"Wait!"
Meng Chixin interrupted her. "Expanding the territory and marching to the extraterrestrial domains are the most honorable things. Why is it not valued in your Imperium and considered a menial mission?"
"Everyone, there is something you don't know."
Heiye Lan laughed bitterly and told him the reason.
When the Imperium of True Human Beings had just occupied the cores of the universe such as the Empyreal Terminus Sector, it was naturally of paramount importance to expand the territory and control more Sectors and space zones. At that time, even the resistance against the Holy League was not as important as expanding the territory. The most elite legions and fleets were all sent out to conquer more Sectors.
However, in the thousand years of development, the Imperium of True Human Beings had included all the prosperous areas of the Star Ocean Imperium in the past.
The rest of the elite areas were under the control of the Holy League, and it would not be easy to take them.
Were the two parties essentially dividing up the entire 'central plateaus'? What was left was a desolate world that was far away, short of resources, and had a lot of unruly people.
The universe was so vast that it was not easy to find a world that was worth developing and habitable. Those desolate worlds were scattered at the edge of the boundless sea of stars. They were hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of lightyears away from each other!
When a fleet of the Imperium set off to explore the outer realms, it was very possible that they would not find a target that they could conquer even after hundreds of years. Even the places on the ancient star map that were supposed to have prosperous worlds and prosperous civilizations could turn into complete wastelands after the passage of time and the frequent apocalypses!
In other words, at this point in time, developing the Outer Territory would become an out-and-out dirty, tiring, and bitter task. It was an embarrassing task that took an extremely long time, was thankless, and was extremely likely to come back empty-handed!
The Black Wind Fleet was supposed to be an ace troop high and mighty. They should've made tremendous contributions in the war against the Covenant Alliance and reaped tremendous resources. But right now, they had been sent to carry out development and exploration missions that could take hundreds of years, just like those mediocre troops. It was possible that they would not get any benefits at all. Naturally, those ferocious warriors would feel helpless and humiliated!
"None of us are willing to carry out the colonization mission. All we want is to counterattack the mother world."
Heiye Lan's cheeks were shivering. She gnashed her teeth and said, "However, it's our fault for losing the war. There are still so many elite legions of the Imperium waiting to see what happens to us. If we continue to disobey the order, we will really be completely separated! "
"As it happened, the Imperium received a fuzzy signal sent back from a certain world at the edge of the cosmos by a star child, who was released hundreds of years ago. Something seemed to be there."
"So, we accepted the colonization mission. While sweeping and exploring, we flew toward the approximate coordinates of this vague signal."
Li Yao suddenly thought of something. He knew that Heiye Lan was referring to the signal that the star child, who directed the riot of the Immortal Cultivators in the Flying Star Sector more than a hundred years ago, sent through the space gate near Spider Den in the end!
Everything matched up seamlessly!
Meng Chixin asked with great interest, "A hundred years? Did it take you more than a hundred years to fly here?"
"Yes," Heiye Lan replied honestly.
Heiye Lan replied dutifully. "In the boundless sea of stars, it is not unusual for a colonization mission or a war to take three to five hundred years. The war between us and the Covenant Alliance has lasted a thousand years. It is an out-and-out war of a thousand years! What does a mere hundred years count for? "
"You —"
Meng Chixin thought for a moment and asked again, "Couldn't you have teleported here directly?"
"No." Heiye Lan shook her head.
"The coordinates that the star child sent back were too vague. If we jumped recklessly, it would've been very easy for us to lose our direction and coordinates. We would've been ripped into shreds by the super tempests after we jumped into the storm in the four-dimensional space!"
The locals of the Ancient Sages Sector all understood the concept of 'super tempests'. They all nodded.
"Besides, there was no need for us to fly here in such a hurry," Heiye Lan said. "After all, we were just sweeping and exploring along the way, hoping to clear a stable base at the rear of the Imperium.
Heiye Lan said, "Flowers that you planted intentionally do not bloom, but willows that you planted unintentionally grow. Chances are that we will discover some unknown worlds or resource planets that are more valuable than the target we set in the beginning. This is a common occurrence in the colonization quests."
"You've been living on the starship for a hundred years."
"Weren't you bored?" Wu Suiyun asked.
"I'm used to it," Heiye Lan said.
Heiye Lan said, "The Imperium has very advanced hibernation technology. Most of the crew members can spend a long journey in hibernation. Only some of them can stay awake in turns to train themselves and explore the space nearby. It may seem like a hundred years, but in fact, they will only be awake for seven to eight years.

"Also, our warship is enormous enough. It is like a super-large town with all the necessary facilities. You can even get married and have children inside it for the rest of your life!"
The Yuanying and the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators found it hard to imagine what it would feel like to live in such an enormous warship for the rest of their lives even though they were inside it. They could not help but feel amazed.
"Therefore," Wu Suiyun continued, "the Black Wind Fleet found the Ancient Sages Sector after a hundred years. Why were you the only one there?"
"Well …"
Heiye Lan hesitated.
"Huh?"
Wu Suiyun frowned, and Meng Chixin sneered. The rest of the Yuanying stared at Heiye Lan with glittering eyes.
Heiye Lan sensed that her every nerve had been tied up by the telepathic thoughts of the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators. Lying would barely fool them and would only make them wary of the Imperium, which would be detrimental to her subsequent plan. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and told the truth. "The Black Wind Fleet did not discover the Ancient Sages Sector. You were not our original target at all. I was hunted by the enemy and ran to this place by accident!"
"Hunted?"
Everybody, including Li Yao, was slightly dazed.
Meng Chixin raised his eyebrow. "Was it the 'Holy League', your greatest enemy?"
"No, it wasn't."
With a weird expression, Heiye Lan said, "It was a force at the borderland named 'Xing Yao Federation'."
Li Yao's heart immediately turned cold.
He was screaming in his head nonstop. "What's going on? What's going on?"
"Why is Heiye Lan, a special agent of the Imperium, aware of the existence of the Federation?"
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Has the Black Wind Fleet arrived at the Federation's territory in advance, and the battle to protect the Federation has already begun? "
"That doesn't make sense. Heiye Lan doesn't look like it!"
The Yuanying and the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment. Wu Suiyun frowned and said, "The Imperium first, the Holy League, and now the Federation? What … what is the Federation? "
"In fact, I don't know much about it," Heiye Lan said with difficulty.
Heiye Lan struggled to say, "I only know that they should be a local force not far away from this area. However, their overall capability cannot be very high and cannot be compared to the Imperium or the Holy League. They are just an insignificant country in the desolate area."
Han Baling sniffed and interjected, "Does the desolate area have to be a small country?"
Heiye Lan licked her dry lips and did not respond to Han Baling's question. She went on. "It was … about ten years ago. At that time, my hibernation was over, and it was my turn to carry out reconnaissance missions. I left the range of the mother fleet with my branch fleet.
"Because we were carrying out reconnaissance and exploration missions, dozens of branch fleets, also known as' claw fleets', were separated from the mother fleet. They were like the tentacles and claws that were extended from the mother fleet. They spread out to places far away from the mother fleet and searched separately.
"The distance between the claw fleets and the mother fleet could be almost a hundred lightyears. They boasted independent command and combat systems and could explore independently for years!
"Well, perhaps it is impossible for you to understand the meaning of 'lightyears' for now. All in all, it means that the 'scout squads' like us are very, very far away from the army!
"As it turned out, our claw fleet was very lucky. Although we did not find any new resource planets or habitable worlds, we did find 'Firefly'!"
Heiye Lan's voice was shivering in excitement, and her eyes were almost spurting fire.
"What is Firefly?" Wu Suiyun asked.
"Firefly is a hostile starship that has been on the run since a thousand years ago. It has been hiding in the depths of the universe for a thousand years, catching its last breath stealthily. It escaped from the siege of the army of the Imperium countless times and went missing in the past hundreds of years. Many people thought that it had been killed in a cosmic storm. Little did they know that it had escaped beyond the range of the Imperium's influence. In such a remote place, it was finally caught by us!"
Heiye Lan grinned. Although she was trapped and deformed, there was still brutality and valor in her smile.
Meng Chixin pondered for a moment and asked, "Is Firefly very important to the Imperium?"
"Well —"
Heiye Lan's eyes were rolling quickly.
"Just say it. How can we cooperate if you don't tell us everything frankly?"
Meng Chixin smiled. Glamorous brilliance that looked like auroras beamed out of his deep eyes. The brilliance was like colorful snakes that condensed into bundles in the air and crawled into Heiye Lan's eyes.
In the meantime, Wu Suiyun was plucking the strings of spiritual threads that pierced into Heiye Lan's brain crazily, too!
Heiye Lan's head was shivering beyond her control. Her eyes gradually froze, and her voice became hollow as she mumbled, "Very important."
"Because the leadership of the parliament of the Star Ocean Republic was carried on Firefly at the beginning. They were the last resistance of the Star Ocean Republic and claimed to be the 'rightful government of the Star Ocean Republic'. Firefly is the last homeland of the Star Ocean Republic!"
"The Star Ocean Republic. Is it the predecessor of the Imperium of True Human Beings that you mentioned just now?"
Meng Chixin smiled. "I get it now. The old emperor of the previous dynasty was on board, which symbolized the rightful aura of the emperor that had not been cut off yet. No wonder you were so nervous!
"The Star Ocean Republic is a parliamentary republic. There is no 'old emperor'," Heiye Lan said in a hollow voice.
Heiye Lan continued in an unpredictable and hollow voice. "However, many people say in private that part of the leadership of the parliament of the Star Ocean Republic took away the 'Grand Seal of the Cosmos', the most important item in the parliament, when they snuck out of the Empyreal Terminus Sector. The seal was made of the pieces of the imperial seal of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago. It represents the supreme power in the sea of stars! According to the legends, it is also related to a great secret about the 'Supreme Emperor'! "
Meng Chixin's eyes suddenly shone. "The imperial seal?"
Heiye Lan's eyes froze for a moment. "The imperial seal — not exactly. The Imperium has been established for a long time, and its governance is deeply rooted. It is not something that can be shaken by a mere seal of the parliament.
"However, allowing the remnants of the previous dynasty, such as Firefly, to wander in the outside world with the pieces of the imperial seal of the Star Ocean Imperium in the past, is a major problem after all.
"In the past thousand years, the Imperium organized hundreds of sieges and annihilations, but Firefly was like a slippery loach. It slipped away every time."
