Chapter 1296 Star Sea (One Hundred)
Inside the cabin, Wang Chen leaned back in the gravity chair, flipping through the information that appeared in his field of vision.
The Holy Light Empire is the undisputed overlord of the ancient galaxy. Its territory once reached half of the galaxy and continued to expand outward.
But this powerful empire is now facing internal and external troubles.
Internal worries lie in the conflicts among the major star clusters, nobles, gentry and common people. These conflicts have accumulated for hundreds of years, like a dormant volcano, and no one knows when they will suddenly erupt.
External threats are alliances and alien races!
Putting aside the alliances among people of the same origin and race, the alien races were undoubtedly the greatest enemy of all mankind. The war between the empire and the alien races lasted for many years. Although the empire had managed to defend its territory, it had also lost the ability to expand.
The alien race is also known as the Nether Race. They are not carbon-based organisms. Their body shape is like a mutated octopus, with four eyes in front and back and eight tentacles. Not only do they have strong defenses, but they can also enter a virtual state, making them very difficult to deal with.
What’s terrifying is that these strange creatures also have their own civilization and are able to build large space battleships. The strongest ones can even fight against the Imperial Titan.
As of now, the Nether Clan controls twenty-seven star gates and five star clusters in the Taikoo Galaxy.
Although the territory they occupied was incomparable to that of the Empire, the endless stream of Netherworld Legions not only tied up most of the Empire's military power, but also created tremendous pressure on the Empire's border security.
Over the years, countless imperial warriors have sacrificed their lives in the battle against the invasion of the Nether Clan.
And this situation will continue, no one knows when the war will end!
The scientists of the Empire tried to figure out the origin of the Nether Clan, but unfortunately all efforts ended in failure. However, it is certain that they originally came from an undiscovered star gate.
It's just like……
Another invader from another world!
Wang Chen’s previous knowledge of alien races was very limited, but this time he obtained confidential information from the empire and was able to gain more information related to the Nether Race.
The planet Tempus, to which he was heading, had once fallen into the hands of the Nether Clan. Although it had now been recaptured, this planet of life had become a place of radiation where modern civilization could not exist.
The Empire suspected that the Nether Clan had carried out large-scale transformations on the planet Tempus to make it suitable for their own survival and habitation.
But this is just speculation and has no scientific basis.
In fact, the Nether Clan itself violates a lot of scientific common sense, making the empire fully aware of the complexity and diversity of the universe!
In addition, there is intelligence showing that there may still be some living humans on the planet Tempus.
When the Tempus star cluster was about to fall, the Empire launched an emergency evacuation operation on this life-bearing planet. Although most of the citizens were evacuated, there were still some people who were essentially abandoned.
Some people simply do not want to leave their hometowns and choose to continue fighting in their homeland.
It is unknown how many of those who stayed behind are still alive, because the communication between the Empire and Tempus has long been cut off, and it is estimated that the survivors are struggling to survive in the underground bases.
All in all, the current planet Tempus is like a chicken rib to the Empire. Giving it up means sacrificing so many soldiers in vain, but there is no way to repopulate and rebuild it, so it can only be left there and watched.
At least before the Nether Clan is completely expelled, it is impossible for the Empire to invest huge manpower and material resources to revitalize this planet.
"Major, we are about to arrive in the outer space of the planet Tempus."
A non-commissioned officer came to Wang Chen and said in a deep voice: "The landing craft will be launched in thirty minutes, please be ready."
Wang Chen nodded: "Got it."
Wang Chen is now on an Imperial New Sea-class frigate. The mission of this warship is to take him to the planet Tampas to carry out a landing search and rescue mission.
Of course, this mission was approved by the top leaders of the empire, which also demonstrated the power of the Xu family.
You have to know that Wang Chen is no small figure now. As the strongest superpower known in the empire, he has the attention of His Majesty the Emperor and is by no means a cannon fodder who can be sacrificed at will!
For such a dangerous mission, even if Wang Chen himself agreed, Xu Shaocheng had to pay a huge price to convince the imperial high-ranking officials.
Twenty minutes later, Wang Chen, wearing a new set of combat equipment, entered the landing craft.
Due to the special situation on the planet Tempus, he did not carry any electronic equipment. The combat uniform, weapons and life-support kit he wore were all specially customized.
Ten minutes later, the Xinhai-class frigate, which was already in the synchronous orbit of Tampas, launched a high-speed landing craft to the planet.
The landing craft carrying Wang Chen was falling towards the ground like a meteor. The hull and the thick atmosphere produced intense friction, and it finally made an emergency landing on a stretch of undulating high ground like a skipping stone.
The long shuttle-shaped bow plowed deep marks on the ground and only stopped after traveling for several thousand meters.
Thanks to its special design, it did not disintegrate due to the violent impact, perfectly protecting the passengers in the boat.
With the sound of the airtight door opening, Wang Chen jumped out.
The gravity of Tempus is not much different from that of Holy Light, so there is no problem in adapting. The natural environment on this planet is actually very good. 70% of the land area is covered by forests and grasslands, and the oxygen content is slightly higher than that of Holy Light.
So even without a filtering device, Wang Chen can still breathe and move freely.
He looked around, observing his surroundings.
On the surface, there doesn't seem to be any big difference between today's Tempus and other life-bearing planets. Although it has been occupied by the Nether Clan for a long time, the natural landscape is still there.
But Wang Chen noticed that the plants here not only grew particularly lushly, but also showed obvious trends of mutation.
The most important thing is that after landing, Wang Chen did not sense the existence of the source of the world, but an invisible energy fluctuation was silently affecting this life planet.
It made Wang Chen, who was in it, feel suppressed!
Wang Chen tried to expand his spiritual energy, but found that it was also suppressed, and the range of transmission was greatly reduced.
This weakened his power.
Fortunately, the Xinghai Ring can still be opened normally, and the supplies stored inside can be used at will.
Wang Chen sorted out the equipment he carried with him, then trudged forward into the distance.
He had only walked a few kilometers when he found a landing ship completely covered by vines.
The surface of this landing ship was severely corroded, but the number on the bow was still faintly visible. It was the ship that Xu Chengzhi used to land three months ago!
But it looks like it has been eroded by wind, frost, rain and snow for hundreds of years.
It’s a bit difficult to deal with.
Wang Chen thought secretly.

The first update is sent.
