Chapter 145: Ancient Eastern Wisdom

Don't say the Bridge is dead silent.

Even the few pairs of eyes behind that have just reacted are likewise rarely silent.

The Emperor held back for a long while, yet still didn't know what to say.

The Four Gods wore an increasingly interested expression, satisfied as they watched Xisi bring new "good fun" to their "eternal game".

The Four Gods' purpose is not truly to annihilate the Human Empire; otherwise Jianqi wouldn't have been helping the Emperor handle the Empire's filthy internal affairs for ten thousand years.

The Four Gods pursue the eternal game, which is endless pain, despair, and the "interesting" souls behind those emotions.

War is merely the most direct means to stimulate those souls.

So when the Four Gods realized that Xisi was preparing to pull out the former Rebel Forces and take them to Terra again—this time to save Terra—they were already delighted at the thought that Terra's loyalists would see their Divine Emperor being rescued by the former Panbian Juntuán. The Four Gods even began to grin inwardly.

They were even more eager to see this scene as soon as possible.

And because the fight is against the Terran while the rescue is of Terra, it also avoids the Divine Emperor being forced to actually stand up from the golden toilet, letting everyone finish together.

Thus at this moment, the Four Gods and the Emperor are surprisingly in rare agreement!

Being able to mock the Emperor while achieving their own goal—could anything make the Four Gods happier?

So when Xisi said that, the Four Gods behind him offered no objection; the Emperor, though unable to swallow it deep down, thought this terrible situation left only this path with any prospect!

The glances behind reached a consensus at this moment; the people on the Bridge stared blankly at Xisi, confirming their master wasn't joking, and even Bunoke set down his food, feeling the urge to advise Xisi.

No!

Is this damn reasonable?

After all that, our master also wants a grand birthday celebration?!

The purpose no longer matters; when Xisi truly brings the Eye of Fear's Rebel Forces to Terra, they have no idea how many people the National Church and the Empire's propaganda department will have to have after the war, burning out countless hairs, to spin it as yet another bright, upright, unprecedented great victory of the Empire over the Alien Form!

They also have no clue how to describe the Imperial dual‑church saints who turn the tide in this crucial battle, nor the troops under their command.

However, compared with the worries of the National Church and the Empire's propaganda department, after a dumbfounded half‑minute, everyone collectively cleared their throats, feeling that if they didn't persuade any longer, they'd damn well become Rebel Forces themselves!

"Lord, I think Terra's situation..."

"Actually, it's not that urgent."

Fanluosi forced himself to speak, and even Daiweiluo, upon hearing it, quickly nodded.

Xisi made sure those few pairs of eyes behind him hadn't glared, and the Divine Emperor's big slap hadn't appeared; finally he let out a huge sigh of relief, then, with eyes shining to the extreme, looked up again.

"We can't bring everyone in; the Eye of Fear is complicated, we'll go with a single ship."

He didn't even heed Fanluosi's final struggle; as long as those few old beings behind have no objection, whether it's Fanluosi, Kiriman, or Tula Zhen standing before him, he would even dare to give them two slaps!

"The fleet happens to need repairs, and the troops need re‑equipment training; during this time we can choose a star sector near the Eye of Fear for the troops to gather, and accept other arriving follower units later."

Xisi continued speaking, already beginning to consider troop deployment and placement.

This get‑it‑done efficiency also completely shut down Fanluosi's attempt to persuade.

Then, the more Xisi thought about it, the more promising it seemed, and he suddenly rose from the table and chairs, standing atop a titanium Empire skyscraper.

Against a backdrop of countless Alien Form wails behind him and the Empire's daily scene of human‑spawned raging fire from the sky, he clenched his fists tightly.

"Fanluosi leads the fleet to the star‑sector government for repairs, and continues to gather Imperial Troops."

"After providing Aolake with three‑fold supplies, the rest will board Aolake."

"We head to the Eye of Fear immediately!"

Eye of Fear.

It is a nightmare that haunts the Human Empire for its entire existence.

Countless wars erupt from it, and countless nightmares are born from it.

Here is not only the largest rift where Subspace corrodes the real universe, but also the ultimate destination of the Human Rebel Forces.

In fact, the Eye of Fear is not Subspace; fundamentally it remains a part of the real universe.

Only because a Subspace rift appears here, endless Subspace Energy envelops this star region, turning it into a world between the material universe and Subspace.

Here, physical laws nearly fail, and Subspace laws begin to dominate.

The ever‑changing strange laws also attract countless Mechanical Church members to conduct research.

Of course, these Mechanical Church members eventually become the Dark Mechanical Church, and for the Chaos Grand Army within the Eye of Fear, forge one blasphemous machine after another.

Those scarce ecological planets, after being seized by the Chaos Rebel Army, undergo various blasphemous rites, mutating into demon worlds.

According to the differing patron evil gods, these demon worlds display different "sceneries".

Although the sceneries differ, one thing is the same: these demon worlds forever echo with the endless wails and despair of plundered mortals.

If outsiders think these are already the greatest horror, they greatly underestimate the Eye of Fear.

Because beyond the countless Chaos Rebel Army, Mechanical Church, and A-space Demon within the Eye of Fear...

Under prolonged corrosion by Subspace evil energy, even the planets themselves begin to mutate.

Many planets directly transform into terrifying entities in space—some sprout gigantic mouths, others become twisted flesh balls, hunting any unfortunate soul who wanders in.

Especially as Kadia falls and the Great Rift unfolds, while Xisi frantically reinforces his Conscription World Alert Star, the Subspace evil energy of the Great Rift begins to spread wildly.

This is why the Alert Star is important.

Because if the Alert Star also falls, the unrestricted Eye of Fear Great Rift would sweep across the galaxy!

At this point, the outer rim of the Eye of Fear.

Dense Subspace evil energy surges wave after wave into the real universe; the surrounding world is no longer the usual dark, tranquil void, but a vivid, eerie crimson.

A shattered world, where countless Chaos Rebel Army and Dark Mechanical Church erect numerous forts and vile factories on the fractured continent.

Subspace Energy tightly wraps, licking freely this planet that once imprisoned it for countless years.

The space here was once PoLi Galaxy; the fractured continent is not only intact but dotted with Empire forts, and countless armies are stationed within.

Because this is Kadia, once the Empire's most important fortress world.

Now, it serves as the forward base of the Chaos Grand Army, a frontline bastion resisting the Empire's assault on the Eye of Fear.

But in such a place especially dangerous for the Empire, near Kadia's Orbit, a completely transparent massive ship—unseen by the naked eye and even undetectable by scanners—was quietly floating in mid‑air.

Inside the ship, watching our warship, almost face‑close yet still unnoticed, they could only marvel at how useful the Titan Lord's latest stealth technology was, while unabashedly gazing at the former fortress below, now filled with countless profanities, under the protection of the Holy Ship.

Meanwhile, in Xisi's office at the very top of the cathedral, Xisi faced his subordinates on the dilemma of how to quickly draw out the Rebel Forces, and he was the most relaxed of all.

Looking at the shattered Kadia beneath his feet, Xisi turned his back to the crowd and stood upright:

"Return all the defected Panbian Juntuán that have pledged allegiance."

"Except have them inform the Rebel Forces that I can cleanse their corruption, and inform the Asitat of these Panbian Juntuán."

"If they bring back ten people, I will make them a squad leader."

"If they bring back a hundred, I will make them a company commander."

"If they bring back a thousand, I will directly appoint them as a Battalion Commander!"
