Yet no one could have expected that Jia Yan would slap that Galaxy Absolute’s face in an instant.

He actually advanced to a Galaxy Level right near the Country of Taia, and right after his advancement—or rather, while he was still in the process of advancing—he clashed with the four Galaxy Levels who had chased him all the way to Taia, triggering a massive slaughter. Then Jia Yan, who had just reached Galaxy Level, actually killed his archenemy on the spot—that same "assassin" he’d fought once before. Rumor had it he didn’t even need many moves to win.

This time, not only was the Empire shaken to its core the moment the news reached them, even that so‑called protector behind the Empire lost the ability to speak for a moment. After that, the other side simply had no intention of talking with the Empire anymore, not a single scrap of information came through. Even when the Empire used several extremely advanced Tripartite Communication methods and top‑tier channels, they still got nothing back.

It was obvious: that Galaxy Level existence either found the whole thing too humiliating and didn’t want to contact the Empire anymore, or he was scared of Jia Yan. After all, Jia Yan was now an existence that could wipe out Galaxy Levels. They didn’t know that Galaxy Level’s exact galactic-level Strength, but as long as he was a River Among the Stars Early Stage, facing Jia Yan, he absolutely had zero chance of winning.

So the Empire roughly figured out what that Galaxy Level Adult behind them meant to do—of course he was running away overnight.

What else could he do but flee? This Evolutionary Creature Giant Mosquito actually scared even their backer so badly he didn’t dare keep in touch with them. If they didn’t run now, they were basically asking to die.

It wasn’t long before the soldiers and civilians of the Orion Arm in this region finally realized, belatedly, what had happened.

After that, massive numbers of Orion Arm Soldiers and fleets slowly entered the Biochemical Star Region.

In fact, that other half of the Biochemical Star Region, though it looked like it had only recently split from the half under Orion Arm rule, had actually been separated for over ten years when you counted by years. In those ten‑plus years, the Empire had, in every sense, completely taken control of that half of the Biochemical Star Region—so much so that they had wiped out most of the population inside.

So when the Orion Arm Fleet entered that half of the Biochemical Star Region, the scene they saw was almost completely different from the half under Orion Arm rule.

The previous prosperity and vast population had been almost completely destroyed.

Faced with this situation, those Biochemical Star Region Soldiers who had long since integrated into the Orion Arm Fleet, and even served as the backbone in the middle and lower echelons, were all grinding their teeth in rage.

Of course, the result left them equally depressed. After the collapse of the Empire and the takeover by the Orion Arm Army, when they took inventory of this half of the Biochemical Star Region, they discovered that the Empire had implemented a purge strategy here. So the number of survivors was pitifully small—almost everyone was dead.

"Damn Empire. Because most of the lives in our Biochemical Star Region appeared due to one of their Biochemists’ failed experiments, their hatred for us runs too deep. Now we see that after occupying our Biochemical Star Region, they really did slaughter us."

"Exactly, these are all our fellow countrymen. I was born in this Starry Sky back then. Now that I look at it, my hometown is gone. They actually blasted every planet into scrap, and treated the people of our Biochemical Star Region like this."

"By comparison, we can really see how good the Orion Arm is. They rule us now, but our lives aren’t any worse than before. Kids still go to school, adults still have jobs, there’s nothing bad about it."

"Right, we got this kind of life the hard way. In the future, don’t even think about rebelling against the Orion Arm. Just consider ourselves members of the Orion Arm—how great is that? With Mosquito Patriarch Senior watching over us, our future is definitely going to get better and better."

With that contrast in front of them, the outcome was obvious for the surviving natives of the Biochemical Star Region. The residents of this half of the Biochemical Star Region, once they realized they had almost ended up just like their compatriots—dead to the last—were all scared out of their wits, and their sense of identification with the Orion Arm grew even stronger.

After all, many of those who had surrendered from the Biochemical Star Region still had very strong memories of their old Biochemical Star Region, and had always wanted to someday restore their own rule. But now, after seeing the Empire’s brutality, they instinctively accepted the Orion Arm. It had to be said, the Empire had really done the Orion Arm a huge, heaven‑sent favor.

And by gaining this half of the Biochemical Star Region with its smaller population, the Orion Arm instantly expanded its territory by a huge area.

As a result, the Orion Arm’s fame grew, and behind them stood that Evolutionary Creature "Jia Yan," whose name was now rising rapidly in the Starry Sky, making the hearts of many Galaxy Levels pound with fear. Countless Starfields and forces now filed the Orion Arm under the label of "cannot be provoked."

At this rate, the Orion Arm’s bright future was right around the corner. It might not be long before the entire Orion Arm became a dazzlingly prosperous place.

This was the reaction in some surrounding Starfields and Galaxies to Jia Yan’s advancement to Galaxy Level this time, and his simultaneous battle against Galaxy level bosses—against four Galaxy level bosses—and his unprecedented victory.

Many Galaxy Levels felt that this newly promoted Galaxy Level Jia Yan was different from ordinary Nebula Levels. Some Galaxy Levels even went and looked up the so‑called "Evolutionary Creature," and the search results left them dumbfounded.

"These Evolutionary Creatures are terrifying to the extreme."

"Hmm? Why were all previous Evolutionary Creatures hunted down and killed by other Galaxy Levels once they reached Galaxy Level? Are we also going to clash with Evolutionary Creatures in the future?"

"Could it be that the Evolutionary Creature race is born as a brutal, slaughter‑crazed Species? But judging from Jia Yan’s performance now, he doesn’t seem that cruel. He doesn’t look any more ruthless than many Galaxy Levels. So why did so many Galaxy Levels end up besieging and killing these Evolutionary Creatures?"

Many Galaxy Level existences possessed certain historical records, but there was far too little information about Evolutionary Creatures. The last powerful Evolutionary Creatures had appeared over two hundred thousand years ago. For most Civilizations and forces, that was simply too long ago.

However, among so many forces, there were always one or two whose Starfields were as ancient as that Assassin Starfield of the assassin, and who had had deep dealings with Evolutionary Creatures.

"Hmm? It says that if you eat an Evolutionary Creature, or refine certain parts of an Evolutionary Creature’s body, you can create something that lets even Galaxy Level Powerhouses take a step further..."

"It’s even saying this stuff is insanely powerful. An ordinary Star River Level Initial Stage existence, even one that’s been stuck at the Early stage for ages, has a ninety percent chance of reaching Star River Middle Stage. And even a Middle-stage galaxy level has a certain chance to break through to Territory Master!?"

"Th‑this is insane. Clearly there must be other ancient forces who have these same materials. We need to contact similar ancient existences. As for the other forces, we absolutely can’t let this golden news reach them. As for that Jia Yan? His strength isn’t enough to deal with too many Galaxy Levels. And we’re Big Star Field Strong Ones whose foundations even surpass that Assassin Starfield. Against a freshly promoted Galaxy Level, how could we possibly fail?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Within various Starfields, those ancient Families dug out the true secrets about Evolutionary Creatures, and at the same time understood why every time an Evolutionary Creature appeared, so many Strong Ones went to besiege it.

Some Strong Ones even guessed that the Orion Arm, so weak yet occupying such a vast territory, couldn’t have held on with just the protection of that deceased Evolutionary Creature’s last will, the one named Tian Ji. If some Galaxy Level truly wanted that territory, how could a dead Evolutionary Creature possibly stop them?

They must be planning to raise another Evolutionary Creature there...
