Unification Plan

The people behind him, including Sun Wukong, hurriedly shut their mouths after hearing Yang Hua's explanation and nodded in agreement. Judging from their expressions, though, probably very few had actually taken it to heart.

"Watching someone undergo a tribulation is normally a good thing for cultivators, but with Cang Yun's tribulation, they would have been better off not watching."

Seeing this, Yang Hua instead began to regret it. If he had known Cang Yun's tribulation would be such a farce, he never would have summoned these disciples back to watch in the first place.

The transformation continued for more than ten minutes, and Cang Yun finally achieved a half-immortal physique.

With the talent of a Nine Claw Azure Dragon, Cang Yun had cultivated for more than six thousand years before barely breaking through to the God-Devil Realm.

This was also because cultivation speed depended on one's state of mind. Although physique and comprehension were crucial conditions as well, one's temperament was the most important factor.

"Master, I've survived the God-Devil Tribulation. When are you planning to undergo your tribulation?"

After recovering some Magic Power, Cang Yun no longer remained in the air. He went straight to where Yang Hua and the others were.

"There's no need to rush. Death God Karl is showing signs of movement again. Now that you've reached the God-Devil Realm, my plan can begin."

Yang Hua shook his head, then turned to Sun Wukong and the others beside him and ordered, "You may all disperse as well. Cultivate diligently from now on and strive to break through as soon as possible."

"We respectfully obey Master's decree."

Yang Hua was clearly chasing them away. None of those capable of cultivating lacked wisdom, so after cupping their fists toward Yang Hua one after another, they all left.

"Cang Yun, now that you've entered the God-Devil Realm, I'll put you in charge of carrying out the specifics of my plan. This Venerable One will continue secluded cultivation shortly and won't emerge until after breaking through."

After all his disciples had left, Yang Hua looked at Cang Yun and slowly spoke.

"How should the plan be carried out? Which step should we begin with? Please enlighten me, Master."

Yang Hua's words left Cang Yun confused. When had they come up with a plan?

For all these years, Yang Hua and he had been cultivating in seclusion inside the Primordial Beginning Palace. Cang Yun had never heard him mention any plan.

"You don't need to know the specifics yet. Your task now is simply to follow my instructions and arrange matters in every area."

"First, notify Du Kao on the moon and have him bring Lian Feng and Yu Qin back to Earth Star. Their base of operations will be moved to Earth Star from now on. As for what they are to do, I'll give the orders when the time comes."

After Cang Yun nodded, Yang Hua explained to him one by one the matters he had planned over the years.

"Those are your current tasks. I call this plan the Unification Plan. Once it is complete, the universe will be unified and all sides will become one. At that point, we will become the masters of this universe."

After speaking, Yang Hua looked solemnly at Cang Yun. He had already conceived this plan thousands of years ago, when he subdued Ebony Star.

Afterward, following the events involving the Trilateral Bodies, the Unification Plan had gradually matured. Now, all that remained was for Karl and the others to charge into his line of fire. The moment the Taotie attacked would be the day the plan began!

"Rest assured, Master. I'll notify Du Kao and the others immediately."

Cang Yun pondered briefly before speaking.

"Once you've arranged everything in every area, stay on the moon and oversee the Technology Research Center. When the time is right, I'll give you further orders!"

Before he had even finished speaking, Yang Hua's figure vanished from before Cang Yun.

Cang Yun then bowed toward the Primordial Beginning Palace before shooting into the sky and flying toward the moon.

After Yang Hua resumed his secluded cultivation, Earth Star once again fell into peace. Time flowed like water, and gradually the year arrived at the 8,288th year of the Ancestor God Era, or the year 2000 AD.

Another thousand years passed. Compared with Earth Star's tranquility, the various forces throughout the universe were anything but peaceful.

The angels searched everywhere for traces of the demons. Led by the Left Wing Guard Angel Yan, angels were spread throughout the universe. For more than a thousand years, their figures could be seen hurrying from place to place in search of the demons.

At that moment, in the Styx Galaxy, countless warships of the Taotie Civilization were arrayed before the Great Worm Bridge leading to Earth Star in the Chiwu Star System of the Milky Way Galaxy.

The wormhole was right before them, yet the Taotie Legion could not advance even an inch.

On a massive flagship, Taotie King Shi Hao looked at the countless warships before him and ordered, "You will serve as the vanguard of this battle. You'll soon be heading to Earth Star in the Chiwu Star System. Once you arrive, do not act recklessly. Wait until I get there before doing anything."

"As for our main army, we must wait until the results of my god Karl's negotiations with the Guardian God of Earth come out before taking action."

"Do you remember that more than a thousand years ago, when I was scouting the Chiwu Star System, a mysterious God River Body appeared behind me and said that she was a god—the will of the universe?"

"Only later did I learn that she belonged to the Angel Civilization. However, she also said that our attack on Earth Star was an act brought about by my god deceiving us. Although I don't know whether that was true, we must still be careful of Earth Civilization. We cannot be careless and end up defeated."

"But what if my god really did deceive us? What if Earth Civilization is extremely powerful? Wouldn't we just be going there to die?" a Taotie warrior beside him asked softly.

"The arrow is already nocked and cannot help but be released. Besides, do we even have the right to refuse?" Shi Hao truly lived up to his title as Taotie King; he saw the situation more comprehensively than the ordinary soldiers.

Even if attacking Earth really was a trap, the Taotie had no choice but to "actively" jump into it. To a mighty god like Karl, these Aerospace-Class Civilizations were no different from those pre-nuclear civilizations.

In Karl's eyes, they were all low-level civilizations. If they refused to obey, he could simply replace them!

At the same time, Angel Zhui was remotely observing the Taotie Civilization's movements from a Nameless Star System. She had already reported her findings to Angel Yan through the dark communication network.

"Yan, I've discovered that the Taotie Civilization has mobilized in force. They've begun gathering at the Great Worm Bridge leading to Earth Star. Judging from the situation, they should launch their attack soon. What should we do? Should we report this to Queen Keisha?"

"They've begun already? Then do this: return to Merlot Heavenly Court first and report to Queen Keisha. I'll continue searching for traces of Morgana," Angel Yan's voice slowly came through.

"Understood. I'll return to Merlot Heavenly Court immediately." Before she had even finished speaking, Angel Zhui swiftly flew away from the Nameless Star System.

Not long afterward, in the palace hall of Merlot Heavenly Court, Angel Zhui told Keisha about what she had discovered regarding the Taotie Civilization.

"Queen Keisha, the Taotie Civilization is currently preparing to enter the Great Worm Bridge leading to Earth Star. They should be planning to attack Earth Civilization. How should we respond?"
