The formation in the Battle Plains Space had already been modified by the Xunyin Tribe and the Wuxing Tribe, so Yuan Xiang had no control over this third space and was even unaware of the situation inside.
As a result, Yuan Xiang couldn't provide any assistance to Lin Qian!
Here, Lin Qian could only rely on himself and the Huaxia Empire, but that was more than enough.
Lin Qian had already deceived Bai Qi and Wu Lian into drinking the Truth Serum, thinking it was poison.
When he saw Bai Qi and Wu Lian sacrifice themselves to drink what they believed to be poison, Lin Qian's face revealed a triumphant smile. He obtained a great deal of valuable intelligence from them.
Among the intelligence was the distribution of cities within this Battle Plains Space and the number of Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe members present.
Over seventy million members of the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe lived in this small world. Since entering, they had never left.
In fact, both male and female members of the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe had begun to reproduce and multiply within this small world, steadily increasing their population.
If the second space wasn't still under Yuan Xiang's control, with its heavily restricted portal, the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe might have already sent more people to capture the geniuses of the Human and Sea Tribes by force.
Currently, the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe were still trying to break the formation guarding the Heart of the World. Only those in the Life and Death Realm could enter, and very few in the Awakening Realm had succeeded.
Therefore, the process of breaking the formation was very slow. However, due to the weakened state of Yuan Xiang's imprint and the damaged state of the formation, it was not invulnerable.
The Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe were slowly wearing down the formation, like water wearing away stone, trying to erase the protective formation Yuan Xiang had set up in the past.
After obtaining the necessary intelligence, Lin Qian unhesitatingly executed Bai Qi and Wu Lian. Since they no longer had any value, there was no need to keep them alive.
As Lin Qian said, his Huaxia Empire had already started a war with the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe. To conquer this small world, there was no room for unnecessary mercy.
"Over seventy million in the Life and Death Realm is not a small number." Yuan Xiang, who had heard the intelligence, shook his head secretly. He hadn't expected that so many members of alien tribes had already entered this small world.
After his moment of reflection, Yuan Xiang couldn't help but glance around.
The portal leading to the second space, along with the surrounding cities built by the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe, had been completely taken over by Lin Qian.
Lin Qian summoned a group of scholars from the Tiangong Department, along with male artisans from the Huogong Department. The two groups worked together to transform the city, including the portal.
The bloodstains from previous battles had been completely cleaned, and the alien bodies, after being doused with crimson liquid, were instantly burned to ashes and buried outside the city.
The damaged buildings from the battle were also repaired. As for the belongings of the alien tribes and the items within the city, they were naturally confiscated by Lin Qian into the Huaxia Empire's treasury.
Every little bit counts, and Lin Qian wouldn't overlook any wealth, no matter how small.
The entire city was gradually being transformed, falling entirely under Lin Qian's control. The portal leading to the second space had been completely modified, allowing unrestricted access.
Some scholars from the Tiangong Department returned to the second space and set up an illusion formation, merely to confuse anyone trying to approach the portal without causing any significant harm.
The sudden appearance of these people made Yuan Xiang very curious. How many more people could Lin Qian summon?
Despite the alien tribes numbering seventy million, Yuan Xiang suspected that Lin Qian might be able to summon an army of equal size.
In fact, Yuan Xiang was right. If Lin Qian wished, summoning an army of seventy million was a simple task.
However, Lin Qian was in no rush to crush the opposition with a massive army. Since he had decided to launch a full-scale war against the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe, he wanted to be thoroughly prepared.
Only by doing so could he minimize losses.
Lin Qian aimed to win this small world with the most reasonable and minimal use of troops, with the fastest and least costly strategy.
"Senior, how are the arrangements going?" Lin Qian asked when he saw Yuan Xiang return.
Upon hearing Lin Qian's question, Yuan Xiang nodded and said, "Don't worry. They've started the human trials now, but they'll only reach the place where they can exchange treasures. They won't go to the Heart of the World."
Hearing this, Lin Qian felt relieved. Since Ye Xin and the others could enjoy their trials in peace, he could focus on the war with the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe.
With Zhao Long around, Lin Qian was confident in Ye Xin's safety. Moreover, Li Yunfeng and the others were also there, ensuring that they would work together and look out for each other.
Lin Qian didn't want Ye Xin to be involved in this war, as the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe had Awakening Realm powerhouses among them.
The Awakening Realm alien experts were an unpredictable factor. If anything unexpected happened, Lin Qian could still retreat into the Huaxia Empire, but what about Ye Xin if she was by his side and in danger?
If he were 100% certain of victory in this war, he wouldn't mind having Ye Xin by his side. But right now, things were uncertain.
At this moment, Yuan Xiang was also observing the constantly changing city with curiosity and glanced at Lin Qian, saying, "I really want to know how many more people you can bring out and how many more miraculous tools you can produce."
If Yuan Xiang had been worried about Lin Qian's situation at the beginning, now he was only curious and full of anticipation.
Lin Qian was truly extraordinary, constantly surprising and amazing him. He was even beginning to wonder if Lin Qian could really defeat the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe.
The Tiangong Department wasn't in a hurry to establish themselves; command and data analysis were directly handed over to the headquarters of the Huaxia Empire. After all, their presence here wouldn't affect the war's command.
The city's formation and portal had been fully modified, and the scholars and artisans continued to patrol the city to ensure nothing went wrong.
The Gale Force's thousand-strong team had already left the city, spreading out to gather valuable intelligence and laying the groundwork for the upcoming war.
Although Bai Qi and Wu Lian's intelligence had revealed the approximate locations of the Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe's cities on the tactical map, they were only rough estimates.
To pinpoint the exact locations of the cities on the tactical map, the Gale Force's reconnaissance was indispensable.
On the Xuanyuan Star, preparations for the resources needed for a full-scale war had already begun.
Once the Gale Force's reconnaissance was complete, the real war would begin.
The Xunyin Tribe and Wuxing Tribe would be the first to experience the overwhelming power of the Huaxia Empire and understand what it meant to be utterly crushed!
