If the dimensional ascension still existed, they would have returned directly.

On the other side, the military high command, having received the news, began holding a meeting.

ফিলিস (filis) sat at a side seat, with three other Level 3 Ship Secretaries beside him, and the interim Governor Vaninyi at the head.

“I didn’t expect him to actually succeed.”

“Indeed, new minds are more effective. How could old folks like us ever come up with such good ideas?”

“Dimensional ascension weapons have only been used in a very few places, and they’re not standard fleet equipment, so it’s normal that we didn’t think of it.”

“Cough!!”

Vaninyi coughed, and the discussions ceased.

“The most important thing now is to find out exactly what those eggs are.”

“I’ve already reported to the Federation, and they should respond very soon, sending scholars.”

They didn’t have many biology scholars here.

ফিলিস (filis) mused, “I think we need to retreat at least 10,000 astronomical units.”

“The Federation has fought many Civilizations, not just Unknown Civilizations like us, but also many lower-level Civilizations.”

“But never has there been one that developed biology. The military also doesn’t have biology scholars, so we lack experience and means to deal with biological enemies.”

The Federation also highly valued biology.

However, the Federation’s biology was still merely an auxiliary to technology.

At least from the information Qu Minggui sent back, there was no obvious technology-related stuff visible there.

This was a path the Federation hadn’t even embarked on.

“It might just be a bluff.”

“Using these to scare us; from what we can see currently, if those organisms themselves aren’t strong, then that Civilization’s investment might not be too great.”

Another Level 3 Ship Secretary beside him said.

His name was Shandorf.

Here, apart from ফিলিস (filis), the other three Level 3 Ship Secretaries, including Vaninyi, were veterans of the military.

They weren't even old enough to have served during the Destiny Ring Star war; they could only be considered military veterans from peacetime.

Vaninyi felt Shandorf had a point.

However, caution was still necessary.

He knew the people here liked to stick their heads in, so he said, “Even so, it could be the real deal. Let the higher-ups make the final decision.”

All the Level 3 Ship Secretaries, including ফিলিস (filis), nodded.

Actually, it wasn’t that they were true cowards.

It was just that since the All-Out War era began, both the bureaucracy and their military had seen a large number of people fall and be replaced by newcomers.

These people didn’t want to be caught by various parties.

After all, many people were eyeing their positions.

Everything required caution.

Even a newcomer like ফিলিস (filis) had to be on edge; once deemed unsuitable for the position, he would immediately be stripped of his duties.

“What about that troublesome kid?” ফিলিস (filis) asked.

The others also didn’t want to take responsibility and quickly said.

“Since he’s under your command, you can decide for yourself.”

“How can we interfere with your subordinates’ affairs?”

Vaninyi found it amusing; he was the most senior among them.

Previously, the guys in front of him would all stick their necks out and get red-faced, wanting to interfere with this and that, determined to find fault with their opponents. It was nothing like now, where everyone was harmonious, and everyone feared taking responsibility.

However, was this truly good?

“No matter what, he entered the Green Hell and obtained intelligence.”

“A reward is still necessary.”

Vaninyi made the final decision.

Actually, this meeting was as good as not held; everyone was just going through the motions, as if they were working hard.

ফিলিস (filis) also knew that everyone wanted to leave empty-handed, so he didn't discuss anything further. As soon as Vaninyi adjourned the meeting, he exited the virtual conference room.

Iveni saw ফিলিস (filis) open his eyes and asked, “How was the meeting?”

“Same as always.”

“I wonder when this restraint can be lifted. They say it’s an All-Out War era, making everyone a soldier, but in reality, everyone has become a turtle.”

Iveni, however, thought this wasn't bad.

“If it were like before, with your personality, you’d probably either be in jail or retired by now.”

“The higher-ups have their considerations.”

ফিলিস (filis) shook his head.

Of course, he knew the higher-ups had their considerations.

But he feared he wouldn’t live to see the day the higher-ups finished their considerations.

Even in the military, life expectancy was limited and couldn’t be wasted meaninglessly.

By now, ফিলিস (filis) somewhat missed the wars he fought when he was in the Eternal Reincarnation Star Kingdom.

“I wonder how the Eternal Reincarnation Star Kingdom is doing.”

After all, it was a place he had defended, and he certainly didn't want to see it destroyed just like that.

However, the Zerg were indeed powerful.

When ফিলিস (filis) left, the Eternal Reincarnation Star Kingdom had already had ten war zones breached and was increasingly unable to hold on.

The Zerg also suffered heavy casualties, but the bugs were still endless, capable of filling even the starry sky.

…

Zero Black Hole.

Ella Host.

Yan Xia had long known that the All-Out War era plan had caused some consequences.

However, there was inherently no perfect solution in the world.

This was only the early stage of the All-Out War era; later, the competition would become even fiercer, and by then, it would truly be based on ability, not on him and Ella appointing people to positions.

For a vast Federation, a reform, no matter how extensive, would still take tens of thousands of years.

“The Green Hell is a pile of eggs. Can those people send one back?”

Yan Xia learned about the Green Hell from Ella.

This matter also exceeded his expectations.

He was still passionate about biology and very curious about those eggs.

“It will probably take a lot of time. We haven’t yet mastered the characteristics of those eggs, and transferring them via wormhole and light might damage them.”

“If it’s an Unknown Civilization, then those organisms are definitely not elemental organisms, but creation organisms.”

“Elemental organisms” refers to organisms within the periodic table.

“Creation organisms” are relative, generally manufactured using creation particles.

Yan Xia also agreed that elemental organisms found it difficult to bear huge body sizes.

Genetic Sequence, and even the current Federation populace, are actually no longer considered elemental organisms.

Many genes, in essence, have also been modified by incorporating creation particles.

For example, the Federation human race’s powerlifting champion in the 800 kg class has a deadlift record exceeding 28,973 tons, under purely natural conditions.

If there are genetic modifications or mechanical implants, a 1-ton class deadlift record often exceeds hundreds of millions of tons.

In fact, less than one ten-thousandth of the former purely natural human race exists in the Federation, and the same applies to other human races; over 99% of the Federation populace has undergone genetic modification and mechanical implants, with pure strength exceeding millions of tons.

This is merely strength, not weapon power.

But this is still just the most basic state of “creation organisms.”

So-called weightlifting or powerlifting competitions are just entertainment competitions held among ordinary people.

True Explorers who have ascended to the stars are even more thoroughly modified, with some possessing terrifying pure strength.

A three-meter-tall individual might weigh tens of thousands of tons themselves, and the strength generated by internal machinery can easily produce millions of tons of TNT equivalent power with a single punch; hundreds of millions of tons equivalent is considered decent.

This is still without activating the mecha.

Activating the mecha, a single punch is enough to destroy all life on a planet’s surface, triggering an apocalypse.

It is precisely because the gap between elemental organisms and creation organisms is too vast that the Federation’s populace turned to creation organisms.

This is still just one person.

Some are dozens of meters tall, others dozens of centimeters.

What if it’s a creation organism the size of a dwarf planet? What if it’s the size of a planet?

It would probably be on the level of the Goddess of War.

“The information transmitted states there are at least hundreds of quintillions of them.”

“Although it didn’t lie, it still omitted its own speculation: only a very small portion of these organisms will truly survive.”

Yan Xia saw through the missing information in the report at a glance.

People of this era aren’t that foolish, so such an omission is impossible.

At least, such a basic part wouldn’t be overlooked.

He saw the signature.

“Qu Minggui… so it’s that kid.”

Yan Xia didn’t pay much attention to the various academies, but he would look at the top student each year.

Qu Minggui, as the top student of Morning Glow Academy, was naturally remembered by Yan Xia.

His experiences in the academy, even Yan Xia found legendary.

It wasn’t about being first and outshining everyone, but about other troublesome things.

Things like bullying, petty theft, and raging for a beauty—in short, he did all sorts of youthful and reckless things.

He even formed gangs in the academy, making Morning Glow Academy a mess.

Yan Xia found this kid quite interesting, but he thought that once he entered the military, he would probably lose some of that charm.

He didn’t expect him to still be interesting now.

“He’s a bit childish, thinking he should be peerless, the best in the world,” Ella said from the other side.

It monitors the Federation, even capable of monitoring everyone’s psychological activities.

For it, what Qu Minggui thought was crystal clear.

“Rare, to still have true fools.”

Yan Xia probably understood that this guy’s intelligence should be relatively low.

In this era, low intelligence doesn’t mean being mentally disabled; on the contrary, their intelligence far surpasses that of absolute geniuses like Einstein from the Earth era.

It’s just that imperfect people are called fools.

Ru Chu, for example, was also a fool.

“However, in this special period, fools can actually thrive, while highly intelligent people are constrained.”

“It seems the Federation needs to unearth a bunch of fools to hold the fort.”

Yan Xia chuckled, not caring much.

“Fool” wasn’t a derogatory term in his mouth; in fact, the Federation truly lacked fools. Shrewd people always covered all bases and played both sides, but lacked some courage.
