The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 242: Chapter 133: Epic Megastructure (Part 2)

In this giant screen, the image rises.

The first image is surprisingly a series of starships, which seem quite rudimentary compared to the modern ones, initiating a random jump beside the Ancestral Star, which is still in its normal Life Planet state.

In the history course of the Martial Abyss, Qin Jin had studied this lesson before.

That was the origin of everything.

The screen in the giant curtain switched rapidly, and each scene flickered in an instant before switching to the next, but with Qin Jin’s current eyesight, he could capture everything, collecting each image in his mind.

He saw researchers in the laboratory raising their hands in celebration.

He saw Federation warriors invigorated on the battlefield of an unknown planet, shouting victorious cheers.

He saw in the super manufacturing factory built on the Star Sea, the first Civilization Treasure-Level Mecha taking shape.

He saw wreckage scattered across the Star Sea; after a brutal battle, the gigantic divine body in the depths of the Star Sea stopped moving, turning completely silent.

Countless images alternated within the giant screen of the Star Sea, constantly changing.

The scenes varied in size, involving different regions and characters, featuring research and battlefields, from powerful figures within the Federation to ordinary soldiers.

“Very romantic, isn’t it?”

Gu Huang’s voice sounded.

“This giant structure has been named [Epic].”

“Because within it actually records the significant events experienced by our Starfire Federation, it’s an epic created by our predecessors in this vast Star Sea!”

“Qin Jin, being recorded here is also one of the highest honors of the Federation.”

Gu Huang lightly grasped, and the Ink Blade appeared in her hand.

She gazed at the giant structure with a long-lasting look.

“I hope one day, I and the sword in my hand can also become part of the [Epic].”

Qin Jin exhaled a long breath.

Seeing this scene in person, it is hard not to feel a surge of emotion.

He nodded slightly in agreement and said, “It is indeed very romantic.”

After a period of time, the images ceased, and the giant screen faded away.

Around them, starships resumed their movement.

Xuan Guang piloted the starship, approaching the ecological half of the Ancestral Star.

Upon truly entering the Ancestral Star, everything seemed rather ordinary instead.

Apart from the light curtain in the distance, separating the giant structure and the planet, everything within the Ancestral Star was relatively primitive, lacking truly scientific and technological metropolises; comparatively, it seemed more like a place for leisure and rest.

Qin Jin followed Gu Huang’s suggestion, combining work and leisure, gave himself a short vacation, and treated himself as a tourist visiting the Ancestral Star. Together, they visited the famous ancient relics preserved on the Ancestral Star to see the true historical records of the Federation.

Since embarking on the cultivation path, Qin Jin never slackened and pushed forward daily.

Now…

As this journey draws to a close, his mood becomes increasingly calm; though not cultivating, it felt like cultivating the heart, and his mind and spirit relaxed.

After staying on the Ancestral Star for several days, the two boarded their starship to embark on the return journey.

…

Thunder Star.

Everything was constructed systematically.

At this moment, Su Buqi stood with his hands behind his back on the sky, gazing at the text on the sky curtain with deep eyes.

After the Star God truly gestated on Thunder Star, the Federation deployed various measures; if any ultimate being approached, it would trigger alarms.

However, as the final participant in the annihilation God battle, some of the arrangements here were originally part of the Gui Xu Martial God’s design.

Therefore, his quiet visit this time went unnoticed by anyone.

Looking at those unknown characters, Su Buqi raised his palm, facing upwards, capturing strands of brilliance from the sky curtain’s text into his palm.

He focused earnestly, sensing in detail, “There indeed is some resonance.”

“Thunder Star…”

“Even if the final effect is minimal or unsuccessful, having a direction makes it worth advancing.”

Whispering to himself, Su Buqi turned his gaze toward the distant sky dome.

In his sight, it could be seen that inside Thunder Star, there was an Alternate Space attached, which was precisely the resting place of the Star God.

“Still asleep and absorbing; the true body has not awakened.”

The thought crossed his mind, and Su Buqi stepped out, his figure disappearing from Thunder Star.

“Plans can now be adjusted.”

…

Martial Abyss, Martial Arts Series.

As the mission period neared its end, students who went out for assignments gradually returned, bringing liveliness back to the academy.

At the moment.

In Han Miao’s villa, in the front yard, several people sat under the pavilion, sharing and discussing.

“Finally back.”

Xie Wuya leaned casually in a lounge chair, the chair creaking as he rubbed his face vigorously, “You have no idea what I’ve been through, it’s been so boring these days.”

“I think it was fine.”

Not far from him, Bai Huaiyu held a glass of juice, “Qin Jin’s hometown is quite interesting.”

“You went to Qin Jin’s hometown?”

Han Miao’s voice sounded.

Apart from the three of them, there were two more people in the yard.

Two S-Class Students, Chi Wenwu and Ji Tao, upon hearing Qin Jin’s name, looked over.

“Yeah, we were on a mission in Qin Jin’s hometown.”

Xie Wuya flexed his fist, “Qin Jin’s hometown is definitely not some Mining Star!”

“Although our mission briefing didn’t explicitly say, I observed the construction framework, and the planet’s uniqueness. Thunder Star is likely a planet in the process of ascending, a future Gaia Planet!”

Gaia!

The students present, who attended classes on Zhi Xia Star, naturally understood the meaning of Gaia and its significance.

“By the way, isn’t Qin Jin back yet?”

Xie Wuya cast a glance at the others, “I sent him a message after returning, but didn’t get a reply; what task did he go on?”

Upon hearing this.

Han Miao’s mental voice sounded, “Qin Jin and I were on the same task.”

“We completed the task very quickly, and after task settlement, Qin Jin left the academy with his mentor to cultivate.”

“Cultivation?”

Xie Wuya’s eyes widened slightly, “Sounds way more interesting than what I went through.”

“No idea when he’s coming back.”

While the few of them were conversing.

At the same time, their personal terminals rang with notification sounds, indicating new messages.

The group exchanged glances and checked together.

The message’s source was Candle Kite, a mass message for the academy students.

After checking it, those present showed varied expressions.

“Everyone’s seen it, right?”

Chi Wenwu’s voice sounded, “After the mission period ends, the academy will conduct the first ranking reshuffle.”

“Maybe we’ll have new S-Class classmates.”

“I’m more interested in the second part.”

Xie Wuya’s eyes bright, looking at the message displayed on the terminal, “Star Dome Limit-Breaking Cup.”

“This is a massive competition jointly held by various academies in the Corridor Star System, now we can have a grand battle!”

“Can you really?”

Beside him, Ji Tao, dressed in a skirt and T-shirt, spoke, “The academy only selects ten people from the school year for this; Xie Wuya, can you make the list?”

“Doesn’t matter if I can’t.”

Xie Wuya waved his hand, “Even if I can’t make the final list, I can have a nice fight within the academy.”

“As long as it doesn’t let me…”

He was about to continue.

Just then, the terminal vibrated with a notification sound.

He glanced down, eyes lighting up.

“Qin Jin has returned to the academy.”

“Oh?”

Han Miao’s voice sounded, “Qin Jin will definitely take one spot; Xie Wuya, your chances have decreased.”

Xie Wuya seemingly didn’t mind, waving his hand dismissively.

“With the Star Dome Limit-Breaking Cup selection approaching, Qin Jin probably won’t have an easy time this round.”

Chi Wenwu’s eyes flashed with contemplation, “He is the first Innate of our year, distancing himself from others, but precisely because of this, during past academy studies, no one sparred with him.”

“But now…”

“With the mission period ending, he certainly is no longer the only Innate Realm in this class.”

“By then, there’ll indeed be things to watch.”

“There are quite a few students aiming to claim the top position in the same year.”

Beside, some nodded in agreement.

Han Miao sat next to him, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

Simultaneously.

The starship landed, and the hatch opened.

Qin Jin stepped out, breathing in the familiar air of Zhi Xia Star, intertwining his hands, stretching, with a touch of emotion in his eyes.

“After a period of cultivation, returning to the academy.”

Gu Huang didn’t leave with him.

Qin Jin himself took an academy vehicle back to his residence and checked the terminal information on the way.

“Star Dome Limit-Breaking Cup.”

“Is this the grand event Master Gu mentioned?”
