Chapter 878: What is the Real Star Glory Empire Like?

"Sigh, everyone, I'm truly sorry. That trip to whatever Deep Dimensional World really caused me huge losses. I had to recuperate for such a long time to recover."

Li Yu showed a look of lamentation. Looking at the holographic projection in front of him, he paused for a moment and added: "What I just didn't expect is that Your Excellency Alessandro is actually still alive."

Alessandro's face was pitch black. This guy had returned from the Deep Dimensional World for a long time but just wouldn't show his face.

This time, if they hadn't taken a tough stance, they probably still wouldn't have been able to contact this guy.

"I know you've already obtained the Transcendental Temple, you don't need to pretend with me." Alessandro's patience had long been exhausted over these few years, directly getting straight to the point:

"The Transcendental Temple has Authority detection. Only some specific people have the qualifications to use it."

"Uh..." Li Yu was just about to speak when he was interrupted by Alessandro: "That's right, currently in the entire Universe, I'm probably the only one who can use it."

"Actually..."

"You definitely must have noticed it as well. I'm not saying this to threaten you, after all, I can't threaten you anyway." Alessandro's expression was calm as he said:

"The Star Glory Empire is my child. As long as there's a glimmer of hope, I will let it..."

"Wait!" Li Yu suddenly said loudly, which finally made the chattering Alessandro stop and look at him somewhat puzzled.

"This... there's something I haven't told you yet. At first, I did obtain that whatever Transcendental Temple, but it was snatched away by a guy calling himself Mesto or the Devouring Archfiend."

Li Yu shrugged: "So that thing isn't in my hands..."

"Not in your hands?" Alessandro obviously didn't believe this excuse. He frowned and said: "Didn't you contact the protector behind you?"

"He's one of the most powerful Dimensional Demon Gods. His Strength is tyrannical, and no one can keep him in check." Li Yu sighed mournfully: "If I hadn't acted according to the situation, I might not have even been able to come back."

Alessandro didn't say a word. Out of some inherent impressions, he didn't believe what Li Yu said.

It was just that the Transcendental Temple indeed couldn't function in the hands of an outsider. If it really was in Li Yu's hands, it would be entirely a decoration. It was impossible for him to have no thoughts about the suggestion he put forward.

"Alright, I still have things to do on my side, let's talk later." Li Yu brushed him off with a few words, then immediately hung up the communication.

"Grumbling non-stop, if you annoy me I'll twist your head off..." Li Yu muttered a couple of sentences. Peyton, who was studying data on the side, heard these words and couldn't help but cast a puzzled look over, asking: "Do you still need to care about the Star Glory Empire now?"

"With your current Strength, it shouldn't take too much effort to wipe out those Antiques, right?"

"What are you saying? The Star Glory Empire is our cooperation partner anyway, how could you have such malicious thoughts?" Li Yu said in surprise.

"Moreover, do I look like a bloodthirsty person?"

Peyton was Speechless, staring at him with a pair of dead fish eyes.

Li Yu felt unnatural being stared at and immediately waved his hand, saying: "Alright, alright, keeping the Star Glory Empire is still useful. It's not time to deal with them yet."

The current Star Glory Empire indeed couldn't cause him much trouble.

The previous estimation of having scruples about the Star Glory Empire was, on one hand, because he couldn't handle the lower-level issues after touching the High Echelon, and on the other hand, Li Yu also had his own considerations.

It was just that the time hadn't come yet.

"Right, I heard a new batch of outside explorers was captured. Any new information?" Li Yu changed the subject and asked.

Peyton thought for a moment and said: "There is one piece of information."

"Two months ago, the Chief Researcher in charge of exploring this area of The Ruins was dismissed, and a Newcomer took over."

"The attitude this guy conveyed is quite strong. If we continue to keep them under house arrest like this, it will be regarded as a declaration of war against them."

"Damian was dismissed?" Li Yu was somewhat surprised, but thinking about it, it made sense. With no progress for such a long time, those higher-ups must have been disappointed in him too.

However, according to his understanding, this guy had been a person unwilling to admit defeat since childhood, and even more so a guy who would use any means to achieve his goals.

Who knows, he might stir up some Unexpected Trouble. After all, they had been covering it up for so long, even a fool would know the so-called Star Glory Empire was not right.

"Continue the house arrest, ignore what they say," Li Yu ordered casually.

"If this goes on, they will definitely develop a second exploration point, and we won't be able to capture them then," Peyton said.

Li Yu shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter. Being able to delay for so long is already enough."

He didn't intend to keep delaying forever anyway. At this point, delaying for another day was just another day gained.

He didn't even bother finding Excuses anymore, just imprisoning them directly was enough.

...

At the same time, looking at the screen that had gone black, Alessandro couldn't help but clench his fists.
