CHAPTER 328: CHAPTER 204: A PLACE EASY TO DEFEND BUT HARD TO ATTACK_2

The new generation of the Divine Court, which includes many elders and people like El, is very clear that what they believe in is merely the gods in their hearts, rather than the real gods that existed thousands of years ago.

Perhaps, ever since they learned that the Civilization of the Gods was actually being hunted by a more powerful civilization, hastily hiding and then hastily leaving again, their initial faith had already been completely shattered.

So at this moment.

Praying for the protection of the gods seemed to become the greatest irony.

El even thought.

It’s time for the Divine Court and the Royal Court to truly become one.

After returning to the fleet, he did not say much to his subordinates, he simply and calmly said: "Set off, leave the Black Curtain."

"Yes!"

...

The Cosmic Star, as the Mother Star of the Cosmic Civilization, has experienced vicissitudes in the short span of several thousand years of its development that it had not experienced in tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years in the past.

Including several wars, environmental damage, and the subsequent restoration...

At this moment, the Cosmic Star is the Holy Land of the entire civilization.

Very few people can reside here.

On this vast planet, less than a million people live, a part of which is the personnel from the Royal Court, including the King, the Queen, and many high-level officials.

The other part belongs to the Divine Court.

This includes the Pope, many elders of the Divine Court, and numerous people of high status and prestige.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call this place the power center of the entire Cosmic People.

In fact, all the higher echelons of the vast civilization are entirely from here.

Naturally, the environment on this planet has become incredibly beautiful, even primitive.

But at this moment.

This place, resembling a holy sanctuary, was nevertheless shaken.

"Is what the elders said true?" The King of the Cosmic People, a ruler for over a thousand years, whose achievements and position were unparalleled in the entire Cosmic Civilization, had even been deified in the hearts of many people, having an influence comparable to the gods by single-handedly establishing the balance between the Royal Court and the Divine Court.

But at this moment.

This figure, legendary within the Cosmic Civilization, was also unable to control his shock.

Before him stood the current Pope of the Divine Court and many elders of the Divine Court.

He had just learned this startling news from these people.

——A powerful entity from the depths of space had already arrived in their star system!

"Although currently only discovered through Jis, just the changes occurring in Jis are enough to basically confirm this fact." The Pope, who was much younger than King Yu, belonged to a different era, as the pope of King Yu’s time had already fallen. Over King Yu’s thousand-year reign, the Divine Court had continuously been in a state of decline.

If not for the indelible presence of the gods in the development history of the entire Cosmic Civilization.

Deeply embedded in every Cosmic Person’s understanding of themselves.

The Divine Court might no longer exist.

However, despite appearing evenly matched at the moment, the Divine Court had paid a heavily significant change.

But, according to the history known by Shen Shi, in the following 600 years until the appearance of the Daike Civilization, the Cosmic Civilization remained in conflict between the Royal Court and the Divine Court.

So at this moment, King Yu’s first reaction wasn’t about how to face this unprecedented giant change, but whether this information was truly real.

So facing the Pope’s words, Emperor Yu remained silent.

His gaze became incredibly deep, with no trace of emotion revealed.

After a while, he slowly said, "I have a subordinate’s avatar not far from that area; it should be able to arrive in about half a month. Maybe we can get more information in half a month. Besides, the Fire Plan has been launched, and a group of people will leave the star system in different directions."

This was probably the best result he could come up with after the initial shock and comprehensive consideration.

However, the Pope’s resolve was evidently greater by a significant margin.

"King Yu," he straightforwardly said, "in terms of ability, love for the civilization, and responsibility for the civilization, I am not as good as you. Therefore, in the coming time, I, including the entire Divine Court, will obey your commands."

When he said this sentence, King Yu’s emotions fluctuated for a moment.

It was an almost incomprehensible disbelief.

But he quickly calmed himself.

His inner world had completely changed.

Clearly, if such words were spoken from the Pope, there could be no hidden conspiracies anymore. After all, the Pope in the Divine Court is the spokesperson of the gods, a substitute for the belief in the gods.

Which means.

It really had come to a moment of life and death for the entire Cosmic Civilization!

"I understand." King Yu felt immense pressure at this moment.

Far beyond the wars with the Divine Court a few centuries ago.

...

At this moment, Shen Shi, the root cause who stirred the high-level of the entire Cosmic Civilization, naturally did not know what decisions King Yu and the Pope, these two highest powers of the Cosmic Civilization, had made.

Although he continued to stay highly attentive to the changes in the Cosmic Civilization, it was ultimately impossible for him to be so detailed.

However, he wasn’t just idly waiting without knowing anything.

With the help of the detectors on the Grotto Heaven, Shen Shi had already drawn the real-time star map of the entire Star System.

On this, most of the intelligent life of the Cosmic Civilization, as well as all the ships, even the space bases and facilities, were all crystal clear.

Just one week after he threw out Jis, the person watching the star map had a noticeable discovery.

The Cosmic People’s fleet had begun gathering at the location of the Black Curtain and Mother Star.

This news was quickly reported to Shen Shi and a group of high-level officials.

The conference was convened.

"It’s faster than anticipated." Shen Shi, acting as spokesperson, stated, "This is sufficient to indicate the existence of Primordial Energy Masters within the Cosmic People who can create avatars, otherwise proximity to the Mother Star wouldn’t have responded so quickly. Moreover, according to the Primordial Energy detection, a gigantic ship carrying millions of people is already heading in the opposite direction."

"Clearly, this is the Cosmic People fleeing." Tao De quietly commented, "It’s either the Fire Plan or the high-level escaping."

"High-level escape is unlikely," another person refuted, "According to the intelligence provided by Councillor Shen, the Cosmic Civilization is currently in a period of highly centralized authority, King Yu would not allow some high-level personnel to flee without a fight, nine times out of ten it is the Fire Plan."

"Regardless of whether it’s the Fire Plan, the response from the Cosmic People has already occurred; I believe the next step of the plan can be carried out ahead of schedule." It was Prince Curtis who said this, "It’s best if we can intercept this ship to prove everything is under our control."

"I agree."

"Agree."

"..."

Following Curtis’s suggestion, many expressed agreement—they all believed the next step in the plan could proceed directly.

In truth, achieving the aim of Human Civilization could be complex or simple.

The key lies in "deterrence."

"Sebas," Shen Shi directly queried the warship AI, "At this distance, performing a jump is reaching the limit, right."

The Grotto Heaven, as a B-level migration warship, had a rather powerful Jump Engine, but in terms of size, compared to a smaller B-level warship like Iwen, its jump distance was slightly less.

This was why it took thirteen years for the Grotto Heaven to arrive at the Cosmic Civilization.

Even a B-level ship would also encounter node distances too great for a single jump, with the Cosmic Star being within one such ultra-long node range.

A place that is standardly easy to defend and hard to attack.

This was why it wasn’t discovered by the Daike Civilization until it reached the level of D, and why the so-called Gods Civilization attempted to escape to this location, even trying to rebuild civilization here.
