Chapter 912: Peace Talks and Problems
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was two months later.
The public meeting room of the Great Cosmic Alliance was packed with leaders of all civilizations, as if something big was about to happen.
They focused their attention on the five figures in the front row.
Today is the first official meeting between the Great Cosmic Alliance and the United Front.
They will come up with an effective solution to the implicit confrontation between the two to avoid escalating into greater friction.
Even so, Droyeda looked unhappy, because their internal battle plan against Long Zun was leaked some time ago, causing his reputation to be seriously damaged again.
Among the five major civilizations, the Prophet, as the direct controller of the Device of Annihilation, is high above everyone else and no one can restrain him.
The ultimate wisdom is a similar existence, not to mention the God of Creation.
The Protoss High Priest was killed in the battle.
Only he is still constrained by the political system and has to face the criticism from citizens within the country.
In particular, there were people secretly stirring up trouble, framing the death of the Protoss High Priest as their lack of support.
"Roger, it was you who leaked the plan to hunt down Dragon Lord, right?" He looked at Roger with an unfriendly tone.
"Citizens need a place to vent," Roger responded indifferently.
"So you're saying that the high priest's death was due to our poor support?" Drogheda said angrily, "It was obviously his own fault that he couldn't hold on, but what does it have to do with us?"
"If you had gone faster, the high priest wouldn't have to die." Roger's answer was concise and to the point, which made Droyeda very upset.
"Besides, they didn't question me about Ultimate Wisdom, so why are you talking so much?"
"Hmph, you know it yourself." Drogheda said unhappily. If he was like the Ultimate Wisdom, he would definitely not care about this matter.
"They are coming, stop arguing," the prophet said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of remote projections appeared opposite them, which were the many civilizations of the United Front.
At first, neither side spoke, but looked at each other.
Before, they always communicated with each other from a distance, but this was the first time they sat together like this.
"It's an honor to meet you all." Ultimate Wisdom spoke first, his words without any emotion, as if a robot was reading lines.
“Your Excellency Ultimate Wisdom, I have heard of it a long time ago.” Head of Kabbalah also nodded.
"Stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point." Drogheda said impatiently, and this tone made many civilized leaders of the United Front change color slightly.
They are also the kings and hegemons in their own little piece of land, even if they are not as good as any of the five major civilizations.
But when they unite, their strength on paper is definitely not weak.
Moreover, the Iron-Blooded Civilization had lost the Holy Spear of Arnania, and now the only thing that could cause them trouble was an unknown number of super life forms.
But when it comes to overwhelming advantages, the Iron-Blooded Civilization basically has none.
In this situation, Drogheda still maintains this condescending attitude, which is somewhat uncomfortable.
"Mr. Drogheda, we are not your subordinates. Please be careful with your words." A civilized leader of the United Front said bluntly.
Droyeda's eyes moved slightly. The reaction of this group of people made him realize that their fear of the Great Cosmic Alliance was not as great as he had imagined.
This is somewhat different from the results they obtained in previous contacts.
"Mr. Droyeda has been in a bad mood recently. You are all the shining pearls of the universe's civilization. War is something none of us want to see." Roger took over the conversation and said:
"Some time ago, there were obviously some misunderstandings between us, which caused some minor frictions, but I think these can be resolved."
Roger's gentle attitude somewhat eased the tense atmosphere on the scene.
Everyone is well aware of this negotiation technique. It's nothing more than one person playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop.
What they care about is the attitude shown by the Great Cosmic Alliance. Since they used this negotiation technique, it means that the other party does not want to go to war either.
"In the vast universe, every civilization is worth protecting." The ultimate wisdom emitted a wave, which caused many civilization leaders behind him to reveal subtle expressions.
You have indeed "protected" many civilizations in eternity.
"We have drawn up a cooperation contract. Only by helping each other can we go further in the universe." The ultimate wisdom focuses on being straightforward and transmitting information directly.
This efficiency really surprised many civilized leaders of the United Front.
The prophet's eyes were calm, but in fact there was an information gap between the two of them.
The Great Cosmic Alliance does not have much understanding of the specific strength of these civilizations and has only made relevant speculations.
Under such circumstances, they did not want to start a war easily.
But the other party doesn't know.
In the other party's cognition, since the Great Universe Alliance knew their coordinates, they must have already understood their strength.
Although the Great Cosmic Alliance denied that they were the ones who sent the declaration of war, they acknowledged that they had already controlled the coordinates.
Therefore, what they need to do now is to thoroughly understand the specific strength of the other party.
"We have no problem with anything else, but this 'jointly building a long-distance teleportation stargate' is a little too fast."
The United Front discussed for a moment, and then Head of Kabala asked.
The other conditions were purely cooperation agreements, with only this one being the construction of a jump stargate.
The distance between them is very far, and it would take decades to dispatch a fleet unilaterally.
But if both sides coordinate to build a jump stargate, the distance will be infinitely shortened.
But the danger is self-evident, the enemy's warships can also arrive directly through the star gate.
"But if we don't build the jump star gate, this cooperation is completely empty talk. Trust needs to be established, and we also bear risks." Roger said slowly.
The United Front held another round of urgent discussions before President Kabala frowned and responded, "Yes, but anyone who passes through the jump star gate will be subject to strict scrutiny, and both sides have the right to take direct action to capture any suspects."
"Okay." Ultimate Wisdom agreed immediately.
All other cooperation agreements are just to serve as a cover for the long-distance jump stargate. As long as you agree to build the stargate, everything will be fine.
Then some details were explained, and there was not much tension or gunpowder in the first meeting between the two sides.
Instead, it seems like two consortiums conducting business together.
This meeting lasted for five full days before it ended. After the background members of the Great Cosmic Alliance left one after another, Droyeda spoke:
"Their fear of us has been greatly reduced, and they even feel like they want to be on equal terms with us."
“I no longer have the fear and anxiety I had before.”
"It must be because they heard about recent events. The five major civilizations joined forces but couldn't even catch a Dragon Lord. It's really hard for people to feel fearful of them." The prophet said indifferently.
"It doesn't matter. We just need to find out their specific strength and then formulate an action plan." Roger said nonchalantly: "But, that Kabala leader does make me feel a little strange."
"According to our analysis, they should be the most powerful among this group of civilizations, but just now they seemed to have no opinions of their own and were only trying to integrate the opinions of other civilizations."
Droyeda speculated: "We don't have their specific coordinates. The declaration of war a while ago was most likely initiated by them. The purpose was to form a united front and carry out some secret operations."
At the moment, neither side wants to fight, and as long as no one interferes, it will be difficult for the fight to start.
After everyone discussed for a while, there was suddenly an external communication request.
" Damian? What's the matter with him?" Drogheda asked doubtfully and chose to allow access.
"What do you want?" Drogheda asked directly, still very impolite.
"My Lords, have the negotiations with the United Front ended?" Damian asked.
"Nonsense, just say what you mean," Drogheda scolded.
"I have an idea about the Star Empire. It might be of some use to Dragon Lord." He said.
"I want to remove the rule-entangled area and let the Star Empire face the universe directly."
Damian said something shocking.
"Oh, why?" Roger asked, looking at Damian.
"I think the United Front may be a key chess piece to deal with Long Zun." Damian expressed his opinion: "Both internal and external troubles are enemies, so why not let them bite us."
Roger understood what Damian meant: "There is no hatred between them, so they need a fuse. Do you want to use the Star Empire as the fuse?"
“Yes, you are right.” Damian bowed his head and complimented.
“It’s enough to open up the rule-entanglement area and create some conflicts.”
"Then how can you guarantee that Dragon Lord will not vent his anger on the Great Cosmic Alliance?" Roger asked back.
Dragon Lord has already used it once. No matter who is against the Star Empire, I will fight according to the Great Cosmic Alliance. Although it is a rogue, it is very useful.
“I can’t guarantee that.” Damian shook his head honestly. “I am just offering an idea. The decision is up to you.”
Now, Roger hesitated, but it did sound like a good idea.
If Long Zun and the United Front could really confront each other, it would be beneficial to them no matter what.
"We can give it a try." The prophet suddenly spoke up, "It's a good opportunity to confirm whether the Star Empire is really that important to him."
"What's more, as long as the one who took action is the United Front, he will not ignore his so-called enemy."
Roger thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "In that case, go ahead and give it a try."
Generally speaking, this is not a big deal. It is nothing more than spending some resources, and no one else objects to it.
It was treated as a casual move, and no one doubted Damian's motives.
Because Li Yu's previous performance was entirely intended to preserve the Starry Empire. In this case, the rule entanglement area was the Starry Empire's biggest protective shield.
Under this premise, it is impossible for them to think that Damian has been coerced by Li Yu.
…
Not long after, Li Yu received an unknown message. After deciphering it, a smile appeared on his face.
"Using the opportunity to make me clash with the United Front as a starting point, tsk... Damian..."
He didn't care about Damian's plan, as long as he didn't have to worry about it and the rule entanglement area was resolved.
As for the conflict issue, that will come later.
The situation was turbulent, and the initial cooperation with the United Front became the top priority of the Great Cosmic Alliance.
As for the name Long Zun, it seemed to have been tacitly forgotten by the five major civilizations.
In the blink of an eye, four months passed and Li Yu's secret base was covered by a layer of light golden light.
It is the [Temple of Departure] that prevents this place from being found by the enemy.
He stood in front of a small star gate and said with some emotion: "Fortunately, this intersection has not disappeared."
His luck was quite bad. Among the five intersection points he sent his men to, two had disappeared inexplicably.
Fortunately, the third one did not disappear, otherwise he would have to wait another two months.
After thinking about it, he decided not to take the [Temple of Departure] away.
Although the Great Cosmic Alliance has not made any moves on the surface, it must be carrying out various actions in secret, constantly searching for all people related to him.
They were no longer completely ignorant of the ruins of the Titan civilization, and they had collected countless related traces and clues.
Hunter and others do not have the strength to fight against the five major civilizations. On the contrary, he himself is preparing to enter the deep dimensional world, so he does not need it.
Taking one step forward, they arrived at another place in the blink of an eye. This was a desolate planet, only a few days away from the intersection point.
This is an , and is also secretly guarded.
But for him now, sneaking in is naturally not difficult at all.
Through the bizarre intersection channel, he descended into the deep dimensional world again.
However, the moment he entered the deep dimensional world, he felt an inexplicable throbbing sensation, which made Li Yu frown slightly:
"Why do I feel like something is different?"
