Capítulo 2048: Chapter 785: Sinister Intentions (Part 2)
The Solar System is currently unsafe with the presence of the Ape Tribe’s flagship, and Yan Fei simply doesn’t dare to return there. But here at Dreamland Cave World, there’s a confrontation with the cultivators; if these cultivators decide to attack Dreamland Cave World, then it will become very dangerous. In other words, unwittingly, Yan Fei has started facing threats from two powerful enemies simultaneously, and if handled improperly, the forces represented by Yan Fei on Dream Island will be completely annihilated.
Although Yan Fei is the master of Dreamland Cave World and has substantially developed it, he knows deep down that this Cave Heaven Paradise was actually picked up by him on Earth, and its true owners are those cultivators outside. From the fact that these cultivators started attacking the Dreamland Cave World Space Crystal Wall as soon as they appeared here, it’s evident that they have grievances about their Cave Heaven Paradise being taken and wouldn’t attack without saying anything.
The cultivators are exchanging thoughts through their divine sense, and soon they sense the consciousness of Yan Fei on the Space Crystal Wall, and a cultivator immediately uses the divine sense to communicate with Yan Fei. This type of exchange belongs to communication between divine senses and requires no understanding of each other’s languages to naturally comprehend.
The cultivator said: “Fellow Daoist, I am the Carefree Wanderer of the Cultivation Civilization. The Cave Heaven Paradise you occupy was crafted by our Cultivation Civilization and rightfully belongs to us. At the time, due to an emergency, we couldn’t activate it, and then you obtained it. Now that the rightful owner of the Cave Heaven Paradise has returned, please leave our Cave Heaven Paradise and return it to us.”
Yan Fei’s worst fear has finally arrived, which is that the true owners of Dreamland Cave World have come to reclaim it. But Dreamland Cave World is Yan Fei’s last refuge, concerning the life and death of a billion Earth humans, and even if its original owner has returned, Yan Fei would absolutely not hand Dreamland Cave World back to anyone else. Otherwise, Earth humans would have no hope.
Yan Fei chuckled heartily without introducing himself, and said: “Senior, this Cave Heaven Paradise was birthed by the Universe, and fundamentally has no owner. Getting it was my opportunity and has no connection to your Cultivation Civilization.”
The cultivator named Carefree Wanderer did not get angry and said further: “Fellow Daoist, whether this Cave Heaven Paradise was crafted by our Cultivation Civilization, I believe you are aware of it, and I am not going to dwell on that issue. I know it’s impossible for you to hand over the Cave Heaven Paradise without reason, how about we make a trade instead? I am aware that your Stellar System outside is currently facing an alien invasion. If you are willing to return the Cave Heaven Paradise to us, our Cultivation Civilization can help you annihilate those alien invaders. What do you think of my proposal?”
Upon hearing Carefree Wanderer’s trade proposal, Yan Fei was surprisingly tempted. His current strength is limited, and neither the Ape Tribe flagship within the Solar System nor the cultivators outside Dreamland Cave World are opponents he can handle now. He and the Ape Tribe have deep enmity, which is absolutely irreconcilable, while these cultivators, to this point, have no conflict with him; they are not enemies yet. He can fully leverage the cultivators to help eliminate the Ape Tribe flagship, even to destroy the entire Ape Tribe Empire itself. In doing so, he not only makes an ally of a mighty race, but also resolves the Ape Tribe threat he faces.
Losing Dreamland Cave World poses some trouble, but once he passes the hurdle of the Ape Tribe Empire, the strength of Dream Island is believed to receive a significant boost, attaining a certain degree of self-defense in the Universe, ensuring safety even without Dreamland Cave World.
As for how these cultivators know the Solar System is currently facing an alien invasion, Yan Fei did not think much about it. Given that cultivators possess unusually strong individual power and can have all kinds of incredible capabilities, it’s normal for them to know certain things happening within the Solar System. Moreover, Yan Fei had long suspected that the spatial coordinates of the Solar System were leaked to the Ape Tribe by the cultivators, leading the Ape Tribe here at the behest of the cultivators. The cultivators’ intent was likely to use the Ape Tribe to pressure Yan Fei into surrendering Dreamland Cave World to them; otherwise, why would the cultivators appear right after the Ape Tribe did?
Yan Fei immediately figured out the serious implications, and he said: “Since you know that the external Stellar System I was at is currently facing alien invasion, you should also know I have moved all personnel into Cave Heaven Paradise; we have nowhere else to go. Without obtaining a new safe location, we cannot hand this place over to you. But if you can first help me eliminate the invaders outside, once we have a place to settle, I will make sure to evacuate all personnel, leaving this Cave Heaven Paradise to you.”
Carefree Wanderer replied: “Fellow Daoist, our ability to find this Cave Heaven Paradise is entirely due to it being crafted by us; hence we know some of its basic data. But even so, it took us several tens of thousands of years of calculation to finally ascertain its spatial coordinates to locate here.”
“Though we are standing here, we are in fact an infinite distance away from your Stellar System; we cannot appear instantly within your Stellar System. You must first lift the restrictions on the Cave Heaven Paradise Space Crystal Wall to let us enter inside. Subsequently, open the external space channel of the Cave Heaven Paradise, allowing us to transport through this space channel to the star domain outside and eliminate the enemies invading your Stellar System.”
