Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Gaia Qin Jin took it, extracted it, and swallowed it. After the life energy dissolved the capsule, a warm current surged out, flowing through his physique, where the warm current passed, the dormant life energy was restored, awakening from its slumber. Qin Jin’s aura gradually recovered. In front. Chu Tianyi looked at him, a hint of admiration in his eyes. "Qin Jin, you’re quite impressive." "Given your age, being able to completely master the Thunder Beast Breathing Technique, and even innovate to make it more suited to your own changes, is indeed commendable." Qin Jin was not surprised. Since he exerted all his effort, he was prepared to be noticed. His focus was, instead, on another point. "Elder Chu, you know the Thunder Beast Breathing Technique too?" "Of course." Chu Tianyi nodded: "This breathing technique was spread within the Mining Star with the Federation’s consent, deliberately." His tone was calm, but the words he spoke stirred waves in Qin Jin’s heart. He had once harbored suspicion. Wen Jinglun had said that the Thunder Beast Breathing Technique was created by the Federation’s martial arts masters, worth far more than ordinary breathing techniques. The Level 3 rating on the panel also confirmed this point. The Mining Star was merely a remote planet at the boundary of the Corridor Star System, and its students, unsuspecting as they were, managed to cultivate such a level of breathing technique early in their martial arts journey. When Uncle Yan notified him of the recommendation, he had speculated. Now... Everything had been answered. "Elder Chu." Qin Jin weighed his words: "So, the new generation on the Mining Star can cultivate this breathing technique because of the secrets on this planet? Because of that great opportunity?" "Correct." Chu Tianyi nodded: "Do not address me as elder anymore." "Qin Jin, your performance is enough to be ranked among the three." "Henceforth, just call me teacher." Having said this, he turned and walked toward a building. "Follow me." Qin Jin stepped forward to catch up, his mind overwhelmed with thoughts. He had not imagined that the Mining Star, where he spent his childhood, was even more complex than the current Great Wilderness. The new generation within the Mining Star was involved in a great secret right from birth. Looking back now, participating in it was the right choice. In front. Chu Tianyi’s voice carried through. "The last three chosen ones, you are teammates." "Qin Jin, you were the first to be selected as the captain of this small squad, and in future actions, you will take the lead." "From now on, you don’t need to go through the trials and eliminations like them, but I need you to observe each one of them." "Ultimately, the two who excel may not necessarily be the ones with the strongest talent. After all, having three sharp swords emerging from the same sheath might lead to internal strife." "Therefore, I will take your opinions into account when choosing the other two." Qin Jin listened and responded: "I understand." He was silent for a moment, finally speaking: "Teacher Chu... since I successfully got in, am I now qualified to know what that great opportunity really is?" "Of course." After a response, Chu Tianyi led Qin Jin into the room. It was a spacious hall, in the center of which projected a gigantic light screen, displaying the vast star sea. This is the Corridor Star System’s miniature star map! At a glance, the star system’s flat diagram looked like a deep corridor, thus named. Chu Tianyi reached onto the light screen with a virtual gesture, enlarging a remote corner of the star map to reveal a planet. "Here is the Mining Star beneath our feet." His voice was long, turning back to look at Qin Jin: "Qin Jin, do you know cosmic divine spirits?" "I’ve heard of them." Realizing he was finally about to learn the secret of the Mining Star, Qin Jin responded seriously and solemnly: "I know there are registered cosmic divine spirits in the Federation, with the Esoteric Practitioners depending on these spirits for growth among the four major evolutionary paths." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞 "Besides, it is said that the Martial Arts Celestial Beings hone their spirits by visualizing cosmic divine spirits." Chu Tianyi nodded slightly: "What you mentioned is correct on both counts." His demeanor steady, he spoke solemnly: "Cosmic divine spirits are the most secretive existence in the Endless Star Sea, and to this day, the Federation has not confirmed their origin." "In countless explorations throughout the Federation’s history, various cosmic divine spirits have been encountered, possessing terrifying power; some are benevolent, choosing to communicate and cooperate with the Federation after encounters, becoming registered [True Gods], while others, inherently evil, filled with destructive desires, regard life as worthless, being the greatest hindrance to the Federation’s expansion, known as [Evil Gods]." "In the Endless Star Sea, unquantifiable numbers of Evil Gods lurk, they are the most dangerous beings in the starry sky, far more perilous than other intelligent civilizations." "Star Gods are a type of cosmic divine spirits." "The so-called Star Gods refer to [special divine spirits evolving on and closely tied to planets]." "You could see it as the core of a planet; a star-nurturing Star God sees the planet’s environment gradually change, truly becoming a Paradise on Earth, and once the transformation completes, it ranks among the highest levels of life planets." "Gaia Level." Qin Jin listened intently. He knew of the existence levels of life planets within the Federation. But he had not anticipated that a life planet at the highest level was related to divine spirits. Thoughts flashed in his mind, and Qin Jin asked solemnly: "Teacher, do you mean..." "There exists a Star God on the Mining Star?" "Correct." Chu Tianyi nodded: "To be precise, it is an emerging Star God that is about to be born." His voice lingered: "This Mining Star, for years, endures harsh weather, filled with thunder." "The thunder elements you saw on your way, those energy structures lacking consciousness." "These are all wonders because the planet nurtures a Star God." "Once the Star God is born, this planet will gradually return to tranquility, then begin transformation, and over time ascend to Gaia Planet." Qin Jin’s eyes passed over contemplation, continuing his inquiry. "What about us?" "The new generation on the Mining Star directly cultivated the Thunder Beast Breathing Technique, clearly prepared." "Teacher Chu, you have searched for talents on the Mining Star, gathered them here for special training." "What is our role? What must we do?" Chu Tianyi did not answer immediately, his hand lightly gesturing, and the star map on the light screen changed, revealing planets in the star sea that were exceptionally beautiful. "So far, under the Federation’s various star systems, there are seventeen Gaia planets." "Among them, four have gradually ascended to Gaia planets after the Federation recognized the nurturing of Star Gods and exerted influence." "The JK4176 Mining Star is the Federation’s fifth confirmed Star God planet." Here, he paused slightly. "The nurturing of Star Gods is extremely pure and naive; in this process, their unconscious actions could potentially have severe impacts on the planet." "What you need to do..." "is to approach them at the beginning of their nurturing, try to communicate, connect with them, and help guide them on the right path." "Within the Federation, this project is named..." "Chosen Ones."
