Chapter 3007 Live A Happy Life!
The two tides collided violently, unleashing destructive energy like a solar flare.
Li Jialing, Li Linghai, Li Yao, the boxing champion, and even Ding Lingdang and Yan Liren, who were clearing the pathway above them, were pierced through by radiation and particles regardless of whether they were Cultivators, Immortal Cultivators, or information lifeforms. They had a taste of thousands of blades biting them and thousands of arrows piercing their hearts.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Under the baptism of the intense electric arcs and thunderstorms, all the crystal suits, the Titan Warriors, and even the power units of Iron Fist were emitting soul-stirring explosions. Many units lost their stability, and many others were burning and paralyzed.
The experts all felt that their cells were being corroded by the super radiation. The giant soldier, the crystal suit, and the mustard suit were as thin as paper and could not protect them at all.
Even so, they gritted their teeth and persisted.
“Brother Yao, don’t worry about me. I—I will help you block the lightning. Just push Iron Fist out.”
Li Jialing gritted his teeth. The skin on his face cracked, revealing the bright gold flesh inside. “Believe me. I can do it!”
“…Alright, I believe you.”
Li Yao was over-burning, too. Crimson steam was popping up all over his body. “Punching King, believe me, too. Keep driving Iron Fist at full speed. We will get out of here!”
“Understood. I believe you.”
The boxing champion said solemnly, “Ding Lingdang, please believe in us, too. Iron Fist is coming. Prepare to receive it!”
CO
“…It’s ready!”
Ding Lingdang could not help but burst into tears. She shouted, “I believe in you. I believe in all of you. You can do it!”
Some Exos around Iron Fist could not hold on any longer. After spurting blood crazily, they lost consciousness and fell toward the ancient star.

But the soldiers below were quick enough to catch the fallen Exos one by one. They even connected the unconscious Exos to their own soldiers with super alloy cables. They did not know why, but they were all cruel, brutal, and merciless people. There was no kindness or mercy in their eyes. Faced with the overwhelming thunderstorm, they simply did not want any human being to fall into the depths of the damn ancient giants.
Not a chance. Not a single one!
“Ah!”
Everybody roared furiously again, fighting against the storm, the thunder, and the dominators of the planets!
“Dad!”
“Punching King!”
When everyone was caught in a stalemate, two new voices suddenly echoed in the communication channel.
Hundreds of light spots darted close from above the ring like fireflies.
It was Xiao Ming and Wen Wen!
The ‘landing spot’ of their starship was the furthest away from the main fleet. It was also the last two starships to receive the signal of the Fist King and Li Yao’s call for help. They did not stop even though they had arrived late. Thankfully, they had arrived at the most critical moment.
The two information life-forms were controlling almost a hundred spiritual puppets respectively. They were even carrying professional plug-in auxiliary power units and portable fuel tanks. In the blink of an eye, they finished the data exchange with the boxing champion. Hundreds of streaks of brightness drew a marvelous curve and stuck to Iron Fist precisely.
The new auxiliary power unit spurted out glamorous brilliance. The speed of Iron Fist was significantly higher.
“We’re saved!”
Li Yao was overjoyed. He really wanted to hug Xiao Ming and Wen Wen and kiss them hard. He was so relieved that he almost passed out on the spot. But he concentrated the last bit of his will and continued outputting the strongest impetus of the ‘Arsonists’ to speed up Iron Fist.
“We’re saved!”
Ding Lingdang took a deep breath to stop the warmth in her eyes from flowing out. She punched at a much higher speed, making sure that every speck of dust among the billions of dusts was obliterated in front of her defense line.
“We’re saved!”
Li Jialing also sensed that the radiation and particle streams passing through his body were declining. The young emperor felt like jumping up and down in joy.
Like a real tide, the thunderous waves that protruded out of the methane atmosphere retreated helplessly after they failed to conquer the human beings when they reached the peak of their roars.
After it completely fell into the atmosphere, a new torrent of plasma rushed out.
However, it was no longer as high and mighty as before. Besides, Iron Fist was flying higher and higher, further and further away from the atmosphere and gravity of the ancient star, which meant that it was out of its attack range. Therefore, Li Jialing and all the other experts all took a long breath in relief and eyed the furious ‘opponent’ with the eyes of a winner.
The torrent of plasma brushed past their noses and fell back to the ancient star eventually. But it gradually dispersed in the methane atmosphere and turned into a cluster of ferocious beasts that looked like giant crabs, scorpions, and spiders. It was also like a hideous face that was cursing them maliciously.
Seeing this scene, Li Jialing and everyone else was slightly stunned. What was this? Some kind of illusion and coincidence? It couldn’t be a living creature with consciousness, right?
Although there had been countless kinds of alien species in space, or even man-made ferocious beasts developed by the Pangu civilization that boasted a certain level of intelligence, However, the harsh environment of the ancient giants was not a paradise for life.
It was impossible for there to be life in this place, and it was even more impossible for life to be in such a… bizarre and terrifying form.
It was probably his imagination.
No matter what, they had won the battle, and they were going to continue winning just like in the previous battle!
Outside the ring, in the rainbow dust zone.
The ancient giants were particularly tranquil and magnificent after the storm of lightning. The torrents of plasma had swallowed a lot of dust and star chips and transformed them into thousands of spiritual waves that were flowing slowly like glamorous swirls and thousands of glamorous flowers of the universe.
But human beings had no time to appreciate the splendid picture. After a moment of surprise, they started their work.
Although Iron Fist had been rescued, its shell had been shattered, and there were fatal internal injuries on its framework. Without a mobile dock, it was impossible to repair the supply ship. Therefore, it could only be abandoned and transferred to another starship. A lot of important people, including Li Yao and Li Jialing, had been wounded in the rescue operation and had to be treated in time. Even Ding Lingdang, who was not seriously wounded, had consumed too much spiritual energy and had to take a lot of high-nutrition drugs to restore her dry veins.
Therefore, the exploration team planned to stay in the rainbow dust zone at the periphery of the ring for twenty-four hours so that they could gather the starships scattered on the landing spots and collect and analyze the astronomical parameters near the ancient giants, especially the abnormal orbital changes of the satellites, in order to calculate the precise coordinates of the entrance of the ancient tomb.
Lying flat on his back in the gel-like soft treatment bag, Li Yao let the drops of crystal balls roll over his rotting and torn wounds. Sensing the warm and slightly itchy feeling all over his body, he smiled silently.
“Li Yao, please explain!”
Dozens of giant light beams suddenly appeared above his head. Almost a hundred experts were glaring at him angrily. The situation just now had been too urgent for them to waste their breath on him. Now that they were running away from danger, of course, they had to settle the score later. With a gloomy face, Li Linghai asked on behalf of everybody, “Why didn’t you follow the procedure of the operation plan and abandon ‘Iron Fist’? Why did you act on your own and make the team suffer unnecessary risks?”
Narrowing his eyes, Li Yao enjoyed the massage of the drugs for a while, before he asked, “The crew members of Iron Fist have been safely transferred to other starships, haven’t they? How are they?”.
Without waiting for Li Linghai’s reply, Li Yao retrieved the surveillance videos of the medical treatment zones of several starships.
He saw that many crew members of Iron Fist had received treatment and regained their vitality. They were wolfing down the food and enjoying the delicious food.
Some of them had mixed feelings and cherished every second of their life. They were recording a video and preparing to send it to their family in the distance. Whoever experienced the soul-stirring tug-of-war in the sky of the planet must’ve had a lot of things that they wanted to say to their family.
Of course, most of them were too occupied to eat or sleep. Before their wounds were fully recovered, they were already dedicated to their work. The precious data that they collected in person would be the most important cornerstone for mankind to conquer the ancient giants.
The vivid scenes of life made the experts who had saved everything, be they Cultivators or Immortal Cultivators, fall into silence, deep in thought.
“What do you think? Does it feel good to save someone occasionally?”
Li Yao smiled and asked, “Also, do you like the feeling of fighting against the planet, slashing the waves between the plasma and the thunderstorm, and escaping in one piece?”
“Li Yao—”
Li Linghai finally couldn’t help but ask solemnly, “What are you trying to say?”
“Nothing. It’s just a casual conversation to improve our friendship.”
Li Yao rested his head on his arms comfortably and mumbled, “In fact, a long time ago, before I awakened my spiritual root and embarked on the road of cultivation, I had also thought about what I was going to do after I mastered the ultimate techniques and possessed the supreme techniques. It would be nothing more than wealth, glory, luxury, beautiful women, and the reverence and admiration of thousands of people. I would even leave my name in history and become a high-sounding portrait in the textbooks… and so on. At that time, in my opinion, these were the happiest things in the world. The most exciting things were the things that were worth investing my life and pride in. As long as I could get them, my life would be complete, my life would be worthwhile, and I would die with no regrets.
“In the end, hehe, let’s not talk about me. Let’s talk about everyone here. I’m afraid that you already had such things as fame, fortune, and veneration decades ago, didn’t you? Then, did you feel good? Was it exciting? Was it satisfying? Did you feel that your life was completely worth it? Did you feel that you had understood everything, understood everything, and lived a happy life? Now, did you fall to the ground and die with no regrets?”
