Chapter 541: 528 Golden Ship Now
Lan Xue subconsciously read the words on the note, and her loli face turned pale. She looked at Bai Zhongqi with a pained expression. "Uncle, isn't this asking for trouble?"
Sure enough, when had the Three-Star Bishop ever been greeted about his old mother, and a past-her-prime loli confronting him in front of so many people, people from the Star Warrior Sect certainly didn't understand what it meant to hold back.
Despite his good upbringing, Yuan couldn't stop a twisted expression from appearing on his face. He didn't even have time to hit the pause button on the video and instead shouted at his subordinates, "What are you waiting for? Sink this little snot and her spaceship!"
Bai Zhongqi was unafraid, reassuring Lan Xue, "Don't worry. Aim the cannon at his face, and if that doesn't work, Uncle will get you something fiercer."
Seeing Bai Zhongqi's confidence, Lan Xue also found courage, rubbing her hands together excitedly, "Alright, Uncle!"
However, just at that moment, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared in the sky.
The captain of the Satellite Wolves, Gray Rat, exclaimed excitedly, "It's the Golden Great Sail Ship!"
The sky seemed gently snipped open by a pair of scissors, revealing a slit shimmering with dreamlike, multicolored hues. A giant ship, floating above the starry river, sailed out from this slit.
Although everyone had heard of its enormity, no one had imagined that the ship could be that gigantic. Some had even thought that they might be able to see the full view of the Golden Great Sail Ship at low altitude near the ground, but when the ship appeared, everyone realized it was a delusion.
Just the bow, slowly sliding out from the void, was enough to reveal how massively huge the ship was. Even comparing it to a giant mountain range would be underestimating the size of this ship's bow. Bai Zhongqi had once piloted the Homeland Titan, yet even the Homeland Titan was not as enormous as this Golden Great Sail Ship.
The Golden Great Sail Ship gradually emerged from the void, its revealed hull growing increasingly massive. The treasure hunters gathered at what was marked as the starting point on the navigation map were now beneath the Golden Great Sail Ship. Looking up, they could only see a gold-colored hull covering the sky.
The entire Golden Great Sail Ship was thousands of kilometers long and hundreds of kilometers wide. Such a volume was incomparable to any ordinary ship—it was clearly the size of a small planet.
What was stranger still was that, for a ship of such size, the gravitational force should have been enormous. Yet, appearing above Wanbo Star, the Golden Great Sail Ship floated elegantly in the air as if it hadn't been affected by any force, and then moved forward slowly.
The manager of the Graphite Consortium, Pulaisi, shouted orders: "Quick, get the ship up there, and park it on the deck!"
"No can do, Mr. Manager. Our warship is experiencing severe disturbances from the force field, and although the engines are at full power, we can only sway in the air and can't fly properly!"
At this point, Bai Zhongqi also felt it. His F-type Warship Beast seemed to be experiencing some strong interference, making them tremble like pinned butterflies next to the colossal sail ship, unable to do anything.
Yuan, who initially wanted to eliminate Bai Zhongqi and Lan Xue, could no longer care about anything else at this moment. His usually composed face now oozed sweat as he cried out hoarsely, "Hurry up and do something! Catch up to her!"
Every Treasure Hunter's eyes were filled with the sight of the massive and majestic Golden Great Sail Ship. Although it resembled an ancient civilizational sailing vessel in appearance, complete with decorations, it did not conform to the aesthetic of interstellar civilizations. Yet, thinking about how this ship, like a king, routinely patrolled various universes and visited their world every six hundred years, filled everyone with a sense of infinite grandeur.
For most people, parallel universes existed only in theories and legends; they knew the periphery of the material world was the void, but they could not truly perceive or understand the worlds beyond the void. However, possessing this ship meant that traveling to other universes and gaining more benefits and resources had become possible.
"I must have her!" Yuan became even crazier. He knew more than the other forces. The Star Warrior Sect knew more about the Elder Race, which created the Primate Clan and was the only high-level civilization in the Ancient Galaxy, possessing a high standard of technology and having broken the barriers of the universe to travel between worlds.
Although the Star Warrior Sect was arrogant, thinking themselves as unique demigods in the universe, they only had worship left for the Elder Race. Many high-ranking members of the sect fervently pursued the Elder Race. Although they would never admit it and always emphasized the supremacy of the sect, there was no doubt that the sect was targeting the development toward the Elder Race.
What Yuan could not have imagined was that on that unremarkable spaceship he had just wanted to destroy, there was a living member of the Elder Race.
When the void closed completely, the interference faced by the various spaceships seemed to have lessened somewhat. Yuan made a snap decision and immediately ordered his sect's warship to rush onto the deck of the Golden Great Sail Ship.
"If the Golden Great Sail Ship can be controlled, then it must be from a place like the bridge or the main control room—starting from the deck is necessary!" This was almost a consensus among all the forces involved in the treasure hunt.
This was certainly correct. Finding the main control node after landing on an ordinary spaceship might not be a difficult task, but the problem is, the Golden Great Sail Ship was a massive construct the size of a small asteroid. Finding a main control node on a massive ship thousands of kilometers long, hundreds of kilometers wide, and hundreds of kilometers high would be no easier than finding a needle in the ocean.
On board the type F Warship Beast, when Lan Xue saw the legendary Golden Great Sail Ship with her own eyes, she felt so excited she could burst.
"This is the Golden Great Sail Ship, it's really real!" Lan Xue could understand why the old man's eyes always sparkled when he used to tell her this story. One couldn't feel the tremor in their soul without witnessing such a majestic and massive existence firsthand.
Bai Zhongqi's reaction, however, was much calmer. He observed the sail ship a few times, confirmed that it was indeed a mother ship of the Elder Race, and that there was no presence of the Elder Race on board, indicating that it was unclaimed.
But now, rather than taking over this spaceship, Bai Zhongqi was more eager to destroy the Star Warrior Sect's spaceship and capture Yuan.
The enemy's disciple should be able to provide him with a lot of useful information. Perhaps he couldn't uproot the entire Star Alliance in one go, but he could certainly start by eliminating them one by one to seek revenge.
Yuan would be a good start.
