Lar pointed at the star map. "The Celestial Pivot Defense Line has now been divided into 122 war zones. Every single one is an independent meat grinder."
"On our side, we have Nine Luminaries Civilization, Cangxing Alliance, Moonshadow, Shuangyue, Huiyang, Rockiron Civilization, and civilizations of every size from across the Milky Way. Their side isn't just Blood-Eclipse Civilization either. They've brought in massive armies from their subordinate civilizations."
"Many of those races are ones you'd never even heard the names of before. Now they're all piled up here, and hundreds of millions die every day."
Song Chen stared at the star map and asked, "How many Tenth Ranks does Blood-Eclipse Civilization have?"
Lar held up nine fingers. "Blood-Eclipse Civilization has nine Tenth Ranks in total. They call themselves the Nine Great Holy Lords. At least five of them are permanently stationed on the front lines."
"Among them, the First Holy Lord has already reached the Tenth-Rank Stellar-Transformation Peak. He only needs one final step to ascend."
"The Ascension Realm?" Song Chen's heart tightened.
"That's right. Half of this war is being fought for that First Holy Lord. Blood-Eclipse wants to use the flesh and blood of the Milky Way's countless civilizations as fuel to shove the First Holy Lord across that threshold."
"If he enters the Eleventh Rank, Blood-Eclipse will become a Level Five Civilization. By then, no one in the entire Milky Way will be able to stop them."

"I understand."
Lar was not nearly as weighed down by it. "You don't need to worry too much about Blue Star.
