strength is considerably prestigious within the Dark Star Alliance.

If the spaceship system were to be compared with his strength, it would take a top-level Titan Divine Ship to match him.

He transmitted a set of data to the Aviation College, which comprised driving operation techniques for the Hail and some unique aviation knowledge from the Dark Star Alliance.

This knowledge exceeds many of the current aviation domains established on Water Blue Star, which people definitely wouldn’t use day-to-day. Since their current exposure level doesn’t benefit from learning this early, Zhang Xiaoman hasn’t included it in the curriculum.

When Li Xiang and his team saw this learning material, they couldn’t resist brightening up, each immersing themselves in the study room, eager to turn one day into ten.

Li Xiang selected 30 crew members for this expedition fleet. These crew members are esteemed scholars from Aviation College. Though few, they are enough to meet the minimum requirements for operating the Hail.

These people have been delving into the aviation domain for many years. Now hearing that they finally have the chance to pilot the spaceship to explore deep space, they are exceedingly excited. The selection of 30 places was a fiercely contested event, with no fear of death—everyone feared the lack of opportunity to participate in this historic exploration.

In this lively learning atmosphere, a month quickly passed, and the team of 30 selected by Li Xiang had essentially completed their learning tasks. They could now use their newly learned knowledge to initiate the spaceship’s foolproof operating mode for piloting.

Zhang Xiaoman casually picked a few questions to test them. Although everyone wasn’t fluent in their answers, they could stutteringly respond, passing the test barely.

Everyone was quite surprised, feeling they had a new understanding of this Star Lord.

Originally seeing the other’s formidable strength, they thought he was an expert from the Cultivation World. But after going through this exam, these astronauts at the Aviation College with prominent names were dumbfounded by each unfamiliar yet seemingly mighty term that popped out of this expert’s mouth.

Various formulas and spaceship control skills made them feel as though their years of Space Navigation study were in vain, as if completely crushed.

Only now did they understand that a real expert is not just the recognized combat power pinnacle of humanity but also an unreachable entity in the technical domain of aeronautics.

This feeling was akin to a sudden change in style, where a Cultivation World expert wouldn’t logically touch scientific technology, but reality left everyone’s jaws dropping.

They wouldn’t know that true Dark Spirits aren’t as one-dimensional as people imagine them to be, doing nothing but cultivation.

Real Dark Spirits possess immense Strength and formidable knowledge reserves that ordinary people can’t possibly compete with. Within the Dark Star Alliance, many top scholars in Dark Spirit Technology are also high-level Dark Spirits themselves.

After all, the physical qualities of Dark Spirits directly dictate their intelligence and learning Aptitude cannot be low, augmented by various Dark Spirit Techniques, learning various knowledge becomes significantly faster than for ordinary people.

To Zhang Xiaoman, those incredibly profound issues were already trivial. In his many years in the Dark Star Alliance, he hadn’t solely devoted himself to cultivation; instead, he leveraged his ability to manipulate Quicksand to enter the space-time rift, to learn and comprehend everything in that world.

Having sorted out matters with the Hail spaceship, it was time for the official launch.

Ziwei, the restless woman, having just perfected the Starfall Ship-Slicing Saber, insisted on tagging along. If faced with troublesome enemies, she could test the power of this Perfect-Level Combat Skill in real combat.

Ziwei has now also learned the basic Teleportation Technique, using a teleportation array formed by ten Star Alliance Markers for long-distance teleportation. So Zhang Xiaoman felt there was no issue with bringing her aboard, as even if faced with uncontrollable danger, everyone could retreat without hurry.

Regarding organizational security and protection, now everyone has been equipped with Dark Star Alliance’s Quantum Communication Device. As long as everyone remains within the same universe and communication isn’t interrupted by corresponding interference methods, Zhang Xiaoman can return anytime if any issues arise, without worrying about the risk of their home base being compromised.
