"They caused quite a stir this time. A lot of people are already dissatisfied, so you should understand what I mean."
"The tide of fate is upon us. This is our only chance—either we win, or we die. We have already failed once. Could it be that you all still want to shamelessly keep yourselves sealed away?"
The young man above swept his gaze over the crowd below and sneered. Everyone he looked at lowered their heads. They were all failures from the past.
Now, only this final path lay before them. As for continuing to seal themselves away? They no longer had the face for that.
Even if they agreed, the forces behind them certainly would not.
So this time, they would either win or die.
It was that simple.
"Good. I'll notify them at once. This time, Ye Lin absolutely must not be allowed in."
The young people below rose one after another and departed. He had a point—once Ye Lin entered, the situation here would only worsen.
The situation had only just stabilized after the previous chaos. They did not want Ye Lin to barge in again and shatter the hard-won stability.
Elsewhere, Ye Lin's army had already arrived outside the gate.
"Once we bypass the star system ahead, we'll have fully entered the core region."
The expert who had previously gathered intelligence said in a low voice.
Ahead lay an enormous star system, countless stars floating within it. Terrifying defensive formations had been set upon those stars, making each one seem like a grand formation in itself.
Powerful auras radiated from within, and their numbers were rapidly increasing. Clearly, troops were continuously being stationed there.
At the sight of this, Ye Lin already understood. Those people clearly intended to fight him head-on to the bitter end.
