Searching in Progress

Known Universe, a certain star system.

Under Karl's organization, all the major civilizations participating in this expedition to explore the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization gathered in this star system.

According to statistics, the total number of fleet ships preparing to head to the so-called "Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization coordinates" amounted to roughly a thousand vessels!

Among them were 200 firepower ships, 500 cruisers, 200 frigates, and 100 battleships!

Though the number of these starships seemed enormous, this was actually the total scraped together from four secondary civilizations across various locations!

Karl, observing the fleet of starships floating in the cosmos through the Great Clock, nodded to himself.

Even setting aside whether these warships could fully exert their combat power, just in terms of sheer numbers, such a fleet group was already enough to destroy an entire star system!

However, for Karl, the fact that the Angel Clan had not answered his call to join them in exploring the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization was somewhat regrettable!

After all, with the angels present, their operation this time would have gone much more smoothly!

Moreover, Karl's true objective for this operation was never to destroy the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization!

He merely wanted to use these secondary civilizations as his pawns, sending them ahead to test the edge of the Cyber Heavenly Court!

Once these secondary civilizations had arranged their warships in formation, Karl activated the Great Clock and spoke in the communication channel: "Everyone, please prepare. I will now use the Great Clock to open a wormhole and teleport you to the location of the previously obtained data, helping you quickly explore the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization."

"However, because the coordinates of the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization are somewhat far from our position, and our fleet group is rather large, the final teleportation location may have some deviation. But the deviation is within a controllable range and won't be too extreme."

"If, after the teleportation, any of you in the fleet notice a deviation, you may pilot your ships independently to the true location of the data coordinates."

Though Karl spoke so grandiosely in the communication channel, as if he were truly making sacrifices for those secondary civilizations!

In reality, Karl merely wanted to use this opportunity to record the data changes caused by large-scale use of Void power across the entire universe.

Not only that, but Karl could also use this pretext to control the fleet positions of the secondary civilizations, pushing them ahead of the top-tier civilizations' fleet positions!

This way, those secondary civilizations would have no choice but to be the first to make contact with the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization!

Meanwhile, the rest of the top-tier civilizations could hang back, watching from a distance like sitting on a mountain and observing the tigers fight!

If the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization proved powerful, then these top-tier civilizations would help the Cyber Heavenly Court destroy the secondary civilizations' fleets, securing a favorable connection for their own civilizations with the Cyber Heavenly Court.

But if the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization was merely a paper tiger, with nothing truly formidable, then these top-tier civilizations would also annihilate the secondary civilizations' fleets, pin the blame on the Cyber Heavenly Court, and then proceed to carve up all the wondrous technologies within the Cyber Heavenly Court!

Death God Karl's move was a perfect kill-two-birds-with-one-stone strategy!

Regardless of whether the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization was strong or weak, Death God Karl would certainly not come away empty-handed!

But as well as he had planned, he did not know that the coordinates he had analyzed earlier were completely fake!

Su Mu had not used the reward issued to him by the Ranking System at all; instead, he had directly handed that reward over to Yang Jian, who was currently exploring the Super God Universe!

And the even more dramatic twist was that after Yang Jian received the reward and evolved his Third-Generation God Body into a Fourth-Generation God Body, he immediately led his squad deeper into the center of the Super God Universe, searching for a suitable location to begin constructing the "Star Gate—South Heaven Gate" of the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization!

For this reason, Keisha had not been wrong—this grand operation by Karl and his group was destined to be like drawing water with a bamboo basket, all for nothing!

A certain edge zone where the Known Universe and the Unknown Universe intersected.

Because this area was the border where the two universes met, it was almost perpetually silent, with even the light of stars unable to fully illuminate the entire edge zone!

Yet in the next moment, a pale blue light shattered the stillness completely!

This pale blue light was none other than the wormhole light gate opened by Death God Karl using the Void power through the Great Clock.

As the pale blue wormhole light gate slowly expanded in this edge zone, one starship after another emerged from within.

Karl moved quickly; it took almost no time at all to transport the entire "Alliance" fleet group to this location.

Looking at the desolate edge zone around him, Karl, seated in the Death Academy, suddenly spoke up in the temporary channel of the "Alliance."

"Everyone, with my current power, I can only send you this far!"

"For the remaining journey, you will need to pilot your starships and proceed on your own."

With that, Death God Karl, ignoring whether these secondary civilizations agreed or not, directly withdrew from the "Alliance" communication channel and switched to another channel—the "Top Civilization Alliance."

In this channel, not only were the capable generals of the major top-tier civilizations present, but even the main gods of these civilizations were gathered.

Seeing that no one in the channel spoke, Karl shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "Everyone, keep your ships' speed steady for now. We only need to hang far behind the 'main force.'"

"Leave the charge and assault to those secondary civilizations."

Hearing this, Pan Zhen, seated in the main hall of Cloudsoar City, snorted coldly and replied to Karl, "Death God Karl, you'd better pray that Blazing Sun gains enough benefits today!"

"Otherwise, Blazing Sun is not a civilization you can bully as you please!"

After Pan Zhen finished, Morgana also spoke up, echoing him: "Pan Zhen is right! Karl, you sick freak, you'd better pray that we all get enough compensation!"

"You know exactly what my situation is like!"

"If this time we don't let the Demon Civilization reap enough rewards, I swear I'll make your life hell!"

"Damn it, for your sake, I even sent my own Ato over to you!"

Listening to the two voices that rang out in succession in the channel, Du Kao, seated in the conference room aboard the Juxia, slowly furrowed his brow.

The remarks from Morgana and Pan Zhen made Du Kao somewhat uneasy!
