Chapter 231： End of Temptation and Homecoming
Chapter 231 The end of the temptation and going home
"run!"
When you can see a super psyker, it means that there will be a group of super psykers coming soon.
His operation in this wave directly abolished one of the three major food supply bases of the Bruvan United. This is estimated to be the biggest loss suffered since the establishment of the eastern core fortress, and it will definitely lead to a crazy blow from the Bruvan United.
Even the eastern core fortress will focus on it, and a few super psykers will be dispatched to search.
Although nothing was found, at least the strategic goal has been achieved.
With one jump, Li Qing has already left this galaxy that has begun to distort.
With the disappearance of the star core, the remaining mass of the star is no longer enough to maintain the original gravitational field, and the collapse of the galaxy is inevitable.
As the galaxy collapses, everything that depends on the galaxy will also disappear.
For example, wormholes, such as hyperspace channels, etc. will disappear.
That is to say, the channel transiting through this galaxy will disappear in the near future, and this road will disappear in the future, unless the transition is over, the normal way through the wormhole to enter the hyperspace channel and across two galaxies is gone. It will greatly affect the overall strategy of the eastern core fortress.
In the peaceful era, it may not have much impact. After all, even merchant ships will jump now, but in the war era, when the battle is fierce, the human side will definitely send a small fleet to pass through the defense line and enter the interior of the defense line, and temporarily arrange it in the star field near the eastern core fortress. Various jamming and interception systems.
Normal logistics ships and non-main fleets have low jump penetration capabilities. Faced with various interference and interception systems, they cannot jump and can only sail normally. At this time, the main channel is cut off, which is very fatal.
This wave of operations made Li Qing see the possibility of taking down the Bruwan United Fortress.
If you can’t fight head-on, you can completely destroy the important galaxies and intersections behind the eastern core fortress, so that their supplies and fleets cannot quickly support them, which is equivalent to providing assistance to the front line in disguise.
"You can do this!"
Li Qing nodded in his heart, and left the current galaxy with another psionic jump.
Didn\'t look back, it was just a random jump without a goal.
Anyway, the wave just now has achieved his strategic goal. When he came, he just wanted to try it out, and didn\'t think about breaking the core fortress.
Now that you have found a way, there is no need to stay where you are and take risks. Go back first, and come back next time when you are fully prepared.
However, the super psychic from Bruvan United seemed to be after him, and he chased him wherever he ran, and he hasn\'t lost it yet.
Li Qing traveled more than 2,000 light-years in one breath, and even rushed to the hinterland of the Bruwan Union, but he didn\'t get rid of it. He didn\'t know how he could hang behind.
Moreover, when he made another long-distance leap to a certain galaxy in the hinterland of the Bruvan Union, he sensed the aura of two super psykers behind him again after a while.
"You still call someone?"
Li Qing opened the star map, and it was pitch black. This place is deep in the hinterland of the Bruwan United Civilization. No human player has ever traveled so far, and he is the first one.
"Since you call people, don\'t blame me for shaking people too!"
Li Qing stopped in an unknown galaxy, stepped on a meteorite floating in the void, closed his eyes and remained motionless.
A few minutes later, two circles of distortion suddenly appeared in the starry sky hundreds of kilometers away from the meteorite. In the next second, two groups of clear light exploded, revealing two figures shrouded in powerful distortion, and quickly separated one left and one right to surround him .
The two saw Li Qing with his eyes closed and motionless, and looked around vigilantly, but didn\'t notice anything unusual. The one-eyed Bruwan Psychic Master on the left had a fierce look in his eyes and shouted:
"Human, you are dead!"
Although the other Bluwan psionic master didn\'t speak, he was moving his position to block his escape direction.
The so-called psionic masters are the super psychics of the Bruwan United Civilization, who are honored as masters in their civilization.
According to Li Qing\'s perception, the strength of these two super psykers is about 30 million, which is comparable to his own, and the other is over 10 million. Although far weaker than him, there is already a super psychic who is comparable to him When the able person holds back, it is normally the straw that breaks the camel\'s back.
But that refers to the normal situation, and Li Qing definitely cannot count it as normal.
However, he did not immediately summon the servants of light, he wanted to test his current strength.
After being promoted to a super psychic for so long, he hasn\'t had a serious fight with other super psykers. It just so happens that the strength of these two super psykers is not much different from his own.
Without any nonsense, the one-eyed psychic master raised his hands, and the tens of thousands of kilometers of void with him as the center suddenly filled the sky with thunder, turning into a thunder field with a diameter of more than 10,000 kilometers. Countless lightning exploded in it. Stretching out his hands to grasp, the sky filled with thunder gathered at his hands to form a dazzling thunder spear, aiming at Li Qing with a fierce throw.
Almost instantly, Li Qing knew that this thunder javelin was bound to hit and could not be dodged.
There was no movement at all. A layer of golden light appeared around him, forming a huge golden light ball. The lightning javelin almost instantly hit the protective light ball and exploded, turning into a sea of thunder covering thousands of kilometers.
The other super psychic also put his hands together and pulled, and a ball of golden light condensed into a move, turning into a thick golden chain and flying out, hitting Li Qing and nailing it into the ball of light. The golden chain held Li Qing back.
Seeing this, the other one-eyed psionic master disappeared in a flash, and reappeared in front of Li Qing, who was already locked and unable to escape. The strong psionic energy in the one-eyed pupil exploded, and a strong distortion shot out from the one-eyed eye, hitting him in an instant. With Li Qing\'s forehead, he immediately stood motionless with his eyelids down.
Another super psychic saw that the golden chain in his hand disappeared, and he jumped behind Li Qing in a flash. He slapped and twitched his forehead with both hands, and the space between his eyebrows twisted violently. A psychic dagger invisible to the naked eye Slowly withdraw from the brow.
As if feeling the crisis, Li Qing\'s eyelids trembled violently, but the strength of the one-eyed psionic master\'s psionic power was not much different from his, and he was rigidly fixed and unable to move.
Just ten seconds later, another psionic master\'s dagger with strong psychic energy constantly exploding between his brows was drawn out. He grabbed the dagger and aimed it at the back of Li Qing\'s head, until he missed it.
"Boom!"
The indescribable psychic energy exploded, and the psychic dagger submerged in his brain collapsed inch by inch, and the unimaginably powerful psychic energy exploded from Li Qing\'s body, blasting away the two Bruwan psionic masters.
"Withdraw!"
The two men looked at each other in horror, their figures disappeared in a flash, and it was a hundred miles away to reappear.
After several flashes in a row, the person has disappeared.
At this time, Li Qing opened his eyes, and the door of the black hole behind him opened, and three figures shrouded in distorted golden light walked out from it.
"so close!"
Thinking of the situation just now, Li Qing showed a little palpitation.
Not at the same level of combat at all, the two psionic masters cooperated and almost killed him in less than half a minute.
If the dagger just now was replaced by another super psychic, it would still be severely injured. He also relied on being the master of the star negative, and he could borrow the power of other star negative to withstand it. If not, he probably had to GG just now. .
"No, I have to take the time to ask the old patriarch about fighting skills, the level is too low."
Abuse is definitely fine, but his combat level as a psyker is far behind other super psykers who have grown up through self-improvement.
If there is too much difference in spiritual power strength, you can naturally crush them without using skills, but it is impossible to always encounter someone worse than yourself.
He didn\'t chase, just as it was difficult for them to catch up with him, and it was also difficult for them to catch up if they wanted to escape.
And the current spiritual strength of his star-destroyers is not very strong, except for Cybertron, they are all at the level of more than 10 million.
The God General of Cybertron has been a three-stage mechanical ascension thousands of years ago, and his will itself is very powerful. After transforming into a star negative person, his spiritual energy will become very powerful due to the influence of his will, far more powerful than other star negative people. To be strong, it has already exceeded 30 million now, and it is still going up, and I don\'t know if it will rise to tens of millions before it stops.
It is worth mentioning that when a psychic ascender reaches the level of a super psychic user, he is already in the third phase of psychic ascension.
Leaving the galaxy quickly with his escort, he jumped thousands of light years before stopping, found a meteorite and dug a hole, opened the universe in his palm and walked in.
Immediately after he came in, he transformed Celestus into a negative star. He and Cybertron were at the same level. After being transformed into a negative star, his spiritual energy also increased at a super-fast speed. It is estimated that It can also reach tens of millions.
The unique ability of the Cybertronian general is the sublimated infinite freedom aura, and the unique ability of the general Cyrus is called the sublimated infinite reflection.
God General\'s unique ability: Sublimated Infinite Reflection, Cyrus\' will covers the entire galaxy, all warships under his command are not affected by any deceleration, interference and interception, acquired skill: Infinite Reflection.
Infinite Reflection: Use it actively, designate a target, and condense a reflection with 300% of the specified target\'s attributes. The reflection lasts for 1 month and can be canceled actively. There are up to five reflections at the same time.
There are basically no restrictions on this designated target, as long as it is a battleship, it can be as small as a frigate, or as large as a mobile battle star.
The lower limit is far from the upper limit.
It is definitely useless to make the reflection of a frigate, but if you make the reflection of a mobile battle star, five mobile battle stars reflect the reflection of 300% of all attributes, it is terrible.
After coming out of the universe in his palm, Li Qing embarked on his way home, jumping all the way south.
There is basically nothing to do now, and I don’t have the time and ability to do what I want to do. In addition, I have been wandering for so long. It is time to go back and deal with the territorial affairs. After killing the Shata United Tribe, then I can develop with peace of mind. Slow down Slowly put the focus here, trying to break through Bruwan\'s defense.
The joint stalemate between humans and Bruwan has been too long, and it has already affected the development of humans.
I don’t know the development of other player civilizations in the galaxy, but last time the Council of Elders found traces of other player civilizations north of the Bruwan Union, which is a warning sign.
Whether it is for civilization or for himself, he needs to make a contribution and find a way to solve the stumbling block of Bruvan\'s alliance.
As long as the Bruwan United Civilization can be destroyed, they will be able to eat enough to eat just the corpses.
The strength of this civilization is not inferior to that of human beings, and its territory is huge. If they can eat their corpses, the comprehensive strength of human civilization will definitely expand significantly in a short period of time.
With such a large territory and life planet, it is absolutely no problem to give birth to dozens or hundreds of military lords, and maybe one or two Star Sea Lords may be born.
As long as the Bruwan United Civilization is eaten, the stagnant development of human beings for thousands of years can be made up in a wave. It can definitely make up for the lack of development in these years and catch up with other player civilizations.
Going back is easy, a single super psyker is on his way, unless several stronger super psykers are ready to intercept him early, otherwise it will be difficult to catch him.
Cross the border and continue southward until returning to Shanhaiguan in one and a half months.
The second uncle saw him coming back and just asked him casually, but Li Qing said nothing.
Did not tell him the news that he would destroy one of the three major agricultural galaxies in the eastern fortress of Bruvan United.
Now that he has no time to continue, there is no point in telling him.
Next, he bought all kinds of things wantonly here, and recruited the captains and senior crew needed by the four divisions, plus the previously recruited one, a total of five, and kept them in the palm of the universe for future use.
At this time, the No. 23 warehouse area of Palm Universe has already been transformed into a ground force military area, and they can also be allowed to stay temporarily.
In addition, he also purchased a large number of machinery and equipment needed for infrastructure construction, various industrial product production lines, and some materials related to territory construction.
Of course, the most important thing is money.
He took out a refined steel sphere, removed a small part from it, split it into shares of different sizes, and sold them in batches to different large chambers of commerce, including a large part to the Shanhaiguan Fortress military.
This small part is only 100 billion billion cubic meters, 390 star yuan per square, 3.9 billion billion star yuan in total.
This made Li Qing feel a little speechless, when would he have too many resources to sell.
With so much refined steel, it will definitely impact the refined steel market greatly, and it cannot be sold, nor dare to sell it.
"Give one to the family, and one to the husband\'s family!"
If you can’t sell it for money, you can only use it to barter or return favors. The family and the Jinmen Yu family have helped me so much, so it’s not too much to give one.
Of course, it was split up, and it was impossible to send the whole one, otherwise it would be difficult to make excuses.
He even thought about the reason, and dug a grave to find a material warehouse left over from ancient civilization, which contained a large amount of refined steel.
This reason is really not nonsense. In reality, many players dig graves into the treasure house of ancient civilizations, but they are not as outrageous as him.
It took two months to prepare, Li Qing bid farewell to the second uncle, and sent a letter to His Royal Highness Xiao Bieli, asking him to send the fleet directly to Jialan, so that he would not pick it up himself.
One day, an **** ship quietly left Shanhaiguan and disappeared into the vast sea of stars.
