This approach would equip students not just with theory, but with hands-on skills—tools they’d carry into the future as engineers, tacticians, officers, and pioneers of the Void Empire.
With the help of the Red Empress, Kallus resolved everything that needed his attention before departing for the Minotaur clan—his launch point for the coming conquest.
Beyond his dealings with the Void-Earth Alliance and the Galactic Academy, Kallus had taken on other critical responsibilities. One of the most important was terraforming planets—worlds that had once teed with life millions of years ago but were rendered barren by the event now known as the Million-Year Calamity. (Despite the na, it had occurred over two million years ago, as explained in the opening Chapter.)
While these planets could have gradually reawakened on their own—thanks to the rising flow of mana and the cleansing of the Soul Region (the sacred Sol region)—the natural process was agonizingly slow. Left to fate, even the initial stages of reactivation would take over three decades, with full ecological revival requiring more than a century. That was simply too long—especially for soone like Kallus, who neither had the ti nor the patience to wait.
Fortunately, he possessed the technology to accelerate the process—naturally and safely. His thods enhanced the natural progression without causing any long-term harm to the planetary ecosystems. This was one of the key reasons Kallus committed to taking direct action.
He discussed many technical and strategic details with the Director of the Gaia Planetary Restoration Authority—a specialised branch of the Void Fleet that Kallus himself had founded a few years earlier within the Universal Realms. This organization was composed of handpicked cadets from Earth, personally trained by Kallus to the peak of current knowledge in planetary restoration. Their expertise was unmatched; no one dared question their authority in the field.
True to its na, the Gaia Planetary Restoration Authority was dedicated to reviving dead or barren planets. Using a blend of advanced magi-technology and mana-based engineering, they worked to restore these worlds through accelerated yet natural ans—starting with key systems in the Sol Region
Using a blend of advanced magi-technology and mana-based engineering, they worked tirelessly to restore these worlds through accelerated yet natural ans. The key energy source—mana—was now gradually returning to the long-desolate Sol Region. Not only was it becoming more abundant, but its purity was also steadily increasing with ti.
Thanks to this natural resurgence, the restoration teams could now carry out their duties according to Kallus’s vision without the previous limitations. Their efficiency would only continue to grow, as they no longer needed to rely on artificial sources or external extraction of mana.
With mana now flowing freely across the Sol Region and its many star systems, they had direct access to the most crucial resource required for planetary revival.
Kallus worked closely with the director of the Gaia Planetary Restoration Authority—a woman nad Prithvi. She originally hailed from the region once known as the Indra Empire, now part of the Indra Imperium, following the centralization of governance that led to the dissolution of forr national borders—an event discussed in earlier Chapters.
Whether by coincidence or fate, her na held deep significance. Prithvi was also the na of a revered goddess in Indra Empire mythology—a primordial deity associated with Earth, life, and even creation itself. And now, a woman bearing that very na had risen to beco the director of an organisations engaged in a task not far from the work of gods.
Yet unlike the divine beings of old—who wielded their godly powers as descendants of the heavens—these individuals possessed no such abilities, at least not yet, or not at that level. Instead, they relied on magi-technology, a fusion of science and mana developed over centuries by the Imperial Research Labs of the Void Fleet. With it, they perford feats that mirrored the very miracles once attributed to gods in ancient texts.
In truth, their work was no different from encroaching upon the sacred domain of the divine—only this ti, it was done not through celestial might, but through relentless human effort, knowledge, and innovation. In the hands of the Void Fleet, this powerful fusion of science and mana had beco a tool of creation, capable of restoring worlds that had long been forsaken—ruined not rely by ti, but by the acts of beings still lurking sowhere in the galaxy.
Together with Chairwoman Prithvi, Kallus ticulously planned every aspect of the restoration initiative—where to begin, when to launch each phase, how the Gaia Organization would proceed, and what deadlines needed to be t. Both major strategies and minor logistical details were discussed at length. Only after Kallus was fully satisfied with every elent of the plan did he allow Chairwoman Prithvi to take her leave.
Once she departed, Kallus turned his attention to another specialized branch of the Void Fleet—one he had created with a different purpose in mind: to manage planets that had already undergone what he terd "natural terraforming."
These were worlds that, without artificial intervention, had slowly begun to regain their forr vitality—planets that had returned to a state much like Earth’s, through the gradual increase of mana and ti’s healing touch.
After all, there was a deeper reason behind his efforts to terraform otherwise lifeless planets—planets that, at least for now, remained dead.
He wasn’t doing this just to fill star systems with habitable worlds for the sake of it. No, Kallus had a far more strategic utility in mind for them—one that would beco relevant very soon.
For Kallus’s broader vision to take shape, the newly habitable worlds needed to be equipped with the right infrastructure—systems that would support their intended future roles. These infrastructures were not only vital but also foundational, serving as the groundwork for further developnt across many worlds.
Since such large-scale construction is naturally ti-consuming and highly specialised , Kallus had established a new organisation to oversee it: the World Infrastructure and Developnt Association, or WIDA.WIDA operated under the oversight of Minister Evans, but its day-to-day leadership had been entrusted to his capable assistant, Armin—a man now standing before Kallus, engaged in detailed discussions about the next phase of planetary developnt.
Each planet, depending on its scale, resources, and environnt, was chosen for a different purpose.
No two worlds were ever alike. From past missions he had led, he and his team had learned the true nature of the planets selected for terraforming. So of them, even after undergoing only natural terraformation, revealed extraordinary potential—destined to beco centre’s of beauty, culture, and recreation.
One such world was projected to be covered in sprawling mountain ranges—so rugged and rocky, others cloaked in dense forests—forming a breathtaking harmony of stone and green. Of course, this vision was based on advanced simulations, created using scientific data collected from the planet itself. Though not yet terraford, the projections painted it as a perfect candidate for exploration zones, nature retreats, and sanctuaries of peace and relaxation.
Another world, similarly still in the simulation phase based on collected scientific data, was projected to remain locked in perpetual snow even after full terraformation. Yet despite its eternal winter, it was surprisingly well-suited for life—across land, sea, and diverse plant ecosystems. Its stable climate and pristine, untouched white landscapes made it not just a viable survival habitat, but also a uniquely balanced biosphere—unlike anything else known in the galaxy.
And then there were planets rich in fertile soil—ideal candidates for cultivating not only food but also a range of agricultural and botanical resources once terraforming was complete and their properties stabilized. These worlds were poised to beco major agricultural hubs, playing a crucial role in ensuring long-term food security for future colonies.
There were also many planets that, while not specialized, would still beco highly viable after terraformation. These general-purpose worlds were seen as perfect for supporting the expanding population. Kallus had already begun forming plans to gradually redistribute Earth’s people across these new planets—both to repopulate them and to ease the ever-increasing strain on Earth itself.
Though not imdiately, this process was sothing Kallus planned to initiate only after Earth had taken its true first steps into space—real steps, not the limited and symbolic ventures of the past. The earlier efforts, mostly confined to a few missions to the Moon by select nations, had been far from sufficient.
But with the renewed montum and expected technological boost from the newly unified global governnt, real progress seed within reach. Only once that threshold was crossed would Kallus formally present his proposal to Earth’s leaders. And even then, he would not impose his vision—he would offer it, leaving the choice entirely in their hands.
And just like that, another day passed. After continuous effort, Kallus finally completed this small yet vital task—a task whose true value would reveal itself in the future. Of course, he hadn’t done it alone; the Red Empress had played her part.
Now, the responsibility shifted to his subordinates. It was their turn to prove their worth—their ability to handle such operations with precision and efficiency. Whether they could et the expectations and deliver within the designated ti fra would be their test.
