Li Yu was panting heavily. Although he was using external Faith, and his own energy was at most acting as a relay.
Even so, it still brought him an unimaginable burden.
However, all of this was worth it. Feeling the "pulse" coming from the [Death Star] beneath his feet, his heart was exceptionally carefree.
But right now, the work was only half done.
He stood on the [Death Star], looking around. Under the gazes of Horus, Siegel, and Codri, he disappeared from the Surface of the [Death Star].
In the next mont, he appeared at the core of the [Death Star]. Now the internal structure of the [Death Star] had undergone Earth-shattering changes.
Most of the Cabins had disappeared, and a central core resembling a brain appeared in the center, flickering with translucent blue light.
And now, Li Yu was in front of this core. Holding [Quintessa's Life Scepter], without any hesitation, he directly inserted it into the core in front of him.
In an instant, Li Yu could clearly feel the entire [Death Star] trembling.
From [Quintessa's Life Scepter], a continuous stream of Golden Radiance surged into the central core, and spread to other parts through the pipes connected around the core.
And the people outside could see dazzling Golden Radiance suddenly bursting out from the crevices of the originally silent [Death Star].
However, just as everyone's Attention was slightly shaken and they were preparing to observe carefully, the huge [Death Star] actually disappeared directly in front of them.
"This again!"
This sentence simultaneously surfaced in the hearts of Horus and Codri.
They couldn't figure out what kind of thod this was, and even less believed that the massive [Death Star] could be stored in a Space Compression Device.
The massive mass was enough to destroy any Compressed Space.
Only Li Yu himself remained in place. He looked at the description in the System Space, his expression strange.
The [Death Star] had now completely changed; even the description and na had changed.
[Emperor Death Star - The ultimate combat fortress from the Galaxy Empire, rged with Allspark Runes, becoming a brand new chanical Lifeform. It also received a portion of power from Unicron, causing it to undergo another unknown tamorphosis.]
[No one knows exactly what kind of combat power this fortress, which gathers the essence of multiple worlds, can erupt with.]
[Emperor Death Star], this na sounds domineering, Li Yu pondered.
However, to avoid exposing more secrets, he didn't completely display the [Emperor Death Star] in front of everyone.
Exactly what kind of changes had occurred, couldn't be seen for the ti being just from a few lines of system description.
"Yo, everyone is here..." He flew in front of the few people nonchalantly, looking as if "nothing happened, what you just saw was an illusion."
Horus and Codri also tactfully didn't ask. Anyway, they wouldn't be able to get any answers, and might even be disgusted, so it was better not to ask.
However, although Codri didn't ask about what just happened, he changed the subject: "Salvation Ark has extrely unique insights and research on life Technology. If needed, we can exchange ideas."
Obviously, he was still planning on a Technology exchange. He increasingly felt that the Dinsional Camp must have extrely cutting-edge Technology.
"No problem. I've long heard of your Ark System." Li Yu nodded. Anyway, who knew when the real exchange would happen; he'd agree to it first.
Codri narrowed his eyes slightly. The Ark System was the core Technology of Salvation Ark, just like ditation's Artificial Gods technology and the Abyss's Dinsional Search Technology.
Core Technology was never within the scope of exchange, but Codri didn't say anything and just smiled it off.
He glanced at Siegel, confirming the other party's Identity, which also solved his doubts.
So Li Yu was excited earlier because he could transform this Interstellar Fortress?
Combining the five Artificial God Statues that appeared on the Interstellar Fortress just now, plus Siegel's recent news, he had roughly deduced the course of events.
It was nothing more than the Artificial God Statues brought by Siegel being an important energy core, so Li Yu was excited.
This made Codri couldn't help but shake his head. To be exceptionally excited just because of this, Li Yu was too unable to keep his composure.
This was just a minor interlude. After it ended, everyone returned to their respective warships, and the Black Pupil Fleet continued to sail.
And ti quickly passed by another half a month...
The interior Research Base of the Four-Ard Titan Legion
"Adjust the light energy coefficient up by 0.752 points, and adjust both the Spatial Coefficient and Gravity coefficient back to 1.346..."
A Middle-Aged Man wearing a research uniform issued commands thodically. Glazed Star shuttled among nurous Researchers.
In the special environntal cabin in front of him, 21 Cipher Orbs bobbed up and down, slowly moving in special trajectories.
Following his commands, the Cipher Orbs gradually blood with different colors, and a large number of distorted characters surfaced in the Void.
"It's cracked... It's cracked!"
A Researcher let out an excited shout.
"Record the characters and hurry up with the translation." The Middle-Aged Man remained calm, but many Researchers still noticed him let out a slight sigh of relief.
Half a month had passed since they obtained this batch of Cipher Orbs, and now they had finally cracked it within the estimated ti.
Glazed Star's eyes flickered. Mixed among the nurous Researchers, she began to translate those distorted characters.
............
"There's less than a month until the approximate ti Destiny peered into. Why hasn't there been any movent from the Star Glory Empire? Could it be they haven't cracked it yet?"
It was another tripartite talks. The Grand Duke of Blood looked at the Holographic Screen, his tone sowhat impatient.
The voice on the left said: "It should be soon. After all, it's not the Imperial Research Institute headquarters, just a branch sent out. It's normal for it to take a little longer."
The voice on the right said: "If those nine Cipher Orbs weren't in the Empire's hands, we'd only know the approximate ti but not the specific location, and it wouldn't be this troubleso."
"Even if the Empire cracks it, will they act according to our plan? They must have discovered there's a conspiracy behind this." The Grand Duke of Blood was sowhat worried.
The scale of the battlefield involved this ti, and the height of the life tiers, were extrely rare after the interstellar situation cald down. Moreover, he was one of the masterminds behind the scenes, holding the initiative.
This was a rare opportunity, absolutely not to be missed, and he didn't want any unexpected situations to happen either.
"According to Destiny, they can obtain the thod to calculate the coordinates from the Cipher Orbs, but the thod to calculate the ti isn't among them."
The voice on the right said: "In order not to miss this opportunity, the Star Glory Empire will definitely launch an operation imdiately upon learning the coordinates."
"That's right." The voice on the left agreed. This was an Overt Strategy, Gambling on the Star Glory Empire being full of confidence in themselves, daring to ignore the threats and head straight for the target.
.........
[Obtained Special Item - Chaotic Speech: A speech that is Utter Nonsense, but can make people generate trust.]
This thing isn't bad, it can be used as a small thod to pit people. Li Yu was browsing the [System Log], checking the harvest of the Second Clone during this period.
The Second Clone was truly as steady as an old dog. Even with the [Butterfly Effect], this trouble attractor present, he had survived until now without being focused fired and killed by the Galactic Republic.
After all, with the Death Star, an ultimate weapon even surpassing the Death Star, there would absolutely be no problem in killing a Second Clone.
Now that Palpatine had beco the Supre Chancellor, the Galactic Republic would be in a relatively peaceful era for a long ti, making it even harder for Number Two to die.
The one above was just one harvest of the Second Clone during this period, coming from Palpatine's inaugural speech. The harvests that caught his eye during this period were more than just that [Chaotic Speech].
[Obtained Special Item - Rapid Healing Potion *3: Rapidly restores 80% Health Points.]
This was also not bad, simple and crude. It was a good thing that could be put to use.
But what made Li Yu feel the most amazed was--
[Obtained Special Item - Revolver Gamble: An ancient ga from those who gamble with their lives. Regardless of wealth, Status, or Strength, all are equal before it.]
[Load one Weapon capable of killing everything, take turns firing at yourself. Life and death... only lie in a single thought.]
Li Yu carefully searched the description. There was indeed no preferential treatnt for himself; it was purely a competition of luck.
In other words, if he used this thing, he himself would also likely die.
"This is too... outrageous." Li Yu muttered. However, this thing could be used in conjunction with other things in the future.
Overall, the rewards obtained were quite decent, and his mood was fairly good. Subsequently, he prepared for the World Deploynt of Clone Three.
After a month of "cooldown," Clone Three could also be deployed again.
[Searching for deploynt world... Analyzing data... [World List] opened, Host please review.]
Li Yu opened the [World List], and the nas of three worlds flickering with special colors appeared in front of him.
[Godzilla World]
[Chronicles of Riddick World]
[Thor's World]
These three worlds made Li Yu's eyes light up. They were all quite valuable worlds; he didn't expect them to be searched out at the sa ti.
The main value in the [Godzilla World] was the genes of those giant beasts. After the [Superman Gene Chain] developnt was completed, it could exactly be mounted with other gene chains to strengthen again.
However, in the Main Universe he was in, there were also quite a few powerful gene chains, so it wasn't strictly necessary to get them from other worlds.
[Chronicles of Riddick World] overlapped sowhat with the [Star Wars World]. Li Yu couldn't think of anything too valuable to him for a mont.
As for [Thor's World], this was another parallel universe. Li Yu imdiately thought of the Reality Stone; this thing was the real good stuff.
Without hesitating for too long, Li Yu made his decision.
[Thor's World] - [Mission Mode] - [Obtain Infinity Stones]
Although it was a parallel universe, it wasn't certain that the Reality Stone was the only Infinity Stone. To be conservative, Li Yu even set the mission to [Obtain Infinity Stones] rather than specifying a certain stone.
[Clone Three deployed successfully. Please check the Task Log after the mission ends.]
......
After handling these matters, Li Yu stretched. This period was extrely quiet; both the No Man's Land and Returning Star were very peaceful.
The slaughter and undercurrents from a while ago seed to have completely subsided.
Returning Star's Public Opinion at the interstellar level had also tended to be peaceful. No matter how noble Digor's Identity was, it couldn't compete with the endless stream of fresh news.
It's just that occasionally, fake news about Digor dying suddenly would quickly pop up, and then rapidly disappear.
However, the internal turbulence hadn't eased, but rather showed a growing montum.
Since this period, the number of incidents where Returning Star killed foreign Marauders had multiplied by 104 tis, reaching an astonishing 625 cases.
This was an extrely unfavorable signal for a top-tier civilization.
Because in the eyes of those Marauders, this civilization already belonged to the category of being plundered, which also made many ordinary Citizens Trembling With Fear.
And in the No Man's Land, the Troll Legion and the Four-Ard Titan Legion had also gathered their warships and stalled at a certain place, losing the trend of crazy sweeping from a while ago.
"That guy Codri is wandering around again?" Li Yu glanced at the Smart Terminal.
Since the Cooperation, Codri had no other hobbies. He just wandered around the Black Pupil Fleet all day, occasionally striking up conversations with passing soldiers, not knowing what he wanted to inquire about.
Li Yu scrolled on the Smart Terminal, found a few ssages, and muttered:
"Has the Star Glory Empire not reacted yet?"
According to Della's encrypted ssage, Raymond had already confird the existence of the Grand Duke of Blood and reported it to the Star Glory Empire.
However, the Star Glory Empire had a diocre reaction to this and still hadn't sent any support.
The Star Glory Empire might look down on the Grand Duke of Blood, but it was impossible for them not to take the "Old Ones" seriously.
That was an organization composed of forr Councilors; every existence was a super weapon of mass destruction. If they looked down on them, they would pay an extrely heavy price.
While Li Yu was pondering, the Smart Terminal rang again. It was a Recording, from Glazed Star.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he hurriedly opened it. After the Holographic Screen popped up, Glazed Star appeared in it, her expression solemn, her tone rushed, and the background slightly shaking:
"...The Cipher Orbs have been cracked. According to the information recorded on them, the appearance of Gensokyo is not without a pattern, but follows a set formula..."
"...We are currently calculating based on the formula obtained from the Cipher Orbs. However, the Four-Ard Titan Legion has already imposed martial law, and all external communications will undergo strict review..."
"...I was only able to pass this Recording to you through special ans. If you have thoughts about Gensokyo, you must pay close Attention to the Star Glory Empire's movents..."
"Also..." Glazed Star said to here, looking up and vigilantly looking around:
"...There seems to be soone scheming against the Empire behind this matter, but the Empire seems to have known for a long ti. Apart from the two legions on the surface, the Empire should also have forces in the dark..."
"...The No Man's Land has already beco the Eye of the Storm. I advise you best not to join..."
The Recording beca completely blurry at this point; it should have suffered from interstellar electromagnetic Disruption, but fortunately, the main content wasn't destroyed.
"The Empire... Gensokyo..." Hearing Glazed Star's notification, Li Yu's expression flickered uncertainly.
The Cipher Orbs being cracked and the Star Glory Empire starting to calculate Gensokyo's coordinates were within expectations.
But the news Glazed Star revealed afterwards made him sowhat shocked.
The Empire knowing there were ghosts behind the Gensokyo incident wasn't surprising to Li Yu; after all, even a fool could see it.
However, knowing and being prepared were entirely different.
A speculation surfaced in Li Yu's mind: "Could it be that the Empire, like Digor, wants to counter-sche against the other party?"
These top-tier factions and civilizations couldn't be underestimated. Plans targeting the enemy couldn't be flawless; in the end, it was a contest of whose thods were more brilliant.
Moreover, Li Yu had another question: Exactly who was drawing him into the fray?
