Chapter 706: Chapter 14: The Third Meeting with the Chaotic Realm_3
The Prophet said, “Yes, because the cross-realm passage opened prematurely, at most, warriors from the Eighth Realm of the Star Galaxy can pass through…”
Immediately, a councilman said, “Only the Eighth Realm? Then we can handle them, can’t we? The Tianhe Federation’s Galaxy-class Battleships are not to be taken lightly, even if they’re not as powerful as a true Galaxy-class cultivator. But with advanced preparation, we can prevent even one from the Chaotic Realm’s Eighth Realm from coming across.”
Technological weapons, though less flexible than cultivators.
But with proper preparation, technological weapons can be incredibly effective.
The councilman’s words relaxed the atmosphere in the council chamber instantly.
“There’s still hope…”
“Just the Eighth Realm, they can’t possibly defeat us.”
Public opinion shifted in an instant.
Some councilmen even began discussing the cross-realm passage, thinking that if they could figure out how to open it, they might be able to colonize new Life Planets, which could yield immense benefits.
Seeing this, the Prophet tried to warn them, “It’s not as simple as it seems. We need to prepare and even make contact with the Source Star to find a way to unite.”
He didn’t believe things would be so easy and go smoothly.
After all, it was a colossus that had conquered three worlds or more.
But as soon as he spoke, a councilman immediately retorted, “Are you saying that the passage only allows the Eighth Realm is false?”
“Of course not…” The Prophet answered subconsciously.
“Then that settles it. You are one of the high-ranking officials; you should know that the Eighth Realm poses no threat to us. We’re not even talking about the Eighth Realm. Even if it’s the so-called Ninth Realm of the Chaotic Realm, as long as we’re prepared, we might be able to kill them and invade in reverse!”
These words won the support of many councilmen.
“Yes, prepared Galaxy Battleships are a completely different concept than unprepared ones. We might actually be able to launch a counterattack, haha!”
The Prophet wanted to say more; he knew it wouldn’t be so simple.
But he found no reason to argue.
He knew the strength of Galaxy Battleships, but he wasn’t clear about the power of the Ninth Realm.
Even if he spoke out, he would only be considered an alarmist.
“…”
In the end, the Prophet sighed and chose to leave.
“We must find a solution… otherwise it’s clear to everyone that the Tianhe Federation will suffer a major setback…”
They hadn’t even faced the enemy yet, but they already believed they would surely win, even thinking they could counter-invade for huge gains.
This wasn’t confidence; it was arrogance, and it wouldn’t end well.
“Maybe I can start with the Lifeless True Saint…”
After leaving, the Prophet returned to his residence to think of a solution, but it wasn’t long before the Councilman sought him out.
“Councilman, you’ve come to me for what purpose? The Federation must have already made its decision. Even if I speak of danger, I suppose I can’t change anything.”
The Federation wasn’t a dictatorship, and it wasn’t so easy to change the decisions of the council.
“Prophet, I can’t change the council’s decision, but I’ve come to ask if you need any help?”
The Councilman was clear in his intent; even as a Councilman, he couldn’t sway the decision of the majority, but he held the same view as the Prophet, thinking the Federation was likely to fail.
Therefore, he decided to help the Prophet, or rather, he agreed with the Prophet’s ideas.
The Prophet took a deep breath; the Councilman’s family was very powerful, and with his help, things would go much smoother.
“Councilman, I need to find a way to make contact with the Source Star…”
Clearly, the Prophet wanted to unite with the Source Star for protection.
In fact, it was the council’s second option.
“Good, Prophet, I’ll help you.”
The conversation between the two was known to no one.
The Tianhe Federation seemed to be operating in its predetermined direction.
There were even people claiming that a resource-rich world lay behind the gate to another realm, and that victory would propel the Federation to new heights.
In this atmosphere, a year quickly passed.
On the cross-realm passage, a chain had broken, the portal opened the width of a finger.
The Federation’s top brass weren’t panicked—quite the opposite, they were excited.
They couldn’t wait to launch a counter-invasion.
At the same time, a Dao Lord of the Chaotic Realm noticed the change in the portal.
Throughout the year, he had been perfecting his methods.
“Ever since the incident with the Source Star, I’ve been thinking of ways, and now this method is even closer to fruition… This time, I’ll use a world as my testing ground!”
[You’re going to take action personally?]
“Yes, the Source Star develops quickly, but some foundations cannot be built swiftly. Gaining several worlds in a short time surely means Wang Sheng has taken action himself, and what can’t I do? Profit is the most important.”
The Dao Lord was very candid; he intended to take matters into his own hands and use the power of the Ninth Realm to crush everything and speed up the process.
[Since you’ve decided, I will help you.]
“Of course, I can’t do without your help. Once the plan succeeds, I might also be able to break free from the world’s bindings, which will be much easier.”
Saying this, the Dao Lord gathered a bit of power and then sent it into the rift.
“Go on, grow the believers, and prepare for my arrival…”
Soon, this extremely covert power successfully entered the Tianhe Federation.
The hidden presence of the Ninth Realm went undetected.
The Dao Lord had begun his plan.
Meanwhile, the Prophet’s sense of crisis intensified.
During that year, he had been trying to make contact with the Source Star, with the Lifeless True Saint.
He believed that since he could receive information about the Lifeless True Saint from the Void, there must be a way to make contact.
