I Have an All-Knowing Mirror

Chapter 149: Using a Stellar Life Form as a Blade

The crux of Su Yuan's scheme lay in utilizing Tejia Chiyun.

As for the reward of one billion Azure Surge Coins? That was merely secondary.

"Mr. Ming, the one billion Azure Surge Coins have been transferred."

Tejia Chiyun let out a massive sigh of relief and spoke immediately.

Having collaborated a few times before, Tejia Chiyun naturally knew Su Yuan's account details.

Su Yuan glanced at his account balance and gave a slight nod.

Although one billion Azure Surge Coins was not a very large sum to him.

A mosquito may be small, but it's still meat.

Su Yuan certainly would not turn it down.

"Since you are guarding a sector of the Starry Void to guard against experts from the Source Spirit Clan, you need to know: what level of experts will they send to infiltrate the territory?"Su Yuan asked calmly.

"What level of experts would infiltrate?"

Tejia Chiyun fell into deep thought.

A Planetary Lifeform was immediately ruled out, and a Starry Sky Lifeform was also highly unlikely.

While a Post-Realm Starry Sky Lifeform certainly possessed the power to destroy stars, they would still appear insignificant in a war at the imperial level.

"A Stellar Life Form and a Cosmic Lifeform?"

Tejia Chiyun answered hesitantly.

A Cosmic Lifeform was an existence at the saint level, otherwise known as a Cosmic Saint.

"Do you really think the Source Spirit Clan would send a Cosmic Lifeform to infiltrate?" Su Yuan looked at Tejia Chiyun. "Even if they did, could you stop them? Could your Chiyun family stop them?"

A Cosmic Lifeform was an entity that had fully comprehended the supreme laws of power. Meanwhile, the strongest expert in the Chiyun family was merely at the peak of the Stellar Life Form stage.

Even if the Chiyun family mobilized the entire clan's strength, they could not impede a single Cosmic Lifeform, let alone Tejia Chiyun acting alone.

"It's a Stellar Life Form!"

Tejia Chiyun finally realized the truth.

"Correct."

Su Yuan nodded.

"If the Source Spirit Clan truly sends their experts to infiltrate, it could only be a Stellar Life Form."

Su Yuan explained.

This conclusion was very easy to deduce.

"Therefore, I only need to prepare myself to face an infiltrating Stellar Life Form."

Su Yuan looked at Tejia Chiyun.

"I understand."

A bright smile surfaced on Tejia Chiyun's face.

No matter the situation, the unknown was always the most terrifying.

Now that he knew the exact Life Level of the infiltrating experts from the Source Spirit Clan, things would be much easier to handle.

"Thus, you need to mobilize these technological weapons from your family. It would be best to invite a Stellar Life Form to oversee that sector of the Starry Void to ensure absolute stability."

Su Yuan instructed.

The technological weapons he mentioned were specifically designed to restrict a Stellar Life Form.

"No problem."

Tejia Chiyun nodded immediately.

With his current status, requisitioning the technological weapons Su Yuan requested was not difficult at all. As for inviting a Stellar Life Form to hold the fort?

As the son of the Patriarch, that was equally simple to arrange.

"Good. Go and prepare,"

Su Yuan dismissed him.

"Understood."

Tejia Chiyun immediately stood up and took his leave.

Before coming here, he had been full of confusion and anxiety, entirely unsure of what he should do.

But now? The objectives and concrete steps were set; he simply needed to execute them. Naturally, Tejia Chiyun felt incredibly relaxed.

'No matter what the issue is, the moment it reaches Mr. Ming, it becomes completely simple.'

Tejia Chiyun thought to himself as he began applying for the various technological weapons from his family.

Meanwhile, within the Chiyun family.

The Patriarch, Doubei Chiyun, wore a faintly solemn expression.

"The sector of the Starry Void the empire has tasked our Chiyun family to guard..." Doubei Chiyun muttered, staring at the star map before him.

As a noble family within the Azure Surge Universal Human Empire, the Chiyun family was obligated to obey imperial commands at all times.

"Hm? Tejia applied for these technological weapons? And he's requesting a Stellar Life Form to oversee the region?" Patriarch Doubei Chiyun paused in mild surprise before nodding in approval. "Not bad."

As the Patriarch of the Chiyun family, he naturally had access to far more intelligence. The family's strategists had already analyzed the Source Spirit Clan's likely next moves.

Among their predictions, the Life Level of the infiltrating experts was also pinned precisely at the Stellar Life Form tier.

Meanwhile, the technological weapons Tejia Chiyun applied for were perfectly tailored against a Stellar Life Form—neither overkill nor insufficient, neither too many nor too few.

'There must be a strategist standing behind Tejia, a strategist from outside the family,' Patriarch Doubei Chiyun thought to himself.

In truth, this could easily be deduced from the previous family assessment.

Both the Grand Elders of the family and he, the Patriarch, speculated that Tejia Chiyun had an advisor pulling the strings from the shadows.

This was not at all strange. It was perfectly normal for family members to befriend external experts or strategists.

Doubei Chiyun himself had relied on external forces to secure the Patriarch's seat in the past.

'I wonder just who this strategist behind Tejia really is...'

Doubei Chiyun looked thoughtful. He knew every slightly famous strategist within the Azure Surge Universal Human Empire.

However, this advisor behind Tejia Chiyun possessed an airtight operational style, crafting schemes without a single flaw or hidden danger. He had never heard of such a person before.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, a month slipped by.

Within a Personal Space in the Virtual Network.

Tejia Chiyun was currently reporting the status of his guarded star sector to Su Yuan.

"Everything is normal for now. There are no traces of any experts from the Source Spirit Clan," Tejia Chiyun reported. "However, over the past few days, Source Spirit Clan experts have been spotted in other sectors..."

Su Yuan listened quietly without uttering a word.

'They are here.'

Su Yuan's gaze deepened as he thought to himself. Meanwhile, within a freezing sector of the Starry Void.

Suddenly, a massive swath of space was torn open, and a colossal figure stumbled out from within.

'Human experts...'

This gargantuan figure was precisely a Stellar Life Form of the Source Spirit Clan. Just a few days after infiltrating the empire's Territory, he had been discovered.

What followed was an endless, relentless pursuit by human experts.

If this massive entity had not been highly skilled in the arts of escape, he would have undoubtedly perished long ago.

'The damage to my Physical Body has reached forty percent. I must devour enough energy to recover, otherwise, I won't be able to escape much further.'

A sense of profound urgency surged in the colossal figure's heart. The restorative items he carried had been exhausted entirely.

'Are there any life-bearing planets or resource planets nearby?'

The massive entity swept his gaze in all directions.

When it came to replenishing himself, a life-bearing planet was undoubtedly the best option. Countless living beings resided on such planets, and to this massive figure, those lives represented abundant, pure energy capable of drastically healing his wounds.

Alternatively, a resource planet would also suffice.

'There is nothing within tens of thousands of light-years!'

A look of intense disappointment washed over the colossal figure.

This was perfectly normal. The Universe was boundlessly vast, and almost every region was merely empty Starry Void.

Beep-beep-beep—

Not long after the massive entity arrived, a silent, invisible fluctuation swept across the entire region in an instant.

"Damn it!"

The colossal figure immediately realized that human detection technology had already located him.

If he did not leave immediately, human experts would rapidly descend upon him once more.

Back in the Virtual Network, Tejia Chiyun, who was mid-report with Su Yuan, suddenly experienced a drastic change in expression.

As the guardian of that star sector, he received immediate notification the second the aura of an Alien Race Stellar Life Form appeared within his jurisdiction.

"Mr. Ming, a Stellar Life Form of the Source Spirit Clan has appeared in the sector I am guarding."

Tejia Chiyun quickly looked at Su Yuan.

At this moment, his heart swelled with immense relief and fortune. He hadn't expected to actually encounter an infiltrating expert from the Source Spirit Clan.

"Do not panic."

Su Yuan, having long awaited this very moment, instructed calmly, "Contact the Chiyun family immediately and inform them of this matter. Then, activate the spatial stasis technology along the borders of the star sector."

This spatial stasis technology completely locked down a designated area of space, effectively preventing a Stellar Life Form from utilizing spatial traversal.

A Stellar Life Form could traverse through space, instantly crossing thousands or even tens of thousands of light-years.

The spatial stasis technology served as a direct countermeasure. If space were likened to flowing water, then the stasis technology was a massive net. As the Stellar Life Form attempted to ride the currents through space, they would inevitably be caught by this enormous net.

"Understood."

Tejia Chiyun nodded.

"Do not completely seal the spatial stasis. Leave an opening."

Su Yuan opened the star map and drew a circle around a particular star sector, intentionally leaving a gap in the southeast region.

"Don't completely seal it?"

Tejia Chiyun was slightly taken aback.

Su Yuan shot him a glance and simply said, "A cornered beast fights the hardest."

"You're right."

Tejia Chiyun was struck by a sudden realization.

If they imposed a total blockade and covered the entire perimeter with spatial stasis technology.

It would be tantamount to forcing that Source Spirit Clan Stellar Life Form into an absolute dead end.

When that happened, who knew what desperate methods the enemy might unleash?

However, leaving a single opening would give the enemy a glimmer of hope.

Furthermore, as the enemy fled through this deliberate gap, Tejia Chiyun would know their exact escape trajectory. By truthfully reporting this to his family, he would have successfully fulfilled his duty.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Ming."

Tejia Chiyun expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Su Yuan said nothing in return.

In truth, his remark about a 'cornered beast fighting the hardest' was nothing more than a superficial excuse.

Worrying about a cornered beast meant fearing that the Stellar Life Form might possess unused trump cards and risking mutual destruction.

But how could Su Yuan not know what methods the enemy possessed?

That particular Source Spirit Clan Stellar Life Form simply did not have any means of mutual destruction.

Su Yuan's true motive was to subtly herd that Stellar Life Form toward the southeast.

And given the enemy's terrifying escape speed.

After executing a dozen or so spatial jumps toward the southeast, they would arrive precisely near the Multi-eyed Clan Homeworld.

Beneath the cold, dark expanse of the Starry Void.

Upon realizing he had been discovered, the massive figure immediately attempted a spatial traversal to flee the area.

'Hm?'

'The space is frozen in stasis?'

The colossal figure extended his senses in all directions, only to find that the spatial fabric along the edges of this star sector had completely solidified, rendering spatial traversal impossible.

'The space to the southeast hasn't fully solidified yet.'

A look of joy crossed the colossal figure's face, and without a moment's hesitation, he executed a spatial shift toward the southeast.

'Run! Run! Run!'

After executing over a dozen consecutive spatial traversals, the colossal figure materialized beneath another stretch of the Starry Void.

Just as he prepared to initiate yet another spatial jump, his expression suddenly shifted as he gazed into the distance.

Several hundred light-years away, a massive Star System stretched across the void. This system was orbited by three suns, and several of its planets overflowed with the vibrant aura of life.

'Life-bearing planets? Planets teeming with massive amounts of life?'

The colossal figure's heart leaped with joy. Taking a single colossal stride, he instantly appeared near the trinary Star System.

He then opened his gaping maw and inhaled violently toward the several life-bearing planets within the trinary Star System.

"The Multi-eyed Clan has been annihilated."

Far away on Bluestar, Su Yuan sat cross-legged. Having already disconnected from the Virtual Network, he gazed deeply toward the direction of the Multi-eyed Clan Homeworld.
