Chapter 749: The Forerunners' Predicament

[Special Item——Covenant of Primus: Records the history of the Primordial Celestial Sovereign manufacturing the thirteen Primal Transformers.

By filling in materials, the thirteen Primal Transformers can be manufactured.]

This was the harvest brought back by Clone One, whose cooldown had finished during this half year.

When deploying it, it once again searched out the Transformers World. The other two worlds didn't have much value.

Li Yu simply issued a [Search for Precious Items] command.

And Clone One directly traveled the Universe, bringing back the [Covenant of Primus] from the Cybertron Homeworld.

This thing was equivalent to the history of Transformers. And now, Li Yu could manufacture the thirteen Primes by filling in materials.

And the material needed was exactly Transformers Alloy.

Originally, he could only manufacture Transformers Alloy through [Quintessa's Scepter of Life].

It was just that the material needed to manufacture the thirteen Primal Transformers was an astronomical figure.

Every single Primal Transformer needed over a hundred trillion tons of Transformers Alloy to be completely manufactured.

This was a hundred times more than manufacturing a Death Star. And placed before him were a full thirteen.

However, the [Covenant of Primus] also provided another choice, which was to reinforce existing Transformers.

He could apply the model onto a certain Transformer, and it could manifest without waiting to be completely manufactured.

He could slowly fill materials into it, equivalent to cultivating it.

Even so, for the models to initially manifest, they needed a total of thirteen trillion tons of Transformers Alloy.

And relying solely on his own production capacity, it would take a very long time to manufacture.

So he could only set his sights on the Star Glory Empire. The two sides hit it off and began In Cahoots.

Li Yu used the formula for the Life Leap Potion to exchange for a massive amount of Transformers Alloy, enough for him to complete the model sets.

As for choosing who would become the carriers for the Thirteen Primal Transformers, it was naturally the twelve golden immortals under his command.

Sufficiently powerful carriers could save him a lot of raw materials.

However, he was still short one Transformer. But it wasn't a problem, he could quickly reinforce one through [Quintessa's Scepter of Life].

Just as Li Yu was pondering, the experiment personnel had already brought out the Life Leap Potion from inside.

Li Yu had already drunk one before. Currently, his Gene Chain Development Progress was at 20%.

If he drank this bottle again, after completely digesting it, it could roughly reach 25%.

He had carefully experimented before. The side effects brought by the Life Leap Potion were nothing more than excessively excavating potential within a short period of time, harming the Cells in his body.

He could completely use the Tree of Life to erase this kind of side effect.

But thoroughly digesting the Life Leap Potion would require some time.

This thing was very similar to Genetic Serums, except Genetic Serums were through developing Gene Chain Progress.

And the Life Leap Potion was slightly easier to digest.

Li Yu had calculated that with the assistance of the Life Leap Potion, his Gene Chain Development Progress could be shortened by another half, which could already be called extreme speed.

He temporarily stored this tube of Potion away using a Space-Time Seal to avoid the medicinal efficacy from leaking.

Aenius also withdrew her gaze from the Laboratory, looking at Li Yu and saying: "The Empire's proposal from not long ago, how have you considered it?"

"It's doable, it's just this price..." Li Yu's tone was hesitant.

A while ago, the Star Glory Empire invited him to jointly launch an attack against The Forerunners.

This wasn't a small-scale skirmish, but a war akin to a general offensive.

During this half year, since Li Yu was no longer considered their enemy.

The Forerunners, who had been secretly causing trouble all along, naturally became a Thorn in One's Side for the Star Glory Empire.

Or rather, there was more of an idea of venting their resentment——

If we can't handle the Other-Dimensional Camp, can't we handle you guys?

After half a year of gathering, they had already grasped a lot of information. Although they couldn't temporarily figure out where The Forerunners' Headquarters was.

They had found many crucial bases, enough to launch a major operation.

Li Yu also joined in. After all, The Forerunners had ambushed him before, he naturally hadn't forgotten.

It was just that he hadn't invested too much power, only having his subordinates join in on the fun a few times.

He knew the Star Glory Empire would definitely launch a major operation.

If he showed too strong a hatred towards The Forerunners right from the start, the price offered by the Star Glory Empire would definitely be much less.

Through this period of cooperation and investigation, the Star Glory Empire also roughly understood that the claim of the Other-Dimensional Camp and The Forerunners being two sides of the same coin was completely nonsense.

They didn't know which Old Shady Schemer released this fake news, which had once misled their search direction.

"Thirteen trillion tons of alloy has already utilized over one-third of the Empire's alloy forging factories. The other forging factories need to guarantee the Empire's demands."

Aenius shook her head:

"In a short period of time, it's very difficult to take out more."

She was also somewhat Speechless. This Other-Dimensional Camp was completely treating them as an OEM factory. So much alloy was actually still not enough for their demands, she didn't know how many Transformation Legions they wanted to build.

"Then what about repairing Titan Artifacts?" Li Yu inquired.

"The Empire's Titan Artifacts still haven't been completely repaired, it's impossible to help you guys again." Aenius still shook her head.

Li Yu sighed, helplessly saying: "I also really want to help you guys, unfortunately..."

Aenius's face turned black. For the past half year, she was responsible for communicating with Li Yu.

She knew this guy was completely someone who was Not Showing One's Hand.

She also understood that Li Yu and The Forerunners also had some grudges, but the Star Glory Empire's longstanding grudge with the other party was deeper.

Li Yu just firmly grasped this point, prepared to extort a heavy sum.

Seeing that their appetite had been whetted enough, Li Yu said again: "How about this, you guys share that 'Fetus Fusion Forging Technology' with Returning Star, and I'll help you, how about it?"

"Share it with Returning Star?" Aenius swept a glance at Li Yu, her eyes cold: "Your Excellency Dragon Lord and Empress Klein's relationship is indeed not shallow."

Li Yu shrugged. During this half year, he found time to return to Returning Star once, because Klein's degree of control over Returning Star had become higher.

And he managed to convince Empress Klein in bed, thereby essentially making Returning Star completely become his logistical supply factory.

Although the Jade Void Palace had a time differential, its scale was very difficult to expand.

Of course, this was relative to his demands. The Dimensional Ship originally wasn't used as a logistical Base either.

"Fetus Fusion Forging Technology" was similar to the renamed "Peyton Gene Optimization Plan", it could reduce the time and materials for forging alloys.

"Exchange it with the 'Corun Energy Accumulation Plan'..." Aenius said, then added: "You should know, the levels of these two plans are completely different."

Aenius felt this was a loss, and forcibly made up for some of it.

"No problem..." Li Yu readily agreed, then looked at Aenius's exquisite cheek and smiled: "Pleasure cooperating..."

"Half a month from now will be the time to act."

Aenius revealed a polite smile and said.

Subsequently, she left with a massive amount of experiment reports.

The operation to deduce the tenth-rank leap Potion brooked no delay.

Li Yu also didn't mind. The Forerunners had been Covetously Staring at him for a period of time, even putting it into action.

Since the Star Glory Empire had the intention of solving this trouble, he also didn't mind lending a hand.

He actually didn't believe The Forerunners would be more powerful than the Other-Dimensional Camp he fabricated.

Just as he was pondering, his Smart Terminal rang. Sinai sent a message——

"Ron and the others have found another Civilization Ruins."

"Found another one?" Li Yu couldn't help but feel a bit of a Headache.

"This seems to be the seventh one in the past half year..."

Ron, or rather that kid named Joseph, definitely had some tricks.

Normal Interstellar Adventurers, even spending a year or even ten years, might not necessarily find a single Civilization Ruins in the vast Universe.

Even the squads specially trained in the Star Glory Empire to search for Civilization Ruins needed a massive amount of time to collect clues.

But this kid Joseph, it was completely blind crashing, yet he just happened to be able to crash into them.

Of course, the harvests in the vast majority of Civilization Ruins weren't considered huge, this was relatively speaking for him.

Sometimes they could also find some novel Technology, which he all threw to the Star Glory Empire, treating it as the foundation of the Other-Dimensional Camp.

When the Star Glory Empire was still pondering exactly how many development paths the Other-Dimensional Camp had.

Little did they know Ron and the others were huffing and puffing, accumulating the foundation of the Other-Dimensional Camp.

"Just follow the normal procedure..." Li Yu sent a message.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of news didn't need to be reported to him at all.

But he had specially instructed Sinai to pay attention to news about these two people, which was why she reported to him.

But he also didn't know if it was because the first outing had some kind of buff, the Civilization Ruins the two found later fell far short of the first time.

"Hmm... I can open up a dimensional world again..."

Feeling his own state, Li Yu's eyes lit up slightly, and carrying the Titan Giant Axe, he disappeared from here.

…………

At the Forerunner Base, the once-a-month regular meeting convened once again.

However, looking at the several Seats that were missing once again, the Pioneer Chief's expression couldn't help but darken.

The others' expressions also didn't look too good. Someone said with a bitter face: "In the past month, four more of our Outlying bases were taken down, one of which was a High-Level Base."

"Too fast..." Someone's tone was gloomy.

Someone added: "They basically used all their power on dealing with us. I heard a group of Marauders who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth swept past the Star Glory Empire's borders, and it took a full half month before they were killed."

"F*ck, the Star Glory Empire is venting all their anger towards the Other-Dimensional Camp on us." A certain High Echelon was Muttering Curses.

Previously, they didn't feel anything, mocking the Star Glory Empire just like everyone else for being too useless to even find traces of the Other-Dimensional Camp.

However, when the Star Glory Empire used all their power on dealing with them, they finally truly felt the Star Glory Empire's power.

The first two months were still okay, but in the latter few months, their Outlying bases were disappearing at a rate of at least five per month, making all the High Echelon taste fear.

It also made them recall why the organization had once completely Lie Dormant.

"Yeah, in a few combat Recordings sent back, it showed there were traces of the Transformation Legion. Li Yu also participated in the search for us."

As soon as these words came out, the depressed atmosphere grew heavier.

They originally hoped the Other-Dimensional Camp and the Star Glory Empire would both suffer heavy losses so they could pick up cheap benefits.

In the end, these two b*tches actually hooked up together and shifted their firepower to deal with them together. Too detestable!

The Pioneer Chief looked around, feeling the decadent atmosphere, and felt even more anger in his heart, shouting: "It hasn't reached the point of At the End of One's Rope yet, it's just a few Outlying bases."

"They will soon have no time to attend to us."

Hearing this, the numerous High Echelon couldn't help but look towards their Boss, revealing expressions of anticipation.

"On the eve of his capture, the Third Forerunner noticed a matter that is extremely crucial to the Star Glory Empire." The Pioneer Chief spoke slowly: "It was a matter that happened in The Council. I have already contacted the Old Ones."

"Before long, the Star Glory Empire will have no choice but to shift their gaze away from us."

The numerous High Echelon were secretly astonished, not expecting their own Boss to actually still hide such a matter.

"As for Li Yu..." The Pioneer Chief paused, then said: "It's also time for that group of Terror Lifeforms to be put to use. Have them attack Returning Star."

"I received news that Returning Star is helping Li Yu produce an extremely important raw material. Li Yu cannot sit back and watch Returning Star be attacked."

"This..." A High Echelon hesitated: "Among that group of Terror Lifeforms, there are also a few smart ones. I'm afraid they also won't be willing to offend Li Yu."

"After all, they personally witnessed that war back then."

"Then don't contact those smart ones. Go find the stupider ones, those who don't understand these secrets!" The Pioneer Chief shouted coldly.

"Yes... Yes..." That High Echelon hurriedly nodded.

"In addition, remember to hide your Identity, don't let others track it back to us." He instructed again.

It was originally meant to Divert Trouble to Others. If someone found out their Identity, wouldn't it be adding fuel to the fire.

Only then did that High Echelon reveal a smile, saying: "Rest assured. When I first started contacting that group of terror entities, I used a fake Identity. It was someone from a certain Revolutionary Army, belonging to The Reformers."

Most of the Terror Lifeforms causing chaos in the Interstellar space had already been pretty much wiped out by the A-Tier Alliance.

Those remaining were some relatively rational ones, or those who could endure silently.

And this portion of power could also be called terrifying. If used well, it was enough to become a helping hand, thus many people had their eyes on this group of Terror Lifeforms.

The Forerunners were one of those eyeing this portion of power.
