Chapter 678: In Cahoots
A powerful Strength far exceeding the same level naturally requires paying a corresponding price. However, Li Yu probably had a plan in his heart for these matters.
It was just that this Life Equation was a bit difficult to get. Although Number Two was currently in DC, it was not certain he could obtain the Life Equation.
If he couldn't get it this time, he could only use the mission mode the next time he searched for a related world.
Fortunately, there was still some time before he became a Super Lifeform.
After handling all this, Li Yu's Attention also relaxed slightly.
Sinai and the other two pushed over food and snacks. Her gentle voice was quite comfortable, and she began to report some events that had happened in the Interstellar during this period.
During this period, nothing urgent for him had happened, otherwise someone would have interrupted his battle.
The Star Glory Empire was still searching for them in full swing, but still Gained Nothing.
This caused the Interstellar Citizen, who originally thought war was imminent and were still somewhat panicked, to gradually relax again.
According to rumors, in a short period of time, the Star Glory Empire had already replaced three Intelligence Ministers, and even implicated many innocent organizations and people, but unfortunately to no avail.
"I'm afraid the Star Glory Empire is also reaching its limit. This matter should also come to an end," Li Yu pondered.
He didn't treat the Star Glory Empire's declaration of war as a joke.
If the Star Glory Empire really discovered his traces, they would definitely start a war at all costs.
This would also be very troublesome for him, otherwise he wouldn't have been hiding in the Jade Void Palace all this time.
He definitely had to throw out something to give the Star Glory Empire a way out. He had been calculating this matter... for a long time.
.........
In the Star Glory Empire, at Loyd's residence, a miserable-looking Middle-Aged Man was speaking in a low voice.
"Your Highness, by pushing me up at this critical juncture, aren't you pushing me into a fire pit?"
"Who can find the Other-Dimensional Camp now? That organization is like it doesn't exist."
Loyd's expression was calm: "What, you're not willing?"
"Even if this is a fire pit, who knows how many people would be rushing to jump into it."
One of the newly appointed intelligence directors of the Star Glory Empire, although he had a bitter face, also understood in his heart.
This was indeed a very important position. If it weren't for the special circumstances right now, it wouldn't have been his turn at all.
But similarly, he couldn't solve the troubles that those people before him couldn't solve either.
"Don't worry, I will help you resolve the matter of the Other-Dimensional Camp," Loyd looked down at the other party, his tone faint.
The Middle-Aged Man's expression showed joy, and he asked: "You have a clue?"
Loyd was Noncommittal, saying: "What do you think is the most crucial matter right now?"
"Uh..." He paused, and tentatively said: "Find the Other-Dimensional Camp as soon as possible?"
"Stupid!"
Loyd ruthlessly reprimanded: "If the Other-Dimensional Camp could be found, would you be on stage?"
"Please instruct me clearly, Your Highness!" He lowered his head and said.
Loyd tapped on the tabletop: "This matter has gone on for too long, and Rumors Abound On the interstellar stage. If this situation of gaining nothing continues, the empire will lose too much face."
"You mean, end this matter as soon as possible?" He tentatively asked, but then said with a bitter face: "Even if we want to find a Scapegoat, we can't find one. Where is there a Scapegoat of this scale?"
Loyd still wanted to speak, but right at this moment, his Smart Terminal vibrated slightly. It was an unknown communication connection.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he waved his hand, saying: "Go back and wait for my news. This matter should end very soon."
This newly appointed intelligence director's expression flickered, his eyes swept past Loyd's Smart Terminal in a flash, and he left respectfully.
Loyd only answered the communication after arriving in the secret room. Li Yu's holographic projection popped up directly, seemingly sitting at a Table, only showing his upper body.
"It seems, I won." He smiled faintly. This sentence was a continuation of his conversation with Loyd after the Battle of Hisank.
At that time, Loyd had extreme confidence in the Star Glory Empire, believing it was impossible not to find traces of the Other-Dimensional Camp.
Li Yu also didn't say much, just letting time prove everything.
And now, three months had passed, the specific situation was laid out before their eyes, and Loyd had also lost his initial confidence.
"Just what are you guys..." He couldn't help asking, but then paused, knowing it was impossible to get an answer, so he changed the subject: "What are your plans next?"
"End this matter." Li Yu said without concealment: "Although I am very unwilling to admit it, your major actions have indeed tied our hands and feet, making us very uncomfortable."
"Right now, the Star Glory Empire has also fallen into a dilemma. Continuing will cost too much, and stopping operations will make the previous declaration empty talk."
"I need a Scapegoat, a Scapegoat of sufficient scale." Loyd directly said without waiting for Li Yu to finish.
Li Yu chuckled lightly, "I have already prepared one for you—The Forerunners."
Loyd didn't have much surprise. There weren't many organizations in this Universe qualified to serve as a Scapegoat for the Other-Dimensional Camp, and the Forerunners were one of them.
"The head of the Bados Civilization—Marc, is my person. He knows quite a few secrets of the Forerunners."
Loyd was somewhat surprised: "Marc is your person? We haven't even had time to settle scores with him yet, our energy was all tied up by you guys."
"However, it's not enough. Without a sufficiently tragic battle, without the deaths of sufficiently heavyweight figures, it still won't be able to quell the voices within the empire and the Public Opinion in the interstellar."
"How about the Third Forerunner?" Li Yu already had a draft in mind: "According to Marc's information, the Third Forerunner has been staying in the Morton Civilization for a long time, not knowing what he's doing."
"Him..." Loyd subconsciously narrowed his eyes, "It should be enough. If we launch an attack on him, the Forerunners shouldn't just ignore it."
"A sufficiently large war will occur."
Li Yu continued: "Afterwards, I will issue a reconciliation statement to you on behalf of the Other-Dimensional Camp, announcing the end of this matter."
Loyd was silent for a long time before saying: "No problem."
A war sufficient to tremble the Interstellar, the death toll would probably be an astronomical figure.
It was settled just like that in a few words between the two of them.
............
Holivias, Babofel Star System, this was the Star System closest to the Fallen Star Cinders, and therefore developed a highly advanced tourism industry.
And recently, due to the approaching eruption period of the Fallen Star Cinders, the scale of tourists coming here had doubled even more.
On the Main Planet, whether day or night, as long as one looked up, they could see that pale red long mark almost stretching across the entire sky.
That was the Galactic Forbidden Zone reaching a scale of dozens of star systems—Fallen Star Cinders.
No one knew the specific cause of its formation anymore. Many environmentalists analyzed that it might have been formed due to the Collapse of super-massive planets.
But planets couldn't pile up in one place, unless there were some special reasons.
Anyway, its mysterious and unpredictable origin made the Fallen Star Cinders even more eye-catching.
Every year, over tens of billions of Citizens from other civilizations came here for sightseeing and tourism, creating an extremely massive industrial chain.
And during the eruption period that only occurred once every ten years, this number doubled.
On a certain Gourmet Street on the Main Planet, low-altitude shuttles roared past high above, spewing colorful flames.
It was already late at night now, and there weren't many Pedestrian on the street, from all races.
As long as they didn't exceed the conventionally defined "walkable races," meaning height not exceeding five meters and weight not exceeding five thousand kilograms, they could travel here.
"Woohoo--"
Several streams of Flowing Light shuttled past. It was a group of "Anomalous Flow People" riding propulsion hoverboards. They were dressed eccentrically, and the hair on their bodies was dyed in various colors.
Their overall Aesthetics went in the opposite direction of all races.
This was a trend that had emerged in the Interstellar in recent years, said to symbolize thought liberation and the like, but was disgusted by many people.
However, their skills were superb, and they didn't knock into anyone.
They rushed into an open-air food stall, sat at an empty seat, and began ordering food on a Holographic Screen.
A guy among them with pitch-black eye sockets looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on a few people not far away. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he whistled.
...
"The food here tastes pretty good..." The corner of Li Yu's mouth chewed on some unknown meat.
"It's Five-Color Star Snail meat, the meat is very chewy. In some civilizations, it's considered an endangered protected species." Sinai tasted it directly and nodded.
"The Holy Vias Civilization has received the information, someone will be over soon." Hunter looked up and turned off the Smart Terminal.
"Hmm, we'll leave in a bit." Li Yu nodded. There were still three to five days until the eruption period of the Fallen Star Cinders. This Galactic Forbidden Zone was quite important to Li Yu and needed careful calculation.
All three of them used Mimicry Mask. Li Yu and Sinai both had a Common Face, only Hunter, narcissistic to the extreme, made himself a huge handsome guy, with a very high head-turning rate.
Right at this moment, an untimely whistle suddenly came from nearby.
It was already late at night now, and there weren't many people here. Li Yu turned his head to look at the group of people at the neighboring table, his eyes unpredictably deep.
Although Sinai's face had been mimicked, they hadn't concealed the two of them, and were still eye-catching.
Hunter's face revealed a playful expression. The next development of the situation should be very interesting.
And immediately following, a sentence in the Interstellar lingua franca came over—
"Handsome, interested in having a drink together?"
A touch of astonishment flashed past Li Yu's eyes, only to see that guy stand up straight, completely ignoring Li Yu and Sinai, and walking towards Hunter.
He had pitch-black eye sockets, didn't look very old, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, carrying a wine bottle, but his voice was a bit effeminate: "I'm talking to you, handsome..."
Hunter's expression abruptly froze, the corner of Li Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and Sinai couldn't help laughing.
"Kiel, come back!" Someone in that group scolded. It was a girl, looking quite pretty, her face dark, while also saying somewhat apologetically:
"Sorry, my Friend has some mental problems."
"It's fine..." Li Yu grinned, looking at Hunter's murderous gaze.
Kiel was dragged back, but his eyes were still reluctant to part with Hunter. Hunter subconsciously tightened his buttocks, wanting to whip a Chains over.
"How about you guys come over for a drink? We are all interstellar humans, it's quite rare here," that girl invited.
"No need..." Li Yu waved his hand and smiled.
"Interstellar travel, meeting by chance is fate, let's drink a little," someone shouted with a smile.
Hunter's head was full of black lines, just about to speak, when a buzzing sound suddenly came from outside.
A glowing blue Light Rings was projected on the ground, a streamlined high-end Spaceship descended, followed by a large number of Black Flying Vehicle behind it.
Exclamations came from nearby—"Damn, it's Star Ring - Roaming Dragon!"
Someone directly opened the Interstellar Network, searched and said: "It's said that this thing is a high-end custom-built Spaceship of the Tyron Chamber of Commerce. It seems there's only one in the entire Babofel Star System, in the hands of the Star System Governor!"
Afterwards, a large number of soldiers came down from the Flying Vehicle, began to set up a Security Perimeter around, turned on Signal interference measures, and directly blockaded this area, attracting the attention of many tourists around.
"It really is the Star System Governor!" That group of people nearby exclaimed in shock.
The leader was a Holivian sweating profusely. He trotted all the way, came directly in front of Li Yu's group of three, and said in a low, trembling voice:
"Your Excellency, why didn't you notify us in advance before coming, so I could make preparations."
"Just wanted to experience the Local Customs and Traditions here, it's fine," Li Yu chuckled lightly.
"A residence has already been prepared, please follow me. Your Excellency Maros will arrive very soon," he suppressed the curiosity and fear in his heart.
He didn't know the specific Identity of the person before him, only knowing it was an unimaginably important figure.
Otherwise, His Excellency the Chairman wouldn't have personally contacted him, asking him to host them well, and not to leak information.
"Hmm." The three stood up, preparing to leave here. Li Yu even said to the group of Anomalous Flow People nearby who were Silent as a Winter Cicada: "Everyone eat and drink well, we'll be leaving first."
That group of people fundamentally didn't dare to speak, and could only continuously nod.
While Hunter walked halfway with a dark face, suddenly turned back, came to the youth with black eye sockets who was already sweating profusely, and whispered:
"Change your orientation for me, otherwise... I will make your life Life Worse Than Death."
"O... okay..." The youth was almost crying, nodding incessantly, trembling all over.
What's wrong with this orientation, isn't it very normal? There are plenty in the Interstellar, woohoo...
Li Yu shook his head Speechless, feeling Dumbfounded.
After everyone left, this area was completely unlocked, and low, noisy sounds continuously arose.
That group of people near Li Yu's seat earlier finally breathed a sigh of relief, and focused their gazes uniformly on the youth with black eye sockets, seemingly all having some lingering fear.
The leading girl even gritted her teeth and said:
"If you don't change this time, we will bend you straight!!"
The others also nodded in deep agreement.
