Devouring the Starry Sky: Eclipse Palace Master

Chapter 121 Opening up territories

The powerful sound of the giant axe was like a huge bell, which shook the air and created ripples before slowly falling down.

Li Yang turned his head slightly, his deep gaze like a meteor streaking through the night sky, instantly locking onto the True God Peng Gong.

Peng Gongzhen understood what he meant. He knew that now was the time for him to stand up and express his opinions. His expression instantly became serious and solemn.

"Indeed, the territory of our human race is now like an overgrown forest, a little crowded!"

The voice of Peng Gong Zhenshen was deep and mellow, as if he was telling of an important decision concerning the fate of the ethnic group.

Peng Gong Zhen Shen himself is relatively neutral, not so radical, but not too conservative either.

"It is imperative to expand the territory, but how to start this war of honor and survival? This is undoubtedly a thorny issue that needs to be deeply considered."

At this moment, Li Yang appeared calm on the surface, but in fact, in his mind, he was having a silent but very important communication with the hermit.

"Hermitage, in your opinion, how should our human race expand its territory? Which race should be attacked first?"

Li Yang's consciousness was like a shadow, quickly traveling through the dimension of consciousness and reaching the spiritual world of the hermit.

"With your current powerful strength, you are already capable of dominating the entire primordial universe, like a sovereign who is high above and overlooking all living things."

"I don't think you need to have too many concerns and worries!" The hermit's response was full of radicalism and courage, like a burning fire, trying to ignite the fighting spirit in Li Yang's heart.

……

"However, war also requires strategies and methods."

"If we directly destroy the three top ethnic groups around humans in one fell swoop, although this move may seem domineering, it will also bring many hidden dangers." Zuo Shanke continued.

“After all, without external pressure, the strong men of the human race are very likely to fall into laziness and comfort, just like a blade without a whetstone, which will lose its edge sooner or later.” The words of the hermit were like a clear spring, flowing in Li Yang's consciousness, bringing him calmness and thinking.

……

"With your current invincible strength at the peak of the seventeenth level, you are fully capable of directly breaking into the small universe controlled by the strongest of the mechanical race, insect race, and demon race."

"When their true bodies step into their own small universe, you can catch them by surprise and directly use the art of soul and will enslavement."

"In this way, they will become chess pieces in your hands. Life and death, honor and disgrace all depend on your thoughts." The voice of the hermit echoed in the space of consciousness, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Yang's heart.

"By then, how to skillfully use them to put just the right amount of pressure on the human race will be just like deploying troops on a chessboard. You can do whatever you want with ease!"

As the hermit's words fell, it was like a flash of inspiration that instantly illuminated Li Yang's foggy mind.

Before, Li Yang had never thought that he could directly enter the small universe of the strongest person. After being enlightened by Zuo Shanke, it suddenly became clear to him.

……

Li Yang suddenly realized, and thought to himself, if the hermit planned and acted as he did, the human race would have sufficient resources and a long-standing heritage, like an indestructible fortress;

The outside can always maintain a certain level of pressure, like a bowstring that is always taut. This combination of internal and external efforts is indeed the best strategic plan for the rise of mankind.

... "The Mechanical Father God of the Mechanical Clan has a mechanical body and no soul to be enslaved. The Demon Clan has two powerful and strongest men, and the situation is complicated and changeable. In comparison, the Zerg Queen seems to be the easiest to control, so let's start with her!" Li Yang said.

"I have many secret techniques of taking over other people's bodies with one's will. You can choose one when the time comes!" said the hermit.

Li Yang nodded. He knew that as the former God King, Zuo Shanke must have other precious items on hand that he had not taken out, such as the "Lie Yuan Technique"!
But Li Yang was not in a hurry. After all, he already had a teacher who was as great as "Yuan" - Xing*Guzu, who left him a legacy.

Li Yang quickly reached a consensus with the hermit through the exchange of consciousness.

……

At this moment, the lords of the universe in the conference hall were discussing heatedly with Giant Axe, Chaos and the True God Peng Gong. Various opinions collided and bloomed in the void like fireworks.

Some of the Lords of the Universe were excited, waving their arms and loudly expounding on the grand strategies in their minds;
Some frowned and fell into deep thought, trying to find the safest path in this complicated situation.

Li Yang already had a clear plan and decision in his mind, like a confident chess player who had seen through the direction of the game.

He was not in a hurry to state his position at this moment. Instead, he stood leisurely aside, listening to everyone's opinions with interest.

Because he knows very well that if he expresses his opinions too early, everyone will be dominated by his own ideas like stars surrounding the moon, and in this way, he may miss many other valuable ideas and suggestions.

……

A Lord of the Universe stood up, his eyes sparkling, and said, "I think we can first launch a tentative attack on some small tribes around the Zerg, gradually weakening the Zerg's sphere of influence. At the same time, we can also take the opportunity to observe the Zerg's reaction and strength."

Another Lord of the Universe shook his head and retorted, "This move is too cautious. A small fight will only make the Zerg defensive. It is better to gather our elite forces and launch a surprise attack on the Zerg's core territory to catch them off guard."

Everyone held different opinions and the argument continued.

Li Yang listened silently at the side, with a barely perceptible smile occasionally appearing on the corners of his mouth. He continued to absorb useful ideas from the discussion of the crowd, and at the same time, he was further perfecting the plan he had discussed with the hermit in his mind.

Peng Gong Zhenshen watched the people arguing, coughed lightly, and said: "No matter what strategy is adopted, it is necessary to take into account the post-war territory management and resource integration. If we just expand blindly without effectively managing the new territory, everything will be in vain."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded slightly and agreed, "What True God Peng Gong said is absolutely right. We must not only win the war, but also establish a stable ruling order after the war, so that the new territory can truly integrate into the human race and provide a continuous source of power for the development of our race."

Seeing that everyone had almost finished their discussion, Li Yang slowly spoke: "Everyone's ideas have merit. War is related to the survival of the tribe, and we cannot act rashly. We need to consider all factors and formulate the most complete plan."

……

When everyone heard Li Yang's speech, they all quieted down and focused their eyes on him, their eyes full of expectation and trust.

Li Yang paused and continued, "I think we can first conduct a series of intelligence collection and infiltration work on the Zerg to gain a deeper understanding of the Zerg's internal structure, troop deployment, and resource distribution."

"At the same time, we should exert appropriate influence on the surrounding small and medium-sized ethnic groups to pave the way for subsequent large-scale actions. When the time is right, we can launch a fatal blow to the Zerg in one fell swoop. After we control their territory, we can use the power of the Zerg to create a favorable external environment for the rise of the human race."

After Li Yang finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought. After a moment, they all nodded in agreement.
