Chapter 43: Angelic Beings
“The mining stocks, which had been sluggish for hundreds of years, have all soared!”
“The stock price of the mining giant, Stellar Mining Group, has doubled, surpassing one trillion in market value, making it another giant in the galaxy worth over a trillion!”
“What is the allure of the spirit stone? It has plunged all of humanity into a frenzy of purchasing!”
“The last time there was such a buying frenzy was a hundred years ago when the humanity fleet was wiped out, and everyone felt a sense of danger. Back then, people rushed to buy various living supplies, but this time it is the once worthless spirit stones!”
“In just one day, the price of the originally worthless spirit stones has risen to twelve thousand each!”
“The emergence of spirit stones will accelerate the average strength of humanity, but it also poses a huge negative impact on the stability of human society!”
“The federal government is in discussions with major mining giants, hoping the price of spirit stones will stabilize and drop!”
Recently, amid the situation where Yi Chen created a new skill that might be worthless, major media outlets largely focused their attention on transporting a new batch of heavy criminals to the exile planet.
Only a small portion of attention was given to Yi Chen’s new skill.
However, as soon as the spirit stone appeared, all media’s focus quickly shifted to the spirit stones that were shaking human society in such a short time.
But this fervor came quickly and intensely, and it faded just as fast.
With the news of the federal government discussing with major mining giants spreading, the wildly surging prices of spirit stones immediately stabilized.
In less than a day, the major mining giants announced a large-scale mining of spirit stone mines, with the sales price set to only one thousand each.
The buying frenzy sparked by the spirit stones vanished without a trace.
Everyone already had at least one spirit stone in hand.
And one spirit stone could last a long time.
But the true root of the situation lies in the countless resource planets controlled by the human federation, where there are innumerable spirit stone deposits.
In the future, if humanity’s training limit has not yet been reached, as levels increase, the demand for spirit stones will intensify, possibly leading to a shortage of spirit stones.
However, at the current stage, the amount of spirit stones consumed in training compared to the reserves of spirit stone mines is negligible.
The price of spirit stones may slowly rise in the future, but in the short term, there will definitely not be any sudden spikes.
Once the public’s dissatisfaction stabilized, the excitement also diminished dramatically.
The focus of everyone’s attention shifted back to the transportation of a new batch of heavy criminals to the exile planet.
As the day approached, the interest in this matter only grew stronger.
…
In the galaxy, on a life planet.
At a facility called Treasure Alliance Machinery Plant.
“Sir, you were looking for me!”
The plant director, Jin Zhenghe, entered a large hidden chamber and knelt on the ground.
The hidden chamber was spacious, built deep underground.
All the building materials were made from a special alloy that can weaken the scanner detection.
Around the alloy walls, layers of patterns filled with strange energy were drawn using special materials.
Within these patterns, energy fluctuations shimmered.
Compared to the alloy walls, they could better block the scanner’s detection.
In the hidden chamber, a being with a pair of silver wings on its back, standing nearly two meters tall even while sitting, resembled humanity closely and was studying various information displayed on a virtual screen.
It seemed he did not notice Jin Zhenghe’s arrival and did not hear his voice; his shining eyes remained fixated on the virtual screen.
Jin Zhenghe, kneeling on the ground, dared not even breathe heavily, let alone harbor any resentment.
Because the one seated before him was a messenger of the Angelic Beings, the one who had nurtured and supported his rise.
“Assign me an identity; I want to enter the exile planet!”
Finally, the messenger of the Angelic Beings spoke.
“Is the messenger going to the exile planet personally? All heavy criminals being transported to the exile planet must have their powers abolished, including genetic warriors. The loss for the messenger would be too great.”
Jin Zhenghe was dumbfounded, unable to believe his ears.
“As long as we can strangle this Yi Chen in the cradle, losing power is worth it! His threat to our Angelic Beings is growing larger all the time.”
The gaze of the Angelic Beings messenger was filled with deep wariness and gravity.
“Even if he is the greatest genius in human history, humanity is ultimately an inferior race; how could he alone threaten the Angelic Divine Race?”
Jin Zhenghe could not help but retort.
His confidence in the Angelic Beings was even stronger than that of the nearby messenger, filled with pride.
The messenger’s words even sparked a flicker of anger in his heart, as if his faith had been tarnished.
“Do as I say!”
The Angelic Beings messenger did not elaborate.
The Angelic Beings were one of the first races to encounter humanity.
Thousands of years ago, shortly after humanity emerged from the primitive era, the Angelic Beings discovered the Blue Star and the existence of humanity.
At that time, humanity did not attract any attention from the Angelic Beings.
Because humanity was simply too weak.
The only admirable trait was their ability to create and their strong inheritance capability, as each generation slowly improved.
Due to these two characteristics, the Angelic Beings sent a group of angels to the Blue Star, attempting to rule humanity.
They wanted to see if humanity could develop to become a vassal race of the Angelic Beings, serving as cannon fodder or pawns during conflicts between the Angelic Beings and other races.
This was merely a casual act.
The higher-ups of the Angelic Beings did not pay much attention.
As for considering humanity a threat, that thought never even crossed their minds.
However, unexpectedly, after emerging from the primitive era, humanity’s development speed was astonishing.
In a thousand years, to the Angelic Beings, it was nothing.
Just a blink of an eye.
But the short-lived humanity, in just two to three thousand years, broke out of the Blue Star and entered the interstellar era,
quickly conquering all life planets in the galaxy, joining the ranks of Various Races.
By the time the Angelic Beings reacted, humanity’s strength had already surpassed the Angelic Beings.
Fortunately, humanity’s technology eventually reached its limit and could no longer advance as rapidly as before.
While competing with Various Races, it also suffered a painful defeat when their ace fleet was completely wiped out.
It was precisely this great defeat a hundred years ago that led humanity to retreat within the galaxy, changing from offense to defense.
The Angelic Beings thought this was a great opportunity to swallow up humanity, but they did not expect even humanity, which had completely lost its ace fleet, was still not something the Angelic Beings could contend with.
The invasion by the Angelic Beings was not only defeated by humanity’s Nine-Star General Yi Tenglóng, but Yi Tenglóng also led his forces to the life planets occupied by the Angelic Beings, directly wiping out an entire planet and billions of Angelic Beings.
If not for the federal government worrying that humanity might invade life planets beyond the galaxy again, leading to a reorganization of alliances by the surrounding races, which forced Yi Tenglóng to withdraw his troops through legislation, the Angelic Beings would have suffered even greater losses.
Since then, the Angelic Beings’ attitude towards humanity became one of hostility without respite.
Friction and war between the two sides continued yearly.
What shocked the Angelic Beings was that decades later, the descendants of Yi Tenglóng suddenly emerged.
Through a self-created Cultivation Method, they brought a new opportunity for development to all humanity.
Even though the Angelic Beings messenger, acting as an undercover agent in humanity, established a research institute that discovered humanity’s talent limit was not high.
Even the most powerful genius in human history, Yi Chen, would soon reach his talent limit and could not create higher-level skills.
However, the spirit stone incident generated a strong sense of crisis for the Angelic Beings messenger.
Because he knew that in the universe, not only were there spirit stones that could accelerate training speed, but also abundant materials that could enhance training talent.
Unable to eat or sleep peacefully, he ultimately decided to act personally, seeking a way to quietly eliminate Yi Chen, the greatest genius of humanity, to remove future threats.
