Protagonist:
Xuan Ge
On the All-Reality Battlefield, shattered starship wreckage drifted in the Void; pale red energy halos intertwined with stardust, sketching a tragic battlefield tableau.
The fleets of the Luofu and Shen Wu Xian Zhou have been locked in bitter combat with the Abundance Coalition here for decades, fighting large and small battles totaling a full hundred engagements.
Every single one was accompanied by blood and flesh flying and starship annihilation; the silence of the All-Reality had long been utterly shattered by cannon fire and killing sounds.
Even with the two Xian Zhou conducting joint operations, even with the two Xunlie Envoys Xuan Ge and Jing Yuan personally holding the frontline, they still dared not rashly initiate a decisive battle.
Stardust was churned into ceaseless surging by the Abundance Coalition's energy disturbance; the dense, black masses of fleets resembled locusts crossing the border, obscuring half the starry sky.
That scale, massive to the point of suffocation, merely suspended there, was enough to inspire dread.
If a coalition of such volume were to rampage on the Luofu Xian Zhou, the entire Xian Zhou would likely sink several degrees, and its hull structure would suffer severe damage.
As for the Shen Wu Xian Zhou, it couldn't even contain this torrent.
At this time, the Cloud Knight Warships led by Jing Yuan had completed their jump and successfully rendezvoused with Xuan Ge's Shenwu Warships.
Tens of thousands of warships were scattered across the All-Reality; the black Shenwu hulls and silver-white Cloud Knight hulls intertwined into a steel torrent.
The pale blue glows emitted during the ship cannons' energy accumulation resembled stars, majestic in momentum, far surpassing the oppressive dead silence of the Antimatter Legion.
Inside the Zhi Hui Shi of the Shenwu First Army flagship, the holographic projection cast a clear strategic route map; red and blue light points represented the Coalition and Xian Zhou forces respectively, distributed densely across the star chart.
Xuan Ge wore the General's Armor, hands hanging naturally at his sides, fingertips unconsciously tapping the armor plates, emitting a soft "tap tap" sound.
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Jing Yuan before the projection, brows slightly furrowed, golden eyes fixed on the star chart, gaze deep, yet he was not pondering the war deployment before him, but rather seemed to be contemplating something more fundamental.
"Jing Yuan, we can only break their spine, but cannot kill cleanly."
Xuan Ge's voice broke the Zhi Hui Shi's silence, tone flat yet carrying undeniable certainty.
Jing Yuan stood with hands behind his back; hearing Xuan Ge's words, he turned his head slightly to look at Xuan Ge, and after a moment, nodded lightly:
"Correct. The selfless compassion of the Plague Author has brewed countless calamities in the All-Reality."
"Chuckle~" Xuan Ge crossed his arms, his shoulder armor swaying slightly with the movement, emitting a faint metal collision sound.
He raised an eyebrow, his gaze toward Jing Yuan holding a hint of amusement:
"You might as well just say Abundance has no after-sales service; why take such a huge detour."
"Besides, the Abundance Orthodoxy....."
"Mmph!"
Xuan Ge's words were unfinished when Jing Yuan, quick of eye and hand, reached out and clamped a hand over his mouth.
Jing Yuan's face bore an expression of speechlessness mixed with caution; his narrow eyes were full of helplessness.
What Xuan Ge would say next, he could guess with his toes — nothing but that line: "Abundance Orthodoxy in Xianzhou."
If those words spread out, never mind whether they could incite civil unrest; the Marshal's Place alone would be enough for Xuan Ge to drink a pot.
Jing Yuan could even imagine the scene: the Marshal hearing those words, expressionless, giving Xuan Ge another Inch Force Opening Heaven.
Xuan Ge was stunned by the muffling, then reacted; a flash of laughter flickered in his golden eyes.
He raised both hands in a surrender gesture, indicating he would shut his mouth; the corners of his mouth curved upward slightly beneath Jing Yuan's palm, carrying a touch of prank-successful cunning.
Only then did Jing Yuan slowly release his hand; looking at Xuan Ge's roguish grinning appearance, he shook his head lightly in helplessness, tone carrying a hint of indulgence:
"You really aren't afraid the Marshal will give you an Inch Force Opening Heaven?"
"Tch~" Xuan Ge gave Jing Yuan a white eye, pouted, tone carrying a hint of grievance.
"Hehe~ If you have the ability, don't attack.
Last time, if not for Yan Lao lacking martial virtue, sneak-attacking my 'Cause,' then the Flatboard Immortal couldn't have touched my 'Effect.'"
Speaking, Xuan Ge subconsciously covered his own stomach, as if still savoring the pain from that time, tone carrying a hint of grievance:
"The Marshal's punch nearly knocked out the meals I ate hundreds of years ago."
Hearing this, Jing Yuan forced back laughter, shoulders trembling slightly, narrow eyes full of mirth.
He couldn't help recalling the absurd things from when Xuan Ge had just assumed the Shenwei General post.
At that time, Xuan Ge had just assumed high position, yet before all the Heavenly Generals, he spoke boldly to the Marshal:
"Xuan Ge is unworthy, yet chosen by the Emperor Bow; how then can one hold the thousand-year Marshal title?"
Good fellow — this was openly wanting to challenge the Marshal's authority, even wanting to replace him.
Back then, although Xuan Ge had already become a Xunlie Envoy, he had never shown his hand before the crowd; no one knew his true strength.
But the Marshal was an old-school expert, and had long since figured out Xuan Ge's temperament completely.
This kid was wild enough, arrogant enough, and even dared come straight to the door for a duel; the Marshal naturally would not stand on ceremony, agreeing to Xuan Ge's challenge on the spot.
That contest — the commotion wasn't large, because only the world where Xuan Ge was injured was achieved.
The Marshal's first move probed out Xuan Ge's core ability — Causal Power.
Xuan Ge's speed was like lightning, his power unparalleled, a top-tier existence among mechanic anomalies, yet his defense was terribly poor — a typical glass cannon.
Yan Lao saw through Xuan Ge's mechanic, then subsequently without warning attacked, secretly interfering with Xuan Ge's "Cause."
The Marshal seized this opportunity; one Inch Force Opening Heaven precisely struck Xuan Ge's "Effect".....
One punch down, directly curling the unrivaled Shenwei General on the ground; half a day he couldn't recover, nearly passing away right there.
The Marshal stood stunned in place; she had clearly only used four-tenths strength.
Later the Heavenly Generals also learned Xuan Ge's ability: as long as two or more Envoys acted together, they could pin Xuan Ge to death.
But words return: Xuan Ge's speed reaches the extreme, and not every Envoy is like the Marshal.
One careless moment and Xuan Ge can instant-kill you.
"Okay Okay Stop Complaining."
Jing Yuan patted Xuan Ge's shoulder, Laughter in Tone, Pull Thoughts Back Reality.
"Serious Business. Need Lead Troops First to Designated Location Intercept Them, disrupt their marching rhythm.
If they march according to the planned route, Subsequent Pursuit Trouble You."
"Hehe Confident Laugh."
Xuan Ge Confidently Smile, nodded.
Immediately, he Change Topic, Dai Zhe a few points Tease tone said:
"Send Dan Heng Over then, put in my General's Mansion Safer Than Youshui Prison."
Jing Yuan Corner of Mouth Twitch, he Figured Out, Xuan Ge this wants to use Dan Heng as free labor.
Want Him Help Work, also want to occupy "Protect" name, Abacus Beats Precisely.
"Fine, then Trouble You General Shen Wei."
Jing Yuan Ya Zhi heart's Complain, Calm Tone said.
Finish Speaking, he Turn Around Dui Zhe behind Personal Guards nodded, Lead Personal Guards Big Strides Flowing Stars Walk Out Zhi Hui Shi, towards his Cloud Knight Warship go.
Xuan Ge Stand Original Place, watch Jing Yuan's figure disappear at Men Kou.
Soon, window outside transmit Warship Jump Buzz, he walk to Xian Chuang front, watch Cloud Knight Jian Qun turn into streaks pale blue light tracks, Zhu Cheng disappear in Deep Universe.
Just then, Zhi Hui Shi Men lightly pushed open, a wearing Shen Wu military uniform soldier quick steps walked in, expression serious Dui Zhe Xuan Ge Salute:
"General, Fifth Warship discovered Destruction Fluctuation, suspected Antimatter Legion traces."
"Good, I know, go down." Xuan Ge lightly ordered, tone inside hear not out any emotion.
"Yes!" Soldier again Salute, Turn Around retreated out.
Zhi Hui Shi inside again restore silence.
Xuan Ge Slowly Turn Around, again look toward window outside boundless Xing Kong, Shen Shen Universe middle, stars twinkle, Fang Fu Hide countless secrets and dangers.
His mouth corner slightly Hook, Low Voice murmured:
"Xing Xiao, I come catch you~"
