718: The war of the expeditionary force...

In the oppressive silence, Uncle Lei was the first to speak:

"Let's all discuss this: how should we deal with the Dimensional Battlefield that the Space Research Institute discovered, which is suspected to be multiple planets overlapping?"

"We are the Expeditionary Force, the strongest army in Huaxia."

"We can't just wait for the Think Tank to issue instructions, or let the Army Commander flatten the Advanced combat forces of Alien Planets while we just follow behind him to pick up scraps, can we?"

Under the supply of abundant resources, Li Gui, the First Legion Commander, who had already stepped into Martial Dao Level 6 and reached the Late Stage of Transcendent power, scratched the back of his head:

"Oh, Old Lei~"

"Although the Space Research Institute discovered the Dimensional Battlefield, without the Army Commander leading the way, we can't get there."

"The country hasn't developed a space teleportation device yet, so we can't just drive Dr. Bai's star destroyer over there, can we?"

"According to the Space Research Institute's calculations, the Dimensional Battlefield is over billions of light-years from Earth, far beyond."

"Without the Army Commander's Dimension Butterfly opening the door, we'd die of exhaustion before we could reach it."

Wu Quan, the Second Legion Commander, who had also entered Martial Dao Level 6, nodded, agreeing with Li Gui:

"The Space Research Institute has only pinpointed the general location of the Dimensional Battlefield; they haven't opened a passage to it, nor have they obtained detailed information about what's inside. Whatever we think now is just wishful thinking, and I'm even more afraid that our imagination is too perfect, and reality will be too cruel."

Uncle Lei opened his mouth, then finally sighed:

"Alas~"

"Actually, I know that too."

"It's just that the pressure is too great, and I wanted to lighten the mood."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll suffocate ourselves before the Army Commander even arrives."

No sooner had Uncle Lei finished speaking than a soft chuckle echoed in the conference room:

"Uncle Lei, why are you in such a hurry? If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. If anyone should be in a hurry, it's me."

As Yang Dian's voice rang out, Uncle Lei and the others suddenly stood up:

"Army Commander!"

"Army Commander!"

"Army Commander..."

Yang Dian, who had arrived at the head seat, waved his hand:

"Hey, you are all Seniors. There's no one else in the conference room, so privately, just call me Young Yang like usual."

Yang Dian had long passed the stage where he needed others to address him by his title to show how distinguished he was.

Compared to being respected and revered, he preferred to chat and joke around with friends and elders in private, talking about anything and everything.

Even meetings, he wanted them to unfold in a relatively relaxed atmosphere.

If a person lives their whole life without a few people they can communicate with on equal terms, it would be too lonely.

Lost in thought, Yang Dian glared at Chen Ci, whose eyes were sparkling.

She was an exception.

Her age was similar to his; he would be at a disadvantage if she called him Young Yang.

Seeing that Yang Dian was still the same as before, the people in the conference room exchanged glances and revealed a knowing smile.

Then Li Gui was the first to speak:

"Young Yang, what's your current power level? Last time I saw you punch a planet into oblivion, was that real or fake?"

"Although the video was sent back from Dr. Bai, I still can't quite believe it."

Looking at Li Gui's wide-eyed expression, Yang Dian couldn't help but curl his lips:

"Just blowing up a small dead star, it's no big deal."

"Good heavens!" Li Gui started blabbering in a loud voice:

"Blowing up a planet is no big deal?"

"What do you consider a big deal then?"

"Flipping the sun over?"

Yang Dian glanced at Li Gui, suddenly feeling a bit annoyed.

This rough old man really didn't stand on ceremony with him.

"Flipping the sun over is another matter; I'm still a bit far from that Realm."

Li Gui's already round eyes widened even further.

What did Yang Dian mean by that?

'He's really moving towards that Realm?'

In his astonishment, he heard Yang Dian add:

"The Dimensional Battlefield discovered by the Space Research Institute is also another matter."

"We don't have enough power to flatten that Dimensional Battlefield yet; once we get involved, accidents are likely to happen."

How terrifying was that Dimensional Battlefield?

Let's put it this way.

The Subtle God of Ghost God Star possessed star-destroying power. Ghost God Star had nine Subtle Gods, plus one Subtle God at Peak, who had already achieved a Breakthrough into the Formless Realm, even a top-tier Ghost God whose half-red skirt and slender jade finger materialized from nothingness.

Despite all that, it still ended up with the Ghost dying and its remains plunging into the Dimensional Rift.

Yang Dian, who had interrogated the Heavenly Dao Ghost again these past few days and extracted a lot of useful information from its mouth, felt that even if the Stellar Ancestor were to mobilize, it might not be able to take down that Dimensional Battlefield.

As thoughts churned in his mind, Yang Dian continued:

"I will explore the specific situation of the Dimensional Battlefield."

After all, Earth was about to enter the Universe's extremely cold region, and he had to quickly accumulate resources to improve his strength. That Dimensional Battlefield was equivalent to thousands, or even tens of thousands, of Star Cores; how could he not go and make a fortune?

'Perhaps I can lure the Minor Star God over, then use it to attract the Great Star God, and then have the Stellar Ancestor rush to the battlefield...'

Thinking this, Yang Dian continued:

"But if I go to the Dimensional Battlefield, Earth, and even the Alien Planet wars, will be your responsibility."

Yang Dian raised his hand and pointed, and a light screen appeared in the conference room.

On the left side of the light screen was Earth, surrounded by the dark deep space of the Universe. In the deep space, a star glowed green.

As the dark deep space extended to the right, there was a solitary green star, and a cluster of stars gathered together.

Among that cluster of stars, only one was blue; all the others glowed red.

"This one," Yang Dian said, pointing to the green planet closest to Earth:

"Tiannan Star."

"It is expected to complete a dimensional overlap with Earth within three months, becoming Earth's Blessed Land."

"This one," Yang Dian said, pointing to the green planet further from Earth:

"Emerald Dragon Star."

"A planet with Qi Revival for over ten thousand years, with good Spiritual Qi. It's one of our fallback options."

"I have already dealt with the highest combat power on Emerald Dragon Star. Ya Zi is leading the star destroyers and Machina to clear out the remaining resistance. It is expected to complete unification in half a year."

"Before the award ceremony, you will come with me to Emerald Dragon Star. There are also small gifts I've prepared for you and the Expeditionary Force warriors on Dragon Star."

After piquing everyone's curiosity, Yang Dian didn't reveal what the small gifts were. Instead, he pointed to the distant blue planet and said:

"This one, Niu Ru Ren Planet."

"Niu Ru Ren are honest, good Niu Ru Ren."

"After multiple discussions, we cannot stand by and watch kind-hearted people being bullied by other civilizations, making the Universe cold and uncaring."

"So, we must provide them with humanitarian aid."

"The strength of the civilization invading Niu Ru Ren Planet is unknown, but it likely won't possess star-destroying combat power or technology."

"Therefore, I will not intervene in this battle. How it's fought and what the outcome is, rests entirely on you."

After scanning the crowd, Yang Dian tapped the video again.

In the distance, a patch of ice-blue region appeared, rapidly approaching Earth.

"Soon, Earth will overlap with the Universe's extremely cold region."

"Coupled with Earth's unique nature, it might even trigger one or two Dimensional Wars before overlapping with the extremely cold region."

"Therefore, the battle against the civilization invading Niu Ru Ren will be a test of the Expeditionary Force's combat power."

"Protect Niu Ru Ren Planet as if it were Earth itself."

"This battle is a rehearsal for the potential indigenous crises Earth might face in the future."

"Finally!"

"This battle will also be broadcast live across the entire network via quantum communication devices."

"Do not tarnish the prestige of our Expeditionary Force."

Uncle Lei and the others suddenly stood up, exchanged glances, and saluted Yang Dian simultaneously:

"Mission accomplished!"
