Chapter 525: Titan Sanctuary and Cooperation

"Some unexpected situations occurred, so it failed. Why are you unwilling to attack Li Yu?" The Lord of the Ark followed up closely and asked.

Li Yu certainly couldn't answer this question, and intermittently emitted Mental Fluctuations: "...Disappointment, recently... strange..."

"You feel a bit strange recently?" The Lord of the Ark automatically ignored "disappointment" and guessed.

It seemed that The Overlord's Self-awareness had only initially acquired the ability to communicate.

"Strange..." Li Yu repeated again. Damn it, put some effort into it, self-report the news.

"Could it be because of the Fourteenth Titan Temple?" The Lord of the Ark probed.

"Fourteenth Titan Temple!?"

Li Yu didn't expect that he actually probed out a big fish.

"Lord, The Overlord's Self-awareness is fluctuating highly, suspected to have a strong reaction to this." A Researcher said loudly.

"Open... cannot open..." Li Yu pretended to be mentally challenged, emitting intermittent Mental Fluctuations, letting them guess.

"Can you open it, or can you not open it!?" The Lord of the Ark became somewhat anxious.

Li Yu instantly felt amused, immediately went offline, and The Overlord's mental activity returned to normal again.

"Lord, The Overlord's Self-awareness should have fallen into a deep sleep." The supervisor said cautiously.

The Lord of the Ark's face was as cold as frost, not saying a word.

Inwardly, however, he was pondering whether his tone just now was too aggressive and had frightened The Overlord's consciousness.

……

Titan Sanctuary, although Li Yu had heard of it several times, he was still somewhat unfamiliar with the specific information.

Seizing the opportunity, he immediately found Klein, wanting to access Return Star's highest-secret Database.

Some secret news of Return Star could only be known by the Ruler and a very small portion of people. Li Yu, obviously, was not included in this group.

However, with his current relationship with Klein, Return Star's highest-secret Database was just like Klein, completely open to him.

"Titan Sanctuary, is the supreme sanctuary built by the Titan Civilization..."

Li Yu carefully flipped through it. Return Star's information could be considered relatively complete.

The Titan Civilization was not a cohesive whole either. According to the existing data information, it could be inferred that they were also divided into various factions.

They existed more like an ancient Tribe format, except the battlefield of their hegemony was divided by the Universe.

The Titan Sanctuary was the supreme sanctuary built by the Titan branches. It contained powerful Titan Artifacts, which was an important manifestation to display their own martial power and deter other Titan branches.

"Contains Titan Artifacts..." Li Yu's gaze focused on this sentence.

So far, he had never seen a perfectly intact Titan Artifact.

The [Mirror of Omniscience] was repaired by the Loren Family after being shattered.

But merely from the Titan Magic Weapons, one could get a glimpse of the power of the Titan Artifacts.

That was a power that could change Cosmic Rules.

The Titan Civilization was too long ago. During this period, most of the data had been lost, making it difficult to verify.

The Fourteenth Titan Sanctuary was not divided according to the method of the Titan Civilization, but was rather the fourteenth one to have recorded appearances so far.

"Salvation Ark has been busy with this recently? Then why did they contact Unicron? Could it be that they want an Other-Dimensional Cooperation?"

"Hmm..." Li Yu's eyes lit up slightly. If that was the case, it wasn't impossible either.

After multiple contacts, he now believed that the Salvation Ark would be a good cooperative partner.

"I heard you've been quite busy..." Klein's voice awakened Li Yu. She had a smile on her face, her fingers tapping on the armrest.

"It's alright..." Li Yu replied in confusion. He always felt that Klein's smile was creepy.

"Do you need me to help you save someone?" Klein gently inquired.

Li Yu slightly paused, suddenly feeling somewhat awkward. Obviously his frequent movements had not been hidden from Klein. In reality, he hadn't deliberately hidden them either.

"No need, Return Star hasn't recovered its Vital Energy yet, there's no need to take risks." Li Yu shook his head, having already recovered his calmness.

"Heh, Lord Duke is truly a nostalgic person!" Looking at his calm appearance, Klein got angry out of nowhere.

"Of course, in my heart, friendship is always more important than benefits!" Li Yu said righteously: "I will never abandon a Friend!"

Hearing this, Klein snorted coldly, but suddenly thought again, if Li Yu wasn't a nostalgic person.

Then when Titus recruited him back then, he wouldn't have stayed by her side.

If Li Yu wasn't a nostalgic person, she wouldn't have become the Empress of Return Star either.

Thinking of this, her unwarranted sourness also dissipated mostly, and she said slightly resentfully:

"Lord Duke is indeed a widely-known 'Charismatic Figure', always having reasons to absolve himself."

"Whatever you want, if there's any place you need my help, just don't be embarrassed..."

"Oh, almost forgot, Lord Duke doesn't know what embarrassment is, this is what the Duke is good at..."

Li Yu couldn't help being Speechless. Klein's resentment was obviously not light. If he wanted to sleep-convince her, he was afraid he would have to spend more time.

…………

"The Overlord's consciousness body is growing steadily. Today it was already able to converse with me, and showed a good phenomenon of affinity." The Lord of the Ark held an internal meeting, the communication with The Overlord making him feel joyful.

He looked around, but his eyes contained an inexplicable meaning.

"This is good news..."

"This shows that our direction is not wrong..."

"..."

The numerous High Echelon successively echoed, each one seemingly happy from the bottom of their hearts.

However, because Unicron previously revealed detailed information about The Overlord, it made the Lord of the Ark suspect whether there was an Internal Traitor from the other party among this group of people.

But during this period of time, he instructed Codri but couldn't find out anything.

Making him feel whether he was just being overly suspicious. The other party might have understood all this through other means.

"The Fourteenth Titan Temple is obviously very important, this was originally in our plans, and The Overlord even expressed a desire for it..." The Lord of the Ark said solemnly:

"Perhaps, we already have the ability to open the Titan Sanctuary!"

Then came another burst of echoing, successively praising the Navigator's leadership, as if the Titan Sanctuary was already a Sure Thing in their bag.

Only a few guys sitting beside the Lord of the Ark didn't have any special reactions, and Codri was among them.

But the person sitting beside him, closer to the Lord of the Ark, spoke up: "It's better to handle the matters in front of us first. In less than a month, seventeen of our Peripheral Outposts have been breached."

"This is already a severe provocation, moreover, these seventeen outposts were all outposts collaboratively handling the Titan Sanctuary. The opponent's goal is already very obvious."

His prestige was obviously not low either. Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the meeting room instantly dropped several points.

The numerous High Echelon Looked at Each Other in Dismay. Someone probed and asked: "Is it confirmed who made a move?"

"According to our investigation, this time it was a joint operation by the Abyss Institute, the Black Net, and The Fallen City." Codri supplemented.

"The three of them joined forces?" The numerous High Echelon were somewhat surprised and Apprehensive.

There was no need to mention the Abyss Institute, that was a behemoth on the same level as them.

And the peak period of the Black Net Organization far surpassed them. Relying on the power of the dark side of the Interstellar Network, the Black Net's former sphere of strength exceeded imagination.

Although it had declined quite a bit now, at least its foundation remained.

The Fallen City was a chaotic organization active in the Ancient Starpath, its members basically all tainted with a bit of madness, and its strength could not be underestimated either.

The person opposite Codri supplemented again: "They entered the field very late, and can only use plundering to make up for the backwardness of information data."

"These three factions joining forces seems a bit troublesome..."

"Yeah, the strength of these three is very formidable."

"How about we also find an Ally?" a High Echelon member suggested.

The Lord of the Ark nodded and said, "I plan to ally with the Other-Dimensional Camp."

"Ah?"

The numerous High Echelon were somewhat surprised. On one hand, it was because the Lord of the Ark had already made a decision, so why bother pretending to discuss it with them?

On the other hand, it was because of the choice of the alliance target.

"Why the Other-Dimensional Camp? Our relationship with the Black Blood Institute seems pretty good too..." someone said in a low voice.

"Because the strength of the Other-Dimensional Camp is very strong. Just contacting the Black Blood Institute isn't enough to contend against those three factions." The Lord of the Ark's reason was very simple.

"Exactly because they are too strong, cooperating with them is very likely to be 'inviting a wolf into the house'." Someone worried.

"No need to worry, we are only allying with them against the Black Net, the Abyss Institute, and The Fallen City. As for anything else, it's not within the scope of cooperation." The Lord of the Ark said, "First pull up this big banner to deal with the situation in front of us."

"But, will the other party agree? To fight three against two with us..."

"Temporarily do not reveal the participation of The Fallen City. Just tell them it's the Black Net and the Abyss Institute. These two organizations don't get along with the Other-Dimensional Camp either, they shouldn't refuse."

"This..."

The Lord of the Ark had already decided, and the big shots below also didn't oppose. The rest of the High Echelon could only approve of this decision.

"Then when do we start the operation?" someone inquired.

"Wait until the alliance is confirmed..." The Lord of the Ark's expression changed for a fleeting moment.

This sentence left everyone Speechless. It hasn't even been confirmed yet, so what fart are you talking about.

The Lord of the Ark was also somewhat awkward. He glanced at Codri, who just pretended not to see.

Unicron won't answer the phone, what can I do?

………

"Beep beep."

The alt account's communication was transferred over from some unknown place. Li Yu deliberately waited for some time, adjusted his voice tone, and then chose to answer.

"Your Excellency Unicron?"

From the other side came Codri's familiar inquiring voice, seeming to suppress excitement.

"What is the matter?" Li Yu said in a deep voice.

"We have a matter we want to cooperate with your noble organization on." Codri Got Straight to the Point, without excessive pleasantries.

After the last contact, he had already recognized that this Unicron was not a person who liked pleasantries.

"Continue..."

"We found out that the Black Net Organization is deliberately spreading parts of your noble organization's data, and the Abyss Institute is even adding fuel to the flames among them. They should belong to a direct competitive relationship with your noble organization." Codri only mentioned the two factions, and didn't mention The Fallen City:

"To tell you the truth, these two organizations have now formed a cooperation and launched an attack on us. Therefore, we want to ally with your noble organization and organize a counterattack."

It's because of this matter?

Li Yu was somewhat surprised. He thought it would be the matter of the Titan Sanctuary.

But on second thought, it was also unlikely for the Salvation Ark to cooperate with the Other-Dimensional Camp just on this matter.

Wasn't this a textbook case of inviting a wolf into the house?

He didn't expect the Abyss Institute and the Black Net Organization to have actually cooperated. Both of these organizations had conflicts with Li Yu.

Especially the Black Net Organization. Relying on their remaining control over the Black Hole Network, they continuously spread information about Li Yu and parts of the Other-Dimensional Camp's information, as well as negative news disadvantageous to Klein.

And he was just preparing to think of a way to get a few Dimension World coordinates from the Abyss Institute.

Moreover, the Copy Man who ambushed him at the Meditation Organization Headquarters last time, in all likelihood also came from the Abyss Institute. He still remembered this grudge.

Li Yu was quite happy to strike at these two organizations.

"What you said is correct, these two organizations indeed made us very displeased. We can cooperate with you."

Hearing this, Codri's face slightly rejoiced. He looked up at the Lord of the Ark, but subsequently heard a voice coming from the screen.

"However, I will not deploy my own direct forces."

Codri slightly frowned. Will not deploy his own direct forces, what did this mean?

Just waving flags and shouting for us?

"You guys should have forgotten a person. He should hate these two organizations even more."

Codri pondered briefly, then probed with a dark face: "Li Yu?"

Unicron responded: "That's right, it's him. With such a good knife present, why waste my strength."

"Uh..." Codri was somewhat hesitant. Why did it go round and round and end up on Li Yu again?

After the last contact, he always felt that this person was a bit evil and didn't want to have too much contact with him.

"Let's leave it at this, I will have someone notify him. I still have some matters to deal with."

Unicron hung up the communication, leaving behind a dumbfounded Codri, who looked up and hesitated: "Go find Li Yu?"

The Lord of the Ark didn't say a word, but another person spoke up: "A bit strange, according to what you said before, he and Li Yu shouldn't be in the same faction, why still assign Li Yu."

"Because he doesn't want to waste his own strength?" Codri said uncertainly.

That person didn't respond, but instead rubbed his chin: "The Force Lord is a Super Evolved Being. If Unicron is on the same level as him, then he definitely is also a Super Evolved Being."

"Furthermore, according to what he said, the Other-Dimensional Camp should have more than just two faction leaders. What do you guys say... is this possible?"

Everyone fell into silence. Super Evolved Beings, that was combat power their Salvation Ark didn't even possess, far exceeding the imagination of regular lifeforms.

"The Force Lord can't be faked, the Death Star is always existing." Codri said faintly.

"Yeah, although there are many doubts and contradictions regarding the Other-Dimensional Camp, the Force Lord is enough to suppress all these issues." That person sighed.

"There's no need to consider these issues. Deal with the trouble in front of us first." The Lord of the Ark said.

The crowd nodded, and went off to take their respective actions.

………

Hanging up the communication, a slight smile emerged on Li Yu's face:

"Hehe, you guys want to borrow the Other-Dimensional Camp to deal with those two organizations, and I also want to borrow your power to investigate the Fourteenth Titan Temple clearly..."

"When the time comes, you guys will know what it means by 'Be careful what you wish for'."
