Ambitions of the Ultra-Left Faction
After several hours of traversing, the group finally arrived at the other side of the wormhole.
Looking at this plane on the other side of the wormhole, Gu Ding didn't feel that it was any different from the world on the Main Timeline. It was the same starry sky as before he traveled through it, and the positions and trajectories of the planets were exactly the same as on the Main Timeline.
"It seems the Dees Family's modifications to this Time Plane are not significant enough. I checked the surrounding thousand cosmic radii, and they are no different from the Main Timeline we were in before. Of course, it is also possible that we are in an undeveloped corner of this plane."
Sea Emperor immediately activated its scanning function, comparing the differences between this Time Plane and the main Time Plane, and concluded that there were almost no differences.
In some ways, this is a good thing. If the Dees Family really becomes exceptionally powerful, the extent to which they can modify this plane will be greater, and the difference between this Time Plane and the main Time Plane will be greater.
"All ships, in squads of ten, will disperse to search for resources. If we encounter resistance from this Time Plane, we will engage in direct combat without hesitation. The humans of this timeline have been independent from our human branch for dozens of eras and no longer belong to our human race." These words were clearly transmitted into the interior of each ship, but the voice sounded unfamiliar to Gu Ding.
"He is a celestial being of the Federal Government," Sea Emperor whispered in Gu Ding's ear.
"These guys mean they can just slaughter people who don't belong to the same human branch?!" Gu Ding frowned upon hearing this.
Upon hearing these words, a sharp glint flashed across Belanger's face.
"In Higher Plane, a branch of humanity belongs to a race. The race only implements a policy of internal protection; there is not much difference between other races, regardless of species. This is because everyone plunders and kills each other. After these gods went to Higher Plane, their views were changed, and given that they were originally the Ultra-Left Faction of the Federal Government, it is not surprising that they issued such an order," the Sea Emperor explained.
"This cannot be taken as a reason for indiscriminately slaughtering other humans." Gu Ding shook his head after hearing this.
"Once you find a resource planet, mark it with your own faction's mark. Don't mine it yet; continue exploring other resource planets. The more, the better. Just like we discussed in the previous meeting. Mining is the second step of the plan; the first step is exploration and conquest."
"If we encounter an invincible enemy, each squad should immediately contact the person in charge of this operation within their faction and mark their location. Then the person in charge will contact us, and we will arrive as soon as possible."
"Finally, everyone must remember one thing: you are not here for tourism. You are here to expand your territory. Expansion inevitably involves war, so do not hesitate when necessary. This is a battlefield, and on the battlefield, there are only your own people and enemies; there is no third identity. Therefore, do not show mercy to those who obstruct you just because they are a fleet of mortals who have not yet reached the God-rank. They are also enemies. If necessary, ordinary residents can also be slaughtered! Remember, they are no longer the same race as us!"
Hearing this, Gu Ding clenched his fists. The other party actually said that they could slaughter civilians at will, which was exactly the same as a terrorist organization that committed crimes against humanity.
In the Universe Sea, most Interstellar Pirate don't harm civilians when plundering resources; at most, they'll kill the local garrison. Only anti-human terrorist organizations would disregard the lives of civilians and commit acts like annihilating an entire planet or star system. These Celestials of the Federal Government, in essence, are not much different from those terrorist organizations.
Clearly, Gu Ding wasn't the only one who disagreed with these remarks; many other organizations also voiced their opinions. These organizations cooperating with the Federal Government were generally large, reputable entities with a clean record.
Forces like the Medicine God Alliance and the Divine Armory Pavilion are basically neutral organizations that do not participate in factional struggles. They simply make their own money and rarely clash with other forces. They have an excellent reputation among the common people and have no intention of participating in wars.
As for organizations like the Freedom Alliance, although they are powerful armed groups, they are also neutral forces and rarely clash with other powers. Moreover, the original purpose of this organization was to eliminate war and establish free nations, not to provoke war.
The Federal Government seemed to have learned of everyone's reaction. At this moment, a familiar voice came through. Gu Ding recognized it as the voice of Military Department Marshal Ba Er Sa Ze.
"Hello everyone, I am Ba Er Sa Ze from the Federal Government. What our predecessors in the Federal Government meant was to prepare everyone mentally for war, not to encourage indiscriminate slaughter. Although we are here to wage war, we are not an anti-human organization. You do not need to participate in slaughter unless absolutely necessary. But if war does break out, I hope you will be fully prepared and show no mercy."
While Ba Er Sa Ze's words didn't change the overall meaning, they were phrased much more subtly. The other factions, who were initially somewhat dissatisfied, chose to give him a way out after hearing his explanation and didn't raise any further questions. After all, the Federal Government was currently the most powerful force, and they were on someone else's territory; there was no need for internal strife.
"So your Federal Government has invited gods. No wonder you're so confident about this expedition." After hearing this, Belanger recognized the speaker, but his face showed no sign of tension. "However, low-ranking gods would only be sent to their deaths. Moreover, the presence of gods would only make them easier to locate. On the contrary, without these gods, your fleet might be able to roam freely for a while."
Gu Ding ignored the telepathic message and instead sent it back, saying, "Once the fleet separates, you will leave with us and lead us to find Hake. If you help us rescue Hake, I will set you free."
"You're not planning to participate in the resource plundering? There are plenty of resources in our plane," Belanger joked. "Besides, I know the location of a treasure. I'll take you guys to plunder it, and I can have a share afterwards."
"No interest. If you want to rob it, go ahead and rob it yourself. After rescuing Hake, we will leave this Time Plane immediately. What you do after that is none of our business." Gu Ding glared at Belanger. He didn't know if Belanger was trying to set a trap for his group, but he had no interest in the so-called treasure.
"What a heartless man. We even concocted potions together." Belanger said, throwing a disgusting wink at him.
"It wasn't about refining together, it was about sparring, and you lost," Gu Ding replied irritably.
"Alright, are you really not going to consider me joining the team? My talent as an apothecary is no less than yours, and I can already concoct True God-level potions." Belanger didn't seem to have any intention of giving up.
"No, thank you," Gu Ding replied coldly.
"Gu Ding, the fleet has split into smaller squadrons and departed. Our ship will likely be completely separated from the main force in about three minutes. Be prepared to leave at any time!" Sea Emperor's voice suddenly rang out. (To be continued~^~)
