Expedition Against the Zerg
Chapter 1506 Expedition Against the Zerg
After Xiao Zier, Dong Xue, and Liu Fuba successfully advanced to the Mahayana stage, the number of Mahayana cultivators in the Liu family has increased to nine.
In this way, the Liu family and the Immortal Dynasty of the Human Race were further consolidated and enhanced within the Human Race, becoming an unshakeable core.
To celebrate the three's advancement to the Mahayana stage, Liu Changxu specially organized a grand celebration. After the news spread, all the top cultivation forces of the human race responded, including the Kunlun Holy Land and the Tianchi Holy Land, all of which sent heavyweight representatives to offer their congratulations, demonstrating the importance they attached to the Liu family.
Among them, Heavenly Pool Saint Emperor Jin Haonan and Flying Snow Saint Emperor Su Yuxue personally graced the occasion, elevating the celebration to a new level. During the celebration, guests gathered amidst celestial music, and representatives from various factions offered their congratulations to Liu Changxu and the three newly promoted Mahayana cultivators, their words filled with goodwill.
Taking advantage of the celebration, Liu Changxu held talks with representatives of the top powers of various races, focusing on the security threats currently facing the human race. During the meeting, the atmosphere gradually became tense as the discussions turned to border disturbances and hidden crises.
To Liu Changxu's surprise, Tianchi Holy Emperor Jin Haonan and Feixue Holy Emperor Su Yuxue took the initiative to propose that they unite all forces to completely eradicate the insectoid race from outside the country.
It turns out that in recent years, the Zerg, which had been lying dormant outside the human territory, have become active again. They not only frequently harass the borders, but have also broken through the defenses and invaded human territory several times. Wherever they go, life is devastated and resources are plundered. They have posed a serious threat to the outer defenses of the two holy lands of Kunlun and Tianchi.
"Your Majesty, the Zerg are multiplying rapidly and are ferocious. If they are not eradicated soon, they will surely become a great disaster in the future."
Jin Haonan said in a deep voice:
"Yes! Your Majesty, we beseech the Holy Court to dispatch a large army to annihilate the insectoid race on Taibai Star!"
Su Yuxue also spoke up and requested:
Upon hearing this, Liu Changxu frowned slightly. He knew all too well how terrifying the Zerg were. In that catastrophe years ago, the Zerg had brought near annihilation to humanity. Now that the Zerg infestation had resurfaced, the slightest lapse in vigilance could lead to a repeat of the same mistake. He certainly could not afford to be careless.
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly began to speak:
"This matter concerns the safety of the entire human race and cannot be accomplished by the efforts of a single party. However, the Holy Court's power has been severely weakened, and it is difficult for it to support such a great war on its own. We must gather all the power of the human race to have a greater chance of completely eliminating the threat of the Zerg."
This was not an excuse. In fact, Liu Changxu had long intended to solve the insect infestation on Taibai Star, but for many years, the human race had been unable to reach a consensus.
After driving the Zerg out of human territory, the top cultivation forces shifted their focus to rebuilding their homes and gradually lost the motivation to go deep into the borders to exterminate the Zerg.
Even the Holy Court, which was established to resist the Zerg, has gradually weakened due to the loss of continuous support from major powers, and is now almost a mere figurehead.
Although Liu Changxu was determined to eradicate the insect infestation completely and eliminate any future threat, he also knew that such a massive war carried immeasurable risks and losses, and could not be borne by the Liu family alone. After all, the survival of humanity was never the responsibility of a single family or clan.
He glanced at everyone present and said in a serious tone:
"To completely eliminate the Zerg threat, you all must truly set aside your personal desires, reunite under the Holy Court, coordinate your efforts, and share the risks. Otherwise, it will be difficult to succeed."
Jin Haonan and Su Yuxue exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes. They were well aware of the crux of the problem, but faced with the complexities of human nature, they didn't have a good solution.
However, they had no choice but to answer the questions posed by Liu Changxu:
Jin Haonan took a deep breath and said:
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Pool Holy Land is willing to obey the Holy Court's orders without question."
Su Yuxue also spoke up, saying, "Your Majesty, our Kunlun Holy Land is also willing to obey the Holy Land's orders."
Seeing that the two had expressed their stance, Liu Changxu felt somewhat relieved and then looked at the representatives of the other forces. Seeing that both the Kunlun Holy Land and the Tianchi Holy Land had made their statements, these people dared not say anything more and all expressed their willingness to obey the Holy Court's orders.
After making the decision to wipe out the Zerg, the entire Terran race sprang into action, and preparations were carried out in an orderly manner.
The Holy Court, the highest institution of the human race, has also begun to operate again. The rosters of cultivators from the major human forces have been reorganized, and the regulations for resource allocation have been drafted one by one.
Kunlun, Tianchi and other top holy lands were the first to respond, drawing out their elite cultivators to form vanguard teams, and opening their own treasure troves to inventory a large number of magical artifacts, talismans and pills suitable for fighting the insectoid race.
As the main force in launching this war against the insects, the Great Han Immortal Dynasty and the Liu family naturally could not lag behind. They not only prepared to mobilize a large number of elite troops from the Liu family and the Great Han Immortal Dynasty to participate in the war, but also prepared to recruit a large number of human cultivators to form more troops.
In addition to the above, Liu Changxu also planned to bring his sons Liu Fuba and Liu Fuhai, whose cultivation had reached the Mahayana stage, as well as his wives Murong Yuyao, Dongxue, and Xiao Zier, to the battle. He also planned to bring some of his other wives and children whose cultivation had not reached the Mahayana stage.
The entire Terran race was like a sophisticated machine, operating at high speed around the goal of "wiping out the Zerg".
After nearly ten years of preparation, an army of 80 million insecticide workers gathered in the square of Tianchi Holy Land.
The vast Golden Stone Plaza of the Heavenly Pool Holy Land was filled with countless human soldiers, their armor gleaming and their magical treasures shimmering. Countless gazes converged on the high platform in the center of the plaza, revealing a resolute determination to fight against a common enemy.
A solemn oath-taking ceremony was held here. Liu Changxu stood on the high platform, his clear voice resounding in all directions:
"The Zerg are rampaging, invading our territory and harming our people. Today, our eighty million human warriors are united in heart and mind, and we will surely crush the Zerg nest and restore peace to the world!"
"Take down the insect nest! Give me back Qingming!"
Eighty million human soldiers roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and scattering even the drifting clouds in the sky. The cannons boomed, banners fluttered, and the ceremony concluded in a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
Then, Liu Changxu raised his hand and summoned the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship. The Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship grew larger as it faced the wind, transforming in an instant into a colossal ship that blotted out the sky. Its hull was shimmering with light and covered with runes, exuding a terrifying aura that suppressed heaven and earth.
He made a hand seal, and the giant ship's hatch opened wide, releasing a gentle yet irresistible suction force that orderly drew the 80 million troops on the plaza into the ship.
Moments later, the entire army boarded the ship.
Liu Changxu leaped onto the deck and gave the order in a deep voice:
"set sail!"
The Ruyi Sky-Patrol Ship then emitted a deafening roar, slowly rising from the ground, breaking through the clouds, and transforming into a dazzling streak of light as it sped towards the territory occupied by the Zerg.
The moment the ship cleaved through the sky, it was like a sharp sword splitting through the darkness, officially marking the beginning of the war in which the human race would completely annihilate the insectoid race.
