Chapter 759: Preparing for Action

The people of the Cassandra Civilization quickly evacuated this place, preparing to go back and discuss what kind of Public Opinion to use to cover up the disaster in the Fire Ring Star System.

A sudden attack by Terror Lifeforms?

Or a sudden cosmic disaster?

Meanwhile, Li Yu stayed here. Not too much time had passed, so he could use the Time Stone to rewind.

But the problem was that the price was simply too great, and even if he watched it, there might not be any useful clues.

Since the other party came for that special thing, it was highly likely that Ron and Josel had already lost their lives.

After all, they were just two ordinary lifeforms, unless the other party had some other use for them...

Li Yu's eyes flashed, and he said: "Lock onto the location where those two found this Emblem, and scatter Dimensional Rift Generators around it."

Since the other party was after that Emblem, there was perhaps a minuscule probability they would head to the location where the Emblem was found.

Most of them had interacted with Li Yu. He was actually quite curious about what secret this thing held, to make the other party risk offending him.

It wasn't that he was arrogant. Under normal circumstances, without sufficient profit driving them, no one In interstellar space would be willing to offend him for no reason.

More importantly, a lifeform of this level could completely use another method to obtain what they wanted.

For example, trading.

Li Yu wouldn't mind trading.

He also didn't believe Ron would be stupid enough not to use his Identity to deter the other party.

Which meant that the other party, knowing clearly that Ron was his man, could have used a trade to get what they wanted.

But they still chose to use such forceful means.

There were only two possibilities. The matter involving that Emblem was so massive that the other party didn't want the slightest accident.

The other possibility was that the other party was an enemy, thus having no scruples against him.

"Yes, Master..." Claptrap responded, having already begun issuing commands.

This was just a minor interlude while waiting for news of the Star Glory Empire's attack.

Mainly, some information revealed within made Li Yu extremely curious.

Through a Dimensional Rift, he quickly arrived at the place where Ron and Joseph found that Emblem.

This place was located in the Ancient Starpath, not a planet, but seeming like garbage floating In interstellar space.

"This thing..."

Li Yu looked at the metal ruin before him. The edges of the metal seemed to have been torn apart by something, thus somewhat curled.

Based on the modeling, it looked like giant seeds or some kind of hypertrophied plant pod.

Complex decorative patterns were depicted on the smooth alloy shell, with silver as the main color tone.

Despite being aerospace equipment that evoked a sense of coldness and rigidity, this ruined base still bore elegant, intricate patterns and finely carved decorations everywhere.

It seemed to be part of some large base, swept into the Ancient Starpath for some unknown reason.

This thing had already been located, and the Transformers around it were strictly guarding it.

This thing was just a storage cabin. Besides the Star Emblem, there was nothing inside.

Everything that needed checking had been checked. It was hard to obtain any more useful information from it.

After Li Yu confirmed through various methods, he shifted his attention away from it.

He placed Dimensional Rift Generators over a large area nearby to prevent the other party from locking down space again, which would result in his inability to arrive in time.

He also didn't know if the other party would come. This probability should be very small. Out of caution, they shouldn't come to this place in a short time.

However, these arrangements didn't cost much.

This matter was temporarily shelved by Li Yu. News from the Star Glory Empire came quickly. Through interrogating Bassens, they had successfully corrected the erroneous information they had obtained previously.

They would soon be able to launch an attack against The Forerunners, telling him to make preparations.

And they shared over fifty Outlying bases of The Forerunners.

There was a difference between Outlying bases.

They weren't fixed in a certain place, building large Laboratories or Research Bases.

They would also infiltrate a certain Star System rich in precious minerals.

Spending a long time replacing the middle and lower echelons all with their people.

The High Echelon Archons were frequently replaced, but those lower-level figures might not move for decades.

At the same time, those people were also the primary executors of the High Echelon's orders.

Through such methods, they could steal various precious minerals completely Gods unaware, ghosts unknown.

These also belonged to their Outlying bases, but this type was considered the lowest level.

Large Research Bases built in specific environments, dedicated to a certain project, belonged to high-level Outlying bases.

Bassens himself was in charge of a High-Level Base, specifically used to research the extended development of Superpowers.

And among the coordinates of the fifty Outlying bases provided by The Forerunners, only five were High-Level Bases, one of which was the one Bassens had just confessed.

As for the other Outlying bases, they were all similar resource-stealing bases.

And to destroy these bases required the simultaneous mobilization of at least over a hundred A-Tier Lifeforms, as well as a massive amount of support.

Moreover, there was another troublesome issue. If they didn't act at the same time, or if some leak occurred in between.

Then The Reformers would definitely activate some emergency measure, causing this operation by the Star Glory Empire to not say return without achievement, but at least be greatly discounted.

Taking all this into consideration, although this wasn't a head-on battle, the manpower and resources to be mobilized were not small.

Furthermore, according to Bassens's confession, The Forerunners had also noticed something amiss and had already secretly evacuated many Outlying bases.

Originally, the number of Outlying bases the Star Glory Empire had a grasp on had reached over seventy.

Obviously, in the Star Glory Empire's plan, this would be a Thunder Strike.

The Star Glory Empire even wanted to use Li Yu's Jade Void Palace as a transit hub to make the operation more convenient.

But they were decisively refused by him.

The reason he could roam freely now was because of the special nature of Jade Void Palace and the elusive Other-Dimensional Camp.

Regarding these two aspects, he wouldn't allow any accidents to occur.

And the Star Glory Empire had no other choice but to proceed Step-By-Step and begin mobilizing troops according to the operational plan.

As for Li Yu, he was mainly responsible for two High-Level Bases and twenty ordinary bases.

The defense forces in High-Level Bases were definitely stronger. If not resolved immediately, it was unknown what other trouble would occur.

…………

Just when Li Yu thought it was highly likely that Ron and the other had already died, the two of them were actually fearfully following this guy of unknown origin on an interstellar journey.

"He can actually turn into a Spaceship himself, is this a Superpower?" Ron's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

The two of them were currently inside a pure white Spaceship, with almost no superfluous colors, nor any confinement measures.

This Spaceship was transformed by that guy who captured the two of them back then.

It wasn't just for show, but could genuinely undertake long-distance voyages, far exceeding many high-end Spaceships.

"The place where we found the Emblem must have Lord Dragon Sovereign's subordinates guarding it..." Joseph calmly passed a message to Ron using his fingers.

The reason this guy didn't kill them was precisely to have them lead him to the place where the Emblem was found.

And the two of them knew that place had already been locked down by the Transformation Legion.

What they were counting on naturally wasn't those Transformation Legions, but that Dragon Sovereign had already discovered their disappearance, deduced this guy's purpose, and set up an ambush long ago.

But the only hidden danger was that Dragon Sovereign probably couldn't be sure they were still alive.

Then inferring this bizarre lifeform's purpose would be Out of the question.

Although they were full of confidence in Dragon Sovereign, right now they could only pray.

"I carefully researched that Dragon Sovereign or whatever, and found him to indeed be quite interesting." A white figure extended from the Ground, standing not far from them.

This made Ron jump in fright.

"He evolved to this degree in a very short time, it's indeed astonishing." He didn't understand this interstellar space very well.

Those people he Devoured previously also controlled limited information, and many deeper-level details required him to unearth himself.

He had rarely encountered such a fast Evolution speed. They were basically some experimental subjects, created through special methods.

Possessing extreme Evolution speed, but also having fatal flaws in other aspects.

But this one nicknamed Dragon Sovereign didn't seem to be a simple experimental subject.

"However, what I care more about is that Other-Dimensional Camp. You work for Dragon Sovereign, have you come into contact with this organization?" He inquired, his tone casual, as if asking if they had eaten.

"No..." Ron shook his head: "We haven't reached that level yet. You can also see that our Life Tier is very low."

"It's only because of some special reasons that we work for Dragon Sovereign, how could we be qualified to come into contact with the Other-Dimensional Camp."

He nodded, not harboring any doubts about this. The Life Tier of these two people before him was indeed very low, and it was unlikely they could come into contact with any secrets.

"Interesting... I didn't expect this Ruins to not only give birth to the Star Glory Empire, but also this kind of mysterious organization..." He murmured softly.

He didn't avoid Ron and the other. By catching some information, Ron and Josel also had some realization.

This guy in front of them was highly likely not a person from this interstellar space.

But the other party's unreserved attitude towards them also made them understand that once their use value was gone, what awaited them would definitely be death.

"We should be arriving at the coordinates you gave me soon..." He looked at Ron and the other, a hint of regret flowing in his eyes:

"It's a pity your Life Tiers are too low. Those I Devoured previously have already disgusted me for a long time."

Ron and the other didn't understand, glancing at each other, both feeling a shudder down their spines.

………

Ten days later, the Star Glory Empire finally finished their preparations.

The Outlying bases of The Forerunners were basically not within the territory of the Star Glory Empire.

If the Star Glory Empire wanted to launch a retaliatory strike, they could only conduct cross-civilization operations.

If they went through normal procedures, not only would the time be cumbersome, but news might also leak.

So the Star Glory Empire chose another method, Act first, report later.

They directly sent people to infiltrate those civilizations, preparing to notify them only after carrying out the operation. Anyway, they were the Boss, no one dared to say anything.

Even so, it still took quite some time to prepare.

As for Li Yu, it was relatively simple. He just had to send people to hold the Dimensional Rift Generators, and open the portals directly when preparing for action, saving a lot of effort.

"Then here's wishing our operation success." Li Yu scanned Aenius, Loyd, and Loren.

This was the Operations base, surrounded by Holographic Screens cut into small blocks, with a massive number of Staff Members intensely operating them.

Displayed on the screens were real-time operation feeds. Loren was the general person in charge of this operation, responsible for issuing commands from the center.

Aenius and Loyd were projections. They were each in charge of one High-Level Base, their main bodies no longer here.

There were also many A-Tier Lifeforms assisting in the operation, but none were qualified to stand alongside them.

Aenius's eyes held slight dissatisfaction because Li Yu refused the "borrowing the path" transaction, causing the Star Glory Empire to expend a lot of extra costs for no reason.

Loyd, on the other hand, was expressionless, as if he didn't know Li Yu at all.

"With Your Excellency's assistance, it will certainly succeed." Only Loren chimed in. As a Seasoned veteran, he naturally wouldn't be swayed by emotions.

"It's just a bit of a pity that we didn't find that kind of extremely crucial base of The Forerunners, the kind of base that would cause a riot among all The Forerunners with just a slight touch." Li Yu was quite regretful.

"The time The Forerunners have been exposed is relatively short after all. Being able to find this information is already not bad. It's also thanks to Your Excellency's help, otherwise The Forerunners would have continued to hide."

Loren smiled slightly, smoothly complimenting Li Yu.

"This kind of Malignant tumor that disrupts the stability of Interstellar Society, everyone has the right to punish them." Li Yu sighed twice.

Hearing these words, Aenius and Loyd both glanced at him simultaneously, but neither spoke.

Loren also said: "Your Excellency is right. Maintaining the stability of Interstellar Society is the shared expectation of both our sides."

"Is the operation not starting yet?"

Aenius couldn't listen anymore. She felt that if she didn't interrupt, these two Shameless guys could flatter each other until tomorrow.

"Of course we can..." Loren nodded, then looked at Li Yu.

"Understood, please turn off the Space Stabilization Device, I'll set off now..." Li Yu said.

Loren subsequently issued the command, and Li Yu also opened a Dimensional Rift and stepped into it.

Watching the gradually closing Dimensional Rift, Loren's eyes were profound. Then he calmly turned his gaze to the Holographic Screen, his voice Ancient Well Without Ripples: "Operation preparation begins, have everyone get ready."

Immediately, a massive amount of commands were issued from here, reaching the ears of countless Fully armed Imperial Soldiers.
