The Princess of Red Flame Planet, Zhu Jingxi

Looking down from the sky, Chen Lie saw a middle-aged man in his early forties looking at him from a low hillside in the Kunlun Mountain Range.

He piloted the Exotic Beast to fly to the opposite side of the middle-aged man.

The moment he approached the middle-aged man, Chen Lie sensed the surging Innate Primordial Qi within the man's body.

This person is a Ninth-Order Grandmaster who has cultivated to the point of mastering Innate Primordial Qi.

Ninth-Order Martial Artist, through the Yuan Gang Alternation, can transform Innate Gang Qi into Innate Primordial Qi, and then into internal energy, allowing them to survive in the starry sky. On planets with a mass not exceeding 80 trillion tons, they can briefly achieve aerial flight.

The mass of Blue Star is approximately 60 trillion trillion tons.

"I'm a Special Enrollment Student from Blue Star University participating in military training. Who are you?"

Chen Lie knew that this middle-aged man must be a top-tier powerhouse on Blue Star, so he didn't hide it.

"Special Enrollment Student at Blue Star University?"

The middle-aged man found it strange and asked, "What are you doing here instead of participating in military training, being Special Enrollment Student from Blue Star University?"

Also, how did you manage to control this flying Exotic Beast?

"I heard that the Star Beast is serious, so I came to take a look."

The reason I can control this Exotic Beast is because I possess a special secret technique for controlling Outer Stars Exotic Beast.

"I didn't expect that among this year's Special Enrollment Student at Blue Star University, there would be someone so concerned about the situation in the Northwest. Which province on Blue Star are you Special Enrollment Student from?" the middle-aged man asked.

East River Province!

East River Province?

The middle-aged man found it strange. Although he didn't know the specific Martial Arts Index ranking of East River Province, he was well aware that East River Province was a barren and backward province on Blue Star.

You still haven't answered me who you are.

The middle-aged man said, "You don't know me?"

I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest Frontline Army, Shi Yuanzheng.

"Shi Yuanzheng?"

Chen Lie seemed to have heard the name on the TV Blue Star Times, but he couldn't remember the details.

"You are Special Enrollment Student of Blue Star University, and you have witnessed firsthand the dire situation of the beast infestation in the Kunlun Ruins of Northwest China. Tell me, what are your thoughts on the future of Blue Star?"

"My opinion?" Chen Lie said bluntly, "I think that if the Northwest Beast Plague is not alleviated, there will only be one outcome: Blue Star will be doomed."

Shi Yuanzheng frowned immediately and scolded, "You're a young man, and since you had the courage to come to Kunlun Ruins, why are you so dejected and pessimistic?"

"This has nothing to do with being depressed or pessimistic; I'm just stating a fact," Chen Liedao.

"Hmph, do you think Blue Star is destined for destruction?"

You dared to ride Exotic Beast alone to the Kunlun Ruins Earth Cave. I thought you were a brave person, but I didn't expect you to be so scared by the Exotic Beast!

"If all the young people on our Blue Star were like you, what future would our Blue Star have?" Shi Yuanzheng sneered and reprimanded.

"You're really something else. I'm just telling you the truth, and you don't want to hear it, so why are you asking me?"

I estimate that the entire Kunlun Mountain Range in the Northwest of Blue Star are probably home to tens of millions of Exotic Beast, and more than ten thousand Exotic Beast emerge from this Earth Cave every day.

Even if the army could eliminate 10,000 Exotic Beast a day, it could only offset the Exotic Beast emerging from the Earth Cave every day; the number of Exotic Beast was constant at tens of millions.

Unlike Exotic Beast, higher-level Exotic Beast often exert bloodline suppression on lower-level Exotic Beast, causing the lower-level Exotic Beast to cooperate with or even follow the actions of the higher-level Exotic Beast.

Currently, the Exotic Beast around Kunlun Ruins are in a relatively peaceful state, fighting each other independently without any unified action.

If one day, several Grandmaster-level Exotic Beast gather together and rampage, then thousands upon thousands of Exotic Beast will soon respond, and a beast tide will erupt in an instant. Once the beast tide is formed, if it cannot be extinguished immediately, it will only get worse.

Imagine tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of Exotic Beast charging wildly towards the Northwest Defense Line. Could the defense line withstand that?

Shi Yuanzheng remained silent for a long time before finally asking, "How do you know that the Exotic Beast will form a beast tide?"

"In every news report from the Blue Star Times about the Northwest Frontline, when Grandmaster-level Exotic Beast attacked, weren't there hundreds of low-level Exotic Beast following behind?"

"That's utter nonsense! You're just going to conclude that the Exotic Beast will eventually form a beast tide based on the fact that a few hundred low-level Exotic Beast follow each time Grandmaster-level Exotic Beast attacks the front lines?"

"Since the emergence of Exotic Beast from the Kunlun Ruins Earth Cave, decades or even centuries have passed, and there hasn't been a single beast tide?"

Chen Liedao, "This is just a factual deduction."

"Be realistic? According to your assumptions, Blue Star is doomed to destruction, isn't it?"

May I have your name?"

Shi Yuanzheng looked at Chen Lie with an unfriendly expression.

"Why do you want to ask my name? Do you intend to hold me accountable?" Chen Lie retorted.

Shi Yuanzheng snorted coldly, "Even if you don't give your name, I'll still find you."

"Brother, you asked for my opinion first before I said these things. I told you my thoughts according to your wishes, and you're not happy about it, fine, but do you want to hold me accountable later?"

Isn't that a rather unethical thing to do?

"Am I a dishonest person?"

Shi Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage. He reached out his hand to Chen Lie, and immediately a huge suction force appeared in Shi Yuanzheng's palm, pulling Chen Lie off the back of the Exotic Beast.

Faced with Ninth-Order Grandmaster- level Martial Artist, Chen Lie knew he had no power to resist, so he went with the flow and was grabbed by the collar and held in Shi Yuanzheng's hand.

"Judging from your robust health, you seemed destined for greatness, but I never imagined you would be so utterly unpromising."

"To say I'm beyond redemption? I only came to that conclusion from an objective perspective regarding the scourge of the Exotic Beast."

Ask yourself honestly, with so many Exotic Beast, and ten thousand of them constantly emerging from the Earth Cave every day, do you really think the future of Blue Star is promising?

"Even so, as a citizen of Blue Star, you should be protecting your home and country. How can you respond so passively?"

"Did I say I was being passive? I came here to see just how severe the Star Beast really is!"

Shi Yuanzheng snorted coldly and loosened his grip on Chen Lie's collar.

The flying Exotic Beast controlled by Chen Lie's Mental Power took advantage of the interruption to Chen Lie's Mental Power operation and flew away instantly.

Seeing this, Chen Lie said, "The Exotic Beast I was controlling has run away. You'll have to take me back later!"

"I can take you back, but since you're so pessimistic about the future of Blue Star, tell me why. Do you think Blue Star is destined for destruction?" Shi Yuanzheng said.

Chen Lie shook his head and said, "I'm not saying that Blue Star will definitely perish. What I'm saying is that Blue Star will find it difficult to solve the problem of Exotic Beast by relying on its own local strength."

"You mean, we should use Outer Stars power to solve the beast problem on Blue Star?"

"That's right." Chen Lie nodded.

"Blue Star's interstellar diplomacy is among the worst in the Canglan Star Domain. It has absolutely no connections with the major planets in the Central Canglan Star Domain, so it's impossible for it to get Outer Stars forces to intervene."

"That's not necessarily true. As long as Blue Star produces a super genius who becomes a high-ranking figure in the Canglan Star Domain, they can naturally mobilize Outer Stars forces to help Blue Star."

Shi Yuanzheng scoffed and said, "You're thinking too simply. Your so-called super genius should at least be in the top twenty of the Canglan Star Domain's genius list, right? Even the most outstanding genius on our Blue Star is still a long way from the top twenty of the Star Region's genius list."

Such extraordinary geniuses might appear on our Blue Star, but they would certainly be one in a hundred years.

Blue Star has only been in the Martial Era for a little over a hundred years.

It's better to hope that someone on Blue Star can break through to the Tenth-Order Heavenly Human Grandmaster or the ninth-tier Mental Power Grandmaster level than to hope for the emergence of such a super genius, allowing such a powerful person to delve into the Earth Cave to find out more.

As long as no more Exotic Beast emerge from the Earth Cave, even if the Kunlun Mountain Range are home to tens of millions of Exotic Beast, the problem can be gradually resolved.

Chen Lie remained silent in response to this statement. He couldn't very well say that he had foreseen the future and that even Heavenly Human Grandmaster couldn't solve the problem of the Exotic Beast emerging from the Earth Cave.

Seeing that Chen Lie remained silent, Shi Yuanzheng Chen Lie ignored him and instead watched the burrow below the Earth Cave from Exotic Beast were emerging.

He murmured, "The frequency of high-level Exotic Beast emerging from the Earth Cave is increasing. If this trend continues, and if Blue Star cannot produce Tenth-Stage Martial Artist within twenty years, the situation will truly be in grave danger."

After standing on the hillside for a while, Shi Yuanzheng turned to Chen Lie and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back!"

Without waiting for Chen Lie's reply, he grabbed Chen Lie's clothes and began to fly through the air.

Ten minutes later, Shi Yuanzheng dragged Chen Lie to a high plain where an airship was parked.

As soon as I landed, a Three-Star Officer came to greet me.

"Commander, you're back. And this is—" The Three-Star Officer looked at Chen Lie.

"Take a Special Enrollment Student from Blue Star University who is participating in military training with us back to the military camp," Shi Yuanzheng said.

"Yes!"

Although the Three-Star Officer found it strange that the Special Enrollment Student participating in military training were here, he did not ask.

After boarding the airship, Chen Lie sat quietly in the back seat without saying a word.

The airship took off and sped toward the Northwest Defense Line.

About ten minutes later, the airship passed through the vast sea of beasts and landed in the army Base Camp inside the defensive line.

As soon as the airship landed, Shi Yuanzheng was the first to get off.

At this moment, a military general stepped forward.

"Commander, I have important news to report."

Shi Yuanzheng asked, "What is it?"

"Through the introduction of a candidate for Administrator of Blue Star, a guest from Outer Stars, Red Flame Planet, wishes to meet with you."

"Oh? People from Red Flame Planet? Where are they?"

"I'm currently waiting in the waiting area. I wonder if I'll be able to see you?"

"Why not see him? Bring this guest from Outer Stars over!"

"Yes!"

Shi Yuanzheng glanced at Chen Lie inside the airship and said to the Three-Star Officer beside him, "Tell this kid everything about how our Frontline Army fought against the Exotic Beast, how many victories we achieved without casualties, and how many Exotic Beast we eliminated on average each year."

After saying that, they took him back to the Military Training Zone.

"Clear!"

The three-star general replied.

Shi Yuanzheng glanced at the airship again and walked to the distant playground.

After Shi Yuanzheng left, the Samsung general asked Chen Lie, "Young man, who are you? What is your relationship with Commander Shi?"

"It's nothing, we just met by chance," Chen Liedao.

"Nonsense! If it's alright, would Commander Shi take you to the Kunlun Ruins Earth Cave?"

"I went there myself!" Chen Liedao.

"Even Grandmaster Martial Artist might not be able to reach that place, what level are you?"

"Fine, think what you want."

The three-star general said, "The commander-in-chief instructed me to give you a briefing on the victories in the Northwest. Pay attention, I'm about to begin."

After saying that, the three-star general talked about how many Exotic Beast the Frontline Army eliminated each year, how many great victories they had achieved, how tens of thousands of elite troops crossed the front lines to fight against the Exotic Beast, and how many times the army returned without suffering any losses.

After speaking for more than ten minutes, the three-star general asked Chen Lie some questions. Upon learning that Chen Lie was indeed a Special Enrollment Student from Blue Star University participating in military training, he added, "You're Special Enrollment Student from Blue Star University participating in military training; today is a good opportunity for you to broaden your horizons."

"Oh? What kind of eye-opening experience?" Chen Lie asked immediately.

"A genius from Red Flame Planet, ranked on the Canglan Star Domain's genius list, has come to pay his respects to Commander Shi."

This genius is said to be a member of the royal family of Red Flame Planet.

"Royal?"

" In the Canglan Star Domain East, there are five inhabited planets, including Blue Star. Among the five inhabited planets, Red Flame Planet has the strongest overall strength."

The system of Red Flame Planet is similar to that of our Blue Star hundreds of years ago; it was a feudal dynasty, and as such, it naturally had a royal family.

"I see."

Chen Lie nodded, but inwardly he disagreed.

Meeting royalty from a planet is supposed to broaden your horizons? That's bullshit!

The royal family members of a planet number in the hundreds of thousands or even millions. If someone doesn't fare well among the royal family members of Red Flame Planet, they might not even live as well as a provincial-level genius on Blue Star.

At this moment, outside the airship, a beautiful and dignified young woman walked gracefully into the military camp's training ground.

Her hair was styled in a high bun, and her headdress and clothing were exactly like those of a noble lady from an ancient dynasty on Blue Star hundreds of years ago.

"Princess Zhu Jingxi of the Great Flame Dynasty Red Flame Planet greets the senior Grandmaster."

The young woman bowed slightly in greeting to Shi Yuanzheng.

"So you are the Princess Red Flame Planet Princess Lingyan Star?"

Shi Yuanzheng glanced at the girl and said, "No need to be polite. You are a highly valued royal genius of Red Flame Planet. Very few members of the Red Flame Planet royal family are granted titles. In terms of status, you may not be much lower than me."

"You are a senior, Jing Xi is just a junior. A junior should treat a senior with respect." The girl said calmly.

Shi Yuanzheng nodded slightly and said, "I heard you asked our Blue Star candidates to recommend me. Is there something you need from me?"

"Jing Xi was entrusted by the Emperor of Great Yan to ask the Commander-in-Chief of the Blue Star Army to send Blue Star troops to Red Flame Planet to help Great Yan quell the rebellion and wipe out the bandits."

"In exchange, we are willing to ask our royal ancestor, Heavenly Human Grandmaster Realm, to help us delve into the Kunlun Ruins Earth Cave Blue Star and explore the mystery of Blue Star's Exotic Beast," the girl said calmly.

Shi Yuanzheng was taken aback upon hearing this, and then replied, "It's no use asking me about this; you need to ask the global Administrator of our Blue Star to issue a decree."
