798 Is He Worthy of It?

Tianjing City, North area, Hong Family estate.

Everyone in the Hong Family was gathered here. Hong Weiguo was having a chat with Hong Jianye while holding his wife Lan Ruoxi's hand.

"Weiguo, speaking of which, your Dali is so capable." Hong Jianye sighed. "He became a savior in such a short time. Aye, I have to concede to him."

"Hehe, this is not the time for that." Hong Weiguo smiled. "I know you. You are the strategist. When the war with the Zerg begins, we will need your help in planning."

"I'll do my best." Hong Jianye pouted. "No matter how we fight within the family, it's our family matters. Now, Earth is threatened. With the skin gone, to what can the hair attach itself? One thing depends on another. With Earth gone, they will have nothing more left to fight. It will be a pity to give up on your business. Aye."

"Money is not everything." Hong Weiguo did not mind. As long as the foundation existed, it did not matter where they went.

"Chey, you're full of spirit!" Hong Jianye decisively said. "When we're there, don't leave me out if you have any good ideas."

"Don't worry." Hong Weiguo nodded. "If we're all alive then, as long as I'm around, you won't go hungry."

"That's necessary." Hong Jianye sucked in a deep breath. "Alright, let's have fun with the Zerg. A bunch of dumb bugs, I don't believe we are not their opponents!"

…

In the cosmic sky, Hong Dali had already boarded one of the five Second-Order Stellar Space Carriers sent by the Galaxy Aristocrats and was heading towards Earth.

Following these space carriers were tens of thousands of transport spacecraft.

These transport spacecraft were all either purchased or hired by Hong Dali. More were sent over with Yin Tianzong and Jiang Qianxue's help.

Looking at these spacecraft, each at least twenty kilometers in length, Hong Dali was very grateful.

Fortunately, he did not kill Yin Tianzong on impulse but chose to be friends with him. Otherwise, apart from the fact that he might have to escape to the universe, he would have no way to save Earth now.

Yin Tianzong was a true friend, indeed. When he found out that Hong Dali's mother planet was in trouble, he mobilized all his power to help. Such people were true brothers!

And Jiang Qianxue…

Hong Dali would always remember her kindness.

Thinking up to this point, Thinking up to this point walked over slowly and said softly, "Dali, what did Pops say?"

"Pops?" He remembered White Beard Gate and laughed. "Pops asked us to go over first. He will come with some help later on. Aye, I didn't want to trouble him. But he said that he could not watch and do nothing." At this point, Hong Dali said faintly, "He has only just acknowledged me as his son but has to do so much to help me now. It's really…"

"Hehe, his help will not be in vain." Tang Muxin smiled. "You can give him a few Health stones later on."

"That's a good idea." Speaking of Health stones, Hong Dali's mood changed for the better. "Pops will love it. Haha!"

They laughed and felt less tense. Later, Hong Dali asked softly, "Oh right, Xinxin, did they say how long it will take to get to Earth? Did you ask?"

"I did." Tang Muxin nodded. "Our luck is good. It's just another eighteen hours before we will approach Earth."

"En, okay."

…

On another Second-Order Stellar Space Carrier.

"Li Tianxing!" Jiang Qianxue looked angrily at Li Tianxing who was sitting on a chair. She shouted, "Why don't you know better! This is not the time to be at odds with Hong Dali!"

"Huh? Me? At odds with him? Is he worthy of it?" Li Tianxing narrowed his eyes and said in disdain. "What is my status? I'm a Galaxy Aristocrat! True-blue Galaxy Aristocrat! Successor of the next Nine Sha Luos! Who is Hong Dali? He's just an Honorary Aristocrat, and a string-puller at that. Why do I need his help?! Why should I ask for an Honorary Aristocrat's help?"

"You!" Jiang Qianxue was so angry her face went green.

A man rarely got jealous, but when he did, it was unbelievable.

Although Li Tianxing and Hong Dali's status were poles apart, Li Tianxing was still jealous of Hong Dali.

He could not stand that Jiang Qianxue was on Hong Dali's side.

Who was Hong Dali? Galaxy Aristocrats had to personally help out their mother planet. Isn't that sufficient? Hong Dali actually asked me to tell him if I need anything? Who does he think he is? Does my kind need to ask an Honorary Aristocrat for anything?!

"Dali wanted to give you energy gems, and you say this!" Jiang Qianxue was so upset her eyes were wet and her face was red. "We are facing the Mutated Zergs this time! We should increase whatever attributes we can! But you're still sulking at a time like this! You…"

"Energy gems?! From him?!" Li Tianxing suddenly laughed out loud. "I don't even have energy gems. You're telling me he has them? Do you believe everything he says? If he could give away energy gems freely, does he need to be afraid of the Zergs? What kind of joke is this?!"

"You!" Jiang Qianxue was speechless. She immediately took out the energy gem that Hong Dali gave her and shouted, "Look at this. He gave this to me!"

It would be fine if she hadn't said anything. When she took out what Hong Dali had given her, the first thing that came to Li Tianxing's mind was not the fact that Hong Dali had energy gems, it was that Jiang Qianxue actually accepted a gift from Hong Dali!

He spent ten million Galaxy Dollars on the armor to give to Jiang Qianxue, but she rejected it. And she actually accepted Hong Dali's gift!

Li Tianxing could not stand it anymore. He turned around and shouted, "Stop! You actually accepted his gift and not mine! Qianxue, you hurt my feelings!"

"I should be the one that is hurt!" Jiang Qianxue turned around without saying more.

"Hong Dali!" Li Tianxing smashed the chair in pieces in one move. "What kind of ability do you have to let Qianxue side with you like that! I can't accept it! I won't accept it!"

…

On the other side, where Feng Wuhen was.

"Damn, you really have energy gems!" Feng Wuhan's eyeballs were almost popping out of their sockets as he stared at the energy gem in his hand. It was a gem that Hong Dali had given him as a token of gratitude—an energy gem that could increase energy by 50%, a super top-grade gem!

"It's just so-so." Hong Dali grinned and ruffled his hair. He said, "Brother Wuhen, you are an energy user, so this stone may have an effect on your abilities. I have some other gems too. If there is anything you need, let me know."

"No, it's enough. Definitely enough!" Feng Wuhen held on tightly to the energy gem. He wished he could swallow it. "With this, my power can be improved by at least 20%! It's a good thing. Of all the attribute stones, this one is the most valuable, because it can affect the abilities of the energy users, hahaha!"

Energy gems were so valuable because they had a significant impact on the abilities of the energy users!

What was most important to an energy user? Not Strength, Agility, nor Reflexes. It was the energy output of their ability!

Strength, Agility, and Reflexes attribute also affected an energy user's ability, but compared to an energy gem, the effect was not as significant.

Now that he got an energy gem, one that was top-grade and could increase energy by 50%, Feng Wuhen was completely overwhelmed—he put his hand around Hong Dali's shoulder and said, laughing, "Haha, Dali, you sure got a way about you. I have not come in vain this time! Rest assured. Those damn bugs may be powerful, but with me here, they will not have a chance to do whatever they want!"

Hong Dali chuckled and nodded. "Since you put it that way, thank you for your help, Brother Wuhen. Hehe."

"Haha, don't worry!"

You could not trap a wolf if you did not bait it with a child, and you would not make a friend who was an energy user if you could not bear to part with an energy stone. It did not matter if Feng Wuhen did it for the sake of the gift or because he liked Hong Dali. The important thing was that he would do his best. That was enough.

…

Elsewhere, in space.

The dense swarm of Zerg flew towards Earth.

The Zerg were so overwhelming. There was such a huge swarm of them, no one had any idea as to how many.

Hundreds of millions? Billions? Tens of billions? It was all possible. Within the Zerg were countless meteorite-like hives.

There were so many of them, just seeing them made one go numb with fear, let alone having to fight them.

They just had to fly for another eighty hours and they would enter the solar system!

And these were just the vanguard. The real horror was behind them!

Mutated Zerg!

…

Within the airspace of the two Fourth-Order Planet-level space carriers.

The two captured space carriers had been completely cocooned by the mutated Zerg by now.

The two space carriers were now floating in space like giant dumplings. On the hull of the space carriers were plant-like protrusions. The inside of the space carrier looked like a spider web.

These two space carriers had become the equivalent of a beehive, with eggs within each compartment. In each egg was a shadow resembling a human body. These were the humans who had not managed to commit suicide and instead got captured by the Zerg!

Zerg Knights! The mutated Zerg was making Zerg Knights!

"Crack." An egg ruptured. The skin of the human inside looked like it had been scorched. It slid out onto the ground and was soon eaten up by patrolling Zerg.

The humans in these ruptured eggs were those who were genetically weak and died as they were not able to withstand the mutation into Zerg Knights.

This happened all the time.
