Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler
chapter-390

Hearing Kaina's positive reply, Arum Nok trembled in excitement as he had gotten trapped in this god-forsaken place for an entire year. He missed his family and homeland.

Arum Nok suppressed his excitement and said, "First, can you get my Space Shuttle out of the asteroid belt? This place is known as a cemetery for interstellar travels."

"Give me your coordinates." Dr. Wei fixed his glasses and said.

Arum Nok nodded and answered the question, which Dr. Wei preceded by sending some drones to the area. But soon, everyone discovered a weird phenomenon.

The space-time energy around the asteroid belt isn't stable. The drones couldn't approach it and got riled like a weightless leaf in a flowing river instead.

Fascinated by this phenomenon, Dr. Wei activated the deep scan with the help of Alice(AI) and did some quick calculations to find a weak point in the space-time field.

Arum Nok waited patiently, knowing these people were his greatest hope to exit this place. He glanced at the crews in the control room and was surprised to see they were humans.

Since Arum Nok didn't pay attention before due to being too happy, he failed to realize this.

Humans.

They aren't a unique race in this vast universe. On the contrary, many human civilizations spread all over the galaxy.

Not to mention, they are tenacious, creative, fast-learner, compassionate, and above all wicked. There is a saying not to underestimate human wickedness as it could bite one on the back later.

Although humans are generally weak, several records said their greatness of reaching godhood. Even the Odd-Eyed Race doesn't have people who attained such a high stage, except their ancestors.

Arum Nok tried to gauge these humans' strength out of curiosity and immediately frowned.

He couldn't sense anything.

'Did they cultivate a different system than the standard of Interstellar Race?' Arum Nok pondered, finding this situation quite bizarre.

Now that he thought about it. Wasn't the spaceship these humans used high-end?

The more Arum Nok brooded about it, the more dizzy he became.

"Um, may I ask something?" He opened his mouth with hesitation.

"Go on," Kaina responded calmly, crossing her arms below her chest.

Arum Nok heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Where did you humans come from?"

Kai Chisaki raised his eyebrow slightly and glanced at Kaina, wondering the answer she'd give this red-skinned, elven-like fellow.

Since the headquarters ordered them to stay vigilant but open, they should create an ambient relationship. Kaina wouldn't lie. Still, the information she gives will be only the surface level.

With that in mind, Kaina Tsutsumi smiled slightly and answered, "We are from a galaxy far away. Outside of Dream Beast Galaxy."

"Eh?" Arum Nok was startled by this news. To think they weren't humans native to the Dream Beast Galaxy.

It was a huge surprise.

As far as Arum Nok knew, five galaxies stayed near the Dream Beast Galaxy. Black Turtle Galaxy, Star-Collecting Galaxy, Dawnbreak Galaxy, Nine Serene Galaxy, and Ocean Governing Galaxy.

The Black Turtle Galaxy is the nearest. And the Ocean Governing Galaxy is the farthest.

Arum Nok wanted to make a guess, but he didn't dare to.

Unknown always led to blessing or disaster. And Arum Nok isn't a typical person who likes to gamble.

Ironically, he gambled with the distress signal, which ended him in this situation.

If Arum Nok knew the Exploration Team had traveled several galaxies in a month to reach Dream Beast Galaxy, he'd be scared shitless. Such a speed is beyond comprehension.

Even Deity-Level Star Cultivators aren't that fast.

They exchanged some information about here and there, waiting for Dr. Wei's calculation.

Kaina acted calm outside, but she was excited inside because she finally discovered a valuable piece of information from Arum Nok.

The people outside of Douluo Galaxy don't cultivate Spirit Energy, nor do they cultivate Spirit Master Systems. Fortunately, there are still some similarities.

Most rely on Star Energy from vast space and become Star Cultivators.

Besides the energy used in cultivation, they replaced the need for Spirit Rings by using Space Beasts' Core. Each level is stuck at 10, 20, and 30 and goes on and needs Space Beasts' Core to become stronger.

The Beast's Core provided them with "Star Energy." and "Star Talent." Space Beasts absorbed and concentrated for who knows how long.

Kaina used telepathy and ordered some people to do more autopsy on Space Beasts' Corpse.

Arum Nok patted his chest and reminded, "Ah, I forgot to tell you that only certain Space Beasts possess Beast's Core."

"Usually, the ones with Beast's Core have a mark on their body."

"White, Yellow, Purple, Black, and Red."

"..." Kaina and others.

It is very similar!

Nevertheless, it arouses their curiosity as to whether the Star Master is more powerful than the Spirit Master or not.

One cultivated the power from the descendant of the Divine Beast blessed by the universe's law itself.

The other cultivated the power from the Space Beasts neglected by the universal law.

Unfortunately, they didn't have Gu Yuena on their side, as she could explain the difference.

Space Beasts appeared stronger than Spirit Beasts because they could roam in space freely and possess bizarre abilities. However, due to their lack of wisdom and purity, the Star Master's energy is way more polluted than the Spirit Master's.

Spirit Energy from the right environment and Spirit Beasts with a strong bloodline will lead to the Spirit Master's advancement smoother, allowing them to grasp divinity better.

It's like filling two containers with similar but different liquids. One is clean, and the other is polluted.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to each system. Yet that's for later.

"Done." Dr. Wei cracked the space-time field near the asteroid belt.

Everyone watched with anticipation, seeing the drones float toward a rhombus-shaped Space Shuttle. It was mainly black-colored with gold and white accents.

The drones successfully landed on the Space Shuttle and tied chains around it carefully, pulling it slowly to the Fraxinus.

The Space Shuttle arrived at the Garage/Workshop, and the door opened slowly, revealing Arum Nok.

He's over two meters tall, white-haired, black-eyed, long-eared, and wears a black suit with a red cape. It's an interesting fashion choice.

Kaina entered the workshop and walked to the Space Shuttle, "Welcome to the Fraxinus."

"No, no, I'm thankful for your help." Arum Nok hurriedly bowed, showing his sincerity. "Without your help, I'd never be able to get out of that hideous place."

"I, Arum Nok, the Odd-Eyed Race's Clansmen from Dream God Planet, am extremely grateful."

Kaina shook her head gently and responded, "Let's talk elsewhere."

"Oh, you can leave the Space Shuttle's Design to our Engineer so they could fix it."

"Will do." Arum Nok nodded in understanding. He wasn't afraid for these humans to steal his Space Shuttle's design, considering they had this grand spaceship.

Kaina led Arum Nok to the empty meeting room and told him to sit on any chair. "Are you hungry or perhaps thirsty?" The woman known as Lady Nagant asked calmly.

Arum Nok refused, "No, but thanks."

"I got trapped for one year, but thankfully... I packed enough ration before going out."

Kaina giggled helplessly, "Well, that's a shame. I wanted to share our human cuisine with you."

Arum Nok felt wrong and decided to accept it anyway, "Well, a refreshing average will be fine."

Kaina tapped her fingers on the table a few times, and a lady in casual clothes walked in. The lady placed a cup of iced spirit water on the table and gave Arum Nok a gentle look before going out.

Arum Nok glanced at the cup of iced spirit water and observed it with his eyes, sipping it shortly after. His eyes widened in surprise as the drink was so refreshing.

"This is nice." Arum Nok smiled, finishing the rest quickly.

He felt relaxed.

So relaxed.

And sleepy.

Yes, soooo sleepy~.

Kaina leaned on her chair and waited for a minute.

"Arum Nok..."

"From now on, I want you to answer all my questions honestly."
