Dragon Transformation in the Apocalypse

Chapter 439 Arrival at the Interstellar Alliance

The group of seven boarded the Flying Dragon and headed towards the Interstellar Alliance headquarters deeper into the galaxy. Jasmine, as the ambassador for Roland Star, explained the situation of the Interstellar Alliance headquarters to Li Chenglong and Cynthia, who was visiting for the first time.

The Milky Way galaxy is currently divided into five layers from the inside out: the central layer, the inner circle, the middle circle, the outer circle, and the outermost circle. The solar system is located at the boundary between the outer and outermost circles, while the star systems of Roland, Hyland, and Melan are located at the boundary between the middle and outer circles. Cecily and Miss Erica's home planet, Meral, is in the middle of the outer circle. As for the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance, it is currently located on Tarot, the second planet of the Lag system, on the outer edge of the inner circle.

The planet Taro is said to be five times the size of Earth, with a land-to-ocean ratio of 5:5. It is inhabited by native Taro people, as well as many who migrated from planets in the central and inner galaxies. The headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance is located on Taro's largest continent, Tars. All planets participating in the Interstellar Alliance have offices there for rapid communication in case of emergency meetings.

Even with the latest spaceship, the Flying Dragon, traveling from Roland to Tarot takes the equivalent of a month on Earth. Besides eating and sleeping, Cynthia spends her days honing her martial arts skills in the training grounds on the ship with the other four members of the princess's personal guard. Special Ambassador Jasmine, on the other hand, is very curious about Earth and asks Li Chenglong many questions about it. Whenever he has free time, Li Chenglong goes to the Flying Dragon's library to read books about the Interstellar Alliance and the universe.

During this process, Li Chenglong also learned about some of the cruel realities of Roland. For example, the current Queen Raymond's mother gave birth to a total of six children, and she was only the fourth in line, so theoretically she had no chance of inheriting the throne.

However, during her tenure as the dean of the First Academy on Roland Star, she used this position to cultivate a large number of loyal subordinates and also to cultivate many alien allies. For example, Lena was one of her students, and Roddick from the planet Milan also studied at the academy for three cosmic years as an exchange student.

In addition, she took advantage of the high-bloodline elves' ability to reproduce multiple times, giving birth to her first four children at a young age and sending them to academies or the army to learn various kinds of knowledge. Thus, when the previous empress was about to die and pass the throne to her second sister, she seized the opportunity to launch a bloody attack and obtain the throne. After obtaining the throne, she used her extraordinary combat talent and extremely shrewd political skills to not only become the first level 14 powerhouse on Roland Star, but also the most beloved empress in history.

To ensure her successor is equally capable and doesn't lead Roland astray after taking power, Queen Raymond openly supports her daughters' candidacy, on the condition that they absolutely cannot do anything to harm the planet. This is also one of the reasons why Princess Sera volunteered to represent the Interstellar Alliance on Earth. The youngest, the Seventh Princess, currently serves as Roland's ambassador at the Interstellar Alliance headquarters.

This elf named Jasmine, although she was in charge of diplomatic work on Roland Star, Li Chenglong discovered that she was quite strong, also a level 12 powerhouse. Although her strength was not at the level of Yun Lan, she could still be compared with Shangguan Jingyun at level 12.

Both the elves and dark elves on Roland are vegetarian races. Although their planet has advanced agriculture and animal husbandry, the products of animal husbandry are only sold to other planets. The planet Meilan, with its relatively harsh environment but extremely rich mineral resources, is their primary customer.

Li Chenglong finished his workout and had just started showering when Jasmine barged in, staring at him curiously. Li Chenglong quickly grabbed a towel from his psionic storage area and wrapped himself in it. He asked, "Miss Jasmine, I was showering. How did you get in? And I clearly locked my door. How did you get in?"

Jasmine casually said, "Those door locks are just decorations for us. Of all the aliens I've met over the years, I feel the difference in appearance between you humans, men and women, is the greatest. But judging from the book you gave me, it doesn't seem very detailed, so I want to study you."

As she spoke, she reached for the towel covering Li Chenglong, but Li Chenglong stopped her: "Miss Jasmine, have you ever heard of the difference between men and women?" Jasmine shook her head and continued pulling at the towel, saying, "I have never heard of that. Our planet is all women, and there has never been such a saying."

Li Chenglong thought about it and it seemed to be true, but he couldn't appear naked in front of her. Moreover, there was a pressing matter: because the shower hadn't been turned off, Jasmine had been sprayed with water when she entered the bathroom, and since she was dressed rather lightly, her body was now vaguely visible.

Even with Li Chenglong's composure, a reaction was inevitable upon witnessing this scene. In a moment of panic, Li Chenglong used dimensional travel to disappear from Jasmine's sight. After a while, having cleaned himself and dressed neatly, Li Chenglong invited Jasmine to the Flying Dragon's lounge and explained to her in detail some aspects of relationships between men and women on Earth. Jasmine then understood that on Earth, especially in China, men and women were indeed different, not only physiologically but also psychologically and in daily life.

To change the subject, Li Chenglong asked Jasmine a lot of questions. He learned that Jasmine was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also a top graduate of the First Academy on Roland Star, achieving perfect scores in all subjects. She later studied at the First Academies on Hailan Star and Meilan Star, graduating with outstanding grades on both occasions. Afterwards, she followed Empress Raymond, helping her handle political and diplomatic affairs. This time, she was on board the Flying Dragon because of the Empress's orders.

However, as she got to know Li Chenglong, she found it increasingly interesting, and her interest in Li Chenglong and Earth grew stronger. She said that she definitely wanted to visit Earth sometime to experience its customs and culture.

After multiple jumps and wormhole maneuvers, the Flying Dragon finally arrived at the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance. The moment Li Chenglong stepped off the ship, he sensed that the environment seemed unsuitable for human habitation. He felt short of breath, and his energy began to surge automatically. Seeing this, a staff member brought him a pill-like object, which he swallowed. Five minutes later, the discomfort gradually disappeared.

Li Chenglong had truly broadened his horizons this time. Previously, whether it was the insect-like Bozan aliens or the lizard-like Gil aliens, they all basically had humanoid forms. But on this enormous platform, there were all sorts of creatures. Some looked like slimes, some like earthworms, and some like toads. There were also quite a few staff members responsible for maintaining the platform, including both robotic workers and real Tarot aliens.

With Jasmine's help, Li Chenglong, Cynthia, and the others quickly completed the registration process. They then boarded a hovercar and traveled for ten minutes before exiting the massive spaceship landing base. Upon exiting the gate, several people from Roland were waiting there. Jasmine approached them and chatted with the leader for a while. Afterward, they all boarded their vehicles and drove away.

Jasmine explained, "Tarot is a very large planet. Even with the latest transportation, it will take us six hours to reach the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance. So we need to go to the Roland Star Embassy on Tarot first, rest for the night, and then set off again early tomorrow morning. By the way, this planet rotates at a speed similar to Earth, so the nights are also very long, and we can rest slowly."

After driving at high speed for half an hour, the group arrived at the embassy. Li Chenglong and the others were then checked by the security guards before being allowed to enter.
