858: Sell for a good price
Lao Bai began to question his existence again, while Yang Dian started calculating the gains from this retreat.
'Consumed 30% of the matter and energy of the Thousand Star Battlefield, as well as 30% of the strength, rule comprehension, and so on, that the Heavenly Dao Spider had accumulated over countless years...'
Feeling the power within his body, which was dozens of times stronger than before, Yang Dian slowly exhaled.
'There is no lack of quality; as long as there is energy, it is entirely possible to use energy to forcefully push through rule comprehension.'
'So, energy is still needed, a large amount of energy.'
As for where the energy would come from?
Thinking of the coordinates of the planets captured when he was consuming light rays earlier, Yang Dian tapped his wristband with his right fingertips twice, then spoke to Lao Bai, who was still fully immersed in analyzing the rule power at the side:
"I think we can start the Great Expansion Plan."
Lao Bai raised an eyebrow, then temporarily set aside the rule information Yang Dian had copied and pasted to him:
"Why the sudden desire to start the Great Expansion Plan?"
"Not to mention that the general strength of the Martial Artists is not yet enough to support them in opening up a planet on their own, right?"
"And just regarding the number of planet coordinates we currently possess, it's not enough to support the launch of the Great Expansion Plan, is it?"
Yang Dian curled the corners of his lips:
"The past is the past, and now is now."
"I have mastered more ways to use the power of consumption. Just now, I used the power of consumption to consume light for a few minutes and parsed the information contained within the light."
Saying this, Yang Dian extended his index finger again:
"As a medium for transmitting information, light contains enough information."
"I didn't have that ability before and couldn't perfectly parse the information contained in the light."
"But it's different now."
"Everything is laid bare before my eyes."
Lao Bai twitched the corner of his mouth:
"Don't be so dramatic."
"Get to the point."
"I can now parse the information of all civilizations that haven't hidden their own information within ten thousand years through light, including but not limited to planet coordinates, civilization structure, and power levels."
"You have to know that most of these civilizations that don't hide their own information are relatively average in strength."
"We have enough strength to go to these planets, spread the fire to these civilizations, and liberate those ordinary intelligent beings who are suffering from oppression."
Lao Bai raised an eyebrow:
"You are the Commander of the Expeditionary Force; you are responsible for the expedition matters."
After pondering for a while, Yang Dian casually tapped his wristband twice.
Ya Zi jumped out of the wristband and saluted Yang Dian:
"Ya Zi, First-Class Sergeant Major of the Expeditionary Force, reporting to you."
Glancing at the yellow five-pointed star on Ya Zi's chest that he had highlighted and brightened, Yang Dian smiled and then gave instructions:
"Ya Zi, notify all Corps Commanders that the Expeditionary Force is initiating the Great Expedition Plan."
"Any Expeditionary Force soldier can apply to lead a team of auxiliary corps soldiers and Machina independently to carry out a great expedition to Alien Planets."
"The Expeditionary Force is responsible for providing war Machina, planet coordinates, and logistical support."
"All the soldiers need to do is to be responsible for spreading the faith to the depths of the Universe."
"In addition, for resources obtained during the expedition, soldiers can autonomously retain 1%, and the remaining 99% must be turned over to the national treasury. Depending on the amount of resources turned over, they can receive corresponding military merits."
"They should know the function of military merits themselves."
Speaking of this, Yang Dian paused for a moment and continued:
"Of course, if someone discovers a new planet on their own and develops it through their own strength, then all the resources on that planet belong to them."
Ya Zi, who was nodding, saw that Yang Dian had no other instructions, and saluted him again:
"The relevant policy document has been generated and will be issued after the soldiers finish their battles."
Yang Dian nodded and continued:
"This policy will first be piloted within the Expeditionary Force, and once conditions are met, it can be implemented nationwide."
"Understood, Commander." After saluting, Ya Zi asked again:
"Does the Commander have any other instructions?"
"If not, I will leave first. I have encountered a strong enemy on Planet Qian-3213 and need to concentrate all computing power to fight him."
Yang Dian raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and turned his head to look in the direction of Planet Qian-3213.
A flash of glazed light flickered in his eyes, and Yang Dian immediately didn't know what expression to show.
On Planet Qian-3213, millions of Ya Zis were biting swords, ganging up on a pitch-black three-legged crow that had just stepped into the fourth rank not long ago.
Seeing that Yang Dian had noticed his battle, Ya Zi immediately became arrogant:
"Commander, I didn't embarrass our Expeditionary Force, did I?"
"I can even fight a fourth-rank life form independently."
Yang Dian twitched the corner of his mouth upon hearing this.
He discovered that these newly born intelligent lives had some defects, more or less.
For example, the Jingwei Bird likes to show off its feathers, Di Ting likes to make bets with people, Ya Zi likes to fight, and the Iron-Eating Beast likes to shut down and sleep...
"Only when we can mass-produce third-rank limit and fourth-rank war Machina in our own arsenal without the support of Dr. Bai will it count as winning face for our Expeditionary Force."
Then Ya Zi left, looking somewhat dejected.
Even the offensive against the three-legged crow on Planet Qian-3213 weakened a bit.
A large portion of the computing power must have gone to do other things, such as monitoring the construction of new factories.
Yang Dian then shifted his gaze back to Lao Bai:
"On Tiannan Star, which is in the West Lake Grotto-Heaven, there is a node leading to the Return to Ruins. I have sent the coordinates to you."
"Besides alien races, there are also people inside the Return to Ruins. Try to win over a portion of the Human Race in the Return to Ruins, digitize them into players, raid that Return to Ruins area, and try to find the Legacy of the Immortal."
Lao Bai nodded:
"Understood, I will try to make contact with the Human Race in the Return to Ruins first."
"What about you? What are you planning to do next?"
"Take action against this current Return to Ruins node? Continue to raid the Destiny Realm, or go do the tasks in the Spirit Domain?"
"Or something else?"
Yang Dian flicked his finger:
"Since you've already accepted a task for me, of course, I'll go to the Moon-Watching Divine Dynasty in the Destiny Realm first. What else can I do?"
Speaking of this, Yang Dian looked at the Heavenly Dao Spider again:
"Let's leave this spider for now."
"Its body cannot leave the Return to Ruins node, or rather, it is more like it is sealing this Return to Ruins node."
"As for the Return to Ruins beneath it..."
"That Return to Ruins gives me a very terrifying feeling. It seems like something great and terrifying is hidden inside, so it's better for us not to make contact for the time being."
Speaking of this, Yang Dian's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something:
"If what The Female Emperor said is true, then there is a Legacy of the Immortal in the Return to Ruins behind every Return to Ruins node. I might be able to use it to make some interest exchanges."
Facing the curious gaze, Yang Dian continued:
"You know, I met quite a few people when I was doing the Spirit Domain tasks."
"We can absolutely sell the Return to Ruins node for a good price."
Lao Bai was a bit hesitant:
"This matter of the Return to Ruins node is also a secret in the Destiny Realm."
"Can others believe it?"
Yang Dian reached out and flicked his finger, condensing an illusory talisman out of thin air.
"There are always more solutions than difficulties. There are lie-detector runes in the Spirit Domain, which can fully prove that what I said is the truth."
"Although I am not sure whether what The Female Emperor said is true or false..."
