After eliminating the Cloud Continent natives who had chased him into the vortex space to kill him, Chen Daolin returned to the Gaia Ship. Sitting in the pilot's seat, he examined the silver-white laser gun in his hand, its cold mechanical design making his gaze grow increasingly icy.
Biqi had already examined it. This laser gun was almost exactly identical to the one he had used before. Both were high-tech weapons of the Machine Race, restricted items forbidden in the human cosmic nations outside! Ordinary people had no chance of obtaining them!
"Was it really a coincidence, or was someone deliberately targeting me?" Chen Daolin pondered inwardly.
The human race was divided into various factions as well. It was common for competing powers to suppress one another and eliminate the other side's geniuses. Moreover, spies from hostile races were hidden within humanity, always ready to assassinate and eliminate human geniuses in order to weaken mankind's strength.
The struggle between cosmic races and factions was merciless and brutal.
"I still need to continue my mission. The Giant Axe Dojo's mission is one thing, but the Inheritance Hall wants me to enter Myriad Phenomena Palace and complete the third stage of the trial."
"And to enter Myriad Phenomena Palace, I must obtain 3,600 fragments. I've only obtained two so far. Even at my current pace, it'll take more than half a year to collect them all."
While collecting the fragments, Chen Daolin might enter spaces he had already visited, but compared to a full hundred thousand spaces, the odds of that were still relatively low.
Still, no matter what, some time would be wasted.
Furthermore, there was no telling how many Cloud Continent natives outside were preparing to deal with him. Though Chen Daolin was confident, he still had to remain cautious.
