"But this deployment is personally ordered by the Marshal: with a great enemy before us, the Alliance has no reason to retreat, nor will we willingly fall behind. If we can sail together with the myriad civilizations of the cosmos, sharing the same boat and overcoming hardship, we must then stake our lives without wavering."

Ji Zi said with relief: "The righteous cause of the Alliance. It is truly fortunate that the Galaxy can have heroes and champions like you."

Fu Xuan: "You flatter me. As for that alliance jade omen, you may keep it for a more urgent moment to use."

"The object sought by the Xianzhou Alliance should be Nan Nu Ke's drop of golden blood, right?" Marusil watched the flames dancing on the bonfire, "Using the golden blood of Destruction to temper blades and arrows……Could it be that the Xianzhou Alliance intends to harness the power of 'Destruction' to forge some weapon for slaying the 'Fengyao' Star God?"

Qierchake let out a soft sigh: "Yes, although 'Destruction' is a threat to the cosmos, if used properly, it can also become a 'weapon'. Whether it kills or saves, isn't that still up to the user?"

Thinking of the future Kafka had previously displayed, Marusil felt a sudden emptiness in her heart and could not help but say resentfully: "But I feel that using the power of 'Destruction' is still too radical; I fear playing with fire and burning oneself. Someone always thinks they can control the remnants of a Star God, but I think, all who harbor such thoughts have their minds filled with arrogance."

"Zandal is precisely realizing his god-slaying plan step by step within the 'arrogance' you speak of." Qierchake, while using a small knife to cut the grilled meat on the bonfire, said without lifting his head: "He is making use of the abandoned neurons of Erudition Venerate, crafting an Envoy capable of slaying Star Gods. If it were not for the Galactic Alliance stopping him, what do you think the success rate of his entire plan would be?"

Marusil rested her finger on her chin, pondering slightly: "Probably around……seventy or eighty percent? What about you? What do you think?"

The small knife in Qierchake's hand paused slightly: "I think he will not succeed; the success rate is zero."

"Zero?"

Marusil froze, pointing her spoon at Qierchake: "Hey hey! How could it possibly be zero? No one understands Erudition Venerate better than Zandal!"

"He indeed understands Erudition Venerate……this point I do not deny." Qierchake flipped the grilled meat on the bonfire: "But even if the Company, the Xianzhou, and the Sea-Wandering Rangers all stood idly by at the birth of Tumu, Black Tower and Screw Gum would not simply wait idly; they will surely take some action to interfere with Zandal……and with Tumu."

"I am not disbelieving Zandal; I simply have greater faith in the conscience of the Black Tower Lady and the calculations of Erudition Venerate."

Ji Zi activated a communication request from the Company, and the vanished Shajin reappeared alone before her.

"Unfortunately, Miss Ji Zi. I must admit that on the Tumu issue, the Strategic Investment Department has also been constrained everywhere, making it difficult to respond to the expectations of the Xingzhou Train. But……" Shajin dragged out the last word very long and long, "……Jade Lady still instructed us to look after the Wumingke Friend as much as possible. So from my personal perspective, let me give you all a small piece of advice."

"Perhaps, other departments of the Company will also seize the opportunity to extend an olive branch to you……At that time, I hope the Xingzhou Train will remember that, in these difficult times, even if the Shixin Ten cannot move an inch, they are willing to stand alongside the 'Pioneers'—and moreover, it is only we who are willing."

As he spoke, Shajin gave a light laugh: "It sounds very much like a threat, doesn't it? But please believe me, these words all come from the heart, utterly true and certain."

A look of helplessness appeared on Ji Zi's face: "The internal divisions within the Company have already become this severe?"

"The disagreement between 'Diamond' and Osvaldo is known to all, but previously at least a stalemate was maintained……until the entry of this 'Casting King' into the board's sight——I won't say more, as it involves confidentiality; please understand."

"I understand; the urgent matter is to handle the Tumu crisis. May we have a victorious start, and perhaps it could also ease everyone's urgent need."

Inuyasha.

"It seems not only are there divisions between different factions, but factions themselves are also divided, with internal strife never ceasing."

Thinking of the similar situation of the Xianzhou Alliance, Sango also could not help but let out a soft sigh: "Clearly the Tumu crisis is already imminent, why do these people still have the energy to fight among themselves? Do they truly not worry about this situation at all?"

"Think about what the Company has previously endured." Milele, standing aside, gently wiped his staff, counting each point: "Cosmic Locust Plague, Two Anti-Organic Wars……These wars, capable of altering the cosmic power structure, far exceed the scale of Tumu, yet the Company has gone through them all. Moreover, do you still remember what that Jade Lady said? In the battle of Tumu, in the eyes of these P46 executives, it is equated with the battle of Zhuoluo."

"If I recall correctly, the battle of Zhuoluo could be said to have filled its ranks with the lives of the Sea-Wandering Rangers." Gewei frowned slightly, "That battle also seemed to utilize the power of the Breeding Insect Swarm, paying an immeasurable sacrifice to slay a great lord. But Tumu……"

"Compared to Zhuoluo, doesn't that show the Company places great importance on it?" Inuyasha blankly stretched his head forward.

"Idiot!"

Gewei slapped Inuyasha's forehead with a palm, sending him stumbling forward: "Precisely because of comparing with Zhuoluo, it shows the Company's insufficient regard for Tumu! As of now, they have all treated Tumu as a mere Envoy, completely unaware that once this fellow connects with Erudition Venerate, what consequences will arise!"

"Moreover, they actually still have the time and energy to engage in internal strife here……Truly infuriating! If I were to say, it would be better to dispatch several hundred warships to the frontline for combat than to waste this effort."

"Hehe, internal strife will never cease." Milele smiled helplessly: "Internal strife leads to destruction, but even if destruction comes, they will still engage in internal strife. Perhaps one day the Company will truly see its influence weakened due to escalating departmental strife……but that certainly will not be now."

"The communication of the Sea-Wandering Rangers has been interrupted, so Ji Zi can only try to contact the Family Representative."

"The signal was activated, and lo, a Pipixi person with a tuft of fur on their head appeared before her."

"…Is this Miss Ji Zi?"

"…It is me." Ji Zi gave them a once-over, "Are you… Miss Zhigengniao?"

"…Yes. I was unable to respond to the earlier meeting, and now I can only appear in disguise; I am truly sorry." Zhigengniao lowered her head, "I hereby represent the Pinokangni Branch Family in extending my apologies to all. We have sought aid from the Family——Unfortunately, the response has been sparse."

"I have also heard of the internal strife within the Family. Miss Zhigengniao need not apologize; every bit of strength at this moment is exceedingly precious."
