Chapter 97: A Dire Situation
Chapter 97: A Dire Situation
Dona was on the verge of a breakdown.
Earlier, she had been excited because, according to the Saint Silver Federation's Emergency Evacuation Act, she could end her mission and return to the Saint Silver Secret Court. Not only that, but she would receive the full reward for the mission. She could even take a ride in a dedicated ship provided by Saint Song to circle around the Dark Energy Rebels' territory, which would be a great story to share with her friends!
However, she never expected Saint Song to issue a strict order, forbidding her and her brother from leaving Earth!
Saint Song's exact words were—unless given permission, they were not to leave without authorization.
This order was like a thunderbolt to her! It was as if a regular person was trapped in a building, knowing it would collapse in half an hour, but was locked in a room with no way out.
Her strength was only at the Sixth Rank!
How could she face the ruthless Dark Energy Rebels with such weak power? And given her Saint Silver heritage, the rebels would surely prioritize her for elimination!
Thus, Dona and her brother, Link, were both stunned, unsure of what to do.
Link had just opened a portal to return to his residence, hoping to contact the school's leadership to see if there was any way to change Saint Song's mind. Meanwhile, Dona was mentally cursing Saint Song a thousand, ten thousand times.
"No wonder there are so many rebel organizations in two star systems. If you keep treating me like this, I might just join them in a few years!" Dona's resentment soared to the heavens.
...
Su Yu was unaware of Dona's thoughts.
He assumed that Dona and Link genuinely loved their civilization and were reacting this way because of the crisis their people faced. He admired them deeply for it.
After Dona spoke, Su Yu memorized every word she said and spent some time organizing and analyzing the information.
This information was crucial! It was essential for them to deal with their future enemies.
After committing the information to memory, Su Yu asked, "Dona, you mentioned that Saint Song would send a Planetary or even a Stellar-level being to handle this. Did the message from Saint Song mention this individual?"
"No, it didn't," Dona replied after a moment's thought.
She continued, "Saint Song's message said that the five major rebel organizations have recently emerged in 436 peripheral civilizations. Since the overall movements of the enemy are still unclear, Saint Song hasn't finalized the personnel arrangements yet.
However, rest assured, I'll inform you as soon as Saint Song decides to send a Planetary-level expert... I can't leave Earth anytime soon anyway."
Dona's last words were filled with resentment towards Saint Song, so much so that Su Yu could tell she was deeply dissatisfied.
However, Su Yu didn't probe further on this issue. He quickly replied, "Thank you, Dona! I appreciate it."
"You're welcome."
Dona thought for a moment, then took out a new electronic terminal from her spatial storage device. She connected the new terminal to her old one and transferred several files with a few taps.
Once the transfer was complete, she unplugged the data cable and tossed the new terminal to Su Yu. "Here, Su Yu. This contains detailed information about the Dark Energy Rebels, which Saint Song just sent over.
The terminal has a built-in translation function. Hand it over to your Blue Planet's AI system, and it will quickly translate the content into your language."
"Thank you, Dona!" Su Yu thanked her again and quickly caught the terminal. This was exactly what they needed right now.
"Go ahead and return. We'll stay in touch if anything comes up!" Dona waved goodbye to Su Yu and then turned to walk back to her bedroom without looking back.
Saint Song's order had hit her hard, and she needed a good sleep to escape reality. Besides, Saint Song couldn't control her while she was asleep.
...
Leaving Dona's residence, Su Yu immediately opened a portal and teleported to the headquarters of the United Government in Yan Mountain.
Upon arrival, he contacted the AI Blue Whale, sharing all the information he had gathered from Dona and handing over the electronic terminal.
Blue Whale immediately recorded the information and began translating the content on the terminal.
Su Yu also instructed, "Blue Whale, contact President Hu, Commissioner Zhang, General Zhong, and Elder Yang. We need to hold an emergency high-level meeting immediately!"
"Understood. I'll notify them right away."
AI Blue Whale knew the urgency of the situation and quickly relayed the message to everyone Su Yu had designated.
Chairman Hu Jing, Commissar Zhang, Zhong Feng, and the venerable Yang Jian, along with Su Yu, formed the core decision-making circle of the entire Blue Star. Of course, the core circle had two additional members: Chancellor Cao and the First Emperor, who were still stranded on the Skrull planet. Since they couldn't return for the moment, Chairman Hu Jing, Su Yu, and the others had to make the decisions quickly.
...
Soon, Chairman Hu Jing and the other three received the message from AI Blue Whale. Chairman Hu Jing was somewhat prepared, as he already knew about the Dark Energy Rebellion, making it easier for him to accept the new intelligence. However, Commissar Zhang, Zhong Feng, and the venerable Yang Jian were a different story. They didn't even know the origin of Cecilia, and now, receiving all this information at once, it felt like they were reading a science fiction novel.
Cecilia was actually from a galaxy-level rebellion? And this rebellion was ranked third in the entire Silver Saint Civilization? Not only that, but the five major rebellions were now making major moves, and they had the backing of other extragalactic civilizations?
Upon learning this, they were all stunned, their eyes wide and mouths agape. This was far more unexpected than they could have imagined! They never thought Cecilia's actions were a microcosm of a galaxy-level civilization conflict!
The Milky Way and the Silver Saint Galaxy combined had five hundred billion stars. If an extragalactic civilization dared to interfere in the affairs of the Silver Saint Civilization, it must be a formidable force. The friction between these two behemoths would be spectacular, and the war could escalate to the point where thousands of stars might shatter. In that moment, everyone felt incredibly insignificant.
However, they didn't waste any time and quickly responded to Su Yu's call, gathering at the headquarters of the United Government.
...
Ten minutes later, in Chairman Hu Jing's office, the top-level meeting of Blue Star officially began.
Commissar Zhang, who was already at the United Government headquarters, rushed over as quickly as possible. The venerable Yang Jian and Zhong Feng were still at the Kosiakas Spring, but Su Yu used a portal to bring them over. Although long-distance teleportation drained a significant amount of his magic, he couldn't afford to hesitate at this critical moment.
...
With everyone present, the meeting officially began. In the office, Chairman Hu Jing stood in front of his desk, his expression grave. He was standing because the situation was too serious for him to sit down. Su Yu, Commissar Zhang, Zhong Feng, and the venerable Yang Jian stood in a line in front of him, their faces equally serious.
AI Blue Whale opened the projection screen on the east wall of the office, where a barrage of information was scrolling. It was translating and summarizing the extensive data on the Dark Energy Rebellion from the electronic terminal.
AI Blue Whale's translation speed was incredibly fast. If it were to translate a Chinese dictionary into English, it would take just a few milliseconds. However, the detailed information provided by the Chant about the Dark Energy Rebellion was overwhelmingly vast. The rebellion had existed for 60 million years, leaving behind an unimaginable amount of data. AI Blue Whale was still in the process of translating, summarizing, and extracting the most critical information for Su Yu and the others, which was taking a considerable amount of time.
...
"Since everyone is here, let's get down to business," Chairman Hu Jing said, looking at each person in the room, his voice heavy.
"Alright," Su Yu and the others responded, focusing their attention on Chairman Hu Jing.
Chairman Hu Jing paused and then continued, "I'm sure you all know that the 'Dark Energy Rebellion' is the mysterious third-party force hiding in the shadows. They were the ones who instigated the conflict with the Skrull planet."
Commissar Zhang nodded. "Yes, we've known for a while that this third-party force was significant, but we never imagined it was a galaxy-level rebellion! And it seems they have a planetary-level entity targeting us!"
The venerable Yang Jian stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes. "And it's not just that. The 'Dark Energy Rebellion' has the backing of other galaxy-level civilizations! In a war of this scale, we on Blue Star wouldn't even count as cannon fodder!"
Fortunately, the Hymn hasn't abandoned us. It's highly likely that they will send a Star-level entity to assist us, which is a stroke of luck in our dire situation."
"I hope they send a powerful one," Zhang Zhenwei said. "If a particularly powerful entity can subdue the Dark Energy Rebels and prevent them from invading Blue Star, that would be the best-case scenario."
"Yes, I also hope they send a powerful one," Hu Jing, the Chairman, nodded.
At the same time, Hu Jing turned to Su Yu, who had been silent, and asked, "Su Yu, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
Upon hearing the Chairman's question, the other three also turned their attention to Su Yu.
Without a doubt, Su Yu was the one who had the most comprehensive understanding of the entire situation, and his opinion was crucial.
So everyone looked at Su Yu, eager to hear his thoughts.
Su Yu's furrowed brow relaxed slightly.
He turned to face everyone present and said in a solemn voice, "Everyone, the situation is now clear. We are about to engage in a major conflict with the Skrulls, and the 'Dark Energy Rebels' are also stirring in the shadows.
From reliable intelligence, we know that a Star-level entity is definitely targeting us. However, the Hymn will also send a Star-level entity or higher to assist us.
My suggestion is that we first thoroughly research the strength of the Dark Energy Rebels. We need to determine how many powerful entities they have sent to invade Blue Star. To do this, we must start with the information provided by the Hymn.
Secondly, we must also share this information with the Skrulls. The Dark Energy Rebels aim to destroy not just Blue Star, but both of our worlds.
Faced with such a formidable enemy, perhaps it’s best for us to stop our conflicts and unite against them.
I propose that we first study the information on the Dark Energy Rebels, and I will personally visit the Skrull base to deliver the data and an overview of the current situation."
"Do you want me to go with you?" the elder Yang Jian asked.
"No, I can go alone," Su Yu managed a smile. "I can move faster alone, and it won't cause too much of a reaction from the Skrulls. If we both go, they might think we are planning an attack on the Psychic Spring and strengthen their defenses, which would be counterproductive."
"Alright," the elder Yang Jian nodded in agreement.
Hu Jing, the Chairman, said, "Then let’s start studying the 'Dark Energy Rebels' now. However, everyone must remember to keep this matter confidential. We cannot let it leak out, or it will cause unimaginable panic!"
"Understood," everyone responded, turning their attention to the projection screen on the eastern wall.
Currently, the AI Blue Whale's translation progress has reached 53%, and it has compiled a lot of key information during the process.
It displayed these pieces of information on the projection screen.
...
According to the information, the current Chief Commander of the Dark Energy Rebels is named Lemond Kryanshock, a standard Stellar-level entity.
Although the entire Holy Silver civilization is a psychic energy-based civilization with a strong cultivation atmosphere, Stellar-level entities and above are still quite rare.
According to the information provided by the Hymn, there are only around 5,000 registered and traceable Stellar-level entities, and Lemond Kryanshock is one of them.
65 million years ago, the Dark Energy Rebels organization came into being.
The core tenet of this organization is to destroy civilizations and slaughter life. They derive great pleasure from the despair and fear of weaker civilizations when they are utterly destroyed.
Initially, this rebel organization was very small, comparable in scale to ordinary space pirates, and it didn't cause any significant concern for the Hymn.
The creatures that joined this rebel organization could be described as "psychopaths." Only psychopaths would join such an organization, and those who chose to rebel for profit more often joined the "Glorious Rebels" instead, as no one wanted to align with a group of psychopaths.
However, the Dark Energy Rebels gradually grew stronger, and a significant reason for this was that the Holy Silver Federation was too peaceful!
Under the management of the Hymn, the internal conflicts and wars within the Federation were drastically reduced, and the frequency of disputes among cultivators was significantly lowered.
Before the Hymn was born, "killing for treasure" was a common occurrence in the cultivation world, something everyone took for granted.
But after the Hymn was born, under its constraints, the frequency of disputes among cultivators dropped to about one in ten thousand, leading to an unprecedented peace in the cultivation world.
