Chapter 742: Cooperation with the Star Empire
He remembered.
Shane, the unlucky guy, still has the bunny girl photos of the other person in his smart terminal.
When he was on Tianhuang Star, he was chatting with Shane and heard him mention that a sister had sent a ghost team, which had a conflict with him.
Of course, based on some traces and clues afterwards, it can be basically concluded that everything that happened on Tianhuang Star was just a plan for Shane.
Whether it was targeting him or helping him, the underlying purpose was just to make Shane's abduction seem more reasonable.
Except Li Yu...
His appearance caused Shane to suffer some extra twists and turns for no apparent reason.
This was also the beginning of his feud with the Star Empire.
Hearing the word "Shaen", Enius's eyes changed obviously, and then he chuckled and said, "Long Zun has a good memory, but strictly speaking, he is no longer my brother."
On the surface, Shane had been expelled from the imperial nobility, so he certainly couldn't be considered her brother.
Li Yu remained noncommittal. Xia En was related to another big plan of the Star Empire, and he didn't know what it was specifically.
All we know is that the fake throne of God should be an extremely important link.
However, the throne of God has been half-diamonded by him. Although he cannot fully control it, he can still influence it slightly.
"Come to think of it, the Ghost Squadron sent by Your Highness was the first enemy I eliminated." Li Yu sighed.
"That happened a few years ago. Who could have thought that you would grow to where you are today?" Ennius seemed reluctant to mention this past event and wanted to change the subject.
But Li Yu did not give her this opportunity: "I heard that the war of gods in the parliament has entered a white-hot stage, and this war of gods seems to be the fastest progressing one."
"In the past, each one seemed to last for thousands of years, but based on the current situation, I'm afraid it will end within a hundred years."
Ennius' heart was pounding, and he always felt that this guy was hinting at something.
But they acted in extreme secrecy and hardly used the power of the empire.
How did this guy know?
Could it be Lloyd?
I saw something was wrong with that boy!
Aeneus had many guesses in his mind, but he also looked puzzled:
"Your Excellency is very concerned about the parliament. We haven't paid attention to the situation of the parliament for a long time. We haven't dealt with our own affairs yet."
She seemed to be laughing at herself.
"I also heard that my old friend Shane has performed brilliantly in this war of gods and has become the mainstay of Lady Night's camp, becoming a middle-level god."
Li Yu continued to add.
This is news from the black hole network. Although he did not collect it deliberately, the parliament has not completely lost touch with the interstellar civilization.
Some churches of gods have large-scale commodity trade with interstellar civilizations, so this kind of information can be easily obtained.
"Your Excellency Long Zun, you suddenly mentioned Shane. What does that mean? Do you want to expose the shame of the imperial nobles?" Enius' voice turned cold.
Li Yu laughed and waved his hand, saying, "It's just a casual remark. The things I experienced when I was weak are always unforgettable."
He asked Ennius to sit down, as it was not appropriate to talk while standing. Peyton left here silently, and no one knew where he went.
Ennius crossed her legs and when she sat down, the length of her skirt shortened, revealing her long legs so slender that they were almost reflective.
Her expression flickered, and she did not continue the topic. She said, "I came here this time mainly to discuss some cooperation issues with you."
"Oh?" Li Yu was a little surprised.
"Why, Lord Longzun, do you think I really came here to see what you look like?" Enius' tone was thorny and full of resentment.
Li Yu shook his head and said, "No, I thought someone else would come to talk to me about this, the Emperor or Lloyd..."
"Lloyd and you are unclear about each other. There are some things that he cannot talk to you about." Ennius shook his head.
"Ha..." Li Yu couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that because Lehman was killed, Lloyd's status in the eyes of the Emperor was indirectly reduced.
"The war between you and us is over. If we are not mistaken, you should have the same concerns and worries as us." Ennius said with a serious expression.
The concerns and worries are directed at the creator civilization.
The Star Empire did not regard the Creator Civilization as an enemy, even though they were the main heirs to the Titan civilization's legacy.
But the option of revenge for the Titan civilization never appeared in their plans.
What they worry about is that the creator civilization views them as enemies.
If possible, the Star Empire would rather live in peace with it.
However, things don't go as they think.
Planning ahead and preparing for a rainy day are skills that every civilization must learn.
Li Yu's eyes flashed, but he did not deny the fact.
He also didn't want to fight with the Creator Civilization, but that was not a pan-civilization race, and in order to develop it must constantly acquire more resources.
Under normal circumstances, when faced with a civilization that is equally powerful as your own, fighting to the end is not a wise choice.
But they fought with the Titan civilization to the end until the Titan civilization was destroyed, which was enough to prove their madness.
The development of events is not subject to personal will, he doesn't know what will happen in the future, and he doesn't mind making more preparations.
Seeing Li Yu's acquiescence, Enius continued: "The desolate annihilation zone left behind by that war has bought us precious time for development."
"But as time goes by, the universe is actively repairing that damaged area. Although it is still not easy to cross, it is no longer so safe."
The Star Empire is in a critical situation. The Creator Civilization is like the Sword of Damocles, which may fall on their heads at any time and cause a catastrophic disaster.
Li Yu remained calm. The Star Empire had no idea that the Creator Civilization had suffered a severe trauma and that the Device of Annihilation had been shattered.
Moreover, the universe is so vast that it is unpredictable, and there are such things as eternal civilizations.
After the war, the Creator civilization might have been attacked by other civilizations, and it might have been destroyed now.
However, he would definitely not disclose this kind of information casually.
"We want to conclude a true alliance with you. It's not just a superficial easing of the situation, but cooperation in certain areas, such as transformation technology..." Enius stated the real purpose.
If we follow the old path of Titan civilization, it will definitely be impossible to defeat the Creator civilization.
What's more, they are now stuck at a bottleneck. How to extract cosmic essence and create Titan artifact-level weapons is still an insurmountable gap for them.
Compared with the Titan civilization, whose span of civilization is almost impossible to trace , the Star Empire is still too young.
"Real cooperation..." Li Yu narrowed his eyes and began to carefully think about the benefits of this cooperation to him.
The first is resources. Since the Yuxu Palace’s connection with the interstellar space was cut off some time ago, the expansion has become extremely slow.
Now that they have the mechanical core, the accumulation of small amounts will make a large one, and the integration of the Transformation Legion will form a formidable fighting force.
Besides, it is impossible for him to continue using the Reality Gems to create resources.
As for technical exchanges, he could just throw away the Life Titan's technology since he couldn't digest it by himself anyway.
The technological reserves of the Starry Empire are definitely stronger than his, and maybe he can even take advantage of the Starry Empire.
As for some information channels, he can learn a lot of information that was previously unavailable.
As for the disadvantages, there really aren't any...
This is a collaboration, not a superior-subordinate relationship. He can leave at any time.
After thinking for a moment, he added: "What if we have a conflict of interest at some point?"
"Solve this matter within a limited scope." Ennius did not hesitate.
For Li Yu, the alien dimension camp is where he has the final say. Whether to cooperate or not, whether to break the contract or not, all depends on his thoughts.
But you have to pretend.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, but I need to report it. But I think your proposal has a high probability of success."
Ennius nodded. The two of them were just in preliminary discussions. If they wanted to truly deepen their cooperation, there was still a lot they needed to discuss.
Then, Ennius stood up and said, "The Interstellar Joint Conference will be held soon. You will appear as a special guest. I hope you can help us clarify some things."
"Of course." Li Yu nodded with a smile.
…
The Interstellar Joint Conference is a major event at the entire interstellar level.
For small and medium-sized civilizations, it is also an opportunity to build bridges with large civilizations .
They need technology to develop the precious resources within their civilization without having to worry about being targeted by other civilizations.
However, for large civilizations, they can recruit a few more followers and obtain precious resources that are lacking in their own civilization from other civilizations.
Every interstellar joint meeting is a feast.
Most small civilizations will be devoured without leaving anything behind, having signed contracts filled with countless traps without knowing why.
No one seemed to care about Hassans' death, and the CEO of the Terran Chamber of Commerce disappeared quietly in the villa.
After a few days of peace, the Interstellar Federation Conference is about to be held.
The venue chosen was the Galaxy Venue, which was the highest level venue in the entire capital of the Star Empire.
Its overall shape is like a flowing galaxy, shining brightly, and many large-scale official events are held here.
At this moment, the sky above the Galaxy Conference Center has been designated as a no-fly zone, and a large number of imperial soldiers are patrolling.
Even if everyone entering the imperial capital had to undergo strict questioning, it would not necessarily eliminate all hidden dangers.
In the face of such a major event, naturally no mistakes are allowed to occur.
The perimeter of the venue has been strictly restricted, and a large number of ordinary citizens can only stand outside the cordon and look at the place. Only the official media of major civilizations and the larger media in the interstellar space can be invited to enter.
Politicians from various civilizations arrived in specially made hovercrafts, various filming equipment flashed wildly, and the well-dressed hosts had already begun their broadcasts.
"Dear audience..."
"…We are now in the middle of…"
"...The scene of the interstellar joint meeting..."
This kind of entry does not involve any confidential information and is allowed to be broadcast live to the outside world.
At the same time, in order to cater to curious citizens on site, there is a large high-definition screen suspended above the venue.
In fact, most interstellar citizens are more curious than concerned about this kind of meeting.
This kind of meeting will not affect what they eat tomorrow, it's just for fun.
There are so many civilizations in the universe, and the people who come here are not the leaders of civilizations, so they can't remember that series of strange names.
As usual, most citizens watched for a while and then left with their heads shaken.
Only until a heart-wrenching roar pierced the sky -
"It's Dragon Lord!"
Many citizens who were preparing to leave paused and turned to look at the holographic screen.
I saw a black, extended hovercraft slowly stop at the entrance.
The waiter opened the car door and a figure slowly walked out.
In an instant, a large number of cameras were aimed at this place at the same time, taking thousands of photos per second, for fear of missing any angle of the photo.
Li Yu smiled and nodded. The picture has been synchronized to all live media.
Then, led by the waiter, he walked into the venue step by step.
All the hosts started introducing the topic person at the same time.
"We can see that the person who appeared before us is none other than the rising star in recent years, Dragon Lord - Li Yu. There is no need to elaborate on his deeds..."
"… What makes me curious is that there are rumors in the interstellar space that the Star Empire and Dragon Lord were originally incompatible, but now Dragon Lord has appeared as a special guest of the Star Empire…"
"We can't help but ask, could it be that the always overbearing Star Empire has actually given in?"
One host's words were quite radical. They were from a media organization with a bad reputation in the galaxy. They often confuse right and wrong to stir up heated discussions.
Some imperial soldiers patrolling nearby looked sideways, hesitating whether to raise their guns and kill.
Most citizens outside the venue reacted calmly, and some even revealed a hint of disgust in their eyes.
Those who can live here are basically old citizens of the Starry Empire, and they are proud of the Starry Empire.
It was naturally impossible for them to welcome the guy who had embarrassed the Star Empire several times.
Only a small number of citizens were quite excited, which made others dissatisfied and even cursed them as traitors.
Immediately, a small conflict broke out, but was quickly stopped by nearby Imperial soldiers.
There were many farces happening outside, but Li Yu naturally didn't know. He came here just for the sake of formality and had no interest in paying attention to other things.
