“They’re still in a standoff and investigating the area?” Zhao Yao read the intel sent by the spies and thought about it slowly. “White Short Star personally erected the Dimension Partition so that he could stop the spread of the orangeization temporarily?”

“Looks like White Short Star is much more capable than I thought he was.”

After thinking about it, Zhao Yao decided not to strike first, but continued to train while observing the situation.

As long as he continued to train, his capabilities would continue to improve and become stronger. His current capabilities were still not enough to guarantee a decisive victory over White Short Star and the Whitehand Grandmaster. The only thing for sure was that he would not die in their hands.

“And the mutant cat people on Earth…” Zhao Yao thought for a while before calling a few world leaders and asking them to capture all the humans and cats that had signs of mutation and keep watch over them temporarily to prevent any mishaps. He would settle everything else when he returned.

After making all sorts of arrangement, Zhao Yao could finally go back to train in peace.

However, given his current state, even if he went deep into the core of the Earth, he would still be unable to achieve the best results from training. He had to find another way to train.

“In that case, the most convenient place is only that one…”

Zhao Yao returned to Earth and entered the Awareness Dimension. When he returned to the physical world, blinding rays of light pierced through his retina.

What appeared before him was boundless, limitless rays of light, flames and explosions – the Sun.

Zhao Yao, who had arrived on the surface of the Sun, floated deeper into its core. He took off the Cat Emperor Armor, removing his immunity from fire.

He instantly felt tongues of flames scorching his body. All sorts of radiation, high pressure and shock waves pierced through his body.

Given the strength of Zhao Yao’s body, he could immediately feel his body being blasted apart. Every inch of his body felt like it was repeatedly evaporating and reassembling itself instantaneously.

“It’s coming, it’s coming.” Zhao Yao felt the waves of pleasure seeping through his body. “It’s reaching the climax!”

Everything that was happening in Zhao Yao’s body suddenly stopped. His eyes looked as if they were spitting out flames.

“Yeah, it should be here. This is the furthest I can go to achieve the optimum effects from training. If I want to go in deeper, I will have to further strengthen my body first.”

Hence, while leaving his physical body on the Sun, Zhao Yao’s Awareness returned to Closers World, where he resumed his daily routine of isolated training. The only difference was that he now had to receive the intel of the three tribes from his spies every day and be prepared to enter the battlefield at any moment.

Time passed day by day. The Furless Tribe and the Short Fur Tribe remained at a loss of what to do with the abnormality on the Long Fur Tribe’s home planet.

After trying all sorts of methods, they not only failed to prevent the orangeization, it resumed and even continued to expand, breaking out of the White Short Star’s Dimension Partition. The orangeization even infected a Huge Cat God, turning it into a huge orange cat which charged into the Long Fur Tribe’s home planet and disappeared.

White Short Star seemed unable to wait any longer and had plans to personally venture deep into the Long Fur Tribe’s home planet.

However, right at that moment, a huge mass of orange cats burst out from the home planet and started attacking the Furless Tribe and Short Fur Tribe’s armies.

These orange cats seemed to be immortal and charged relentlessly towards the armies, devastating much of the armies of the Furless Tribe and Short Fur Tribe.

White Short Star charged in their direction, but realized that the Long Fur Tribe’s home planet had extended four limbs and was charging towards him.

After an earth-shattering collision, the Furless Tribe and Short Fur Tribe both suffered devastating losses and casualties. On the other hand, the orange cat army did not suffer even a single casualty and even converted most of the opposing armies’ supercats into orange cats as they continued their savage attack on the Furless Tribe and Short Fur Tribe.

At this point, the Furless Tribe and the Short Fur Tribe had no choice but to retreat.

However, the orange cat’s attacks were even deadlier than they expected.

Very quickly, the main troops of both tribes, including White Short Star himself, were surrounded and entrapped by the orange cat army on a planet within the warring region.

The whole planet was sealed off by the powers of the orange cats. It was impossible for them to teleport or travel through the Awareness Dimension.

…

On a parched wasteland.

Countless cat slaves and supercats stared hopelessly at the sky where a huge moon was seen. That was their leader, the White Short Star.

At that moment, White Short Star floated in the outer atmosphere. Countless different-coloured lights flashed in the black vacuum and exploded on his body.

White Short Star was withstanding all the attacks from the orange cats to protect the cat slaves and Furless Tribe cats on the ground.

“All these damned orange cats.”

The huge moon vibrated as it sent out an enormous wave of gravity, sweeping across and dismembering the countless orange cats that had turned themselves into battleships.

However, after a few moments, the orange cats reassembled back into their original forms like plasticine and continued attacking White Short Star.

On the ground, White Short Star’s clone, which was around the size of a child, stared at the sky and thought solemnly, “At this rate, even I cannot fend off their attacks forever. These orange cats can’t be killed, and can even infect and reproduce themselves. I must find a way to stop them.”

During this period of time, the Furless Tribe and the Short Fur Tribe tried all sorts of methods to deal with the orange cats. However, they were largely unsuccessful and even worsened the situation, making communication on the planet impossible.

“These orange cats are like madmen. They are attacking us relentlessly.” Beside White Short Star, a Huge Cat God the size of a hill said, “Damn… Where exactly did they come from?”

However, White Short Star suddenly cocked his head to one side as he asked with a strange look on his face, “Did you hear that sound?”

“What sound?”

“It’s a sound nearby…” White Short Star narrowed his eyes as his ears twitched, as if he was trying hard to hear something. “Sounds like… Mat… Cha? What is Matcha? Who’s the one talking?”

The Huge Cat God beside him was puzzled. “Someone’s talking? How come I can’t hear anything?”

At that moment, the attack in space slowed down as the orange cats stopped their attacks.

White Short Star immediately fixed his gaze and turned his attention over there.

According to what he felt in his main body, the orange cats seemed to turn into normal cats from the ‘madmen’ they were and were asking each other curiously about their current situation.

The White Short Star thought to himself, “What’s going on? What’s happening to these orange cats now?”

The next moment, one of the orange cats shouted, “White Short Star, stop the war now. There’s no need for war between us.”

“And who are you?”

The orange cat replied, “The Grand President of the Long Fur Tribe, Alfred.”

White Short Star was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. The whole home planet of the Long Fur Tribe had turned into a single orange cat. It should be no surprise if their Grand President had also turned into an orange cat.

He stared at that orange cat as he thought to himself, “This guy turned into an orange cat… How ugly. Being furless is still the best.”

The Grand President stared at White Short Star and said, “30 years ago, we found the corpse of a cat on a dead star…”

“This guy…” White Short Star thought to himself, “He just started talking about his own story without caring if I actually want to listen to it.”
