Chapter 2644 - 17: Three-Month Pact!
"And about how you dealt with those Nine Galaxy Novice Creatures earlier, that explosive method of yours—I was really astonished watching it. But astonished is astonished; your attack had a huge amount of wasted Power, even situations where you burned through your winning chances for nothing. You need to understand, if you used that explosive properly, it could have achieved an even better effect than just now. Among those Ten Galaxy-Level ones, aside from that one Middle-Stage Galactic Lifeform, you actually had a chance to wipe out all the other Initial Level experts in a single blow. But you insisted on turning it into a war of attrition. With such great Talent and methods, you still fought like that; tell me, shouldn’t I laugh?"The Insect Clan Queen was so amused she almost wanted to laugh again.
Jia Yan’s expression grew even uglier; he wanted to refute her, yet couldn’t think of anything to say.
Because what the Insect Clan Queen said was absolutely right.
Jia Yan’s Talent was quite good, but his strength didn’t match his Talent, resulting in him wasting effort for nothing and failing to maximize his Power.
If he had a more concise fighting style, or more熟练 battle techniques, then in this fight, he definitely might have achieved a much greater effect, maybe even without having to endure any danger of death.
Seeing Jia Yan’s expression, the Insect Clan Queen knew the timing was about right.
So she stopped mocking Jia Yan, and her expression turned sincere.
"Jia Yan, you never had a famous teacher to guide you; that’s your bad Luck. Or you could say your rate of improvement surpassed any teacher who tried to guide you temporarily, so you’ve always been pushing yourself forward. Now that you’ve reached Galaxy Level, you can’t go on like this. Without a powerful existence to guide you, without someone to tell you the things to watch out for at Galaxy Level, Domain Master Level, and even Post-stage Galaxy Level, you’re destined to suffer in the future. Because at this Level, not a single existence has weak Talent. In fact, I really do know some whose Talent isn’t much worse than yours, and in the Central Milky Way there might even be those whose Talent is far superior to yours. By then, if you keep using self-developed moves like now, instead of using battle techniques summarized by Strong Ones, you’ll die a miserable death. No matter how strong your Talent is, if you don’t stand on the shoulders of countless predecessors, it’s still just a dead end. Do you understand?"
The Insect Clan Queen’s words made Jia Yan’s expression shift slightly; he suddenly understood what she wanted to say.
This was what they called rise and fall in tone, advancing and retreating.
Her real intention wasn’t to insult Jia Yan.
Sure enough, after the Insect Clan Queen said those words, she continued speaking.
"You’ve probably already guessed what I want to say. That’s right, I’m saying that in the future, you should follow me and learn. Since your Talent has reached this level, I won’t be stingy with my teaching. As long as you have the ability, you can even catch up to me one day; I won’t stop you. You can go ask others—this Queen of the Insect Clan Domain has never gone back on her word. I’m even less afraid of you growing up and coming after me or whatever. I also trust your character. Besides, when you were weak I helped you once, and just now I indirectly helped you kill a Star River Middle Stage being; otherwise, if you’d fought alone, you might have died. So you wouldn’t turn on me, right?"
"Of course not, I won’t turn on you."
Jia Yan thought for a moment, then nodded heavily.
He’d understood the Insect Clan Queen’s intention. If she wasn’t trying to win him over, she wouldn’t have bothered to waste expressions and say so many mocking words just now. The more she talked like that, the more she wanted to recruit Jia Yan and gain his loyal assistance.
In fact, that was exactly the case. The Insect Clan Queen had figured out that she had never really held any hostility toward Jia Yan; she had even helped Jia Yan back when he was still weak.
At that time, she had just finished a great battle and was wandering through the Starry Sky, looking for some existence that could help her on her future Path of improvement. She heard that over in the Orion Arm there were astonishing legends about an Evolutionary Creature, so she came over.
As a result, she saw the Jia Yan back then, still unbelievably weak. She observed him for a while and, when Jia Yan fell into danger, she intervened once. But since the Talent and combat power Jia Yan displayed disappointed her a bit, she chose to leave.
Yet that one act of help became a bargaining chip for their meeting today. Even though the Queen had only casually helped with a wisp of Power, for the Jia Yan back then it truly was life-saving, so of course Jia Yan would have a good impression of her.
The Insect Clan Queen had gradually come to understand Jia Yan’s character as well. She couldn’t guarantee he’d never act against someone who had saved him, but at least in certain respects, he wouldn’t harbor any malicious thoughts.
With that, the prospect of future cooperation between the two was quite sufficient. The Insect Clan Queen could treat him as a helper who might one day reach her Level, while Jia Yan could rapidly improve his own Level and combat power. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement.
"I understand your intention... Your Majesty Queen, you don’t need to say more. If you are willing to teach and guide me, then in the future, our cooperative prospects will be even broader. Of course, I’ll say the ugly words first: I won’t be your Subordinate—at most, we’ll be equal partners... At worst, when I become stronger in the future, I’ll repay more favors and benefits, and help you out a few times. How about that?"
Jia Yan thought for a while and said this very solemnly.
The Insect Clan Queen laughed even louder.
"Hahaha, what a ’help me out a few times’! Jia Yan, you need to understand, if it were any other Initial stage of the stellar river existence daring to brag like that in front of me, I’d slap him to death on the spot. But your words... humph. Jia Yan, saying that now is still too early. In short, I’ll be observing you. Although you’ve obtained a higher status than any Genius I’ve ever watched before, you’re still far from being on equal footing with me. If you want that in any sense, then hurry up and go for Promotion—Star River Middle Stage... at least that Level before I’ll take you seriously. As for whether you’re willing to come to my place, that’s up to you!"
"If you’re willing, three months from now, in my Domain, I’ll be waiting for you."
After saying this, the Insect Clan Queen’s Avatar actually shot straight into the sky.
The castle was completely blasted through by her, and the countless Flaming Giants inside were pounding their chests and stomping their feet, looking up at the sky with endless sighs.
You have to know, this Master who created their lives had given their Flaming Giant Race the ability to reproduce on their own; that practically made them a true Cosmic race.
And all of this was something the Insect Clan Queen had done casually, with just one Avatar.
It showed just how astonishing the Insect Clan Queen’s strength was at this moment.
Jia Yan glanced around, then looked in the direction where the Insect Clan Queen’s Avatar had departed, and felt a wave of melancholy.
He had just defeated a great enemy, yet in front of this Strong One, it was as if he’d done something that didn’t surprise her at all.
Instead, it was Jia Yan’s few Talents that made her eyes light up repeatedly. If not for those Talents, perhaps the current Jia Yan still wouldn’t have truly caught this Queen’s eye.
"Star River Middle Stage is when she’ll finally look me in the eye? Then right now, I don’t even have the chance to be seen by her. So should I still go to her Insect Clan Domain? Three months from now, once I get there, do I head straight for the Milky Way Central, or do I wait?"
Everything was unknown. Jia Yan gazed at the Starry Sky, while the group of Flame Creatures around him were pounding their chests and stomping.
This scene lasted a long time—so long that Jia Yan felt it was a bit over the top.
"Listen up—you were born of Flame, but you can’t afford to have too many hot tempers. This Starfield is under my control. If I hear in the future that you’ve committed any acts of brutality, then that being who created your lives—I can take those lives back. Understand?"
Jia Yan looked coldly around at the group of Flame Creatures and barked out.
"Yes!"
The group of creatures hurriedly knelt to the ground.
They might not be terribly afraid of Jia Yan, but after all, Jia Yan was that one’s friend, so naturally they wouldn’t dare look down on him or ignore his words.
What’s more, this being’s strength also left them in awe. Even if they couldn’t quite see how strong he really was, even if he fell short of their creator, he was definitely not someone they could compare to.
