Chapter 183 - 183: Colony Planet
“It’s gone hunting and hasn’t returned yet. Let’s go up first.” Wang Ye said to the two of them.
Lin Yuewei’s beautiful eyes flickered as she hummed.
She knew Wang Ye’s complete plan.
He had to be extremely careful and not make any mistakes.
Wang Ye only had one chance, but for Blue Planet, wasn’t that the case as well?
If Wang Ye failed this time, it might take decades or even centuries for someone capable of breaking the situation to appear on Blue Planet again.
At the same time, the high-grade cosmic civilization would’ve also strengthened their defenses, making the cage more secure.
They soared.
At an altitude of no kilometers, the dense energy grid was shocking.
Feeling the majestic energy aura, Wang Ye’s eyes were bright like torches, and his heart was calm.
Completely different from the first time he discovered the energy grid, this time, he was fully prepared.
They didn’t have to wait too long.
Whoosh!
A huge object soared into the sky like a pillar. Its branches were luxuriant and its aura was huge.
It was the cosmic-level Australian tree demon.
Did you catch him?” Lin Yuewei said.
Wang Ye laughed. “That guy has plundered several Lone Ranger factions. After he broke through, he became insufferably arrogant. He didn’t put others in his eyes at all. He was having a good time in his encampment.”
A question mark appeared above Lin Hao’s head.
“It’s a perfection Evolver from the Lone Ranger faction, Ortner. He’s evil and ambitious,” Lin Yuewei said to her brother. “He was captured by Wang Ye to be a lab rat.”
“How?” Lin Hao was stunned.
“The Australian Tree Demon has already severely injured him and swallowed him. You can’t sense his aura now,” Wang Ye said. “But he’s still alive.”
“You want the Australian Tree Demon to bring him through the energy grid, right?” Lin Hao quickly reacted.”
“You’re smart. Red light mechanism 3 is just speculation,” Wang Ye praised. “In fact, it has never been triggered by anyone, so we need more detailed experimental data.”
Lin Hao looked at Wang Ye. After a while, he said, “You’re so careful…”
Ta!
Lin Yuewei knocked Lin Hao’s head. “This isn’t being careful. It’s being well-planned and steady.”
“Is there any difference…” Lin Hao muttered to himself.
In fact, he admired Wang Ye. If it were him, he would not be so careful in such a situation where the opportunity was right in front of him.
“Because the cost of trial and error is too low.” Wang Ye sighed softly.
In the past year, he had simulated the situation many times and considered all kinds of possible situations, preparing for the best and worst.
As he spoke, the Australian Tree Demon’s branch had already touched the energy grid.
Zi~
As if he had been electrocuted, Wang Ye’s spirit shook violently. An invisible strand of energy peeked at the Australian Tree Demon and detected its life force.
There was no obstruction. The other party did not attack!
After its presence as a cosmic-level life force was determined, the Australian Tree Demon passed through the invisible energy grid as if the grid did not exist.
But at that moment, Wang Ye’s heart skipped a beat.
An invisible energy grid appeared in the Australian Tree Demon’s body. It was dense as it engulfed the tree demon entirely. It was transparent, but it was as if a special ray had pierced through the Australian Tree Demon’s body, revealing everything inside.
This included the perfection Evolver who had lost consciousness, Ortner!
Swoosh!
A red light suddenly descended.
Lin Yuewei covered her lips in shock, and Lin Hao’s eyes widened.
Wang Ye stared at the red light.
Penetrating!
The red light landed on the Australian Tree Demon and penetrated it instantly.
Then, the human within the tree demon disappeared in an instant.
The red light didn’t take the Australian Tree Demon away, but it did take Ortner, who was inside the Australian Tree Demon’s body. The other party simply disappeared strangely.
Wang Ye’s expression was solemn as he looked in the direction where the red light disappeared. Then, he completed the last step.
Swoosh!
The Australian Tree Demon’s huge body passed through the energy grid and was unharmed.
Controlling the Australian Tree Demon with the Spirit Spell, Wang Ye looked at the boundless cosmic and then back at the energy grid-covered Blue Planet. He wandered around for a while and felt the ease of not being watched.
There were no other restrictions.
There was no heavenly tribulation or destruction, nor the red light mechanism
4, 5, or 6…
“I see.” Wang Ye controlled the Australian Tree Demon to pass through the energy grid again and return to Blue Planet.
In his heart, he had a rough idea.

Moon Base looked like a giant sphere with its white metal floor and circular sealed space. All kinds of equipment were operating in an orderly manner, displaying various data.
There were many spacecraft around, most of them empty, but in some, a few humans lay as if they were hibernating.
Outside, a man wearing a holographic helmet emerged from the virtual cosmic. The helmet slowly rose away from the man’s head, revealing the man’s well-defined face that was filled with displeasure.
Munro Jose, the person in charge of the base.
“Supervisor, another candidate has arrived from Colony Planet 996.” The assistant respectfully handed over the information.
“Ortner, 35 years old, a perfection level 1 genetic warrior?” Munro Jose frowned. “Brain Expansion Rate 50%, 1-star Combat Prowess, and 1-star Potential Value. How did this trash get here?”
The two of them were using the cosmic human common language.
“The Hongqi Supernet is getting more and more unreliable. The last time it screened out a 1-star trash, and now another one!” Munro Jose was getting increasingly displeased.
“The previous one, Supervisor, was an ability user with 2-star Combat Prowess and 2-star Potential Value,” The assistant corrected.
“What’s the difference? They’re all trash!” Munro Jose scribbled his signature on the document. “Imprint the slave mark and send him to the mineral star!”
“Yes, Supervisor.” The assistant put away the file.
“The quality is getting worse. “Munro Jose shook his head. “The first two were pretty good, especially the second one. A 6-star Potential Value is considered outstanding among all the colonized planets. Although the third one only had 4-star Potential Value, she caught the eye of Lady Sparrow Princess and we got to sell her for a good price. How is the first candidate doing?”
The assistant checked and reported, “After passing the military camp test, he entered the ancient battlefield of the Milky Way and has participated in three battles against the demon race. He has accumulated battle achievements and has been promoted to captain. He’s currently still alive.”
“Not bad.” Munro Jose nodded in satisfaction.
The more outstanding the candidate was, the more he would earn.
Otherwise, it would just be a waste of time.
“The new cosmic monsters are already on the way.” The assistant continued. “The human development on Colony Planet 996 is a little fast. Do we need to apply for the investigation authority of the Hongqi Supernet?”
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Just run a normal inspection in 100 cosmic days.” Munro Jose reached out to his assistant.
They exchanged daily “work” matters. Nothing important.
Although they were in charge of a colony planet, the Hongqi Supernet was mainly responsible for the selection.
Their main task was to maintain and manage the planet daily, as well as to send candidates with different Combat Prowess and Potential Value to other planets.
The rules could not be overstepped.
Five minutes later.
If there’s nothing else, you can leave.” Munro Jose had a righteous look on his face. He pressed a button, and the holographic helmet in the sky slowly descended back onto his head.
He was busy flirting with a beauty, who was much prettier than his assistant. Life was about enjoyment, and it was the same whether these trivial matters were managed or not.
“By the way, Supervisor, the Colony Inspector has finished inspecting Colony Planet 991 and will arrive here soon.” The assistant tidied up her messy clothes.
Got it.” Munro Jose put on the holographic helmet and continued to roam the virtual cosmic.
Only the virtual world could make him feel endless happiness.
In the sky above Blue Planet, Wang Ye pondered as he watched the Australian Tree Demon return.
Lin Yuewei and Lin Hao didn’t disturb him. They just stood quietly at the side.
From his expression, they could tell that he had failed. Needless to say, they had witnessed the descent of the red light as well.
“It’s fine. It’s just a small problem,” Seeing the two of them eager to know, Wang Ye said. “The penetrative power of the energy grid is too strong. Even though Ortner was hiding in the body of the Australian Tree Demon, he was still taken away by the red light.”
Because he was controlling the Australian Tree Demon with his mind, he knew the entire process.
It was as if the other party had been teleported away. It was exactly the same as Yao and Brother Xia from before.
The technology of the high-grade cosmic civilization was beyond imagination.
“Then what should we do?” Lin Hao’s head felt a little swollen.
Since deceit wouldn’t work, how could they crack the energy grid?
“How about controlling the Australian Tree Demon to the Moon Base and then thinking of a way to destroy Moon Web?” Lin Yuewei suggested.
It’s not the best solution,” Wang Ye said. “Moon Web isn’t that easy to destroy. The Moon Base must have defensive measures. If the cosmic monsters can destroy Moon Web once they break through, the Moon Base would be too fragile.”
Lin Yuewei nodded.
The Australian Tree Demon was not that strong either.
“Is there any other way?” Lin Hao looked at Wang Ye.
Wang Ye nodded. “The energy grid itself is made up of energy. It detected the Australian Tree Demon through energy and found Ortner’s consciousness through energy as well. There are two ways to pass through the energy grid, one is to break through and become a cosmic-level life force, and the other is to destroy it with cosmic-level energy.”
“You previously deduced red light mechanism 3,” Lin Yuewei said.” Once energy beyond the cosmic level is used and the energy grid is destroyed, the perpetrator will be taken away by the red light.”
“The cosmic monsters won’t, nor the demonic humans,” Wang Ye said.” The red light mechanism only targets humans.”
“But can the Australian Tree Demon do it?” Lin Yuewei looked over.
“It’ll be difficult.” Wang Ye knew the Australian Tree Demon’s ability very well.
“But we can try.”
Strengthening!
Energy infusion.
Wang Ye controlled the Australian Tree Demon to crash into the energy grid. In an instant, there was a loud bang, and the grid energy shook violently.
Layers of ripples spread out. The collision visibly damaged the energy grid, but the surrounding energy instantly repaired it.
“It won’t work.” Wang Ye had guessed this result.
The Australian Tree Demon was not good at attacking. Still, from the attack just now, he roughly knew the strength of the energy grid.
“Can you do it?” Lin Yuewei looked at Wang Ye.
“With stage 5 combat energy and the stage 5 Nine Qi Saber Control Technique, it’s enough.” Wang Ye knew very well.
“No,” Lin Hao shook his head. “If you trigger the red light mechanism, you’re done for. Leave it to me.”
Wang Ye’s heart warmed and he couldn’t help but smile. “By the time you have the strength to break the energy grid, it will take at least three to five years.”
Lin Yuewei’s beautiful crescent-moon-like eyes flickered. “Are you going to him?”
“Yes,” Wang Ye nodded.” He’s the only one who can help me now.”
“Who?” Lin Hao was surprised.
“Death God Nante..”
