Chapter 2834 - 2: Reporting In

In Giant Mosquito’s Compound Eyes, wisps of contemplation flickered.

"Maybe I’m overthinking it. Because I’ve seen another World, and I know there are far stronger Strong Ones out there. With that kind of preconceived notion, I’ll naturally assume the Energy here was created by some Strong One. But for the Strong Ones inside the Milky Way, that’s something very hard to accept in the short term. So many of them simply don’t believe the Energy here was caused by a Strong One—thinking that way would confuse their confidence as Strong Ones and their sense of direction for advancing in strength."

"So in the end, a large number of Strong Ones reach a consensus: the Energy here was created by Nature. Besides, other than me, probably no one has gone within ten degrees of Subspace and seen that this Energy actually destroyed even the inside of Subspace."

"Of course, even if someone did enter, they’d probably still think it was all the combined impact of Natural phenomena, which is also possible in their view."

Jia Yan himself knew that far beyond the Galaxy Level Existence, there are beings that exist, so he didn’t feel that such an existence was something unimaginable.

Others, however, won’t think this way. After all, in the history of the Milky Way, there has been absolutely no record of such an existence ever appearing. So they simply won’t believe such a being truly exists. As for this Energy, if they say it was caused by some special cosmic astronomical phenomenon, that’s also a possible explanation.

For example, caused by gamma-ray bursts, or torn by black holes and the like. Even if it’s hard to fully justify, in the Universe there are countless bizarre events. Even now, when the Milky Way has grown so advanced, there are still a vast number of natural scenes that science cannot explain.

"Th-this Lord, are you trying to pass through?"

Right as Jia Yan arrived outside this vast land of light, a weak little voice spoke up from the side.

"Hmm?"

Jia Yan was slightly taken aback.

It wasn’t that he didn’t know there were people guarding this place; he just knew that the creatures here were a group of Dignitaries or Semi-permanent Star Level. Logically, beings of that level shouldn’t dare strike up a conversation with a Galacixc Level Powerhouse.

Yet looking at it now, this group of Weak Ones standing guard actually dared speak to a Galacixc Level Powerhouse. That did surprise Jia Yan a bit.

"What is it?"

Jia Yan turned around, his expression carrying no particular emotion.

To Strong Ones, Weak Ones are just Weak Ones. Even if the Weak show some degree of offense, as long as it doesn’t cross a certain line, Strong Ones usually won’t bother doing anything.

Because such Weak Ones are almost negligible. So Jia Yan didn’t feel that this little speech of his warranted any mental effort.

Perhaps Jia Yan’s attitude emboldened the other side.

The one speaking was a Respect Level Existence.

"Respected Lord, this barrier checkpoint is within the territory governed by our faction. If you wish to enter, we need to carry out a brief registration for you. Lord, please don’t make things hard on us—this is our rule."

The other was actually quite smart, knowing Strong Ones usually dislike this kind of thing, so he hurried to explain that it was just their rules.

At this moment, that Respect-Level Being was actually cursing in his heart.

Within the faction he’d joined, he was originally just a completely insignificant figure. This time his assignment was to guard some remote section of the light-screen for a few decades. He’d basically been living here like retirement, and had never imagined that in such an obscure place, a Galacixc Level Powerhouse would actually pass through.

Yet unexpectedly, this Galacixc Level Powerhouse really did show up.

If he angered the other party, his own little life—and even the lives of all the faction creatures guarding around this light screen—would likely be forfeit.

But he didn’t dare stay silent, because that was the faction’s demand, and his duty.

"Oh? You want me to register? Do you know what level I’m at?"

Jia Yan smiled faintly, almost wanting to laugh out loud.

In this Milky Way, there were still Respect-Level Beings who weren’t afraid of a Galaxy Level existence. To him, this was a rather fresh experience.

"I-I know, y-you’re Galaxy Level."

The other stammered, mustering up his courage for a long while before finally speaking out Jia Yan’s level.

"No, I’m not just Galaxy Level. I’m a Middle Level Existence in Star River, even stronger than the usual Middle-stage galaxy level type. Do you know what that means? And now, you still want to block me?"

Jia Yan still wasn’t angry. As he’d said before, when Strong Ones deal with a Weak One, they generally won’t get angry, because no matter how the Weak view a Strong One, they can’t affect the Strong in the slightest. Of course, if a Strong One is in a bad mood, or has a heavy killing disposition, they might casually kill a Weak One who offends them, and usually nobody would pursue it.

Jia Yan’s good temper was so commendable he himself almost wanted to give it a thumbs-up.

But what surprised Jia Yan was that the creatures guarding around them all seemed used to this situation. They were afraid, sure, but each of their expressions held a hint of courage.

Sure enough, after Jia Yan spoke, he saw that Respect-Level Being who was talking with him think it over for a long time, then finally summon his courage to say the following words.

"Lord is a Middle Level Existence in Star River? I’ve offended you. But Lord, you must understand, this is our duty. Guarding this place is a requirement from our faction. Our faction has a certain influence in the Central Starfield of the Milky Way. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been allocated a segment of the Starry Sky light screen battle-line. Lord, if you feel that we little ones aren’t qualified to talk with you, please wait a few days. A Galaxy Level existence from our faction is nearby—he will come soon to meet you for an equal discussion."

Hmm?

Jia Yan was slightly startled.

No wonder this Respect-Level Being dared address a Galaxy Level Existence like him this way.

It was obvious that this faction he spoke of must be a colossal giant, so huge that even a mere Respect-Level Being dared talk so boldly to a Middle Level Existence in Star River.

"There’s even going to be a Galaxy Level coming to talk with me? From his tone, I can tell that this Galaxy Level existence probably won’t be much weaker than me. In other words, he’s likely also a Middle Level Existence in Star River. Of course, I feel ordinary Middle Level Existence in Star River pose little threat to me. But the fact that a Middle Level Existence in Star River can be dispatched here so casually means this faction is absolutely not to be underestimated."

It was chilling if you thought about it in depth.

Indeed, to be able to garrison the entrance to the Milky Way Central Star Domain’s Starry Sky, and even fully enclose the surroundings within the sphere of their faction’s control, they must be a colossal force. That Respect-Level Being had even said their faction had a certain influence throughout the entire Milky Way Central.

This indicated the other side was a member of an enormous faction. Of course, his words were also meant to make Jia Yan show a bit of self-awareness.

Although there was a superpower behind them, within this Place of Light, Jia Yan’s strength still crushed them. If they died, regardless of whether that Middle Level Existence in Star River would hunt Jia Yan down, they themselves wouldn’t be saved. So when it was time to yield, they absolutely wouldn’t hesitate.

"Fine, I’ll do the registration."

Jia Yan smiled faintly. Once he’d thought it through, he understood that this so-called registration was probably very easy to get through.

If he didn’t give his real name, what could they do to him?

Besides, even without registering, they already had recorded images here. If he didn’t register, they’d still know what he looked like.

Having sorted all this out, he no longer dwelled on it.

Registration was registration. In any case, he didn’t want to provoke another powerful new enemy before he’d even fully entered the Central Starfield of the Milky Way.

Just like that last Domain Master Creature that had inexplicably ended up chasing him. Jia Yan felt he absolutely couldn’t let that kind of existence pop up again this time.
