Chapter 795: 781 people are not like yesterday
The Number Four Spaceport on the First Galactic Star is the primary military port used by the Unified Empire’s army. To simultaneously et the supply and maintenance demands of hundreds of large and small warships, the spaceport is enormous, with a flat surface area exceeding 30,000 square kiloters and a height of over 200 kiloters, essentially the size of a small asteroid.
The First Divine General, Lv Zhinian, stood atop the spaceport, gazing down at the boundless universe. The coming and going of ships was like weaving fabric. Without the automatic navigation and port guidance systems, such dense operations would likely frequently lead to accidents.
What moved Lv Zhinian most was that all the warships here shared a unified feature, aning these warships were all constructed by the Iridium Star. Yet, the personnel serving aboard them ca from different civilizations, indicating that many civilizations have clearly found their place under the United Empire frawork of the Iridium Star.
Xu Lanzhou walked over from behind Lv Zhinian and stood beside him, also watching the shuttle of military ships, without turning his gaze to his forr subordinate.
“Not planning to visit Earth?” Xu Lanzhou asked.
Lv Zhinian shook his head: “I’m afraid everything’s changed. Although only twenty-so years have passed, too many things happened there, making it very different from the ho in my mory. And now, I am a person without a ho.”
Xu Lanzhou humd in acknowledgnt and said, “The so-called mission of the First Divine General sounds truly laughable. In the future, are you planning to oppose the United Empire?”
“Not necessarily. Perhaps by then, the Knights supporting the Chancellor would have already killed ,” Lv Zhinian said calmly, as if he wasn’t talking about himself.
Xu Lanzhou finally turned to look at him and said, “At least for now, the Chancellor has authorized you to act as a leader of the Unified Empire Army and command it in battle. I sowhat miss the days of the Star Alliance’s Universe Army, which were similar to now—starting from scratch to organize a military force, with a noble goal and imnse confidence.”
Lv Zhinian’s lips faintly curved: “But now, compared to then, it’s very different. At that ti, the Star Alliance was still unknown, but now the Iridium Star United Empire is about to rule the entire galaxy.”
Xu Lanzhou said, “The Chancellor hasn’t changed, nor have I. I will exert all my efforts to fulfill his wish to create a better world.”
“Indeed.” Lv Zhinian replied.
Xu Lanzhou no longer conversed with Lv Zhinian, left the spaceport, and soon arrived at the Chancellor’s residence on the First Galactic Star. In front of the residence was a ship girl dressed in a maid outfit, taking care of the flowers and plants even though there were cleaning robots available.
Xu Lanzhou was sowhat dissatisfied with the increasing number of won around the Chancellor but lacked the standing to oppose or the ability to change this situation.
“Miss Knight,” the ship girl politely greeted her.
“You’ve arrived just in ti. Miss Linyin has just arrived, and it is said the Swarm’s coordinates have finally been confird.”
Xu Lanzhou was filled with surprise and imdiately entered the residence, hearing Linyin’s excited voice as soon as she stepped inside: “… We’ve shifted our approach and started searching for anomalies in the cosmic background signals. As expected, we observed a very peculiar trajectory near the galactic arm. Sotis, it’s difficult to observe due to the natural mass distortion, but once it leaves celestial bodies and enters navigation mode, we can detect it. Distortion appears where it shouldn’t, which can only indicate one thing—a massive subspace entity, capable of movent.”
Bai Zhongqi quickly asked, “Is the signal confird? Are you maintaining the tracking status?”
“Yes, of course,” ca the reply.
Bai Zhongqi clapped his hands and laughed: “No doubt about it, this is the key. As long as we attack the Swarm’s subspace and eliminate them, this calamitous war will end.”
Linyin uncooperatively pointed out: “It seems you’ve forgotten the Void Demons that nearly destroyed the Seven Phoenix Civilization. Although they’re inactive now, they’re still present.”
Regarding the Void Demons, Bai Zhongqi seed less worried: “We can deal with the Void Demons later. I’m part of the Elder Race, and handling matters in the Void is sothing few can do as proficiently as I can. The most troubleso are these Insectoids. Though they aren’t overly powerful themselves, their ability to hide and strike at any mont is incredibly vexing. It’s ti to eliminate them.”
At that mont, Bai Zhongqi saw Xu Lanzhou entering and smiled, “Have you t Lv Zhinian?”
Xu Lanzhou nodded: “He seems to have changed greatly from before. Previously, he was rather bland and even boring, but inside, he was fiery. Now, both his exterior and interior appear cold.”
Bai Zhongqi lightly sighed: “At least this ti, he’s helped us. Whatever cos next, we’ll deal with it then.”
Linyin asked with so gossip: “It seems this Lv Zhinian has so ties with the Swarm Empress, could they be in a cross-species romance? Is his help against the Swarm perhaps aid at rescuing the Swarm Empress?”
Bai Zhongqi disagreed: “That Swarm Empress might have her own thoughts, but it’s clear Lv Zhinian is no longer a regular human. I can feel that.”
Linyin blinked her large eyes: “Does that an he’s no longer humane?”
“Um, it’s not that simple. His existence, after becoming the First Divine General, has transcended ordinary life forms. I am gradually able to see the interweaving of cause and effect; his existence has beco sowhat akin to a part of the system running this galaxy. Therefore, when he says he wants to maintain the balance of the Galaxy, I believe him.”
Xu Lanzhou’s face showed a slight hint of compassion: “He knows that if in the future he opposes the United Empire, he will definitely be annihilated by it, but given his position, he can’t help but do so.”
Linyin beca even more curious: “You keep going on about Lv Zhinian. He was just a Navy aircraft carrier captain before; now that he’s beco the First Divine General, he’s alone here. What makes him think he can threaten us, the Iridium Star?”
Bai Zhongqi said: “Throughout history, the First Divine General’s power doesn’t lie in having a large fleet or nurous weapons like other Divine Generals. His skill lies in influencing a situation to turn out the way he desires. If destiny and causality didn’t guide these outcos, I wouldn’t believe it at all. However, causality in my life has tied countless knots, can the First Divine General really see them clearly?”
