Chapter 207: Chapter 206: Arriving at the Battle Zone!
Following some of the discussions, Yang Jun and the others also sensed the change in Mu Zhan.
He became more cautious, more deeply thoughtful, his questions more precise, and his suggestions increasingly accurate.
Although many aspects still carried the imprint of past ways of thinking, the change and recognition alone were enough to astonish Yang Jun and his companions.
It could only be said that he indeed deserved to be at the pinnacle of a civilization.
Without the Civilization Trial, without contact with other civilizations, perhaps he would never have broken free from the confines of his thoughts until death.
But now, he had done so.
The Civilization Trial was both a disaster and indeed a stage on which a civilization and individuals could truly shine.
Mu Zhan was not the only one; Yang Jun himself found this to be true as well.
And at this time,
a voice suddenly emerged at the command center.
“The Store Level has been raised to Level 25. There are large transport spaceships available, and after retrofitting, one can accommodate twelve million soldiers,” said Shen Hao’s voice. “I have already purchased five and placed them in orbit above the Great Yan Planet. We can depart with the full army.”
“Yes!” Yang Jun was the first to react, looking solemn.

“Mu Zhan acknowledges the command,” Mu Zhan also came back to his senses, standing up and kneeling on one knee towards the emptiness.
This was an acknowledgement of Shen Hao’s position as marshal, and it was also for all the subordinates to see, as well as the soldiers throughout the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.
In fact, Shen Hao had been paying attention to them.
After all, if Yang Jun really couldn’t keep the Great Yan Army in line, Shen Hao would still need to save the situation.
But the results were quite satisfying.
Especially with regard to Mu Zhan, the “Military God”.
In any civilization, those who are loyal to the civilization and the people are always recognized and respected.
However, Shen Hao did not say too much.
After sending the spaceships, he proceeded to inspect the products in the Level 25 Mall.
Perhaps it was because the Store Level represented a higher tier of civilization, but each upgrade had become significantly noticeable.
Take the transport spaceships, for example.
Even the basic white transport spaceship of this level had performance parameters that completely surpassed the Purple Epic Level 20 mother ship previously obtained.
The maximum travel speed could reach 4 percent of the speed of light, and more importantly, the acceleration efficiency had nearly doubled.
Shen Hao had Fiora calculate it, and using this kind of spaceship to transport troops from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, it would take only six hours to reach the Desert Tower Mother Planet.
To go to the nearer Louis’s Mother Planet, it would take only three and a half hours.
This time, this efficiency, was incredibly important!
Although it still could not match the efficiency of the Undead who could freely shuttle between different planetary Undead Worlds, it was close enough to keep up.
Even the efficiency of transporting the Desert Tower People would be improved several times over!
“Based on the current information, what is the probability of achieving final victory?” Shen Hao asked Fiora.
“Ninety-four point seven eight percent,” Fiora provided a high figure.
It did not exceed Shen Hao’s expectations.
His goal had always been not just to win but to win impressively, to minimize losses, and to prepare for the next Trial.
“Have them improve their efficiency further,” Shen Hao ordered again.
This was not the first time he had urged this. At this moment, time was life, was efficiency.
Clearly, Shen Hao’s commands were effective.
The topic in the command center shifted to the transportation process, and when the data of the spaceship was displayed before everyone in the command center, these Great Yan generals were utterly stunned.
Their understanding of interstellar distances was insufficient, but they had a clear understanding of the vast expanse of Great Yan territory.
To only need a mere minute to circle the entire Great Yan Planet with twelve million soldiers from outer space?
The military significance of this capability was enough to cause these men to break out in cold sweats.
If Human Civilization were the enemy, the Capital City would fall directly without even requiring the strongest Chosen One to take action, and the Empress would be captured in an instant!
After all, they would be unable to concentrate their forces to defend the Capital City in such a short period of time.
“Technology, huh?” Mu Zhan muttered to himself.
The Empress’s Store also had technology—it seemed to be a fundamental path that all civilizations possessed.
This alone was sufficient to illustrate its importance.
However, previously, the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty lacked communication with other civilizations and was unaware of this fact.
Therefore, after learning about it from Human Civilization and after witnessing the performance data of the spaceships, the value he placed on technology surged in his heart.
Not only did Human Civilization need their foundational knowledge on the Cultivation Path, but they also needed the technological base of Human Civilization!
At this moment, Mu Zhan even hoped that the Trial could last a bit longer.
They had so much to change, so much to learn.
However, in the face of the Civilization Trial, no civilization could afford the luxury of deliberate delay, not even Shen Hao. He knew from the beginning that any complacency or underestimation of the Civilization Trial was extremely dangerous.
Under his will, the Great Yan Army began to operate at high speed.
All the soldiers, carrying their equipment and rations, stepped onto the massive spaceships before their eyes.
For them, knowing they were about to head to a battlefield in another world was enough.
However, the generals were clearly not so composed.
Zhu Wu was one of them.
He was a third-ranked general of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, capable of commanding a million alone, a prominent Great General throughout the Immortal Dynasty, whose status was exalted and whose power was formidable after countless battles.
But at this moment, as he felt the spaceship taking off at an indescribable speed, the unease in his heart was unrelieved.
The main reason was everything he had witnessed in the command center the day before.
This war had too many unknowns.
He blinked, and suddenly, a frame was projected onto his eyes.
These were special invisible contact lenses connected to their personal terminals. Each general had one, ensuring they could keep in contact with the command center at all times.
Even now, they were still part of the command center.
In the channel named “13th Combat Zone,” there were not only his colleagues but also the allies of Human Civilization.
At this moment, they were seeing messages being sent by the allies of Human Civilization.
“Human 125th Army will arrive at the combat zone in one hour and twenty-four minutes.”
“Mongolian 357th Corps will arrive at the combat zone in one hour and thirty-three minutes.”
“Sky Spirit 147th Army…”
Apart from these messages, a shared location also showed countless spaceships rapidly approaching the planet that was encased in ice.
Clicking on the portraits of the commanders of these armies even allowed viewing of more detailed information.
It included the remaining troop strength and the primary armaments!
Zhu Wu had never experienced anything like this, but he knew all too well what it meant to be able to know the positions and strength of allies so clearly and timely on the battlefield!
Zhu Wu took a deep breath.
He, too, somewhat awkwardly posted the information about his own army.
“Great Yan 098 Corps will arrive at the combat zone in five hours and thirty-six minutes.”
This included the number of soldiers under his command, their primary abilities, and the main military equipment—all of which he wrote down.
He was not the first one; other generals of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty did the same in the channel.
As he viewed each message, Zhu Wu’s previously uneasy heart gradually settled.
He indeed was not quite adapted to this kind of warfare, yet the allies started to give him an extremely reliable feeling.
Even though he, too, was initially an active opponent of Human Civilization leading the war.
“Victory will belong to Her Majesty, belong to Great Yan, belong to the Allies.”
Zhu Wu closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged, adjusting his state.
The hours passed quickly, and he arrived soon.
The moment the command came through his personal terminal, Zhu Wu’s eyes snapped open.
“Orders received, form the Xuanwu Formation!”
“Yes!”
As the order was given, his million soldiers quickly formed a special military formation aboard the spaceship.
Powerful auras swirled around Zhu Wu.
Though not yet activated, at this moment, his aura and the entire formation were connected with his million soldiers.
This was one of the most powerful military techniques of Great Yan!
Zhu Wu had learned from the channel that the allies who arrived before him were being besieged by the Undead, the battle had started, and his orders were to head to one of the locations to provide support!
The transport spaceship had already activated its protective barrier, and Zhu Wu, leading his million-strong army, moved to the hatch.
As the hatch opened, a howling cold wind swept in.
The temperature plummeted.
But none of the soldiers reacted much; their armor was forged magic treasures, with strong features against the cold.
However, as they adjusted to the blizzard and saw the situation below, the originally stable army showed some unrest.
What they saw was thunder roaring, fire raging, and various terrifying powers madly unleashing across the land. In the air as well, countless flying objects shuttled back and forth; swathes of Undead danced in the sky, and in some places, clusters of Undead were visible, exuding a terrifying aura!
This was the battlefield!
Zhu Wu, after a brief moment of daze, quickly came to his senses.
Because his personal terminal had directly marked his defense area for him.
“Follow me, the General! Charge!”
Zhu Wu drew his sword, his mighty spiritual power covering the entire army in an instant. He then led them in an orderly leap down, each soldier with a Level 7 or higher, utilizing magic treasures to achieve short-term void flight. Not to mention that now the formation was complete, and the spiritual power and vitality of everyone were interconnected.
Even midair, they remained orderly and strictly obedient!
However, the moment they jumped from the spaceship, a terrifying aura accompanied by countless cold, wailing Undead suddenly surged near them.
“An ambush?” Zhu Wu’s expression changed.
