Chapter 667: Chapter 393: Earth’s Development, Massing Troops, Preparing for War

After his grandmother’s funeral, Li Xiang stayed on Earth for over a month before departing again for the Taichu Element.

Li Jiangxiao was having the time of her life on Earth and had no desire to go back.

Li Xiang hadn’t planned on making her return anyway. After all, his daughter had grown up in isolation, with only her mother and the flora and fauna of Wilderness Star for company—a life far too austere. Experiencing the bustling mortal world of Earth would be good for her personal growth.

However, Li Jiangxiao wasn’t just having fun. She became a special correspondent for CCTV, reporting on stories from all over the world. She was also privately writing a journal; her *Earth Chronicles* had already reached its eighth entry.

She may not have had a degree from Earth, but with her family background, Saint Tier power, and transcendent aura, she was more than qualified to be a reporter.

Twin Gouyu, Erin, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui all went with him to the Taichu Element.

Li Xiang used his Otherworldly Warehouse to carry a newly built Divine Level Spaceship. It was loaded with eight Nuclear Fusion Reactors, six production lines for Quantum Computers and Computing Satellites, one hundred thousand robots, and a Supercomputing Center made up of ten thousand Quantum Computers. One of Jiang Cai’Er’s Digital Life clones was inside.

His warehouse couldn’t hold living beings, but since Jiang Cai’Er’s Digital Life was purely a stream of consciousness, it wasn’t a problem.

As a precaution, Luo Feifei remained in the Solar Element.

This way, the Solar Element had three Planet Dominator Realm masters—Jiang Cai’Er, Luo Feifei, and Chiba Yuki—standing guard. Coupled with the fact that Earth, Mars, Ceres, and several major moons had now been forged into impregnable, planet-sized war fortresses, they could hold out for a long time even if the Space Exotic Beasts launched a full-scale invasion.

The truce agreement itself was marked with Li Xiang’s spiritual imprint, so if the Space Exotic Beasts were to break it, he would sense the disturbance even from the distant Taichu Element and have enough time to return.

Naturally, before leaving, he checked on the progress of the King of Exotic Beasts within the Sun. Its fusion process with the Sun was only about 10% complete at most. Li Xiang was confident he would reach the Fixed Star Lord Realm before it could.

Twin Gouyu, Erin, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui—the six of them, of course, had a mission. Aside from Wilderness Star, which was occupied by Luo Feifei, the Taichu Element had fifteen other massive planets.

The six women were already at the High Tier or Peak of the Divine King Realm, so it was time for them to reach the Planet Dominator Realm. Even for the few who were still a little short of the peak, reaching it with Li Xiang’s help would be a trivial matter.

The women were all astonished upon arriving in the Taichu Element, awestruck by the magnificence of the desolate, remote star system, even though they had long heard tales of it.

They couldn’t help but admire Luo Feifei even more.

Twin Gouyu, Erin, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui each selected a planet and entered seclusion to cultivate.

Li Xiang also entered the interior of Taichu once more to continue his fusion process.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cai’Er piloted the Divine Level Spaceship to Wilderness Star. Unleashing her full productive capacity, she launched a massive construction campaign on the planet, building power plants, mines, and refineries... Within a few years, the operation had expanded to the size of a small city.

A few years later, a sprawling, futuristic industrial city hundreds of kilometers across rose from the ground. It was completely automated, populated only by robots, robotic dogs, and mechanical spiders. Its workshops were filled with fully automated assembly lines and robotic arms; not a single living person was to be found.

Deep within mountains or far underground, heavily guarded Earth Calculation Centers began to appear, one after another. In the skies above, satellites of all kinds were launched, including the core components of the Celestial Calculation Centers: Computing Satellites.

There were also various space-based weapons, such as orbital cannons, Spiritual Shields, and purely technological Aerospace Carriers.

Over the next several decades, Twin Gouyu, Erin, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui all successively reached the Planet Dominator Realm. Worried about Earth, they all returned.

About another century passed. By the time Li Xiang successfully emerged from his seclusion, Jiang Cai’Er had also smoothly reached the Fixed Star Lord Realm.

By then, the Taichu Element was covered with her Supercomputing Centers. She had established bases not only on Wilderness Star but also on the other fifteen massive planets, as well as every dwarf planet, major asteroid, and moon.

Though Luo Feifei’s main body was far away on Earth, Wilderness Star was essentially one of her clones, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit stunned. ’Did I just do all this work for someone else’s benefit?’

Still, she deeply admired Jiang Cai’Er for finding such an unconventional path to becoming a Constant Star Lord, relying on a boundless network of Supercomputing Centers.

However, Jiang Cai’Er’s status as a Lord was dependent on Li Xiang. It also relied on Luo Feifei, Chiba Yuki, Twin Gouyu, Erin, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui, and the other women, as many of the Supercomputing Centers were built on their territory.

As Planet Masters, they had the right to destroy these Supercomputing Centers, but that would mean burning all bridges and leading to a situation where both sides lost. They were all intelligent women and naturally preferred a win-win scenario.

Having both reached the Fixed Star Lord Realm, Li Xiang and Jiang Cai’Er immediately returned to the Solar Element. Of course, Jiang Cai’Er’s presence in the Taichu Element was only a clone, so it didn’t need to return and could remain to oversee the system.

By this point, the power of the Earth Humans was immense.

Two at the Fixed Star Lord Realm: Li Xiang and Jiang Cai’Er.

Eight at the Planet Dominator Realm: Luo Feifei, Chiba Yuki, Twin Gouyu, Erin, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui.

Furthermore, after so many years of development, Earth’s technology had undergone explosive growth in numerous fields, especially the military. This was all under the leadership of the Wisdom Goddess, Jiang Cai’Er, and thanks to the collective efforts of countless elite scientists from Earth. New types of weapons were emerging one after another.

They had even developed the first-generation Star Destroyer Cannon.

This new superweapon, capable of killing a being at the Planet Dominator Realm, could obliterate a massive planet with a single shot. Even the Sun itself would likely disintegrate if hit enough times.

Such an ultimate weapon, a strategic-grade asset, could not be used lightly. Activating it required the highest level of authorization, which only Li Xiang and Jiang Cai’Er possessed.

To be precise, only Jiang Cai’Er had it.

However, this was only the first generation. It had a long charging time and consumed a tremendous amount of energy. There was still significant room for future improvement.

The two Planet Dominator Realm corpses acquired during the earlier war on Mars had also been converted into Stellar Mother Ships and put into official service. They were colossal, each capable of holding five to six hundred million people. As flagships, their main cannons were, of course, first-generation Star Destroyer Cannons.

With such power, they were more than capable of confronting the swarm of Space Exotic Beasts within the Solar Element. It was safe to say the advantage was theirs.

The only flaw in this perfect picture was that most of them, including Li Xiang, had reached the Fixed Star Lord or Planet Dominator Realm in an Exotic Realm. This meant they lacked a "home-field advantage" in their native Solar Element.

It couldn’t be helped.

After careful consideration, Li Xiang and the others decided to wait for the three-hundred-year truce to expire before making their move.

It wasn’t a matter of being honorable. The main issue was that while they currently held an advantage, it wasn’t an overwhelming one. If they initiated a war rashly, not only would they be in the wrong, but the casualties would be immense.

Besides, once a war started, there would be no turning back. According to simulations run by Jiang Cai’Er’s Supercomputing Center, Earth Human casualties could exceed three billion, perhaps even reaching five or six billion.

An unbearable price to pay.

If they could just wait a while longer and give Earth Humans more time to develop, their technological level would advance even more explosively, and the number of Extraordinary Beings at every Tier would increase.

How could the barbaric and inefficient civilization of the Exotic Beasts possibly keep up with Earth Humans?
