Chapter 147: The Former Legion

Images like Heilu's, after discovering that news about themselves had spread and even after merely watching, kept appearing countless times in all sorts of gathering venues.

Then, under the stare—and even the touch—of comrades around them, whose bodies were riddled with corruption and faces full of pain, nothing was more convincing than a picture that actually materialized before their eyes.

Thus, when these corrupted rebels returned to their own corners, finding those comrades also struggling to get by, the once restless Eye of Fear......

Instantaneously boiled!

Then, in a frenzy, they rushed to the former legion that Xisi promised would cleanse their corrupted sites; the pirates trading back and forth also spread the news.

So, before an already terrible galaxy, another explosive news item was broadcast across the galaxy by the Star Language Court.

However, because Imperial communications rely on the "dream‑entrusting" high‑efficiency method, the prophetic image of this news turned out to be the ancient legion that once brought endless disaster to the Empire, gathering again in one place, displaying a grand military formation, and bowing reverently to the saint Xisi, who had only recently been heavily promoted by the National Church.

Moreover, the most terrifying scene was Xisi facing the ancient legion, leading a massive rebel force, while simultaneously raising various weapons and shouting "Terra".

To be honest, after receiving this prophetic image, not only the outside Empire but even Xisi himself, merely looking at the picture, could hardly claim to represent "justice".

Consequently, when Daiweiluo held the frantic transmission from Fanluosi and listened to its contents, Xisi could only, while enjoying a sunbath of the Eye of Fear, boredly turn his head.

Yes, yes, yes.

I intend to lead the rebels to Terra for a grand celebration.

Let them say whatever they want.

Xisi was buried in a long bench, turning his back on Daiweiluo's bored rant, and seeing Xisi's attitude, Daiweiluo held back for a while before he could only transmit Xisi's attitude back.

And then......

Xisi lost it!!!

Of course it's not a real loss of mind, but everyone outside is spreading it wildly.

This news elicited no reaction from the vast majority of ordinary lower‑mid ranks; due to slow communications, many even had to first ask who Xisi was.

However, among the higher‑ups who knew Xisi, this news was as terrifying as Terra being about to be devoured whole by two Tylian tentacles, or the Emperor rising from a toilet.

After that, unable to obtain more useful information, each faction frantically contacted their own deities in Subspace, hoping to get more useful intel from them.

Then, an even more terrifying piece of news spread.

The news was that there was no news; whether Empire or Chaos, no matter how massive the prayers or how sufficiently evil the sacrifices, none could obtain even a single piece of information from the deities.

All the deities seemed to have vanished overnight, or rather......

Regarding this, even the evil gods all chose to remain silent.

The Four Gods truly had no explanation; the Emperor found that explaining was worse than not explaining.

The other lesser evil gods, seeing the big ones stay silent, lacked the courage to speak either.

So when the news began to explode with even more intense reactions, the top tiers of each faction had to start confronting the rumor.

The first to learn of the news was the red pirate Xiulun, who was closest to the Eye of Fear.

The Great Vortex core is far beyond the Eye of Fear's "normal" universe.

Still bearing the battle traces left by Xisi's pursuit of Abadon here that day, mortal slaves frantically repaired the surrounding wreckage, while on the other side, beneath four massive deity statues.

Xiulun looked at the four God statues before him, which had received full sacrifices but no news, and could only mutter silently a few curses about the evil gods not being human, then turn back to his palace, taking the scant information in front of him and looking at it again.

The pirate lords below stared at each other, some first glancing at a nearby broken wall patched conspicuously, recalling the scene where Xisi fired a cannon‑like blast with a single shot, swallowing dryly, and finally one pirate lord mustered the courage to step forward.

Then, even Xiulun, choking and coughing violently, the pirate lord hesitated before speaking:

Sir, over at Lord Xisi's side......

Should we rename ourselves War General?

The pirate lords frantically nodded, fearing they were lagging, waiting for Xisi to truly, as the prophetic image foretold, use a charisma far surpassing Abadon to actually lead the once grand celebratory army out of the Eye of Fear.

If they try to call themselves War General again, there will be no chance.

Xiulun, facing his subordinates' "initiative" and "aggressiveness", coughed for a long while before suppressing his emotions, his face flushed as he silently stared at his men.

He blamed himself for not paying attention that day, which caused the somewhat capable pirate lords to be almost all slain by Xisi.

Otherwise, how could such a bunch of trash become his subordinates!

Xiulun, speechless, put down the report; with so little information, he could only impatiently wave his hand:

What's the panic?!

Send more people to keep a close watch on the Eye of Fear; any slightest movement inside, report to me immediately.

The pirate lords, hearing this, quickly nodded and turned to act; after assigning his subordinates, Xiulun sat back down, furrowing his brow in bafflement, burying his head as he endlessly pondered what Xisi was singing about this time.

After pondering for a while, he suddenly thought of another amusing thing, a grin spreading, and looked up toward another direction.

There, Longlin Star was locked in a fierce battle with the dark angels led by Shiwang, who had secured an entire indomitable fleet to reinforce him, leaving no time to attend to anything beyond the destruction of Longlin Star.

However, inside Longlin Star, Abadon suddenly stood upright, clutching a report, his face flushed red and eyes blazing:

Xisi is planning an expedition to Terra?

And taking the Eye of Fear's rebels with him?

Isn't this what a War General like me should be doing?!

If he does it, what am I then?!

Abadon fumed, and another message arrived; not only his face flushed, but his eyes instantly filled with blood vessels.

What does it mean that my war band is leaving the battlefield?

The reason being to follow the new War General???

Abadon was so provoked he nearly turned the color of a Terror champion, while the rival who received the news on the other side reacted far more calmly.

In some dead, silent universe, the reassembled Empire Fleet was fighting the undead, eyes bloodied.

Especially the massive Makurag's Radiance, charging through the undead fleet with an unmatched, formidable presence.

Yet this fierce battlefield failed to attract the attention of the Bridge's high command.

Because everyone gathered in one place, staring in amazement at the urgent message sent by Terra's high lord.

Xisi lost it?!

Don't even mention Judge Ge Lei Fa Ke Si; even the living saint Sheng Sailei Si Ting, after failing to obtain the Divine Emperor's prophecy, was shocked in his expression and, unusually, his eyes were a bit frantic.

Instead, Kiriman, who was seated at the top, after staring at the report delivered by the High Lord for a while, stretched out his hand and, without even looking, tore it to pieces.

Then, amid the surrounding people's astonishment, Kiriman wore an unhappy expression:

"Send a letter to Tu La Zhen, and give each High Lord two Bangbang punches!"

"Remember, it's Bangbang! It must hit loudly!"

Kiriman's demeanor suppressed his subordinates' bewilderment, and then everyone looked at Kiriman, not knowing how Kiriman regarded the matter.

Facing his core team, Kiriman did not hide anything; he simply stood up, walked to the porthole, and silently gazed toward the Eye of Fear.

At the same time, recalling the prophecy where Xisi led Da Bai Shou's legion, raising his arms and shouting Terra, he felt helpless yet it finally brought a hint of levity.

Kiriman's voice echoed throughout the room:

"Xisi, this is to go to the Eye of Fear and bring out the Empire's former legion."

"And then…"

"Rush to aid Terra!"
