Galaxy Domination Guide-Chapter 603 - 589 Plan
Bai Zhongqi lay his head on the desk, writing out his next battle plan with a fountain pen. In fact, it had been a long time since he'd written with pen and paper, having hardly even typed, as he usually just transmitted his thoughts and text would form. Technology had changed the way people lived, which in turn had further changed humanity itself.
In such a time-consuming and laborious way, Bai Zhongqi humbly went about accomplishing a task. He understood that he could not alter the relentless advance of civilization and that, even as a leader of civilization, he was likely a "discard," left behind by the wheels of progress.
By writing, he forced himself to remember the past, like the trivial matter of buying a set of pancake rolls from the night market stall behind the neighborhood, chased by urban management, or being forced to crouch at home, holding a brush and writing big characters that had no meaning at all.
Back then, whatever he did probably didn't have much of an impact; now, the dozens of glass beads he carefully packed into boxes informed him with clarity that he had halted the time of dozens of planets, dragging them out of the Second Universe, equating to the lives of hundreds of billions of people suddenly put on pause. If a thirty-year-old father had a child on another planet, with Bai Zhongqi sealing Glass Bead for over a decade, father and child might appear more like brothers.
His every decision no longer just determined the life and death of millions but affected the lives of hundreds of billions, perhaps even more civilizations. He knew he was of the Elder Race, unlike ordinary intelligent life, but as the power of his world-shaping decisions grew increasingly immense and terrifying, he became more cautious and humble.
When killing, he truly didn't blink, so it was better to blink a few more times before the act.
The study's door was pushed open without a word, and the first thing to enter was a long, attractive leg. Xu Shisan, who didn't show much respect, let alone a pleasant face, directly sat down on the chair in front of the desk and impolitely picked up Bai Zhongqi's drafted battle plan, skimming through it casually.
The beautiful and exquisite female commander of the Mercenary Corps sneered, "Is this your plan? Do you think you're writing marketing copy for a small company's street promotion? If you were my staff officer, I'd surely advise you to change careers and go home."
Bai Zhongqi actually felt quite embarrassed upon hearing this and stopped his pen, capping the fountain pen as he spoke, "This isn't an implementation plan, I'm just setting a direction."
"A lack of ability is just that, no need to make so many excuses," Xu Shisan was blunt.
She looked straight at Bai Zhongqi, and although she sat lower than him, she still managed to convey a sense of looking down from above, "This fleet of yours is worthless. A bunch of Insect Race that don't think for themselves, they rush headlong wherever you say, and even if they have some instinct for battle, it's incredibly superficial. As for your four Military Lords, they seem to have some fighting strength, but put together, they are only a thousand warships. Thrown into the current battleground, they're of no significant use."
Bai Zhongqi couldn't help but sigh lightly, "After all, I, as Chancellor, do not command the might of the United Empire's forces, nor do I command the armies of the Star Alliance. The Swarm is ultimately different."
The truth was, considering the Swarm's way of fighting, they didn't really need any brilliantly talented officer corps. When facing enemies, it's just about relying on the quantity and a variety of Enslaved Beast types coordinating together, simply clashing head-on.
Xu Shisan's gaze fell on the battle plan on the table, and he appeared to ask casually, "Do you really intend to swallow up one planet after another, searching for Xiao Yu's whereabouts?"
Bai Zhongqi shrugged his shoulders in resignation and said, "What else can I do?"
Xu Shisan was at a loss for words. Indeed, Xiao Yu was now like an eel with a strong sense of danger from aggressors, slippery and constantly on the run. Bai Zhongqi was far more capable than the Star Alliance, like a digger in LOL, drilling holes everywhere and devouring stars once he emerged. Unless the planetary defenses were thin, he would typically consume the planet and then leave, never entangling with the Star Alliance's large-scale fleets.
Even so, having consecutively devoured dozens of the Star Alliance's Administrative Stars, Bai Zhongqi had already destroyed more than ten thousand of the Star Alliance's warships, half of which were the Jinwu military ships that Xiao Yu most relied on.

The Star Alliance's military strength was indeed strong, and even though Bai Zhongqi had a sizable advantage, his losses were still significant, with over a thousand of his own ships lost, a battle casualty ratio of 10:1.
"This crude method is actually the best method right now. There are what, just over two hundred Administrative Stars in the Star Alliance? I'll consume them one by one, until the combined strength of the Star Alliance falls to its lowest. At that point, even if Xiao Yu can use the Supreme Command without any issues, the fleet he can muster will be far inferior to mine."
Xu Shisan couldn't help but jab at him, "Have you never considered that Xiao Yu might not be on any Administrative Star at all? Maybe he's set up a Shelter on some hidden, dead planet, or maybe he's drifting in the vast universe. Even if you uproot the entire Star Alliance, you still won't find Xiao Yu, and you still won't have your vengeance."
Bai Zhongqi fell silent for a moment, his fingers absent-mindedly tapping a pen on the table. He said, "You're right, there is such a possibility, but it doesn't matter. I have infinite time to trace any thread or clue, whether it's signals emitted by Star Alliance warships, or nodes passing through Stargates, as long as I capture them, he won't be able to escape. Besides, without the Star Alliance's territories, what good is the Supreme Command to him? He will just be a dog that has lost its home, a dog that will eventually be cooked."
Xu Shisan felt that this Chancellor was no longer the person she remembered from her memories, but she herself was no longer Xu Lanzhou. Xu Shisan thought for a moment and then asked, "What do you plan to do with the Star Alliance planets like Earth?"
"If Earth were to be released now, it would explode immediately. I am still figuring out how to stabilize the situation on Earth. I might have to make a trip to the Elders... well, I won't go into details with you. It's something I'll handle myself. As for the other planets, without the control of the Supreme Command, all their systems are operating normally. Although I have lost control over them, it's enough that the people on these planets submit. Until I kill Xiao Yu and reclaim the Supreme Command, I don't plan on returning these planets to the Second Universe. Actually, if I manage to reopen the First Universe, I might place them there."
Xu Shisan was startled and looked at Bai Zhongqi in disbelief, saying, "You have a way to reopen the First Universe?"
Bai Zhongqi revealed a gentle smile and said, "Yes, I am not called Chancellor because I am the Chancellor of the Star Alliance, but because I am the Chancellor of Iridium Star. I will eventually return to United Iridium Star Empire, and then, you can also go back home for a visit."
"Go back home..." Xu Shisan felt an unprecedented sense of estrangement from the word.
