Chapter 2455

A cold silence.

The fury and killing intent of the Emperor Realm cultivators filled this starry expanse, making the atmosphere oppressively heavy.

"This is a long-standing ailment, accumulated over countless years; it cannot be changed overnight, so I won't say more."

"Insufficient ability—this fact must be acknowledged."

The Sun Emperor snorted coldly, his voice icy: "Fearful in battle, fleeing when facing the enemy—this is hard to understand, heh, fleeing at first contact—if the sages of old saw this, they probably wouldn't dare believe it?"

"Are we their descendants?"

"Fleeing at first contact, collapsing—this is the group that shouted before battle that the Immortal Gate citizens were the universe's finest race, representing the universe's most advanced productive force."

"A bunch of trash."

The icy voice echoed.

In fact, such battle results should not have occurred.

The Immortal Gate fleet was not the fleet from the era of the Nine Spirit Realm; engaging the enemy did not mean massive casualties—on the contrary, it was the prelude to the deployment of the second-layer spatial grand formation, a far more terrifying slaughter was coming, this being a classic tactic of the Immortal Gate Immortal Dynasty era.

But as soon as the enemy approached, they collapsed and fled on their own.

"Order!"

"Retrieve the combat data of the 2231st Group Army fleet; anyone who fled in battle, whether officer or soldier, shall be executed immediately; those who persisted in combat shall be promoted beyond rank."

The Sun Emperor said calmly.

This is an order of extreme cruelty, meaning at least over a billion citizens were directly executed, and he has issued such orders at least ten times already!

This is why, in the Purple Micro Heavenly Pivot, so many citizens oppose him, even daring to shout slogans calling for his execution as an Immortal Gate Emperor Realm cultivator.

The surrounding staff hesitated, unwilling to advance.

"This—"

"Commander, this is truly— the Pivot side—"

A staff member stammered.

These are his close confidants, soldiers who share honor and disgrace, worried for him, worried for his safety.

"Carry it out."

"No need to hesitate over anything."

The Sun Emperor said indifferently: "They want to execute me? Let them—but citizens must again endure the tempering of iron and blood; those who flee in battle must die!"

"This is the citizens' duty!"

"Where do the citizens' welfare come from?"

"Ah?"

The Sun Emperor couldn't help but roar: "From battle and slaughter, from blood and fire, from victory! Not from some damned innate nobility!"

"If citizens consider themselves innately noble, then they should fear neither death nor hardship!"

"Without such awareness, all of you, go die for Daddy!"

"Go die!"

The killing intent of the Emperor Realm cultivators surged like tide and water, raising monstrous waves.

"Yes! Yes yes yes!"

The surrounding staff were startled, then hurriedly flew off to execute the order, executing those citizens who fled in battle.

Here, a moment of silence fell.

"Ten thousand years!"

"Give me another ten thousand years! Pivot, give me more patience!"

The Sun Emperor whispered: "After ten thousand years of blood and fire, sacrifice, dedication, death, we can surely awaken the citizens' martial spirit again, reawaken that invincible force representing the highest combat level of the Boundless Starry Sky, awaken our military soul—then the Immortal Gate will once again stand firm in the Boundless Starry Sky!"

"Zhan Yang, quasi-emperor, you must give me time—time."

The voice of this Immortal Gate Emperor Realm cultivator was like weeping and lamenting, each syllable like blood.

Zhan Yang, quasi-emperor.

The twentieth-generation Great Sun Dayan Dayan Jianzi of the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, now only seven hundred thousand years old—so young, so terrifying, the absolute commander of the Tai Shang Great Sun Sword Dao Army.

Compared to the previous generation's Heaven-Destroying Dayan Dayan Jianzi, he is mature and steady, skilled in politics, skilled in winning over various factions, and even more skilled in lying low—when one candidate Dayan Dayan Jianzi after another shone in the Boundless Starry Sky, gaining fame time and again, when he repeatedly faced the Immortal Gate's encirclement and suppression, he made not a sound.

But at some point, he suddenly appeared!

Like a brilliant meteor streaking across the sky, in an extremely short time he slew all candidate Sword Sons, gained the loyalty of all Great Sun Sword cultivators, reorganized and rebuilt the Tai Shang Great Sun Sword Dao Army, faced the hastily arriving Immortal Gate Tenth Deep Space Annihilation Law Fleet, and won in a single battle, slaughtering a trillion citizen fleet, piling their skulls into a mound.

These skulls still pile up in the Qin Star Domain, each citizen's distorted face and resentment clearly visible.

The Immortal Gate has always tried to retake the Qin Star Domain, destroy the shameful mound, but never succeeded—now they've been pushed to the Weaver Star Domain front.

After achieving all this, Zhan Yang quasi-emperor further displayed terrifying political talent.

He established the Reverse Immortal Alliance, binding the chaotic anti-Immortal Gate forces together, fully respecting all sides' interests, ruthlessly suppressing any force that disobeyed him, and thoroughly integrated the Reverse Immortal Alliance.

This is the foundation of the Boundless Starry Sky in the post-Tai Shang Great Ancient Emperor era: all cultivators and forces must acknowledge the existence of the Forbidden Zone Ancient Emperor Dao Army, the importance of political ability has risen to an extreme level, no longer the past situation of one person fighting alone under heaven, and this Dayan Dayan Jianzi, who emerged from countless real battlefields, is precisely such a coincidence.

This generation's Great Sun Dayan Dayan Jianzi perfectly matches the current Boundless Starry Sky battlefield, terrifying to the point of making some despair.

Know that he is only a quasi-emperor!

Everyone also knows he could ascend to the Emperor Realm at any time, but he is unwilling—he wants to lay deeper foundations, to change the regret of the nineteenth-generation Heaven-Destroying Dayan Dayan Jianzi, to achieve innovation and breakthrough on the path of the Tai Shang Great Ancient Emperor, to step out of the Tai Shang Great Ancient Emperor's barriers, and become a true Great Sun Sword Immortal Son!

He wants to condense the true primordial ancient canon!

For this goal, he can die, he can give everything!

The brutal slaughter in the Weaver Star Domain continues.

At every moment, countless citizens die in battle, countless citizens cry out while fleeing, no longer shouting all day about war, slaughter, conquest, and citizens' innate nobility.

At the same time, the number of citizens dying under the Sun Emperor's orders keeps growing.

Many have statistics: at least tens of trillions of citizens, due to unfavorable combat, have been personally executed by him—it can be said this Emperor Realm cultivator has enemies throughout the Immortal Gate, up and down, nearly all citizens hate him so much they wish to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, countless waves of opposition and impeachment surge toward the Purple Micro Heavenly Pivot.

These terrifying waves of opposition were coldly suppressed by many high-level cultivators of the immortal sects.

The Central Array Spirit Computer likewise broke free from the citizens' information blockade over the years, activated the wartime system, and executed those who stirred up trouble within the immortal sects, incited public opinion, and sought to have the frontier Emperor Realm cultivators executed, using methods even more cruel and terrifying than those of the New Year's Day Emperor Sovereign.

In a single day, an unknown number of citizens were executed.

For a time, the entire interior of the immortal sect fell silent as cold cicadas.

Only then did many people suddenly realize that the Central Array Spirit Computer was the civilizational foundation born by the sages from the war years; normally it could be swayed by public opinion and deceived by internal citizens.

But when the immortal sect faced a life-or-death crisis, the Central Array Spirit Computer immediately displayed its chilling cruelty.
