Chapter 1295.
Within the cabin, Wang Dust leaned back in his gravity chair and flipped through the information that was displayed in the visual field.
The Sacred Light Empire was the well-deserved hegemon of the Taikoo Galaxy, with a territory that once reached half of the galaxy and was constantly expanding outwards.
However, this powerful empire was now facing internal and external problems.
The internal trouble lies in the conflicts between the major star clusters, as well as the nobles, the clergy, and the commoners, which have been deposited for hundreds of years, like a dormant volcano, and no one knows when it will suddenly erupt.
And the external danger was the Alliance and the foreign races!
Putting aside the alliance of the same origin and species, the foreign races were undoubtedly the great enemy of the entire human race, the war between the empire and the foreign races had lasted for many years, and although it had held its boundaries, it had lost its ability to expand.
The alien race is also known as the Underworld race, they are not carbon-based organisms, their size is like a mutated octopus, with four eyes and eight tentacles in front and back, not only their own defense is very strong, but also able to enter the state of virtualization, very difficult to deal with.
The scary thing is that such strange creatures also have their own civilization, able to create large space warships, the strongest can even fight against the Imperial Titan ships.
As of now, the Underworld Race controlled twenty-seven stargates and five star clusters in the Taikoo Galaxy.
Although the territory they occupy is completely incomparable to that of the Empire, the constant stream of Underworld legions not only hold back most of the Empire’s military power, but also put great pressure on the security of the Empire’s borders.
Over the years, countless Imperial warriors had sacrificed their lives in the battles against the invasion of the Underworld Race.
And this would continue, no one knew when the war would end!
The scientists of the Empire tried to figure out the origin of the Psi Clan, but unfortunately all their efforts ended in failure, but it is certain that they first came from an undiscovered stargate.
It’s like ……
another invader from a world!
Wang Dust used to have limited knowledge about the alien race, but this time he had gotten his hands on the Empire’s classified information, and only then did he get hold of more information related to the Phantoms.
The planet he was heading to, Tempus, had once fallen to the Psi Clan, and although it had been recaptured now, the living planet had become a radioactive place where modern civilization could not exist.
The Imperial side suspects that the Psions have massively modified Tampas to make it suitable for their own survival and habitat.
But this was mere speculation, without any scientific basis.
In fact the Psi Clan itself defied a lot of scientific common sense, allowing the Empire to fully realize the complexity and diversity of the universe!
There is also intelligence that some living humans may still exist on the current planet of Tampas.
When the Tampax star cluster was about to fall, the Empire launched an emergency evacuation operation of the living planet, and despite evacuating most of its citizens, there were still some who were essentially abandoned.
There were also some who were unwilling to leave their homeworlds themselves, choosing to stick around and fight in their homelands.
How many of those who stayed behind were still alive was an unknown, as the communications between the Empire and Tampas had long been cut off, and it was estimated that those who survived were also languishing in underground bases.
All in all, the current Tampas is like a chicken rib to the Empire, giving up means sacrificing so many warriors for nothing, but it is impossible to re-immigrate and rebuild, so it can only be left there to watch.
At least until the Phantoms were completely exorcised, it was impossible for the Empire to invest huge amounts of manpower and resources to revitalize the planet.
“Major, we’re about to arrive at Tampax Star Outer Space.”
A non-commissioned officer came to Wang Dust’s side and said in a deep voice, “The landing craft will be launched in thirty minutes, so please get ready.”
Wang Dust nodded, “Understood.”
Wang Dust was now traveling on an Imperial Xinhai-class frigate, the mission of this warship was to send him to Tampas Star for a landing search and rescue mission.
Of course this mission was approved by the Imperial high command, and it also highlighted the Xu family’s energy.
It must be realized that the current Wang Chen was no small figure, as the strongest known super-powered person in the Empire, he had received the attention of His Majesty the Emperor, and was by no means cannon fodder that could be sacrificed at will!
Such a dangerous mission, even if Wang Chen himself agreed, Xu Shao Cheng also paid a great price in order to convince the imperial high command.
Twenty minutes later, Wang Chen, who had changed into a brand new set of combat gear, entered the landing craft.
Due to the special situation of Tampax, he did not carry any electronic equipment, and the combat uniform, weapon and life support bag he wore were all specially customized.
After another ten minutes, the New Sea-class frigate, which was already located in Tampas Star’s synchronized orbit, dropped a high-speed landing craft onto the planet.
The landing craft, which carried Wang Dust, was like a meteor flying towards the ground, the ship’s hull and the thick atmosphere produced violent friction, and finally landed on a rolling plateau like floating water.
The long pike-shaped bow of the ship plowed a deep trail on the ground, cutting thousands of meters before coming to a stop.
Thanks to its special design, it didn’t disintegrate on impact, perfectly protecting the passengers inside.
Accompanied by the whimpering sound of the airtight door opening, Wang Dust leapt out from inside.
The gravity of Tampas Star was not much different from that of Sacred Light Star, so there was no problem of adaptation, and the natural environment of this planet was actually very good, with 70% of the land covered by forests and grasslands, and the oxygen content was slightly higher than that of Sacred Light Star.
So even without a filtering device, Wang Dust could still breathe and act freely.
He looked around and observed his surroundings.
On the surface, today’s Tampax Star didn’t seem to be particularly different from the other living planets, and although it had been occupied by the Underworld Race for a long time, the natural landscape was still there.
However, Wang Dust noticed that not only did the plants here grow particularly luxuriantly, but there was also an obvious trend of mutation.
Most importantly, after landing, Wang Chuan did not perceive the existence of the Source of the World, but an invisible energy fluctuation was silently affecting this living planet.
It gave even Wang Chuan, who was in it, a feeling of being suppressed!
Wang Chen tried to unfold his spiritual energy, only to find that it was similarly suppressed, and the range it could transmit was greatly reduced.
This was tantamount to weakening his power.
Fortunately, the Star Ocean Ring could still be opened normally, and the supplies stored in it could be accessed at will.
Wang Chen organized the equipment he was carrying, then trekked forward towards the distance.
He had only gone out a few kilometers when he spotted a landing ship that was completely covered in vine plants.
The surface of this landing ship appeared severely corroded, but the number on the bow was still vaguely recognizable, and it was the very same one that Xu Chengzhi had used to land on three months ago!
But it looked like it had gone through hundreds of years of erosion from wind, rain and snow.
It’s a bit hard to mess up.
Wang Dust thought darkly.
