The many civilizations of the Super God Universe spent their days in shock and dread.
Meanwhile.
Immortal Qin Empire.
"Interesting. The Immortal Qin Empire has already raised its technology to the highest level, yet it still has no technology related to the Mist... Does that mean it does not belong to technology? Or has the consciousness of the greater universe forcibly confined me here?"
Ye Chen leaned against his throne, lost in thought.
He had to choose the reward that would be most useful to him.
Ye Chen already possessed the rewards offered by the other options.
Besides, within the Immortal Qin Empire's vast super-industrialized system, he could casually manufacture more items of the same caliber.
He had no interest in those things.
Only this.
Only technology related to the Mist was what Ye Chen wanted most.
Yet the Ranking List's reward this time still did not give him what he wanted. Like the reward from Liesun Civilization, it directly gave him a finished product.
That annoyed Ye Chen somewhat.
After all, giving a man a fish was not as good as teaching him how to fish.
If he obtained technology related to the Mist, then with the Immortal Qin Empire's technological level, it would not be impossible to reverse-engineer the results and unravel every mystery of the Mist.
The problem was that it had not given it to him.
"Could it be... that the consciousness of the greater universe fears me uncovering the Mist's secrets?"
A sharp glint flashed through Ye Chen's eyes as he turned his gaze toward the Light Screen Above the Firmament.
The corners of his lips curled upward slightly.
"Now this is interesting."
This was far too interesting.
Ye Chen was almost certain that the existence behind the Light Screen was the consciousness of the greater universe.
Even if it was not, it was something nearly on the same level.
The Ranking List did not want him to obtain technology related to the Mist...
Which meant that the Ranking List did not want him probing into the Mist?
"The more you fear it, the more I want to solve the Mist's mystery."
Ye Chen chuckled and waved his hand. "Summon the Supreme Commander of the Silver Dragon Fleet."
Buzz—
After several seconds of flickering, the space beneath the throne and before Ye Chen began to twist.
Immediately afterward, a figure clad in silver-white armor, wearing a white cape and holding a spear, abruptly appeared before Ye Chen.
"Your subordinate, Zi Long, awaits Your Majesty's command!"
"Rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Yun's face was resolute, his eyes as bright as silver moons hanging in the sky.
"Immediately lead the Silver Dragon Fleet to the edge of the star region and investigate the Mist."
"Yes!"
"Take the Luban Research Ship with you."
Ye Chen took a deep breath. "The moment you find the Mist Passage, begin deconstructing the passage's technology."
"Yun accepts the order!"
Zhao Yun bowed. The space before him twisted again, and he vanished from Ye Chen's sight.
Buzz—
Within the Silver Dragon Star System, thousands of ships docked at the space fortress streamed out in succession.
Silver Dragon Star dimmed for an instant.
A colossal jade-silver warship, like a soaring dragon, appeared in the distant sky!
Mounted upon that enormous ship was a massive main cannon worthy of being called a work of art, its barrel engraved with the emblem of a silver dragon.
Hundreds of Dark Matter engines activated in unison, blazing with a brilliant pale violet radiance.
Even though sound could not travel through space, people seemed able to hear the earthshaking roar of those hundreds of engines!
Then, several thousand Silver Dragon warships surrounded the super warship and sailed out of the Silver Dragon Star System!
"Look, it's the Silver Dragon Fleet!"
"Lord Zi Long's Silver Dragon Fleet? So... so spectacular!"
"Of course! Since the Immortal Qin Empire unified the star region, the Silver Dragon Fleet has never deployed in full force like this again!"
"How wonderful would it be if I could become a member of the Silver Dragon Fleet? Damn it, I'm so jealous!"
"Being jealous is useless! How could we possibly have that kind of ability..."
Solar System, Blue Star.
The Taotie Legion had withdrawn for the time being.
The command room aboard the Giant Gorge was deathly silent.
Everyone wore grave expressions.
General Du Kao's lips were pale, and flames seemed to burn within his eyes.
"They have finally withdrawn."
There was not the slightest hint of relief in his voice.
It was hard to say whether they had truly won this battle.
The Taotie Legion's attack this time had been unprecedented in scale.
And mixed among them was the Demon Legion, which should originally have appeared in America.
The global communications system had long since failed, and they had not received any news from America's Super Alliance for a long time.
Perhaps they had already fallen.
Otherwise, the Demon Legion would not have appeared here.
Most importantly, there were the Super Soldier Squad's warriors.
Qi Lin had been seriously wounded.
Rui Mengmeng, Liu Chuang, and Ge Xiaolun had all suffered varying degrees of minor injuries.
If the Great Sage had not been there, the Super Soldier Squad might even have suffered casualties this time!
Unlike ordinary soldiers, the Super Soldier Squad's warriors possessed the bodies of Super Gene Warriors, but they had held this power for far too short a time.
With the war's casualties so severe, even Liu Chuang and Ge Xiaolun, who were usually the most detached, had grave expressions written across their faces.
Qiang Wei sat in the barracks, her head throbbing in waves.
This was the consequence of overusing Micro Wormhole Teleportation Technology.
"I'm sorry."
Di Lena sighed. "If I had come back a little earlier..."
"It would have been the same, Sister Na."
Ge Xiaolun's heart felt incomparably heavy at that moment.
"Our Blue Star has no technology or techniques capable of rivaling theirs. Once we reach the battlefield, we can only take a beating."
"The same..."
The Super Soldier Squad's warriors were all in extremely low spirits.
Just then, Du Qiangwei appeared before them.
"Come with me."
Du Qiangwei said gravely, "The angels have arrived."
Giant Gorge.
In the sky, dozens of angels with pure white wings on their backs looked down upon the Giant Gorge from above.
Every one of them was breathtakingly beautiful, their faces filled with pride and solemnity.
Seated upon the throne was Holy Keisha, the symbol of the universe's Justice Order.
The angels had descended upon Blue Star.
"State your purpose, Angel Civilization."
Du Kao said in a low voice, "The Taotie Legion has just attacked Blue Star. What is your purpose in appearing here?"
Angel Zhui said coldly, "We have no need to answer that question."
"Only Galaxy Strength has the right to speak with angels."
"You!"
Du Kao clenched his fists.
"I know you, war fanatic Du Kao."
Holy Keisha slowly spoke, her voice seeming both distant as the horizon and close beside their ears.
"You once stirred up war in the Deno Star System, intending to profit from it... What now? Have you set your sights on Blue Star this time as well?"
"Forget it. It does not matter."
"The Angel Civilization has descended upon Blue Star this time for one very simple purpose."
"To eliminate the Demon Legion."
Eliminate the Demon Legion?
Hearing this, everyone's faces showed a trace of relief.
"I heard that the Angel Civilization and the Demon Legion have always been bitter enemies. Could the angels have come to help us this time?"
"Wouldn't that be wonderful? We're already struggling against the Taotie Legion. If the Angel Civilization helps us, our chances of winning will be much greater!"
"Hard to say! If they really came to help us, why make the atmosphere so tense?"
"That's true..."
