Chapter 108: Hate Intensifies

In the forest, after more than two days,

Yi Chen finally finished his contemplation.

His understanding of the properties of spirit energy had reached the peak of his current level.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Bai Ruo Xin using a small knife to cut pieces of meat from a roasted rabbit leg, savoring each bite in a slow and deliberate manner.

What should have been a scene of hearty eating somehow turned into an elegant affair because of her.

Beside her, the usually detached Little Gold Ball sat nearby, munching on a piece of roasted meat with its small paws.

Next to them, there were bowls of bright orange juice, clearly made from wild fruits.

Their little life together was truly enjoyable.

“Give me some!”

Yi Chen, not hungry at all, found his appetite sparked.

At his current level, he could go months without eating or drinking with no problem.

“Sure!”

Bai Ruo Xin nodded.

She slowly took out a piece of paper to wipe the little grease stains from her fair, delicate hands.

Then, she retrieved a thorny fruit from the animal skin bag beside her.

The end of the thorny fruit was tied with a thin strip of yellow animal skin.

With a casual flick,

the thorny fruit shot into the sky with a whoosh.

It instantly pierced through the dense foliage, disappearing from sight.

Yi Chen glanced around and noticed the absence of a fire pit and a grill.

He understood immediately.

With a hint of annoyance, he said, “You really learned quickly in this area of enjoyment!”

“This is called saving time. As the leader of the Intelligence Organization, my time should be spent on important matters, not wasted on things like roasting meat,”

Bai Ruo Xin replied dismissively. “Just like you, would you waste time roasting meat with me around?”

Yi Chen realized he had no counterargument.

Soon, three members of the Spirit Release tribe hurried over.

They brought not only various grilled meats but also wild fruits and juices.

Yi Chen slightly satisfied his craving, then turned his attention back to studying how to use divine consciousness to draw upon and control spirit energy.

…

“Impressive—she goes against heaven and earth, even Yi Chen! It feels like she’s playing with fire!”

“Everyone says Bai Ruo Xin is unique among all the fake heavy criminals. But why do I feel like she’s getting a bit carried away?”

“It really seems that way. Right now, it feels like she’s betting everything on Yi Chen’s novelty lasting.”

In the live room, many viewers shook their heads quietly.

“Relying on novelty to gain the favor of a higher-up, whether they’re foolish or wise, is a petty approach.”

“Because eventually, the higher-up will lose interest and get tired, making it easier for someone to take their place.”

“Bai Ruo Xin is already the leader of the Intelligence Organization; she should fully focus on her duties there.”

“With great power, she should win trust through her capabilities. Even if one day, something causes Yi Chen to become furious, he will carefully weigh the pros and cons to decide whether to punish or dismiss her.”

“Given Yi Chen’s wisdom and strong sense of nostalgia, this kind of favor won’t easily be replaced, even if someone stronger appears, as long as they don’t make a big mistake.”

“Who knows what Bai Ruo Xin is thinking? Besides, her work with the Intelligence Organization seems fine, right?”

“Oh my gosh! Look at the military announcement; something big has happened.”

Suddenly, someone reminded the group in the live room.

This comment immediately grabbed many people’s attention, and they began checking the news or going directly to the military’s official website for the announcement.

All of humanity quickly fell into a rage.

Unlike the long-winded and tedious announcements from the council, military announcements are usually brief.

This one was no exception.

It contained only about a hundred words.

The content was a stern condemnation of the Angelic Beings sending assassins and infiltrators among humanity to attempt to assassinate Yi Chen and deliberately create border tensions.

The announcement also called on the public to actively enlist in the infantry to revitalize humanity’s military strength.

“Damn it, they actually dared to send someone to infiltrate the exile planet to assassinate Yi Chen? The Angelic Beings want to eliminate our hope for revival!”

“Do those traitors know what Yi Chen means to humanity?”

“There are all kinds of birds in the forest; the most important thing is that the council is simply useless. They allow the Angelic Beings to sneak into the Galaxy and let those traitorous dogs run free.”

“Don’t even mention that useless council; they haven’t accomplished anything useful. The focus now is that the Angelic Beings dare to assassinate Yi Chen—that is a line we cannot tolerate, we must retaliate!”

“I strongly demand that the military send troops to the Angelic Galaxy and eliminate the Angelic Beings! As long as the military dares to deploy, I will enlist today!”

All of humanity was enraged, filled with fury.

Their attitude was surprisingly unanimous: they wanted to send troops to the Angelic Galaxy.

Even groups that were usually strongly anti-war did not step forward to oppose this time, with many shifting their positions.

This was because the actions of the Angelic Beings had seriously touched upon humanity’s core interests and bottom lines.

These extreme anti-war individuals had also learned the Chaos Technique.

Even those with poor talents had now reached Spirit Release, with lifespans of over two hundred and forty years.

“The military held a press conference, with Marshal Iron Blood personally stepping forward to apologize.”

“Damn, the military is really useless. After being attacked by the Angelic Beings’ army, they dispatch an entire fleet for a counterattack, only to be easily repelled?”

“Not just useless, they’re garbage. A century ago, even though humanity suffered heavy losses and was gravely hurt, we still held the advantage against the Angelic Beings.”

“Let alone, as their levels increase, the warships’ response speed also improves. Their strength should be even greater!”

Throughout the entire Galaxy, voices of criticism rang out.

“Exactly! Yi Chen’s sudden rise has indeed boosted the Military’s strength significantly.”

“Even though the infantry corps is still just a beginner, the warships have genuinely seen improvements. How could they be easily repelled by the Angelic Beings?”

“It’s probably not a strength issue, but a command issue. The fleet commander is a complete failure; I strongly demand he face a military tribunal.”

“That’s right, the fleet commander must take responsibility. Let’s not forget that even sixty years ago, during a low point of fear for all humanity, Yi Tenglóng made the Angelic Beings run scared!”

“If it weren’t for that useless council repeatedly ordering Yi Tenglóng to retreat, he might have dared to strike at the Angelic Beings’ holy land!”

The public’s anger grew stronger, fueled by various news outlets.

Some even started saying that an apology from Marshal Iron Blood was not enough, and he should resign.

“Speaking of Yi Tenglóng, I remember seeing news yesterday that a Revival Army has emerged, and Yi Chen has become its second commander?”

“That’s false. I’ve seen the news. It’s supposedly just a group of rebels trying to resurrect themselves under the banner of Yi Chen and the Revival Army.”

“The Military only sent a squadron of fighters and easily crushed the rebels’ stronghold.”

“The Military issued a statement confirming that future rebels under the Revival Army’s flag will certainly appear, urging the public not to be fooled.”

“No matter what, the Military is too useless. To deal with those annoyances, we need another Yi Tenglóng to rise!”

“Before the Military even declares war, I’m enlisting!”

“It’s clear that the infantry corps will become the main fighting force; it’s the trend of the times. Now is just the beginning, with plenty of opportunities. I want to secure a good position first, to avoid being overshadowed by some incompetent failures.”

“Exactly! I’m signing up too. Brothers, one day we will rise to power, so don’t forget your roots! Let’s wipe out the Angelic Beings!”

Under various guidance and encouragement, humanity’s Military faced a day of explosive growth.

At the military headquarters, Marshal Iron Blood, who just finished apologizing, watched the constantly reported data, trying hard to maintain his authority without smiling too broadly.

…

On the other side, the Angelic Beings were also filled with rage.

For them, the entire situation was a different story.

The whole process involved humanity slightly recovering their strength, then ambitiously dispatching fleets to attack the Angelic Beings stationed at the border.

The Angelic Beings suffered heavy losses, barely managing to drive the human fleets back.

And none of the human commanders were anything but ruthless and bloodthirsty.

This particular one-star general of the human fleet was no different. To replicate Yi Tenglóng’s methods of gaining prestige from back then, he secretly dispatched agents carrying devastating weapons and detonated Kosa Star, resulting in the annihilation of over three billion Angelic Beings on Tokka planet.

His ruthless tactics and cruel heart surpassed even those of Yi Tenglóng back in the day.

All Angelic Beings shouted for vengeance against Tokka planet, calling to eliminate humanity.

Only a few knew that although the border between humanity and the Angelic Beings was still firing shots and constantly clashing, both the human Military and the high-ranking Angelic Beings restrained themselves from escalating tensions.

The former feared the threat from various races and was in a phase of rapid development that needed time.

The latter lacked sufficient strength and needed to gather powerful allies to collectively resist humanity.
