The rampage of the hybrid legions has caused extreme turmoil in the peripheral star systems.
As the head of the empire, Su Bai certainly couldn't sit idly by and wait for his doom.
He ordered the relocation of all the people from the outer galaxies to the core galaxy.
In this way, military forces can be concentrated to fight against the hybrid legion.
Furthermore, the core star system possesses a very sophisticated defense system, making it a better place to fight and increase the chances of victory.
Imperial ships and Zerg air forces were all deployed.
The relocation of personnel to the outer galaxy was completed without encountering major obstacles.
“Your Majesty, the Empire’s power will be greatly weakened by the loss of the outer star system.” General Warfield arrived at the palace.
His voice carried a hint of worry, "Now that the hybrid legions have occupied the outer star systems, their strength will surely become even greater."
Su Bai stood up.
I went to the window.
Looking down at the crowds coming and going on the street below.
"General, there's a saying you've probably heard before."
"Oh? What did you say?"
Su Bai turned around.
The voice was strong and clear.
"If you lose the land but the people, you lose both the land and the people."
"If people are saved but land is lost, both people and land will be saved."
"If we rashly engage in a large-scale war with the Hybrid Legion in order to protect the outer star system."
"Then it is highly likely that our army and our people will perish there."
"Now, although we have lost territory in the outer star systems."
"But our army and our people have been preserved."
Su Bai paused for a moment, then continued:
"The work of cracking the keystone is in full swing."
"With the combined efforts of humans, Zerg, and Protoss, we can surely unravel the mystery."
"At that time, we will find a way to combat Emon and the hybrid."
"Our counter-offensive can then begin."
After saying that...
General Warfield's face immediately showed a look of realization.
"I must say, Your Excellency, you are very young, yet you have great vision."
"Perhaps it's because I've spent so many years in war that I've become so weathered," Su Bai said with a smile.
That evening.
UNN News broadcast a special report.
The host of the program was a familiar old friend—Doni Vomirian.
After Mengsk was overthrown.
Su Bai specially sent people to provide Doni with the best treatment.
He recovered the next day.
Actually, Donnie had suddenly become abnormal.
It was because their beliefs collapsed and their spirits were struck down.
But now.
Mengsk is dead.
Su Bai ascended to the throne and became the new head of the empire.
Faced with the invasion of the hybrids, Su Bai did not abandon the people and let them die.
Instead, they chose to expend considerable effort to bring the people to the safe core galaxy.
This gesture deeply moved Doni.
His faith was rekindled.
"Hello everyone!"
"I am Doni Wormillian!"
"In response to the invasion of the Hybrid Legion, Führer Subai delivered a special address earlier today."
The leader said: "If we save the land but lose the people, we will lose both the land and the people; if we save the people but lose the land, we will save both the land and the people."
"The collapse of peripheral galaxies is only temporary."
"This is the leader's far-sighted plan, a scheme made in advance to prepare for the final victory."
As he spoke, Donnie's voice became excited.
"Now, our great leader Su Bai has gathered the power of the three races: humans, Zerg, and Protoss!"
"I firmly believe that under the wise leadership of the Führer, we will surely defeat the evil hybrid monster!"
"Citizens of the Empire, all you need to do is trust our great leader!"
"Join the army enthusiastically, take up arms, follow the Führer, and fight against evil!"
The top floor area of the royal palace.
Everyone gathered together to watch UNN News.
"I must say, Donnie is an excellent host."
Su Bai's voice was tinged with approval.
"With Doni's outstanding ability to evoke emotions, the citizens of the Empire are already very accepting of their new leader," Zhao Ganwu said with a smile.
“My friend Su Bai, you are not only the leader of the Zerg, but also the head of the human empire. You are truly a promising young man.”
Artanis praised him aloud.
"Archbishop, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary human being." Su Bai waved his hand, appearing very humble.
Everyone was chatting and laughing.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Phase Technicians Karax, Dr. Hansen, and Abathur were carefully studying the Keystone.
Although they do not belong to the same race, they all have a very rigorous scientific spirit.
He became so engrossed in studying the keystone that he practically forgot to eat and sleep. Karax…
...
Time flies.
One week later.
Carax made a breakthrough first.
“Archbishop, I understand the mystery of the Keystone.”
"For the Xel'Naga, energy, genes, and information are all one."
"They can all be substituted for each other, or transformed into each other."
"Discovering this was a huge breakthrough."
"All the obstacles we encountered before were then easily overcome."
These words were spoken.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all gathered around.
"Could it be that you discovered the information Zeratul foresaw in the Keystone?" Su Bai asked repeatedly.
“Yes, my interpretation is that the Keystone will lead us to Urna,” Karax replied.
"Urna? What place is that?" Su Bai asked, puzzled.
“It is the homeland of the Xel'Naga.” Artanis narrowed his eyes. “It is a place that exists in mythology, and it is mentioned in many legends.”
“Now, the Keystone can project Urna’s exact location.” Karax stepped forward.
After a series of operations.
The keystone trembled and emitted a dazzling light.
The once seamless artifact has become four pieces floating in mid-air.
The four keystone fragments are arranged in a square.
The center was filled with shimmering light.
A mysterious ball of light appeared.
"This is impossible! I, I must be mistaken!" Karax was utterly shocked.
"What does it represent?" Su Bai asked.
Artanis blurted out, "This is the Otarian Rift."
"Is the location indicated by the Keystone, the Xel'Naga's homeland—Urna—located within this rift?" Su Bai asked.
“Logically speaking, that’s how it should be.” Artanis’s gaze was profound.
“The Otarian Rift is filled with high-energy particle streams, and no living thing can survive under such conditions.”
Karax looked somewhat dejected. "I must have made a mistake. I have let you down, Archbishop... I'm sorry."
“I think that since the Xel'Naga are gods, we can’t judge them by ordinary standards,” Su Bai said after a moment’s thought.
“Su Bai, you’re right!”
Artanis replied, "Legend has it that the Xel'Naga came from a place where life should not exist."
Su Bai murmured, "This perfectly matches Zeratul's prophecy."
“We must go to the Otarian Rift and find out what’s going on,” Artanis said with a determined look in his eyes.
“The area is filled with high-energy particle streams; entering rashly would be extremely dangerous.” Dr. Hansen’s eyes held a hint of worry.
"To defeat the hybrid, to defeat Emon, we must do it, even if it's dangerous," Su Bai said firmly.
Artanis gazed at the orb of light that appeared from the keystone, feeling a sense of melancholy.
"Zeratul, many people think you've gone mad."
"However, facts have proven it once again."
"You see things more clearly than any other Protoss."
"The keystone guides us to the Altaian Rift, which is also the Xel'Naga's homeland, Urna."
"My mission is to carry on your legacy."
"I will awaken the Xel'Naga and will not let your sacrifice be in vain."
Su Bai stepped forward.
He patted Artanis on the shoulder.
"Zeratul will not have died in vain."
"His enormous contributions to the countless living beings in the universe."
"In time, it will surely be known by all living beings."
The operation has been decided: proceed to the Otarian Rift.
General Warfield wanted to lead the Imperial fleet to accompany Su Bai.
But Su Bai refused.
Because the hybrid legion has already occupied the outer star systems.
Sufficient forces must be left to guard the core star system within the Empire.
Urna is unknown and mysterious.
It is highly likely that a crisis is brewing.
Leviathan and the Spear of Adun are enough.
"Unfortunately, my golden fleet no longer exists."
Artanis gazed at the lone Spear of Adun, a hint of sorrow in his eyes.
As the Dark God Amon grew stronger, many Zerg were enslaved by him.
Even the powerful Protoss cannot escape this fate.
The Golden Fleet thus ceased to exist.
...
...
Two days later.
High-risk celestial body.
Otarian Rift.
Leviathan and Adun's spear leaped forth.
"Such a magnificent sight is truly breathtaking!"
Su Bai stood in the bridge chamber of Leviathan, gazing at the magnificent celestial body before him.
Colorful and radiant.
It captivated the audience.
“Those dazzling scenes are high-energy particle streams! They look beautiful, but they are full of killing intent!” Dr. Hansen’s voice was solemn.
“Boss, the Protoss phase engineer Karax said that no creature can survive in this environment.”
Zhao Ganwu looked somewhat nervous. "We're not going to get torn to pieces the moment we go in, are we?"
An Ruoyun, Li Enzhen, Zhao Xiangtian, Bai Mengyu, and Tosh all appeared somewhat nervous.
However, the Zerg heroes did not show any signs of worry.
Because they unconditionally trusted Su Bai.
They also have a more profound understanding of death than humans do.
"We can't just barge in."
After a moment's thought, Su Bai said, "Send some King Insects, Strange Dragons, and Corruptors to go in and scout ahead."
soon.
Dozens of King Insects, Alien Dragons, and Corruptors left Leviathan and flew toward the radiant rift ahead.
Meanwhile, the Spear of Adun dispatched a small reconnaissance aircraft, which also flew towards the rift.
Ten minutes later.
The King Worm, the Strange Dragon, and the Corruptor emerged unharmed from the crack.
The Protoss's small reconnaissance aircraft also remained undamaged.
"It seems the information is incorrect," Su Bai said. "Life forms can survive inside the rift."
Leviathan and the Spear of Adun both began to move simultaneously.
Maintain a constant speed.
Slowly entering the rift. The Otarian Rift.
