Chapter 2822 - 66: The Passage’s Trump Card of Assassin

No matter what, they know that given the current development, even if they always intended to ignore Lord Jia Yan, they must now approach him directly.

The Earth civilization, having achieved victory in the war against the Liruo civilization, erupted in exuberant celebration.

Moreover, some well-informed individuals learned from external online news that Liruo himself had died at his home after playing a game, amplifying the festivity even more.

Previously, the player who killed an Earth civilization member had left the people of Earth deeply anxious. If not for the large number of participants in the last battle, they might not have dared to take the battlefield.

Now, though no ordinary player could guess that it was Jia Yan who manipulated the in-game events leading to Liruo’s death, they knew that the existence of Liruo could no longer threaten the real players of Earth civilization, dispelling their inner gloom and leading to more heartfelt celebrations of victory.

"Hahaha, with Lord Jia Yan, this game is definitely a win for us."

"That’s right, even if we don’t win, according to the agreement we made initially about dividing the spoils—oh no, I mean, the war spoils—we’re sure to get rich."

"Hahaha, what do you all say, what kind of being is our Lord Jia Yan exactly? Liruo died at his hands; he’s definitely not just an ordinary semi-permanent star level, right?"

"What semi-permanent star level? From what I’ve heard, some people are saying Lord Jia Yan is actually a stellar-level existence. They even say Liruo’s death occurred because after killing him in the game, Jia Yan’s true body went and killed Liruo in reality, because Liruo had previously killed our Earth civilization player. With such protection from Lord Jia Yan, our Earth civilization is destined to ultimately triumph."

"Huh? A stellar-level lord? How terrifying that Lord Jia Yan can be such an existence, even playing games—that scares me."

"Don’t be scared, Lord Jia Yan treats us well; otherwise, he wouldn’t distribute the spoils to us so generously each time."

"Yes, yes, Lord Jia Yan is different from typical strong lords; he treats the weak fairly and even avenges us."

Within the Earth civilization, the overwhelming discussions were full of admiration for Jia Yan.

Though many also believed that Jia Yan eradicated Liruo, they thought it must be that Lord Jia Yan’s true body went to where Liruo’s true body was, killed Liruo in the game, and then killed his true body again.

As for utilizing the game channel to kill a semi-permanent star level, they wouldn’t even dare to think of it, just like Earth people would never imagine killing someone instantly through a phone signal; such things are like fairy tales.

For Jia Yan, who went to Liruo’s region to annihilate him, braving the danger of being captured by strong ones in the galaxy, they had a very positive impression.

Of course, if they knew Jia Yan was not merely a stellar level but a galactic-grade existence, they would be less moved, as the gap between galaxy-level and stellar level is vast. Even a starfield ruler in this starry sky wouldn’t dare to easily instigate a conflict; after all, galaxy-level and stellar levels aren’t even on the same plane.

"Lord, the material transactions have started. As we did before, half of the income is ours, and we’ll distribute a quarter of the rest to all Earth civilization members. Does this sound good? If it’s not enough, we might as well keep all of it."

Adisa reported and conversed with Jia Yan in subspace.

"No need, the effects of these materials are better than I expected. The gains this time should be enough for me to complete the mutation process; as a proud galactic-grade, it wouldn’t be right to go back on my word."

Jia Yan casually responded to Adisa.

"Understood, Lord, your magnanimity is indeed humbling."

Adisa, having served as Sovereign for a while, seemed almost human, with a mindset increasingly akin to a real person.

"Hmm, by the way, I anticipate that the game operators will soon arrive. Greet them on my behalf. Regardless of what promises they make, do not agree to anything. Let Earth civilization quickly approach that other semi-permanent star level, and once we have conquered their civilization, we can negotiate."

"Understood, Lord. I get it."

Adisa, becoming increasingly slick, understood Jia Yan’s intentions.

Jia Yan’s strategy was to gain more benefits.

Since this harvest is more than enough for Jia Yan to complete his mutation, there is no need to be overly cautious in the upcoming actions. Even the Adisa can be charged enough so that, in the presence of domain master creatures, they can escape again, with no need to worry so much.

"This harvest brings us many benefits; for now, completing my mutation is most important."

After Adisa left, Jia Yan stayed alone in the subspace, carefully examining the gains.

Despite so many battleship wrecks in the starry sky, and the main ship of the other side still being sorted out, Jia Yan already knew how much would be gained as most of the war dividends had been tallied.

"Let the final stage of mutation conclude."

The enormous cocoon-like object that Jia Yan transformed into began to pulsate with a new rhythm.

He continued with his mutation.

And while Jia Yan immersed himself fully in his mutation without concerning himself with external matters, Adisa exited the subspace and, as predicted by Jia Yan, awaited the arrival of the game operators.

"Greetings, Sovereign Lord of the Earth civilization."

"Oh, the true forms themselves have arrived, two stellar-level beings within—you honor us, Lords."

Adisa, controlling the Sovereign’s body, piloted a battleship to a location far from the Earth civilization, to meet two stellar-level beings.

These two stellar beings, after all, are stellar-level, each towering a kilometer high, majestic as mountain peaks.

"We’re unworthy of such praises, Sovereign Lord. You joined the game alongside Lord Jia Yan; you must be quite remarkable as well. We should be the ones addressing you as Lord."

The two stellar-level beings humbly positioned themselves lower.

Though they couldn’t clearly identify the strength of this Sovereign, seeming neither biological nor mechanical, to collaborate with Jia Yan in establishing the Earth civilization and stirring up the Game Star Space, they knew this Sovereign was not to be trifled with.

"Hehe, let’s not get tangled up in all this ’Lord’-calling. I roughly understand your purpose here, but I’d still like you to elaborate."

Adisa did not dwell too much on the pleasantries concerning titles; after all, it had no intent to refer to the two stellar-level Lords formally. Though the Adisa’s combat power couldn’t match a stellar-level, it was a galactic-grade backpack smart brain, with a standing far surpassing the stellar level.

The two stellar-level beings exchanged glances, and one of them cautiously spoke.

"Sovereign Lord, we wonder if we might speak directly with Lord Jia Yan... Because, you see, we would like to know Lord Jia Yan’s thoughts."

"No need, I can represent Lord Jia Yan. You may speak."

"Alright, we’ll tell you."

The two stellar-level beings looked at Adisa with respect.
