Chapter 2852 - 11: So Frustrating

The Insect Clan Queen wasn’t angry at all, because Jia Yan has always been like this.

Or rather, the Insect Clan Queen, up until now, has this overall impression of Jia Yan: it’s not so much about his incredible Talent, but more about the fact that Jia Yan is someone very difficult to control, very stubborn.

"Long time no see, indeed, Jia Yan. Over the past year, why haven’t you returned? If it weren’t for me thinking you’re not that kind of person, I would have already sent people to notify the back, to wherever on the Orion Arm you were."

The Insect Clan Queen appeared indifferent.

Jia Yan was slightly startled.

He knew that sending people to the Orion Arm was not about a friendly visit, but very likely, due to Jia Yan not listening to commands, would result in a massacre at Orion Arm.

"Queen, how about this, let’s find a place, and I will tell you about my recent situation."

Jia Yan said to the Insect Clan Queen.

"Alright, let’s go to the great hall."

The Insect Clan Queen nodded, transforming into a stream of light, rushing towards the direction of the Energy Circle.

This speed...

Jia Yan sighed.

The Insect Clan Queen didn’t exert any extremely strenuous force, yet in an instant transformed into a beam of light - if she had attacked Jia Yan, he wouldn’t even have had time to react before being annihilated in a single breath.

Indeed, it’s because the distance between them is close. If they were enemies, Jia Yan certainly wouldn’t let the opponent get so close.

Earlier, Jia Yan didn’t sense the presence of the Insect Clan Queen, because she has such Ability, coupled with Jia Yan’s deliberate act of allowing the Queen into close proximity.

If they were truly enemies...

Jia Yan thought for a moment, estimating that earlier he only had less than thirty percent chance of retreating into Subspace, and even less than twenty percent chance of escaping to the Tenth-degree Subspace using his Subspace Talent.

It seems like, when facing the Insect Clan Queen, he really has no chance of escape!

"That’s right, not even mentioning the Insect Clan Queen, even the Domain Master whom I clashed with earlier, despite his failed ambush and severe injury, I was in the Seventh-degree Subspace and almost got killed. In the usual Space, if the opponent attacks me, my chance of escape isn’t great, the Insect Clan Queen could have gravely injured him, so it’s normal for me to die more easily."

Jia Yan sighed bitterly.

Clearly I’ve enhanced my Power, but wherever I go, I encounter entities even scarier than me.

Even the black sheep, despite not being a Domain Master, Jia Yan feels that if a real battle had erupted earlier, aside from escaping into the Tenth-degree Subspace, he would have no other way.

When will my Power reach Domain Lord Level? Otherwise, it’s so frustrating...

Jia Yan smiled wryly.

But he also thought about it, every Level has its own frustrations, as well as foes one can’t handle. Perhaps when he reaches Domain Master Level, he will sigh about not reaching High-ranking Existence.

"No, even when I’ve reached Domain Lord Level, can I contend with strong Domain Masters like the Insect Clan Queen? I don’t think so, probably still have to endure as a grandson for a while, thinking this way, the future seems bleak and gloomy."

Jia Yan forced himself not to overthink, following the Queen’s stream of light, quickly transforming into a beam of light, and the huge silhouette of the Giant Mosquito instantly rushed into the Energy Circle.

"Wow, so fast, this Jia Yan has reached such mastery!"

"This speed is much faster than an average Mid-level Galaxy Existence, I’ve heard he isn’t a speed-type existence in normal Space, so his other Power..."

"We thought we made notable progress recently, yet Jia Yan, being out there alone, progressed even more than we imagined..."

"Forget it, in the future, let’s not interfere in matters concerning Jia Yan and the black sheep, this is a contest between two deities."

A group of Galaxy Level beings observing the scene from the shadows each revealed shades of slight amazement.

Jia Yan’s Power, previously, everyone didn’t think it was extraordinary, at most just a Talent-based existence with promising prospects.

But by now, Jia Yan has reached Mid-level Star River, even if he himself is merely at the initial grade within that classification, compared to other knowledgeable Galaxy Level beings, his Power has truly undergone a tremendous change.

If it were in the past, if any conflict arose between Jia Yan and the black sheep, everyone would undoubtedly side with the black sheep without question. Because when it comes to Power and speech influence, all lies with the black sheep; they certainly knew how to choose.

But now it’s different, Jia Yan’s personal Power has already reached Mid-level Galaxy, even if by appearances, it still seems somewhat lacking compared to the black sheep. But judging by Jia Yan’s previous stance nearly getting into a fight with the black sheep, he seems confident about surviving combat with the black sheep, making things somewhat different...

Many spectators believe it’s best not to involve themselves in the contest between Jia Yan and the black sheep.

Biological entities outside discuss and view Jia Yan however they wish, but he doesn’t care.

Anyway, this return was partly with a desire for recognition, being viewed like this by others, Jia Yan feels quite satisfied.

Previously within this Energy Circle, he felt quite oppressed.

Following the Insect Clan Queen and rushing into the Energy Circle, he found himself amazed along the way.

The surrounding environment differed naturally from when he left.

For instance, comparing planets, there are far more planets now than during prior flight, at least in Jia Yan’s view, he sees some Galaxy Level beings surprisingly owning two planets as their territory.

All transported from outside.

Clearly, now with increased Space, satisfying such simple demands, the Insect Clan Queen has been permissive.

As for the palace...

Jia Yan glanced at the grand palace in the distance, not noticing any change, which made sense, unlike planets, palaces aren’t changed at whim.

After entering the palace, the scene resembles how it was before.

Upon reaching the central point of the main hall, Jia Yan felt a growing sense of familiarity, because he previously lived there, constantly listening to the Queen’s teachings and guidance.

"Alright, Jia Yan, speak up, during this year or two, what have you experienced outside?"

The Insect Clan Queen went to her old spot in the main hall, quietly lying down, surveying Jia Yan who followed her inside.

Jia Yan looked around, finding no other beings; the palace being empty feels notably colder compared to before.

"It was like this. Initially wanting to ascend, I ventured outside, and after starting to enhance my Power, two Mid-level Galaxy beings came to find me..."

Without much ado, Jia Yan starts recounting: after leaving from the Energy Circle, during his strength upgrade, two Mid-level Galaxy beings ambushed him, Jia Yan managed to retaliate, leading to the appearance of a Domain Master, and narrowly escaping death while fleeing the pursuit around the Central Starfield of the Milky Way.

During recounting, he wasn’t too specific about his mutation, merely mentioning the need to adjust to his Power, explaining why he didn’t return right after escaping at first.

Even during the return journey, allegedly encountering another Domain Master’s ambush, narrowly escaping death once more.

After finishing, Jia Yan refrained from speaking further.

During this time, the Insect Clan Queen rarely interrupted, only occasionally asking questions at critical points.

Clearly, from initial disbelief, the Queen gradually grew inclined to believe Jia Yan’s truthful narrations.

After quite a while, the Insect Clan Queen nodded.

"If things are truly as you describe, then you’ve endured quite a bit. I will send someone to investigate; this matter is significant, probably scandalous within that Starry Sky. If my inquiry doesn’t match your account, Jia Yan, you know the consequences. But if true, feel free to seek me for rewards or compensations in the future, how about that?"
