Chapter 1051: Chapter 540: Invisible Struggle
This eting was unlike the first one when everyone was eager and felt that confronting the Three Great Civilizations was just within reach.
Yet, when it ca down to it, it was still the sa old way, with each person silently lanting in their heart.
However, fortunately, this ti we didn’t end up being notorious; if we were to pass the Three Great Civilizations’ draft, who knows how many nicknas we’d get.
Cowards, weaklings, all sorts of labels might have been thrown upon us.
Nevertheless, the crisis of council seat rotation still looms ahead.
If it were possible, of course, everyone would like to retain their council seat.
After the eting, everyone logged off heavily burdened, and the virtual projections before them gradually dissipated.
Li Ming appeared calm, considering the council seat as sothing he could take or leave. If they wouldn’t allow him to use a chanical body, then he’d just give it up.
He certainly can’t fight with just an S-class body.
The interstellar alliance moved quickly, with several provisions published to the universe shortly after the eting.
The simple proposals within were addressed, with more detailed supplents detailing cris not to be committed, essentially heinous offenses that no one would be forced into committing.
Coupled with the secondary council seat objection system, this finally allowed a significant portion of people to relax.
“I said, it’s impossible for the Three Great Civilizations and the interstellar alliance to accept truly vile criminals…”
“Hehe, but I heard the Three Great Civilizations’ original proposal wasn’t like this…”
“Don’t spout nonsense, where’s the concrete source? Must be blabber from so foolish strears…”
As for the high-level lifeforms, the “Ultimate Path” prepared jointly by the Three Great Civilizations was more tempting.
This was a rumor that wouldn’t be placed on public channels, but it already made many x-level lifeforms who were initially unwilling to join eager to do so.
Whether or not to beco a tool of the Three Great Civilizations, they didn’t care, what mattered most was their own evolution.
Interstellar disputes were incessant, and the specific expansion ti of the High-level Life Form Union was announced alongside many detailed provisions.
It would be one month later.
……
The chanical Court, Heavenly Palace.
Anduin’s virtual projection wandered in front of Li Ming, worriedly saying, “Trouble…”
“The interstellar alliance has formulated more detailed challenge rules. After each challenge, there will be designated personnel to thoroughly inspect the health status of each council seat mber, to ensure they can withstand the next challenge.”
“If they refuse the challenge, it’s regarded as a forfeit, automatically relinquishing their council seat identity, while ordinary mbers can challenge council seat mbers at any ti, and those who fail cannot initiate a second challenge.”
Challenges aren’t spaced out; as long as one is healthy, they must accept a challenge, which seems odd.
But in practice, the number of ordinary mbers is limited, so even if each takes a turn, there would be at most a few dozen challenges.
Moreover, there are those who know they are no match, so all in all, there won’t be too many.
Anduin sighed repeatedly, as the interstellar alliance had patched the loopholes, causing his bug-exploit plan to fail.
He felt helpless: “And apart from that, there’s a detailed rule indicating that weapons can’t be used during challenges, though it doesn’t ntion anything about chanical bodies, it should be aid at you.”
“Your seat was allocated to the Star Alliance, which is why they focused on you last ti.”
“Don’t worry,” Li Ming shook his head, unconcerned about the matter.
The council seat ans nothing; strength is what truly matters. Alves, Tan Ding, are they mbers of the council? Yet, they overshadow everyone.
Anduin was speechless and couldn’t understand Azure Dragon at all.
There’s still the Three Great Civilizations, and Quintus, Tan Ding, and their hidden x-level lifeforms.
He couldn’t figure out where the other party’s ease ca from.
If Azure Dragon didn’t care about other matters, he wouldn’t have needed to interact with the interstellar, just stay hidden away.
For years, nobody had seen him, so since he’s shown up, he must have a motive.
No matter the intention, the council seat is an extrely convenient channel, giving it up so easily?
But Azure Dragon remained utterly indifferent, leaving him no choice but to sigh several tis.
After the major reshuffle of the council seat, he’ll also need to consider his own path.
After Anduin’s virtual projection disappeared, Li Ming opened his smart terminal to scan Blackbeard’s reports and ssages.
Before Anduin unexpectedly contacted him, he was doing the sa.
“…There were several conflicts with the Empire…traced back the temporal condensation state…”
Blackbeard’s recent reports were quite excited, suggesting that the Eternal Silence Star was indeed near.
“…”
…
A month flew by, and the interstellar alliance headquarters, located in an independent star system, existed outside the domain of any civilization. It was modified to the highest standards, and various subsidiary institutions’ headquarters are also here.
Usually, many people co and go here.
Today, however, was even more astounding, with a large number of uniquely grandiose interstellar spacecraft arriving, all custom ships for various x-level lifeforms. They were not ordinary individuals, so their travels were naturally grandiose.
For this, the interstellar alliance even suspended other operations, serving only the High-level Life Form Union during this period.
The joining of ordinary mbers, unlike the initial invitation, required them to co to the headquarters for registration and identity verification.
Various interstellar dia also set up extensive equipnt to live broadcast this grand event.
The High-level Life Form Union was established on a planet where silver-grey tal buildings covered the entire area, with a light blue energy barrier flowing over their surface.
An annular platform floated above the octagonal main building, with its floor covered in impact-absorbing active alloy plates that rippled with a liquid-like effect whenever a flying device landed.
The main rooms were built exceptionally spacious to accommodate the different sizes of each x-level life form.
“…Lord Zed, long ti no see…”
Acquaintances greeted each other, as high-level life forms often have opportunities to interact.
So have good relationships, while others are hostile to one another.
The x-level life forms arriving, guided by staff, moved towards the hall.
“Tsk… isn’t that Reynolds and Mikhail’s carrier? Are they also here?” soone said in surprise upon entering, seeing two very conspicuous chanical bodies.
“Hugo, do we need to inform you when we’re coming?” Reynolds heard their conversation and imdiately shouted.
“No need… no need…” Hugo chuckled awkwardly.
“There are quite a few people here, it’s rare to see so many x-level life forms.” Reynolds snorted, withdrawing his gaze and glancing around.
“The open knowledge resources related to the Ultimate Path are extrely tempting,” Mikhail stated blandly.
At this mont, the number of x-level life forms in the hall exceeded seventy.
And this was not counting those still on their way and those with no interest at all.
Of course, there were also those who couldn’t join due to restrictions.
“No wonder the Three Great Civilizations have always suppressed them; when the chanic Association was established, the Three Great Civilizations just turned a blind eye.” Reynolds couldn’t help but sigh.
Mikhail sighed, “Therefore, when the chanic Association was targeted, we had almost no power to resist. But if this organization is allowed to grow, can you imagine the situation?”
Reynolds mocked, “The council seat will be taken over; it would all just beco the dogs of the Three Great Civilizations, wiped out in one go.”
He spoke unabashedly, drawing the attention of many, while enemies with past conflicts glanced with apparent disgust, whispering among themselves.
“Keep it down, we’re not here to cause trouble.” Mikhail frowned.
“Right, right…” Reynolds suddenly realized, “We’re here to support Azure Dragon, where is he?”
“Not to support; it’s to act according to circumstances,” Mikhail emphasized. Seeing Reynolds’ dismissive attitude, he helplessly said:
“Ordinary mbers need to co here to join; council seat mbers naturally don’t. They should appear later via virtual projection.”
“I see, then I’ll give him a surprise later,” Reynolds muttered to himself.
“Surprise? What are you planning?” Mikhail looked suspiciously.
“Nothing,” Reynolds shook his head again. Mikhail frowned at him, reminding, “Rember, we’re not here to cause trouble, there are too many people here.”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry, stop nagging,” Reynolds waved impatiently, a flash of electricity fleeting in his chanical pupils.
In the distance, the screen of a staff mber’s smart terminal suddenly flickered.
