Chapter 946
"Fellow passengers, welcome to Eastern Star . I am your captain, Zhao Jingyu . I am delighted to be serving you today . Our flight uses the newest technology in the Alliance . Along the way, we will be passing through two wormholes . The entire journey will take three days, and our destination is Planet East Dragon…"
Fang Yuan sat on a padded seat inside the interstellar ship .
After he had registered and received the notification from East Dragon University, he left for his destination immediately .
He looked around his surroundings with interest .
The humans in this era were blessed, as they could enjoy intergalactic travel . Currently, he was sitting in a budget cabin . There was no personal space other than a seat, but he could extend it, spreading it into a bed . Furthermore, there were curtains for privacy . The various delicate designs were very elaborate .
"Ah… what a shame . Lin Meng's savings were only enough to purchase the cheapest ticket . After buying one, I don't have a single cent left . If it weren't for my university admission, I wouldn't have even obtained a discount…"
Fang Yuan shook his head . "It looks like I need to start earning some cash . "
No matter what a world's cultivation path was, money was still an important concept . Fang Yuan would not neglect this at all .
Since the ship had not taken off, the atmosphere inside remained lively . His surroundings drew his attention, and he saw many students like him .
"Planet East Dragon is the technological capital of the Human Alliance . Not only is East Dragon University there, but there are also several other well-known institutions and research institutes . The students traveling here must be the top students of Planet Blue Ray…"
Fang Yuan scanned his surroundings but failed to spot a single familiar face .
"Hi! Are you heading to Planet East Dragon, too?" To his right, a girl with a ponytail smiled at him . "My name is Marianne . I'm from Tianhuang City!"

"Hello! My name is Lin Meng!" Fang Yuan responded as he examined the technology around him . He was a little excited . "The Human Alliance's technology has a ship like this . Too interesting . I wonder if the wormholes are artificially-created or natural . If it's the former, that'd be amazing!"
This world suppressed Demon Gods as well . However, he speculated that when he broke the seal and recovered his strength completely, he could survive in space or even perform interstellar travel .
As for whether or not he could destroy a star to attain the achievement of 'Star Destroyer', he needed to test it out .
Suddenly, the entire Eastern Star began to vibrate . Every student experienced a sudden increase in gravity .
An exuberant robotic female voice reminded the passengers, "Our ship is taking off! Entering the acceleration state . Passengers, please put on your seatbelts!"
Next to Fang Yuan and Marianne, a fatty grumbled, "Damn… I knew there would be a problem with this budget cabin! Even the anti-gravity magnets are so old… If I hadn't booked the tickets too late and the VIP seats were sold out, I wouldn't be sitting in a seat like this!"
"Huang Tianba, why don't you keep quiet?" Marianne's face revealed irritation .
"Huang Tianba?!"
Fang Yuan looked at this little fatty . His body was well-rounded, and his cheeks had a red glow . However, his tiny eyes were sharp . He looked fat but was cunning, not a simple person at all .
His Heavenly Eye Seer Spell allowed him to observe the three states of man . Upon meeting a person, he did not have to use his magical powers at all, and he could tell their status with one look . A person's experiences will ultimately leave behind a trace . This Huang Tianba must have come from a wealthy family . He has guts of steel but is as cunning as a fox . The only child of the family, but he knows kindness . Hmm, he's even interested in Marianne . He said that intentionally to attract her attention .
"Hey! Brother, which school were you from?"

Huang Tianba laughed loudly while unfastening his seatbelt casually . Leaning forward, he greeted Fang Yuan . "I barely made it through the exam, so I can only be a monk at Vajra Meditation University . Thankfully, monk cultivators don't have to shave their heads anymore, and they can also get married in the future . My family's three generations can't end with me! Hold on, doesn't the name Lin Meng ring a bell?"
"Of course, he's the top scholar from the neighboring city, third on the planet!" Marianne rolled her eyes .
"So, you're that Lin Meng . You're my idol!" Huang Tianba slapped his thigh . "Damn… you're amazing . A perfect score . To think that I struggled so hard, selling my soul to my studies, but only scored a mere 270 . Big Bro, what's your secret?"
Even though he looked rough, he did not arouse hatred at all .
Fang Yuan smiled a little . He was about to speak when he suddenly felt gravity disappear . In an instant, he became 'weightless' .
He gazed at the view outside the window . "This is… outer space!"
"Fang Yuan, is this your first time traveling through space?" Huang Tianba looked in a different direction . "When I was seven, my father took me to Planet Rainbow for fun . You probably don't know how fun that place is . The entire planet is like a huge playground! You can spend your entire life exploring the place!"
"Stop it!" Marianne exposed him immediately . "All you did was to buy the cheapest tickets and take a few pictures there before you returned . You didn't even spend a single night there . Planet Rainbow is also known as the Gold-Spending Heaven . Staying there overnight would cost you billions of star dollars . "
"Hehe . Marianne, why do you expose me all the time?" Huang Tianba rubbed his head, embarrassed . Then he looked at Fang Yuan . "Big Bro Lin, you're the best . You were admitted into East Dragon University, right? You must be the first one who made it from our side . "
The reputation of East Dragon University was no small matter .
Fang Yuan furrowed his brow, feeling numerous curious and searching gazes landing on him at once .
"It's just luck!" he replied modestly . "That's right, do you know anything about Planet East Dragon? Also, is the wormhole we're passing through artificial or natural?"

Lin Meng was just a high school student . He had not traveled through the galaxy in his life, so he did not pay attention to these matters .
"The wormhole is natural… However, I heard that a Grand Arcanist and an Undead Immortal from an elite research institute managed to create a temporary wormhole…" Marianne seemed very knowledgeable about this . "My goal is to become a research-type cultivator . I will enter one of those top laboratories and work there!"
"That's right! Leave the fighting to others!" Huang Tianba added shamelessly . Then he boasted a little . "My father wants me to join combat department . It seems Vajra Meditation University's expertise is in this! However, what I want to do is construct research!"
Construct research referred to mechas in this world! Of course, it included cultivation's puppetry and the Arcane's spiritual awakening . It was high-end technology with terrifying combat power .
A top-tier mecha pilot was equivalent to a small squad of space battleships . Furthermore, they had exceptional mobility and concealment . They were often mobilized to infiltrate behind enemy lines .
"I'm sorry, but Vajra Meditation University doesn't offer those courses!" Marianne attacked him mercilessly . "On the other hand, East Dragon University is the top in this area of research…"
With that, she looked at Fang Yuan .
"Me?" Fang Yuan rubbed his nose . "I haven't thought about what my major will be . I want to become a cultivator before I think about it…"
"That's right!" Huang Tianba nodded continuously, his expression containing excited . "Planet East Dragon, huh… I haven't been there before . But since it's a gathering spot for cultivation universities, it's probably full of heaven and earth spiritual energy, singing bird and flagrant flowers everywhere . It's a blessed paradise…"
"Since it's a place where lots of cultivation universities have gathered, there's something special!" Fang Yuan nodded . He glanced at the tablet on his palm . "But… it seems like I can't find any information on it . "
"That's obvious . It's the place with the best technology in the Alliance! Of course, it'd be top secret!" Marianne seemed used to this . "On top of that, we have our enemy as well!"
"That's right . The Human Alliance's opponent, the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance! Of course, it'd be more accurate to call them the Monster Alliance!"
Huang Tianba sighed .
The humans in this world had entered the stars to plunder planets and resources . Naturally, they would meet resistance .
Within that entire process, they met all sorts of human races . Even though they had slight variations, most were human-like . Thus, they allied and became the Human Alliance .
Their greatest enemy was all types of space lifeforms and alien civilizations . In terms of life, forms, or societal structures, they were inherently different from humans . In the past, they would be known as demons and monsters, so it would not be wrong to call them the Monster Alliance .
Of which, one symbolic life form was the Zerg . Many of these parasites manifested as opponents in the college entrance exams .
"No matter how big the universe is, there is always a limit to its resources . Just like our ancestral planet, they searched the entire galaxy but failed to find another planet that could sustain life…" Fang Yuan responded .
"So, all of this is because of the pressure of survival and expansion… In reality, the Human Alliance and the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance are nothing more than a part of the universe's whims . Compared to fighting each other here, they should split their territory and focus on expansion . However, if even we can think of something like this, the people in power must have considered this before . Is the reason they're not doing this is because of feasibility, technological limits, or another reason they can't give up?"
"Lin Meng, that's deep…"
Marianne and Huang Tianba exchanged glances .
"I'm just voicing my thoughts!"
Fang Yuan smiled gently before shutting his eyes . He began to meditate deeply again .
Even though he was only going to travel for a few days, he could not afford to waste any time .
When he opened his eyes again, Planet East Dragon was within sight!
