Chapter 1254: 1254 **Chapter 1254: The True Function of the Military Star Map** Zhu Qiwu remained silent. Lin Moyu spoke up at the right moment to ease the tension, "In any case, the military star map has been retrieved, so let’s put the past behind us." His words helped dissolve the awkwardness for Zhu Qiwu. Zhu Qiwu cleared his throat, "This matter ends here. Although you took the military star map, it was beyond your control, and you have made your best efforts to make amends." "I will make the decision on this matter and will not pursue it further. However, you cannot stay here any longer." "As for your next steps, return to Fortress No. 1 and wait for my notification." He Renxing respectfully saluted Zhu Qiwu, "Thank you, Guardian." Zhu Qiwu said, "I have informed Commander Xiahou. He will take you to get a new battlefield token, but you should also change your appearance. Many people know you." The Commander Xiahou Zhu Qiwu mentioned was the legion commander of Fortress No. 7. Zhu Qiwu wouldn’t trust anyone else with this task. In the eyes of many, He Renxing was already dead and should not reappear. He Renxing nodded, indicating his understanding. His appearance changed, and in an instant, he became another person. This clone was a refined puppet, not a true flesh body. Moreover, for a strong person at the God King level, changing appearance was not difficult. He Renxing’s appearance changed, and his cultivation level also shifted from God Sovereign to the sixth stage of God King. If he didn’t reveal it, no one would know he was He Renxing. After changing his battlefield token, he would become a completely new sixth-stage God King. A few seconds later, the warship’s door automatically opened, and Commander Xiahou was already waiting outside. He would take He Renxing to get a new battlefield token and re-register his information in the Human Emperor Network. After changing everything, He Renxing would become another person. Unfortunately, his soul was now two-thirds less, making it extremely difficult to cultivate back to his original state unless he had a great opportunity. Watching He Renxing leave, Lin Moyu couldn’t help but sigh. A dignified God Sovereign ended up like this. Lin Moyu sighed sincerely, "The great world is perilous; one wrong step leads to another." Zhu Qiwu glanced at Lin Moyu, clearly disagreeing with his sentiment, "Why sigh? This is already a good outcome for him." "Moreover, your statement is problematic. It’s not just the great world; everything in the universe is like this. Whether you embark on the path of cultivation or not, it’s the same." "Those who haven’t cultivated, or even entered the great world, die silently due to various reasons, isn’t that even more tragic?" Lin Moyu asked, "Are you really planning to send him back to the human star domain?" According to He Renxing, he had indeed tried his best to minimize losses, and the human race’s losses this time were indeed not significant. But this was just his side of the story and couldn’t be fully trusted. At least, from Lin Moyu’s understanding of the human high command, they wouldn’t completely trust He Renxing. Better safe than sorry. From a racial perspective, any potential threat must be eliminated in the cradle; otherwise, the consequences could be unimaginable. Zhu Qiwu didn’t answer but instead asked, "What do you think? If it were you, what would you do?" Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "First, conduct a thorough examination to ensure he has truly broken free from the Bewitching Demon’s control. I believe the human race has ways to verify this." "This is just the first step. The Bewitching Demon’s control can sometimes affect one’s nature, making him unsuitable for military service or staying in the Vermilion Bird Star Domain. Arrange for him to live in a distant place." "In the human star domain, the Human Emperor Network can monitor him, ensuring nothing major happens under normal circumstances." Zhu Qiwu’s eyes showed increasing satisfaction, and he didn’t hesitate to praise, "Not bad, your thoughts are very good. We will indeed do this. You seem well-suited for the military. Are you interested in formally joining?" Lin Moyu shook his head, "No, I prefer a free life. Besides, I am already an honorary soldier, which makes me part of the military. Whenever I’m on the battlefield, you can call on me if needed." Zhu Qiwu laughed, not forcing him, "As you wish. In the end, it’s all the same." There seemed to be a deeper meaning in Zhu Qiwu’s words, which Lin Moyu noted down. Zhu Qiwu’s gaze returned to the holographic star map, "Alright, let me formally demonstrate the true function of the military star map." Lin Moyu focused his attention. The military star map, which could make the demon army come out in full force and the human race willing to destroy an entire area to fight for it, must contain some significant secrets. As Zhu Qiwu continued to activate the star map, it unfolded like a scroll, and the projected image became increasingly clear and complete. The holographic star map fully expanded, enveloping the entire space, making Lin Moyu feel as if he were inside it. Various regions were outlined, each representing a battlefield zone, further divided into smaller areas. Each area had its own shape, some spherical, some square, some rectangular, and many irregular shapes. Compared to the star map seen in Fortress No. 1, this one was much more detailed. Besides the outlined areas, most of the space was nameless void. In the entire Vermilion Bird Battlefield star map, the nameless void occupied more than eighty percent of the area. Then, star-like light points lit up, representing ten star fortresses. Fortresses No. 1 to No. 6 were on the outermost edge of the battlefield, forming a circle around it. Fortresses No. 7 to No. 9 formed a triangle in the central area of the battlefield. At the very center of the battlefield, a particularly bright light point shone brilliantly. That was Fortress No. 10, the most powerful of all the star fortresses, where Zhu Qiwu was stationed. The star fortresses not only had strong combat power but also served as military bases, each housing millions of troops. Zhu Qiwu explained, "Star fortresses are different from War God Fortresses. War God Fortresses are mobile military bases with less combat power than star fortresses." "Star fortresses can also move, but they are too large and slow, though they have strong combat power." Lin Moyu nodded slightly, understanding the difference. In terms of combat power, star fortresses were undoubtedly the strongest, followed by mobile fortresses like War God Fortresses, then warships, God Sovereign-level warships, and God King-level warships. These were the human race’s war machines, extremely powerful. As for Zhu Qiwu’s warship, it was a special product, different from mass-produced war machines and couldn’t be ranked among them. After the ten star fortresses appeared, more light points began to light up on the holographic star map, representing numerous outpost bases. Each outpost base corresponded to a specific area. A total of 931 light points represented 931 outpost bases. Up to this point, everything seemed normal. This was what Zhu Qiwu had initially told him: the star map could indicate the locations of outpost bases. This was why both the demons and the human race wanted to seize the star map. But Lin Moyu felt that the star map’s function was not limited to this. Zhu Qiwu glanced at Lin Moyu, then lightly tapped the star map with his finger, causing it to emit a brilliant light.
