Chapter 2903: Three Good News!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the surface of Empyrean Terminus, the alarms swept over the entire planet like a burning heatwave.

Countless steel dragons woke up and rushed to every important city from the military base. Countless skyscrapers lowered their iron armor and covered the fragile glass windows with rumbling noises. The earth was tom apart, and countless air defense cannons rose up, locking every coordinate deep

inside the atmosphere and making sure that any enemy who broke into the atmosphere would be torn into pieces at the most vulnerable moment.

Not to mention that a lot of Immortal Cultivators had appeared in the streets, military bases, and even the imperial city, fully armed and fearless.

This was the Empyrean Terminus Sector, the Empyrean Terminus Planet, the imperial capital, and the thousand-year beating heart of the Imperium of True Human Beings!

Although the families of the four electors had risen and the imperial capital had declined over the past five hundred years, the heritage of the past thousand years was still there. Countless Immortal Cultivators still considered the place to be the last line of defense.

Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!

Countless colorful pillars of smoke rose vertically and pierced into the vacuum of the universe. Most of them were Immortal Cultivators who were wearing crystal suits and carrying small starships. Their carriers might not be able to perform long-distance space jumps, but they were more than enough to

shuttle through a galaxy. Even if their carriers were blown up ina fierce battle in the sea of stars, as long as their crystal suits were intact, they could still return to Empyrean Terminus or land on every planet and satellite nearby with the attraction force of the planets.

After all, the imperial army had established military bases on every solid planet of the Empyrean Terminus Sector. Wherever they landed, they would receive effective rest and supplies.

It was also the biggest advantage of the defense team in an internal battle.

Therefore, under the protection of the forest of swords and spears and billions of sparks, the citizens and the Immortal Cultivators of the capital city were still very confident, even though the enemy was coming at them unstoppably. They were ready to fight until the end and perish together with

Empyrean Terminus.

Moreover, with the crazy construction of the underground natives over the past few months, the level-four defense network of Empyrean Terminus had been mostly established, too. If the situation was truly out of control, and all the planets and star fortresses of the Empyrean Terminus Sector were

occupied, the Immortal Cultivators would still be able to retreat to the cities and underground and fight the enemy in every street, building, mine, and fortress brutally.

After all, their enemy was the Holy Accord Alliance, the terminator of the human civilization!

On the imperial city, flags were flying, The three-star emblem on the flags was like a bouncing flame that was about to burn the entire world.

Emperor Wu Yingling—Li Jialing—stood on the gate tower and looked down at the golden phalanx made of thousands of elite soldiers under the protection of the three-star flag of lightning.

The tens of thousands of elites were all the best experts selected from the millions of soldiers of the imperial guards. Li Jialing and Li Linghai had spared no expense and poured all the resources they collected from the four major electors’ families into them, thereby improving their Cultivation to a whole

new level.

Naturally, their loyalty to the ‘new empire’ and the emperor was unshakable, too.

Li Jialing himself was wearing a set of gold lion armor, too. The two shoulders of the armor were raised high, making him look like two lions that had opened their bloody mouths, making his young body look even more magnificent, like the incarnation of the blood-stained flag behind him.

Right now, the entire imperial capital knew that a great enemy was coming. The urgent alarms gradually died down. The spacious square was silent. The only thing that could be heard was the blowing wind and the fluttering flags.

“Creators of the new imperium, defenders of the civilization of mankind, and my most loyal warriors, I have three pieces of good news to share with you!

Li Jialing looked around and let the silence simmer for a long time. It was not until all the eyes of the imperial guards were focused on him and burning hot that he extended three fingers and said unhurriedly, “Firstly, three hours ago, the command center received the latest battle report from the east.

The rebel army under the command of General Lei Chenghu has just defeated the last coalition fleet of the remnants of the pseudo-Marquis in the Battle of Jade Cauldron and blown up more than 43,500 main warships. More than 150,000 of the enemy’s main warships have lost their mobility and defense

ability and become the captives of our army. The biggest resource supply base and weapon factory of the remnants of the pseudo-Marquis have been restored and bathed in the brilliance of the new imperium!

“The victory of the ‘Battle of Jade Cauldron’ means that the remnants of the pseudo-Marquis have completely lost the last bit of mobility to travel in the sea of stars. From now on, they can only curl up on the lone island-like planets and struggle for their last breath. They will no longer be able to cause the

slightest bit of interference to the brilliance of our new empire! In fact, when the news that our army has secured a great victory spreads, countless planets under the reign of the remnants of the pseudo-Marquis will be agitated and rebel. They will raise their flags and announce that ‘anyway’, they will

return to our embrace!

“Because of the thoroughness of the plan, the three soldiers, as well as the internal strife of the enemy, did not have the slightest bit of morale in the first place. It was a satisfying and devastating victory. General Lei Chenghu’s rebels barely suffered any losses in the ‘Battle of Jade Cauldron’. Also, with the

captive warships and the resources of the entire Jade Cauldron Sector, their capability has increased instead of decreased. Their morale has soared, too. In a few days, they will finish their rest and reinforce the capital city, killing the enemy in the iron defense line of the capital city!

It was indeed great news. Countless Immortal Cultivators were greatly shocked.

The greatest concern of the new empire was to fight on two fronts against the members of the Star Glory Federation and the remnants of the four electors.

Right now, one of the battle lines had secured a decisive victory. All they needed to do was to hold the line until Lei Chenghu returned gloriously under the command of the rebel army. Then, the hope of victory would blossom!

In an instant, the eyes of countless Immortal Cultivators lit up.

“Second.

Li Jialing said solemnly, “Reinforcements from the Star Glory Federation at the edge of the sea of stars, namely the territory of ‘Black Wind King’ Li Yao, are also being gathered. You may consider the federal reinforcements to be an upgraded version of the ‘Black Wind Fleet’, which is stronger and more

loyal!

“Because of the long distance and the enormous size of the reinforcements, they did not arrive in time. But please believe me, everybody, that the reinforcements will break out of the enemy’s vulnerable rear at the most critical moment!

After he said that, the golden phalanx buzzed again.

With so many smart Immortal Cultivators, it was possible that they had guessed the background of ‘Black Wind King Li Yao! and the ‘Upgraded Black Wind Fleet’. At the very least, they knew that the reinforcements were made of a lot of Cultivators.

However, it did not matter. The conflicts between Cultivators and Immortal Cultivators were ‘contradictions among human beings’ after all. The emotionless, tearless, mechanical people of the Sanctuary were the common enemy.

To put it bluntly, tuning the Immortal Cultivators into Cultivators might hurt them, and they might feel uncomfortable, but it was not enough to kill them.

However, it would be a fate worse than death if the Immortal Cultivators were turned into puppets without emotions, memories, and self-awareness.

Besides, the size of the two parties was obvious. As long as the urgent issue at hand was resolved and the new empire could gain a firm foothold or even control most of the resources in the center of the sea of stars, they would be invincible no matter what the game was.

Therefore, it was also a piece of great news. All the elites of the imperial guards were overjoyed.

“Thirdly, and also the best news, according to the data sent back by the scout crystal cameras deployed in the periphery of the Empyreal Terminus Sector, the main fleet of the Star Glory Federation is far larger in number and combat ability than we expected. The members of the Star Glory Federation

have gone all out this time. They are planning to perish together with us!

LiJialing extended his third finger and uttered the deafening ‘good news’. Before the elites of the imperial guards realized what was going on, he continued shouting, “Do you know why I call this ‘good news’? It’s simple. It’s because our enemy is at the end of his rope and has no other options except to

take a desperate gamble!

“Marshal Lei Chenghu was right about one year ago. The pressure that the Holy Alliance is under is a hundred times greater than that of the Star Ocean Imperium. The Holy Alliance has drained the last bit of flesh inside its body and is about to collapse because of its own weight. It cannot hold on any

longer.

“That’s why the Holy Alliance is so insane as to gather forces far beyond our imagination and launch a final counterattack, hoping to prolong their meaningless lives!

“The scale of the invasion fleet means that the people of the Star Glory Federation have abandoned the defense at the rear. Every planet of theirs has tured into a shaved monkey, shivering in the cold wind!

“Therefore, what happened next is very simple.

“If we win, as long as we secure the victory of the defense of the capital city and join hands with the reinforcements of the main fleet of the Star Glory Federation in the most sacred heart of the Thousand Year Imperium, we will be the final winner of the Thousand Year War! By then, every world and every

planet in the rear of the Star Glory Federation will no longer have an organized mobile force to stop us from creating greater glory! At that time, the citizens of the Star Glory Federation on every barren planet will be awakened, and they will be waiting for the arrival of the army of the imperium and the

hope of their survival like the rescuers! At that time, the territory of the entire Star Glory Federation and the remnants of the fake marquis will return to our embrace. Our contributions will far exceed those of the Black Star Emperor a thousand years ago and reach the level of the Star Ocean Imperium ten

thousand years ago. As for you, the most loyal warriors of the Star Glory Federation and the most determined defenders of the human civilization, your names will be carved on the brightest stars and brought to every corner of the universe by the brilliance of the stars. You will be praised and admired by

billions of people thousands of years later!
