Chapter 950: Origin of the Lunarans
Vaan had indirectly insinuated that the Celestial Kingdom was hidden to the west of the Divine Serpent Empire. Emperor Carpus was able to believe this since the blue-skinned celestial man had emerged from the west.
As such, it was easy to convince Emperor Carpus what would happen to the Divine Serpent Empire if it got caught in the middle of the war between the UN and the Celestial Kingdom. However, Vaan didn't actually believe the Celestial Kingdom was hidden in the Western Sea. Even if traces of the Celestial Kingdom were found in the Western Sea, it would only be a single outpost or city of that super civilization and not its entirety.
After all, at the peak of the Celestial Kingdom's prosperity, it had reached for the stars and colonized other celestial bodies in the local solar system. That alone made the Celestial Kingdom a Type-1 civilization on the Kardeshev scale.
It might have been a Type-2 civilization.
Nevertheless, being at least a Type-1 civilization on the Kardeshev scale would mean the Celestial Kingdom was able to access all the energy on its planet and store it for consumption.
Its monopoly on spirit energy was enough proof of that.
Nevertheless, spirit energy wasn't the only form of energy to be found on Pangea. Vaan didn't believe spirit energy alone was enough to support the entire Celestial Kingdom either.
As such, the Celestial Kingdom would just settle in a single location; it must have established countless cities and outposts across Pangea to collect all the available resources and energy required for its development.
In other words, the Celestial Kingdom could be anywhere and everywhere in the vast and boundless ocean.
If Vaan had to venture a wild guess, the Celestial Kingdom's cities and outposts weren't just limited to the ocean but also the underground layer beneath it and even the mantle layer.
He found it hard to believe that the Celestial Kingdom wouldn't be interested in the vast power of magma if it gave up solar power to remain hidden in the world.
Once a war broke out between the UN and the Celestial Kingdom, the land could be attacked from any direction.
Furthermore, it would also be difficult for the UN to guard against the Celestial Kingdom's attacks since it wouldn't be easy to track its movements in the vast ocean.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
As such, Vaan was prepared to seize the initiative by taking the war to the sea instead of waiting for it to arrive on land.
"Right, there's something I want to ask you, Emperor Carpus."
"Please ask away, Your Excellency-No, my Lord!"
Time was ticking.
...
Sometime later, Vaan sensed the arrival of the celestial reinforcements.
Three blue-skinned Divine Origin realm experts made a stop in the exact airspace where the deceased Hurgas had discharged his divine art. Two were Sixth-class Land Investigators, and one was a Fifth-class Land Investigator.
The strongest among them was the Fifth-class Land Investigator, a Fourth-stage Divine Origin realm expert.
After a short investigation, they quickly discovered Hurgas's corpse, along with the carcasses of Gold-horned Mutant Serpents, snowy mountains away from Vaan and Emperor Carpus's
location.
Emperor Carpus did not know when, but the Gold-horned Mutant Serpents had all been silently killed off by Vaan.
Nevertheless, the three blue-skinned Land Investigators were greatly shocked and alarmed when they discovered the corpse and carcasses. Unfortunately, Vaan didn't give them a chance to continue their investigation or flee the scene.
A silent yet deadly cold breeze flew past the three blue-skinned Land Investigators before their heads separated from their bodies.
Emperor Carpus's heart immediately turned cold when the witnessed the scene.
When they arrived, he had sensed their great strength and didn't even dare breathe for fear of
giving away his location.
However, such strong Divine Beings from the Celestial Kingdom were also killed off so effortlessly by Vaan. Emperor Carpus couldn't even tell what power or skill Vaan had used to
behead the three blue-skinned celestials.
Emperor Carpus suddenly felt fortunate for getting the chance to pick the right side. Those three poor fools didn't even get to choose how they died.
Even worse, they didn't even understand why they had to die.
