Chapter 664: The Storm Sweeping the Interstellar

Under the gaze of the Interstellar, under the attention of countless civilizations and factions, less than a day after this news completely exploded.

The Star Glory Empire issued a public statement, a statement that would completely cement this news in history.

"From this day forward, the Star Glory Empire declares war on the Other-Dimensional Camp!"

"The Star Glory Empire will use means of war to launch a comprehensive attack on the Other-Dimensional Camp. At the same time, we warn any civilization or organization related to the Other-Dimensional Camp to cut ties with them as soon as possible."

This statement was not long, but the weight it carried was not light.

The so-called means of war meant stopping at nothing, with only one purpose: taking the other party's death as the result.

The Star Glory Empire making such a response did not exceed most people's expectations.

Having suffered such a huge loss, even having a Noble Controller die, if they still didn't have a reaction, how could they continue to mingle in the Interstellar Society in the future.

Of course, there were still some people who couldn't stand it and released some anonymous messages, claiming—

Just because the Star Glory Empire failed due to their own insufficient means, forcefully trying to save face was too shameless.

Of course, these messages didn't cause any ripples and were soon drowned in the tide.

"Are they really going to fight? It won't involve us, right?"

"I wonder how long the Other-Dimensional Camp can hold out. When was the last time the Star Glory Empire declared war externally? I have to go look up the Interstellar Wandu..."

"It's hard to say. The Other-Dimensional Camp is so formidable, the Star Glory Empire might not be able to do anything to them."

"Ha, can the person above not tell the difference between partial combat power and an all-out attack?"

"..."

The deterrent power of the Star Glory Empire was still very strong. The concepts deeply rooted in the hearts of many Interstellar Citizens for a long time made them hold a pessimistic attitude toward the outcome of the Other-Dimensional Camp.

The victory of one war couldn't determine anything. The Star Glory Empire had not been invincible for a long time, having suffered defeats in many places, but none of it would shake their Status as the overlord civilization.

At least most people didn't favor the Other-Dimensional Camp.

It was just that this mysterious faction rarely appeared in the Interstellar Society, and basically, not many people were involved with them.

Therefore, the gaze of the Interstellar shifted once again and landed on Returning Star.

On the interstellar level, only Returning Star maintained a close relationship with the Other-Dimensional Camp.

The Star Glory Empire's statement had already made it clear that whoever was involved with the Other-Dimensional Camp was their enemy!

Returning Star's prestige in the Interstellar had been very high recently. To some extent, this was all relying on Li Yu, which meant the Other-Dimensional Camp.

Many people were curious about what choice Returning Star would make.

Would they not hesitate to fight?

Or cut ties rationally?

And at the same time, the High Echelon of Returning Star were also having a massive argument because of this.

"Empress, we must cut ties. I know you have deep affection and loyalty to Your Excellency Dragon Sovereign, but now is not the time to act on impulse." An old geezer was sweating profusely.

"The Star Glory Empire's declaration of war is no joke. If we don't cut ties, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Yes!" Some High Echelon echoed, while another part of the High Echelon remained silent. They were all Klein's people and followed her lead unconditionally.

Even if they inwardly agreed with that old geezer's thoughts, they couldn't say it out loud.

Klein's expression was cold as she looked around. The part of the High Echelon speaking were not her opponents; her true opponents had already been completely weeded out during the previous purge.

General Aisel, Horus, Prince Connor, and the others, these older generation High Echelons, all remained silent for the time being.

Due to Li Yu's influence, their right to speak and their power had been slowly encroached upon by Klein.

"Empress, this is just a superficial severing of ties. We can still maintain contact with Dragon Sovereign in secret. Otherwise, the Star Glory Empire will definitely take action against us for the sake of saving face." Another person whispered:

"We need to give them a way out. Only then will the Civilization Alliance help us."

"Ha, Boss is going to fight the Star Glory Empire all alone now. Tsk tsk... It's quite exciting to think about." An inappropriate voice sounded. Max pulled Edwin and whispered.

Edwin's face was dark. He seemed to want to keep a certain distance from this brain-dead person next to him.

Due to their family's relationship and Li Yu's influence, these two people were basically unimpeded in Returning Star's system.

And Alexei, the Minister of State who basically had no presence, only sighed.

Originally, he and Titus became the Ministers of State of Returning Star together. He thought the tripartite situation would be maintained for a long time, and he could gain great benefits from it.

Who knew Li Yu would shoot up like a rocket, causing Klein's influence to expand continuously.

But with Titus's imprisonment, the system of the Minister of State had once again become a ridiculous joke.

"Max, what are your thoughts?" Klein turned her gaze to Max.

"Me?" He pointed at himself and said casually: "It doesn't matter. If we don't cut ties, we fight. If we can't win, we run. If we can't run, we die."

"Anyway, my life is already like this. Under Boss's care, I can easily and comfortably inherit my dad's position. My brothers don't dare to compete with me either. However, it's also very difficult to go any further."

"So, whatever..."

His attitude was relaxed and casual, truly not taking this matter seriously.

Aisel's mouth twitched slightly. He was completely Speechless towards this son of his.

The others had expressions full of Green with envy and hatred. Damn, why was the gap between people so big.

Their background was not as good as his, and they didn't get to cling to a thigh either.

Some of them even cursed angrily in their hearts: You don't care, you have no regrets in your life anymore.

But we still do, we don't want to die!

Edwin's face grew even darker. He knew this would be the answer.

"Klein, don't be willful." A profound voice came from the corner, making the atmosphere of the scene quiet down.

In the current Returning Star, only one person had the qualification to call her name directly—Vimala!

Klein's expression changed slightly. Vimala hadn't spoken to her like this for a long time. "Don't be willful," this was almost equivalent to a scolding.

"It's just a statement that floats on the surface. What the Star Glory Empire wants is just to strike at the prestige of the Other-Dimensional Camp."

"We can absolutely provide support in secret. If we don't issue a statement to cut ties, it won't do any good to us or the Other-Dimensional Camp."

Klein naturally understood this principle, but just like a young girl in love, she just wouldn't allow any stain on their love.

Cutting ties with her beloved due to external pressure, even if it was just on the surface, made her feel somewhat guilty.

Klein still didn't make a clear response, which made everyone feel somewhat anxious inwardly.

They were afraid that the Empress would really stick to her own opinion and drag Returning Star into the Abyss.

Under the circumstances where they hadn't completely cut ties with the Other-Dimensional Camp, it would be hard for the Civilization Alliance to intervene.

Right at this moment, Klein's Smart Terminal rang. She looked down, her expression condensing slightly. It was Li Yu.

And the others seemed to have some premonition as well, looking at her Smart Terminal with nervousness and anticipation.

Sure enough, accompanied by a Virtual projection, Li Yu's figure slowly emerged. He looked around and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Yo, everyone's here. You wouldn't be forcing an abdication, would you?"

"If that's the case, the statement cutting ties will become a joint declaration against the enemy."

"No, no..." Everyone hurriedly denied. A joint declaration against the enemy?

Is this because you're afraid we won't die fast enough?

"We are also discussing this matter. Our opinion is to make a superficial severance with you, just superficially..." Someone gritted their teeth and whispered:

"You should understand that under the current situation, clinging to a superficial statement is unnecessary."

"I know. That's exactly why I came here. The Star Glory Empire just wants to use this method to strike at our prestige and simultaneously tell the Interstellar Society that their prestige is still there."

Li Yu saw it very clearly, and then said: "Therefore, I plan to have Returning Star temporarily cut ties with me and issue a public statement stripping me of all titles of nobility."

Phew~~

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief in their hearts. Some High Echelon's expressions were even dazed for a moment before sighing: "You are truly a great person. Returning Star will remember your kindness."

"Don't flatter yourselves. I'm just doing this for Klein." Li Yu shook his head, while Klein's body trembled slightly at this moment, her eyes seemingly turning a bit red.

"You guys go ahead and handle this matter. I still have other things to do." Li Yu didn't say anything more.

"Please be extremely careful..." Many Returning Star High Echelons said with sincere feelings. If Li Yu hadn't made a special trip over, their Love-struck Empress probably would have really stuck to her guns.

Horus and several other old men looked at each other without much surprise.

Although Li Yu prioritized interests most of the time, he was indeed very good to his own people.

Continuing to be involved in this vortex would not bring any benefits to Returning Star, nor could they provide much help. It was better to pull out in advance.

Not long after, Returning Star issued a statement—

Announcing the stripping of Li Yu's Duke title, and at the same time permanently deporting him!

The ones who reacted most strongly to this statement first were not the outside world, but the Citizens within Returning Star.

A large number of Return Star Citizens protested against this. For a long time previously, Li Yu had been the source of pride for their civilization and was regarded as a spiritual pillar by many people.

He was even the basis for them to brag On the interstellar network.

The name of Dragon Sovereign resounded throughout Returning Star, known by everyone. Some people even revered him like a god, building statues and faith societies.

Now their own civilization was going to expel the civilization's Hero because of external threats. This aroused the hot blood and unwillingness in their hearts.

They loudly cursed the cowardice of their civilization on the Interstellar Network, clamoring that it was nothing more than a battle, so what about the Star Glory Empire and the like.

Even if Li Yu wasn't a natural-born Returning Star person, it also gave them a high degree of identity.

Most ordinary Citizens were willing to fight for Li Yu, even if it put them in danger of death.

Of course, there were also some people who thought this was a wise choice, and a head-on confrontation with the Star Glory Empire was not rational.

But such voices were few, or rather, directly drowned out.

Horus stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his pupils full of the vicissitudes left by the years.

On the wall behind him, various information on the internal network was constantly refreshing in real-time, linked with Returning Star's network management intelligence.

Prince Connor sat on the sofa, tasting a liquid of strange color, revealing an intoxicated expression.

He looked down at the flow of people below, his tone somewhat emotional: "The most important thing for a civilization is its spine. And Li Yu reshaped Returning Star's spine that had broken due to the Central Star System war."

"He is a very miraculous person. His enemies hate him to the bone, but his own people revere him like a god."

"That's right... he is unwilling to let Returning Star get involved in this vortex." Prince Connor drained the liquid in his cup in one gulp and said: "So... the Citizens of Returning Star are also willing to fight for him, even at the cost of death. Is this... a two-way journey?"

"Of course, he might not care what the ordinary Citizens are thinking."

"Did Digor do this?" Horus suddenly asked.

Connor paused and answered: "No."

"Then his death was not unjust."

Connor smiled and didn't say anything.

………

"These Citizens of Returning Star are really quite interesting."

Li Yu looked at the Returning Star Citizens angrily cursing the government on the network, and couldn't help but rub his chin. He actually didn't expect his prestige to be this high.

Not paying too much attention to this matter, Li Yu turned to consider that the Star Glory Empire's reaction was roughly within his expectations.

Having killed Morgan, they couldn't possibly swallow their pride.

However, he didn't have any regrets either. Otherwise, in that situation, he couldn't just be timid and hesitant because of the other party's subsequent revenge.

Originally, the Other-Dimensional Camp was fabricated by him. There were no branch Bases or other stationed locations at all, just some insignificant intelligence lines.

He wasn't worried about any losses at all.

And the only one somewhat deeply involved with him was Returning Star. It was really unnecessary to drag Returning Star in, so it was better to make a superficial severance.

As for the Other-Dimensional Camp's loss of reputation, did he care about that thing?

"Go investigate. If they really find out some branch Base, that would be fun..." He muttered in a low voice. Suddenly, his eyes lit up slightly:

"Right, speaking of which organization is deeply involved with the Other-Dimensional Camp, is there anyone deeper than the Forerunners, who are two sides of the same coin?"

Then his voice grew softer and softer, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter, causing Hunter, who was walking by, to shiver involuntarily.
