The war ga had been released for so ti. Among the several hundred billion players, by now a few hundred players had, by virtue of outstanding warship piloting skill, taken the lead in upgrading their ships to County-Class. These few hundred players were without doubt the elite of the entire civilization. Although the ga had not yet opened the group battle mode so far, aning one player could control only a single ship, and being skilled at controlling one ship did not necessarily an being skilled at controlling many, Xiao Yu still took note of these few hundred people and quietly observed them, watching their progress.
Sowhat beyond Xiao Yu’s expectations, the majority of these early elites were juvenile intelligent beings under one thousand years old. The middle stratum, in which Xiao Yu had placed high hopes, perford diocrely.
“Perhaps after the group battle mode is opened, the middle stratum will begin to show its power.” Xiao Yu thought to himself.
After receiving the Sweepers Civilization’s ssage, Xiao Yu had already very swiftly entered an era of grand construction. Across this starry sky and within Xiao Yu’s small universe, ships bustled everywhere, and countless large engineering projects were being built simultaneously.
At this mont, Xu Junpo had already left his ho.
“Overall, in the comparison with the Sweepers Civilization, the Divine Ark Civilization is still at a disadvantage. Even if Xiao Yu successfully develops the remote warfare system, the situation of the Divine Ark Civilization will still not be optimistic. I love this world, and I also love that world. I do not want either world to be destroyed. Then, just in case, I should make arrangents in advance and help the Divine Ark Civilization a little.”
“I do not have the ability to complete this plan by myself. I must obtain the help of Luka Two. Luka Two, I know your deepest thoughts. You will certainly help , I know.”
“Xiao Yu, I will not tell you any details of my plan, nor will I complete this plan in its entirety but only halfway. If I told you the details or fully completed this plan, it would run counter to my neutral stance. If, in the future war with the Sweepers Civilization, you truly fail, and if you are truly intelligent and wise enough, perhaps you can rely on this plan to escape with your life.”
“This is the last thing I can do for the Divine Ark Civilization. How the future unfolds depends on the unseen’s blessing of fortune. I have already done my best.” Xu Junpo sighed silently and sent a ssage to Luka Two.
“Lord Number Two, I would like to discuss sothing with you. I believe this matter is very important both to you and to . Rest assured, this ssage has been disguised and encrypted by . Xiao Yu will not detect it.” Xu Junpo said.
“I hardly rember why I developed this technology that can conceal things from Xiao Yu. I have never used it, and I did not expect it to be useful now.” Xu Junpo thought silently.
Monts later, Xu Junpo received Luka Two’s reply. “Co to my ho.”
Luka Two neither questioned nor inquired, but simply replied with one sentence. “Co to my ho.” Seeing this sentence, Xu Junpo smiled slightly. He knew his guess was correct.
After a short ti, Xu Junpo arrived at Luka Two’s ho. Looking at this elder who could not conceal his senescence even with the most advanced biotechnology, Xu Junpo felt an indescribable sensation in his heart.
“If one loses the goal of striving, I do not know whether a long life is a good thing or a bad thing for a person.” Xu Junpo thought silently.
Luka Two was truly too old. Before the na Divine Ark Civilization even appeared, he had already been at Xiao Yu’s side, making indelible contributions to the developnt of the Divine Ark Civilization. Xiao Yu, in turn, had granted Luka Two sufficient treatnt and status. Even though Luka Two’s body and intellect were irreversibly aging, he was still the highest-ranking among the intelligent beings of the Divine Ark Civilization. Xu Junpo knew that even after all his contributions, his status in Xiao Yu’s heart still did not surpass Luka Two’s.
“Rest assured. Before coming, I already completed my disguise and concealnt, so no one will detect our conversation, not even our master, Xiao Yu.” Xu Junpo began bluntly, then paused to observe Luka Two’s reaction.
Luka Two showed no expression. He was like an elderly man in his twilight years, with nothing able to stir his heart.
“We have already touched the Level 7 barrier. In the foreseeable future we have no hope of breaking through to a Level 7 Civilization. Life sciences are within this scope as well, which is to say that in the coming period, life sciences are also unlikely to make major breakthroughs. You are relying entirely on advanced life sciences to live until now, yet your body and mind are still constantly aging. If life sciences do not make a major advance, you are very likely to die, correct?” Xu Junpo spoke slowly.
Luka Two nodded lightly.
“Then before you die, are you interested in truly taking control of your own fate once, rather than always being controlled by others?” Xu Junpo asked. “I know you love this world, and I also love this world. I know you are prepared to report these matters to Xiao Yu at any ti, but please do not do that. I bear no malice toward the Divine Ark Civilization.”
“Perhaps you know my true origin, concerning the soul stone and the Sweepers Civilization. Yes, I indeed co from the Sweepers Civilization, and today my mories have indeed awakened. But I still do not intend to strike at the Divine Ark Civilization. I choose neutrality. Moreover, because I do not wish to see either world destroyed, I intend to work with you to help the Divine Ark Civilization a bit. At the sa ti, because of my neutral stance, I do not intend to execute this plan completely.”
Xu Junpo spoke quietly, and Luka Two listened quietly. After hearing this, Luka Two finally responded. “Tell your plan.”
Xu Junpo silently let out a breath. He continued, “According to my inference, if the Divine Ark Civilization ultimately fails, it can only be at the hands of the Neutron War Star. At that ti, if the Divine Ark Civilization wishes to escape, it can only start from the Neutron War Star. Therefore my plan targets the Neutron War Star. The plan is very large. I cannot complete it alone, so I have co to you, because I know you have always longed to truly take control of your own fate once, rather than arranging your fate under Xiao Yu’s command. Although we have the best material conditions and Xiao Yu has t almost all our needs, Xiao Yu cannot satisfy our hearts.”
“Tell the specific content of your plan.” Luka Two still showed little emotion.
“My plan is as follows…” Xu Junpo spoke quietly for about half an hour before stopping. “As I said, I will be responsible for the technology, and you will be responsible for the strategy. I need you to formulate a stratagem, and I will carry out the related technological developnt according to your stratagem.”
Luka Two sighed softly.
“I believe the truth of what you have said. You have indeed seen through completely. In the past I always strove for a single goal. I always rembered what the Guardian Civilization did to our Luka Civilization. I always thought of vengeance and of rescuing our kin. Now our Divine Ark Civilization has defeated the Guardian Civilization, and we did not find the rest of our Luka people. They should already have been dealt with by the Guardian Civilization. I have no goal and no ties. In such a state of living, a long life is actually a kind of tornt for . Your words have successfully piqued my interest. To truly take control of my own fate once, I am very interested, very interested.”
“In the past, it was always Xiao Yu assigning us tasks and we completing them. Now, we will unite and assign Xiao Yu a task. If in the war with the Sweepers Civilization the Divine Ark Civilization really loses, and if Xiao Yu completes the task we give him, then he can continue living. If Xiao Yu does not complete our task, then he has no need to continue remaining in the universe.”
“I must say, this feeling of controlling my own fate and controlling another’s fate is truly wonderful. Even if it is my last frenzy before death.” Luka Two murmured. “Relying on your related technological research capabilities and information, I have already formulated a related plan. During this period, you need to develop the following technologies. A small-scale weapon similar to a Spatial Starburst, and an instrunt that uses stellar energy to enhance the Specter Race’s attack power. At the sa ti, during this period I will persuade Xiao Yu to complete the following construction tasks.”
“These are the things we need to accomplish. After completing them, I will die. These things will be Xiao Yu’s and the Divine Ark Civilization’s final trump cards, incomplete trump cards. If it truly becos necessary to use them, I hope Xiao Yu can, relying on his wisdom, complete these trump cards and thus continue the Divine Ark Civilization.”
“Alright. From our standpoint, we have already made the greatest possible contribution to the Divine Ark Civilization. That is all for now. If there is a need, I will co to contact you again. But please do not take the initiative to contact . If you do, our exchange may be exposed and detected by Xiao Yu.”
