"Of course, I once saw one of His servants take action, a powerful being who has served by His side for many years. With just a single strike, they wiped out an entire star system filled with Desert Worms!"

The crowd was in an uproar upon hearing this.

One strike to annihilate the Insect Race of an entire star system? What kind of power is required to achieve that? They couldn’t even dare to imagine it.

Poor Ziwei, if she were here and heard someone calling her Zhang Xiaoman’s servant, one who has served by his side for many years, she would be furious.

In the projection of the Tracking Technique, Zhang Xiaoman watched everything happening before him and found it quite amusing.

This guy Yadun, he really has a knack for bluffing people, not worse than I used to be; he’s a good seedling, worth cultivating.

However, upon reconsideration, he felt there was still a difference between them.

At least in this guy’s own view, everything he said was heartfelt truth, with no element of bluffing.

Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but shake his head; these people were overestimating him. The title of Master of the Stars was just for a ring, yet they regarded him as a Divine being; that was a bit of an exaggeration.

He was still far away from being what they called a True God.

Even if he did reach that realm, he didn’t think that would make him a god; at most, he would be a Dark Spirit possessing tremendous strength.

The so-called gods were just a title given to the strong by the weak for survival.

Within the known rules, no true god existed, as no being could achieve the perfection others perceived, therefore it couldn’t be termed as "god".

Zhang Xiaoman calmed his thoughts and continued to observe the changes before him.

On Saba Star, a group of surviving Phantom Spirits quickly agreed to Yadun’s recruitment, led by Nancy, whose chest emblem was shattered.

Nancy, as the former squad leader, still held high prestige within the group; his change of attitude caused at least a quarter of the Holy Temple Knights to join Yadun’s camp, while others were also wavering.

Then there were the ordinary people without Dark Spiritual Power talents, who didn’t care much about new gods or old gods; they only cared about who could help them survive in this apocalyptic environment.

More and more people chose to join, and the remaining hesitant ones mostly had heard Yadun’s words that the resistance team didn’t need cowards who could only avoid combat, as they had previously been the protected ones without real combat experience.

But perhaps seeing that the ordinary Phantom Spirit People brought by Yadun could also use that kind of Spiritual Energy, or maybe because most of the people around joined, eventually everyone present also changed sides.

In the end, even those Holy Temple Knights silently broke their emblems and stood behind Yadun, leaving only the Governor and his few confidants on the field.

"You! By doing this, the Void God will not forgive you!"

The Governor shook with anger.

Yadun sneered, and his words almost choked the Governor.

"If Tartaros’ wrath only dares to fall upon us, the once faithful followers, and not upon our true enemies, then what is there to be worthy of belief in such a hypocrite?"

With the reshuffle complete, Yadun successfully completed the first task Zhang Xiaoman assigned to him, leading everyone through successfully.

This was a very good start. At this pace, Zhang Xiaoman was confident that it would not be long before they could unite the remaining survivors of the Phantom Spirit Clan.

As for whether Yadun’s poaching from the Holy Hall was somewhat unscrupulous, Zhang Xiaoman wasn’t very concerned.

In such an apocalyptic situation, keeping old wounds would only allow the rot to fester; it was better to cleanly remove it, which was the most swift and effective method.

In the following period, Yadun tracked down several surviving teams through the Star Map and then used the Transmission Crystal for teleportation, incorporating them into his team.

Given the current situation, the surviving Phantom Spirits were either fleeing from insect pursuit, or struggling with harsh living conditions on some planets; none of them were doing very well.

In this context, Yadun’s refugee work became much smoother; some survivors, disappointed with the Holy Hall and the Void God, turned to the Star Alliance, while others, hating the Insect Race, wanted powerful strength to take revenge and thus decided to join.

And more survivors were ordinary people who had lost their purpose in life; after years of hiding, their lives had become numb; their only belief was to continue surviving, and Yadun was the one who could provide them with shelter, so they decided to join.

The herd effect wasn’t unique to Water Blue Star; the people of the Phantom Spirit Clan were the same.

Once most of a group joined the Star Alliance, the remaining few would no longer hesitate and follow suit.

In just a short five months, Yadun assembled hundreds of thousands of compatriots from various Survivor Camps, strengthening the Phantom Spirit’s team. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Such a number of people could not all be settled in the spaceship. Although the Hail had a specially developed space, it was not enough for tens of thousands of people to live together.

Due to the Insect Domain’s reason, Zhang Xiaoman temporarily found these people a Life Planet outside the Phantom Spirit Star System, which, through his transformation, converted the environment into one suitable for the Phantom Spirit People’s living conditions. This planet was named Karon, meaning new life in the Star Spirit language.

Subsequently, the Phantom Spirit people spent a year building their new home, establishing a small town on Karon Star that could sustain tens of thousands of people.

Despite having a new home, this group of Phantom Spirits never forgot to reclaim their homeland—the Phantom Spirit Star System.

They practiced the Combat Skills Zhang Xiaoman provided, training tirelessly day and night to hone their skills, cultivating a large batch of combat personnel.

These combat personnel were not all Dark Spirits; most were ordinary people equipped with low-level Dark Spiritual Artifacts from the Second Universe, consisting of a simple blue Armor and a Long Spear capable of long-range attacks.

Although these equipment appeared unimpressive, in fact, their value far exceeded the finest technological achievements of many basic material civilizations.

That simple blue Armor had the attribute of defending against Dark Spiritual Power attacks, which was crucial as it enabled ordinary people without any extraordinary means to engage in direct combat with Desert Worms.

And those Long Spears in their hands were even more precious; by consuming Spirit Crystals, these spears could fire Dark Spiritual Power beams, and unless methods capable of blocking Dark Spirit attacks were used, no matter how hard the Armor and metal, they would be unable to resist their penetration.

For most of the insect swarm, basic units like Scythe Insects had no Dark Spiritual armor protection; their simple use of Dark Spiritual Power was only capable of imbuing the scythes on their arms, so when faced with such ranged attacks, typically five or six could be taken out with one strike, quite effectively.

To purchase these pieces of equipment, Zhang Xiaoman scoured the trade markets within and around two star systems from Skull Star, finally managing to buy them through the recommendation of the Skull Star Governor, Bati.
