Chapter 1745: Chapter 43: Deception! [Seeking Official Subscription]

“Indeed you escaped, so what use is there for your avatar to remain here? Do you think just by leaving your avatar, we’re not going to annihilate the White Seed Star?”

Wu Da’s expression was indifferent, as if their conversation already determined the life and death of the organisms from the White Seed Star.

Of course, for stellar-level organisms, ordinary cosmic creatures, as long as they haven’t signed any security agreements, they can kill whenever they want. After all, everyone’s species is different; not signing now is like stepping on ants by the roadside, why feel guilty?

“Ha, Senior, don’t be upset. I left my avatar here to discuss some cooperation terms with you.”

Jia Yan’s avatar said calmly.

“What? You’re being hunted by us, and still talk about cooperation, how utterly clueless.”

The stellar beings beside Wu Da felt incredulous. This Jia Yan truly defied their expectations, being pursued by so many stellar-level beings, yet still daring to talk about cooperation.

“That’s right, Senior, let’s talk cooperation. You know, within the White Seed Star System, there is a nest of the Space Ghosts. You must know these creatures are beneficial to stellar-level beings. Although I’m being hunted by you, I am unwilling to give up the Ghost’s Blood. Without my guidance, you can’t possibly find the location of the Space Ghosts in this enormous system. How about we cooperate to maximize benefit?”

Jia Yan’s avatar spoke without revealing any emotion.

Originally, such cooperation was impossible, after all, his strength differed greatly from theirs. If he merely pointed out the location of the Space Ghosts, they could easily obliterate his avatar, leaving nothing to cooperate with.

But at this moment, using such words to deceive the group of stellar-level beings and stall for time was worthwhile.

“Space Ghosts? I do know about them. But Jia Yan, do you think I’ll believe your words…” Wu Da seemed somewhat moved by the mention of Space Ghosts, since the effect of the Ghost’s Blood was beneficial even to him.

Yet he didn’t trust Jia Yan to genuinely cooperate easily with them; moreover, although beneficial, the Ghost’s Blood wasn’t greatly advantageous to him.

“Lord, the Ghost’s Blood effects are indeed good for us early-stage stellar-level beings. Perhaps it would be worth asking.”

Beside Wu Da, the Golden Domain Giant Turtle suddenly showed a strong desire for the Ghost’s Blood.

A group of other stellar beings displayed similar attitudes, Wu Da noticed something amiss, but didn’t ponder it deeply. After all, what tricks could Jia Yan possibly pull?

“Jia Yan, tell us, what exactly is our cooperation process, aren’t you afraid that when we know the location of the Ghost’s Blood, we’ll kill you?”

“Dare I propose such a cooperation plan, I naturally have a backup plan. Senior, you needn’t worry about me.” Jia Yan shook his head lightly.

He knew further questioning would surely expose him, so he pretended to be mysterious.

“Almost there, almost there…”

If the group of stellar beings could see the starry sky around them at this moment, they would surely realize the entire sky was enveloped by a dense mass of Space Ghosts, reaching the extreme of their disbelief.

Of course, even though there were many Space Ghosts, they couldn’t possibly surround all the space around the White Seed Star; currently, they only formed a web of Space Ghosts within a few hundred kilometers around this group of stellar beings.

Jia Yan felt extremely pleased with the progress, exhaling deeply as he looked at the Space Ghosts that had been chasing him for a long time.

It must be known that leading such a large mass of Space Ghosts took energy even more than flying because he had to ensure the stellar-level beings didn’t notice; he had to keep the right distance—too close wouldn’t work, too far wouldn’t achieve the encircling effect—driving him to exhaustion.

Luckily, the progress was almost complete, and the weary Jia Yan felt a flicker of joy.

“Do your best and leave the rest to fate; whether it works out or not depends on luck.”

Jia Yan understood that whether the Space Ghosts would be effective or significantly impactful, or move as he expected, would determine the success of his simple plan.

To think of such a plan in such a short time was commendable. Whether luck was on his side was indeed a matter of fate.

“Alright, Jia Yan, tell us how exactly we’ll cooperate.”

Wu Da couldn’t ignore the wishes of the stellar-level subordinates he led, especially with allies from the West Union being present; it wouldn’t be appropriate to disregard their goodwill.

As he spoke those words, Jia Yan’s avatar, from a distance, was already smiling slightly.

“What’s this? Jia Yan, if you’re sincere in cooperating, state your terms, even if it means we’ll refrain from pursuing you for a while.”

A stellar being beside Wu Da perhaps eyed the Ghost’s Blood too eagerly, speaking instead of Wu Da.

Wu Da’s expression shifted momentarily. Fortunately, he hadn’t forgotten they were in the midst of a battle, so he suppressed his urge to explode in anger, keeping silent.

“Senior Wu Da, does his word count?” On the other side, Jia Yan was anxious for an excuse to speak more and quickly seized the opportunity to ask Wu Da.

“It counts; tell us the cooperation method you want.”

Wu Da sighed helplessly and nodded to Jia Yan.

Regardless, Jia Yan’s real body had escaped; even cooperating with his avatar for the benefit of the subordinates was feasible.

Perhaps through this avatar, they might find clues to Jia Yan’s real body, who knows.

Jia Yan’s avatar didn’t hurry; the longer the delay, the better chance he had.

And just when both parties reached a certain level of negotiation.

“Jia Yan, stop playing games. Reveal your cooperation plan now, or we’ll attack.”

One of the stellar beings couldn’t tolerate Jia Yan’s delay any longer, even feeling a vague sense of unease.

Other stellar creatures, including Wu Da, also felt similar at this moment; they realized that Jia Yan’s avatar was unlike the original Jia Yan who attacked them without a word, trying to chat with them endlessly.

Could it be that his true body hasn’t escaped far and is now stalling for time, making it impossible for them to catch him?

That can’t be right, though. They’ve seen the speed of the subspace talent before. Even if Jia Yan has escaped further away, or even if he’s escaping right in front of them now, if they don’t have the correct method, there’s no way they can catch him.

“Ha, everyone, you are truly impatient. Since you are so eager to meet that space ghost…”

Jia Yan’s avatar shook his head.

Anyway, that space ghost has almost completed its leadership.

“Then let me show it to you!”

He shouted loudly.

With his shout, about five hundred kilometers away from the group of stellar creatures, a subspace crevice suddenly appeared.

A gigantic shadow of a creature suddenly flew out from within this space.

“What? It’s Jia Yan! He didn’t flee!?”

“Just in time, he’s so close, let’s destroy him!”

“Don’t even think about escaping!”

As soon as the stellar creatures saw Jia Yan, their first thought was almost unanimously to capture him.

They must know that this evolutionary creature is their ultimate goal. If they can kill him, never mind a little ghost’s blood, even more important things, the Stellar Academy would be willing to provide to them.

However, Senior Wuda’s expression changed the moment he saw Jia Yan.

“Be careful, don’t approach yet!”

He shouted at the stellar creatures beside him.

But it was too late; only five hundred kilometers away, the fast stellar creatures had already rushed to Jia Yan in an instant.

The Giant Mosquito’s massive compound eyes flickered with brilliance.

“Jia Yan, meet your death!”

One stellar creature had an enormous speed advantage. Yesterday, he regretted not being the first to strike; otherwise, Jia Yan wouldn’t have caused so much damage to their comrades’ battleships.

So today, he was the first to strike, even faster than the other stellar creatures, surpassing their speed by more than half.

“Hmph, such a fast stellar creature.”

Even Jia Yan was momentarily surprised by this creature’s speed, realizing that in normal space, he was considered fast, but he probably couldn’t match this creature.

But this astonishment was only momentary; after an instant, his expression turned cold again.

“Die? I won’t die, the one who should die is…”

“It’s you!”

As Jia Yan spoke these words, suddenly, from the subspace beside Jia Yan, a white creature’s foot stabbed toward the two large creatures!

“Eh, why is there still a subspace creature here?”

“Is it Jia Yan’s accomplice? That’s not possible; isn’t he a creature from the Genius Battlefield? Why does he also have friends here?”

The stellar creatures trailing behind all had their expressions changed.

But what shocked them even more was the situation that followed.

Countless subspace openings suddenly tore open as they got closer to Jia Yan’s real body. Countless strange creatures, resembling both machinery and life, big and small, surged like a swarm of bees from the subspace toward any stellar expert present.

“What? Why are there so many similar creatures, what on earth is this…”

The stellar strong ones from the Stellar Academy felt like they were dreaming at that moment; they had never seen so many assailants suddenly attacking from subspace.

However, the stellar creatures from the West Union were different.

They were extremely familiar with space ghosts, and almost conflicted with the White Seed Star over this specialty before.

“What? These are space ghosts!? With such a huge quantity, and there are even stellar-level individuals, this is…”

A group of creatures from the West Union were greatly shocked.

“I had no idea the White Seed Star’s space ghost species had reached such levels, and now they’re controlled by Jia Yan?”

“No, they’re attacking Jia Yan too, but that’s only a small part; more of them are coming toward us, be careful!”

The creatures of the West Union almost instantly issued warning sounds to the surrounding creatures.

“Ha, taste the power of the starry sky ghost army.”
