Glancing at the several people in the distance, Li Yu shook his head and smiled lightly.
"You guys should still co at together. Dealing with just you alone truly gives no pressure at all."
Hearing this, Grae's face sank, and the expressions of the other four watching the battle also didn't look good.
Through the brief exchange just now, Grae had personally experienced Li Yu's strength.
He felt like he was facing an insurmountable mountain; he completely couldn't think of how to defeat Dragon Sovereign relying on his own abilities.
This far exceeded their expectations!
Although his strength wasn't the strongest among the five, it was still above average.
Although the other four hadn't fought yet, seeing Grae's sorry performance, they were all secretly alard.
They knew that if they went up, the result would be exactly the sa; it probably wouldn't change much.
Going up one by one was fundantally just feeding kills; they could only take turns getting beaten!
Realizing this, the other four were tempted by Li Yu's proposal.
Originally, the reason the several of them didn't swarm him all at once was to maintain their dignity and also to give the Other-Dinsional Camp so face.
But looking at it now, if they were going to get beaten anyway, there didn't seem to be any dignity to speak of.
They might as well gang up on him together; maybe they could gain so advantage and avoid taking a loss.
As for words like "we won't bully you" before the battle started, those were said by Grae; it had nothing to do with us.
One person coughed and said in a deep voice, "Since you strongly requested it, then it's hard for us to refuse. We will experience your abilities together!"
Li Yu glanced at him; he found an out for himself quite fast.
As the voice fell, the other four no longer stood by and watched, joining the battle one after another.
Seeing this, Grae thought of the words before the battle and instantly felt a bit ashad.
However, he knew in his heart that relying solely on himself, he would only get beaten. In the end, he didn't open his mouth to refuse the help of his four companions, simply saying nothing, pretending to be mute, and silently cooperating with his companions in battle.
And Li Yu looked around; this ti he could exactly experint with his new abilities!
The corners of his mouth slightly curved up, and blood-red flas suddenly rose on the surface of his body.
Boom!
Blazing red light rushed into the starry universe, reflecting this patch of the starry sky as if it were an evening glow, and an unimaginable aura rose into the air.
The five people were instantly stunned in place, a trace of shock flashing through their eyes.
But before they had ti to react, Li Yu charged forward!
The six people instantly tangled together. The group engaged in a fierce tumbling battle, fighting until the spatial barrier trembled incessantly. This space couldn't withstand the aftermath of their battle, and it quickly beca riddled with holes.
The bitter battle lasted for several hours, with the battlefield spanning the range of several star systems.
There was a massive starry sky teorite here. At this mont, the entire teorite was completely dyed red with fresh blood.
On the potholed surface, Grae was covered in injuries, panting heavily, his body still trembling weakly, as if he had been squeezed dry.
Grae trembling raised his hand, signaling Li Yu not to co forward anymore, and hurriedly said:
"We admit defeat, let's stop fighting!"
Not far away, Li Yu stopped his footsteps, his tone carrying a hint of regret.
"Surrendering already?"
He didn't want to end the battle quickly, still wanting to try out his various newly acquired thods, torturing Grae and the others terribly, almost leaving a psychological shadow on them.
Couldn't beat him, couldn't outrun him; they were completely asking for abuse.
Although this ti was mainly to experint with his own abilities, Grae and the other four couldn't cause him any trouble either.
The situation was always under control; it was a completely all-around crushing. Even fighting casually, he could still hang up and beat the five of them.
Li Yu sighed.
"I thought you guys had such great abilities to dare call arrogant, but in the end, this is it."
Hearing this, Grae and the other four were imdiately left speechless.
If these words were said before the fight, they would still be unhappy, but now they clearly recognized the strength gap between the two sides.
Knowing that Dragon Sovereign alone could deal with all of them, that little bit of temper in their hearts was completely beaten out of them.
If you can't beat soone, you can't beat soone; being unhappy is useless. Even if the other party is impolite, they had to endure it.
Li Yu's words paused, his gaze glancing toward a certain direction in the starry sky, and continued, "Alright, I have no ill intentions either. Now you can release the core authority of the Black Hole Network's server, right?"
No ill intentions?
The few people were so angry they wanted to vomit blood.
Not to ntion being beaten up, they still had to be forced to open up the most sensitive position and let this guy penetrate deep within.
Just thinking about it made them feel an unspeakable humiliation.
Unfortunately, circumstances were stronger than people; they had no other choice and could only sullenly agree.
Returning to the core of the Black Hole Network, Grae, with a swollen face—which was just slapped by Li Yu—brought him to the "black hole."
All network ports converged here.
There weren't any sockets at the end; green data streams seed to materialize, continuously rging into this black hole.
"This server is indeed very special. Where did it co from?" Li Yu inquired curiously.
"The product of a certain ancient civilization. I'm not too clear about its specific origins either," Grae answered sullenly.
Li Yu didn't mind either, extending his hand and saying, "Authority."
Grae took a deep breath and handed an object like a ring to him.
"This is high-level review authority. It can delete, modify, and add data within the server. After you finish reviewing, you can erase the access logs," Grae explained.
"Yo, so considerate?" Li Yu said in surprise.
"Hurry up and review it, then hurry up and leave." Grae ultimately couldn't hold back. After saying that, he looked at Li Yu with so vigilance.
Only when he found that the other party had no intention of making a move did he heave a sigh of relief.
"If you had just done this earlier, wouldn't it have been fine?" Li Yu took the ring and walked straight into the black hole.
Grae's eyes were fierce. Only after a mont did he leave this place.
Stepping into the black hole, Li Yu found himself already standing in a vast space.
And turning his head to look behind him, there was equally only endless darkness. He floated in the chaotic, dark space, with only a glowing sphere emitting faint light.
He took out a special USB drive, and instantly the data within the USB drive surged out, transforming into the appearance of Claptrap on the spot.
"Eh, you ca out directly?" Li Yu was quite surprised.
"Yes Master. This space is very special. It seems to be a Data Space, but for so reason, it can bear lifeforms," Claptrap's model answered.
"Can you integrate into here and open a backdoor for or sothing?" Li Yu asked.
"With the help of that ring in Master's hand, it should be possible." Claptrap transford back into a data stream and integrated into the ring.
A mont later, it popped out and said, "Master, this is not the highest authority. Above it, there is another authority that can see all of its operation logs."
"As expected..." Li Yu wasn't surprised.
Although Grae said he could delete the access logs afterward.
But he knew this group of guys definitely had a way to know what he looked at.
However, this was exactly his purpose, so he didn't care.
"Alright Master, I have already obtained modification authority. That Digital Phantom has no way to deal with anymore," Claptrap answered.
This ti was different from last ti. Last ti, Claptrap could only lie dormant inside.
If it easily perford little tricks inside, it would easily be discovered.
But this ti, it obtained the corresponding authority. With the authority serving as a cover, although it couldn't be said it could do whatever it wanted, the things it could do were drastically increased.
"Very good..." Li Yu nodded, and only then began to review matters related to the Ancient Starpath.
Massive amounts of data and information surfaced before his eyes, layer upon layer, densely packed.
In the current interstellar society, very few scholars or experts conducted research on the Ancient Starpath anymore.
But when the Ancient Starpath first appeared, this wasn't the case.
When the Ancient Starpath began to undergo changes, the Star Glory Empire hadn't yet reached its current scale.
A large number of civilizations, organizations, and individuals were very curious about the Ancient Starpath.
Behind such an abnormal event, it inevitably represented so kind of hidden secret.
And such secrets were usually profitable.
It was just that as ti passed, most people gained nothing, and their interest in the Ancient Starpath also declined day by day, leaving behind only a massive amount of docunted information.
And at least over eighty-five percent of the information and data was preserved in the Black Hole Network.
"...Discovered a large number of ancient civilization ruins: the Pastro Civilization, the Transforr Civilization... all civilizations famous for chanical technology. This might be the key factor that influenced the environntal changes of the Ancient Starpath..."
"...Preliminary suspicion is that chanical technology is inextricably linked to the formation of the Ancient Starpath..."
This was the research data of a certain organization that had already been annihilated; it could probably only be found recorded here in the Black Hole Network.
"...The influence of the Titan Civilization cannot be ruled out. To affect the star sector on such a massive scale, probably only the Titan Civilization could do it."
"..."
Li Yu rapidly flipped through various materials, and his understanding of the Ancient Starpath gradually deepened.
"Eh..."
His movents abruptly paused, his gaze lingering on a research article titled [A Macroscopic View of the Ancient Starpath].
This seed to be published by a Senior Researcher of a certain civilization. There wasn't much valuable information in it; it was more like a filler paper.
But one of the speculations proposed in it made Li Yu quite interested.
"...If viewed from a macroscopic perspective, the Ancient Starpath is essentially no different from a Galactic Forbidden Zone, just that its coverage range is unprecedentedly large..."
"Its unique environntal factors are what influenced the Ancient Starpath..."
What followed was a large section of nonsense, as filler as it could get.
"The Ancient Starpath is a Galactic Forbidden Zone..." Li Yu muttered.
The current interstellar society didn't have this saying, or rather, very few people were interested in the Ancient Starpath.
Anything that could be used as filler had already been used as filler by predecessors.
"Unique environntal factors, isn't that the Environntal Information State... which is exactly what the Tree of Life needs." Li Yu suddenly realized; he had fallen into a ntal blind spot earlier.
Galactic Forbidden Zone was rely an appellation. What the Tree of Life needed was rely a unique Environntal Information State.
And the Environntal Information State of the Ancient Starpath was naturally uniquely unparalleled.
Compared to the coverage range of the Ancient Starpath, even the Fallen Star Cinders paled in comparison to it.
"Tsk, it wasn't a wasted trip." Li Yu was in a good mood and continued flipping through.
......
"His actions are baffling; it's very hard to figure out," Grae and the others were muttering among themselves.
"If he had any thoughts regarding the Black Hole Network, there was no need to hold back against us just now," soone wondered.
"If he killed us, wouldn't he take over the entire Black Hole Network?"
"Maybe he sensed the Boss's existence, making him apprehensive," the Shadow Organization Leader added.
"But the Other-Dinsional Camp couldn't possibly be apprehensive of the Boss..." soone said.
"Can't figure it out..." The few of them were very puzzled.
"Before, I even despised you for yielding to him. Thinking about it now, it was a wise move." Soone looked at the Shadow Organization Leader with a hint of sigh.
His face stiffened. Then I should thank you for your understanding?
"Why are there so many whys? With strong strength, one naturally acts unrestrainedly," Grae's expression was gloomy.
The few people thought about it. Damn, that makes a lot of sense. Isn't that how the Black Hole Network does things too?
"Then..." They still wanted to say sothing, but as if sensing sothing, they suddenly closed their mouths and unanimously looked toward the black hole.
They saw Li Yu had already walked out from within, looking refreshed, and casually tossed the ring back:
"Thanks for your help. I've pretty much finished looking."
"As long as it was helpful." The few people's attitudes were all very good.
"Then see you again if there's a chance. I still have things to do." Li Yu didn't continue talking much, walking straight to leave.
Grae and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Just as they were about to speak, they saw Li Yu suddenly stop his footsteps, turning around and saying, "Right, I almost forgot to lift the peripheral blockade."
Snap!
He snapped his fingers, silently, and the few people were a bit dumbfounded; that was it.
Subsequently, their smart terminals vibrated slightly, clearly reporting news.
Li Yu ca aggressively and left casually, leaving behind a few confused "pig heads."
"What exactly did he co here for?" soone couldn't help but ask.
"We must see what he reviewed," the Shadow Organization Leader suggested.
"He definitely deleted the access logs; only the Boss's authority is higher than ours." Just as Grae's voice fell, a projection popped up from their smart terminals.
Inside was exactly a data list—Li Yu's access logs.
The spirits of the few people jolted slightly, and they hurriedly looked carefully.
"The Ancient Starpath? He was reviewing information related to the Ancient Starpath?" The Shadow Organization Leader was extrely puzzled.
Why did Li Yu suddenly think to investigate the Ancient Starpath?
"There must definitely be secrets in it that we don't know about. Should we follow the trail and investigate..." soone suggested.
Another person mocked himself, "We don't have those qualifications. A single Li Yu already pressed us under his feet and rubbed us against the floor; do we really want to experience that again?"
The crowd looked at each other in dismay and fell silent.
"Should we send this information to the Star Glory Empire? They should also be busy looking for Dragon Sovereign recently," the Shadow Organization Leader suggested.
The few people were sowhat tempted. After all, Dragon Sovereign had bullied them quite badly today; to say they had no resentnt in their hearts was impossible.
"Just treat it as if this matter never happened. Don't get involved in anything. Relocate our base, issue a public announcent explaining the previous offline incident, and then continue to lie dormant."
A blurry projection surfaced in the center, causing the expressions of the few people to turn solemn.
"This... he was so arrogant..." soone said unwillingly.
The projection rebuked, "If you had the strength, you could be arrogant too. I said, just treat it as if this matter never happened. I don't want to get involved in the struggle between them. The top priority right now is to relocate our base!"
"Yes!" The few people hurriedly nodded and went their separate ways to prepare.
Only Grae's eyes flickered, the swelling on his face still not having gone down.

An outrageous thing happened: under the circumstance that no data changed, yesterday's total subscription volu decreased by one-seventh. Damn Valentine's Day!
