After all, the entire body has been exchanged, and emotions can be controlled by Primordial Energy.
Therefore, what truly concerns Shen Shi at this moment is the emotions displayed by the people around him since Gong Chu appeared.
It is a genuine reverence, a yearning, and even faintly, a sense of fanaticism.
This makes him clearly realize that the status of the only remaining Master of Primordial Energy among humans is much higher than he anticipated and imagined.
Even the Collector, at this moment, is radiating feelings of reverence.
"Today, I have gathered everyone not only to announce my successful achievement as a Master of Primordial Energy," Gong Chu began, making Shen Shi understand why so many people have come here today.
It turns out it is due to Gong Chu’s summoning.
"Everyone knows that the Daike Civilization has long gathered numerous corps at our Star System Fortress borders. They don’t want to give us any time for development, so the war will erupt soon," Gong Chu continued, slightly turning his head. Everyone felt as if they were being watched. "This war is vital for the future of Human Civilization for at least thousands of years. If we win, we will proceed toward glory; if we lose, we will become eternal history, everything turning into nothing. Hence, we need to concentrate all the forces we can."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shi somewhat understood the purpose of Gong Chu’s gathering today.
It has been stated before that many people with the Black Market are actually not located in the Solar System.
They are not even within the range that Human Civilization can find.
Since acquiring the Black Market, they have been attempting to escape the supervision of the Daike Civilization, even fleeing the entire Mude System, which is also the main reason the Daike Civilization initiated the large-scale investigation.
If Human Civilization had not successfully upgraded to a C-level before the large-scale investigation commenced.
The only thing waiting for humanity would be a judgment war.
Such a war would mean near total annihilation.
But from Gong Chu’s words, despite escaping the judgment war, the situation remains pessimistic, as the Daike Civilization has already gathered their corps prematurely.
Shen Shi initially thought that after the Daike Civilization had prepared thoroughly and sent their corps to the Solar System, it would take at least a hundred years.
The anonymous Shen Shi slightly furrowed his brow, scanning the people before him, uncertain how many had already escaped and would return to Blue Star at such a perilous moment.
But unexpectedly, the first to respond was Veness.
"Our entire Ulysses Clan has decided to return entirely!" Veness announced promptly, "We only need more support for Hibernation Pods from Commander Gong Chu; our Hibernation Pods are insufficient, and we wish to join Commander Gong Chu’s Dongfeng Corps. We haven’t returned to the Mother Star for so long, and apart from Commander Gong Chu, we don’t trust anyone else!"
The words he spoke were very straightforward and conveyed the same emotions.
However, the rest of the people were still taken aback.
"Return entirely?" Someone seemingly modified biologically, shining with holy white light all over, couldn’t help but speak, "Your Ulysses Clan has been on the run for nearly a thousand years, already settled down, abandoning nearly a millennium of operations just like that?"
"We are not as well-settled as your Dragon Fang Clan," Veness glanced at this person, "luckily finding a young and suitable star and transforming it into a habitable planet, even creating an artificial race, living as gods themselves... You’d better pray not to be discovered, or when you want to return to the Mother Star in an emergency, first see if Commander Gong Chu is willing to receive you."
"Why wouldn’t he?" This human from the Dragon Fang Clan, even facing Veness’s blatant sarcasm, showed no anger, merely responded calmly, "I’m just surprised you are betting everything, but it doesn’t mean we will do nothing. Dragon Fang Clan has decided to send back sixty percent of personnel and eighty percent of warships along with other equipment to return to the Mother Star; Hibernation Pods are sufficient."
"Only fifty percent of personnel, you are as cowardly as ever," Veness’s sarcasm intensified, "Hope you haven’t been gods for so long that you’ve deceived even yourselves, and when any crisis descends, you won’t even have a chance to escape."
The person from the Dragon Fang was indeed silent without refuting.
Shen Shi even felt he was equally worried about this issue.
At this moment, another person interjected.
"Not everyone can act like Veness’s clan; naturally, we all hope the Mother Star wins, but if we lose, we can only accept this result... However, sixty percent personnel is indeed too few. We are dispatching ninety percent and nearly all of our assets, leaving only the Fire."
"We’re almost the same."
"Seven hundred years have been waiting for this day."
"I must return entirely; recently a C-level civilization within the Mude System is hunting us, rather die fighting at home than outside."
The Shanghe Clan dispatching seventy percent, has already moved away from the Milky Way Galaxy, finding a relatively hidden and safe location with no strong civilization node bases detected nearby, could serve as a retreat for the Mother Star."
