Chapter 299: Galactic Storm

Bittern Empire, core star region.

Emperor Bijiale's emergency recall order instantly caused a huge uproar throughout the Empire.

The Honored Legion, which had been battling the proxy civilization in the border star region of the Kelo Empire,

upon receiving the order, could not wait for the front‑line stalemate and, at the fastest speed, turned its course and raced toward the Imperial Capital Star.

This move undoubtedly created a massive breach in the Eastern camp's defenses.

The Kelo Empire's proxy civilization, upon discovering that the Bittern Empire's main fleet had withdrawn,

first felt puzzled, then ecstatic. They immediately reported this anomaly to the Kelo Empire.

Emperor Ke, upon receiving the intelligence, was initially at a loss.

Bittern people are renowned for their rationality; such a retreat, almost tantamount to destroying the Great Wall, completely contradicts their usual conduct.

"That old fox Bijiale, what trick is he up to now?"

Emperor Ke sat on the throne, his brows tightly knit.

However, when the Empire's intelligence system intercepted encrypted communications from within the Bittern Empire concerning "Maximum Readiness" and "Core Defense," Emperor Ke's expression grew solemn.

He immediately ordered the Imperial Academy to fully scan the Bittern Empire's core star region, attempting to uncover the true reason for their movement.

At the same time, he intensified the push on the "Black Hole Project," intending to seize this once‑in‑a‑millennium chance to reshape destiny.

Both great Empires, each on their own abacus, accelerated the spin of the apocalypse spiral.

On the Imperial Capital Star,

Emperor Bijiale had already activated the Empire's highest‑level defense system—the "Spatial Disturbance Field" devices.

They were deployed in the void surrounding the Imperial Capital Star, forming barriers invisible to the naked eye.

This layer of shield can greatly disrupt spatial jumps and the deployment of singularity weapons.

However, it is not infallible.

Bijiale knows well that the "Singularity Generator" is a forbidden technology; since the Kelo Empire dares to develop it, it must have unique aspects.

"What is the core research progress of the Singularity Generator?!"

Bijiale's voice carried urgency.

The director of the Imperial Academy, an ancient Bittern being composed of countless photons, bowed and replied:

"Your Majesty, we have reverse‑engineered part of the theoretical model of the Singularity Generator based on the fragment data you provided.

This technology defies fundamental cosmic laws and is extremely difficult, yet theoretically it is feasible."

"The key is energy! To create a Singularity that can be stably and precisely deployed requires massive energy! How has the Kelo Empire solved this problem?"

Bijiale fell silent.

This is his greatest worry. If the Kelo Empire truly resolves the energy bottleneck, their "Black Hole Project" will become reality.

Just as the Bittern Empire was tense and preparing for war.

Far on the other side of the Milky Way Galaxy, the Yanhuang Civilization was in a state of peace.

The Interstellar Civilization Community was growing ever larger.

Under the leadership of Mao Xinyang and Shuang Ge, more and more Third-level and Second-level civilizations,

and even some fringe First-level civilizations dissatisfied with the hegemony of the two great Empires, joined this brand‑new alliance.

The Yanhuang Civilization's principle of "joint development, equal mutual assistance" is, for these oppressed civilizations, nothing less than a beacon in the darkness.

They actively participated in building the Community, contributing their resources and technology, causing the Yanhuang Civilization's energy reserves and tech repository to grow at a staggering rate.

Qin Hao, however, poured all his energy into the system's "Concept Creation" and "Civilization Upgrade."

"System, analyze the current Milky Way Galaxy situation."

He issued the command from the Command Center, speaking into an empty room.

【Analysis complete. The Bittern Empire and the Kelo Empire have entered maximum readiness. The Kelo Empire is fully advancing the "Black Hole Project",】

【The Bittern Empire is actively constructing defense systems and probing the research base of the Singularity Generator.】

【The proxy wars between the two great Empires have essentially ceased, and core forces are retracting toward their own hinterlands.】

【The Yanhuang Civilization has gained a valuable strategic development period.】

A barely perceptible curve lifted the corner of Qin Hao's mouth.

Everything proceeded according to his plan.

"System, initiate Phase Three of the 'National Psyche Development Project'."

【Command received. Phase Three initiated, expected that more Yanhuang descendants will surpass their Life Level limits, reaching the basic life‑force strength of a Fourth-level Civilization.】

Qin Hao knows clearly that the current calm is only temporary.

The two great Empires will eventually calm from their frenzy and ultimately locate him, the "disruptor".

Until then, he must, at the fastest pace, elevate the Yanhuang Civilization's strength to a level sufficient for self‑preservation, even enough to alter the entire Milky Way Galaxy's configuration.

He needs power.

Enough to make the two great Empires balk, even forcing them to acknowledge the Yanhuang Civilization's formidable power.

An epic storm sweeping the entire Milky Way Galaxy is brewing.

And the Yanhuang Civilization, at the storm's core, is quietly metamorphosing.

The direct clash between the Bittern Empire and the Kelo Empire erupted completely in a manner faster than anyone had imagined.

Emperor Bijiale ultimately chose to strike first.

He could not sit and wait for death, awaiting the Kelo Empire's successful development of the Singularity Generator.

According to the Academy's analysis, once the Kelo Empire solves the energy issue, any defense may become ineffective.

Thus, after the Bittern Empire's main fleet completed its recall and erected the core defense system,

Emperor Bijiale made a decision that shocked the entire Milky Way Galaxy:

Taking the initiative, they strike the core energy base of the Ke Luo Empire!

"Since they want to destroy us with black holes, we'll first cut off their energy for producing black holes!"

In Bi Jiale's consciousness core, it is filled with iron-blooded killing intent.

An assault fleet composed of the Bi Te En Empire's most elite Glory Legion, at extraordinary speed, tears through space,

directly jumping to an important energy supply point in the border star region of the Ke Luo Empire.

However, the Ke Luo Empire is not unprepared.

As Bi Jiale recalled his fleet, Emperor Ke faintly sensed that the opposing side might have some movement.

Although he could not fully guess Bi Jiale's true intentions, as a long-time opponent,

He knows well that once the Bi Te En people are driven to desperation, they will reveal their sharpest fangs.

Therefore, around important targets, Emperor Ke reinforced defenses with extra troops and deployed large numbers of space traps and communications jammers.

The fleets of both sides violently collide in the void.

Although the Bi Te En Empire's assault fleet is strong, under the Ke Luo Empire's tight defenses it also falls into a bitter struggle.

This is a pure contest between fourth-level civilizations; each attack, each spatial tremor, is enough to destroy several planets.

While the Bi Te En Empire launches its main assault on the Ke Luo Empire's energy base, Emperor Ke also initiates his frenzied counterattack.

"Fully advance the Black Hole Plan, and at the same time order all remaining Glory Legions to launch indiscriminate attacks on all vassal civilizations of the Bi Te En Empire,

carry out indiscriminate attacks! I will make them pay the price in blood!"

On Emperor Ke's face, extreme anger and madness are twisted.
