Chapter 440 Parallel Universe
The Roland Star embassy on Tarot Star is quite large, and there are many similar buildings nearby, likely embassies built by other planets. However, these buildings are stylistically diverse, highlighting the unique cultures of their respective planets. The Roland Star embassy is rather ornate, and its architectural style is somewhat similar to Queen Raymond's palace, which Li Chenglong visited earlier. As soon as he entered, he sensed several strong energy sources, all Roland Star warriors at late level 12 and early level 13.
Jasmine led the group inside, and soon a beautiful and graceful Roland alien dressed as a military officer emerged, accompanied by two capable guards. Jasmine bowed slightly and said with a smile, "Your Highness Princess Nina, it's been a long time. This is Mr. Li Chenglong from Earth, and those five are Cynthia, the captain of Princess Sera's personal guard, and four other members."
Li Chenglong stepped forward and said in a humble yet assertive manner, "Your Highness Princess Nina, I am Li Chenglong from China on Earth. I have come to the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance because void creatures have also appeared in our region. Therefore, with the introduction of three representatives from the Interstellar Alliance, I have come here specifically to try to find a way to deal with the void creatures."
Nina smoothed her long, waist-length, sky-blue hair and adjusted her hat before saying, "I've received reports from my second sister and our planet regarding your situation. Void creatures are the enemy of our entire galaxy. During your stay on Tarot Star, all the staff at the embassy and I will provide you with our full assistance."
Li Chenglong bowed slightly: "Thank you very much for your understanding and support, Your Highness Nina." Nina stepped forward and took Li Chenglong's hand: "Come on, let's go inside and talk. There are many delicacies on Tarot Star. We can savor them slowly and chat as we eat. This afternoon, I will personally take you to the Interstellar Alliance headquarters."
The group ate and chatted, enjoying a pleasant midday. Princess Nina was incredibly approachable and lively, somewhat like a more dignified version of Han Xiaoling; it was hard to believe she was over fifty. However, on Roland, one is generally considered an adult at 160 years old, so by human proportions, Princess Nina would be around seven or eight. But that's not the only way to calculate it, as Princess Nina has truly lived through over fifty cosmic years.
Jasmine chimed in, “Your Highness Nina, besides assisting Li Chenglong in his mission within the Interstellar Alliance, I have come here to convey an order from Her Majesty the Queen. Her Majesty commands you to return and continue governing in your assigned territory, while the ambassadorial duties here will be entrusted to me. Of course, the Queen has also stated that this is not a mandatory order; you may choose to remain as you are. Furthermore, both the First Princess and the Fourth Princess have asked me to convey their feelings of longing to you.”
Princess Nina nodded: "Alright then, after you complete your mission, I'll hand over the duties to you and then return to our home planet. To be honest, after staying here for five years, I'm starting to miss Roland. As for my sisters, I'll visit them in person when I get back."
In the afternoon, Nina, along with Li Chenglong, Jasmine, and others, boarded a special train to the Interstellar Alliance headquarters located in the center of the continent. They didn't use a spaceship because flying objects were not allowed to pass through the Interstellar Alliance headquarters or its surrounding area. Furthermore, Nina wanted to learn more about Earth, so she chose the special train.
The train was moving very fast. Li Chenglong knew from his watch that they had arrived at the Interstellar Alliance headquarters station in less than two hours. Led by Nina, Li Chenglong and Jasmine quickly entered the headquarters building. Cynthia and the others did not come along; they had already completed their mission and would return to Roland with Princess Nina.
The headquarters building of the Interstellar Alliance was magnificent; Li Chenglong estimated it to be at least nearly a thousand meters tall, and its overall area was also enormous. Princess Nina, along with two guards, Li Chenglong, and Jasmine, a total of five people, took an elevator to the fiftieth floor of the headquarters building.
There were already staff members waiting to greet him. After learning Li Chenglong's identity, they led him to a large hall inside. Li Chenglong saw many huge screens, each broadcasting a different scene. Below the screens were many control panels where some strangely shaped aliens were operating them.
Princess Nina, Li Chenglong, and Jasmine walked over and saw three aliens standing together, looking at a dozen small screens in front of them, seemingly talking about something. Li Chenglong noticed that one of the aliens was a tree with legs and feet, one looked like Squidward, and the other was a catgirl.
Nina began, “Mr. Guedes, this is Li Chenglong from the third planet of the Milky Way galaxy on the galactic frontier. These three are the three main leaders of the Interstellar Alliance Void Creature Countermeasures Committee: Mr. Guedes, Mr. Miraru, and Ms. Lily.”
The three exchanged a glance. Guedes reached out a hand that resembled a tree branch and gently touched Li Chenglong. After a dozen seconds, he nodded slightly and said, "Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect humans to have such high potential. They were able to gain their current strength in such a short time."
Then he said to Nina, "Princess Nina, and Miss Jasmine, let's find somewhere else to talk. It's quite chaotic here because we have to deal with most of the void creatures."
The group arrived at a clean and bright office. Nina asked first, "Three leaders, I heard yesterday that the Void Creature Countermeasures Committee has made a new discovery, possibly finding a real solution to them. Is this news true?"
Miraru extended its slippery tentacles, touched its bald head, and replied, "We have indeed made a major discovery. After continuous analysis using detectors deployed in different star systems, we have finally discovered where the void creatures come from. We can now be 100% certain that they came from a parallel universe, crossing the dimensional barrier."
“Parallel universes?!” Nina exclaimed. “I’ve heard of this concept before, but it wasn’t confirmed. Does this mean the existence of parallel universes is now definitively established?”
Catgirl Lily licked her slightly furry hand and replied, "Yes, that's for sure. That explains why void creatures can appear almost anywhere in the galaxy. However, they are currently carrying out their main activities at the center of the galaxy."
Jasmine nodded and then asked, "So, the three of you, have you found any solutions yet? Now that you know where they came from, you should have some countermeasures, right?"
Guedes shook his head: "No, although space technology has been widely applied to our lives, we have not yet mastered the technology to break through dimensions. Although some powerful beings with the ability to travel through dimensions have appeared in the long flow of time in the Milky Way, most of them have passed away one after another, so we do not have any effective methods at present."
Before Nina could speak, Li Chenglong stood up and said in interstellar language, "I can use dimensional travel!" Without waiting for anyone's reaction, he opened the dimensional barrier right in front of them and reappeared on the other side. This scene nearly made everyone, including Nina, drop their jaws in astonishment. Although Princess Nina had received reports from Earth before, she hadn't expected Li Chenglong to be able to traverse dimensional space so easily.
Guedes exclaimed in surprise, "It's not space jump or space travel, it's dimensional travel! The key is that it opened the dimensional space so quickly!" As he spoke, he took a few steps forward, grabbed Li Chenglong's arm tightly with his branch-like hands, and said excitedly, "With you, we have hope!"
The three then went outside, saying they were going to hold a meeting of the Interstellar Alliance's Void Creature Countermeasures Committee to discuss how to deal with the Void Creatures. Li Chenglong, Jasmine, and Princess Nina were then led by a special person to a resting place for a short rest.
