The Immortal Sect's transfer orders moved swiftly.
Just over twenty years later, Divine Mechanism True Venerable's Second Front Army fleet had withdrawn from the battlefield. Passing through several middle thousand world nodes via super teleportation arrays, it finally arrived at the realm passage of the Ancient God Domain.
"Welcome, welcome."
"Senior Divine Mechanism, it has been many years."
Jiang Ding personally received him at the spaceport, clasping Divine Mechanism True Venerable's hand in both of his and giving it several firm shakes.
His gaze turned toward the Second Front Army fleet.
After centuries of hard fighting, many warships carried the weathered traces of wind and frost. Their decks were covered in repaired patches, and they radiated fierce Killing Intent. The fleet's overall condition was clearly a full tier above that of the Ninth Front Army.
Warships repeatedly repaired like this were treasures of the battlefield, precious assets of the Immortal Sect. Their combat strength far surpassed that of brand-new warships.
If they underwent generation after generation of upgrades, incorporating new materials, carrying new technologies, and being refined by generations of cultivators, they would find it easier to eventually give birth to planetary-class warships, even stellar-class warships.
This was the Immortal Sect's inherited magical treasure, refined by generation after generation of citizens.
"If we were speaking of our true bodies,"
"Then it truly has been a long time."
Divine Mechanism True Venerable smiled bitterly. "You brat are far too dangerous now. If I were still serving in the Immortal Sect Central Army Group, I would not dare approach you at all, lest the Immortal Sect Central Army Group be placed in danger."
He spoke frankly, without concealing anything.
"Hahaha!"
"You seniors truly are seasoned statesmen, planning for the nation."
Jiang Ding laughed heartily and paid it no mind.
