Chapter 314: Brotherhood Alliance

"A trap!"

Ke Emperor's body, composed of dark matter, instantly burst forth with a furious energy wave.

The light throughout the hall dimmed.

"This is definitely a trap!"

He roared, his voice echoing in the vast hall, his brutal emotions undisguised.

"That Qin Hao must be hiding in some unseen corner, using his damned methods to spy on our every move!"

"He's luring us!"

"Luring us to expose ourselves! Then he'll wipe us out as easily as crushing a bug!"

Ke Emperor's reaction was filled with a deep-seated fear of Qin Hao.

That war, that godlike demonic figure, has become an inescapable nightmare in his mind.

He could not believe that the demon would so easily expose his own back to the enemy.

Bi Jiale said nothing.

No emotion showed on his face.

He simply repeatedly studied that intelligence over and over.

"Alone."

"A spacecraft never seen before."

"Leaving the Yanhuang capital star system, his whereabouts unknown."

Each piece of information conveyed a strange feeling.

Bi Jiale's thoughts raced.

The source of the intelligence was a 'friend' they had infiltrated at great cost into the upper echelons of Yanhuang civilization.

This 'friend' held a high position, and the accuracy of the information was beyond doubt.

Precisely because of that, it seemed all the more unreasonable.

If it were a plot, if it were meant to draw the snake out of its hole, Yanhuang civilization could easily have fabricated the illusion that Qin Hao was still in the capital star system, then let him slip away secretly while laying a net of heaven and earth.

But they did not.

Qin Hao's departure was real.

Moreover, it was extremely covert.

If it weren't for this 'friend' risking exposure to relay the message, the entire Milky Way Galaxy might never have known of this.

This approach—

It doesn't look like a conspiracy.

It seems more like carrying out some kind of confidential special mission.

Bi Jiale closed the intelligence interface.

His gaze involuntarily fell upon the holographic star map before him.

That vast river of stars was brilliant yet icy.

What mission?

What kind of mission would require Qin Hao, the strongest of Yanhuang civilization, to undertake it alone?

A thought sprang up from the depths of his consciousness without warning.

That thought was so absurd that even he found it unbelievable.

He recalled the forbidden file, code-named 'Final Barrier,' that they had simultaneously discovered in the highest databases of the Ke Luo Empire and the Bi Te En Empire.

The Milky Way Galaxy is a prison.

At the center of the prison, near the supermassive black hole called the Singularity Sea, there are suspected relics of a Fifth-level Civilization.

That sole, possibly existing 'gate'.

A speculation that made his own heart pound slowly formed in his mind.

Qin Hao…

Is he…

Has he gone to explore the galactic center?

"How is that possible?"

Ke Emperor heard Bi Jiale's whisper and let out a scoff.

"Explore the Singularity Sea? Bi Jiale, I think you've had your courage scared out by that Qin Hao!"

"What place is that? A graveyard! It's an absolute forbidden zone that our two great empires have spent hundreds of thousands of years filling with fleets that cannot even approach!"

Ke Emperor's dark matter body roiled, full of contempt.

"What does Qin Hao have? Just that rickety little ship of his?"

"If we can't do it, Yanhuang civilization can't either!"

"I'm more inclined to think," Ke Emperor's tone turned sinister, "that he's gone to some secret uninhabited star region to test their new weapon! A weapon even more terrifying than before!"

This explanation fits Ke Emperor's simple, direct military mindset better.

In his view, all unknowns can ultimately be reduced to greater strength.

However, Bi Jiale paid no heed to Ke Emperor's mockery.

Testing new weapons?

Does Qin Hao need to go himself?

He could not rule out Ke Emperor's guess, but his intuition told him things were far from simple.

Because Qin Hao, and Yanhuang civilization itself, are full of too many illogical miracles.

They spent several thousand years to complete a path that other civilizations would take tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years to finish.

They can create miracles.

So, creating another "illogical" miracle seems...... not entirely impossible.

No matter what he does!

Ke Huang interrupted Bi Jialie's reverie; for the first time, his voice carried an uncontainable excitement.

Whether he's going to his death or testing weapons!

One thing is certain!

He's gone! The Yanhuang Civilization's ballast stone, those gods and demons that made us afraid to breathe, he's not here!

Ke Huang's words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly igniting the fire in Bi Jialie's heart.

Yes.

The process doesn't matter.

The result is most important.

The result is, Qin Hao has left.

This, for their Brothers Alliance, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The Yanhuang Civilization without Qin Hao is like a fierce tiger that has had its claws and teeth pulled out.

Although it remains strong, its internal decision-making efficiency and external deterrence will inevitably decline significantly!

This is our opportunity! Bi Jialie's voice also became burning hot.

The two former emperors, at this moment, finally reached a crucial consensus.

Speed up the Brothers Alliance's secret fleet construction plan!

Bi Jialie immediately issued the order: "The Yanhuang Civilization is now in the post-victory digestion phase; they think we have completely submitted, which is exactly our 'regulatory laxity period'!"

Mobilize all our hidden industrial planets, all our secret reserve resources! We will forge a fleet capable of revenge in the shortest possible time!

Correct!

Ke Huang responded fervently: "I will make those damned Yanhuang people pay blood for blood!"

Not only that.

Bi Jialie's thoughts grew deeper: "Building the fleet takes time. During this period, we cannot idle."

His finger swept across the star map, lighting up the coordinates of dozens of civilizations that had just joined the Interstellar Civilization Commonwealth.

Order our pawns embedded within these civilizations to begin acting.

Incite them! Tell them how tyrannical the Yanhuang Civilization's rule is! The so-called Commonwealth is nothing but slavery under a different name!

I will set the Yanhuang Civilization's backyard ablaze!

A dark and meticulous plan quickly took shape in the secret talks of the two emperors.

Secretly expand military forces outward, accumulating strength.

Internally create chaos, shaking the foundations.

The surface of the entire Milky Way Galaxy remains peaceful.

All civilizations are celebrating the end of the war, looking forward to a new order led by the Yanhuang Civilization.

No one knows, in the dark depths unseen by them.

A great net aimed at the new gods, because of Qin Hao's unexpected departure, has already begun to tighten rapidly.

Bi Jialie stood before that huge simulated star map.

His gaze passed through countless brilliant stars, finally landing on the region representing the Milky Way Galaxy's center, an area of absolute darkness.

The plan has been activated.

Everything is developing in a direction favorable to them.

But for some unknown reason, an inexplicable sense of foreboding continually lingers in his heart, impossible to dispel.
