Beyond the Timescape

The eastern theater of the Fifth Star Ring was very far away from Xu Qing, and it was currently very empty. Roughly seventy percent of the cultivator army had been ordered by the Immortal Paragon to invade the Fourth Star Ring for the final battle.

Those left behind were tasked with the important mission of maintaining planets that were designated as supply depots. There were many such planets stretching between the eastern theater and the Fourth Star Ring. Just about every other universe had at least one.

Their purpose was to provide supplies to the front lines and also offer healing services to injured members of the army. They were so full of immortal energy that they were almost like immortal towers. And they weren’t just on the side of the Fifth Star Ring. They extended through the various theaters all the way into the Fourth Star Ring.

The cultivator army pushed the front lines deeper and deeper into the Fourth Star Ring, and the supply depot planets went with them, going deeper and branching out as necessary. It made sense considering that the battlefield encompassed countless universes, and the cultivators’ goal was complete domination of enemy territory. Given that, it couldn’t be understated how important logistics were. And thus, these planets were like game pieces on a game board, which the cultivators put in place to stabilize the battlefield.

In the middle section of the Fifth Star Ring’s eastern theater, there was a supply depot planet that was pure yellow. It hung in space surrounded by rings of rubble, atop which many cultivators were stationed.

The planet’s surface was covered with mountain ranges and vast deserts filled with yellow sand, each grain of which could provide a baptism of immortal energy. There were many cultivators on the surface as well, all of them tasked with various duties relating to logistics.

This was a very important planet, as it was the very first supply depot planet that had been put into service at the beginning of the full-scale war. It was the starting point of the chain of supply depot planets that ultimately stretched into the Fourth Star Ring.

This planet also had a lot of teleportation portals. There were big ones and small ones, and they operated nonstop day and night, funneling massive amounts of supplies out of the Fifth Star Ring and to the front lines. That was the primary mission of this supply depot planet.

Because the planet was so important, the teleportation portals there were connected to subsequent supply depot planets. However, given the wartime situation, they only performed outgoing teleportations, and would not accept returning teleportations. Wounded cultivators had to abide by that arrangement, and could only seek treatment on other supply depot planets.

In order to ensure the defenses were as strong as possible, there was a huge contingent from the army stationed there, and Immortal Lord Deepgloom had even left a clone in charge. All such arrangements were to ensure that supplies could get to the front lines safely.

As countless cultivators hurried about their work, a strange rumbling suddenly filled the air and multi-colored light flowed through the dome of heaven.

Large numbers of cultivators shivered and sent their divine will out to check what was happening. The streams of divine will soon came to focus on the source of the strange phenomenon.
