World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 292 - 176: The Oath of the Star Alliance

The sound of burning flames echoed in the spacious hall, the warm light reflecting on everyone’s faces, taking them away from the gruesome battle they had just witnessed.

The emotions of the crowd had been thoroughly stirred, and as they listened to Zhang Xiaoman recite the oath, the words they had been memorizing these past days immediately sprung to mind.

This was an oath that Zhang Xiaoman had prepared in advance for them, and from now on, it was the vow that everyone joining the Star Alliance would have to make.

Everyone’s gaze was fixed on the flames before them; the words that had been held in their hearts for days were about to be released. This moment was destined to be eternally etched into their memories.

No one knew who spoke first, but soon everyone present, including Ye Cang and Brother Hero, began to recite the Star Alliance’s oath in unison.

"Starry skies fall, darkness descends.

Darkness shrouds the world, evil is spreading.

The gods have long perished, prayers no longer answered.

Homelands buried deep in ruins, flesh wails within destruction.

I will cast aside all prejudices, ignite the Inheritor’s flame.

I will stay true to my duty, never slacken, never give up!

I will do all that I can, without fear, without evasion!

I would rather die backed by my hometown, or live facing alien species!

I am the long spear in the Hunter’s hand, the Holy Spirit’s hymn of praise!

I am the flame beneath the cold winter, the light at the end of the dark night!

I am the silent Knight, and the fearless Ranger!

I am the Dawn Sword, and the Shield of Hope!

I am the Dawn Light, and the Rock of Serenity!

I am the Eye of the Starry Sky, and the fearless heart!

I will kindle the dawn with the Life Fire, piercing the unknown dark!

When that time comes, fear will be dispelled by hope, and the Inheritor’s will shall conquer all!"

With the oath concluded, the surrounding lights brightened significantly, and a low hum emanated from the center of the arena as a stone platform rose from the ground, the very same Stone Pillar used earlier for the Awakening.

At this moment, everyone in the hall trembled, even the composed Ye Cang finding it difficult to suppress the emotions deep within.

While reciting the oath, they seemed to see the images of past Pioneers battling bloodily. From the terror and despair of their destroyed homelands to the victory and hope that came with united retaliation, those scenes were enough to set one’s blood ablaze with just the thought alone.

Although there were only about a dozen people present, and their voices were not as loud as during military training roll calls, the determination and resolve they conveyed were unmistakable, with a power that pierced hearts and shook souls.

Zhang Xiaoman watched this scene and inwardly nodded in approval.

Good, everything was going according to plan, with no errors.

The oath that everyone recited was something he had thought out after several days of intense meditation; the lights around were activated by the Star Rank; and the stone platform that rose from the ground had been buried earlier by the World Tree, now lifted back up by its roots.

Seeing everyone’s heightened emotions, he felt that all the preparations he had made were worthwhile. Although the conditions were simple, it was essential to create a sense of ceremony to achieve the greatest effect.

The oath recited before the Awakening was already complete; next came the actual Awakening procedure.

Under the eager, expectant gazes of the crowd, Zhang Xiaoman received some materials from the Star Guard and then handed them to Lin Sisi, who carefully walked toward the stone platform carrying a sand bowl.

The materials had already been infused with the Dark Energy Technique in advance. According to Zhang Xiaoman’s experiments, this technique could be preserved after being added, but not for too long, as the structure would likely collapse and dissipate. For this reason, he had wasted all the offcuts of the materials he received this time.

Those present had already recognized Lin Sisi and knew that the little girl was a blind girl without sight.

However, nobody looked down on her in the slightest. With Brother Hero’s promotion, the lass had already become known to everyone as a talented young lady with a formidable Dark Energy talent.

Of course, this was indeed the case.

What Lin Sisi didn’t know herself was that, at some point, she had been dubbed the "Number One Person under the Star Lord with Dark Energy Talent."

"What I need to remind you all is that Awakening is not guaranteed to be successful. It will test your will and conviction, and I believe Brother Hero has told you all about this."

Zhang Xiaoman looked at the people below with an encouraging gaze, "Now, who would like to be the first to take up the challenge?" freeweɓnovel.cøm

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone in the crowd stood up. It was Xiao Shun.

"Star Lord, let me do it! I’m sure I will be successful!"

Xiao Shun said with a voice full of confidence.

After watching that segment of the video and reciting the oath of the Star Alliance, this guy was already at his emotional peak, eager to save the world.

Zhang Xiaoman didn’t object and immediately gestured for Lin Sisi to start drawing the Enlightenment Array.

The girl’s method of drawing was as adept as ever. She completed the task quickly, which showed that she hadn’t stopped practicing at home lately.

Now it was Xiao Shun’s turn. All eyes were on him as, just like Ye Cang and the others before, he was enveloped in a bright light and pulled into an illusion.

Confusion, tension, fear, contemplation. A series of emotions played across his face, and Xiao Shun’s Awakening process lasted for about 5 minutes before the light faded and he stopped.

Fortunately, he never let go throughout the process. Despite some hiccups, he ultimately succeeded in Awakening.

Looking at the mark representing the Star Alliance inscribed in his palm, Xiao Shun didn’t shout out in joy as the others expected.

Although joyous, his heart was weighed down by a heavy sense of responsibility, having taken the oath just before.

Coming back to his senses, Xiao Shun was immediately bombarded with questions about what he had just seen, and he recounted everything in detail.

It turned out that in the illusion, he had experienced being pressured by his family to learn medicine. Reluctantly, he ended up on this path.

Then, the scene shifted to an operating room, where Xiao Shun unexpectedly found himself to be the lead surgeon facing a critically ill patient, and a surgery began.

It was an exceedingly difficult operation, and Xiao Shun felt that with his skills he couldn’t complete it at all. Moreover, bizarrely, he was a one-armed man, possessing only one hand.

"How could one perform surgery with just one hand?"

This thought flashed across his mind, and upon realizing this, Xiao Shun suddenly became aware of his other hand’s location, as if it was bound by something.

When he looked down, he saw his right hand being pierced by a long, thin object, nailed to a pedestal.

Only then did he realize that what stood beside him were not nurses but a slender, tube-armed, sharp-limbed monster. What had pierced his right hand was the limb of this monster.
