Abyss Solo

The figure of Yang Ming appeared in the center of the screen.

The generals immediately stood up and saluted, only then realizing it was just the live broadcast of the united conference.

Emilia said, "Everyone, please be seated. Listen to the speech of Commander Yang Ming, and you will know what we need to do next."

"Yes!"

Emilia had already been alerted by Lyu that the Wind Alliance was not within the attack range of the Emperor Guard System;

However, she could not afford to show any joy at this moment, as the majority of human governments were now shrouded under the shadow of the Third Calamity.

Yang Ming's voice came through clearly, echoing in the meeting room, on the bridge of the East Wind, in every corner of Saka Star, and throughout the Milky Way.

"Everyone, I am the White Ghost, Yang Ming.

"The situation is now so critical that I can't afford to exchange any pleasantries. I must get straight to the point and explain to you the only path to victory.

"I broadcast this conference live not to increase my own prestige, to be honest, I don't need it, and I don't have to spend efforts on that. I have various ways to enhance my reputation.

"I killed Levi."

Yang Ming paused, his gaze sweeping across the room.

Most of the projections in the venue portrayed aged faces, yet few could meet his gaze directly.

Yang Ming continued:

"The specifics I have briefly explained to you in previous releases of information.

"The order and weapon to kill Levi came from the high-dimensional civilization controlling the Milky Way; the intention of the high-dimensional civilization was to correct the abnormal civilizational ecology of the Sherman Empire. The current rampant retaliation of the Emperor Guard System was a foregone conclusion yet ignored by the high-dimensional civilization.

"I can't say much about the inevitability behind this calamity because I will soon need to ascend in status as an anti-insect warrior and move to the high-dimensional world, and I can't offend them too much.

"But now, I have to tell you, the Emperor Guard System indeed intends to destroy most human civilizations to accompany Levi in death."

A buzzing sound of discussion arose below.

Yang Ming raised his right hand, which was behind his back, and pressed it slightly downward, instantly silencing the venue.

"You can question the authenticity of my words, but you can look at the plight of the New Federation... The New Federation is the first target attacked because the Emperor Guard System despises the New Federation the most.

"In the following twenty-four Galactic Time units, the battle groups controlled by the Emperor Guard System will depart one after another. The tragedy that occurred in the New Federation will be indiscriminately re-enacted in various governments.

"I did not convene this meeting for the so-called dominant position of human civilization in the Milky Way; therefore, I will not establish any power structures.

"That is just trivial matters of trivial people.

"I will only tell you what should be done, what needs to be done, how to do it, and then I will go and do what I need to do.

"Please look, this is the marching direction of Levi's destructive fleet, and the predicted jumping point, battle duration, and if anyone wants to make corrections, you have fifteen minutes to do so, starting now."

Discussion resumed below.

After the Emperor Guard System began to act, most governments conducted relevant deductions, many of which were similar to those done by Lyu this time.

Some annotations appeared on the projection screen, which soon received corresponding explanations.

Although it was supposed to be fifteen minutes, the whole process of modification, annotation, explanation, and correction took half a Galactic Time unit.

This was already considered extremely efficient.

A consensus was reached, and the result of this consensus was the original deduction map provided by Yang Ming.

"You should have already come to a conclusion."

Standing for half a Galactic Time unit, Yang Ming spoke again:

"If we do nothing, if we each fight on our own, at least six hundred billion humans will die, and over a hundred small- and medium-sized governments will vanish. Among the top fifty in the comprehensive strength of the Milky Way, except for my Wind Alliance, all of you will be severely hit.

"Yes, the Wind Alliance was singled out by the Emperor Guard System because it has no confidence in breaking through my fleet, which is the mysterious fleet that appeared in the previous Sherman and Luofeng War.

"The Emperor Guard System just wants to obliterate more humans, so it chose to avoid direct confrontation with me.

"To save time, and to let you reach a further consensus, I will reveal my biggest secret here... After all, I am about to ascend in status, telling you won't affect me in any way.

"The reason Levi rose rapidly back then was that he discovered an ancient site and obtained the ancient technology provided by that ancient site, which is beyond your imagination, and the logic of technology at this ancient site is a mechanical civilization.

"The Imperial Defense System, named Li, 'ideal reason,' is a mechanical thought body accompanying Levi, meaning it must act according to Levi's commands. Later Levi imprisoned Li to complete his ascension.

"The reason the Empire has existed for tens of thousands of years is because of the existence of Li. After Li was imprisoned, it became the Emperor Guard System, which is now the root cause of the Third Calamity."

"It is a Divine-level life form. If its core upgrades again, it will have the possibility to lead its Third Calamity Army to ascend in status.

"Now I can openly tell you, I have such a Divine-level life form as well."

"Why can I, the White Ghost, break through the Empire's network blockade, why can I guide public opinion in the Empire and the entire Milky Way human society, it's all because of my comrade, my partner, my other half-brain, my most trusted and reliable mate, the second officer on my ship—Lyu, the 'law of order.'

Yang Ming extended his right hand backward.

Lyu, in an elegant strapless evening gown, stepped behind Yang Ming, nodded slightly to the audience, then just gazed at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming said:

"My Lyu, is the key force in the forthcoming confrontation against Levi's Li.

"The reason I disclosed my secret is just to save some lives, and the reason I invited Lyu to the stage is merely to let you know, I don't care what you think of me, I have the strength to become the second Levi.

"It's just that now I have a higher goal, as Levi strived to ascend before, I also want to see the high-dimensional world.

"Next, I will first announce three principles, two rules, and our subsequent combat plan.

"Do you want to test what my Lyu is capable of? Sure, Lyu, within a minute, send evidence of illegal activities to each participant's communication tools, be careful not to mix them up."

"Yes, Master."

Lyu's voice was very gentle, and the faces of the participating politicians turned dark one by one.

Yang Ming squinted and smiled, waiting another two minutes.

The purpose of this united meeting was purely to save more lives. If he could save a hundred million, he'd save a hundred million, better yet, saving a few hundred billion.

As for what means to use, what infamy he would bear afterward, to what extent would these old things malign him;

He couldn't care less.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Yang Ming asked, "Can I now talk about my three principles, two rules, and one plan?"

Ninety percent of the projections below nodded in unison.

Agreement reached.
