Reborn As An Interstellar Giant Mosquito

Chapter 1020: Chapter 5 Verbal Deception!_2

The purple monster suddenly let loose a barrage of words that somewhat startled Jia Yan.

The secret of Advancement to Eternal Star Rank? Jia Yan thought with some trepidation. He himself had little clue about advancing to the Eternal Star Rank; how could he possibly have the ability to share the secret of Advancement with others?

However, he still remembered the information transmitted from Kama’s side, which was for him to stall the other party for a moment. For Jia Yan, buying time was his task at hand. Although he felt somewhat perplexed at heart, he still displayed a startled expression!

”How do you know about this? I shouldn’t have mentioned it to anyone!” he pretended to be exposed, his eyes flickering with a dark light as he looked at the purple monster on the screen, as if he wished he could fly through the screen and kill the other party to prevent any leaks!

”Oh, Mister Jia Yan, don’t look at me with that kind of eyes. My intelligence is obtained from an old rival of yours, naturally. Of course, being as smart as you are, you must have instantly thought of who it is,” the purple monster said, with an air of mystery after seeing Jia Yan’s reaction, a smidgen of unknown delight flashing across that unfathomable alien face.

”Pai Lan or Xing Wu? Those two bastards!” Jia Yan said, staring into the other’s eyes, sounding rather huffy.

”It seems Mister Jia Yan has remembered. However, I can’t reveal who informed me, after all, even I, Rong Bo, am a being who values reputation. Of course, if Mister Jia Yan would be willing to share some information about Advancement or even deign to visit my base, then I would treat you the same, and after all, at that point, we would be good friends!”

The purple monster outed itself; it was indeed Rong Bo!

”Heh, do you think I would believe you? Rong Bo, your deeds in the Desolate Star System are infamous. You directly obliterated five small settlements and slaughtered over three hundred million intelligent beings from the Central Star System. Such a past does not inspire trust in me,” Jia Yan said coldly, candidly listing the other’s history with a sneer.

”Lord Jia Yan, what you just said is not correct,” countered Rong Bo. ”You should know, in the starry sky, it is the Strong Ones who are revered. As supreme beings among the Starry Sky Strong, to those common creatures, we are as gods, living deities. A few lives mean nothing to us. Moreover, have the top ten Strong Ones never done similar things? If I say that, would you, Lord Jia Yan, believe it?”

Hearing Rong Bo’s words, Jia Yan did not refute. It wasn’t just the top ten Strong Ones; even he himself had done inhumane acts. Those who had lived even longer and had more difficulty in Advancement, if it was said that they had never committed terrible slaughters, he indeed would not believe it.

Seeing Jia Yan offer no rebuttal, the purple monster glanced to the side, where a subordinate seemed to be handing over an important battle report.

But he did not pay it much mind, continuing to speak to Jia Yan...

”Lord Jia Yan understands, doesn’t he? They won, and thus whitewashed their past. Eradicating three hundred million lives? Heh... How many sins I, Rong Bo, have been accused of on their behalf, I shall not mention. Let’s just talk about now. If I wanted to counterattack and reclaim the Desolate Star System, it would be an easy task. Do you know why I do not counterattack?”

”Because I do not wish to! The development prospects here in the Chaos Starfield far surpass the meager Desolate Star System. The Chaos stones found on the harvesting stars in the Desolate Star System are mere fragments that have strayed from the Chaos Starfield! Mister Jia Yan, if you are willing to speak of the methods you have for Advancement, I would share with you the secrets of the Chaos Starfield. My sincerity is here; just agree, and I will immediately cease the attack!”

He had spoken so much; a significant amount of time had passed.

Jia Yan glanced at the messages coming from the fleet. There was still some distance to the area of spacetime fluctuation; he needed to buy a little more time.

Thus, Jia Yan looked indifferently at Rong Bo on the screen. Maybe that guy knew Jia Yan’s goal was to stall him for a bit, but you could see from Rong Bo’s eyes that even if he knew, the likelihood of not getting what he wanted is nine out of ten, he was still firmly hopeful. From his eyes, one could see how vital Advancement to Eternal Star Rank was to a being of this level and how difficult Ascension truly was!

If Jia Yan indeed knew some secrets, he might not mind spilling them in exchange for safety. After all, if it was just a few spoken words, Jia Yan wouldn’t lose anything.

But the problem was that Jia Yan knew nothing about Advancement. Even the information he had gathered for his own Ascension was only suitable for himself and utterly useless to the beings of this starry sky.

So all he could do at the moment was to delay as much as possible.

”I believe in your sincerity. So, Lord Rong Bo, how should I cooperate with you? Feel free to enlighten me,” Jia Yan said.

”You just need to tell me the simple details of the Ascension method. I believe as a being like me, you cannot easily deceive!” Rong Bo’s eyes gleamed with even more hope, sensing that what he desired was within reach. And although an urgent report from a subordinate reached both of their ears, Rong Bo refused to pay attention.

Seeing Rong Bo’s increasingly frantic demeanor, Jia Yan sighed deeply in his heart.
