"That's right, I just contacted the Emperor of Gemini, and the knowledge related to faith on this planet is likely more important than we anticipated."

"First, triple the number of people for me, and feel free to request any resources you need."

"And everything needs to be reported directly to me."

"I need you to go all out in gathering all cultivation methods related to faith from this civilization, as well as all studies related to faith."

"Additionally, you have the authority to interfere with all war matters in the early stages; I need you to gather enough intelligence before the Gemini Civilization intervenes."

"Understood!"

Upon hearing Bai Yi's words, Lunning realized Bai Yi's emphasis on the matter and nodded heavily before his consciousness projection vanished from the network.

"Whew... the investments here should be sufficient for now."

"It seems the Emperor doesn't want to make things bigger, which is good news for me, allowing for greater operational flexibility."

"However, the most crucial task now is to deal with that President and the Great Mage who might be supporting him."

"Otherwise, letting these two hidden threats of 8th Rank linger is not a viable option."

"Now that the Gemini Civilization is willing to cooperate more, I also need to get things moving..."

After all, the entire plan is centered around her; ever since discovering that civilization and personally gathering intelligence to report to the Emperor, she's never had the chance to deploy her fleet.

With the plan now confirmed, Bai Yi must start arranging for the upcoming "trap."

Consciousness detaches from the network, and the virtual projection within the network simultaneously dissipates.

The warship, initially silent in the forward base, suddenly begins to activate.

......

Meanwhile, within a certain area of the New Star Zone, in the fleet of the Martial Cultivation Association

"Teacher, according to your plan, it's already completed."

"Not long ago, Lord Fan Mao discovered that civilization."

In the projection cast by the crystal ball, a young female mage slightly bows, speaking respectfully.

On the other side of the communication, the Great Mage addressed as teacher nods in satisfaction.

The young mage projected by the crystal ball is his dispatched student, a Mage who has reached the Seventh Rank and excels at Space Spells.

Half a month ago, upon entering the New Star Zone, the student had been secretly sent to the Star Region Fan Mao planned to explore.

His student was to attempt contact with a native civilization with suitable power, making them a threat to Fan Mao, thus providing him and Martial Cultivation Association President a reason to support.

A few days ago, the student reported finding a suitable civilization and was attempting arrangements.

Now, days later, the student contacts him again, bringing this good news.

"What is the situation with that civilization? Did you arrange everything with the items I gave you?"

"Well..."

Upon hearing this question, the female student appears hesitant and a bit at a loss.

Noticing his student's difficult expression, the Great Mage quickly asks, suspecting something unforeseen:

"What's the matter? Did something unexpected happen with that civilization?"

"Are they too formidable, causing complete disregard, or does their strength surpass normal standards?"

The Great Mage immediately considers several scenarios.

Originally, he prepared plenty of advanced magic creations and mechanical technologies for the student to take, supporting native civilizations when necessary, enabling them to unleash greater strength in resistance.

This step was necessary to ensure that Martial Cultivation Association President Hunter would inevitably be called there.

Based on his estimation of Fan Mao's strength, the Paradise Contractor who seems not widely recognized in the Starry Sky might harbor considerable power; typical civilizations might not pose a threat.

He couldn't strengthen extraordinary power but could offer some technology, enhancing the scientific aspect of strength.

Judging by his student's performance now, it's apparent there was an issue with this step.

"No, it's nothing like that..."

"It's just that the civilization is somewhat... peculiar."

After organizing her thoughts, the female student explains hesitantly:

"This civilization seems to be primarily based on extraordinary power, strong in such power, and possesses more than one 8th Rank powerhouse."

"But due to my limited strength, I couldn't ascertain the specifics of the extraordinary system and was nearly discovered by one of them..."

"Based on my observation, I can only confirm this extraordinary system seemingly resembles that of God believers."

"However, compared to their formidable extraordinary power, their technological development is virtually null!"

"The civilization remains in a very ancient city-state era, and so does their technological level."

"After interacting with them, I tried introducing your technology and materials along with Fan Mao's intelligence, but they couldn't comprehend any of it..."

"They've already initiated interstellar colonization, and I planned to provide them a better transition technology, yet they couldn't comprehend it at all!"

"Even..."

"Even your magical creations are beyond their capability to use!"

The female student speaks with slight frustration, almost understanding the feeling when her teacher calls them foolish.

If she could, she would have berated the civilization right there.
