Chapter 816: Little Tricks
"Lord Longzun, I'm sorry..."
Ron lowered his head, his face full of shame, and Joseph stood beside him uncomfortably, with a hint of panic in his eyes.
The two of them looked like they had done something wrong.
Li Yu sat on the mechanical throne with a calm expression, looking at the holographic screen in front of him.
The host above was solemnly reporting an incident that had recently caused a huge sensation in the interstellar space - the "Iteran Massacre."
The Itlan Massacre was a horrific bloodbath that occurred in the Itlan civilization not long ago.
More than sixteen planets with life were swept away by unknown life forms, and a large number of citizens died.
According to relevant evidence, the culprits are the two guys in front of us.
It was because they did not follow the [Civilized Conventions] and [Precautions for Excavating Civilized Relics] during the excavation of ancient relics .
He deliberately guided an ancient mechanical clone to the Itlan civilization, which led to this bloody incident.
The Ithran civilization strongly condemned this atrocity with angry words and said it would hold the perpetrators accountable to the end.
With the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, the news that Ron and Iser were subordinates of Long Zun was spread and attracted widespread attention.
If it was the predators attacking a planet with life, it would be a regional incident at best, and the interstellar citizens would just curse a few words and then the matter would be over.
I feel sad about the weak armed strength of the Itlan civilization.
But now, one of the parties is suspected to be a subordinate of the interstellar boss. Long Zun is a positive character, with a high position and power, and holds an A-level alliance. His deeds have far-reaching influence.
Over the past few years, he has become a symbol in the interstellar world, and any mention of him instantly triggers public opinion!
In particular, the Itlan civilization reported to the Alliance of Civilizations, crying and demanding justice.
The situation has escalated further as pressure has been put on the culprit to be held accountable and the hope has been to initiate an investigation to get to the bottom the truth.
The Alliance of Civilizations certainly did not take on this hot potato at the first opportunity, but the subsequent surge in public opinion forced them to declare that they would verify the matter.
After all, this is the death of nearly 10 billion lives. Even if Dragon Lord is in a high position and has great strength, ordinary citizens will not care.
The death of an ordinary citizen has already aroused public anger, and no one dares to say anything rashly.
If the Alliance of Civilizations bullies the weak and fears the strong, then is there any need for it to exist?
Emotions need an outlet, and with the push of some people, even though the truth of the matter has not been fully investigated.
But the teams have already been drawn, and some people have directly pointed their spearheads at Long Zun.
How many people admire him, how many people hate him.
Some people questioned why he accepted such violent subordinates.
Some people also excused him, saying that the behavior of his subordinates could not be blamed on the leader.
After all, Long Zun couldn't always pay attention to what his subordinates were doing.
But such words obviously could not appease the emotional interstellar citizens who demanded that Long Zun hand over the murderer.
To be honest, this request is not excessive. It only requires handing over the murderer. It will not affect Long Zun's own interests. At most, it will only damage his internal image.
But it is also understandable. After all, it was his subordinates who caused such a big disturbance.
Compared with some other similar incidents, public opinion this time has been restrained a lot and no one is asking Long Zun to do more.
Because most ordinary interstellar citizens also understand that even the Star Empire cannot coerce Dragon Lord, so what can they do?
It’s just that most of Long Zun’s past claims were positive, so it’s a bit exaggerated.
If any other predator had done this, it wouldn't have caused such a big commotion.
Li Yu had known about this matter for a long time, and was quite indifferent to the surging public opinion from the outside world.
"Lord Longzun, hand me over!" Ron gritted his teeth and glanced at Joseph and said, "But please keep Joseph alive..."
Joseph looked a little anxious and said, "Ron, you..."
He was interrupted before he could finish his words.
Li Yu then looked up at him and said, "Are you in such a hurry to die?"
"It's obvious that someone is behind this. The target is not you, but me."
Ron also knew about this. They were indeed excavating in a ruin not far from the Itlan civilization at that time.
The mechanical colony was also a hidden object in the ruins and was accidentally activated.
However, they were able to handle it at that time, but they didn't know where this troublemaker came from.
They forced the mechanical colonies to break through the blockade and enter the territory of the Itlan civilization, causing this massacre.
But given the current trend of public opinion, it would be difficult to calm the storm without some explanation, so Ron took the initiative to say this.
After all, it was his first time experiencing such a scene. With most of the galaxy attacking him, it was difficult for him to remain calm.
"It's just a little trick. It's not your turn to take the blame. I probably know who is behind this." Li Yu shook his head.
Then, the mother box floating next to it suddenly made a sound, saying: "Master, according to the internal information of the black hole network, more than forty-three black hole accounts in the Itlan civilization have received a large amount of star coins in a short period of time."
"Based on the comparison of IP addresses, it should be their senior management."
Li Yu nodded. As expected, how could a small Itlan civilization dare to fire at him if there was no one behind the scenes fanning the flames?
"You guys just need to take a break for a while, so just ignore this matter."
Li Yu stood up and left, leaving the two people looking at each other in bewilderment.
…
Lloyd, informed by Li Yu, quickly used projection to land here, with a look of doubt on his face: "What does the message you just sent me mean?"
"It means exactly what it says. I want to kill the top leaders of the four major civilizations. They are causing trouble for me." Li Yu repeated.
Lloyd felt a headache. Every time Li Yu came to him, it was not good news: "It's easy to kill them, but the subsequent impact cannot be quelled."
"Once the top leaders of the four civilizations die, the interstellar situation will collapse instantly, various organizations will be established like mushrooms after rain, wars will break out, and more civilizations will be swept in."
At this point, he paused before continuing, "According to some models we have established, excluding the preparation time, if there is no intervention, it will take at least three thousand years to completely calm down this chaotic situation."
"If we intervene militarily, we can shorten the time by half, but during this period we will need to continue assimilation and education, spend a lot of resources, and prevent attacks from the remnants of civilization."
"That's your business." Li Yu said in a flat tone.
"You..." Lloyd was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Li Yu was asking them to deal with the incident at hand.
md, when you are looking for a laborer, you think of me.
Lloyd cursed inwardly, and cautiously probed: "Then let me ask you, is the recent rumor true? Did you really plunder the Titan artifacts of the four major civilizations?"
Li Yu shook his head and denied it: "Nonsense."
Lloyd did not comment upon hearing this. He sighed and said, "You also know that in the past three years, we have spared no effort in attacking the Forerunners."
"We had already dealt with most of the pioneers a year ago, and during this year we were just checking for omissions and filling in the gaps."
"But in the internal documents of the Forerunner organization, there is no record of the Titan artifact. The Silver Shadow and the Forerunner leader also disappeared without a trace."
"The four great civilizations were extremely anxious. Just at this time, there was news that you were secretly impersonating Silver Shadow and plundered the four great civilizations."
"They will definitely not give up."
Li Yu snorted coldly: "There are rumors saying that, and they believe it?"
"Then I will announce to the public tomorrow that it was you who did it."
Lloyd's eyelids twitched, and he said faintly, "Mr. Long Zun confirmed that the promotion will be tomorrow, but I feel like you have already started to act."
Li Yu's eyes flickered slightly, Lloyd was right.
He knew that it must be the Supervisor who was secretly spreading the news and pointing the finger at him.
That's why the moment he found out about this information, he started to throw dirty water on the Star Empire, saying that it was actually the Star Empire that did it.
Unfortunately, the four major civilizations didn't believe it at all and instead identified him.
This time, it was a tentative attack by the four major civilizations.
Lloyd added: "We have discussed this internally. The four great civilizations have indeed gone too far this time. We will make them behave themselves."
Li Yu didn't expect that the Star Empire already had a plan.
"It's surprising. Why are you so proactive in helping me this time?" Li Yu was a little surprised.
Lloyd said, "Ever since the four civilizations lost the Titan artifact, the interstellar situation has been very tense, and they have a tendency to stick together. We don't want to see a chaotic interstellar world, which would be very troublesome for us."
"If we don't contain them, and they lack a sense of security, no one knows what they can do."
After so much talk, Li Yu finally understood that the Star Empire was afraid that his response would be too radical and cause the interstellar situation to fall into chaos.
"Why don't you just unify and I'll help you." Li Yu suddenly said.
Lloyd's heart suddenly jumped, but he remained calm on the surface. He shook his head and said , "If we want to take action against the four major civilizations, it will cause a chain reaction in other civilizations. By then, the situation will not be resolved in a few thousand years."
Li Yu thought about it and it was true. The remnants left behind after the demise of some small civilizations could survive for hundreds of years and attempt to revive.
Not to mention those slightly larger civilizations.
However, what the Star Empire fears is not that it will take too long, but that something else will happen during this period of time.
For example...the Supervisor suddenly intervenes or something like that.
"However, we plan to support the reformers and cause trouble in their territory." Lloyd changed the subject and said, "Internal fighting is always a great way to consume manpower."
Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "This is a double-edged sword."
"Just hold on tight and it'll be fine."
Since the Star Empire has an action plan, Li Yu is more cooperative.
Afterwards, the Star Empire released a series of evidence, claiming that the Itlan civilization was instructed by certain people to frame Long Zun, and provided a series of evidence.
There were even several high-ranking officials of the Itlan civilization who came out to testify.
Interstellar public opinion was in an uproar and began to focus on the newly revealed information, criticizing the people who were secretly behind it.
Over time, the impact of this incident gradually disappeared.
Soon after, many high-ranking officials of the four major civilizations were exposed in various scandals, and some resistance organizations rose up, leaving them overwhelmed and unable to take care of other things.
Half a year later, with the last group of source essence integrated into the [Holy Covenant of Yuanshi Tianzun], Sai Tianjiao successfully became a super life form.
The five super life forms-level Yuanzu King Kongs were lined up in front of him, which made Li Yu's eyes flash. He could finally take action against the Supervisor!
…
In the Supervisor Base, Dessan and Des were listening to the latest intelligence—
"...Holivias' rotating speaker resigned and admitted that he had used civilized force to protect the descendants' chamber of commerce."
"…Resistance organizations have emerged one after another within the Oren civilization, and the president has already dismissed three supreme commanders…"
"What a bunch of trash..." Di Si snorted coldly when he heard this: "The four civilizations are now busy with their own affairs. I'm afraid it's impossible to ask them to cause trouble to the alien camp."
"Originally, I just wanted to find something to attract their attention so that they wouldn't focus on tracking down the whereabouts of Xinghuo." Di Si shook his head.
"The other party will definitely not let go of this hidden danger if Xinghuo escapes. This is just to prevent them from discovering our little trick."
“It would be best if it succeeds, but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t.”
"The Xingyao Empire has always been wary of us and has not dared to launch a large-scale war of conquest, fearing that we would stab them in the back." Di Si also frowned and said, "In the short term, I'm afraid we won't have a good opportunity to take action. Collect relevant materials and forge a connecting device."
Although they didn't have drawings of the connection device at first.
But as the Forerunners gradually perished, they also found some clues from them, and combined with Starfire's memories, they were able to restore it.
But they have been afraid to collect materials on a large scale to avoid being discovered.
"Don't be in a hurry. We have plenty of time. If we act rashly, it will be bad." Desang's eyes were deep. "The enemy is in the open, and we are in the dark. Dozens or hundreds of years are nothing."
"It won't be too late for us to take action once everything has settled."
Hiding in the dark is their advantage.
It is precisely this advantage that makes the Star Empire extremely wary of them and restrained in doing things.
"Well, the alien camp is hidden in the dark, and we are also hidden in the dark. Now it depends on who hides deeper." Di Si sneered:
"I just don't believe they can hide better than us!"
As the last conservative group, they rarely leave this base and never go out.
boom!
As soon as the words fell, the entire base suddenly shook violently, accompanied by a roar and violent energy fluctuations.
