After reading the contents, his brow furrowed slightly.
The situation was more severe than he had imagined.
According to the scans from the Empire's reconnaissance probes, a number of monsters that had reached the level of Ninth-level Life Forms had already appeared on this planet.
The most threatening among them was a Starry Sky Giant Beast designated as the "Star Devourer" in the Imperial Database.
This creature was extremely similar to life forms like the Mechanical Race and the Insect Race, capable of growing and evolving by devouring any and all inorganic matter.
Rocks, soil, metal... all were its food.
If it managed to devour rare, special metals, its growth rate would increase exponentially.
The Star Devourer currently entrenched on Blue Star was still only a juvenile, but its life force index was already around ninety thousand.
Besides the Star Devourer, the report also listed various other strange Ninth-level Life Forms, including giant monsters lurking in the deep sea and towering, ancient trees rooted in the earth, as tall as mountain ranges.
But none of them were nearly as threatening as the Star Devourer, which could destroy the planet's entire ecosystem from its very foundation.
"Captain,"
the team member wearing Fire Dragon Warband power armor said in a low voice, "The most difficult problem right now is this Star Devourer.
Its existence has already severely destabilized Blue Star's crust, triggering global earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
If we don't deal with this thing first, any subsequent efforts to spread the Martial Dao will be impossible. This civilization itself might even be completely wiped out in a short period of time."
He paused, a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"The ten of us together might be able to hold our own against it for a while, but I'm afraid... we're no match for this juvenile Star Devourer."
The meaning behind his words was clear: this was the toughest nut to crack, and they couldn't handle it. Only the captain, a planetary-level powerhouse, could step in.
If he killed this thing, all the spoils would naturally go to Qin Feng; they wouldn't interfere in the slightest.
"Mm..."
Qin Feng closed the file, already having a good grasp of the situation.
He pondered for a moment before asking, "Have you made contact with Blue Star's official organizations?"
"Not yet."
Another team member immediately responded, "According to our intel, Blue Star's highest governing body is called the 'Blue Star Federation,' and its leadership is the 'Supreme Chief Council,' composed of Blue Star's five strongest humans. Among them, the Chief with the highest life force index only has 127 points."
"It's worth mentioning,"
he added, "they have not mastered a systematic method for opening and closing apertures. The way they increase their strength is by using high-tech gravity devices to ferociously push their physical potential to its limits. Although this method can achieve some results in the early stages, it leaves the body with numerous hidden injuries. They've hit a dead end on their path."
"Understood."
Qin Feng nodded. A complete plan had already formed in his mind.
He looked at the ten team members and said in a heavy tone, "My plan is for you to first make contact with the Blue Star Federation and state our identity and purpose.
After receiving their permission, I will then make my move and slay the Star Devourer, as well as any other prey that poses a significant threat to the civilization.
Afterward, we will peacefully disseminate the Martial Dao and Spiritual Technology, which will make it easier for you to manage this place for the next hundred years."
"What do you all think?"
"Sounds good!"
"Agreed!"
"We'll follow the captain's orders!"
No one had any objections.
The plan was sound and efficient, avoiding unnecessary conflict to the greatest extent possible.
After all, they still had to stay here for a hundred years.
"Good."
Qin Feng gave the order. "Then, begin immediately. In the name of an Imperial Envoy, send the first contact message to the Blue Star Federation."
At the same time Qin Feng's squad was sending its first contact message to Blue Star...
「Blue Star.」
Inside a massive fortress built from the strongest alloys and hidden ten thousand meters underground.
This was the supreme power center of the Blue Star Federation.
Inside a spacious and solemn circular conference hall, five figures sat around a massive round table.
They were the highest decision-making body of the Blue Star Federation—the five Chiefs of the "Supreme Chief Council."
All five were burly and resolute, exuding the iron-blooded aura of battle-hardened veterans.
They were this civilization's top Martial Artists, the last Guardians and the final hope for seven billion humans.
At this moment, however, their faces were etched with an unshakable solemnity and exhaustion.
"Sigh..."
A white-haired old man sitting in the head seat slowly began to speak, his voice hoarse and heavy. He was the strongest of the five, codenamed "Bedrock."
"These damned Earth Caves... they're like a wound on our civilization that will never heal, constantly spewing out all kinds of ferocious beasts. The beasts appearing now have reached a level of strength far beyond what our technology can handle."
His words made the atmosphere in the conference hall even more oppressive.
Across from him, a one-armed, middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his face slammed his fist on the table, producing a dull THUD.
He was the Chief codenamed "Thunder," known for his fiery temper and ferocity in battle.
"Especially that SSS-class behemoth, codenamed 'Leviathan'! Last month, we used over three hundred strategic nuclear warheads in a saturation bombing against it. And the result?!"
His eyes were filled with indignation and rage. "The result was that not only did it not die, but it actually withstood the blast! It could even... even devour the energy from the nuclear explosions to strengthen itself! According to the post-battle assessment, after it devoured those nuclear warheads, its power has likely broken through its original limits and reached a level we've never encountered before... SSSS-class!"
