"Alas, it truly is a case of 'if only we had known earlier,' isn't it? Thinking back, the things we said about the aliens, I feel rather ashamed. If we had established good relations with them sooner, we could have left this terrifying planet by now. Even if not with the aliens, if we had gotten along with the Tiangang clan, we might have been spared. At the very least, they could have sent our younger generations away from this dreadful planet, preserving some of our race's bloodline."
"What's the use of saying all this now? The spacecraft has already been built, and I can tell its technological level far surpasses that of our other races. Their departure from this planet is a certainty. Regret is futile. Instead, why don't we all head to the area where the Tiangang clan resides? Let's see if they left behind any precious materials. We can use their leftover materials to build a miniature spacecraft and send a small portion of our people away from this planet. That would be a significant gain for us."
Upon hearing this, the regional chat panel fell silent. Everyone knew that the most crucial task now was to gather the precious materials left behind by the Tiangang clan. After all, building a spacecraft requires immense resources. Even if only a small amount of materials remained, it would be incredibly useful to them.
On their planet, resources were everything, especially those for building spacecraft, which were extremely expensive and rare.
Thus, people from various races, coming from all directions, surged towards the area inhabited by the Tiangang clan. Their sole objective was to reach that region and collect the leftover materials.
The races closest to the Tiangang clan's territory naturally had a significant advantage. They found many materials and secured them. Those who arrived later, finding little to no spoils, resorted to conflict with other races to snatch some materials to take back.
Instantly, the area transformed into a battlefield. Countless high-tech weapons unleashed dazzling lights. People from all races were fighting for resources. The most intense struggle erupted within a warehouse containing a complete manufacturing system for high-tech weapons capable of producing 20,000 combat power, built by the Tiangang clan for Qin Feng. Everyone understood the implications: if they obtained this system and produced weapons for their people, they could engage more monsters on this planet and earn more money.
They could even challenge more powerful monsters, acquire stronger resources and equipment, and use money to purchase materials to build spacecraft. Following this logic, possessing this weapon system would essentially allow them to leave the planet, becoming the second race to depart after the Tiangang clan. Therefore, no one was willing to give up this weapon system. Any family that encountered it would rally their people to engage in conflict with the possessors.
Every race was determined to obtain this weapon system, as it represented their race's future and their hope.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng was speeding towards outer space aboard the spacecraft, completely unaware of what was happening below. He didn't know that the weapon system he left behind had already ignited wars among the various races. His only concern was to test whether the spacecraft could safely leave the planet.
Naturally, he hoped to leave. However, with his current cultivation at the Mahayana stage, his precognitive abilities, operating subconsciously, told him that this endeavor would not be smooth. They would encounter setbacks, ultimately leading to failure.
Qin Feng understood that his premonition would not be wrong, but he kept it to himself. He wanted to witness firsthand what kind of disaster would unfold, what power would appear before them to obstruct their escape, and bring down this high-tech spacecraft.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles." If the mastermind who teleported them to this planet revealed themselves, he could witness their power. This would be immensely beneficial for his future departure from this planet. As long as he could see the true face of the mastermind, he could formulate corresponding countermeasures.
Enemies fear most those who hide in dark corners. If he could force the opponent into the open, his chances of victory would greatly increase.
Before long, as the spacecraft's speed increased and its distance from the planet grew, a very peculiar force emerged from the void. This force was powerful yet strange. Only Qin Feng, with his current cultivation, could sense it. The aliens were completely unable to perceive it. Although the spacecraft was equipped with energy detection instruments, they remained blind to this force; it was impossible to detect.
This power originated from immortal energy, something beyond the scope of high-tech exploration. Qin Feng understood perfectly what this force signified, what that immense might implied.
Therefore, Qin Feng addressed the others on the spacecraft, saying, "Everyone, remain vigilant. Activate the spacecraft's shields. If we encounter impact, or if it feels like we cannot leave this planet, land immediately. Do not cause unnecessary casualties. I have other ways to leave this planet. Do not risk your lives, understand?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. The leader of the Tiangang clan, knowing the power of these aliens, understood that Qin Feng's caution was not unfounded. Although he didn't understand why Qin Feng was so apprehensive, he chose to obey. He immediately ordered his subordinates to activate the spacecraft's shields and set them to maximum. While this would consume the spacecraft's power, it would also allow them to withstand powerful attacks.
The spacecraft now appeared incredibly robust. Even if a meteor were to strike, they would likely emerge unscathed.
However, moments later, as they broke free from the planet's gravitational pull and successfully entered space, a dense, dark cloud rapidly enveloped the spacecraft. Subsequently, warning sounds and alerts echoed from within.
These were signs that the spacecraft was on the verge of collapse. Countless sirens blared, and everyone became extremely tense. The dark force had already begun to twist and deform the steel exterior of the spacecraft. This dark, cloud-like power seemed like an invisible hand, kneading the spacecraft. If the shields had not been activated beforehand, this force might have already crushed the spacecraft into dust.
Witnessing this situation, the leader of the Tiangang clan exclaimed in terror, "We are under attack! This dark cloud appeared from nowhere. This spacecraft won't last much longer. What should we do?"
After saying this, the leader of the Tiangang clan turned his gaze to Qin Feng, for in his eyes, this alien was like a savior.
