"Was this a trap the Star Alliance had deliberately laid?"
As Liang Ji looked at the eleven star systems rapidly spreading around him and the 'Imitation Celestial Star Array Diagram' linking them together, a suspicion flashed through his mind.
It was clear that the Void Demon Race, high-ranking deities, Elemental Spirits, and others attacking from all directions were trapped inside the 'Imitation Celestial Star Array Diagram.'
That meant that even if they had yet to wipe out all the high-ranking Void Demons, deities, Elemental Spirits, and others who had infiltrated the star domains behind the front line, they had certainly trapped most of them.
And as long as the Star Alliance's pioneering forces captured and killed all the Void Demons, deities, Elemental Spirits, and others next, they would likely have nearly swept the infiltrating enemies from those rear star domains.
There would even be far fewer enemies on the front-line battlefield, and they would be much weaker, making the upcoming Pioneer War easier.
So, taking in the situation across the battlefield, Liang Ji immediately deduced that the Star Alliance had deliberately set this trap for the Void Demon Race, the deities, the Elemental Spirits, and the others.
"Or rather, this is the Star Alliance's open gambit!"
Liang Ji understood. Once the Star Alliance's pioneering forces had surrounded and suppressed the Central Black Hole—and even found a way to counter the 'Heavenly Demon Power Tide' erupting from within it—this battle of encirclement and annihilation had probably been inevitable.
But whether it was a trap or an open gambit, to Liang Ji, the battlefield before him was the perfect place to harvest resources and gather enough materials to upgrade three Star Palace Inheritances.
"Now that I've collected enough Seventh-Tier bloodlines to upgrade the 'Bloodline Atlas,' all that's missing are the materials needed
