Primeval Star River, Modo Civilization, Three Kings Planet …
"… Recently, there have been a lot of assassinations of officials, which has caused an extremely bad impact on society. The identity of the murderer is unknown, but judging from the clues, the Red Empire is behind these incidents. Clearly, Madi failed, and his methods were not able to hide from the dynasty."
In the Internal Affairs Pavilion, an important meeting was going on. Many ministers were gathered to discuss the recent events, and everyone had an ugly expression.
The series of assassinations of officials had affected the stability of society, making countless Modo citizens feel anxious. The entire ruling class also felt ashamed.
With their own safety threatened, all of these high-ranking ministers were furious beyond words.
"Too arrogant! Does the dynasty really think we're those low-level civilizations that can't fight back? If we join forces with the other Supercluster level civilizations in the Primeval Star River to become independent and separate this Star Field from the rule of the three Universal Civilizations, let's see how they'll deal with this! "A bad-tempered military minister slammed the table furiously.
"Don't say such things out of anger," someone reminded him.
The others present did not take this seriously. Although all the Supercluster level civilizations had a grudge against the three Universal Civilizations for a long time and wanted to replace them, there was no turning back for independence. Unless they were confident, no one would support it.
After venting for a while, they returned to the main topic and discussed how to deal with this.
"No matter what, we have to stop more assassinations from happening first, but we can't give in to the dynasty. There's nothing much to say to them. They'll definitely want to prove that we're using the natives and compensate us for their losses. Dream on!"
"That's right. Declare that this incident has nothing to do with us. If the dynasty shows us evidence, we'll insist that it's fake."
"Also, we have to prove that the dynasty assassinated our officials without any reason and submit a request to the Civilization Conference to punish this despicable method. Radiance and Ethereal should be on our side, and we can also rope in more Supercluster level civilizations. The universe isn't ruled by the dynasty alone."
Someone shook his head, not optimistic about this plan. "The Flickering World is about to be opened to the outside world. I don't think anyone will want to openly fall out with the dynasty."
"Then, what do we do? We can't just let the dynasty kill our officers."
"Humph, let's just give them an eye for an eye. They assassinated our officers, and we'll assassinate their officers. It's as if we don't have Supers."
Someone could not help but object. "Assassinate the dynasty's people? Have you all forgotten the Tragedy of the Pinnacles incident? "
Hearing this, most people's faces filled with anger.
They had not forgotten this shameful history from thousands of years ago. The Beyond Grade As of the three Universal Civilizations had hurt each other, and because they were worried that they would lose the strategic advantage of individual strength, they made up a groundless accusation and slaughtered all the Beyond Grade A allies of the Super Star Cluster Civilizations, including the Modo Civilization, before leaving.
This move not only greatly damaged the strength of the Super Star Cluster Civilizations at that time but also left a long-term negative impact. Many Beyond Grade As were worried about their personal safety and did not dare accept the recruitment of the Super Star Cluster Civilizations. The three Universal Civilizations used this to capture even more Beyond Grade As, which was almost a fatal blow to them.
Therefore, the Modo Civilization knew that the other party could assassinate their people as revenge and a warning. However, once they assassinated the other party, they would be challenging the ruling power of the three Universal Civilizations, which would cause a bloody storm. The federation and the church would no longer watch the show and would join the dynasty to deal with Modo. When it came to protecting their authority, the three Civilizations Civilizations were all in the same boat.
They had experienced this kind of behavior many times, and they had to swallow their anger time and time again.
"Don't go too far. The assassination is just a small matter. The dynasty knows what they're doing. They won't dare push us too far … but we have to fight back, and we have to pay attention to the strength of our counterattack. We can't touch the dynasty itself, so we can only take a step back and deal with their allies … Hmm, but it's only limited to their allies. Don't kill any Beyond Grade As. "
"I think Beyoni is very suitable. His organization is rooted in the Primeval Star River, so it'll be easy to deal with him. This will also show our attitude."
With just a few words, they had decided Beyoni's bad luck for a period of time.
To Supercluster level civilizations, unless it was someone like Manison from the Mecha Empire, Kasuyi, Black Star, or Han Xiao, ordinary Beyond Grade As were nothing in their eyes. Even a Star Cluster could kill a Beyond Grade A, let alone a Supercluster level civilization.
The dynasty sent people to assassinate our officials, so we definitely have to take revenge.
As for the fact that we were the ones who schemed in the beginning and caused the Empire to suffer losses in the war, we were in the wrong …
So what? Wasn't that our goal in the first place?
We're all gangsters, so let's not talk about each other.
This time, someone said worriedly, "These are all trivial matters.
What I'm concerned about is that the dynasty will restrict us from entering the Flickering World in the future because of this matter. "
"What's there to be afraid of? The Flickering World will be opened to the outside world sooner or later. Even the dynasty won't be able to stop this. If they specifically prohibit us from entering, then we'll cause trouble! Not only us, but the other Supercluster level civilizations will definitely stand on our side. Let's see if the dynasty can withstand the pressure! "
The Modo Civilization was not worried about offending the dynasty and losing the opportunity to enter the Flickering World.
All the Supercluster level civilizations knew that even if the Flickering World was opened to the outside world, the three Universal Civilizations would definitely suppress their development. Therefore, they had already formed a strategic alliance in private and decided to work together.
The Flickering World was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so the Supercluster level civilizations were willing to work together for it.
Even if the Modo Civilization was the only one being suppressed in the Flickering World, the other Supercluster level civilizations would also step forward to support them. Although none of them liked helping their competitors, working together to break the blockade of the three Universal Civilizations was more important. On this issue, the Supercluster level civilizations understood the principle of 'if the lips were gone, the teeth would be cold' and would not be divided by others.
Furthermore, the dynasty could not do anything at the same time, so they could only use the harmless method of assassination as a warning. The Modo Civilization realized this and was not afraid at all. They secretly rubbed their palms together, waiting for the Flickering World to open to the public.
The Supercluster level civilizations had the confidence to fight against the three Universal Civilizations. After all, they were different from the Star Cluster level civilizations and did not have the space to curry favor with the three Universal Civilizations.
They could only fight and snatch.
…
In the Limitless Financial Group headquarters, the Mecha Empire Manison, Void Overlord Kasuyi, and Beast Ancestor Gorután visited Sorokin again.
"May I know why the three of you are looking for me today?"
In the bright and clean financial group leader's office, the four of them sat in a circle. Sorokin glanced at the three of them and smiled.
"Do you still remember our deal?" Gorutan said in a low, muffled voice.
"Of course. I'm in charge of competing with the Black Star Corps, squeezing their business space and applying external pressure to help you guys obtain the Evolutionary Totem," Sorokin said calmly.
Kasuyi opened his mouth and said, "However, your results in the past few years don't seem to be very good."
The Black Star Corps withstood the pressure of the Limitless Financial Group and did not achieve the desired effect. This made the organizations behind the three of them very unhappy, and Manison and the other two were here to hold them accountable on behalf of the organizations behind them.
"Hehe." Sorokin did not mind and slowly said, "As I said, the Black Star Corps is not so easy to deal with."
"We hope you can increase your efforts."
"No problem." Sorokin chuckled. "However, I have already shown my sincerity. Now, it's your turn."
The three of them understood that Sorokin was asking the organizations behind them to fulfill a part of the cooperation agreement. Otherwise, they could not voice their opinions.
"It's not a big problem," Manison said calmly. "Those resource support, preferential policies, and deep cooperation projects will be implemented very soon."
"Then, I'll wait." Sorokin smiled. "It just so happens that my next plan also needs to wait for the right time."
"What plan?" Gorután asked.
Sorokin cleared his throat and slowly said, "After several years of competition, the Black Star Corps has been in the past few years.
"After a few years of competition, the Black Star Army and I have reached a stalemate. It is very difficult to find a new breakthrough in the Shattered Star Ring. Therefore, I'm aiming for the Flickering World. That will be the new development center of the Black Star Corps. "
"I have insider information that the dynasty will open the Flickering World to the public during the fourth exploration phase. At that time, it will be a carnival for the entire universe. Countless organizations will enter and form a new structure, especially in the area of commerce. Countless financial groups will be waiting to seize the market. This is also my chance."
He had long had his eyes on the development of the Flickering World and was waiting for the Limitless Financial Group to enter and seize the market. At that time, he could use economic means to pressure the Black Star Corps.
After the army obtained the benefits of the territory, they would have to bear the responsibility and risk of managing it. Sorokin wanted to open up a new battlefield in another base of the army.
The production, demand, and circulation of resources in the territory were huge markets. The Limitless Financial Group had plenty of ways to use their wealth to seize market share and squeeze out the survival space of other normal enterprises in the Black Star Territory.
At that time, whether it was remotely controlling some galactic enterprises to affect the efficiency of resource circulation, using trade means to increase obstacles for the economic development of the Black Star Territory, or building smuggling and intelligence channels around different industries in the Black Star Territory, all of these could bring more pressure to the Black Star Corps. These were the methods that the Limitless Financial Group was familiar with.
Of course, Sorokin's main goal was still to expand the Limitless Financial Group.
Compared to the benefits of the Flickering World, the cost of suppressing the Black Star Corps was not worth mentioning in his eyes.
…
The small conflict between the Red Empire and the Modo Civilization did not develop into a more serious conflict due to the restraint of both sides. It did not have much of an impact on the peaceful development of the entire universe.
The main theme of exploration and expansion affected many aspects. Most civilizations and civil organizations were content with their lot and had been paying attention to the development progress of the Flickering World. They were also silently preparing manpower and resources for the opening of the Flickering World in the future.
Due to the influence of the overall environment, the situation in the galaxy remained peaceful. Occasionally, there would be small conflicts, but they were not harmful to the overall situation.
In such an environment, the dynasty's second exploration phase was successfully completed, and the third exploration phase began. The dynasty used this as a bargaining chip to sign more allies and vassals, making the third exploration phase's army grow even stronger.
During peaceful times, the footsteps of time seemed to be even more silent. It was as if one would only realize that one year had passed when they turned around.
Without too many twists and turns, the dynasty completed its goal on schedule, and the third exploration phase smoothly came to an end.
On July 15, Year 729 of the Galaxy Calendar, the Red Empire finally released an official decree that the entire universe had been waiting for.
Not long after, the fourth exploration phase, the Flickering World, would officially open to the public!
It was like detonating a psionic bomb.
The universe that had been peaceful for more than a decade instantly boiled over!
