Chapter 1769: Chapter 863: Bai i’s Identity and External Forces
Song Chi took a deep breath and quickly tapped several tis on the star chart hovering over the main control console. The star trail at the edge of the Laniakea River System Cluster instantly lit up:
“Transmit my order, the Third, Seventh, and Ninth Fleets are to imdiately leave their current defense zone, carrying all seized strategic resources, including over ninety percent of High Rank Torch Captains, and return at once. Target—reinforce Chaos God Land [Torch Human Emperor City].”
“Lord Greedy Wolf,” the adjutant’s voice carried hesitation.
“These three fleets are the main force responsible for subduing the recently pacified Dark Star Clan. Once they withdraw, a change in the Laniakea River System Cluster could occur.”
“Change?”
Song Chi’s eyes turned icy cold.
“If [Human Emperor City] falls, the Ancestral Domain will be completely exposed to the prying eyes of multiple Transcendent Forces. Although most of those Transcenders, Eleventh Rank, or even Tenth Rank Mythical Alien Races cannot directly invade the Shattered Starry Sea, the number of Living Beings achieving Myth in the current era will not be small. At least, it is not sothing our Torch Civilization alone can withstand. By then, let alone the Laniakea River System Cluster, even our Torch Humanity Ancestral Domain will fall!”
“Moreover, do not forget, [Human Emperor City] occupies over forty percent of all our Torch Civilization’s Super Rank Enhancent resources and additional promotion resources. Without Human Emperor City, do you think our Torch Humanity can maintain such an astonishing expansion speed?”
“[Human Emperor City] must not fall!”
Song Chi’s voice had never been as heavy as it was now. The light from the control console illuminated his tense jawline, further accentuating the undeniable determination he displayed at this mont.
[Human Emperor City] is the bottom line of the entire Torch Humanity Civilization.
He understood the thoughts of the adjutant from the Akelmon Royal Family of the Holy Hall Federation, who had only recently been promoted to Superdinsional Captain.
In his view, the Torch Civilization has already seen the ergence of two Mythical Ship Captains in a short span of over ten thousand years. Now should be the golden period of high-speed developnt and expansion for the Torch Civilization. As for [Human Emperor City], if it really cannot be held, why not temporarily abandon it?
After the Torch Civilization digests all the gains from its rapid expansion, it can later attempt to recapture or rebuild a brand-new Chaos City. These are viable options.
However, to Song Chi and the few true peak Torch Human Emperors of the Torch Civilization, this is a major mistake.
If the Chaos Demon Ape Clan had not declined, if it were not for the events related to [Heaven-Fighting Relic – High-dinsional Sea] thousands of years later, this might be a good choice.
But, it is not.
With multiple Transcendent Forces and countless Peak Clans collectively invading, coupled with the ergence of [Chaos Wonders – High-dinsional Sea] in thousands of years, the Heavenly Ape Star Realm will inevitably remain in this state of extre chaos for tens of thousands, even a million years, unless the Torch Civilization is willing to withdraw from the Chaos Divine Land for a million years.
Clearly, this is absolutely impossible. The Torch Civilization has only existed for a little over 300,000 years.
…
The adjutant in the communication channel appeared particularly pale. He opened his mouth as if wanting to argue further but succumbed under Song Chi’s intense gaze.
“Execute the order.” Song Chi’s voice was not loud, yet it struck like a heavy hamr on everyone’s heart in the group chat.
“Within seventy-two hours, I want to see the three fleets regroup, return to the Ancestral Domain through the super-distance space teleportation star gate.”
The adjutant straightened his back, clenched his right hand, and placed it against his left chest—this is the most solemn military salute of the Holy Hall Federation:
“As you command, Lord Greedy Wolf.”
As the adjutant turned to leave, Song Chi’s gaze returned to the star chart.
The starlight of the Laniakea River System Cluster flickered before his eyes, and those river systems that had just raised the Torch Flag now faced the fate of falling once more.
Due to the turmoil on the Origin Divine Land side, the scale of this expedition fleet was not considered particularly strong to begin with. If three of the core ace fleets were drawn away, any slight disturbance in the Laniakea River System Cluster would likely strip the expedition fleet of its magnificent exterior.
“Have you really decided?”
A gentle female voice ca from another private channel.
Song Chi didn’t need to think to know who it was—one of the [Shaking Light Star Tower] mbers, Bai i.
Or rather, Ying Jing, the legitimate daughter of the highest-ranking commander of the Xian Qin Divine Dynasty faction in the expedition fleet, the Eldest Princess of the Xian Qin Divine Dynasty, and Ying Yi’s younger sister Ying Li.
Song Chi had long had various speculations about Bai i, or rather Ying Jing’s identity, and only truly knew a few hundred years ago.
Upon learning her true identity as the legitimate daughter of the Xian Qin Eldest Princess, Song Chi was indeed quite surprised at first, but only so, as he had already prepared himself ntally.
Hearing Bai i’s inquiry, he didn’t even think before responding directly:
“There is no other choice.”
Song Chi’s fingers swiped across the star chart, marking the withdrawal routes of the three fleets.
“The latest battle report from the Chaos Divine Land shows that the Sand Spirit Clan has broken through the Seventh Line of Defense.”
Bai i’s eyes flashed with a hint of thought.
“But you know, even if all three fleets return to reinforce, facing those six Transcendence Armies is still…”
“A drop in the bucket.” Song Chi took her words and managed a wry smile.
“I certainly know. But so things are not asured by success rate.”
“And, it is not as if there are no ways to break the deadlock…”
At this, Bai i’s eyes filled with intense curiosity, but Song Chi did not say any more, instead swiftly issuing several more orders.
“All ship captains imdiately activate the highest authority, and all non-combat ships are to be fully converted into resource transport ships. I want the defense line of [Human Emperor City] to be three feet thicker within a century!”
