Chapter
The deadline given from the other side of Earth is about thirty cosmic days to complete the preliminary research and understanding of the Golden Holy Light.
As for training the operators, it depends on the requirements. If it's just piloting, then fifty or sixty cosmic days would suffice. However, if one wants to thoroughly master all types of functionalities, it could take much longer—perhaps even one or two years.
Ye Zhongming calculated the distance and shook his head. His fleet couldn't make it; it was too far. He didn't know how long it would take to get there, so he still had to rely on Cloud Summit.
Fortunately, Ye Zhongming had mature ship knowledge and pilots on his side, which would allow them to pass on their skills and experience to narrow the gap with Earth.
To be honest, time was extremely tight for Ye Zhongming right now.
The mark on him felt like a death warrant, set to explode at any moment.
If he couldn't acquire the ability to protect himself before being discovered by the Tarros Red Dwarf, then everything would be in vain.
Ye Zhongming was genuinely wary of these dwarfs. They were too independent and far too powerful. Their independence meant they had none of the reservations and constraints of a leader race, possessing complete autonomy to act as they wished, as long as it did not go against the heavens. Their strength granted them the ability to make the All Races of the Universe avoid them, especially now in the era of the three divine artisans, where the dwarfs had entered a historically rare period of prosperity.
Such a fierce tiger could pounce at any moment, and that was what worried Ye Zhongming the most.
He needed to do everything possible to ensure his life was secure.
The second matter was the significant progress made in the Titan Secret Realm.
This was mainly due to Cloud Summit conducting a highly risky combat plan after making slight adjustments.
Initially, after their victory in the defense of Twin City, they launched several waves of offensives. With air support and the addition of the gene warrior legion, they won several beautiful annihilation battles, depleting a lot of the beastmen's combat strength.
On the Earth side, Cloud Summit had basically completed global control. The regions that were not occupied were mostly just some corners of South America and Africa, along with a small island in the southern hemisphere.
These couldn't stop the trend of world unification.
Thanks to prior experience in occupying national territories and Cloud Summit's repeated expansions, they had amassed enough troops to control large new territories effectively. They mainly adopted a model of one main combat legion supported by an outer legion, complemented by troops drawn from other regions for joint governance.
Coupled with the teleportation gates linking the globe and the ubiquitous avoidance, Cloud Summit's path to unification did not encounter the kind of breakdowns that could lead to collapse.
One thing worth mentioning is that Ye Zhongming had been training his subordinates and companions since the apocalypse began, reaping the greatest rewards at this time.
After more than a decade of training, they had become capable of standing on their own. The invincible image of Cloud Summit over the years had instilled more confidence in these core members than anyone else, fostering deep loyalty to Ye Zhongming.
The life-and-death friendships they forged in the early days allowed them to resolve disputes quickly and effectively now. Their genuine trust was akin to that of brothers.
Such a powerful and united Cloud Summit, along with Ye Zhongming as the high-spirited spiritual leader, ensured that from the moment they completed unification, they firmly held control over this planet. As long as there were no catastrophic, world-ending accidents, Cloud Summit would henceforth be the master of Earth.
Under this major premise, Xia Lei and Guangyao, among others, deliberated and suddenly sent a large number of troops to the Titan Secret Realm one day.
