Chapter 1299: Failed Beauty Trap

Wang Zheng’s request to leave the school wasn’t approved. Simply put, he had considered too little. He had just obtained the Greatest King title, why would they let him go? He had to at least think about the promotional department of Elite Academy X. They were in the midst of attracting talents, what better way was there than Wang Zheng being the largest signboard?

Of course, the school took Wang Zheng’s situation into consideration and let him mingle with the other students. That was also huge pressure on the students since there was no point in playing with such a strong team around.

Elite Academy X was planning to build up on this image. Therefore, Wang Zheng could arrange his classes freely, but there was no escape for him — at least not in the short term.

Wang Zheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this situation. He could only accept it. Of course, he could understand what they were doing. In fact, he was also thankful to Elite Academy X. They had helped him so much, being in contact with the wise men and future. A college had a huge impact on a person. If there wasn’t a platform like Elite Academy X, he would probably still be running around the Solar System. How could he have had the opportunity to deal with the Milky Way Alliance?

The college heaved a sigh of relief when Wang Zheng accepted their offer. They were so afraid that Wang Zheng would reject them. Previously, Wang Zheng was nearly rejected by them when he was enrolling, now the tables had totally turned.

Xie Yuxin and the rest weren’t idle either. There were many restricted places on the Oracle Star that they now had access to. They busied themselves by familiarizing themselves with the environment and collecting intelligence. It was indeed desolate. Rescue forces from the Milky Way Alliance were not in sight. Strangely, Xie Yuxin unconsciously became the backbone of the team. He was very calm and didn’t seem to have danger in mind.

They’d figured out that the Oracle Star was built around the selection of the Son of Saint. There were currently five Sons of Saint, which could increase any time. Anyone could become a candidate for the selection. Of course, most people didn’t come here for that. The Martial Techniques here were real. You could be rewarded through all sorts of peculiar missions and even human experiments. Obviously, the Saint understood the hearts of humans. You had to give if you wanted to get something. Power was something many adventurers came here for.

They provided not only Martial Techniques here, but also the highest level of physical transformation. It could be genetic modifications or mechanical transformations. Of course, it was also possible to get rich. The Saint had technologies and resources as well. Legend had it that those who suddenly became super rich came from the Oracle Star. They might not be from the Saint, but they were also inseparable from the Saint. Honestly, who cared?

Meng Tian and the others had felt earth-shaking changes over the past few days. This place was simply… too scary. They had complete insight into human nature. They could basically give up on any rescue attempts from the Milky Way Alliance. Before we talk about the hidden people from the Saint in the Milky Way Alliance, the technology of this place was too advanced. Unless it became an all-out war, it was highly impossible for anything to be done. The Milky Way Alliance lurked in the darkness, unable to find them. They were not a country, so there was no target. The Milky Way Alliance wasn’t afforded this opportunity.

However, it was just as Xie Yuxin had deduced. This rule was a double-edged sword. This meant that they had a chance. It was now entirely a matter of personal will and pursuit while sticking to their principles.

Everyone agreed with Xie Yuxin’s suspicions now. The Saint definitely had other plans. The selection of the Son of Saint was more like the selection of the higher management than that of a successor. The hidden motive, well, it could well be the plans they wanted to carry out.

Xie Yuxin successfully evoked everyone’s interest and battle spirits.

Xie Yuxin lifted his head lightly. “The Saint never acted without purpose. The seemingly chaotic leads do actually have order and reason behind them. I have been studying the organization since I found some clues a year ago. I uncovered a lot of strange legends.”

“Legends?” Yuan Jing was astounded. That didn’t sound like something a man with a strong, logical, and cold mind like Xie Yuxin would say.

Xie Yuxin smiled faintly. “There was a Golden Age before ours. They might have many misunderstandings about the space and the galaxy, but there were many myth-like legends during that age. And the Saint was one of the origins of the legends.”

Everyone, including Kang Siqi and Huo Dong, nodded. They were descendants of old families and had general knowledge on this subject. They had heard of the lost Golden Age of humanity when they were young and curious. They might even have seen some relics.

The feeling they got from it was that the story writers, for many reasons, had given the ancestors certain forms of glories through their writings.

“That legend might actually be real. There are many powers of the universe that cannot be explained by science. Or perhaps our level of technology and cultivation has yet to be able to comprehend it.”

Humans traveling in space through their own strength and having the power to defeat a whole army fleet was not a dream…

“The Saint is playing an extraordinary role in this era…”

“The Saint of that era wasn’t like how they are now, hidden in the Underworld. They were the masters of the world, accepting the worship of many. That was because most of the powers of the legends came from the Saint.”

The reason why that history was now lost was precisely because the Saint was destroyed and shredded into many pieces by numerous parties. They became the nourishment for the current Golden Age. It could be said to be a dark history.

Xie Yuxin turned back to the previous topic after diving into history. “I’ve guessed the true motive of the Saint. The test for the Son of Saint and the so-called selection is just on the surface. The real purpose is to revive their power from the last era. That is the only reason why the Saint has spent so much resources on the Oracle Star.”

“I have no leads as to how this is related to the selection of the Son of Saint, neither do I have any reasonable guesses.”

Everyone could understand it now, but it was impossible to know where to start. They felt like they were living in a dream, but the dream felt so real, so bloody. They had to face it head-on.

However, the truth was often concealed in what seemed unbelievable.

“The Martial Techniques here are interesting. I tried a dozen. They can really give me strange powers. I have to say that they have toppled my previous conceptions.”

“Dozens?” Meng Tian frowned.

“Woah, a dozen and you are still alive? Why didn’t you go berserk?” Mengha was stunned. What the hell was this?

“Perhaps I’m special, but it doesn’t produce much use even if you mix it up,” Xie Yuxin replied nonchalantly.

Everyone exchanged glances. The invisible gloater was the most deadly.

Huo Dong and Kang Siqi were trying hard to find their role as well. “The Saint has strict control over information transmission. However, any system would have its loopholes. We’ll take charge of invading their system. Of course, that’s after we get some equipment.” They offered.

Xie Yuxin nodded. There was some way to do this. “The easiest way to get into the system is to start from the Son of Saint.”

“You can’t possibly be asking us to rob the Son of Saint?”

“It’s the selection for the Son of Saint, not a robbery. It’s to defect to them.” Xie Yuxin smiled. “These people are masters, we wouldn’t be able to beat them even if we were to fight them together.”

“What are we going to do? You can’t possibly want Meng Tian to seduce him? I won’t agree to it!” Yuan Jing said. His mentality was gradually recovering since he could ridicule them.

Everyone laughed, but Meng Tian’s expression didn’t change. “I’m not good at it, but I can try.”

Everyone was stunned. Since when was Meng Tian so domineering?

“What? Do you all think I’m not attractive?” Meng Tian laughed.

Everyone were still stunned. She was too beautiful. Only Xie Yuxin stayed composed. “The battle among the five Sons of Saint is very intense. They will need the assistance of talents. Someone will come to us if we showcase enough of our talents!”
