Li Xuancang was determined to establish the Starry Sky Marketplace, leaving everyone caught between a rock and a hard place.
They had already greatly displeased Li Xuancang by rejecting his proposed counterattack. If they refused again, Li Xuancang might well act on impulse.
"Lord Li, the establishment of the Starry Sky Marketplace cannot be rushed. We can proceed step by step."
Dongfang Shenhuo wanted to stall for time. As long as some time passed and Li Xuancang's attention shifted away from this matter, the problem would resolve itself.
"Lord Li, we agree to establish the Starry Sky Marketplace, but it cannot be accomplished overnight."
Zhang Mingyang saw through Dongfang Shenhuo's intentions and spoke up to cooperate.
"It is enough that you all agree. I will personally take charge of this matter, and I hope you will cooperate when the time comes."
The Starry Sky Marketplace could not possibly be established in a short time. Li Xuancang had never expected it to be built quickly either; he still needed to contact other great worlds.
"Everyone, the Insect Race's attacks are growing increasingly fierce. Marshal Linghu believes that the Insect Race's main army will soon arrive. How should we respond?"
When Yan Fa brought up the Insect Race, the great hall immediately fell deathly silent.
The Insect Race was terrifying. The portion currently fighting the Divine Dynasty was only part of their forces; the Insect Race's main force was still making its way through the universe.
Just a fraction of the Insect Race had already left the Divine Dynasty exhausted. It was impossible to imagine how powerful their main force would be.
"Send reinforcements first. We can only cross the bridge when we come to it."
Nangong Cang voiced his opinion for the first time.
They could not surrender the defensive line.
