Based on the Emperor's expression, this civilization must have something that concerns him, which is why he has this demeanor.

When it comes to strength, it can be excluded, as with the power of that civilization, even she doesn't regard it highly, so how could the Gemini Civilization possibly worry?

The Planet Fortress Fleet she once saw could easily annihilate this civilization.

But if it's not about strength...

Could it be that there's a problem with this civilization's faith-related knowledge?

Bai Yi immediately recalled the Emperor's expression when she recently asked him about faith-related information.

Is there any correlation between the two? Has the power system of this civilization overlapped with the Emperor's own research?

Often, the answer to a question doesn't require a response; simply observing the Emperor's expression reveals much.

It seems the importance placed on that civilization needs to be increased...

"Is there any issue with the plan? Does it need modification, or should we abandon this opportunity?"

Not until Bai Yi reminded him again did the Emperor seem to end his thoughts, immediately saying:

"No, there's no need for change.

I just didn't expect that a civilization based predominantly on the faith system would appear after we had curbed it in the starry sky for so long.

A faith system-based civilization existing means it's opposing the Three Great Civilizations!"

With a sharp turn in his thoughts, the Emperor quickly found a seemingly reasonable explanation.

It just dawned on him that if he suddenly changed the plan, it would appear even more suspicious.

Especially since Fan Mao recently asked about the related information, if he showed too much concern, it would definitely attract attention.

Despite valuing Fan Mao, he is ultimately an outsider.

After the betrayal by Hunter from the Martial Cultivation Association and the Great Mage, he doesn't intend to share this secret.

Moreover, the importance of this civilization is not just clear to him.

If exposed to the other two civilizations, it would inevitably trigger more significant conflict and chaos, possibly leaking related intelligence externally due to the chaos of contention.

Only by maintaining the original secret actions can the matter be concealed within the Gemini Civilization!

In fact, to keep it confidential from the other two civilizations, he can't even use normal military forces.

The best outcome is still to utilize the current Fan Mao to handle everything.

Quietly capturing this civilization, it's not about shooting!

Having clarified his thoughts, the Emperor continued with a solemn expression and said righteously:

"Such a civilization cannot exist in the starry sky!

All plans will proceed as originally planned. I will assist you in bringing Hunter over under the guise of discovering a powerful local Transcendent civilization and work with you to quickly eliminate him.

Afterward, this civilization must be completely eradicated promptly!

Yes, actions must be strictly confidential. The matter of attacking one's own must not be exposed. His death must be maintained as occurring during conflict with an enemy civilization on the surface."

The Emperor supplemented, emphasizing the need for confidentiality.

However, he didn't know that upon hearing this response, Bai Yi increasingly confirmed her suspicions.

Ha, what confidentiality due to attacking one's own, this is clearly an attempt to keep the situation of that civilization secret!

But this thought remained just in her mind; even if she knew, she couldn't speak it aloud.

"Understood, I'll start arranging the feigned attack now."

Agreeing to the Emperor's conditions, disconnecting communications, Bai Yi's lips immediately curled, and a hint of a smile flashed.

That civilization is definitely related to the faith-related knowledge the Gemini Civilization possesses!

From the Emperor's counter-question earlier...

Is the knowledge currently preserved by the Gemini focused on faith for becoming gods?

Yes, following the panel's guidance, contact with faith-related matters begins after the 8th Rank.

At least it proves that the path of gathering faith is one of the roads after the 8th Rank, at least it's one feasible path among them.

If the Three Great Civilizations have been secretly researching this knowledge, Bai Yi can understand it.

Given the current starry sky situation, even the suppression of other God believers is likely to be for related research, to eliminate competitors.

If such antics are exposed, it truly would be unseemly.

Even she knows that if the believers providing faith have inclinations, the offered faith will exhibit clear biases, and it might even change the state of the Gods.

In order to gain faith in the future, the Three Great Civilizations obviously cannot present too negative an image.

However, it seems now that neither the Gemini Civilization nor the Three Great Civilizations have delved deeply into this research yet, at least not to the extent that it can be applied at the 8th Rank.

So when she mentioned that civilization mastering faith system powerhouses at the 8th Rank, it caused such surprise.

Having confirmed this point, Bai Yi increasingly valued the knowledge within that civilization.

She must also seize a copy for herself!

Thinking of this, Bai Yi immersed her consciousness into the network, projecting her awareness before Lunning. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Lunning, how are things on your side?"

"Your Highness, I just assembled the personnel as per your previous instructions. Any further commands?"

Seeing Bai Yi suddenly arrive, Lunning was somewhat surprised but immediately responded, sharing all previous preparations.

Following her orders when leaving that colonial planet, Lunning has gathered a group of a hundred-member squad, including witches and Undead.

Prepared to infiltrate the Divine Authority civilization before the battle and start collecting various intelligence from within.

But now, after learning from the Emperor about the importance Gemini Civilization places, the original preparation is definitely inadequate!
