Chapter 1710: Chapter 544: Advice from the God (6k)_3
"Stay here, or go to some planet, or even to the starry sky, it’s all fine."
For these questions, Bai Yi had actually prepared answers when bringing Fei back, but due to various unexpected events, only now did they have the chance to be revealed.
However, once presented with the choice, Fei hesitated. After pondering for a moment, she decisively said:
"I wish to go to the starry sky, to follow by your side!"
"Hmm? Actually...
Forget it, that’s good too. Since that’s the case, you can follow me for now."
Bai Yi had been about to explain that she didn’t have only one avatar, and following her wouldn’t necessarily require going to the starry sky, but after a second thought, she agreed.
By now, Fei had completely transformed into a witch, using her transcendent power as a cover. As long as she didn’t actively use divine arts, all the power of faith would remain well hidden.
Even if she boarded the warships of the Three Great Civilizations, her identity as a believer would not be exposed.
After all, she herself had mastered the power of faith, bearing a divine position, and was even the Lord of Red Moon worshiped by numerous believers of the Red Moon Church.
In this regard, she had considerable authority as someone who regularly boarded the flagships of the Three Great Civilizations and openly researched those warning devices.
Moreover, she had recently been studying the remnants of the "Sequence Divine Envoys" within the warship, also utilizing the power of faith.
With a specially-designed laboratory for cover, as long as high-tier large-scale destructive divine arts weren’t employed, she wouldn’t be exposed.
On the contrary, conducting research directly on the battlefield allowed her to verify her findings immediately.
She herself could also personally participate in the experiments with her own strength.
Since there was little risk and the research was beneficial, she had no reason to refuse.
"Let’s go, since you’ve chosen to go to the starry sky, there’s no time to delay. Let’s first select the personnel you’ll need."
Having locked onto a coordinate within the network, Bai Yi promptly teleported with Fei to a chapel within the territory.
Even when bringing people back to the territory, Bai Yi had been preparing the personnel and resources needed for the research.
At this time, a group of witches was already on standby within the chapel.
Personally selecting a group of witches as researchers and gathering all the resources required for the research, Bai Yi led the group back through a Teleportation Gate to the warship in the New Star Zone.
Since the warship was controlled by the undead, the internal chambers could be freely reshaped and remodeled, making it easier to create a suitable laboratory.
Moreover, she herself might join the research anytime. Conveniently, her previous laboratory was already dedicated to studying "Sequence Divine Envoys," so the equipment was suitable and just needed some expansion to be used directly.
Bai Yi decided not to prepare a new laboratory from scratch, instead repurposing her original one for modifications.
After all, security was paramount.
Even though it sounded straightforward, Bai Yi remained vigilant.
She personally monitored the entire remodeling process within the network, especially the parts meant to isolate the power of faith.
She was determined not to let the Three Great Civilizations discover her secret research on the power of faith.
Only after arranging the laboratory, ensuring the isolation of the power of faith, did Bai Yi exit the network, turning to the slightly impatient Fei beside her.
"Fei, the main structure of the laboratory is ready for you. The internal layout is now up to you."
"Rest assured, Your Highness. Today, I’ll organize all the currently available technology and data!"
Fei earnestly promised.
For a witch focused on research like her, Bai Yi felt reassured.
Without further instructions, she returned directly to the warship’s main control room.
Although bringing Fei back to the territory had involved several unexpected events, including resolving issues and arranging the laboratory, only a little over two hours had passed since she left the battlefield.
Gazing out of the observation window, the remnants of the earlier battle still drifted in space, with several small vessels navigating and cleaning up.
Further away, occasional twinkling lights seemed to chase something.
Apparently, the war had just ended recently.
"During my absence, was there anything unusual on the battlefield? Particularly within the church fleet?"
Resuming her seat, Bai Yi skimmed network records while directly asking.
Having captured Fei earlier, she hadn’t participated in the entire battle, withdrawing from the battlefield after capturing enough of the Insect Clan.
According to the timeline, during Fei’s unexpected transformation, the church’s fleet was still on the battlefield.
While she doubted there’d be clues in such circumstances, Bai Yi decided to ask anyway.
As expected, a witch at the warship’s control panel shook her head and promptly replied:
"No, Your Highness. When you left, the church fleet was already at a disadvantage and began a strategic retreat ten minutes later.
If there’s anything unusual, it’s that their fleet retreated too quickly.
The church fleet wasn’t at such a disadvantage as to justify retreating; it was as if they had no intention of fighting back. Just when signs of defeat appeared, they chose to withdraw voluntarily.
In fact, due to their early retreat, the fleet retained considerable strength."
"Retreating early? What kind of maneuver is this?"
The network records showed the church fleet began retreating when Fei regained favor with the [creator] and completed her transformation, suggesting no significant correlation.
