Chapter 737: Embracing the Interstellar Space

"They will come back on their own?" Loyd suspected he had misheard.

Those A-Tier Lifeforms weren't fools. Although there was no evidence to suggest that the A-Tier Alliance was the culprit behind extracting the Energy within their bodies.

But they weren't people who maintained public order and security either; they didn't need evidence. They could just directly withdraw from the alliance.

It was also impossible for Loyd to actually block their withdrawal applications. One or two would be fine, but with such a large-scale collective withdrawal, no one could block it.

In just a short month, the number of members had sharply decreased by more than half, and this exaggerated trend showed signs of continuing to develop.

If it wasn't managed soon, it wouldn't be long before this A-Tier Alliance existed in name only.

"Yes, just leave this matter alone for now. Let the situation ferment a bit before deciding," Li Yu nodded and said.

Hearing him say this, Loyd didn't relax at all. Instead, he said: "The matter isn't that simple. Recently, an organization named the Superpower League has appeared in the Interstellar Space, similar in nature to ours."

"They are currently absorbing the A-Tier Lifeforms that withdrew from the A-Tier Alliance."

Various events emerged one after another, and the Superpower League was an example.

"Superpower League?" Li Yu's expression flickered slightly.

"That's right. This group of A-Tier Lifeforms has tasted the benefits of an organized alliance. Since they can't stay in the A-Tier Alliance anymore, other organizations naturally emerged as the times require," Loyd nodded and said.

"Did you just watch idly without suppressing them or anything?" Li Yu asked curiously.

"It's different. There's the shadow of the Civilization Alliance behind the Superpower League, with several large civilizations backing them," Loyd explained:

"Back then, suppressing the A-Tier Alliance was the result of Major Civilizations exerting force simultaneously. If it's only the Star Glory Empire, there's too much room for manipulation."

"Why are they joining the fun?" Li Yu asked strangely.

"Uh..." Loyd's eyes flickered, saying: "They seem to have found out that we are now secretly controlling the A-Tier Alliance, so they also want to come in and get a piece of the pie."

"But they were rejected by me, which is why they created this Superpower League."

"You rejected them?" Li Yu frowned slightly: "Why reject them? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to manage it together?"

Loyd stared at Li Yu, not knowing if this guy was truly stupid or just playing dumb.

Manage it together?

Then the Star Glory Empire's right to speak would inevitably be diluted. How could he agree to that?

"I promised you not to touch your position as President, but they might not agree. I'm also considering things for your sake," Loyd spouted nonsense.

"That sounds somewhat reasonable..." Li Yu couldn't be bothered to expose Loyd.

His thoughts were different from Loyd's. Loyd was thinking about the Star Glory Empire's right to speak and interests.

Li Yu's thought was that by letting other large civilizations participate, the A-Tier Alliance would instead grow even faster.

However, Loyd was also right. That group of people coming in might indeed stir up trouble and needlessly add complications.

But with the existence of the [Gift of Justice], the A-Tier Alliance would inevitably stand firm. That whatever Superpower League wouldn't amount to much.

The situation was actually quite ironic. Before, when there was no Advanced Lifeform alliance, the Major Civilizations forcefully suppressed it.

Now, discovering that the Star Glory Empire had taken control of such a force, the other civilizations immediately couldn't hold back anymore and actively started building one.

"Next, have people spread the word on the Interstellar stage, just saying that joining the A-Tier Alliance is beneficial to Lifeform Evolution." Li Yu thought for a moment. Although the Superpower League wasn't something to fear, they still had to be a bit proactive.

"Beneficial to Lifeform Evolution?" Loyd's expression turned bizarre. Li Yu could even spout this kind of bullshit?

"Will anyone believe it?"

"They all believe it was the A-Tier Alliance extracting their power, so why wouldn't they believe it's beneficial to Lifeform Evolution?" Li Yu retorted.

Thinking about it carefully, the level of bullshit in these two statements had the same marvelous effect.

"That's because there are precedents..." Loyd suddenly paused mid-sentence, asking somewhat hesitantly: "Beneficial to Lifeform Evolution, is it real?"

"Since you're suspicious, why not go and give it a try." Li Yu was Noncommittal, then added:

"If there's nothing else, go and prepare."

Loyd subconsciously wanted to nod, but suddenly felt the sense of déjà vu of working for Li Yu grow even stronger. Feeling displeased inwardly, he simply gave a cold snort.

"Is there anything else?" Li Yu was somewhat puzzled.

"The Empire invites you to participate in the Interstellar United Conference. This is mainly a show for the outside world. The location is within the Empire's territory, and quite a few big shots will descend. You don't need to fear an ambush," Loyd said sullenly.

"Got it."

Li Yu glanced at him and simply cut off the communication.

As the communication ended, Li Yu raised his head. A dazzling Golden Radiance sprinkled over him, as if draping a layer of golden gauze over him.

The massive [Tree of Life] stood tall in the Starry Sky. Its branches were no longer messy and had begun to grow according to a certain specific pattern.

Its roots reached deep into the Void, Absorb various energies as its nutrients, no longer picky about food.

The [Tree of Life] had already entered its growth phase and could withstand more forceful extraction.

Precisely because of this, the incomparably chaotic Ancient Starpath had basically returned to Normal. It was foreseeable that a "Gold Rush" would inevitably be set off next.

Let alone those Civilization Ruins that appeared here due to the influence of the "Time Slices," just the Spaceships that had crashed in the Ancient Starpath over the years were an enormous wealth.

"I'm afraid the Xenomite Civilization will be discovered very soon, but under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any problems," Li Yu pondered.

There were all sorts of bizarre Interstellar Races. Xenomorphs and the Zerg were definitely not the most terrifying. As long as they didn't outwardly display overly strong aggression, they basically wouldn't be targeted.

Putting away the [Tree of Life], a Dimensional Rift opened beside him. Without the influence of the special environment of the Ancient Starpath, the Jade Void Palace could naturally open its doors too.

Placing the Fallen Titan into a cabin under strict guard, a large number of Monitoring Instruments scanned all data 24/7.

Then, a massive number of Transformers surged out from the Dimensional Rift, hovering around Li Yu.

As a sharp glint flashed in Li Yu's eyes, the surrounding Transformers abruptly turned into streams of metal particles, surging towards the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor].

The Corporeal Form of the Transformers was constructed from a material called Transformation Alloy, not purely metallic material.

[Quintessa's Scepter of Life] was still continuously manufacturing Transformation Alloy within the Jade Void Palace.

Relying on mechanical equipment forged from Transformation Alloy, Enlightening them with the Spark yielded twice the result with half the effort, only serving as an ignition; there was no need for a full-body restructuring.

So the scale of the Transformers under Li Yu's command had already reached a certain level now.

Soon, these streams of metal particles formed a massive Mechanical Body External Armor outside the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor]. Mechanical structural components continuously spawned. Compared to the heavy industrial style of the Eternal Machine God,

Transformation Alloy possessed a more special mechanical aesthetic. The silver-white Mechanical cape, the distinctly layered triple-folded metal cloud Armor, and the gaunt mechanical head were all things the Eternal Machine God lacked.

He didn't fuse too many Transformers, only about a hundred thousand.

The main purpose was to determine whether the Mechanical Body fused using the [Eternal Core] calculated its combat power independently or superimposed it onto him.

Then he carefully sensed it and found that it was neither independent nor superimposed.

Because essentially it was fused by the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor], and the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor] was his External Armor.

In other words, the newly fused Eternal Machine God actually belonged to the category of "External Armor."

But due to the special nature of the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor], this portion of combat power could actually also be superimposed onto him.

"However, for these ordinary Transformers to form scalable combat power, I'd need at least ten million as a base. But, after all, there's still the Mechanical Octopus and the others..."

"It should be like the Eternal Machine God, using Advanced Lifeforms as the core to assist other Mechanical Lifeforms."

Li Yu thought about it carefully and found the future promising, immediately grinning widely.

In a great mood, he opened the System Space again.

Currently, the other two Avatars were still dormant; only Number Three was still in the DC World.

[Acquired Special Item -- Lex Luthor's Clone Pod: A Clone Body of Superman once walked out from this.

Providing sufficient Gene Samples and Energy allows the cloning of Lifeforms.]

[Acquired Special Item -- Chemical Agent Stained by the Joker: Possesses the ability to corrupt the Spiritual Body and give birth to a second personality. Must be immersed within it to take effect.]

There weren't many valuable things, at least for him right now.

Among the rewards were also things like [Bane's Nerve Gas], which could isolate neural pain sensations for a short time.

This thing was basically useless to him now. It wasn't as if it could make him ignore injuries in a short time.

He could only put it away to gather dust or toss it to others to use.

However, it wasn't as if he Gained Nothing. After handling these trivial matters, he immediately returned to the Jade Void Palace.

He gathered everyone together, mainly The Hunter, Peyton, Sinai, and the others.

The crowd still didn't know why Li Yu had gathered them. The Hunter, however, was acting neurotic, looking very nervous.

Because he knew that Li Yu had been busy dealing with the Star Glory Empire recently and wouldn't want to hear any bad news.

"The Star Glory Empire invited me to attend some Interstellar United Conference and asked me to attend in person. I will be heading to the Star Glory Empire shortly. Which of you is interested in coming with me?"

Li Yu asked.

"Good thing it's not giving final instructions..." The Hunter muttered a sentence, then asked: "Inviting you? Could it be a trap?"

Li Yu's face darkened, saying: "It shouldn't be. I've reached an agreement with them; I am now a Special Advisor to the Star Glory Empire."

"Special Advisor? The Star Glory Empire has this position?" The Hunter racked his brains but couldn't think of it.

Peyton was similarly a bit curious.

"Who knows. They said there was a vacancy, so I went to fill it," Li Yu shook his head.

"It wouldn't happen to be specially established for you, right." The Hunter was curious inwardly: "What exactly happened? Why would the Star Glory Empire yield."

"Beat them until they yielded..." Li Yu shrugged, not elaborating.

Dark Star, whose presence wasn't strong, had his arm around a gentle-looking woman. Hearing this, his expression changed several times, ultimately letting out a sigh.

Some distant scenes surfaced in his mind; those were the times he tangled with Li Yu.

And what he couldn't accept the most was that he now gradually had a sense of "glory." That period of hunting down Li Yu had already become his most boast-worthy time.

"Then can we go out?" Keller Impatiently asked, her eyes full of expectation.

Tu Ying had a similar expression.

After all, they had stayed in the Jade Void Palace for a very long time. Although there was no lack of various entertainment facilities, Advanced Lifeforms had long shaken off vulgar interests.

After tasting the flavor of Life Evolution, no one cared about other forms of entertainment.

And the people around them were either tin cans or tight-lipped researchers.

The Interstellar space was vast, and everyone yearned for it.

Including The Hunter. Damn it, during this time he could only use his hand to vent his desires; it had nearly suffocated him to death.

"Sure, but you guys better be careful." Li Yu pondered for a moment and nodded.

As long as the Star Glory Empire didn't scour the Interstellar space searching for him, it would be very difficult to uncover the origins of these two little guys.

"That's great..." Both of them looked very excited.

"I'll go back with you. It's been a long time since I went back too," Peyton suddenly spoke up, drawing everyone's gazes.

"Hey, why are you interested in going out now?" The Hunter asked curiously: "It couldn't be related to the Mozambique Family, could it? Exactly why did you leave the Mozambique Family back then? And even ended up mingling with Dark Star."

The first time everyone met Peyton was in Dark Star's secret Base.

"A desire to explore the unknown..." Peyton's tone was indifferent.

Dark Star, however, added: "Actually, the first time I met him, he was seeking death, just that it was after killing some of the people hunting him."

"Hunting him?"

"Killed the people hunting him and then sought death?" This sentence was full of contradictions. Since he wanted to die, why not just let the people hunting him kill him.

But applying it to Peyton, everyone inexplicably felt that it was somewhat reasonable.

Thinking of this, various Melodramatic scenarios of wealthy noble families couldn't help but surface in their minds.

Peyton's expression remained unchanged, showing no emotional shifts.

"Haha, that's all in the past..." Li Yu smiled: "Big brother will take you back to slaughter indiscriminately. Whoever we find displeasing, we'll deal with them."

Peyton could be considered a meritorious minister on Li Yu's path of growth, bearing hardships without complaint. Otherwise, many Gene Chain modulations would be a problem.

And Peyton, who reasonably shouldn't have had any reaction to such words, now let out a low "Mm."

"Tsk tsk, seems like there's a show to watch..." The Hunter thought for a moment, sighing slightly as he said: "Then I'll go back with you too. It's been a long time since I've seen a few Old Friends."
