The so-called inheritance may not necessarily be about achieving a certain goal; it may simply be because someone catches your eye. As for how far that person can go after receiving the inheritance, that depends entirely on the individual.
However, those who can attract the attention of people outside his social class usually possess exceptional characteristics and qualities. Coupled with the inheritance or assistance bestowed upon him, taking off is only a matter of time.
Li Xingkong saw in this child a quality that transcended that of everyone else on this planet, which is why he was willing to lend a helping hand.
Of course, this so-called help was just going with the flow, and Li Xingkong wouldn't worry too much about such things. After all, the direction of civilization should be decided by the people of that civilization themselves, and it would be inappropriate for an outsider like himself to interfere too much.
Having successfully obtained the energy interface, Li Xingkong did not linger there any longer.
Having destroyed the Snail People's core star system and scattered their basic armed forces, the Snail People's civilization is now practically extinct. For a long time to come, they will no longer have time to bother Divine Land.
The most crucial thing I wanted to do on this trip has now come to an end, and there was an unexpected bonus: I obtained the certificate of the Convention.
In the future, as long as Divine Land doesn't provoke other civilizations, its path of development will be relatively safer.
Although Li Xingkong's actions against the Snail People have not been met with any intervention from the Convention so far, it seems that the Convention is not actually that concerned about the survival of its subordinate small countries, and the Convention's name is not as useful as one might imagine.
But the main reason Li Xingkong dared to do this was because he was fighting a counterattack, a self-defense effort. That's why he was so fearless, and even if it was someone from the Convention, he had no conscience.
If it were any other civilization, they would have to think far too much before taking action.
Either antagonize those who agree to the Convention, or provide money and supplies to silence them.
Li Xingkong didn't think that much about it, mainly because he was a loner and had a lot of freedom to act on his own.
As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. Li Xingkong's current situation is just like that. He can come and go as he pleases and cause trouble everywhere. If the other side can't figure out his background, they can only suffer in silence.
Besides, Li Xingkong gained a lot from this trip, seeing a wider world, more people, and more diverse civilizations.
His understanding of the entire known universe was also completely broadened during this trip.
Their perspective expanded from a small planet like Earth Star to numerous star systems.
The vastness of the universe and the insignificance of individual power only strengthened Li Xingkong's belief in cultivation.
Although as Golden Core, one can go to most places in the universe, it is too early to say that one is invincible.
Each civilization has its unique advantages in its development. If Li Xingkong hadn't been quick-witted this time, under the protection of the Shield of Truth, he might not have been able to do anything to the Snail People's core planet.
The path of cultivation is still long, and I need to work even harder in my practice.
Let's set a small goal first: achieve the Spirit Transformation, and graduate from the Immortal Cultivation University before worrying about anything else.
After taking stock of the gains from this long journey and roughly outlining the development plan for the next stage, Li Xingkong embarked on his journey back to Earth Star amidst this review and planning.
Although the cultivation plan did seem to need to start as soon as possible, before that, there was another important matter on Li Xingkong's mind: he needed to return to Earth Star as soon as possible to investigate the truth.
During his conversation with Xuanyizi at the Chamber of Commerce, Li Xingkong learned that several major powers in the universe were conducting explorations and investigations in nearby star regions. Although he didn't know what they were looking for, such a large-scale operation was very likely related to the system.
The system appears on Earth Star, and if these people are really after the system, they will eventually find their way to the vicinity of Earth Star.
This is not a good thing for Earth Star. Divine Land is still in its developmental stage and is no match for such a behemoth.
Even if they don't find what they want in the end, it wouldn't be strange for them to casually destroy a civilization to vent their anger.
He needs to get back as soon as possible. On Earth Star now, only his presence might make these forces think twice.
After all, although they possess weapons that can alter the fundamental laws of the universe, these things cannot be used at will. Like nuclear weapons on Earth Star during the Cold War, they are deterrent weapons. If they were to actually use one, not only would others not agree, but the three major powers would not agree to it either.
Strictly speaking, Earth Star is still within the territory of the Kingdom of Fixed Light. Although the other two major powers have launched operations there, the commotion will not be too significant.
The Kingdom of Fixed Light will not use their regular weapons again near Earth Star —after all, the entire Earth Star and the surrounding star system are already within the range where they demonstrate the power of their regular weapons.
The speed of light limit currently observed on Earth Star is a result that they have already revised once, so naturally they won't waste energy doing it again.
Even so, for Divine Land, it's only good news, neither good nor bad. Without the ultimate weapon, a force of this caliber could still easily defeat Divine Land.
It was only under these circumstances that Li Xingkong could find a sliver of an opportunity to maneuver.
If he were even stronger, the situation might have been completely different.
I've thought of all this, but these are all things that would only happen under the most extreme and worst-case scenarios. Logically speaking, after the probes have yielded no results, the probability that these major forces will return empty-handed is much higher.
However, this idea is contingent on Li Xingkong first sending the Convention's symbol back to Divine Land.
For countries included in the Convention, they might be willing to let it go out of consideration for face, but for indigenous civilizations not included in the Convention, the consequences are unimaginable.
The gap between civilizations was too great. Li Xingkong could not deduce the specific strength of the major powers from the aliens he had encountered so far, nor could he know their detection speed and progress. He could only choose to return as quickly as possible.
Just as Li Xingkong flew away from the core star sector of the Snail People, found the warp node he had come from, and was preparing to return the way he came, a spaceship with a style extremely similar to the Snail People's spaceship approached him.
When Li Xingkong first saw the spaceship, he instinctively prepared to cast a spell at it, but fortunately he took another look and then stopped.
Although this spaceship looks similar to the Snail People's spaceship, it is far more advanced in detail than Snail People, and it doesn't seem to be their creation.
"Mr. Planet Exterminator, isn't it incredibly rude of you to smash someone's doghouse and then just leave?"
