Chapter 349: Chapter 229: Blast the Planet Along!_2
He could not possibly become a civilization’s babysitter.
Once he left, in the end, it would still be up to the Star Alliance civilizations to deal with the calamity themselves, to face everything.
“From the perspective of a mecha pilot, interstellar civilizations and planetary civilizations each have their advantages and disadvantages.”
“Planetary civilizations can rapidly integrate forces to form a unified pattern, where everyone develops the mecha pilot system together, creating a stable situation.”
“The downside is that the population base is small, making the probability of geniuses emerging relatively lower.”
“Interstellar civilizations, on the other hand, are a bit troublesome. Before the arrival and growth of a promising individual, mecha pilots might even become the weapons and tools of war among different factions...”
“The advantage is that the population base is large, increasing the probability of geniuses appearing, and it also makes crossing the abyss much easier.”
Just like the Star Alliance.
The habitable planets in their territories exceed one thousand.
The average population of these habitable planets has already reached nine billion.
Just counting these, the population of the Star Alliance has already reached nine trillion...
With such a terrifying population base, not to mention producing top-tier geniuses like Li Xiao.
Geniuses of Parvin’s level, similar to the second hope candidate of Planet Blue Star, should be not few in number.
Once they successfully cross the abyss and completely unify, the potential and heritage of the Star Alliance will far surpass those of the ‘Ancients’, ‘Traditional Combat’, and ‘Pantheon’ civilizations.
“I hope this civilization can cross the abyss sooner...”
...
Transferring the mecha pilot legacy and leaving behind relevant knowledge and information are considered additional actions.
The current core objective is still the task of the ascension trial itself.
This time, the ascension trial task is divided into two items.
Task one requires defeating the undead fleet and preventing the resurrection of souls.
Task two requires eliminating the Legendary Overlord and completely annihilating the Dead Spirits Empire.
Without a doubt, Jiang Chen would definitely take the second path, aiming to max out the trial’s evaluation.
However, to achieve this within ten days,
he must have sufficient understanding of the Dead Spirits Empire.
Therefore, after the battle ended, Jiang Chen’s first stop was to visit the Star Alliance Fleet, not only to transfer the mecha pilot legacy but also to obtain information about the Dead Spirits Empire.
The Star Alliance Commander naturally would not refuse such a request.
Not only did he provide the information on the Dead Spirits Empire,
but he also specifically arranged for an undead archaeologist skilled at analyzing the data.
Of course, Jiang Chen did not need anyone else’s help.
He directly recorded this information into the Knowledge Chip and then used a learning device to inject all of it into his mind.
With just a moment’s time, relying on his own thought speed and supercomputing power, he categorized and straightened out all the data.
According to the information provided,
because the Star Alliance’s research on the Dead Spirits Empire was too in-depth,
As long as the output was high enough and combined with scouting abilities to find weaknesses, breaking the force field, or even destroying the planet outright, was not impossible!
If the planet had been destroyed, could the undead army continue to sleep?
If this couldn’t wake them, then they could be sent off directly.
If they woke up in the middle...
Then that would be perfect, as the battle could start immediately.
“However, there’s a problem with this method,”
“If the undead king really doesn’t wake up and gets sent off in its sleep... could that affect the burst rate?”
This was what Jiang Chen was worried about.
The trial for ascending ranks had a maxed-out loot drop rate, making it an excellent time to farm.
If forcefully killing a weakened boss affected the drop rate, that would be a loss—
This kind of situation could very well occur.
After all, the reason the undead king fell into slumber was due to being weak and injured, in need of Spiritual Energy for recovery.
If it was a 10th Rank Soul Expulsion Tyrant at its peak, waking it up directly without Spiritual Energy replenishment might result in a 9th or even 8th Rank Soul Expulsion Tyrant (in a weakened state).
The outputs from the abyss in different states would certainly not be the same.
If one aimed for the highest profit...
Logically, fighting at peak would provide the highest loot drop rates.
Based on this, Jiang Chen decided to adopt the second plan.
First to awaken the boss, stack its power to its peak, then commence battle.
Moreover, since the Soul Expulsion Tyrant was a Legendary Overlord, if he felt like it during the battle, a direct contract could also be a possibility.
As for the Spiritual Energy and soul materials required to awaken the boss...
They could be provided by the undead army.
The souls of humans from the Star Alliance could be squeezed for Spiritual Energy to use as a sacrifice.
There was no reason the souls of the undead army wouldn’t work, right?
He would start by cleaning up the undead fleet that had awakened and was attacking the border planets, using the device he carried to collect their Spiritual Energy and souls.
If that wasn’t enough, there were still many in the slumbering undead army.
No need for a ritual to wake them up.
Just break the force field directly, destroy the planet and the undead army, and collect the souls and Spiritual Energy.
After several rounds of farming, he should accumulate enough materials.
With that in mind, the process became very clear.
However, the information provided by the Star Alliance Commander did not include methods for undead rituals.
Jiang Chen had him fill in the relevant information.
After that, he returned to the cockpit of his steam mecha, left the Star Alliance Fleet, and flew toward the border planet where the undead fleet was emerging.
Leaving behind the Star Alliance Commander, filled with confusion.
Why did Jiang Chen want to know how to awaken the undead army?
