Chapter 206: Chapter 205: Take a Good Look at Human Civilization
In the eyes of the Analysis Department, the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty was essentially a feudal dynasty with extraordinary power, whose ideologies had yet to open up, let alone its people’s wisdom.
Before the Civilization Trial began, this civilization had remained unchanged for thousands of years.
Unless one day they broadened their horizons and sparked new thoughts, this entire civilization would merely continue to cycle through another thousand, ten thousand years.
Therefore, facing the questions and concerns of these people at this moment, Yang Jun was not annoyed.
This was all within expectations.
“It seems you haven’t truly grasped the concept of different civilizations,”
Yang Jun spoke again, his voice loud, easily suppressing everyone else’s.
He did not look at others but stared at Mu Zhan in front of him, continuing to speak:
“Our histories, cultures, and perceptions are all different. This difference is not like the disparities within your civilization among various species, but is far greater. Thus, disagreement is inevitable. Your current opposition was already expected by your empress, and conclusions had long been made.”
“…” Mu Zhan was silent.
He recalled the scene when the empress had summoned him before the envoy’s arrival.
“The current crisis cannot be handled by ourselves alone,” the empress had said, her expression somber. “These undead come from other civilizations, but we know too little about them. How many people do they have, what is their strength, how many have died? We practically know nothing, so an alliance is necessary. However, I am worried that the alliance might face severe disagreements and even conflicts, after all, there are too many differences between civilizations.”

Wasn’t the scene before him exactly what the empress had feared?
The alliance had not even officially started, yet disputes had already arisen over the fundamental issue of command.
It was because she had anticipated this that the empress had preemptively thrown out the notion of “primary and secondary” at the banquet.
Mu Zhan slowly exhaled.
In fact, he had heard some voices, some dissatisfaction with the empress, especially among the military. Many believed that it was disgraceful for Great Yan to allow another civilization to lead based merely on the envoy’s words.
After all, the empress did not ascend to her throne through military achievements but through strength, public support, and her backers.
But Mu Zhan knew this was extremely dangerous.
The savagery of the Civilization Trial was far beyond his expectations; this great catastrophe could not tolerate any internal strife.
For Great Yan, he had to stand firmly by the empress’s side.
He closed his eyes briefly, and when he reopened them, Mu Zhan had made his decision, even resolutely so.
Even though he was also uneasy about the leading capabilities of the strongest Chosen One and could not understand the military system of human civilization, now he had only one choice left.
“From the moment I joined the military to become a Great Yan Soldier, I have never defied an imperial order,” he declared, scanning the room with a sharp gaze. “Today will not be an exception. Should there be any objections, they must be raised in the imperial court!”
These words, which initially faced some unrest among the many generals, now revealed incredulous expressions.
But facing this legendary Military God, everyone bowed their heads.
Such was his authority.
Seeing this, Yang Jun also breathed a sigh of relief.
The Analysis Department certainly would not miss analyzing this “Military God,” whose personality traits were very clear and straightforward—in this situation, he would absolutely not contradict the empress.
It could be said that such a commanding figure, if not already debilitated and near death at the beginning of the Civilization Trial, would have been pushed to the throne by others behind him even if he did not wish it so.
It can only be said that in the Civilization Trial, every civilization’s path cannot avoid coincidences; human civilization is no exception.
The emergence of the president was a coincidence, yet it had forcefully taken human civilization down a completely different path.
Collecting his thoughts,
Yang Jun observed the generals around him who might have obeyed in action but were surely not convinced in their hearts, and then he declared solemnly, “In that case, I announce the first rule of command—within their own channels, everyone may speak freely within their jurisdiction.”
Suddenly, everyone turned their gazes sharply towards him.
The astonishment in their eyes was beyond words.
Speak freely?
Having already secured the command, and with Marshal Mu Zhan’s recognition, they had to obey unless they wished to defy military orders.
In such circumstances, he still allowed them to advise freely?
Was he not afraid of chaos in the military camp?
Even Mu Zhan was staring intently at this moment.
He was becoming increasingly puzzled by what the other side intended in this battle.
“Let’s now proceed with the distribution of duties,” Yang Jun said, not planning to explain much further.
More words would not be clearer than actual performance.
The current military system, summarized by countless individuals from the Analysis Department according to the characteristics of war, naturally had its superior institutional advantages, believing it enough to shock these feudal era generals in actual performance.
After all, when facing a distinctly different style of warfare, the greatest feature of this system was its flexibility and variability.
The powers and systems were quickly allocated.
Soon, five chairs were brought over.
Yang Jun, Mu Zhan, Jokah from the Senya Clan, a Mongolian Clan general named Ji Tian, and a Sage named Ashar from the Sky Spirit Civilization.
These five people were the commanders in the headquarters, second only to Shen Hao.
“The President has ordered us to head to the Desert Tower Mother Planet to escort the migration of the Desert Tower People,” Yang Jun took the lead in delivering Shen Hao’s orders, waved his hand, and a planet appeared in front of them.
The surface area of the Desert Tower Mother Planet was approximately 1.7 times that of the Human Mother Planet, much smaller compared to the three largest planets—Sky Spirit Planet, Great Yan Planet, and Wing Sky Planet.
“Currently, there are still 13.5 billion people left on the Mother Planet, of which 3.2 billion have already been transferred to the Sky Spirit Planet,” Yang Jun continued to share some crucial information, while distributing access to detailed intelligence according to the commanders’ levels, “The number of Undead is not particularly high, with a regular deployment of around 300 million, scattered in various locations for guerilla warfare, now causing the deaths of over 300 million people each day…”
The Undead possessed considerable intelligence; these days, the Desert Tower People and Louis People alone had suffered over three billion deaths.
This was because they were restrained by Shen Hao.
Without Shen Hao, with the Undead rampaging and slaughtering unbridled, there would be deaths of over ten billion in a day, just like before!
Yet these billions of newly spawned Undead had not appeared on the battlefield.
Clearly, they were all hiding.
The likely hiding places were the Wing Sky Mother Planet, and the Mother Planets of the Mongolian planet as well.
The concentration of yin energy in the Undead World of the Wing Sky Mother Planet was only one-third that of the Human Civilization, and the growth rate of the Undead wasn’t considered fast, but the sheer quantity was overwhelming.
According to previous findings, when a sufficient number of Undead gathered together, the concentration of yin energy would also accumulate, accelerating the enhancement of the Undead’s strength.
Moreover, the Wing Sky Mother Planet was simply too vast.
There wasn’t even a concept of surface area to speak of; not to mention billions, even tens of billions dispersed across it would seem extremely sparse.
Shen Hao had taken time to visit recently and, after searching for a long time, managed to kill only several million Undead.
Clearly, to resolve these Undead, it was necessary to have a sufficient number of legions!
Right now, even a combined force of 2.6 billion legions was considered small.
These were all elite, but after resolving that batch of powerful Undead, to quickly round up the newly spawned ones, at least tens of billions of legions would be needed!
All sorts of intelligence information were gathered onto a small terminal in the hands of many generals, and from the beginning of their review, their expressions were constantly in shock.
It was too vast, too complicated!
Whether it was the current situation of the Desert Tower Civilization, the conditions of the Wing Sky Mother Planet, or the various investigations, analyses, speculations, and even recommendations inserted by Human Civilization, it all contained too many things far beyond their understanding that they couldn’t comprehend for the time being.
Mu Zhan observed the reactions of these people, his expression growing increasingly grave.
“Commander Yang is right,” he finally spoke, “Such a war is indeed very unfamiliar to us; past experiences are utterly useless.”
If this had been said before, Mu Zhan’s statement would have caused a huge stir in the military tent.
Many who had mythologized the ‘Military God,’ even blindly worshipping him, simply could not accept Mu Zhan seemingly belittling himself.
But now, these generals merely turned pale and dared not make a sound.
Clearly, their self-confidence had been impacted.
“There certainly are differences, but to say utterly useless, that’s not quite the case,” Yang Jun spoke up at this moment, “At least once on the battlefield, what needs to be done remains the same, that is to annihilate the enemy!”
Exactly!
Many generals started to regain their composure at this time.
They thought of the powers they were assigned.
It was not about commanding from an overall perspective, but about eliminating Undead on the battlefield!
With this thought, things seemed much simpler.
To receive orders, go to the battlefield, and then annihilate all the Undead, not needing to worry about anything else!
“Each to their own duty, each to their strength,” Mu Zhan also sighed internally, “Such a simple statement, yet executed to such an extreme.”
He was beginning to understand this system now.
The principles were actually the same.
But the manner of execution was radically different.
It must be said, Mu Zhan was somewhat shaken inside.
Now looking at Yang Jun, his mindset had quietly changed.
Human Civilization was indeed stronger than theirs, this strength was not only manifested in power but also in perception, perhaps, their Great Yan Civilization must break free from the past glory to take a good look at other civilizations, especially a powerful civilization like Human Civilization!
