Chapter 6950: A God-Sent Opportunity

In the main cabin of the Destiny

, a space was filled with Dao (Great Daos), all of relatively low rank, not exceeding the Heavenly Venerable level, but in great numbers.

“Delicious,”

Zi Zhen murmured, idly snacking on the Daos.

One after another, Daos were slowly devoured before her eyes.

This petite, purple-haired, purple-eyed loli squinted, humming a tune, swinging her legs contentedly. This extravagant scene would be breathtaking for anyone who witnessed it, though Li Tianming was already used to it. Suddenly, lightning flashed between her brows, and a small Primordial Chaos Realm unfolded

, chaotic lightning filling the entire main cabin. Li Tianming stepped out. At the same time, Aurora and Sui Shenyao transformed from their earring forms into Chaos Sword Maiden forms. Looking at the scene before him, Li Tianming’s lips twitched slightly. “So good at enjoying life?” “What’s wrong with refining some Daos? I haven’t even refined any high-ranking ones yet. Where can you find such a thrifty and good-natured woman like me?” Zi Zhen said proudly. “Alright, alright, I didn’t stop you from cultivating. My Great Dao is your Great Dao, and your combat power is my combat power, isn’t it? It doesn’t matter, getting stronger by eating more is a good thing.” Zi Zhen smiled with satisfaction. “You’re sensible.” “How was the trip?” Li Tianming asked with a hint of helplessness. “It’s a long story, and the situation is rather complicated.” Zi Zhen raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms. “Then there’s no need to say more. In short, just call me when you need my help. Eating so much of your Great Dao wasn’t for nothing.” Li Tianming smiled slightly. “That’s for sure.” After saying that, Li Tianming, Aurora, and Sui Shenyao left and went to the main cabin where the Tianming Army was located. With the Tianming starship core on him, Li Tianming opened the sealed main cabin door. When he appeared in the Tianming Army’s sight, many eyes filled with different emotions were cast upon him. “The Heavenly Mandate Army Commander is back!” “So much time has passed, he must have obtained a lot of important information by now, right?” “Nonsense! What information could one person possibly obtain? It’s already a miracle he returned alive from the Small Divine Treasury Star System.” “Besides, traveling such a long distance, even if he brought back some news, it would be old news by then.” Some were relieved by his safe return, while others still questioned the necessity of the trip. Of course, some people, seeing that he was still alive, grew even colder. It was Huan Sheng! Li Tianming walked to a spot where he could face the entire Heavenly Mandate Army, his sharp gaze first sweeping over the varied expressions on the faces of the crowd before he began to speak. “I know that everyone is eager to make a name for themselves and fight on the front lines, as this is your first expedition.” “You are my soldiers. You can die in battle, and even I, your commander, can die, but you cannot die meaninglessly. I am responsible for you, and I am also responsible for myself.” “Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. War is not child’s play, and I hope you understand this.” At this moment, in the front ranks of the Heavenly Mandate Army, Huan Sheng spoke in a voice that most of the Heavenly Mandate Army could hear, “But what could you possibly find out by going alone? And judging from the route, you shouldn’t have returned so quickly. I suspect you just circled around the Little Divine Treasury Star System and got nothing!” Li Tianming glanced at him and said indifferently, “I have no obligation to explain to you. This is the Heavenly Mandate Army. If you continue to disregard military discipline and interrupt your commander’s speech, then you will have to be dealt with according to military regulations.” “You…” An Ning glared at Huan Sheng next to Li Tianming. Huan Sheng remembered the pain of being beaten up not long ago, and he endured it! Li Tianming withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and continued to look at the Heavenly Mandate Army. Li Tianming continued, his eyes blazing with fury, exuding the majesty of a true emperor. “I have obtained some crucial information, which I can now share with you all.” He briefly announced the current situation in the Little Divine Treasury Star System to the entire army, including the matter of the young emperor and the Thirteen Alliances. Instantly, this sparked countless discussions. “Commander Tianming, as you say, isn’t this a golden opportunity? We can immediately raise an army, join forces with the young emperor, and achieve a resounding victory in our first battle!” Most people echoed. “Yes, this is a golden opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime chance! We must seize it!” “This is a great opportunity for our Tianming Army to distinguish ourselves! Winning this victory with our newly formed legion will surely make our Tianming Army famous throughout the Heavenly Emperor Sect!” However, some expressed concern. “Since ancient times, when conquering star systems, the most that has happened is to enslave the natives. Perhaps the offspring of these slaves can eventually escape slavery. But isn’t it a bit too cruel to directly exterminate an entire race like this?” “Who says that both battlefields can only use the same approach? The Little Divine Treasury Star System has a smaller population, so perhaps we can achieve dominance through conquest without exterminating the race!” “It’s not that simple… If we could truly conquer this stubborn race, the young emperor probably wouldn’t have chosen the current method. After all, exterminating their race would come at a greater cost. To take the Divine Treasury Star System, this is a desperate measure.” In general, the majority advocates sending troops, and the majority also advocates not exterminating the race. But given the current situation, this seems contradictory. However, the leader of the Heavenly Mandate Army has returned. They are all waiting for Li Tianming to make his true choice! Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Li Tianming said calmly: “My decision is to continue waiting for the right opportunity and remain inactive for the time being.” These words caused a great stir among the Heavenly Mandate Army members. Some were confused, some were determined, and some sneered. The most jarring voice came from Huan Sheng. He frowned deeply upon hearing Li Tianming’s decision. Speaking from the crowd, he said, “Li Tianming, are you kidding me? Such a good opportunity, and you’re making us wait?” “Could it be that you intend to let the Shenzang Clan go? The Emperor has already decided to exterminate them. Are you trying to mock the Emperor’s cruelty?” Huan Sheng’s words indeed caused a great stir, with some voices supporting him. “Brother Huan Sheng is right! We’re here to fight, not to be cowards!” At this moment, Huan Sheng’s words completely froze the atmosphere.

Aside from their group, almost everyone else remained silent, with only a few daring to whisper among themselves.

Li Tianming stared expressionlessly at Huansheng, saying nothing. Gradually, some disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect around Huansheng lowered their heads guiltily.

Beside them, the woman in the white dress, ‘Huanmie,’ looked somewhat bewildered by this sudden turn of events.

Sensing the change in atmosphere, she tugged at Huansheng’s arm, advising, “Huansheng, stop fooling around! This is the Heavenly Mandate Army, not Huansheng’s Army!”

Huansheng, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, glared and retorted, “Are you mocking me? Am I wrong?”
