Li Yao’s smile seemed to have been soaked in absolute zero. It was frozen at first and then cracked.
“What—what did you say?”
Li Yao mumbled, as if he did not believe his nonexistent ears, “You are going to destroy the imperium?”
“Your dullness is truly surprising. Is the pa.s.sage of time really so cruel to you? Or is the damage to your soul caused by your crazy training so serious that your computational ability has plummeted to the point that you are no better than an ordinary person?”
Lu Qingchen looked at Li Yao somewhat sorrowfully. “Tell me, did you really not think of such a possibility, or were you unwilling to face the possibility and self-deceivingly cut off your own soul to explore the possibility? There is no need for thousands of years, and there is no need for countless brutal
battles. Right now, just by relying on us, with just one battle and a beautiful annihilation battle, we will be able to completely crush the Star Glory Federation, making the Star Glory Federation the final winner of the three-sided battle, the ruler of the sea of stars, and the sole leader of the human
civilization!”
“This—this is impossible!”
Li Yao said subconsciously, his every flagella s.h.i.+vering.
“Hehe. You and I both know that it is very likely.
Lu Qingchen waved his hands. The ocean of data behind him was stirring a swirl that turned into the maps of hundreds of Sectors as well as a series of dazzling, torrential streams of information. He presented the streams of information to Li Yao and said confidently, “According to the data collected by
the enemy crystal processors, the Imperium of True Human Beings is at its most chaotic and feeble moment.
“In the periphery of the imperium, countless local tyrants and warlords are still hesitating and observing the situation. The specific situation of the imperial capital and the territories of the four major families have not been transmitted to them yet. Even if it is, it will still take them a year and a half, or
even three to five years, before they realize what is going on and gather all their forces. Until then, they are just loose sand and are nothing to be scared of.
“In the traditional sphere of influence of the four major families, although the Yellow Dragon Sector, the palace of another emperor named ‘Emperor Chengwv’, had been surrounded and even captured alive, the revolutionaries did not have enough soldiers and were in too much of a hurry to capture it.
Even if the Yellow Dragon Sector was captured, there was still a long way to go before all the worlds under the control of the four major families surrendered.
“You know that it is one thing to crush the main fleet of the enemy in a battle in the sea of stars, but it is another thing to occupy the hundreds of planets that the enemy has been preparing for hundreds of years and take control of them. The local order will be restored, and a lot of resources will be
retrieved.
“The outcome of a battle in the sea of stars can be determined in ten days to half a month, But the real occupation, digestion, and absorption will take at least fifty years.
“In other words, the territory of the four families is in chaos, too. They are out of order, lawless, and unable to send troops to the outside world. Every world is like an isolated island that has been lost in the dark fog. Not even half a stars.h.i.+p is going to show up!
“Both the new imperium led by your cheap brother and the dying old imperium have lost their effective dominion over the entire sea of stars. You may understand that the enormous ‘empire’ has been paralyzed and is not as strong as we imagined.
“Besides, on the new empire’s side, if they want to restore the effective reign over the sea of stars and revive the paralyzed giant beast, they will have to rely on the developed trade network, which is the transportation fleet of the Myriad World Alliance, to act as the ‘blood’. Right now, in order to deal with
the people of the Sanctuary Alliance, the Myriad World Alliance has also bet their last carrier. They will not be able to carry out regular transportation missions for a long time. You can understand it as the blood of the paralyzed giant beast has run dry!
“Hehe. Hehehehe. Why are the Immortal Cultivators of the revolutionaries claiming that they are the rulers of the entire imperium and even the entire sea of stars? There are only two reasons. Firstly, they have just defeated the Old Imperium and the main fleet of the Sanctuary Alliance. Secondly, they
have an established, enormous fleet under their command. Theoretically speaking, the imperial guards and the rebels are the most violent groups in the sea of stars right now.
“And these two points are highly compressed in the capital city, within a radius of millions of kilometers around us.
“Therefore, a series of favorable circ.u.mstances and coincidences led the Immortal Cultivators to their doom. The impossible task of ‘destroying the imperium’ was reduced to ‘destroying the capital city’ or even ‘destroying all the fleets of the imperium and killing all the Immortal Cultivators in the capital
city!
“Look, after my a.n.a.lysis, have you discovered that our mission is much simpler?
“As long as we annihilate Lei Chenhu’s fleet and the remnants of the imperial guards in one fell swoop, and even before we take over Empyrean Terminus, as long as we suppress the synchronous...o...b..t of Empyrean Terminus, cut off the communication with the outside world, and announce to the entire
sea of stars that the capital city has been taken over by the Star Glory Federation and that we have become the new masters of the Empyrean Terminus Sector and Empyrean Terminus, the seemingly powerful behemoth known as the Imperium of True Human Beings will collapse!
“In the entire universe, be it the worlds in the capital city that are now leaderless, the territories of the four electors who are now in chaos and attacking each other, or the peripheral worlds that are like loose sand that are swaying in the wind, there is absolutely no force that can compete with us.
“This is an opportunity. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. An opportunity that is enough to build the glorious future of the Star Glory Federation! Li Yao, can you bear to watch such an opportunity slip through your fingers?
Li Yao looked at his flagella and was speechless.
But his soul was in excruciating pain. Countless possibilities spurted out like venom.
It was true that he had thought of the same thing as Lu Qingchen, and he had thought of it a long time ago, but… but
“Right now, the most critical question remains. Can we destroy the fleet of the Star Ocean Imperium or even suppress Empyrean Terminus with our military strength?
Lu Qingchen was smiling more and more delightedly and hideously. “The federation seems to be chasing after the imperium like a moth drawn to a flame. But at such a rare moment, the scales of victory have miraculously s.h.i.+fted to our side.
“As you can see, the Immortal Cultivators of the Reformists have come out in full strength. Not only have the imperial guards and the rebels suffered heavy casualties in the fierce battles, they are running out of food and ammunition. Even their young emperor has taken the initiative to march to the
frontline.
“Haha. Your cheap brother is quite interesting. In the battles over the past half month, he has been in the limelight in front of everybody in the capital city. He has gradually replaced Li Linghai and become the soul of the new imperium. If we can capture the ‘soul figure of the new imperium’ in a short
a.s.sault, will we still have to fight the following battles?”
“Of course, of course, not only are the citizens of the Star Ocean Imperium exhausted, the expedition army of the federation is also running out of resources and cannot fight any longer.
“But don’t forget us!
“Your two children are Xiao Ming and Wen Wen, right? They seem to be in control of the entire war network of Empyrean Terminus. From the fire control system of the air defense base to the oxygen circulation system of the civil facilities, they can hack and destroy everything, right?
“In the meantime, you are also in control of the entire Gold Crystal Tower, which is a piece of powerful stellar magical equipment. With the help of the sun, your will can wreak havoc in the entire galaxy. If I can send your soul back to the Gold Crystal Tower, you will be able to send the voice of the
Cultivators to the entire Empyreal Terminus Sector through the sun, It will certainly be a great shock to all the Immortal Cultivators and the citizens, especially after you defeated the legendary f.u.xi in a glamorous performance in front of all the stars and billions of people! I believe that countless
Immortal Cultivators will be scared out of their wits just by hearing your voice.
“Lastly, me.
“Right now, the fleet of the f.u.xi fleet has only been paralyzed and hasn’t been destroyed by the federation and the imperium. Such a large fleet is still defending by instinct. How can it be destroyed so easily by the enemy who has run out of ammunition and food?
“Ican control the fleet of the f.u.xis. As long as you buy me some time and allow me to digest all the data and permissions left by the f.u.xis, I will be able to replace them and become the ‘mastermind’ of the fleet of the f.u.xis. I will be able to control the enormous troops of the Sanctuary Alliance.
“Let me see. Let me see. You can send a message to Ding Lingdang and the little emperor. Tell them that you’ve completely defeated the enemy’s mainframe and that you’re trying to clean up the mess so that they don’t have to attack in a hurry and can take a rest to replenish their ammunition.
“Just now, you released a powerful tide of spiritual energy, and the fleet of the f.u.xi Clan has stopped attacking and is completely paralyzed. They are running out of strength, too. There is no reason for them not to believe you.
“Right now, the expedition army of the federal army and the remnants of the new empire are all mixed together like a pot of porridge. It’s impossible for them to form an effective formation and fight in such a short amount of time. They are barely holding on with their last breath. As long as you tell them
the news of a great victory, they will certainly lose their confidence. Once they fall to the ground, they will never be able to get up again.
“In the meantime, you will send secret letters to Ding Lingdang, Boss Bai, and the leaders.h.i.+p of the federation, stating our strategy so that they will be more vigilant.
“When we take control of the fleet of the f.u.xis, the fleet of the f.u.xis, the expedition army of the federation, Boss Bai, you, Little Ming, and Wenwen will attack the soldiers of the Star Ocean Imperium on the ground. That will be the end of it. The soldiers of the Star Ocean Imperium will not be able to
resist our fatal attacks. The entire capital city and the enormous army of the Immortal Cultivators will be annihilated instantly. In the cruel war game, the laughter of the federal soldiers will be the last thing to be heard. Haha. Hahahaha!”
On Lu Qingchen’s back, lightning was dancing crazily. His hair was messy, and he burst into laughter..
