Chapter 606: The Soulless Race

Inside the Meditation Hall.

"Huh"

Sui Bian, with his left hand supporting his forehead, breathed lightly; it seemed the vision in the "dream" was troubling even him, the Emperor who controls the multiverse.

In the "dream", he saw countless "bugs" emitting a shimmering green light, sweeping everything under a blanket, and wherever they passed, the souls of all living beings would be "suppressed" and "crushed".

Later, a certain universe would fall into endless darkness, "silence and stillness".

Sui Bian knows this "dreamscape" is some kind of glimpse into the future, or perhaps an unconscious probing; otherwise where would Shengjilesi's "future‑foretelling" ability come from.

At the same time, he also knows those "bugs" are very likely the Netherwork Beetles, which means

Space Death Spirits are about to fully awaken.

"." Upon foreseeing such a scene, a distinct "river" character appeared between Sui Bian's brows.

The present Human Empire is immensely powerful, even possessing universe‑scale weapons such as the Ark, Shield World, and the Great Device; even soldier units can serve as launch bases for nuclear and antimatter bombs.

Moreover, as the human Emperor, he also wields Spiritual Energy that can shake matter and alternate dimensions.

The theory that the Great Device can reshape a galaxy or a universe is based on the enemy forces being flesh and blood; if the enemy lacks physical form or possesses mechanical divine bodies, the Spiritual Users of each legion can still easily handle them, for example, Yifei Lei Ni alone overturned the silicon‑based civilization that ravaged Earth 109.

But

Space Death Spirits are another civilization, a death‑yet‑mighty "walking corpse".

Because of scheming and many reasons, they embarked on the path of "mechanical ascension", their souls long vanished and scattered, leaving only logical thought and mechanical divine bodies.

Thus the Great Device and Spiritual Energy attacks are ineffective against them; conversely, they can even suppress Spiritual Energy.

Headache.

Sui Bian pressed his left index finger and thumb, applying slight pressure to the temples on either side of his forehead.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing Sui Bian in a worried state, the White Queen standing to the right of the golden throne asked, "Has a situation arisen that requires an expedition‑level battle?"

Upon hearing this, the Red Queen's pupils instantly emitted a faint glow, apparently scanning the entire Human Empire's territory.

But Sui Bian simply waved his right hand lightly: "No, not now."

Speaking, he lowered his left hand that had been covering his eyes, looked at the hall guarded by the Imperial Guard, and ordered, "White Queen, inform all adult OriginalBodies to hold a family meeting immediately."

"Understood, Your Majesty." The White Queen's pupils flickered with a faint blue light.

A few seconds later, the platform of the golden throne released tiny light particles, quickly coalescing into holographic images of twenty‑one OriginalBodies.

And the moment the images formed, all OriginalBodies respectfully said, "Father."

"Mm." Sui Bian nodded in response.

Looking at his sons standing in a semicircular formation before the throne, some clad in armor, some in uniforms, he continued,

"Not long ago I dispatched Leon to the Zero Three Universe to investigate a possibly existing race, the Space Death Spirits. At that time I also shared the relevant data with you; do you still remember?"

"Remember, Father." As the interim governor of the Zero Three Universe, Lai'ang replied, "Three Earth months ago I dispatched the Dark Angel's 23rd and 24th Battalion to assist Agent Kennedy and Director Kelaofu in archaeological surveys, but even now we have found no evidence of Space Death Spirits' existence."

"Indeed." Chahatai, who co‑guards the Zero Three Universe, also replied, "Our battalion has also found no useful clues on the fringe of the Zero Three Galaxy."

"." As for Sui Meng, who also remains in the Zero Three Universe, he nodded, indicating his contingent also discovered nothing.

"Currently, Agent Kennedy and Director Kelaofu's team, guarded by our legion's 75th Battalion (Man‑Eating Shark), are responsible for security. According to the latest intelligence, they have excavated on an agricultural planet named Caron Tower relics unlike any known alien civilization," Kelakesi offered a slightly different reply.

Moreover, the OriginalBody Crow King, while responding, also projected the intelligence provided by the Man‑Eating Shark battalion commander before all brothers and their father using holography.

"I have long been aware of this intelligence," Sui Bian skimmed through, "But the purpose of convening this meeting is not merely to discuss Caron Tower; I have foreseen that the Human Empire will soon fall into an endless war far beyond what we have known before."

?!

Upon hearing Sui Bian speak, all OriginalBodies grew solemn.

Because their father rarely actively probes the future, let alone passively foresees it, the severity of this incident could very well surpass the first intersection of the Primary Universe and the Zero Three Universe.

"Father, do you mean we should launch another large‑scale expedition?" Robert, the eldest brother, asked first.

"Externally, this is merely an exercise to test the mobilization and coordination of the entire legion," Sui Bian did not answer directly, continuing, "I am certain that Space Death Spirits exist in the Zero Three Universe, so soon they will revive together.

Moreover, their technology rivals ours, and in some aspects even surpasses it; if other alien forces and the rogue entities within alternate dimensions learn that our Human Empire is being dragged into a war abyss by a soulless alien race, then at that time.

At this point, Sui Bian's tone deepened slightly: "Then, those forces that bow to the Empire out of fear will inevitably loot and betray us."

"Ha!" Hearing this, Rus immediately said, "I've long been annoyed by those elves, especially that thing called Ai…; why not cleanse a wave of aliens before we battle the Space Death Spirits, Father!"

"Watch your words," Robert retorted immediately, "Don't forget the Sangheli tribe; they are true brothers of our humanity. If your remarks spread outward, what trouble it would cause?"

"Indeed, those elites do have more backbone than the elves, never mind," Rus waved his hand irritably; he had no reason to disparage the Sangheli tribe, so he swallowed his "cleanse the aliens" remark.

"." Yet the ever‑silent Lai'ang glanced unconsciously between his elder brother and the Wolf King brothers.

In response, Sui Bian took note of his sons' subtle movements, but he did not intervene further.

After all, as long he sits on the throne, his sons will forever enjoy "brotherly harmony", and as they age they only become a bit more "stubborn".

"Enough." Sui Bian issued the order directly, "Robert, immediately mobilize the supplies needed for a large‑scale expedition and transport them to the border fortress star sector of the Primary Universe, preparing thoroughly for the upcoming "exercise"."

Also, I grant you temporary authority to mobilize all legion reserves, moving one million reservists to the border fortress star sector as well; complete all of this within five days—can you do it?

"No problem, Father."

Everyone, my classmate is getting married tomorrow and I'm the best man, so updates may be a bit slower these two days.

But after settling things these few days, my typing speed is returning; previously writing four thousand words took ages, now I can finish it in a day. It's just that I've had many side tasks lately, but rest assured, next month I will definitely update steadily, at least four thousand words daily.

Finally, thank you all for your support, subscriptions, donations, monthly tickets, and recommendation votes~
