Chapter 1617: Chapter 801: Postwar Conference and Torch Fortune
“Greedy Wolf, Po Jun, where do you think that Thirty-Six-winged Holy Angel comes from?”
Above the [Human Emperor City] Vault of Heaven, the flagships of the seven hall masters of the [Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall], including several Eighth Rank Star Venerables, were quietly suspended, and their voices were echoing in the warship communications group chat.
The Hall Master of Po Jun thought for a moment and was the first to reply:
“No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem to originate from the Angel Civilization Ancestral Domain.”
“Is it possible that it was converted by the Shi Clan?”
Song Chi offered a perspective, although this possibility was not something only he had thought of.
“If it is a conversion, to control a mythical creature with the Word Spirit Rules, it would only be possible by that Eleventh Rank Ancestor Buddha from the Holy Buddha lineage of the Shi Clan.”
“However, this doesn’t seem to make much sense, as the Thirty-Six-winged Holy Angel was personally slain by His Majesty Emperor Jiang. Following that, Emperor Jiang and Lord Green have both witnessed its corpse with their own eyes. Since they have not mentioned this point, they must not have found any traces of Word Spirit Curse Seals.”
…
Song Chi was also full of doubt about this point, not unfamiliar with the myriad methods of the Shi Clan.
He had repeatedly used the Power of Double Pupils to scrutinize the Holy Angel’s corpse, yet had consistently found nothing. Originally, he had thought it was because his Double Pupils rank was too low, currently only at the Seventh Rank Peak, which made it difficult to detect any peculiarities in the Thirty-Six-winged Holy Angel’s corpse. But now, it seems that was not the case.
Just as several individuals in the group chat were preparing to continue their discussion, three consecutive chimes suddenly emanated from below.
Knowing that this was the four Emperors actively convening all Torch Ship Captains of Star-Annihilating Starships and above for a meeting, they didn’t hesitate and directed their warships downward.
This meeting was meant to summarize the Human Emperor City Guard Battle, which also served as a crucial event for the entire Torch Civilization crisis.
Additionally, it was necessary to award merits and rewards to all martyrs, including all courageous citizens who selflessly dedicated themselves to the Torch Civilization in this crisis.
Human Emperor City, Human Emperor Hall.
Over ten thousand figures were congregating on the gigantic platform deep within the majestic hall. At the head of the hall, the Divine Xia Jiang Emperor sat at the center, with the other three Emperors seated on either side.
The four individuals exuded a dignified and solemn presence. Seeing the four Emperors so serious, the high-level captains gathered below naturally didn’t dare to interact lightly at such a moment, leaving the atmosphere in the entire hall exceedingly solemn.
Song Chi glanced around, confirming that as the number in the hall approached 15-16 thousand, no one else entered.
Of course, this was not to say that the entire Torch Civilization had only these 16,000-plus captains of Star-Annihilating Starships and above. In fact, even if the number couldn’t double, the difference wouldn’t be significant.
After all, aside from those stationed at the two major River System Communities in the Ancestral Domain, there are a substantial number of Star-Annihilating Captains lingering in warfront locations similar to the Bottomless Abyss and the Starry Sea Insect Race, which require personnel to stay behind, including those exploring the Alien Star Domain or adventuring in the Chaos Divine Land.
Of course, one of the most critical aspects is the battle losses from this confrontation; from what he knows, over the past few thousand years, the number of high-level captains who fell inside and outside [Human Emperor City] would not be less than four digits.
…
“Ladies and gentlemen, you are the backbone that supports the entire Torch Civilization, the absolute force enabling Torch Humanity to maintain sufficient external deterrence. In this time of civilization’s calamity, you did not fear, nor did you stand idly by. The fact that Human Emperor City was able to hold steadfast is closely tied to each and every one of you here.”
“Here, on behalf of the countless citizens of Torch Humanity, we, the four, express our most heartfelt gratitude to you and to all the martyrs who sacrificed in this calamity!”
…
There was no grandstanding; every word came from the heart.
And shortly after, Emperor Jiang soon shifted the subject:
“After today, the news that our Torch Humanity has ascended to an Overlord Civilization will soon spread across the Shattered Starry Sea, and [Human Emperor City] will henceforth be impregnable, no longer easily disturbed by external races!”
“Moreover, the civilization has reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement with the Wizard Civilization, and soon both sides will jointly establish a brand-new Chaos City. At that time, it will be led by Emperor Ying, Emperor Ji, and the Holy Emperor. All forces willing to participate in this joint action can afterward return to the Ancestral Domain and register at the four major Torch Ancestral Courts.”
…
Emperor Jiang spoke a great deal about the subsequent strategies for the civilization’s development, including jointly establishing a new Chaos City with the Wizard Civilization and recapturing several previously abandoned civilization battlefronts.
However, the most crucial aspect was what Emperor Jiang mentioned last concerning plans aimed at the Star Domain of the Corpse Emperor Clan, which is adjacent to the southern end of the Torch Humanity Galaxy Cluster.
Torch Humanity Galaxy Cluster, Eight-Armed Snake Demon River System Cluster, Corpse Emperor Clan River System Cluster.
The relations between these three River System Communities are akin to three spheres placed side by side, where the Torch Humanity Galaxy Cluster is in the center, the Eight-Armed Snake Demon River System Cluster on the north side, and the Corpse Emperor Clan River System Cluster to the south.
Among these three neighboring River System Communities, the Torch Civilization could devour the entire Eight-Armed Snake Demon River System Cluster independently even before ascending to an Overlord Level Civilization, so how could it now abandon that Corpse Emperor Clan Cluster?
The terrifying amount of resources contained within an entire River System Cluster, which the various forces of the Torch Civilization have just had a taste of, makes them yearn for more. Given that His Majesty Emperor Jiang has also proactively proposed it, how could the Star-Annihilating and Star River ancestors in this hall, originating from various forces, not be enticed?
