467: Galaxy-level divine body

Tian Ming looked coldly at Polayev, his eyes gleaming with a dangerous light. He knew that these God-level Civilization observers always liked to play with words to evade responsibility.

"Permission? When did Bai Yiming ever give you permission?" Tian Ming's tone already carried a hint of slight anger.

Polayev's body trembled. He could feel Tian Ming's anger and majesty.

"Lord Yuanchu, please calm your anger. We truly mean no harm; we just wanted to observe the potential of human civilization. The creativity of human civilization is indeed different from other civilizations. Without Lord Yuanchu's intervention, they were able to create a Star River Grade Divine Body. Although luck played a significant role, it also shows that human civilization has infinite potential," Polayev quickly flattered him.

Tian Ming's brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this.

"Speak directly; don't beat around the bush with me."

Polayev nodded slightly and continued, "Mr. Bai Yiming's consciousness is firm, but it also suffered severe damage under such high-intensity torture. With humanity's current technology, it's difficult to heal this kind of damage. Once the consciousness damage flares up, Mr. Bai might lose all reason and turn into a slaughtering machine. My Crystal Energy Civilization is good at repairing consciousness damage, and this energy armor is my gift to human civilization."

Tian Ming's gaze was like a torch, fixed on Polayev. The Crystal Energy Civilization's action was undoubtedly to curry favor with human civilization, but to say it had no purpose was absolutely impossible.

A Star River Grade Divine Body already possesses the ability to directly absorb stellar energy. Once it truly matures, its value to a God-level Civilization is immeasurable.

Tian Ming understood in his heart that the Crystal Energy Civilization's move was undoubtedly to directly pick the peach, allowing Bai Yiming to serve the Crystal Energy Civilization.

"Hmph, your so-called gift, it wouldn't be a deed of sale, would it?" Tian Ming's tone was icy, the warning self-evident.

Polayev respectfully nodded, "Lord Yuanchu, please rest assured. After Mr. Bai's consciousness damage recovers, whether he stays or leaves, he can decide for himself. We will never interfere. Mr. Bai's current physique is too strong compared to the current human civilization. If he returns, I'm afraid it won't have a positive effect on the progress of civilization."

Tian Ming fell into contemplation. His departure from the space city was also due to his consideration that his abilities were like pulling up seedlings to help them grow for civilization. So he had said that unless humanity faced a life-or-death situation, he would not return.

Xiao Xiao herself was a demigod body. When sending Xiao Xiao back, he also considered providing a guarantee for the development of civilization. Furthermore, Xiao Xiao herself liked the kind of life in the human world.

After a moment of silence, Tian Ming looked at the Crystal Energy Civilization's chief observer and said, "Don't play tricks. After he recovers, if you try to force him to join you by exploiting his gratitude, you should know what the consequences will be."

Polayev felt the coldness and threat in Tian Ming's words, and his body trembled again. He knew that as an existence like Lord Yuanchu, once he got angry, the entire Crystal Energy Civilization could suffer annihilation.

"Lord Yuanchu, please rest assured. We would never dare to deceive or coerce in any way. Mr. Bai Yiming's departure or stay is entirely up to his own will," Polayev quickly explained, his tone filled with reverence and sincerity.

"Just remember what you said today."

Polayev nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Lord Yuanchu."

Tian Ming's figure slowly dissipated. At this moment, the phantom of Tian Ming, who was in the space city Laboratory, slowly opened his eyes.

Xiao Xiao saw her father open his eyes and quickly stood up.

"Dad, how is it? Did you find Yiming?" Xiao Xiao asked.

Tian Ming looked at his daughter's worried face and sighed inwardly. Indeed, a daughter grows up and leaves home.

"Found him. He's fine."

"Where is he?" Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked.

"Xiao Xiao, didn't you say you wouldn't fall in love? Why are you so concerned about that brat? Although the modification was successful, it left hidden dangers, and there's still a big gap between him and you. He's still not worthy of you." Tian Ming's tone carried a hint of displeasure.

Xiao Xiao was stunned, a little flustered by her father's sudden questioning. She quickly explained, "Dad, what are you talking about? I'm just concerned about his safety as a friend, nothing else."

Tian Ming looked at his daughter's flustered appearance. She clearly cared a lot but refused to admit it.

Tian Ming's tone softened a bit and he said, "After he eliminates the hidden dangers, he will come back to find you. If he doesn't come back, then such a person isn't worth you thinking about so much. Do your own things well, and don't forget the task I gave you."

A trace of sadness flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes. Her father still hadn't told her where Bai Yiming was, but she didn't press further.

"I know, Dad!"

"Mm, that's all for now!" As soon as Tian Ming finished speaking, the phantom slowly disappeared.

In the Laboratory, Xiao Xiao stood alone, her heart a mix of emotions. She knew her father's intentions; on one hand, he was testing her feelings for Bai Yiming, and on the other, he was reminding her not to forget her responsibilities and mission.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Xiao cast aside the distracting thoughts in her mind and turned to leave the Laboratory.

......

Xiao Xiao did not return to Blue Star but stayed in the space city. It wasn't until three days later, when the news of the second Star Plan modifier's failure came, that the space city's management, especially Bai Yan, couldn't sit still.

"Xiao Xiao, can you talk to me?" Bai Yan's voice was transmitted to Xiao Xiao's ears through Number Three.

The management also tried to contact Tian Ming, but Tian Ming refused the space city's communication request. After Bai Yiming disappeared, only Xiao Xiao in the entire space city could contact Tian Ming.

"Uncle Bai, is there something?" Xiao Xiao asked.

"It's about Yiming. He is my son, after all, and I want to know something about his situation. He was the only one who succeeded in the Star Plan. Currently, the second experimenter couldn't hold on, and his consciousness has dissipated."

Xiao Xiao was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Bai Yan to take the initiative to contact her and ask about Bai Yiming.

She understood in her heart that Bai Yiming's safety was equally important to Bai Yan, especially at this critical moment. The failure of the second Star Plan experimenter undoubtedly cast a shadow over the entire space city.

"Uncle Bai, I don't know much about Yiming. Father didn't tell me much about Yiming. This kind of space warrior modification has huge hidden dangers, and our current human technology cannot solve them."

"Then... should the Star Plan continue...?" Bai Yan asked tentatively.

"Pause it. Let's still follow the conventional civilization development process. Humanity hasn't even fully mastered stellar energy yet. It's impossible to try to reach the sky in one step and create God Body level warriors. Yiming's situation was just a blind cat hitting a dead mouse."

Bai Yan was stunned for a long time after hearing this. He slowly sighed and said, "All right, I'll report to the General Administration and suspend the Star Space Warrior project."
