Super God: Speak to the ultimate fear!

Chapter 183 The 'Heavenly Khan System' Unique to Chinese Civilization! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

"Open global band communication, Hill, it's up to you." Feng Xi's voice rang out softly in the strangely atmospheric Nuwa Palace.

At this moment, facing the close-range jump of the Nuwa Palace flagship, the Taotie Earth fleet scattered in Earth's near-Earth orbit did not act rashly, but silently entered a state of combat readiness, but dared not fire the first shot.

Why? Because the Taotie on each of the Taotie warships weren't all fools. They had all witnessed the Nuwa Palace flagship's incredible feats of single-handedly taking on thousands, breaking through enemy lines, and slaying king-level ships. Especially now that their main Taotie fleet had vanished without a trace, any Taotie with discerning eyes would immediately realize the gravity of the situation when they saw the Nuwa Palace flagship leap right up to them, right in front of them, and stab the rear of their fleet's command flagship.

Although they desperately didn't want to accept the reality that shattered their understanding, reality was already slamming into their faces, riding right before their eyes onto their command flagship. The surrounding Taotie escort warships could only watch helplessly, caught completely off guard.
Taotie Guardian Warship: No!!! I can't protect anything!!!

"Ahem. Fellow Taotie brethren in the Chiwu star system, this is Hill, the Taotie technical officer of the Nuwa Palace." Hill's voice rang out in the public communication channel of all Taotie fleet groups in the star field near Earth.

Feng Xi and the others simply watched silently, ready to enter battle at any moment. There were some things he felt were best left to the professionals to say; it was more appropriate to leave them to the experts.

"Although this may sound arrogant, it is indeed a fact that all of your Taotie warships are surrounded by us."

The members of the Taotie fleet looked solemn, but they did not refute anything. They had already guessed this from the fact that the main Taotie fleet had been out of contact for several days, but they were unwilling to admit it.

"Fellow Taotie, your main fleet has fled in panic, leaving the Chiwu star system. At the same time, the Pluto Worm Bridge has also been destroyed."

Taotie Earth Fleet: "."

At this moment, the entire Taotie army on Earth ceased its attack, listening with solemn and astonished expressions to this communication that sounded utterly unbelievable to them.
"Please stop pushing us to the brink of destruction! The war is over! We are grateful for the benevolence of the Queen Mother of the Wa Palace, who has granted us a chance for a new life!"

"Don't rush to argue! Fellow Taotie! We shouldn't be bloodthirsty beasts! We should also be people of the new era!" Hill's voice seemed to possess a special magic; his simple yet powerful words always had the ability to stir people's emotions.
"Since the Taotie civilization entered the realm of spacefaring civilization, twenty thousand years have passed. We may appear to have donned armor and entered warships, but we still live like wild beasts, consumed by bloodlust and savagery! Under the Styx order constructed by the Grim Reaper, no matter how much time passes, we Taotie will remain nothing more than weapons without independent thought! Savage, bloodthirsty beasts!!"

"Once, I also thought this was the future of the Taotie civilization, this was what Taotie warriors should be like! But! In the end, I discovered that I thought I could endure the darkness only because I had never seen the light!"

"The old era led by Death turned Taotie into beasts! Only the new era led by Nuwa can turn Taotie back into humans!" Hill shouted excitedly in the ancient Taotie language at the end. His loud voice resonated with all the Taotie, making them tremble in their hearts!
"Captain, is what he said true?" In the Earth war zone, a Taotie mecha warrior asked the captain mecha beside him, whose arm had been severed, in a deep voice.

The mecha captain didn't speak, but just silently looked at his severed arm.

"If what he said is false, then how do you explain Wu Ji's betrayal? How do you explain the presence of Taotie warriors in Earth's army?"

"commander?"

"We've already been abandoned. Should we keep fighting, or...?"

"Commander, Hill said that from this moment on, the Nuwa Palace accepts surrender; those who do not surrender should immediately withdraw from Earth and the solar system."

"...We're allowed to retreat even if we don't surrender? But the Hades Bridge is gone, where can we retreat to?"

All the Taotie fleets within the Earth star system were caught in a dilemma. They knew that continuing to fight was futile; even the main fleet had been routed. What could these smaller fleets possibly do? What distressed these Taotie fleets most was that when the Taotie King Shizhu betrayed them, he did so without hesitation. Even if he had sent them a message before leaving, telling them to retreat or remain loyal, they would have agreed! They simply had a benchmark in their hearts.

But while you were winning great victories, you quietly slipped away, as if you were afraid they wouldn't let your Taotie King Shihu cover your retreat and draw their fire? As long as they are on Earth, the Nuwa Palace flagship, which is like an empty field on the interstellar battlefield, will never be able to pursue your capital ships' retreat at all costs, right?

“General, we are not afraid of death, we just don’t know why we are going to die,” a Taotie warrior said silently to their general.

"We can die for the King, we can be loyal to Death itself, but now, we have received no orders." This is something that particularly distresses many Taotie warriors. It's not like they're not going to cover your retreat; what's with this overreaction? Taotie warriors have never feared death, because they see it as an honor.
but now,
"Our deaths bring no glory."

"That unsinkable warship, capable of taking on an entire main fleet single-handedly, now gives us two choices: surrender or retreat, rather than pursuing our victory and annihilating them."

"We thought we would die in battle, but it seems we won't. Because the enemy gave us the option to retreat."

"We've heard too much about surrender or death; surrender or retreat—this is the first time we've heard this."

Inside the Taotie command warship, the Taotie Earth War Zone Supreme Commander looked at the group of Taotie officers kneeling silently before him, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

Given the terrifying combat power and record of the Nuwa Palace flagship, their Earth theater fleet, reduced to less than a hundred warships, simply dared not engage in battle. With the strength of the enemy's shields, withstanding the firepower of twenty or thirty warships was no problem at all! If they wasted even a little time, their entire Taotie fleet would be either dead or crippled.

Therefore, the fact that the flagship of Nuwa Palace was willing to let them leave was something they hadn't expected.
"Commander, without the Great Worm Bridge, we can't go back, but at least the enemy gave us a dignified choice in the face of meaningless deaths." In truth, Taotie hadn't figured out why the last war had been so manageable, but this one had suddenly escalated to such terrifying intensity.
“But we have caused too much damage to the Earth,” a Taotie officer said in a deep voice. “So we probably have no choice but to retreat,” someone else said solemnly.

"Although we don't know what the master of the Nuwa Palace is planning, at least for now, their attitude has made it clear that they either stay voluntarily or retreat gracefully."

Everyone fell silent; this was the most incomprehensible and perplexing thing for them.

"So, the fact that Hill didn't lie to us about Martial Arts also proves that the Taotie seems to be able to integrate into this civilization."

Normally, civilizations are highly incompatible with each other, and they had never encountered a civilization that could assimilate the Taotie.
"But we've damaged the Earth so badly."

"yes."

"Have you all considered this question? If you really want to kill us, what's the point of forcing us to retreat and submit?"

"So, you've already made your decision?" The Taotie commander looked at these people silently and finally sighed.

"The Taotie has lost."

“But a new Taotie has been born.” Hill’s voice rang in everyone’s ears. Turning around, they saw a humanoid Taotie emerge from the spatial gate and appear before them.

Finally, after face-to-face talks, the Taotie Earth Fleet announced its unconditional surrender.

Most of the Taotie fleet chose to surrender, a small portion chose to retreat, and some Taotie chose to fight to the death against the Earth army, ultimately being wiped out by the Earth army.

Faced with the surrendered Taotie fleet, Feng Xi's first order was to have the Taotie forces within Earth conduct a self-examination, transferring any Taotie warriors from the surrendered fleet who wished to retreat to the retiring fleet, thus separating those who wanted to surrender from the retreating fleet and completing the initial purification of the Taotie fleet. Secondly, the Taotie fleet, renamed the "Taotie" Earth Fleet, was to receive the Taotie survivors from the interstellar battlefield and retrieve the wreckage of those warships to tow to the moon.

This [Taotie] fleet cannot be mixed with other Earth fleets for the time being, as this could easily lead to internal strife. Having the [Taotie] fleet sweep through the interstellar battlefield will also serve as a deterrent, while saving the trouble of ideological work with the Taotie survivors. After all, intelligent beings have a herd mentality; once the Taotie fleets begin to surrender en masse, the Taotie survivors will easily accept their surrender without further explanation.

"You really want to incorporate the Taotie fleet?" After assigning tasks to the Taotie fleet with great confidence, the angel Zhixin entered the Nuwa Palace flagship in Earth's atmosphere. Even though the matter had been explained, she still felt a sense of disorientation.

Having disengaged from combat and no longer needing to remain in her 'Golden Captain's Cabin,' Feng Xi, pinching Xiao Nai Sha's cheek, was trying to find the button to delete photos. Upon hearing this, she looked up at the core members in the Nuwa Palace Command Center and couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Compared to many interstellar civilizations, the history of Chinese civilization is very rich, and it contains many experiences worth learning from."

Upon hearing this, Angel Zhixin glanced back at the Earth crew members around her. Most of them had complicated expressions, but in the end, they all expressed that they could understand.

"More than a thousand years ago, there existed a being on the land of China that, relying solely on the productivity of agricultural civilization, expanded its influence to almost the entire Eurasian continent and was known as the strongest carbon-based life form of that century." As he spoke of this, Feng Xi's eyes shone brightly. He had always enjoyed collecting stories about Erfeng since he was a child, because, to put it simply, Erfeng's ability to mobilize resources was the most terrifying among all the monarchs in Chinese history.

"Is he a good fighter?" Angel Blazing Heart asked curiously.

In Angel Zhixin's understanding, the strongest carbon-based life form must be extremely powerful.

"Yes, he can make his army, his country, and his civilization the most powerful in combat." Feng Xi pondered for a moment, then explained to Angel Zhixin, "In his era, he could use an army of ten thousand men to generate a retinue of one hundred thousand, creating a deterrent force that even a million-strong army might not be able to achieve." After all, a million-strong army can't be mobilized at will, but Erfeng's ten thousand troops can arrive whenever they want. There are even historical records of Tang envoys borrowing a few troops abroad and destroying a large country with only a few hundred people.
The Tang Dynasty's Heavenly Khan system allowed it to achieve maximum results with minimal cost, ensuring a continuous flow of resources from various regions back to the Central Plains, ultimately creating the Tang Dynasty's golden age. Feng Xi's current strategy is similar: achieve maximum results with minimal cost, using the Taotie itself to attack the Taotie's true form.

"We'll keep the [Taotie] fleet. At least it will provide us with a strong recovery mechanism when facing attacks from the Taotie civilization in the future," Feng Xi said casually.

"..." Angel Zhixin stared blankly at Feng Xi before her. She realized that the man in front of her not only wanted to retrieve the Taotie's warships, but also its warriors.
"Aren't you afraid they'll rebel?" Angel Zhixin had barely finished speaking when she realized she might have been overthinking it.

“The entire [Taotie] fleet will evolve into Divine River Body lifeforms. They are no longer the same species as the Taotie civilization. What is the point of their betrayal? To go back to being beasts? Or something else?” Feng Xi said, then looked at Sun Wukong and continued, “Brother Monkey is actually already a demigod river body, belonging to the Divine River Body after retaining its own specialized genes. However, since Brother Monkey did not evolve, he is considered a special case.”

"The new [Taotie] race will evolve more thoroughly. Apart from retaining certain specialized genes, theoretically the new [Taotie] will not be much different from the Divine River Body."

"In the past, your Angel Civilization and the Divine River Civilization fought a physical war together, but you didn't fight it thoroughly." Feng Xi didn't comment much on the Angel Civilization's physical war, at least in his era, the physical war was about to reach a final conclusion.

"In terms of the concept of war, you are indeed more farsighted." Angel Zhixin bowed slightly to Feng Xi, indicating that she had learned something from him.

The Angelic Civilization's physical warfare is conducted by eliminating those who are different from it, while Fengxi's physical warfare is conducted by assimilating those who are different from it.
Zhi Xin couldn't say who was better. But she understood that the Taotie civilization would ultimately be driven to internal collapse by Feng Xi's 'war of physical assimilation'.
