Chapter 339: Hundred Million Fleet Points Its Swords at Deep Space

A vanguard fleet composed of one million newest Shenzhou-class warships, together with ten huge mobile star gates,

Released from the foldable warehouse of the Void Voyager, they were orderly stationed at the base.

These star gates, upon entering the base, instantly established a stable link with the distant Milky Way Galaxy star gate network.

This means that, from now on, Qin Hao can deploy more than a billion Yanhuang troops within a few minutes,

and instantly deliver them to this foothold deep in enemy territory!

To be even more concealed, even their appearance was given stealth treatment; without reaching fifth-level civilization, one could not detect any trace at all.

After doing all this, Qin Hao stood on the bridge of the Void Voyager,

His gaze pierced the endless nebula, looking toward the dark core of the Andromeda Galaxy that exudes an ominous aura.

The corner of his mouth curled into a cold arc.

"Devourer."

"Waiting for us."

On the seventh day after the strategic meeting ended,

A shocking piece of news, through official channels,

instantly spread to every corner of the Yanhuang Civilization, as well as all member states of the Interstellar Civilization Community.

【Yanhuang Civilization's Pathfinder Exploration Fleet returns victorious!】

【The expeditionary force successfully reached the Andromeda Galaxy, discovering multiple relics of advanced civilizations!】

【In a time of peril, Qin Consultant personally took action, successfully rescuing the near-extinct fourth-level civilization, the Sailun Clan!】

【During the expedition, the fleet encountered an ambush by unknown hostile forces, but before our absolute strength, the enemy army was utterly annihilated like pulling rotten stalks!】

Each piece of news was like a potent stimulant injected into the hearts of all Yanhuang descendants.

Especially that edited and processed battle footage—on screen, hundreds to thousands of ferocious bio-warships,

under the earth-shattering firepower of the Yanhuang Fleet, shattered like foam one after another.

The entire Yanhuang Civilization boiled over completely!

"Yanhuang invincible! Qin Consultant invincible!"

"Hahaha! I knew it! Any unknown enemy, before our Yanhuang, are just clay dogs and broken tiles!"

"Too strong! Has our fleet already become this powerful!"

Fervent worship and unparalleled pride filled every person's chest.

Just as this emotion reached its peak, Qin Hao's holographic image appeared before everyone.

He stood in the Highest Council Hall of Origin Star, with the backdrop being the Yanhuang Civilization's fluttering Star Dragon Flag.

"My fellow compatriots."

His voice, through the mental network, clearly echoed in everyone's mind.

"The joy of victory is fleeting."

"What we have seen is merely the tip of the iceberg.

In that vaster dark forest, lurk hunters far stronger than we imagined.

Qin Hao's expression became extremely solemn.

"From today onward, the Yanhuang Civilization officially enters 'Level-1 Combat Readiness'!"

"I order, expand armaments! The Science Academy, Industry Department, Logistics Department—all departments must unconditionally cooperate!

"Our goal is, in the shortest time possible, to build an invincible fleet possessing ten billion Shenzhou-class warships!"

"The future belongs to Yanhuang!"

"For civilization!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The passionate speech instantly ignited everyone's bloodlust and fighting spirit.

The populace, still immersed in the joy of victory, instantly transformed this fervor into unprecedented productivity and war preparation resolve!

The entire civilization began to operate at maximum efficiency.

……

Highest Science Academy, isolation lab.

Qin Hao handed over the bio-brain sample sealed by dimensional means, along with all the battle data, to Qian Yin.

At this moment, Qian Yin's face was still somewhat pale, but her eyes were filled with a scientist's fervor.

"I want you to develop two weapons in the shortest time possible."

Qin Hao's tone left no room for doubt.

"First, the Anti-biological Weapon. I need a weapon that can, at the genetic level,

directly dismantle their biological structure, and also ignore their energy resistance."

"Second, the Dimensional Shockwave Torpedo. The consumption of the High-frequency String Vibration Slaughter Field is too great to serve as a regular weapon.

I need a small, mass-producible dimensional weapon specifically to counter their living warships."

"Can you do it?"

Qin Hao looked at her.

Qian Yin nodded firmly, her eyes resolute:

"Rest assured! With this complete sample and data, we will surely accomplish the mission!"

After arranging internal affairs, Qin Hao's gaze turned toward the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

He directly connected with Zhang Xianzhong, who was stationed in the First Administrative District.

"Issue the highest-level Red Alert to all members of the Interstellar Civilical Community."

First public disclosure of the existence of the 'Devourer,' along with combat footage of them destroying civilizations.

At the same time, the Milky Way Galaxy Joint Defense Act was promulgated.

Demanding that all member civilizations immediately hand over 80% of their existing military resources,

Including warships, production lines, and strategic materials, all to be uniformly allocated by the Yanhuang Civilization for the formation of the 'United Fleet'.

This order was domineering to the extreme.

It was practically equivalent to confiscating all civilizations' armaments for oneself.

Initially upon receiving the warning, the majority of civilizations within the Milky Way Galaxy, especially the stronger Third-level Civilizations, were filled with doubt and resistance.

They thought this was merely a pretext fabricated by the Yanhuang Civilization to further centralize power.

However, when the unedited footage recording how the Devourer scout fleet effortlessly tore through space,

how it used dimensional attacks to pulverize warships into dust was projected before them……

All doubts vanished in an instant.

In their place arose a bone‑chilling fear from the depths of the soul!

That power, that ferocious form, that terrifying essence of devouring civilizations…… completely shattered their last shred of hope.

They finally realized that what the Yanhuang Civilization issued was not extortion, but a command.

It was protection!

In the face of annihilation, surrendering military command seemed like a perfectly acceptable option.

Even, it was an honor.

The resources of the entire Milky Way Galaxy began to flow toward the Yanhuang Civilization at an unprecedented speed, in a frenzy.

After handling these matters, Qin Hao arrived at the exclusive planet prepared for the survivors of the Sairen tribe.

This planet boasted clear mountains and beautiful waters, with a pleasant environment.

Watching the Sairen people, who had struggled in the ruins for three thousand years and could finally bask in the sunlight again, Qin Hao felt little turbulence in his heart.

The elderly Elder Ailia, leaning on a cane, trembled as he walked up to Qin Hao,

leading all the survivors, they performed the most ancient and most reverent kowtow ritual before him.

"Great Lord of Yanhuang, your kindness, the Sairen clan will never forget."

"In return for your salvation, we are willing to offer all the technological data accumulated by the Sairen civilization over hundreds of thousands of years,"

"free of charge, hoping to contribute a modest effort to your great undertaking."

Qin Hao nodded, accepting the gift.

……

Late night.

Qin Hao stood alone on the highest observation deck of Origin Star.

Below, lights blazed like a galaxy‑like city.

Above, the boundless true Milky Way stretched.

He had handled everything, arranged all affairs.

The Yanhuang Civilization war machine had already begun operating at an unprecedented speed.

Yet his heart felt no ease at all.

He recalled the encounter with the Devourer Sub‑body across the star sea.

He recalled what he had glimpsed in that chaotic mental vision,

the faint, intermittent dimensional rift deep within the Abyssal Nest.

An indefinable sense of foreboding weighed upon his heart.

"Devourer……"

"Behind them lies something even more terrifying……"
