"Wait… Redirecting trouble…"
Bai Ze's pupils suddenly contracted. At that moment, inspiration struck like a bolt of lightning.
Turning to Xia Yinyue with a dazed expression, he asked, "Yinyue, did you just say redirecting trouble?"
Seeing Bai Ze's odd demeanor, Xia Yinyue felt a bit uneasy but still nodded cooperatively. "Yes, I said it. Was there something wrong with that?"
Hearing her confirmation, countless fragments of ideas flashed through Bai Ze's mind.
In an instant, he realized how to deal with his current predicament.
"Ha! No, nothing wrong at all!"
"Yes, I can do just that again redirect the trouble!" Bai Ze muttered to himself.
His earlier gloominess evaporated, replaced by a newfound confidence, and he resumed devouring his meal with gusto.
Xia Yinyue watched this change in him with a stunned expression. For a moment, she thought he might have lost his mind.
How could someone be so dejected one second and so elated the next? It was far too abnormal.
However, Bai Ze didn't bother explaining his sudden shift to her, simply brushing it off with a few words.
After finishing his meal, he helped Xia Yinyue tidy up briefly before preparing to return to his room.
"Yinyue, I still have some things to handle, so I'll head back now."
"There's a report coming up in a couple of days. Make sure you get some rest and keep your energy up!"
Waving his hand in farewell, Bai Ze left the room.
Xia Yinyue nodded, watching him disappear into his quarters before leaving the dining area herself.
Back in his room, Bai Ze seemed incredibly energized nothing like someone who hadn't slept in two days.
His conversation with Xia Yinyue had sparked a solution in his mind.
"Redirect the trouble!"
That was the key.
Of course, this time it wasn't just a simulation it was a real war, with real stakes.
The risks were substantial, but for the sake of those enticing rewards, Bai Ze decided to take the gamble.
"Go big or go home!"
"There's no time to waste resting."
"System, enter my world," Bai Ze commanded.
As he settled cross-legged on his bed, his consciousness once again plunged into the vast expanse of starlight.
Looking down at his planet, he saw all the creatures that had perished before now fully revived.
"With one A-grade item card and 20,000 bottles of space potion, I just might have a chance!"
The space potions in his possession were proof that some of the Liches in the space station and their reinforcements were left without backup supplies.
This realization gave Bai Ze an even greater sense of confidence.
Boom!
The home planet trembled slightly as Bai Ze's figure appeared in the heavens, his outline suspended against the celestial backdrop.
The revived supernaturals of the four factions quickly emerged to worship their supreme deity.
"Listen carefully, my beloved creations."
"You're about to face a real war against an undefeatable enemy the Liches!"
"Unlike before, death in this war likely means no resurrection. Are you prepared to move forward?"
As his words echoed, a thunderous roar erupted, shaking the skies and earth alike.
"For the Father God, we are willing to die without regret!"
"To offer our souls and lives to the Father God, we will fight until the end, defying fate itself!"
Their eyes burned with fervor, showing no trace of fear.
After countless simulated battles and innumerable deaths, these creatures had grown indifferent to mortality. To them, death had become almost routine.
"It seems the repeated simulations have paid off," Bai Ze mused, nodding in satisfaction at their fearless resolve.
The enemy was an endless legion of Liches, led by a Sovereign-level entity.
For other creators, their armies might have fled in terror before even engaging.
As for Bai Ze, though he hadn't revealed the full truth, he knew that as their creator, he still had ways to revive his creatures though at a significant cost.
"Alright, use the A-grade item card: Backup Hidden Energy."
At his command, a card adorned with an image of an explosive creature disintegrated into golden dust, cascading over the planet's surface and imbuing every creature with its essence.
Feeling the surge of energy, the creatures became even more energized.
"This power… Is this a special skill from before? The Father God has blessed us with it again?!"
"Excellent! I'll self-detonate and take those bastards down with me!"
In addition to the card, Bai Ze distributed 20,000 bottles of space potion among the creatures.
The nearly 4,000-strong army composed of three clans drank the potions, becoming encased in protective barriers and significantly enhancing their physical capabilities.
At Bai Ze's command, the allied forces leaped into the air and exited the atmosphere.
"The Sea Emperor Clan, listen up. Head to the storm region south of the home planet."
"Find that floating ice shard and bring it back to the home planet to break it open!"
"Be sure to use your tentacles to form a chain and avoid disruption by cosmic turbulence."
Following his divine decree, 500 members of the Sea Emperor Clan followed Gatanothor's lead, advancing southward.
Their combat strength was the weakest among the four clans, making them less effective in confrontations at the space station.
Thus, Bai Ze entrusted them with this critical yet indirect mission: retrieve the ice shard and unseal Aurora.
He had realized that Aurora's power level was quite formidable, comparable to Hyper Zetton.
As the saying goes, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Recruiting her to help fend off the Liches would undoubtedly increase their odds of victory.
"The other three clans will follow the plan from the last simulation."
"Hyper Zetton and the Meteor Swarm will launch a frontal assault on the space station."
"The Kunpeng and Taotie clans will infiltrate and sabotage key equipment!"
With Bai Ze's commands fully issued, the army surged forward, advancing toward the Liches' space station with unstoppable momentum.
Meanwhile, the Liches within the space station began to sense that something was amiss.
Their reserve of space potions had mysteriously vanished without a trace, leaving them with no leads.
More critically, the loss of the potions meant the Liches stationed there were now on a slow path to death.
Even if they deployed their starships to return to their home planet, many of their comrades would perish en route.
"It doesn't matter anymore. For the glory of the Lich God, we've long since had no path of retreat."
"What's more, our scanners confirm that the Sacred Tree Spirit is nearby."
"Prepare yourselves. Under no circumstances can our secret be discovered."
"If anyone dares to intrude, kill them on sight!"
The Lich Chieftain raised his staff high, his eyes brimming with arrogance.
