510: Expedition Sets Sail

“It's time to set out.”

After the song concluded, Qin Yang gently stroked the zither strings.

He had spent half a month learning music.

During this time, he hadn't left his bedchamber.

Three music teachers had taken turns imparting their knowledge of music to him.

Now, he could manipulate the Five Elements with the Fuxi Zither.

As long as he inverted the Five Elements' attributes,

he could make the Night Elves lose their power.

However, there was still one unresolved issue.

The Fuxi Zither consumed a significant amount of energy.

Even playing it within the Human Emperor Domain, Qin Yang could distinctly feel his Mental Energy draining.

If he were to cast spells across space with Majesty Suspended in the Sky, the consumption would multiply by ten thousand times.

Even if Qin Yang activated his Human Emperor Avatar, he might not be able to pluck the zither strings.

Of course, Elebella could provide Qin Yang with a hundredfold amplification.

After that, activating the Human Emperor Avatar would achieve a ten thousand-fold amplification.

But then another problem arose.

As a Transcendent Tier powerhouse, Qin Yang's existence already placed a burden on the Human World's structure.

Adding a ten thousand-fold amplification would surely crush the entire world.

Naturally, the Human Emperor Domain could withstand it.

However, the Human Emperor Domain was a world independent of the Myriad Realms.

Don't be fooled by Qin Yang's one-second entry and exit.

In reality, an unbridgeable distance existed between the two worlds.

If Qin Yang were to use Majesty Suspended in the Sky within the Human Emperor Domain, the consumption would become infinite.

“I need to find a place to cast spells,” Qin Yang thought to himself.

The current problem was the lack of a suitable casting location.

He needed a world that was not far from the Elf World and could withstand his amplified self after a ten thousand-fold increase.

Such a place did exist.

For example, Salaman's Domain.

This individual was the Elf World's main god.

Her Domain evolved from the Origin, and its structure was more robust compared to Mortal worlds.

Most importantly, her Domain shouldn't be very far from the Elf World.

Otherwise, her Divine Power wouldn't be able to influence the Elf World so significantly.

Just as she couldn't influence as many humans as Elebella.

“It seems it's time to pay Salaman a visit.”

“And while I'm at it, I can also Break through the Supreme Primordial Sacred Body.”

Qin Yang mused.

He understood it now.

Su Daji, Change, Elebella, Salaman, Amir.

Even Laila, who had lost her Divine Authority.

As long as they were gods above Mortals, they could, to some extent, help him achieve the Supreme Primordial Sacred Body.

Moreover, Qin Yang vaguely felt it.

His Supreme Primordial Sacred Body was almost complete.

“I must continue cultivating.”

“Fortunately, my body is strong.”

“Otherwise, who could work tirelessly like this?”

He shook his head and chuckled bitterly.

Just as he thought of this, the voice of an Imperial Guard reached his ears.

“Divine Emperor, the Empress Dowager has arrived and is waiting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Imperial City. She said she wishes to discuss the date of the army's departure with you.”

“Army's departure!”

Qin Yang's eyes lit up.

Lin Xiaoer had been busy training the Expeditionary Force fleet during this period.

Given her personality, she wouldn't come to him without being fully prepared.

“Humanity is truly about to sail towards the sea of stars.”

Qin Yang was a little excited.

Although he had known this day would come.

When he heard that the fleet could set sail,

a strong sense of accomplishment still surged within him.

He recalled when he first became a Professional.

Jiuzhou was still in a semi-divided state.

In just one year's time.

Jiuzhou had unified into Shenzhou.

Blue Star, with “Central Shenzhou” as its center, had also begun the process of world unity.

And now.

Humanity was even marching into other planes.

Qin Yang didn't like to boast about himself.

But truthfully speaking.

Seeing these achievements, no man wouldn't feel proud.

After all, if it weren't for him, the Supreme Emperor,

Si Zhenfeng would still be locked in internal strife with the Eight Great Families.

Planar travel?

No one would even dare to imagine it.

“I, too, am now qualified for the Fengshan sacrifice.”

“However, the Dao is long and arduous.”

“Even if I perform the Fengshan sacrifice, I will do it on Mount Buzhou.”

Thinking of these things, Qin Yang felt a surge of exhilaration.

He looked at the Fuxi Zither before him and murmured, “I will compose a song for humanity's first fleet.”

...Northern Snowy Territory.

Cold winds howled, and ice covered thousands of miles.

At this moment.

In front of the world's northernmost coast, sky carriers floated in mid-air.

They were like colossal steel beasts, hovering over the surging waves of the ocean.

001, 002, 003... 009.

The Shenzhou Empire's nine sky carrier battle groups were all assembled.

Ready to take a historic step into an unknown Domain.

Below the sky carrier battle groups, tens of thousands of Human Professionals stood in neat formation.

Due to their varied professions, their equipment was diverse.

But without exception, they all wore a red cloak.

That was the base color of the Shenzhou Dragon flag, and also the color of Shenzhou.

Drones filmed from high altitude.

On the frozen beach, an endless expanse of red stretched as far as the eye could see.

It formed a stark contrast with the deep blue seawater.

And this magnificent scene was also presented to the world through the internet.

“I can't believe this is real! We're actually going to invade another world!”

“Yes, half a year ago, countries were still fighting civil wars over land and resources, and now, we're going to fight aliens.”

“What's this called? This is called invincible under heaven, seeking enemies beyond heaven. The Divine Emperor is invincible on Blue Star, so he's going to find trouble in another world.”

“The Divine Emperor's journey is endless, humanity has entered a planar civilization!”

At this moment, the entire Blue Star was abuzz with excitement.

Two months ago, Shenzhou had announced the “North Heavenly Gate” plan.

It stated that the former Free Federation's sky carriers would be transformed into planar carriers capable of navigating the Annihilation Sea, thereby entering the Myriad Realms.

Initially, everyone thought this was a pipe dream, a publicity stunt.

After all, most Professionals couldn't even conquer the ocean.

How could they imagine humanity navigating the Annihilation Sea?

Yet these doubts could not slow the pioneers' footsteps.

Just now, Shenzhou announced a piece of news.

[The Human Expeditionary Force will set off today to advance into the Elf World.]

Immediately after, live footage was broadcast to the world.

Nine carrier battle groups assembled.

Ten thousand Grandmaster Professionals arrayed.

The Divine Emperor personally arrived in his Imperial Dragon Carriage.

No pre-announcement, no publicity, just straight to action.

This was Shenzhou's way of doing things.

First, tell you what I'm going to do.

Then, work diligently without any response in between.

Finally, suddenly announce, I've succeeded.

Clean, decisive, but it gave a sense of unreality.

Just like now.

Mechanical Professionals were still discussing yesterday how to inherit the former Free Federation's technology.

Today, they learned that the Free Federation's mechanical technology was already outdated.

Their sky carriers, upon reaching Shenzhou, directly became planar carriers.

One could only say that the Divine Emperor was truly too comprehensive.

Click, click, click!

Sounds like cracking ice echoed, accompanied by thunderous roars.

On the distant horizon, an arched portal opened.

That was the “North Heavenly Gate” opened by the Goddess of Nature, connecting the Human and Elf Worlds.
