The Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace in the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 121 Expanding Territory

The powerful sound of the giant axe, like a resounding bell, rippled through the air before slowly falling.

Li Yang turned his head slightly, his deep gaze like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, instantly locking onto Peng Gong Zhen Shen.

Peng Gongzhen understood immediately. He knew that this was the time for him to step forward and express his views, and his expression instantly became serious and solemn.

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

Peng Gongzhenshen's voice was deep and mellow, as if he were telling a major decision concerning the fate of the people.

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

"Expanding territory is imperative, but how to start this war for honor and survival? This is undoubtedly a thorny issue that urgently needs in-depth consideration."

At this moment, Li Yang appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was engaging in a silent yet very important exchange with the Mountain Guest in his mind.

"Mountain Dweller, in your opinion, how should our human race expand its territory? Which race should we strike first?"

Li Yang's consciousness, like a shadowy figure, swiftly traversed the dimensions of consciousness, reaching directly into the spiritual world of the Mountain Hermit.

"With your current strength, you are already capable of dominating the entire primordial universe, like a supreme ruler looking down upon all living beings."

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

……

"However, war also requires strategy and methods."

"While annihilating the three most powerful races surrounding humanity might seem impressive, it would also bring many hidden dangers," the Mountain Guest continued.

"After all, without external pressure, the strong of the human race are very likely to fall into complacency and ease, like a sharp blade that has lost its whetstone, sooner or later it will lose its edge." The words of the Mountain Hermit were like a clear spring, flowing gently through Li Yang's consciousness, bringing him calmness and reflection.

……

"With your current invincible strength at the peak of the seventeenth rank, you are fully capable of directly entering the small universes controlled by the strongest members of the Machine Race, the Insect Race, and the Demon Race."

"Once their true forms step into their own miniature universe, you can take them by surprise and directly use the art of soul and will enslavement."

"In this way, they will become pawns in your hands, their lives, honor, and disgrace all in your hands." The voice of the Mountain Hermit echoed in the space of consciousness, each word like a heavy hammer, striking Li Yang's heart.

"At that time, skillfully utilizing the pressure they exert on humanity will be as easy as maneuvering troops on a chessboard—effortless and effortless!"

As soon as the mountain hermit finished speaking, it was like a flash of inspiration that instantly illuminated the fog of Li Yang's thoughts.

Previously, Li Yang had never thought that he could directly enter the miniature universe of the strongest, but after the guidance of the Mountain Hermit, he suddenly understood.

……

Li Yang suddenly realized that, in his heart, if the Mountain Guest planned and acted in this way, the human race would have abundant resources and a long-standing heritage, making it like an indestructible fortress.

The external environment can maintain a certain level of pressure at all times, like a bowstring that is always taut. This combination of internal and external measures is indeed the best strategic solution for the rise of mankind.

……

"The Mechanical Father God of the Mechanical Race is a mechanical body with no soul to be enslaved, while the Demon Race has two powerful and strongest beings, making the situation complex and unpredictable. In comparison, this Zerg Queen seems the easiest to control, so let's start with her!" Li Yang said.

"I have plenty of secret techniques for seizing possession of wills. You can choose one yourself when the time comes!" said the Mountain Guest.

Li Yang nodded. He knew that as a former god-king, the Mountain-Sitting Guest must have other precious items that he hadn't taken out, such as the "Lieyuan Technique"!

However, Li Yang was not in a hurry, after all, he already had a teacher who was comparable to the great being "Yuan" - the Star Ancestor, who left him the legacy.

Li Yang and the mountain dweller quickly reached a consensus during their conscious exchange.

……

At this moment, the lords of the universes in the conference hall were having a heated discussion with Giant Axe, Chaos, and True God Peng Gong, with various viewpoints colliding and blooming in the void like fireworks.

Some of the cosmic rulers were excited, waving their arms and loudly expounding their grand strategies;

Some frowned, lost in thought, trying to find the safest path in this complex situation.

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

He wasn't in a hurry to state his position at this moment. Instead, he stood leisurely to the side, listening with great interest to everyone's opinions.

He knew that if he expressed his opinion too early, everyone would follow his own ideas like stars orbiting the moon, and in doing so, they might miss out on many other valuable ideas and suggestions.

……

A cosmic being stood up, his eyes shining brightly, and said, "I think we can first launch probing attacks on some small groups around the Zerg, gradually weakening the Zerg's sphere of influence, while also taking the opportunity to observe the Zerg's reaction and strength."

Another cosmic ruler shook his head and retorted, "This move is too cautious. Small-scale skirmishes will only make the Zerg more prepared. It would be better to gather our elite forces and launch a surprise attack on the Zerg's core territory, catching them off guard."

Everyone had their own opinion, and the debate raged on.

Li Yang listened quietly, a faint smile occasionally appearing on his lips. He absorbed useful ideas from the discussion and refined the plan he had discussed with Zuo Shan Ke.

Peng Gongzhen, watching the crowd argue, coughed lightly and said, "Regardless of the strategy, post-war territorial governance and resource integration must be considered. If we blindly expand without effectively managing the new territories, everything will be in vain."

The Lord of Chaos City nodded slightly and echoed, "True God Peng Gong 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 be integrated into the human race and provide a continuous source of power for the development of our race."

Seeing that everyone had finished their discussion, Li Yang slowly spoke up: "Your ideas all have merit. War concerns the life and death of our people, and we cannot act rashly. We need to comprehensively consider all factors and formulate the most comprehensive plan."

……

Upon hearing Li Yang's speech, everyone quieted down and focused their attention on him, their eyes filled with expectation and trust.

Li Yang paused for a moment, then continued, "I think we can first launch a series of intelligence gathering and infiltration operations against the Zerg to gain a deeper understanding of their internal structure, troop deployment, and resource distribution."

"At the same time, exert appropriate influence among the surrounding small and medium-sized groups to lay the groundwork for subsequent large-scale operations. When the time is right, launch a fatal blow against the Zerg and take control of their territory. Then, we can use the Zerg's power to create a favorable external environment for the rise of the human race."

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