Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

Lin Chen, Demon Ancestor, and Dragon Ancestor stood up at the same time and greeted the audience below.

The applause lasted for several breaths, longer than any it had been at the start of the rally.

The voice gradually subsided only after Capricorn raised his hand in a gesture.

Capricorn stood on the platform and continued the meeting agenda: "Now let's discuss the formation of the War Council. In principle, each clan will have one or two representatives, and the three progenitors will have a veto right. Battlefield deployments will be decided by the council through joint discussion."

Then, his gaze swept across the audience: "Any objections may be raised now."

A murmur arose from the audience, but there was no opposition.

Representatives from various ethnic groups began to be elected, and the parliament was eventually approved to have 20,000 members.

"All races" is just a general term; the actual number of races participating in the war far exceeds this number. There are also some smaller races that did not have god-level powerhouses or the ability to travel between stars and therefore did not participate.

Those who can reach Yunfu Star must at least have the ability to travel across star systems.

The human race sent two people: Li Ya, and Commander Peng, whom Lin Chen had specially recruited.

The 20,000 people, along with Lin Chen, the Demon Ancestor, and the Dragon Ancestor, entered the parliament building and took their seats in a giant conference room.

Capricorn continued presiding, raising his hand to signal for silence: "The War Council has been established, capable of broadly representing the common will of all races. However, to improve efficiency, Lord Lin Chen suggests establishing a Standing Council within the Council. You may discuss this further."

Qiming was the first to stand up: "I support it. In this emergency, a vote with 20,000 people is too slow."

The old dwarf of the Flame Clan nodded, "We really should improve efficiency." After the other race representatives discussed it, no one objected.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Capricorn didn't waste any time and moved directly to the next item: "One hundred seats on the Standing Council, with a term of one hundred years. If a member falls during the term, the race may send someone to fill the vacancy. Everyone has a voting device at hand; the top one hundred votes will be elected. Let's begin."

The voting ended quickly.

Representatives from the Human Race, Demon Race, and Dragon Race were all admitted to the Standing Council.

There is no controversy regarding the inclusion of the human race; in terms of population, the human race has at most one seat.

However, in terms of combat power, with Lin Chen, a tenth-level expert, in charge, and an army of 120,000 well-organized ninth-level troops, no other race besides the dragons and demons can compare.

Parliament then began discussing the troop allocation and deployment plan for the first military expedition...

Three days have passed by the time all the issues are settled.

After the meeting, the forces of all races were reorganized into three major fleets and launched an attack on the Divine Realm simultaneously.

The first formation, commanded by Commander Peng and assisted by Li Ya, was targeting Feiyu Star.

The second squadron, commanded by Capricorn, was headed for Tass.

The third squadron, commanded by Elder Longshan of the Dragon Clan, was headed for Qinghui Star.

The Demon Ancestor and the Dragon Ancestor then traveled to Venaya Star to reunite with Lin Chen's true form.

Beyond the star Yunfu, ships of all races are already in position.

Standing at the edge of the harbor, Lin Chen instructed Li Ya and the others: "Xiao Ya, Sister Yun, be careful on the front lines, and prioritize your safety."

Li Ya nodded: "Don't worry."

Su Yun nodded without saying anything.

Jiang Yingyue patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, husband. My sister and I have a very strong life-saving law now. We won't let anything happen to Ya Jie and the others."

Lin Chen smiled and reached out to pat her head. "Then I'm leaving."

He then turned around, tore open a spatial rift, and left with the Demon Ancestor and the Dragon Ancestor.

Not long after the three left, Li Ya boarded the command ship.

Commander Peng and the Elf Queen were already waiting on the bridge. The warship they were using was the flagship of the Elf race, and its combat power was no less than that of the main warships of the Demon and Dragon races.

Li Ya walked onto the bridge and gave the two men an apologetic bow: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Commander Peng laughed heartily: "We don't know how long this battle will last. It's normal for young people to say goodbye to each other while living apart."

The Elf Queen stood to the side, her gaze sweeping over Li Ya and the others, smiling and nodding without saying a word.

On the outer orbit of Yunfu Star, the ship lights lit up sequentially along the formation, forming three parallel light bands that spread out in different directions.

Li Ya sat down opposite Commander Peng: "The fleet is ready and can depart."

Commander Peng nodded and turned to the communications station: "First formation, depart. Maintain formation spacing and proceed along the planned route."

Outside the port, the first batch of ships had already begun to move.

Li Ya sat down in the deputy command seat next to him, her gaze fixed on the main star map in front of her. She didn't say anything, but just watched the rhythm and order in which he issued the commands.

News of the conference of all races quickly reached the gods.

The entire Divine Realm was already on high alert, with all star systems entering a state of combat readiness, and emergency mobilization orders covering all stationed areas.

But the higher-ups knew that the outcome of this war was already predetermined from the very beginning.

Ancestral Star, the Great Hall of the First Ancestor.

The ten founding ancestors sat on either side, and the silence in the hall lasted for a long time, with no one speaking first.

After a long silence, Li Zu's gaze swept over everyone before he finally spoke: "Second brother, is everything ready?"

The Devouring Ancestor nodded: "The mobilization is complete, and defenses are being set up at all points. Non-combat personnel are being evacuated in batches from the three outer star systems, and it is expected that the transfer will be completed in some time."

Li Zu nodded: "Tell them that they can only rely on themselves in this war. Lin Chen is guarding outside the ancestral star, and we cannot provide any support."

The Devouring Ancestor paused for a moment, then nodded.

Li Zu closed his eyes, paused for a moment, and then spoke in a low voice: "If we can't hold out, let them retreat. There's no need to hold out to the death."

Guangzu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Boss, with the current number of the God Race, the Ancestral Starfield simply can't contain them all. At least seven or eight tenths of the God Race population will have to be scattered outside the God Realm..."

Guangzu didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

Lin Chen and others have already announced that they will drive the God Race back to the Ancestral Starfield, as the Ancestral Starfield can only accommodate 20% of their population.

The other 80% will either become prisoners of war or die.

The silence in the hall grew even heavier than before.

Li Zu did not answer; he closed his eyes and simply sat quietly in place.

These gods were raised and nurtured by them. Although they were not their direct bloodline, they carried the emotions and efforts of countless billions of years. It was not something they could simply let go of.

But now, surrounded by powerful enemies, he has no way to deal with it.

What goes around comes around; no one escapes the wrath of Heaven!
