According to Shen Yunmai's narration, not only did his father give the order, but his father also destroyed the planet in person.
Jing Jiu didn't think too much about the moral judgment of this matter. He was more concerned about what kind of weapon the Great Grandmaster used to be so powerful.
The Great Grandmaster of Aoyama didn't take the All in One with him when he ascended. No matter how high his Cultivation state was, it shouldn't be so powerful.
The planet rotated at a high speed. The broken side of the planet was soon facing the fixed star, and the details were clearer.
Those broken meridians were like blood vessels that had been forcibly torn apart. It was a ghastly sight.
The Scorching-Sun Battleship and the Scorching-Tail Battleship slowed down and stopped in the blank area of the planetary system, blocking some rays of the fixed star. They landed on the broken side of the planet and became two tiny black spots. Jing Jiu turned around and looked in that direction. He found that the surface of the battleships was reflecting bright rays under the illumination of the fixed star, looking like two burning flying swords.
They were burning flying swords again.
Jing Jiu thought of a possibility.
There was a sword method of the Aoyama Sect, which Jing Jiu had told Zhao Layue and others many times.
The sword method descending from the sky was the Sword Formation of Aoyama.
If the Great Grandmaster used tens of thousands of battleships as flying swords to form such a magnificent Sword Formation of Aoyama, how powerful would it be?
Looking at the sword light in Jing Jiu's eyes and sensing the sword wills drifting out of his body, Shen Yunmai knew that Jing Jiu had guessed the truth, feeling a bit complicated.
"I've always thought that I had the highest talent in Aoyama, though I haven't been to Aoyama yet." Jing Jiu pulled his black hair behind his back and tied it up with his fingers. "I'm his son after all. It seems that those old guys have a good eye for talent. I'm just a little bit inferior to you."
Jing Jiu said, "There will be someone with the surname Peng, who has a higher talent than you."
Shen Yunmai didn't believe him, asking, "Do you have any other questions?"
The Great Grandmaster of Aoyama used tens of thousands of battleships as the Sword Formation of Aoyama to launch an unimaginably powerful attack and destroy the planet. It was indeed an unimaginable feat. However, there was still a huge gap between this and the star level. It was impossible to complete the plan to ignite a star, and it was not even comparable to the bombardment that Planet 857 had suffered.
The weapon that could annihilate all life on the planet was more precise and subtle, obviously of a higher level.
Therefore, there was no problem with Jing Jiu.
He was more concerned about another matter and asked, "How did you do your hair just now?"
…
…
The Scorching-Sun Battleship and the Charred Tail Battleship continued heading toward the universe.
As usual, Jing Jiu stood in front of the window and looked at the countless rays in the dark universe silently.
Hua Xi sat in the chair and brewed tea, but her gaze fell on his black hair.
Jing Jiu's black hair was very smooth, just like the super alloy walls in the 857 ring base. Not even dust could stop on it.
Things that were too perfect were hard to take care of. Most of the time, his hair was left loose, and it was rare for him to have it styled like this.
The universe in front of him was like his black hair, getting darker and darker. One day, more than a hundred thousand stars suddenly appeared.
They were the Star Core Fleet and the Star Chain Fleet. More than a hundred thousand battleships of various models and the observable celestial bodies were in a relatively stationary state, becoming the stars in the sky.
The Scorching-Sun Battleship and the Scorching-Tail Battleship had slowed down a long time ago. They entered the fleet smoothly and turned into two stars.
More than a hundred thousand battleships were scattered in the vast universe among more than thirty planetary systems. The permanent star of the nearest planetary system was still bright, illuminating the thirteen planets belonging to it. The third planet was very lively. One could observe the mushroom clouds rising from the ocean and the torrents that looked like lightning from a long distance away.
The sun of this planetary system was a yellow dwarf star with a uniform color and few storms. It was in a calm state and was named Topaz by the Astronomical Department of the Federation Committee.
According to the usual practice, this planet was naturally named Topaz No. 3. It wouldn't be renamed unless a memorable battle or historical event took place here one day, or an important figure expressed his love for the planet.
Topaz No. 3 had been an important administrative planet in this part of the universe. It had become a true war zone after being invaded by the Sea of Dark Matter.
It was unknown whether this planet would become a bright paradise or an empty hell in a dozen years.
The small battleships and various transport spaceships landed or departed from Topaz No. 3; it was a busy scene.
It was rare to see such a scene even on the most important transport planet, which was the warped hole.
This planet was similar to Planet 857, but it was much livelier. In addition to the black and white colors that represented the deathly stillness, many other colors could be seen on the surface of the planet, like the green color that represented life and the blue color that represented the ocean.
The green patches were not large and were scattered all over the planet, looking like mosses.
There were military bases near the green patches. The base closest to the equator had the largest surface area. It could be seen very clearly even from space. The hexagonal outline of the base looked like six swords extending in all directions.
The hexagonal building was the isolation area and the killing area of the Blood Thumb. There were all kinds of equipment in the hexagonal building, which was responsible for disinfecting the machines and the soldiers returning from the missions.
Along with the thudding sounds, a combat mecha would land on the outskirts of the base from time to time. These mechas were more or less damaged, with black stains everywhere on their surfaces.
The combat mechas and other equipment had to be disinfected after they returned to the base. The most effective and fastest method of disinfection was to use high-energy light and heat. Even though the rooms were tightly shielded, one could still see the dazzling light leaking out from time to time. Looking from a distance, they looked like the illumination of a hexagonal star, looking beautiful and solemn.
However, for the soldiers in the combat mechas, the long-lasting high-energy light and heat disinfection was a painful process. Even though the life-support system of the mechas could provide sufficient protection, the super-intense radiation would still cause great damage to their bodies. Fortunately, the technology was advanced, and the gene modification and related drugs were very convenient to use, so the damage was not irreparable.
Like the automatic cleaning workshops of the floating cars, the passage leading to the interior of the base would open after the light and heat disinfection process was finished and the dark spores were found after careful inspection. Along with the deep and low sound of an electric machine, a heavy Mecha with many scars all over its body was sent out from the automatic passage.
The hatch opened, and a burly colonel jumped out.
Due to some special reasons, Huangyu 3 still needed ground troops. Most of the combat missions were handed over to attack type warships. Those who were qualified to go out alone were all experts of the military. Only experts of this realm could retain a certain amount of combat ability when their mechas were damaged. This burly colonel was an expert of the Star realm. He took a sip of the hard liquor the orderly handed him and looked at the remote monitoring tower in the depths of the base. He frowned and asked, "Who's here?"
There were more than ten military officers standing below the remote monitoring tower, including the highest-ranking director of the base. Even he was not qualified to go up the tower with the colonel, so it was easy to imagine that the person who had come was definitely not an ordinary person. The orderly glanced over nervously and said, "Commander Shen and the advisor."
Logically speaking, the whereabouts of such important people was top secret, but for some reason, all the combat troops on the planet now knew about it. The colonel thought about how he had been fighting on this planet for more than a year, but in the end, these important people … His expression became gloomy, and he smashed the glass in his hand onto the ground, shattering it.
…
…
In the wars of the interstellar era, the warships played the most important and even the only role.
Maintaining military bases on the surface of the planet and dispatching a large number of ground troops seemed to be a foolish and uneconomical move.
Jing Jiu knew the history and the specific situation of Huangyu 3, so he understood that this was a last resort.
Apart from being an important administrative planet, this planet was also rich in minerals, some of which were very rare in the universe.
The element sequence of this mineral was 9447, and it was temporarily named Huangyu, just like this planet. It was unknown whether it would have its own special name in the future.
The element 9447 was very rare and not widely used, but it played an important role in some key technologies, and there was no substitute for it.
The Federation of the Milky Way needed this mineral, so they had to recapture this planet.
To ensure the safety of the Huangyu mineral resources, the military couldn't use the fleet to bombard the planet intensively, nor could they use hundreds of thousands of nuclear bombs to blow up this planet. Even the tactical nuclear bombs with small yields had to be used cautiously. The mushroom clouds that Jing Jiu saw on the battleship were blooming above the ocean, which was the same principle.
Of course, the ground troops would inevitably suffer a great number of casualties; but it was a time of war, and the precious resources were indeed more important than the lives. Jing Jiu had learned this heartless, cruel and even disgusting principle when he was still a young prince. He pulled back his line of sight from the distance and asked Shen Yunmai, "When will we set off?"
Shen Yunmai put down the data analysis manual and said, "Right now. I'll ask someone to show you around. See you later."
This planet had been contaminated by the Sea of Dark Matter and produced many monsters. The number of monsters had been greatly reduced after many years of purging by the military. To recapture this planet, they had to find the crack in the dimension space and melt it with a high temperature of more than seven million degrees Celsius.
This was what Shen Yunmai referred to when he told Jing Jiu that he had an important matter to deal with on the 857 base.
He was the commander of the Central Star Fleet, so it was not his place to take the risk.
Yet, he was the strongest swordsman in the military, so it seemed reasonable for him to take the risk himself.
"I'll go and have a look," said Jing Jiu.

(I've posted a Q&A on the official Wechat account. You can check it out. The plot of the Dao, the whole universe, the past, life, and writing are all covered. It feels good to do it again after three years. In addition, I've received a message from the publishing house in the afternoon that the second volume of the Dao will be published tomorrow. I strongly suggest that those who need a physical book buy it. It's not a matter of earning money; it's a matter of liking the book. I really like the book "The Path Toward Heaven". Jing Jiu is an awesome author.)
