This sudden hunch was by no means groundless; it was a form of precognition for a Cultivator who practiced the Great Dao of Destiny.
After pondering for a moment, Han Xuanji stood up, cupped his hands, and spoke in a respectful yet firm tone:
"True God, this Junior has a question. If we abandon the 'bloodletting' method and engage this Hongmeng Giant Kun directly, given everyone's strength, what would be the outcome?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the main control room instantly quieted down. True God Heiyan was also somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting this seemingly steady young Cultivator to suddenly pose such a question.
He was silent for a moment, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest of the captain's seat, and he said slowly:
"If we engage directly, we will naturally win.
However, this Hongmeng Giant Kun is, after all, an alien species of the eternal true god realm, with an incredibly formidable Physical Body. If we engage directly, while we could win, we would suffer significant losses, and the warship might also be damaged. It would be a loss that outweighs the gain."
Just as True God Heiyan finished speaking, a young Cultivator standing behind him, dressed in gray armor, stepped forward, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance:
"This Fellow Daoist is overthinking it. My Heiyan Fleet is the elite of the Eternal Chamber of Commerce, with countless Powerful Experts under our command and a True God overseeing us. Even if we were to directly engage the Hongmeng Giant Kun, we would have nothing to fear!
It's just that the True God's method is the most secure and causes the least loss; there is simply no need to take unnecessary risks."
The implication was nothing less than mocking Han Xuanji for knowing nothing.
Han Xuanji quickly cupped his hands to explain, his tone sincere:
"Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood. This Junior is by no means doubting everyone's strength; I just feel that it would be best to hunt this Hongmeng Giant Kun as soon as possible."
His words left everyone looking confused, and even Hun Qianling was somewhat surprised, turning her head to look at Han Xuanji with eyes full of bewilderment.
Han Xuanji had always been steady and never sought to show off. Why was he speaking so much in front of True God Heiyan today, even questioning the True God's decision?
Han Xuanji sensed the dissatisfaction and confusion in everyone's eyes and knew that if he continued to be cryptic, it would likely cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he quickly spoke to explain:
"Fellow Daoists, to tell you the truth, just now when we were at the docking site, I sensed that although this Hongmeng Giant Kun is heavily injured and its aura is withered, it has been secretly transmitting an extremely subtle signal.
I suspect that it is summoning its own kind. If those powerful Primordial Chaos Alien Species of the same level as it are summoned here, we will be attacked from both sides, and something unexpected might happen."
In truth, Han Xuanji did not want to show off like this, nor did he want to question True God Heiyan's decision, but he really dared not gamble.
If they really delayed for ten years and a powerful Primordial Chaos Alien Species was actually summoned, True God Heiyan might be able to protect himself, but he and Hun Qianling would likely become cannon fodder. By then, let alone reaching the Eternal Continent, whether they could even survive would be an unknown.
He was doing this, ultimately, for self-preservation, fearing that he might be dragged into an unnecessary crisis.
Once Han Xuanji's words were spoken, the main control room instantly fell into deep thought. The Cultivators present were all seasoned Powerful Experts and not stubborn people; they naturally understood that the risk Han Xuanji mentioned was by no means groundless.
Although Primordial Chaos Alien Species are basically solitary, this Hongmeng Giant Kun is indeed somewhat different and relatively united. If they were really summoned here, the consequences would be unimaginable.
True God Heiyan's expression also became grave. He was silent for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice toward the console:
"Where are the analysts?"
A moment later, three Cultivators dressed in white robes, whose aura reached the Eternal Dao Master Realm, hurried over. They were analysts from the Eternal Chamber of Commerce who specialized in studying Primordial Chaos Alien Species, having spent years researching the habits and behaviors of various Primordial Chaos Alien Species, and were highly experienced.
After the three of them cupped their hands and bowed to True God Heiyan, they waited quietly for instructions.
"Just now, this little brother said that this Hongmeng Giant Kun is transmitting a signal to summon its own kind. How likely is this?"
True God Heiyan asked in a deep voice.
The lead analyst pondered for a moment and slowly replied:
"Reporting to the True God, what this Fellow Daoist said is indeed possible.
According to past experience in hunting Hongmeng Giant Kuns, this type of Kun often travels in groups, but these Kuns are mostly in the dangerous areas of the Hongmeng Sea. In the safe zones, the number of such large Primordial Chaos Alien Species is already small, and most of them move separately. Even if it is really summoning its own kind, it may not necessarily attract any Powerful Experts; there shouldn't be too much of a problem."
This ambiguous answer made True God Heiyan's brows furrow instantly, his expression clearly showing some displeasure.
He had always been cautious in his actions and disliked such uncertain answers as "may not" and "shouldn't". If an accident really occurred, the entire fleet could fall into crisis.
Just at this moment, a Powerful Expert dressed in silver armor, whose aura reached the Peak of the Eternal True Lord realm, stepped forward. His gaze fell upon Han Xuanji, his tone carrying a hint of doubt and scrutiny:
"Fellow Daoist Han, we have all been dealing with Primordial Chaos Alien Species for years, yet we haven't sensed this subtle signal. You are merely an Eternal Dao Lord; how were you able to sense it? Please clarify, Fellow Daoist."
Clearly, this was somewhat suspecting that Han Xuanji was speaking nonsense without evidence, or perhaps using this to claim credit.
At the same time, an old man wearing a white robe had a glint in his eyes and said slowly:
"Little friend, one cannot speak nonsense. Although True God Heiyan is easy to talk to, you cannot randomly fabricate things to fool us..."
Han Xuanji felt helpless in his heart, knowing that this matter could not be concealed after all, and could only say truthfully:
"This Senior may not know, but this Junior Cultivates the Dao of Laws, and I have realized both the Space-Time and Destiny Daos. Coupled with the fact that I have Cultivated a Divine Soul secret technique, I am more sensitive to these kinds of subtle signals than ordinary people. I only noticed it inadvertently just now."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the main control room was startled, their faces showing expressions of disbelief.
True God Heiyan even leaned forward slightly, and for the first time, a genuine look of being moved appeared in his eyes.
The Space-Time and Destiny Daos are the most profound and difficult Laws to realize in the eternal realm. Even for the Prodigies of the Nine Supreme Powers, being able to realize one of them is already a sign of extraordinary talent. Han Xuanji is only at the Eternal Dao Lord cultivation level, yet he is able to realize both at the same time; this Comprehension Ability and Opportunity are simply incredible.
Beside him, Hun Qianling's gaze toward Han Xuanji was filled with shock, and her heart was churning with great waves.
She had traveled with Han Xuanji for so many years, and although she knew his talent was extraordinary, she had never imagined that he possessed such terrifying attainments in the Laws.
In fact, there was one thing Han Xuanji did not know. On the Eternal Continent, there are thousands upon thousands of paths to Cultivate, and not all Cultivators are obsessed with the Dao of Laws.
