Chapter 1618 Li Yao starts again
Before Li Yao could answer, Cui Lingfeng thought of another possibility: "Saint Alliance people? I heard that the latest generation of humanoids in the Saint Alliance can already simulate all the emotions of normal humans, and even the spirit map test cannot be seen through, so you came on behalf of the Saint Alliance?"
Although the enemy's enemies may not be friends, Cui Lingfeng's attitude towards the Covenant Alliance is definitely slightly better than that of the real human empire.
Li Yao scratched his head: "I am neither a New Federation, nor an Imperial, nor a Saint Alliance. Although there is no direct evidence, Speaker, you will know that the reason why I appeared here is a coincidence. You randomly chose me to check the 'lie detector' and then bring me with you! No matter I am a Federation, an Empire or a Saint Alliance, it is impossible for me to be as powerful as a prophet. I guess your random decision, right?"
Cui Lingfeng was slightly stunned: "It makes sense. In order to keep it confidential, I did not think about which weapon refiner to check the 'lie detector'. Originally, I wanted to randomly select one from the list of professors in the Weapon Refining Department of Xinghai University at the last moment. After reading Professor Rod's analysis report, I suddenly thought about summoning Professor Rod, which was probably more confidential and safe. No one could know my real purpose, and it would be impossible to tamper with Professor Rod!"
"Even if you are a member of the Holy Alliance, you can't know this decision in advance, because even I didn't expect it!"
"What's more, the Holy Alliance members have no reason to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to the rear of the empire. This is simply a remote countryside on the border of Xinghai, and it is not the most critical battlefield!"
Lee Yoo nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Speaker Choi's words are reasonable."
"Not a Federation, not an Empire or a Holy Alliance, so who are you?"
Cui Lingfeng stared deeply at Li Yao, especially his hands that had returned to its original state, ordinary. "You are very skillful in dismantling and analyzing magic weapons. You can even imitate Professor Rod's style, and have such powerful combat power. Xuansu is a first-class expert on Firefly, but in front of you, he doesn't even have the courage to escape! You should be the "double-produced Yuanying" who has reached the pinnacle of both combat and refining weapons? I don't even know, there are masters like you on the edge of Xinghai? Who are you, whose interests you represent, and what purpose is infiltrating into Firefly? Since you have saved me, you must have a deal with me?"
Li Yao blinked and said, "You are thinking too much, Speaker Cui, I said it was just a coincidence. I really saved you because everyone is a cultivator. Of course, my friends and I want to negotiate a deal, but we are not looking for you."
"..." Cui Lingfeng was stunned.
Li Yao coughed dryly and said, "Of course there is no need to hide our identity. You will know it soon, but you may not believe it when you say it."
Cui Lingfeng: "Why might you talk about it first?"
Li Yao hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, we are Honglian people, cultivators from the 'Honglian Realm'."
Cui Lingfeng frowned deeply: "Red Lotus Realm?"
"Yes, that's a trivial little world."
Li Yao said, "Because our stars are extremely unstable, and there are super-large solar winds burst from time to time, and the living environment is extremely harsh. Even on the only planet that can barely live, our mother star, "Red Lotus Star", often suffers from natural disasters like the sea of red lotus. Therefore, even in the era of the Star Sea Empire ten thousand years ago, the Red Lotus Realm was not developed on a large scale. Only a very small number of residents rely on planting some cash crops that can grow in high-heat environments and raising fire-type spirit beasts for a living."
"Fortunately, the battle of the Doomsday Change ten thousand years ago, the trembling battle between the Emperor and the Doomsday War Crazy did not affect our Red Lotus Realm much."
"In the next ten thousand years, the Xinghai Empire was completely collapsed. The Xinghai Republic struggled to rebuild and explore, but did not have time to explore our small world. In fact, wasn't the purpose of your Firefly initially built to find us small boundaries that are free from the center of the Star Sea?"
"We have developed alone in an extremely harsh environment for 10,000 years. The angry flames of stars have destroyed our civilization again and again, keeping our civilization to a very low level of barely survival. People can only use the simplest magic weapons and their flesh and blood to fight. Basically, uh, there is not much difference from the legendary ancient cultivation era."
"We spent ten thousand years in a daze. Although we had heard of the distant legend of the Star Sea Empire and had hoped that the advanced human civilization in the center of the Star Sea would bring us new hope, the conqueror of the real human empire in the end."
"The real human empire annexed the Red Lotus Realm, and the immortal cultivators destroyed our homes and ravaged our compatriots! The power of the empire is not something we cultivators who are still in the Middle Ages can resist. Countless Red Lotus monks fell in the war against the empire. Most of the survivors were transformed into immortal cultivators, joined the ranks of the imperial army, and established a new brutal rule!"
"Only a very small number of people, including me, we were lucky enough to grab a starship from a real human empire, captured many warship soldiers on it, and learned the skills of controlling the starship."
"We escaped from the Red Lotus Realm while the Imperial Army is unprepared, and perhaps we left our home forever. I will never forget that day. It happened four hundred and forty-three years ago."
Li Yao's eyes gradually turned red, but there were no tears in his sockets, as if his tears had long been evaporated by the angry red lotus.
These words are almost flawless.
Because the Red Lotus Realm is real, the moody stars and natural disasters in the Red Lotus Realm have led to the slow development of civilization in the Red Lotus Realm, and many fields are in the Middle Ages, which is also true, including the conquest war between the real human empire and the Red Lotus Realm 450 years ago. All of these are true.
The Starry Federation captured some imperial troops from the claw fleet of Hei Yelan ten years ago. Just find a prisoner to ask for it and confirm the existence of the Red Lotus Realm.
Of course, in the Red Lotus Realm four or five hundred years ago, was there a small group of cultivators who snatched the Imperial Army’s starship and fled their homes? This is simply impossible to be verified.
Cui Lingfeng fell into deep thought and said without comment: "What about?"
"We are almost a "Firefly" that has shrunk many times, hiding in the east and hiding in the starry sea and escaping the pursuit of the Imperial Army."
Li Yao said, "But we are really too weak, and our experience in controlling the starship is extremely lacking, and we cannot compare with the Firefly. Within a few years, the escaped cultivators fell one by one, leaving only a dozen people."
"After discussing more than a dozen of us, we all thought that this could not continue. The Imperial Army's pursuit was second. Our starship was too insignificant, just a piece of dust in the starry sea. It was difficult for the Imperial Army to catch us. The biggest problem is that the more than a dozen people who survived were not low in cultivation, and the resources consumed every day were astronomical. There were not many materials on the ship, and they could not withstand such consumption as us."
"After this, everyone will either kill each other and stage a tragedy of cannibalism, or surrender to the empire in helplessness."
"We neither want to kill each other nor surrender to the empire, so we have to take a gamble, set the destination of the starship to the border of the star sea, and switch to the automatic cruise mode, and then everyone enters the hibernation cabin and try their luck."
"In this way, we were all in hibernation and allowed the starship to drift all the way for more than 400 years. Until the end, the starship scanned the nearby area and heard extremely strong spiritual fluctuations. Later we realized that it was the ripples of space stirred when the Tianyuan Realm and the Blood Demon Realm merged. We were awakened by the starship's main control crystal brain and secretly snorted here, the Dragon and Snake Star Domain."
"We have just arrived, and we don't know where this is or whether it is another territory of the empire, so we decided to disguise ourselves, hide our names, and observe them carefully in the Dragon and Snake Star Domain."
"When we discover that there is a powerful cultivator country, Starry Federation, and we are ready to fight the real human empire, we are all ecstatic and naturally have the idea of joining forces with Starry Federation, and even, uh, even joining the Federation to deal with the empire together, hoping to fight back to the Red Lotus Realm one day."
"However, we don't want to go directly to the federal government because... because..."
Cui Lingfeng said: "Because you have concerns, on the one hand, you are worried that the Federations do not believe you, and they will suspect that you are imperial spies and imprison you and interrogate you. Perhaps when you escape, you still carry a lot of secret treasures and magical powers from the Red Lotus Realm, and you must not tell outsiders; on the other hand, you are worried that you will be alone, and will be excluded and driven by the Federations, and even treated as cannon fodder; on the other hand, you are worried that the Starry Federation is an ideal, real country of cultivators, and whether it has the strength to resist the empire, right?"
Li Yao pretended to be stunned: "How do you know?"
Cui Lingfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Because what you are worried about is exactly what I am worried about. Okay, please continue to talk."
Li Yao licked his chapped lips and said, "You are right. We are the last hope of the Red Lotus Realm. When we escaped from our hometown, of course we brought a lot of treasures of the Red Lotus civilization. We don't want these things to fall into the hands of others, whether they are empire or the Federation."
"We must be prepared for others. At least, we don't want to lose all our secrets before we figure out whether the Starry Glory Federation is a truly trustworthy country of cultivator."
