"All warriors, enter the protection pods."
[Protection pods activated. All personnel have boarded.]
"Super divine artifact, Planar Gate, activate."
[Activation in progress... Activation complete. Automatic status scan in progress... Status: No abnormalities. Awaiting your command, Master.]
"Lock transmission coordinates: Magic War Planet."
{T/N: The original name is 'Mo Zhan Xing', I didn't have a preference so I just translated it to English.}
[Target locked.]
As the commands were issued one after another, although Ye Wen had gone through this process several times before, this time he was a little nervous about taking such a large group of people across.
"Activate the Planar Gate."
[Divine power being drawn... Spatial channel constructed. Have a pleasant journey.]
At this moment, the Planar Gate, which was originally a pale golden color, suddenly emitted a dazzling white light. Ye Wen felt a sudden sensation of weightlessness, and when he came to his senses, he found himself above a new planet.
This was the target of their expedition: Magic War Planet.
A world of magic and martial energy.
After previous investigations, Ye Wen had thoroughly understood the rules of this world and its inherent corruption.
Ye Wen coldly gazed at the planet below. "Let this decaying world be reborn."
As Ye Wen's personal flagship, the Vast Sea, disappeared, frenzied cheers erupted on Douluo Star.
The true tide of the era had begun.
Although Ye Wen was now hundreds of light-years away on another planet, he had not lost contact with Douluo Star.
Through special communication devices, Ye Wen had long achieved brief delayed interstellar communication.
Of course, it also owed much to the many geniuses who had emerged over the past millennium. Under Ye Wen's guidance, they had each blossomed into their own brilliance; otherwise, Ye Wen would have struggled to manage everything.
At this moment, everyone on Douluo Star was glued to the screens. Although novels often depicted other worlds, this was the first time they had seen a living, breathing otherworldly realm.
At this moment, a voice came from the screen:
[Vast Sea has reached the designated position. Gravity balance device activated.
Divine power shield entering energy-saving mode.
Beginning construction of detection barrier.
Commencing spatial pinpointing of the target planet.
Spatial teleportation channel constructed.]
Though it was just a monotone mechanical voice, it filled everyone back on Douluo Star with excitement. This mechanical marvel was the pride of their era.
[Ding—
Basic Expedition Support Program completed. Awaiting further instructions, Master.]
Ye Wen calmly nodded.
As Ye Wen had always believed, war was no game. Every soul master was a precious treasure under his care, and their lives must not be neglected due to the commander's carelessness. That was why these basic expedition safeguards were in place.
Even with god-level combat power, the enemy was an entire planet. Rushing in recklessly without a plan would show disrespect for both sides.
The primary goal of initiating an interplanar expedition was not just the resources of the opposing planet but, more importantly, faith.
Careless actions could lead to a disastrous start.
"Open the protection pods," Ye Wen ordered calmly.
Forcing open a teleportation channel in this universe, Ye Wen's physical strength naturally allowed him to withstand the spatial pressure, but the non-divine level soul masters weren't as resilient.
Thus, the divine power shield was activated before the spaceship launched, ensuring maximum safety for both the ship and the soul masters aboard.
One by one, the capsule-like protection pods opened, and all the soul masters heard a mechanical voice in their ears:
[Respected Soul Master, greetings. The Vast Sea has arrived at the destination of this voyage, Magic War Planet. Please proceed to the first teleportation platform for assembly.]
All the soul masters silently headed to the gathering point, quickly forming perfect formations.
Ye Wen nodded in satisfaction. Compared to the disorganized armies of the old era, the military forces of Douluo Star had transformed entirely into a modern army under Ye Wen's reforms.
Even Ye Wen himself exuded a stern aura at this moment.
"Enough talk. You've already been provided with detailed information about the objectives of this expedition.
So when the battle begins, I hope none of you will let carelessness get you killed in a foreign land.
Though there are benefits like resurrection through military merit, remember that none of you currently possess any achievements from frontier wars. Even completing this interplanar expedition won't be enough to cover the cost of a single resurrection. Therefore, I urge all of you to be cautious."
Then Ye Wen activated the screen, displaying a high-altitude map.
"This is our target: the capital of the Corgi Empire. I want you to capture it immediately.
Now, don your armor!"
{T/N: The translation is literally Corgi. I can't make this up lmao}
In an instant, all the soul masters present donned crimson-colored battle armors, though each had slight differences.
After all, they were elite troops. Each person wore their own exclusive divine armor, not mass-produced generic battle armor.
However, multicolored military uniforms were deemed inappropriate, so Ye Wen unified all the colors of the battle armors.
Crimson armor symbolizing revolution.
Ye Wen had thoroughly investigated this war. He had stripped bare the combat system of this planet to ensure that these soul masters would achieve a glorious victory in their first expedition.
Magic War Planet's cultivation system was firmly rooted in magic and martial energy.
Everyone understood magic—if one couldn't cast spells instantly, then once they were approached, they became sitting ducks.
Martial energy wasn't difficult to understand either. Moreover, the martial energy cultivation system of this world severely lacked ranged attack methods, making it extremely close-combat oriented.
Whether magic or martial energy, both systems were divided into ten ranks. The first eight ranks were standard, but only at the ninth rank did the distinctions blur. Practitioners began cultivating both magic and martial arts and gained flight capabilities, equivalent to Title Douluos among soul masters. Ye Wen personally assessed them and found their combat abilities quite formidable.
However, Magic War Planet had one advantage over the former Douluo Star: they had ten individuals who could be called demi-gods—magician sages or martial energy saints.
Unfortunately for them, they were facing Ye Wen and his team, who had crossed the stars to deliver a dimensional strike.
Twenty Title Douluos, clad in five-character divine armors, possessed combat power rivaling third-tier gods. Ask yourself, aren't you afraid?
"Teleportation begins," Ye Wen said coldly again.
Below their feet, a dazzling blue array of incomprehensible patterns began to flash with brilliant blue light.
Their vision blurred momentarily, and they found themselves above their target—the capital of the Corgi Empire.
Looking down at the seemingly grand but actually dilapidated, filthy, and foul-smelling capital, all the soul masters looked on with disdain.
Ye Wen soared above them, raising his hand and gesturing downward.
"Follow the plan. Crush them and truly announce our arrival to this world!!!"
