Star Devourer Insect

Ch. 804:

I’m a member of the Star Devourer Insect race. I came across a very
powerful Principal Immortal who sealed me inside this crystal ball. That
 immortal bullied me since my infancy and some time ago I just activated
 my bloodline inheritance. I haven’t yet mastered any great power. But
as long as you can unseal me, I have a way to gain a very powerful
ability in a short time and I can serve you for one ‘lightyear cycle’ as
 it is the rule of my race to thank our benefactor.’

‘But I’m not lacking hired goons, mind you.’ Tang Xiu directly transmitted his response with a thought.

The
 golden Star Devourer Insect became anxious and restless. It had been
sealed for eons—so long that it lost the track of how long it had been.
Now it had a one-in-a-million-chance to come across a human who could
break the seal and give it freedom. If it didn’t seize this opportunity,
 he would still be tormented and driven to insanity inside.

‘Then what do you need? I will try to fulfill your request as best as I can, no matter what you request of me.’

‘Tell
 me, where are you from? Also, which civilization in the universe left
behind this three-star vestige? And how did they come to Earth?’

‘I’m
 from a unique Posidor stellar system, the Blackcloud star region. It’s
the incubation base of our Star Devouring Insect race and is also my
hometown. The Blackcloud Galaxy has numerous races, many of which are of
 races of advanced civilizations. The one who brought me here was the
fleet of the Starnet Empire after they had been defeated by other
advanced civilizations and became an interstellar wandering race. After
fleeing and coming to this planet, the few remaining remnants of the
Starnet Empire rushed to establish this base. They thought they would
get a new homeworld but they were unable to adapt with the planet’s
environment which turned out to be unsuitable for them before they
finally got trapped here.’

Tang Xiu suddenly understood, but then realized some other issues and quickly asked, ‘How long have you been on Earth, exactly?’

‘One stellar wave unit.’

‘One stellar wave unit? What’s that?’

‘It’s a…’

The
 Star Devourer Insect turned more anxious. It didn’t know the units for
time measurement on this planet. He wanted to explain but it didn’t know
 how to explain it either. It anxiously calculated the countless time
cycles that he had been sealed up and finally came up with an idea,
‘It’s close to one measurement of a calamity cycle.’

One calamity cycle, a Treta Yuga? Around 1.3 million years?

Tang
 Xiu calculated it to the unit measurement of calamity cycle. Back when
he lived in the Immortal World, some races used the calamity cycle as a
time measurement unit. However, he really didn’t expect that the Starnet
 Empire’s interstellar battleship actually had come to Earth more than a
 million years ago. There shouldn’t have been the existence of humankind
 during that period of time on Earth, right?

‘I can save you and
let you come out, but you have to sign a contract with me first. Also, I
 need to know how long is the ‘lightyear cycle’ unit you mentioned to
me. That’s right, our human time unit is…’

Through Tang Xiu’s
explanation, the Star Devouring Insect finally figured out the time
measurement unit on Earth. What it said was a ‘lightyear cycle’ was
actually 2,000 years on Earth
