Chapter 852: The Dilemma of the Star Empire
However, when the hunter saw who came out of the portal, his expression became tense: "Andre? Why is it you?"
Andre glanced at the hunter without saying anything. After looking around, he returned to the traditional passage.
Not long after, Li Yu came out. After seeing the surrounding scenes, he couldn't help but said, "Hey, they are all here..."
The hunter's expression finally relaxed, and he realized that Andre had just come to explore the way.
Li Yu walked out only after he was sure there was no danger.
"You're finally back..." The hunter finally let out a long sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
"What's wrong?" Li Yu heard the hunter's tone and keenly realized that something might have happened in this interstellar space during the time he was away.
"It's hard to explain it in one sentence. Let's go back to Yuxu Palace first." The hunter opened his mouth, as if he didn't know where to start, and said.
Li Yu nodded, and seeing Peyton approaching , he asked, "What is the situation in the outside universe? Have you found out?"
"I've almost touched it all..." Li Yu casually took out a USB flash drive and handed it to Payton: "I knew you would be curious. This contains basic information about the outside universe. Take a look."
Payton was overjoyed and took it quickly, then ran to the side to examine it. A group of researchers nearby also poked their heads out to take a look.
Those are basic information and do not contain deeper secrets.
The hunter was somewhat curious about this, but did not go over to join in the fun.
The dimensional rift opened quickly and everyone returned to Yuxu Palace.
His return naturally caused a sensation. Due to the special circumstances of this interstellar space, his men basically no longer moved around outside and all returned to Yuxu Palace on standby.
So, this time it was a rare occasion that so many people came together, a huge crowd.
Li Yu was a little surprised, and then seemed to be thinking about something.
"You all actually returned here. It seems that the situation in this interstellar space is worse than I thought."
“I’m glad you’re back…” Sinai’s temperament became more and more elegant and noble. Being in a high position for a long time, one would naturally cultivate the corresponding temperament.
However, the current interstellar situation is not something she can control. Fortunately, Li Yu has returned.
After exchanging greetings with everyone for a while, Li Yu brought a few core members to the main hall.
The layout here was no different from when he left and was well maintained.
He sat casually in the main seat, looked around, and said, "Tell me, what's going on recently."
Everyone was silent for a moment, as if they were organizing their words. Hunter was the first to speak: "Several large civilizations, led by Hollyvias, have frequently had friction with the Star Empire."
"Recently, there is a trend towards war."
"Oh?" Li Yu was quite surprised: "Did they take the wrong medicine? Why did they suddenly turn against the XJ Empire?"
"It's like this..." Sinai took over the conversation and said, "About half a year ago, the Xingyao Empire suddenly discovered that Holivias and the Spiritual Civilization were secretly collecting some special materials."
"According to their information, the materials collected by these two civilizations overlap by more than 80 percent with those collected by the forerunners."
"The Star Empire sent out inquiries about this, but these two civilizations did not give any response."
"The overlap with the materials collected by the forerunners is more than 80%?" Li Yu pondered this sentence.
The purpose of the Forerunners collecting materials is to create a link device.
Could it be that these two civilizations have similar plans?
Hearing this, he suddenly asked, "Are there people from the outside world who have come to this interstellar space?"
"Yes..." The hunter nodded: "The Star Empire also speculated so."
"Not long after the Star Empire raised its question, a battle broke out between Hollyvias and the Star Empire in a certain star field."
"During that battle, a super life form suddenly emerged from Hollyvias, which made the Star Empire quite wary."
"Then, they just laid it out in the open and started acting without any scruples."
"With the power of the Star Empire, can't it deal with a super life form?" Li Yu was a little confused.
The hunter sighed, "There is one from Hollyvias , and two from the Spiritual Masters. They seem to be at odds with each other, but for now they have temporarily united to fight against the Star Empire."
"The three super life forms should come from the Eternal Civilization and the Zero Civilization respectively..." Li Yu estimated the time and found that only these two civilizations were suspicious.
"Moreover, they are also very interested in you and are using various means to collect your information, Guixing..." At this point, the hunter hesitated for a moment.
"Guixing? What happened to Klein?" Li Yu narrowed his eyes and his voice became a little colder.
Seeing Li Yu's expression, the hunter said hurriedly, "Klein is fine. The capital of Guixing was attacked by an unknown super life form. The top leaders used the Veil of Death to escort Klein out of the capital."
"Currently hiding in a secret base."
Li Yu's eyes flickered, and he nodded slowly: "I already know the general situation, I will deal with them as soon as possible."
Whether it was the Titan artifact or the news about himself, Klein would become a target of attack.
Hearing this, the hunter hesitated and said, "Holivia has the support of outside civilizations behind it, and will fight with the Star Empire sooner or later."
"We don't need to help the Star Empire. Perhaps we can leave here temporarily and use the link channel to go to the outside world."
"Leave here? Go to the outside world..." Li Yu's expression became strange. Andre couldn't help but touch his nose and sighed.
The reason why he returned to this interstellar space was to avoid tracking and maximize his strength.
If we were to go out into the outside world with our family now, wouldn't we be walking into a trap?
"What's wrong?"
The hunter also keenly noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere.
"I got into some trouble outside. The outside world is far more dangerous than this interstellar space." Li Yu said lightly: "There are only a few super life forms here. It's easy to deal with."
"Are you in some trouble?" The hunter had a bad feeling, so he pursed his lips and asked, "What kind of trouble is it at your current level of life?"
Several super life forms are nothing in Li Yu's eyes, but he calls things in the outside world troubles, which shows how serious it is.
Li Yu thought for a while and said, "To sum it up, there are five ruling civilizations in the outside world, which are above all other civilizations, and each of them is at a similar level to the Titan civilization."
The hunter nodded and waited for the next words.
"I provoked three..."
The hunter nodded subconsciously, then suddenly widened his eyes in shock.
What the hell?
Provoked three?
How long have you been out?
The efficiency is so high!
"Which three?" Payton, who had been studying external information nearby, suddenly asked.
"Eternal, Zero, Iron Blood..." Li Yu said, and then added: "And due to some special reasons, the other two are also eyeing me covetously."
"As expected of you..." The hunter squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and then laughed inexplicably.
"Are you scared out of your wits?" Li Yu looked at the laughing hunter suspiciously.
"Go away..." The hunter said unhappily, "I just feel that all these scenes have an inexplicable sense of déjà vu."
"It feels like I've experienced this before."
"Alas, there's nothing I can do. Many things are legacy issues and cannot be changed." Li Yu also sighed.
The others didn't react much when they heard this.
This is mainly because this level is too far away from them and it is difficult for them to actually experience the sense of oppression.
"Do you have a plan?" the hunter asked. Although they were shocked at first, they had actually faced such situations many times.
"Grow first, then talk."
The hunter agreed: "Well, this star system is quite safe. There is enough time for development."
"I forgot to tell you that they have formed some kind of great cosmic alliance. They are going to join forces to explore this area. It won't be safe here for long." Li Yu told the hunter thoughtfully.
hunter:"……"
Why don't you just let me die in ignorance?
"Haha..." Looking at the hunter's hopeless expression, Li Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Actually, it's not that hopeless."
"Let me clean up this interstellar space first."
As a first step, he planned to find all the Titan artifacts and allow all the original King Kongs to evolve into super life forms.
Let’s see if there is anything else that [Holy Covenant of Yuanshi Tianzun] can do.
However, the super life forms of the Eternal Civilization and Civilization Zero are hidden dangers and must be eliminated as soon as possible.
…
In the secret meeting room of the Xingyao Empire, the emperor sat in the main seat, but the aura around him was somewhat unsettled.
There is also a new face in the eight-man group - the new Sissoko.
"The third round of negotiations is about to begin. The resistance alliance that Holivias has formed has already set out and is preparing to travel to our border. A war could start at any time."
Loren explained the general situation, and the atmosphere was silent and gloomy.
"They asked us to pay a series of relevant materials, otherwise there would be war."
"What on earth do they want those materials for!?" the new Sissoko couldn't help but ask.
Loren shook his head: "I don't know. The Forerunners collected a large part of that material. Later, the Transfiguration Corps also collected some of it, and some of it was intercepted by us..."
"Rare materials such as 'Virtual Energy Particles' and 'Kannar Crystal Cores' are no longer available on the market. Currently, they are only stored in our warehouse."
"Otherwise, just give it to them." Someone suddenly said.
"No!" The Emperor refused firmly: "Although I don't know what they are collecting materials for, they must be very important to those outsiders."
"It would be unwise to hand over those materials just to gain a breathing space."
Mozambique frowned and said, "But once the war starts, we will be stuck in this quagmire. Those outsiders only regard Holivias and others as consumables and don't care about them at all."
"Still no news from Dragon Lord? I just want to know what those materials are used for?" the emperor asked.
"No, they were vague about it." Loren shook his head.
"The alien camp is not a civilization. They don't need to persist like us, and they won't stand on our side. Don't count on them." Mozambique shook his head and sighed:
"In this interstellar world, we have no allies and can only rely on ourselves."
Loren's expression flickered, but he didn't say anything.
"Humph, if it weren't for us, his lover Klein would have died long ago. We have also helped his people many times, but now you don't even give us a message!" Morgan also said dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, let's get ready. If they want to fight, then let's fight!" said the emperor in a deep voice.
Several noble controllers looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something, but no one said it and they all went offline.
Only Loren was left to face the Emperor.
"Some people's will has wavered." The emperor looked grim.
"As expected." Loren said calmly.
The emperor's eyes were cold: "If I am willing to compromise, then it won't be their turn."
“Can a civilization that loses its independence still be called a civilization?”
In fact, it’s not that no one has come into contact with the Emperor. After all, as the most powerful civilization in the universe, they are the best partners.
However, he rejected them all outright.
"That is a despairing power." Loren said again, with a complicated look in his eyes.
It has been some time since the life forms from outside came to this civilization, so they will leak some information.
The information was also leaked when they were trying to win over the emperor.
Just from a few words, one can guess how powerful they are.
Facing such power, the Xingyao Empire had almost no room for resistance.
"It's not so easy to break through the desolate universe zone. We still have time to make up the gap." The emperor said in a dim tone, and the energy fluctuations in his body fluctuated again.
"Haven't you treated the scars from last time yet?" Loren asked.
"The energy properties of that mechanical life form are very strange. It has strong corrosive and parasitic properties. It constantly neutralizes the cells in my body and infects them." The Emperor was silent for a moment and then said:
"It's like his base has developed inside me."
"His strength is far beyond ours. He must have gone a long way in the subsequent evolution of super life."
Loren hesitated to speak and sighed inwardly.
From this point, we can see that many gaps cannot be made up simply by time.
However, he didn't say this out loud.
