Dragon Transformation in the Apocalypse

Chapter 520 Re-entering the Interstellar Alliance

After everything was set up, Li Chenglong went to the Sea Emperor's restaurant. They had set off very early that morning, and neither Li Chenglong nor Jin Mengfei had eaten breakfast. Now that everything was settled, he prepared to make something to eat.

Jin Mengfei was busy in the kitchen, but since she didn't know how to use many of the things there, she was only doing simple tasks like chopping vegetables.

Li Chenglong went into the kitchen, took the cleaver from her, and began quickly slicing the alien beast beef. Although the Sea Emperor had fully automated cooking robots, allowing customers to simply order at the restaurant and enjoy delicious meals shortly afterward, Li Chenglong preferred the feeling of cooking himself. At home, if he had nothing else to do, he would usually cook for himself.

While washing vegetables, Jin Mengfei said, "Brother Li, I finally understand what you meant yesterday when you said we might never come back. Have we come to another world? Is this the world you were originally in?"

Li Chenglong was surprised that she was quite clever and had already figured it out, so he said, "Yes, this is the world I live in. People like Zhao Liying, Han Xiaoling, Zhao Rui, and Wang Bing, whom you met before, are all in this world. But I have a mission to complete right now. We'll be able to see them when we return to Earth."

Li Chenglong had expected Jin Mengfei to feel melancholy or uncomfortable, but to his surprise, she didn't show any particular reaction. After a while, she said, "Brother Li, do you have any information about this world? Since I've come to a brand new world, I want to learn about it, and I want to start from the very basics."

Li Chenglong nodded: "Good, being willing to learn is better than anything else. There is a study on the Sea Emperor with all kinds of learning materials, and they can all be automatically translated. The language you use is the same as ours, so you can learn without any obstacles. If you don't understand anything, the study also has artificial intelligence to answer your questions."

After the meal was prepared, the two ate and chatted. Li Chenglong told her a lot about the situation in this world, and Jin Mengfei then learned what mission Li Chenglong was going to carry out.

At the speed of the Sea Emperor, even with multiple jumps and space travels, it would still take more than two months to reach the Interstellar Alliance. During these two months, Li Chenglong planned to take a good rest and work hard to refine himself, so as to fully master and integrate his abilities.

Now that he was in his own world, Li Chenglong stopped hiding things and gave Jin Mengqi many things she had never seen before, including the Noah 02 crystal laptop.

The Noah 02 Crystal Laptop boasts superior specifications and more powerful functions, yet it's 30% lighter and 20% thinner than the 01, and its size is reduced by 25%. However, since we're in space, we can't use Dawn City's Crystal Network; we can only use the Poseidon's intranet.

Through this extremely powerful crystal laptop, Jin Mengqi learned a lot about Dawn City, and thus understood many things about Li Chenglong.

Using the Apocalypse search engine built into Crystal Networks, one could find detailed information about Li Chenglong, from his birth date to everything after the apocalypse. Jin Mengqi, like a curious child, spent all her time, except for eating and resting, greedily absorbing all sorts of knowledge.

Li Chenglong said with a smile, "Once we return to Dawn City, you can do whatever you want. All industries in Dawn City are developing well now. You can work in government agencies, or some other organizations, or join the army, or even participate in some entertainment programs as an actor or singer. All of these are possible."

Jin Mengqi thought for a moment and said, "I haven't decided yet, but with my personality, it definitely wouldn't be good for me to work in a government agency or other public institution. I really want to sing, and I want to become a singer!"

Li Chenglong expressed his support: "That's good too. Your voice is very nice. If you pair it with a song that suits you, you will definitely be popular. I know a good agent who has a whole team. You can give it a try."

"Really? Thank you so much!" Jin Mengqi said excitedly. Li Chenglong waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing and not worth mentioning.

Seventy days passed, and the Sea Emperor finally arrived at Taro Star, the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance. Upon learning that he was from Earth in the Milky Way galaxy, a leader at the space station personally arranged an express train for him and Jin Mengqi, allowing them to reach the Interstellar Alliance headquarters as quickly as possible.

Upon arriving at headquarters, Li Chenglong contacted Geddes, one of the three heads of the Void Creature Countermeasures Committee. However, Geddes explained that his committee members were currently attending a meeting on another planet and would not be back for two days, so they could not receive him at the moment.

Since the person wasn't there, there was nothing they could do for the time being; they would have to stay there for a couple of days. After thinking it over, Li Chenglong brought Jin Mengqi to the Roland Star Embassy in the Interstellar Alliance, hoping to find lodging there.

When Jasmine, the ambassador of Roland Star, heard that Li Chenglong had arrived, she personally went out to greet him. She had been saddened for a long time after learning that Li Chenglong had disappeared in the Big Bang along with hundreds of millions of void creatures, but now that Li Chenglong was alive and well in front of her, she was overjoyed.

Jasmine quickly ushered Li Chenglong and Jin Mengqi into the embassy, ​​bombarding him with questions that left him speechless. Half an hour later, after Li Chenglong's explanation, Jasmine understood the whole story and realized that not only Earth, but the entire solar system was in crisis.

After gathering her thoughts, Jasmine began, "Back then, you and Mr. Guedes led the fleet on a mission. After you disappeared in the explosion, Guedes personally searched that region of space for ten days before stopping. Then we informed your Earth. But after that, contact was inexplicably cut off. We even sent people there, but we couldn't find them anywhere."

Having said that, she reached out and summoned a magnificently decorated spear. The spear immediately caught Li Chenglong's attention. The reason was simple: this spear contained immense power, no less than his own Emperor Sword.

Jasmine handed the halberd to Li Chenglong with both hands, smiling as she said, "After learning of your disappearance, Lord Li, our Empress was absolutely certain that you were not dead and would reappear before us. This halberd was forged by our Empress using all the resources of Roland Star and with reference to your traditional Chinese weapons. More importantly, the forging process was personally carried out by our Empress."

Li Chenglong had always been troubled by the fact that his Emperor Sword was not very suitable for the battlefield, but this spear could solve the problem. He would then be able to use different weapons in different combat environments and unleash his strongest combat capabilities.

Although Li Chenglong was very tempted, he couldn't accept something so precious without having done anything right.

He shook his head: "This thing is too valuable, I can't accept it. Although I don't have much knowledge, I can tell that this spear is made of dimensional alloy, the rarest material in the universe. According to my teacher Lena, this dimensional alloy is extremely difficult to obtain. It often requires many rare materials to be smelted thousands of times to produce, and it also requires a large amount of high-grade crystals. This spear is made entirely of dimensional alloy, so its value is unimaginable."

Jasmine smiled and nodded: "You're right, the cost of this spear is roughly equivalent to 50 years of income for our Roland Star. But Her Majesty the Queen also said that Lord Li, you went to fight the void creatures for the sake of all the people in the universe, and only you could have accomplished this feat. Helping you now is helping our Roland Star, so please accept it."

Li Chenglong accepted the spear with both hands. The spear was crafted from a single piece of dimensional alloy, exceeding two meters in length. Its body was entirely vermilion, adorned with golden dragon patterns, giving it a magnificent appearance. The spearhead was predominantly black, with only the blade being the bright silver of the dimensional alloy itself.

Li Chenglong wanted to give them a try, but they were inside the embassy, ​​and the environment didn't allow him to do so. He said to Jasmine, "Ambassador, I can't express my gratitude in words right now; I can only prove it through my actions in the future. Once the crisis in the solar system is over, I will definitely go to Roland Star to personally thank Queen Raymond."

Jin Mengfei, standing to the side, looked at the imposing spear and asked, "Ambassador Jasmine, does this spear have a name yet?" Jasmine smiled and said, "Not yet. It only had a code name during its manufacture. According to Her Majesty the Queen, Lord Li will personally name it."

Li Chenglong thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it Galaxy Gun, to drive away the void creatures and welcome the brilliant galaxy." Jasmine frowned, "Doesn't it feel a bit lacking in grandeur?" Jin Mengfei said, "I feel that the name doesn't have to be too lofty or grand, but it also can't be too ordinary. How about Shattering Star Gun?"

After some discussion, the three unanimously decided to name the gun the Starry Sky Gun. Since there was still plenty of time before Guedes and the others returned, and Jasmine wanted to extend as much hospitality as possible, she didn't bring any guards and instead invited Li Chenglong and Jin Mengfei out for dinner by herself.
