I Can Level Up By Staying Idle

Chapter 290 Target Destination, Solar System!

In the lightspeed ship.

At the round conference table.

Dozens of level-nine lifeforms were gathered here for a round table.

A long-bearded old man in a robe slowly spoke and presided over the meeting. "More than 20,000 years ago, in consideration of the interests of various parties in the Milky Way, we joined forces with the powerhouses of the Andromeda Galaxy to attack 'Yi'!"

The long-bearded old man's words brought everyone's thoughts back to the battle more than 20,000 years ago.

In that battle, there were dozens of level-nine lifeforms participating, and the only target of the siege was "Yi"!

"But what I didn't expect…" The long-bearded old man continued, "Yi is indeed an existence with a chance of becoming a god! Under the siege of dozens of level-nine lifeforms, he can still escape by tearing space apart!"

"Although nine level-nine lifeforms captured Yi's escape trajectory and rushed into the spatial rift to pursue him before the torn space completely healed… we all know that those nine level-nine lifeforms and the experts they led will never return!"

There was silence.

Everyone understood that the nine level-nine lifeforms and the other level-seven and level-eight experts must have died! Otherwise, if anyone had survived, someone would have returned 20,000 years ago!

"He fought against dozens of level-nine lifeforms alone and even killed them all… Yi's strength is too shocking!" The long-bearded old man sighed. "Although we all think that it's very likely that Yi has perished with those experts! However… we can't sleep or eat in peace without confirming that Yi is dead!"

Level 9 lifeforms had long lifespans.

However, it was precisely because of this that every level-nine lifeform cherished their lives!

No one could accept that there was a terrifying enemy hiding in the dark who could break beyond the ninth rank at any time and become a god!

"A level-nine lifeform is not so fragile and won't die so easily! Especially a peerless genius like Yi. He's very likely still hiding in a corner of the Milky Way!" The long-bearded old man continued, "Besides… even if Yi really died, his corpse won't decay and disappear so easily! Even if he specially left arrangements to destroy his corpse before he died, the energy in the interstellar space where he died will definitely be abnormally high!"

The body of a level-nine lifeform contained boundless energy.

If one really destroyed the corpse of a level-nine lifeform, the majestic energy in its body would explode like a supernova, leaving a large amount of life force in the interstellar space!

This life force was even enough to produce a new civilization.

This was what was called… one whale's death brings thousands of lives!

"And until now… we haven't seen Yi or his corpse, nor have we discovered any abnormalities in the life force in the Milky Way!" The long-bearded old man said. "The only thing we can be sure of is that Yi must be in the Milky Way and didn't escape to the outer galaxy!"

The distance between galaxies was far. Even the closest neighboring galaxy was hundreds of thousands of light-years away!

Moreover, the space between the galaxies was very empty. There was almost no energy or matter. If he wanted to cross that empty interstellar space, it would be like a huge ship sailing across a calm lake. He would definitely be discovered.

Therefore, the experts present were certain that Yi had definitely not left the Milky Way!

Over the years, they had also arranged for a large number of forces to investigate suspicious places where Yi might be.

"In order to find Yi's traces, we have been investigating the Milky Way for more than 20,000 years! The range of our investigation is tens of thousands of light-years!"

The diameter of the Milky Way was only 100,000 light-years in total. In other words, in the past 20,000 years, the powerhouses present had almost checked all the suspicious places.

"As of today…"

The long-bearded old man looked a little smug.

"Although we haven't found any traces of Yi, we've almost 100% locked onto the area where Yi is! This location is…" The old man waved his finger gently, and a three-dimensional panorama of the Milky Way appeared in front of him.

The nucleus, the central bulge, the galactic disk, the galactic halo, the galactic corona, and the spiral arms of the milky way were clearly visible on the three-dimensional panorama.

This was a picture of the entire galaxy with a diameter of 100,000 light years.

"This location is… the Orion Arm of the Milky Way!" The long-bearded old man waved his finger casually, and this Milky Way secondary arm that was about 20,000 light years long quickly enlarged.

"All sources of information indicate that it's very likely that Yi is hiding in the position of the Orion arm!" The long-bearded old man pointed with his finger, and the Orion arm expanded by hundreds of times. The three-dimensional panorama in front of him was only left with an area dozens of light-years away from the solar system.

"Here, a very ordinary star system in the Orion arm of the Milky Way. It's also an extremely desolate location in the Milky Way!" The long-bearded old man pointed at the solar system and said, "From this star system to the galactic nucleus, it needs to pass through more than half of the Orion arm. It also needs to pass through the nucleus, the galactic disk, and the galactic corona! It needs to cross about 28,000 light-years of space!"

"I have to say that Yi really can hide! He actually hid in such a desolate secondary arm! Unfortunately… we still locked onto him!" The long-bearded old man smiled. "So next, we're going to the solar system to see if Yi is already dead!"

There was silence in the conference room again.

It would be best if Yi was dead. It would be a joyous event for the higher-ups of the entire Milky Way. But if he wasn't dead… He had killed nine level-nine lifeforms and many level-seven and level-eight lifeforms alone. How terrifying would Yi's strength be?

The long-bearded old man stopped smiling and said with a solemn expression, "We can't be sure if Yi is dead, but this time, we can't be careless at all! Therefore, I suggest that we gather all our strength and go to the solar system together, not giving Yi any chance to catch his breath!"

"But…" Suddenly, a bald level-nine lifeform said fearfully," After more than 20,000 years, with Yi's talent, he's very likely to become a god! If he's already a god, wouldn't we be walking into a trap by trying to kill him?

"He can't be a god!" the long-bearded old man said firmly. "If he really has become a god, we don't need to look for him at all. He would have come to us long ago! But… if he's not dead yet, if we keep giving him time, he might really become a god one day! In order to prevent this from happening, we have to strike first!"

"So, I propose—"

The long-bearded old man stood up and said solemnly, "All warships gather. All experts above rank 7 are on standby! Target destination, Solar System!"
