Chapter 922: Beyond! Beyond!
The disappearance of the rule entanglement area did not cause any surprising phenomenon. Silently, the barrier separating the two sides disappeared.
But the storm caused by this began to surge beneath the calm sea surface.
"Hey, have you heard? The Great Cosmic Alliance seems to have discovered a new civilization site." In the bar, the black-haired creature touched the slug next to him.
"You are out of date. That is the ruins of a powerful civilization." Slug shook his head. "Moreover, it is the birthplace of the most wanted criminal in the universe - Long Zun."
"Fuck, with such a big background, he must be very powerful." Heimao was obviously shocked.
"Wrong again." The slug swallowed a long creature next to it into its body, and seemed to be doing some indescribable movement. It explained with a hum:
"On the contrary, according to the civilization classification rules just promulgated by the Great Cosmic Alliance, that civilization barely meets the A-level standard."
"Only A-level? Just barely? So low?" Heimao was a little surprised and confused.
"Yes, it is said that the civilization there is not on good terms with Dragon Lord and they treat each other as enemies."
"So stupid? Someone as powerful as Long Zun would be considered an enemy by his birthplace?"
"Who knows..."
Such conversations spread among the civilizations of the Great Cosmic Alliance.
News about the Star Empire spread like wildfire, but it was slightly different from the truth.
Nine truths and one lie are the most deceptive.
However, for most people, this is not surprising news or information, and it does not attract much attention.
If it wasn't related to Dragon Lord, I'm afraid few people would care.
It’s just an A-level civilization, what kind of trouble can it cause?
But the situation inside the Star Empire was completely different. After the rule entanglement area was released, it was exactly as Lloyd expected.
A large number of civilizations announced their separation from the Star Empire and attempted to contact the Great Cosmic Alliance.
At first they were a little nervous, fearing that the other party would not accept it.
But the Great Cosmic Alliance welcomed their arrival and treated them equally.
It is regarded as an alliance cooperation relationship and enjoys all privileges, and weak civilizations also receive relevant support.
This immediately provided a guiding light for many leaders of civilizations who had long been dissatisfied with Lloyd and Long Zun, or who feared outside civilizations, and they all turned to the embrace of the Great Cosmic Alliance.
In less than a month, more than 95 percent of the civilizations that originally belonged to the Star Empire Federation broke away.
The Great Cosmic Alliance joined with great joy and embraced the "universe".
There were even many civilization leaders who spread the cruelty of the Star Empire and criticized Long Zun to show their loyalty.
Only Lloyd remained unmoved and had no intention of contacting the Great Cosmic Alliance.
The Great Cosmic Alliance also strangely treated the Star Empire as if it did not exist and turned a blind eye to it.
Seeing that former allies were connecting with the universe one after another, the atmosphere within the Star Empire was not too anxious.
Even praised Lloyd's approach.
After all, when they were living in the ruins of the Titan civilization, the citizens of the Star Empire were the best of the best and were treated differently wherever they went.
But when he came to this universe, his status suddenly plummeted to the bottom, and there were celestial dragons everywhere, which made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Lloyd's "arrogant" behavior actually touched their hearts.
However, some people are very pessimistic. Through the contact during this period, they have learned that the Dragon Lord, whom they worship as a god, is a complete enemy of the Great Cosmic Alliance, and the war will not stop until one dies.
Faced with the gap between the enemy and us, many people have begun clamoring for surrender and even stigmatizing Long Zun.
But all of this had been anticipated by Lloyd, who was well prepared. He checked IP addresses, visited people, and arrested people in one go, thus keeping the unrest in the country under limited control.
…
In the blink of an eye, another half a year passed, and more than six years had passed since Li Yu began to break through the evolutionary barriers.
In the mimicry shield, the ocean of energy that was full of energy had long disappeared, and with the last ray of hazy light it merged into Li Yu's body.
After many years, he slowly opened his eyes.
A sharp light cut through the starry sky, splitting the space and forming an expansive crack that spread like a spider web.
Seeing this, Li Yu raised his hand and restrained his breath.
With a casual wipe, the expansive space crack was gradually smoothed out, and the universe was restored to its original state.
"It's really a... brand new feeling." Li Yu felt the power surging in his body and felt as if he could do anything.
But this is not quite the same as the state of using the [Infinity Gauntlet].
This is the pinnacle of individual power, and is completely different from changing the rules of the universe.
The only difference is that he can now also change the rules of the universe, it’s just a matter of how much he pays.
"And...it's actually upgraded..."
What he could not have imagined was that this evolution brought about a system upgrade.
[The host has been detected to have reached the pinnacle of the universe, the system is being upgraded...]
A simple reminder and the blocking of the clone's delivery function made Li Yu feel very sorry.
But this upgrade shocked him greatly, and he had some vague expectations.
With a flash of his body, he appeared in a room where Payton was fiddling with something. Others had also received the news and were rushing over.
"Let me draw a tube of blood..." Payton started by doing the classic blood drawing, which made Li Yu frown.
But this time, even if Li Yu let down his defense, Payton tried his best but couldn't draw out a single drop.
"Forget it, I'll just squeeze in." Li Yu stretched out his fingers, ready to squeeze into the highly reinforced freezer.
Under Peyton's expectant eyes, a drop of crystal clear blood slowly emerged, the surrounding space began to distort, and gradually emitted a field.
As soon as it appeared, his expression suddenly changed, and he said, "Put it away quickly..."
Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and collected the drop of blood.
"I am not qualified to study it yet..." Peyton looked dejected and shook his head, "It will infect the surrounding space and cause unpredictable disasters."
"Is he awake? Is he awake?"
A burst of chirping sounds came from outside. The first one to arrive here was the hunter. He looked extremely excited and kept circling around Li Yu.
He also tried to reach out and pinch Li Yu's muscles, but was stopped by an invisible force.
Li Yu said angrily: "If you are sick, get out of here, don't get sick here!"
"Are you now a life form that surpasses super life forms?" the hunter asked.
"Yes." Li Yu nodded.
"Invincible?" The hunter looked very excited.
"I'm not sure, but I think so." Li Yu made a conservative estimate.
"Damn, I can finally deal with those civilizations." The hunter stretched out his fist and gestured, extremely excited.
Not wanting to bother with this guy, Li Yu looked at the people who were arriving one after another. Moduo and Klein were the absolute protagonists, and everyone tacitly made way.
They pretended nothing had happened and stayed nearby, very curious about which of them Li Yu would speak to first.
The hunters, in particular, stared intently.
"I'm sorry to have worried you." Li Yu looked calm, his eyes accurately fixed on the area between Klein and Modo.
Like a master of keeping balance who has no emotions.
"Ha!" The hunter laughed in suppressed excitement. "I knew this guy would be a fool!"
“Winner takes all!”
There were some faint groans from the people around, like regret or something like that.
"I should have pressed Lord Hunter earlier. After all, he follows Lord Longzun himself."
"Goddess Moduo has also followed Lord Long Zun from the beginning."
"But His Majesty Klein stayed with me longer..."
The low noise reached Li Yu's ears clearly , leaving him speechless.
Damn, are these people too idle to actually bet on something like this?
Klein and Murdo were both a little disappointed, and then they seemed to want to speak.
But he noticed the other person's movements out of the corner of his eye and closed his mouth at the same time, as if he didn't want to speak at the same time as the other person.
You guys cooperated well... Li Yu's mouth twitched slightly, then he pretended not to see it and said to those around him, "Go do what you need to do, don't hang around here."
After hearing the order, everyone staggered and left one after another.
Murdo and Klein seemed to be angry. Without saying a word, they turned around and left.
However, just as they left, Li Yu’s smart terminal vibrated one after another. It was obvious that it was the messages they sent.
Li Yu glanced at her and said speechlessly: "Women are so troublesome..."
"Indeed." The hunter beside him nodded seriously.
Li Yu glanced at him and said, "During the time I was asleep, what was going on in the outside world?"
The hunter restrained his smile and said solemnly: "The rule entanglement area has been resolved. All major civilizations have announced their withdrawal from the Star Empire. Only a few civilizations such as Guixing are still holding on."
"The Great Cosmic Alliance has not contacted the Star Empire, but other civilizations that broke away have joined the Great Cosmic Alliance and received support."
"Has the rule entanglement area been released?" Li Yu then remembered to look through the system, and sure enough, he found a few lines of prompts.
[Phase 4 Mission - Embracing the Universe - Completed]
[Task Rating: S]
[Obtain special item - National Enlightenment and Spiritual Binding: an exclusive item for the Star Empire. After using it, the wisdom of the newly born citizens of the empire will be significantly improved, and without damaging their creativity, they will have a natural liking for the host.]
【National Enlightenment·Spiritual Bondage】
Li Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect it would be such a reward.
After thinking about it, I decided to just use it. It wouldn't do him any harm anyway.
[The final stage of the mission begins - Enemy of the Universe: The Star Empire has been excluded and targeted by the Great Cosmic Alliance. This is a shame that must be washed away.]
[Mission requirements: Make the Great Cosmic Alliance feel afraid, forced to accept the Star Empire, and take a dominant position.]
[Note: System upgrade detected, additional anchor progress will be awarded after completing the series of tasks. ]
"Well... we've finally come to this point." Li Yu was not surprised about the final stage of the task.
Originally, the [Counterattack] series of missions was aimed at the Great Cosmic Alliance.
But the last tip is quite interesting, “anchor progress”, which is a new term, most likely related to the system upgrade.
But now there was no beginning or end, and he couldn't guess anything.
"Let the Great Cosmic Alliance feel fear..." Li Yu stroked his chin, thinking secretly.
And the hunter is still telling-
"...Recently, something unfavorable to the Star Empire has happened. The joint laboratory built near the Titan civilization is secretly studying interstellar humans..."
"...You know, interstellar humans account for as much as 74% of the Star Empire, and it is said that more than 10 million people have been captured."
"Studying interstellar humans?" Li Yu frowned slightly.
The hunter was a little angry when he said this. After all, he was also an interstellar human and he felt the same way. He said:
"According to the information we received, it seems that the civilization of the United Front accidentally discovered that interstellar humans are very good experimental materials, so they took this action."
"The Star Empire and even the Great Cosmic Alliance have warned them several times, but they remain unmoved. The Joint Laboratory has more than 100,000 ships stationed in the United Front fleet, all of which are elite troops."
"There's no way we can defeat the Xingyao Empire."
After hearing this, Li Yu finally understood what was going on.
It was clearly the aftereffect of Damian's excuse for lifting the rules-entangled area.
The Great Cosmic Alliance is deliberately causing conflict between the Star Empire and the United Front.
Interstellar humans are the Titans' most proud creations. They are blueprint-level creatures. Although they have a low starting point, they have unlimited possibilities.
It is normal to be noticed by the United Front, and the Great Cosmic Alliance must have played an inducing role in it.
"I'm afraid they also want to take this opportunity to see if the Star Empire is so important to me, and even prepared a powerful trap to deal with my appearance."
Li Yu's eyes flickered. For the Great Universe Alliance, this was just a casual move. If it was useful, that would be the best. If it wasn't, there would be no loss.
"This is really a good opportunity. We can beat them all at once, so we don't have to come one by one."
As if he had thought of it, Li Yu revealed an inexplicable smile, which made the hunter's tail vertebrae feel cold.
