Soul of Negary

Volume 6 Chapter 35: Celestial - Desolate war (3)

“As truth has it, the information regarding the Eastern River’s fortress was indeed false” under a tree as large as a heavenly pillar, the upper brass of the Celestials were exchanging their information.

“There were other spies, but all of them had sent in false information as well. Our information network has practically been paralyzed, the Desolates have evidently found a method to deal with our information source”

“In other words, we don’t know where they will attack from at all”

With a wave of a leaf, a sand table appeared in front of everyone, which clearly depicted the Celestials’ territory as well as over ten areas marked out as vulnerable to attacks.

“The Destiny Variation Machine also couldn’t simulate any results. The Grand Shamans on the other side have performed a Cede curse to prevent our reading of the information sea” the vice-director of the technology department, Yun Yi also reported while scowling.

The Destiny Variation Machine was the product of one of their researches during these past years, which could derive the information available within the Ancestral Wild using machinery and simulate them to predict almost any outcome.

“The competition between Lord Negary and the Desolate spirit for the world’s authority has reached its most critical point, he wouldn’t be able to provide us any further support, but the Desolate spirit would also be the same” Noah looked up, using the giant tree behind him, his eyes could see through the nature of the world.

Under the world’s seemingly peaceful atmosphere, the madly shifting nature of the world, at a place that no living being could witness, countless struggles for authorities continuously began and concluded. Even the blooming or withering of a flower was related to their competition.

The representation of this in the normal aspect of the world was the war between the Desolates and Celestials. Neither of these consciousnesses interfered when it came to this, as not getting involved was far better for them compared to getting involved.

“Of course, it wasn’t as if we hadn’t obtained anything…” Noah glanced at Killer J who was adjusting himself and Yun Rong who sat with him, “We’ve obtained some crucial information”

“Youngster, do you see that polite glasses-wearing scoundrel?” Killer J kept a tight grip on Yun Rong’s shoulder and pointed at Yun Yi, whispering to him: “Both of you have the surname Yun. Your master has raised you up using even his poop and piss, but I won’t ask you for anything, as long as you can make that brat seem lower, you will have not wasted my meticulous efforts in nurturing you”

“Yun Rong is only my alias, so I don’t actually have the Yun surname, feeding people poop and piss will kill them, and I’ve only just known you for less than a year, and only became your disciple without knowing why 3 days ago, how the hell could you have meticulously spent any efforts!” Yun Rong felt like he was retorting more than he had ever done before in his entire life for the past few days.

In front of Killer J, Yun Rong seemed to be forever stuck in a retorting role, but this really couldn’t be helped, all of Killer J’s actions aroused everyone’s desire to retort him way too much.

“Alright, let us ignore those two” with a wave of Noah’s hand, a tree branch slightly moved and literally put the Killer J pair of retorter and retorted out of everyone’s vision.

This gigantic tree was originally a branch of the World Tree. After being nurtured by the Celestials’ department of technology for a while, it was now starting to show its usefulness. If nothing else, its roots had already reached deep into the world and spread out over half of the Celestials’ territory.

As long as they were within the range of the roots, through varying levels of authority, a Celestial could communicate through the World Tree, transfer images, and even a small group of people.

Within this network created by the World Tree’s roots, there was even an entertainment venue for the Celestials that had the ability to simulate reality. Some Celestials who had gone through an extended period under stress would be able to use this function to relax themselves a bit.

After all, the Celestials were still only people who walked the path of eternal peace, they hadn’t actually reached the Land of Eternal Peace. Not everyone could be like Negary, so they needed some entertainment to relax, and even Negary had his little game of catching Killer J.

“And so, I have a proposal. Regardless of where the Desolates might attack from, we Celestials should gather our troops towards the Eastern River’s fortress and initiate an attack into the Desolates’ territory”

“If they truly are attacking from the Eastern River’s fortress, then we aren’t afraid of a direct confrontation; but if they’re attempting to attack our territory from another direction, we will give up on defense and focus our power on attacking the Desolates’ territory to take it over”

Noah’s gaze turned to the sand table: “The following reasons can support this strategy”

“Firstly, we Celestials are no longer reliant on Ancestral Altars”

“A male and female Celestial can perform a joint offering to obtain a Vitality Root Fetus of their own, but the Desolates cannot. They still require an altar to perform an offering at, to obtain new Vitality Root Fetuses”

“This means that they have a huge natural requirement for territory, new altars aren’t so easily created, while most of the Ancestral Altars within our Celestials’ territory have already been disassembled to be used as raw resources”

“Secondly, the core technology that we Celestials have, a lot of our foundational structures can be rapidly constructed as long as there are resources. Although Lord Negary has managed to retrieve the authorities during these past years, it is still undeniable that they have an abundance of resources compared to us. After switching our territories, our development would surely be faster than theirs”

“Thirdly, due to our limited resources, we Celestials have always emphasized raising elites. Our total number is barely 1/5th that of the Desolates’, which makes us more flexible in switching territories”

“Fourthly, the branch of the world tree has taken up root in our territory, which is under my complete control. Even after switching territories, we would be able to leave a group behind to take advantage of the World Tree network and our underground tunnels to sabotage the enemy from the inside”

“Fifthly, this way, we will have the initiative!”

“Let’s now vote, who agrees with my proposal?” Noah slowly spoke as his gaze passed through the many excited Celestials participating in the meeting.

In reality, the first four points weren’t important at all, but the fifth point was extremely crucial. They could naturally send experts out to investigate the Desolates’ information and establish a complete defense plan, or continue to stall until Negary had the absolute advantage in the authority competition, or even use the advantage of the World Tree to stop the Desolates’ advances and stabilize the situation.

But they would prefer to take the initiative and strike first rather than passively wait for the Desolates to attack. They would not underestimate the Desolates, but they, the Celestials, were a race that surpassed the Desolate, they were confident that they should be the side that took the offensive stance!

“Sure enough, all of our tactics have been completely flipped around” Killer J said as he looked at Noah from afar: “These guys who play with strategy all have black hearts, I will definitely never play with strategy”

…

After determining the direction of their race as a whole, the Celestials’ elite discipline immediately began to show itself. With the policy to militarize all aspects of their species, they swiftly collected their belongings, organized themselves into groups, and began marching towards the Eastern River fortress.

The few spies who were implanted among the Celestials were also singled out and removed. If the Desolates were able to counteract the Celestials’ intel network, there was no reason for the Celestials to be unable to do the same after spending some effort.

Most of the spies were swiftly weeded out, and even the few who remained would find it difficult to obtain the full extent of the information through their physical encryption, and even if they could, thanks to the World Tree’s anti-prophecy and anti-communication technology, it was impossible for them to send that information back to the Desolates in time.

In this manner, the Celestials race as a whole organized themselves into six legions that all began marching towards the Eastern River fortress. This was the border between the two races’ territories, which made it suitable for an army to move through.
