It’s not a good day for the Rebel Army.

But they have no choice.

"I never thought we’d actually participate in a mad attack..."

Han Solo looked complex as he eyed the hall before him, where members of the Rebel Army were assembled and ready for action. However, Han Solo couldn’t see the figures of Lia and Luke, which made him somewhat uneasy. He didn’t know what had happened, but Han Solo always felt something was amiss.

Yet the current situation clearly wasn’t just a problem of Lia and Luke.

"We must take action now."

Another woman stepped out, standing in front of everyone.

"The Empire’s offensive against us is becoming more and more frenzied. If we keep going on like this, we’ll be wiped out completely. Luckily, the Emperor made a huge mistake, and now it’s our turn to retaliate."

As she spoke, the woman summoned a holographic map of a planet.

"The data provided by Berson’s spies indicate the exact location of the Empire’s new battle space station. Ever since the Dead Star was destroyed, they’ve been constructing a second Dead Star space station. Fortunately, we have gotten the intelligence. Not only that, we’ve also learned that the weapon systems on this Dead Star can’t operate normally. And the Galactic Fleet is scattered throughout the entire Star System searching for us, so it’s almost undefended. What’s more important is..."

As she got to this point, a smile appeared on the woman’s face.

"We’ve learned that the Emperor himself is currently inspecting on that Dead Star space station."

"......"

Upon hearing the woman’s words, the leaders of the Rebel Army instantly became excited. They clearly understood her meaning. If this crazy plan succeeded, they would not only be able to destroy the Dead Star but also kill the Emperor!

"Many Bersons sacrificed their lives to provide us with this information... In any case, our plan has been confirmed. We need to split into two routes. One route must break into the Dead Star, while the other needs to disguise as an Empire transport ship to enter the satellite and disable the Shield Generator... General Solo, do you have any questions?"

Seeing Han Solo raise his hand, the woman frowned slightly and asked softly.

"I’d like to ask, how should we deal with that mysterious... network attack?"

Han Solo spread his hands, frowning tightly.

"To be honest, I still don’t know how they do it, but they can paralyze all our equipment through wireless communication networks! If we can’t figure this out, any attack will be just a risk and a suicide mission."

"We’ve prepared for this as well."

With that, the woman stepped back a bit. Then, a small, thin figure walked out from behind her.

"Master Yoda will go with you to the Dead Star. He will ensure the capture of the person using this mysterious method."

"I never thought I’d show up here again."

The little green person grinned as he looked at everyone present.

"To be honest, I was originally supposed to return to the Primordial Force, but now it seems, I have unfinished duties."

With this, Yoda closed his eyes and sighed softly.

Compared to those present, Yoda knew more, after all, Luke hadn’t hidden Fang Zheng’s existence from him. But it was precisely because of this that Yoda decided to participate in this crusade.

The destruction of the Empire was no longer important, the Skywalker descendants were regrettable, but the most important concern was this man... Who is he, and what does he want to do in this world? Why is he helping the Empire... This is what worried Yoda.

"So this is the Rebel Army’s strategy, foolish and simplistic, brimming with Hollywood-style hero adventureism."

Fang Zheng chuckled, closing his personal terminal, while Luke eyed Fang Zheng with a complex expression. Even now, he couldn’t imagine how the man, sitting on this Dead Star, was able to eavesdrop on the Rebel Army’s conversation from miles away, even knowing their plan clearly.

"What are you planning to do?"

"I’m not planning to do anything."

Fang Zheng stood up and stretched lazily.

"I’m merely responsible for providing technical assistance to the Empire. If the Empire doesn’t request it, I won’t act on my own. Moreover, I think His Imperial Majesty should have his thoughts and plans. Hmm... I’m planning to go back to my room to sleep for a while. You should go back too. Judging by your personality, I reckon you won’t be able to bring yourself to harm the Rebel Army people, right."

"......"

"Fine, I’ll give you another piece of information."

Fang Zheng shrugged and then opened his personal terminal, revealing a map.

"What’s this?"

"Princess Lia is currently being held in the Rebel Army’s warship prison. If you’re really free, go save her. After all, the Rebel Army has already planned that once the Dead Star attack mission is over, they’ll execute Lia. If they win, she’ll be buried alongside Darth Vida. If they lose, they’ll definitely chop her to vent their frustration."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Luke stood up, surprised and excited.

"How could they do this?!"

"Of course, they can do this. When the situation’s unfavorable, you need a scapegoat. Who’s to blame when she’s your sister and Darth Vida’s daughter? Such a good target, how could they not set it up for attack? If you don’t want to get involved in Dead Star’s murky waters, just go save her instead. Report to your father, I’m sure Darth Vida would agree."

"So... Mr. Fang Zheng, you don’t plan to join the fight?"

"Unless they’re really stupid enough to come find trouble with me, otherwise I prefer to watch the show. After all, what’s the point of fighting and killing, don’t you agree?"

After saying this, Fang Zheng waved at Luke and then turned to leave the room. Luke was silent for a moment, then hurried off to find Darth Vida.

The Rebel Army, for them, still didn’t know what they’d encounter.

They utilized a stolen Empire transport ship, very "smoothly" passing the Empire’s security check, very "smoothly" entering the interior of the Dead Star under construction. And due to the rush in construction, manpower was "insufficient" on the Dead Star, with only a few Stormtroopers around, who were quickly rounded up by the special battle squad that stormed off the transport ship.

Then the team split into two groups, one group went to disrupt the shield deployment device within the Dead Star, and the other group went to find their target, the mysterious man providing "technical support" for the Galactic Empire.

In a way, that mysterious man posed an even greater threat than the Dead Star because no matter what they did, once discovered by that man, it would mean complete destruction in an instant.

A small figure moved through the corridor, avoiding the Stormtroopers’ sight, then entered a room.

"I really didn’t expect that there would actually be someone foolish enough to come here and throw their life away."

Fang Zheng sat on the sofa, helplessly raising his head to look at Yoda in front of him.

"It’s you again, little green man."

"Young man, I can feel the power within you, that incredibly strong power, but... why do you submit to darkness?"

"It’s just diplomatic negotiation."

Fang Zheng chuckled.

"The Emperor sought support from the Heavenly Dao Palace to quell the rebellion, so we provided technical assistance. I don’t see anything worth criticizing, especially not from a little green man like you, who doesn’t have the right to judge me. Although I would love to deal with you, it seems Palpatine has other views, so you’d better go bother him and stop appearing before me."

After saying this, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers, and with a flash of radiance, Yoda disappeared from Fang Zheng’s sight, while Fang Zheng snorted lightly and lowered his head again.

"Damn, I was watching Tina’s shower video halfway through... these damn bastards are so annoying."

The scene before his eyes flashed.

When Yoda regained consciousness, it found itself in another place, where an old man wrapped entirely in a black robe was sitting on a chair, looking at him with amusement.

"Ah, Master Yoda, I didn’t expect you would come here."

"...Palpatine..."

Gazing at Palpatine before him, Yoda adopted a serious expression, raising the lightsaber in his hand to point at the enemy. Palpatine, however, stood up, looking coldly toward him.

"I can sense the power contained within your body, Master Yoda, I didn’t realize you’d grown even stronger than before?"

"It’s all under the guidance of the Primordial Force."

"Ah, I understand, you’ve also received the Primordial Storm... hmm, this really is unexpected. But what I’ve received is not merely power."

As he spoke, Palpatine lowered his hood, revealing a face that seemed unchanged from years prior. At the same time, Yoda could feel the powerful surge of Primordial Force within Palpatine.

"...It appears you’ve also received plenty of benefits, Palpatine."

"No, you’re wrong, Master Yoda, it’s not just power."

As he spoke, Palpatine slowly stepped down from the throne and walked toward Yoda.

"What I’ve received is not merely power but also truth."

Accompanied by Palpatine’s words, a crimson lightsaber suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Truth you can never glimpse."

Speaking these words, Palpatine raised his left hand, and another blue lightsaber abruptly appeared!

"How... How is this possible?!"

Seeing this, Yoda widened his eyes in disbelief. All Sith lightsabers are red because they force lightsabers to submit to their power, so Sith lightsabers are as blood-red as can be, a symbol of the Dark Force.

But now, Palpatine could simultaneously control both Light Side Force and Dark Force?!

That’s impossible!

"Hahaha..."

Looking at Yoda before him, Palpatine laughed.

"Look, I just wanted to see your expression now, despair, shock, aren’t you wondering? Full of questions, surprise? Actually, it’s quite simple... power is power. The Primordial Force is the same; it never has been a Light Side Force and doesn’t exist as a Dark Force. The Primordial Force is just there, it only depends on how you use it."

As he spoke, Palpatine looked at Yoda.

"The lightsaber in your hand is the same. You can wield it to kill anyone, anyone! Whether a bad person like me or an innocent, right? That’s the nature of a lightsaber, a lightsaber won’t just attack bad people and spare the good ones... the Primordial Force is the same."

"You... what are you saying?"

"I’ve explored the truth of the Primordial Force and found its essence."

Palpatine raised both hands.

"From now on, I will establish a new Primordial Force faction, neither Light nor Dark, not Jedi, nor Sith! But unification! Unite all the Primordial Force together! This is my future! From today, this world will no longer just have Jedi and Sith!"

"............"

Upon hearing Palpatine’s words, Yoda stared in shock, completely unexpected for Palpatine to express such ideas!

"Now it’s your turn, Master Yoda."

Palpatine raised his dual swords, placing them before his chest.

"Consider yourself honored, you are the first to confront the unified Primordial Force, you will know the true power of the Primordial Force."

At this moment, Yoda realized it had no other choice.
