602: Goal: To take resources from all races to support oneself

“My thoughts are not far off from yours, Old Lin, but they are closer to your final idea.”

After affirming Lin Po Jun’s statement, Yang Dian continued, “Take resources from all races to nourish ourselves.”

“Let all races willingly dedicate the resources of their worlds to strengthen our Huaxia.”

Lin Po Jun immediately showed an intrigued expression upon hearing this:

“Tell me how you’re thinking.”

Yang Dian began to use the Lizardmen as an example:

“Without a doubt, the Lizardmen, especially the current Lizardmen, are absolutely loyal to us.”

“So we can develop the Lizardmen into the first-tier subordinate race.”

“Where there is loyalty, there is naturally disloyalty.”

“For races with ambitions that we might encounter in the future, we can let the Lizardmen suppress them on our behalf. The Lizardmen play the bad cop, and we play the good cop…”

Listening to the ideas that popped out of Yang Dian’s mouth one by one, Lin Po Jun sometimes nodded, sometimes shook his head, and then interjected with insights that made Yang Dian feel, ‘People truly do get sharper with age.’

It wasn’t until the spatial node at the bottom of the sinkhole, after continuously expanding and contracting, finally settled into complete calm, and wave after wave of seemingly endless Spiritual Qi tides receded, that the two stopped their discussion.

“Good kid.” Lin Po Jun patted Yang Dian’s shoulder:

“You’re quite ruthless.”

Yang Dian gave an honest smile:

“Still not as good as you, Old Man.”

“You’ve eaten more salt than I’ve eaten rice.”

After he spoke, the two exchanged a smile, then simultaneously looked towards the spatial node that had transformed into a memorial archway, with the three characters [South Heaven Gate] inscribed on it.

“South Heaven Gate, South Heaven Gate.”

“If I remember correctly, the gatehouse in Wuhou District, Chengdu, that leads to Wuhou Grotto-heaven is also called South Heaven Gate, isn’t it?”

Yang Dian nodded slightly:

“It is called South Heaven Gate.”

“The first time I saw the South Heaven Gate, I was startled, thinking that myths had become reality.”

As he spoke, their bodies descended to the front of the South Heaven Gate, and then Yang Dian took out two drones from his storage space.

Without Yang Dian needing to remind them, Zero and Ya Zi, each controlling one drone, flew into the South Heaven Gate.

Then, their voices simultaneously sounded on their wristbands.

“Commander, the unknown magnetic field interference inside the spatial node has disappeared, allowing technological creations to pass through.”

Yang Dian, having received the answer, nodded slightly:

“Notify the factories in all regions of Strange Star to resume normal operations, but the goal has shifted from manufacturing war machines to stockpiling war materials.”

“Additionally, I will set up a Formation inside and outside the South Heaven Gate later to ensure that the existing oddities on Strange Star do not enter Earth through the South Heaven Gate.”

“After setting up the Formation, I will leave enough passes. Only by using a pass can one travel between Earth and Strange Star.”

“You two remember to send this information to the others.”

After Yang Dian finished speaking, Ya Zi and Zero responded in unison, and Lin Po Jun on the side then spoke:

“There are oddities on Strange Star, and if they were to reach Earth, they would indeed cause a fair bit of trouble.”

“It’s very good that you, with such powerful strength, can still consider these small details.”

Yang Dian smiled:

“It’s just habit.”

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Po Jun again, making an inviting gesture towards the South Heaven Gate:

“Old General, would you like to enter Strange Star and guide the work of our Expeditionary Force?”

Lin Po Jun waved his hand:

“Guide what? You’ve done very well, and the Expeditionary Force has also done very well.”

“If it were me, I probably couldn’t achieve such results.”

“I’m not so arrogant as to guide you.”

As he spoke, he closed his faceplate again and flew out of the sinkhole:

“I’m leaving.”

“If you have time, you can come chat with this old man again about subordinate races.”

Watching Lin Po Jun depart, Yang Dian’s gaze fell upon the second South Heaven Gate before him.

At this moment, Ya Zi’s voice sounded again:

“Commander, the Expeditionary Force has assembled. Please give your instructions.”

“Instructions?”

Muttering to himself, Yang Dian lifted his foot and walked towards the South Heaven Gate.

“Then let’s go take a look…”
