Summoning Players into My Game Chapter 744 - 380: The Enemy Must Be Met Beyond the Planet
Previously on Summoning Players into My Game...
Prison Dragon Star, Land of Serenity.
Deep several hundred kilometers underground on Prison Dragon Star, the Land of Serenity stands as one of the rare second-class Strange Lands, forming a tiny world with flowing streams and swirling mists that evoke a mystical fairyland. A closer look at these streams and mists reveals they consist of thick special energy.
Within this zone covering under four square kilometers, Heavenly Human Realm Grandmasters can cultivate freely and advance swiftly without effort; even Blood Coagulation Realm Martial Artists progress steadily just by staying here, no active cultivation needed.
Right now, by the stream, the over-ten-meters-tall Baroque with eight wings stared in disbelief at his smart wristband, which showed a young man clad in cyan scales.
"Di Qi, stop messing around. How could all four Blue Star guardians be unreachable?" Baroque, brimming with doubt, refused to buy the young man's claim.
Di Qi may appear youthful, but he holds the sixth spot among Prison Dragon Star's army corps commanders, forever rivaling him. It's strange enough that he'd contact him first, much less share such explosive information.
As a fourth-class breeding planet, Blue Star boasts four guardians capable of crushing any local faction effortlessly. Assassinating all four at once without alerting Prison Dragon Star would demand every faction on Blue Star uniting for a surprise assault. Yet, the guardians would surely catch wind of it, making a simultaneous ambush and kill utterly implausible.
Furthermore, should Blue Star's people somehow wipe out all four guardians together, it would spell their own doom.
The total annihilation of guardians signals the breeding planet's freedom, a direct insult to Prison Dragon Star's Lord. The Star Lord would then unleash a bloodbath on Blue Star, offering no gain to its inhabitants. That's why the Holy Hall stations agents on breeding planets—to ensure even dominant local forces won't dare act against guardians, quietly enduring the exploitation.
This remains true even if the Holy Hall stirs the native powers; without evacuating an entire planet's population—an impossible feat—they'd face annihilation.
Barring total ignorance of the Imperial Country's might, Blue Star's people wouldn't risk eliminating all four guardians. Constant raids by massive armies make the power gap crystal clear to breeding planet dwellers.
"It's real; the Star Lord has likely heard by now and will call a punishment assembly soon." Di Qi grinned. "That's precisely why I reached out. You know the top contribution prize this time. With our scores, first place—or even top five—is out of reach, but this is our chance. The Star Lord will purge Blue Star thoroughly. Our combined armies could claim first, and we'll split the rewards fairly."
"Teaming up for first place? You just want my intel, that's your real play." Baroque sneered at Di Qi.
Word of his loss to Blue Star's natives has swept across Prison Dragon Star, and forces besting him must hold rich resources.
Old rules banned poaching, but Blue Star's full purge voids them. To rack up contributions, grabbing those powerful natives first is key.
Many commanders might suspect which force beat him, but not the exact ones. Partnering with him offers the quickest path to the prize.
"So, are you in or not?" Di Qi, unbothered by the exposure, smiled. "You know that force's strength better than anyone; you can't hog it alone. With me, it's possible. Or let those three snag the Soul Crystal? They won't thank you."
"Alright, we'll team up, but a contract first!" Baroque paused thoughtfully before agreeing.
This time, the Soul Crystal lies completely beyond his grasp, and should Di Qi seize the Soul Crystal, he could swiftly attain the Half-step Divine Fusion Realm. The goodwill of a Half-step Divine Fusion Realm powerhouse carries immense worth; indeed, across the whole Prison Dragon Star, only one such Half-step Divine Fusion Realm figure exists right now, with the other two barely matching their might, and the Star Lord places unique value on this slim half-step gap.
Prison Dragon Star, inside the Star Lord’s palace.
In the majestic and opulent hall, more than a hundred army corps commanders gathered, whispering about Blue Star issues, filling the space with vibrant chatter.
"It’s been over a hundred years, and there have only been three rebellions across the entire breeding planet in our Divine Woman Star System; couldn’t believe we’d encounter one."
"Those four guardians are truly useless, letting those natives grow so fat without knowing to harvest them earlier."
"Indeed, I heard the rebelling indigenous forces are from Blue Star’s Four Domains, not the Restricted Area sanctuary nor the Holy Hall. Can’t fathom how they nurtured them to their own demise."
"I heard too, the force seems to be called Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, emerging from a city in the Four Domains, and not just capturing those guardians but also a Star Pirate of Half-step Divine Fusion Realm."
