Chapter 1683: Chapter 659: Territorial Concessions and Indemnities

Six years passed in the blink of an eye, and when the Hundred Emperors arrived at the battlefield, the battle here had already ended.

No accidents happened, but there were no extra surprises either.

Previously, due to the urgent battle situation, the Sublimator Mother Empress basically chose to simultaneously destroy all of its neurons in a desperate fight.

The Mother Empress Ships hoped their allies could turn the tide; at the very least, they hoped to slightly delay time to gain time and space for reconstructing their brain.

Regrettably, the plan failed completely.

The Pilgrims and Spirit Demon Race failed to delay time, and the Mother Empress Ships’ plans to reconstruct their neural systems fell through entirely. Their neuron self-destruction could only kill the viruses within the neurons, but had no effect on viruses scattered in other areas of the body.

The newly evolved neuron cells couldn’t survive more than ten hours before viruses tracked them down through cell pheromones, becoming parasitized and disturbed again.

Thus, the Mother Empress Ships were unable to form a new complete consciousness, instead, becoming a pile of eternally decaying rotten flesh floating in space.

As for the Mother Empress Ships’ reproductive subunits and Starry Sky Giant Beasts, they didn’t even have the ability to struggle.

This was a complete dimensional reduction strike, much like a faucet flushing an ant mound.

Aside from the Double-eyed Beast successfully escaping, nineteen War Mother Empresses with energy equivalent to small stars and a hundred Starry Sky Giant Beasts with total mass-energy akin to planets were entirely turned into production resources for the Red Blade Army, truly fitting the name of transport legion.

The Red Blade Army hence stationed itself, beginning to digest the transport legion’s gift—vast amounts of energy and resources, nineteen new types of giant reproductive cells, the warfare weapon Starry Sky Giant Beast, and two large intelligent machines that could boost Sun Ai’s computing power by 200%.

These resources were enough for the Red Blade Army to regain a development stance in the dark matter energy density relatively sparse region, merely requiring the conversion of energy capture from dark matter to conventional biological battery development.

Additionally, there were two wooden ships which lost telekinesis protection due to their owners’ deaths, turned from miraculous to rotten and accidentally shattered, along with two corpses of Divine Level Spirit Demons, neither having a heartbeat nor consciousness, utterly dead, distinctly different from a normal human body. These were treasures too.

Looking at the bustling "construction site" ahead, the Hundred Emperors were in a somewhat awkward position.

They wanted to proceed further, but were intercepted.

However, the interceptor neither launched an attack, obviously mistaking them as allies.

This situation left the Hundred Emperors quite vexed.

They hurriedly thought, you could at least fire a shot at me for show!

If you do nothing, wouldn’t that confirm me as a traitor, and what if I self-destruct!?

Otherwise, should I take the initiative? But could this lead to a misjudgment?

Ren Zhong is very protective; what if I accidentally kill some people and he retaliates for real?

Gazing at the nineteen War Mother Empresses’ corpses inside, it was obvious they weren’t their match, purely suicidal.

After a brief period of anxiety, luckily the Hundred Emperors realized the information flow had just concluded, enabling contact with the Founder and other Mother Empresses.

They reported their situation truthfully, detailing the death states of the nineteen first-class Mother Empresses including Bailong. Unfortunately, the Hundred Emperors’ intelligence was limited; they only knew from the Double-eyed Beast that Bailong and the others fell ill, but were clueless about the specific illness.

Hence, their intel only added a post-battle summary beyond what the Double-eyed Beast could provide.

Nonetheless, the intelligence scared the Sublimators’ decision-makers.

Nineteen first-class Mother Empresses, a hundred Starry Sky Giant Beasts, such formidable power could stir a full-blown frontal war. The previous Three Domains War was of similar scale, yet against the Red Blade Army, it couldn’t even create a ripple, disappearing silently.

This was terrifying.

Therefore, the Hundred Emperors were tasked to endure humiliation, make concessions, continue close observation of the enemy, and must figure out the "bizarre illness."

To assure the Hundred Emperors’ safety and increase their chances of successfully completing the intelligence-gathering mission, the Founder even relaxed restrictions on the Hundred Emperors, allowing them to autonomously decide the depth of cooperation with the Red Blade Army.

Thus, the Hundred Emperors finally transitioned from a tormented and fearful traitor anxious about genetic instincts and explosions into a sanctioned spy in the enemy camp.

Subsequently, the Red Blade Army entered a fast-paced development stage once again.

Ren Zhong returned to the Source Star Ship.

At this moment, the two corpses of the Spirit Demons were placed in the laboratory.

Originally scheduled to go into cryogenic sleep, Vittel Haddon, the head of Red Blade Bio, was instead drawn to this new evolution method he had never encountered, involving himself in the examination of the two bodies.

Many excellent Telekinesis Masters within the legion also arrived on the Source Star Ship to assist in analyzing the Divine Level Spirit Demons’ bodies’ mysteries.

This kind of physiological function alteration to infinitely elevate telekinesis evolution paths still held substantial reference value.

Moreover, adding the Wise Man’s consciousness imprisoned in the auxiliaries of two Sun Ais, it unexpectedly encapsulated the four major human branches of the Ancient Disk Galaxy in cosmic void, achieving unprecedented harmony.

In a sense, Ren Zhong indeed enforced harmony between the four groups through sheer authoritarian power.

Since the Red Blade Army ceased evasion, officially declaring that their expeditionary actions exited guerrilla warfare phase, entering fixed-position warfare’s new stage.

Frankly, the Red Blade Army deliberately relinquished mobility advantage, openly stationed themselves.

This was a clear provocative stance, yet extremely painful for the Sublimators, Pilgrims, and Spirit Demon Race.

The joint Expeditionary Army had already encountered a catastrophic defeat, lost without warning or reason.

The Expeditionary Army not only achieved nothing but failed in even basic intelligence collection work.

The unfolding signs indisputably proved the Red Blade Army had acquired a massive technological advantage resembling a generational technology gap.

In any era of warfare, if one side suddenly couldn’t understand the other’s moves, it often indicated impending annihilation.

Unknown enemies are the most feared.

The vast territories provided the Sublimators and the other three races with abundant resources and expansive development space, which surprisingly became a disadvantage now.

To launch another cleansing action against the Red Blade Army, forces must expand hundreds-fold over the joint Expeditionary Army base to inspire confidence.

Yet this required hefty resource expenditure and lengthy time to mobilize forces.

Even if they gathered enough forces to face the Red Blade Army, what if they shamelessly fled again?

Thus, although the Red Blade Army appears the smallest in scale after recently defecting from the Mechanical Empire, it has inadvertently become the fifth power in the Ancient Disk Galaxy, immensely feared by the Sublimators and three races.

Ren Zhong’s grand proclamation of wanting to become the Fifth Empire gradually turned into reality.

After extensive complex discussions and deliberations, the Sublimator’s three sides decided to adjust strategy, advancing by retreating.

Through the Hundred Emperors acting as war correspondent and "diplomatic ambassador," they sent a jointly signed diplomatic letter to the Red Blade Army, proactively proposing a ceasefire offer.

Furthermore, the Sublimators would fully withdraw military force deployments from the Hundred Clusters Star Domain, allowing the Red Blade Army to station within the domain and would even deliver considerable resources proactively.

In essence, this was cession and reparations.

Ren Zhong saw the letter and merely smiled, whispering to the person beside him, "They plan to first destroy the Mechanical Empire, then slowly scheme against us."
