387: development!

The Cosmos.

The Mother Queen's promotion was still astonishing.

At the very least, amidst this great upheaval, the Mother Queen could accurately enter this node and subsequently obtain unimaginable timing.

It couldn't help but make one think of the Zerg's cunning and deep scheming.

But---there was no time for everyone to think more.

The Martial God Domain had already been breached.

The martial arts technique within that could rival the Ascension Technique was utterly intoxicating.

Everyone wanted to charge in, to observe this martial dao treasure from an even closer distance.

However---it was a flash in the pan!

The moment the Martial God Domain was breached, those few people who had rushed out from the Calamity Chaos immediately fled back inside.

And those who pursued them were also swallowed by the Chaos.

Only Lu Yiyi.

Had not yet sent news of her death.

Little did they know.

In that brief span of time.

Lu Yiyi and Ye Su had already formed the deepest of alliances.

Of course.

If you were to ask Lu Yiyi why she made this choice.

Then Lu Yiyi would answer you with a single phrase;

"If one day I become a Star Lord."

"I will part the brilliant starry river with a single thought!"

As long as you keep moving forward, it will always be better than the present situation!

---The Boundary Reduction was still continuing.

And the martial dao treasure that appeared within the Calamity Chaos, a martial dao treasure that could rival the Ascension Technique, naturally became one of the hot topics of discussion.

There were even rumors saying.

The Seven Great Apex Races had finally done something decent.

The Boundary Reduction was simply the greatest strategic maneuver of this era.

If there are martial dao treasures within the Calamity Chaos, there might be other treasures as well.

The Peak populations were itching with desire.

Ordinary people dreamed of ascending to heaven in a single step.

Because of this.

Lu Yiyi's power and influence were rapidly expanding.

It wasn't just the resource allocation brought by her position as the Overall Commander of the Border Shrinkage.

There was also her beginning to vie for a voice within the Star Spirit Clan.

Yes.

Her strength was still weak.

But her prospects were too vast!

So vast that other Ordinal Positions within the Star Spirit Clan felt their scalps go numb upon seeing Lu Yiyi.

Relying on the momentum of the Boundary Reduction.

She was rising with frantic speed.

Within the vast Star Spirit Clan, Lu Yiyi's influence had already spread to 3% of its territory.

Exceptionally terrifying!

Compared to a rising star like Lu Yiyi, who was advancing openly.

The Yanhuang Clan in the remote corner of the Cosmos was the truly frightening one.

At the beginning.

The Yanhuang Clan merely helped various clans identify Bizarre Creature spies as a means of survival.

But somehow.

Their asset inflow became extremely abnormal.

Originally, they only had a single planet as their base.

However---after just a few days.

The Yanhuang Clan had actually begun to stake out territory.

A star system spanning over one light-year was directly cordoned off.

A vast number of life-bearing planets were migrated there.

Among them, they also purchased an unimaginable number of slave populations.

Yes.

The Yanhuang Clan was developing in secret.

And this secret development was bound to create friction with the surrounding populations.

But---even if it meant friction, they had to fight.

The overarching directive from Ye Su's side had already been set.

The Yanhuang Clan was to develop comprehensively, with the initial goal of becoming a Peak race.

Therefore.

They could only forcefully push through!

---"Damn it, they're just good at seeing through the disguises of Bizarre Creatures. Do they really think they can establish a firm foothold in the Cosmos?"

"With just this little ability, they dare oppose our Blood Spring Clan?"

In the Blood Spring Star System, a man who looked like an Elder couldn't help but curse angrily.

Just a few days ago.

A border star system was suddenly cordoned off.

The Yanhuang Clan proudly declared that from then on, that borderland was their territory.

Setting up right next to the Blood Spring Clan? Good grief, do they think the Blood Spring Clan doesn't exist?

However.

Their particular skill did indeed have some merit.

Cursing aside, perhaps one day they might still need their help. So, initially, the Blood Spring Clan went to negotiate.

Yet, unexpectedly.

The Yanhuang Clan refused to listen to reason at all.

This infuriated the Blood Spring Clan.

Fight?

Then fight it is!

At this moment, the Blood Spring Clan convened a large meeting, preparing for a fight.

"What is the overall strength of the Yanhuang Clan?"

The Blood Spring Clan Chief asked.

"Their main clan members are few, only tens of millions,"

The previously cursing Elder replied;

"But they have an enormous number of slave populations. The ones that can truly be considered combat troops number in the hundreds of millions."

"As for their strongest members, there should be Ascension Five existences, likely no more than two."

Any population that could stand firm in the Cosmos necessarily had Ascension Five existences.

And for the Yanhuang Clan to suddenly become so imposing, it was likely that another Ascension Five had emerged within their clan!

Otherwise.

They wouldn't dare be so arrogant.

The Blood Spring Clan Chief, Bakshan, raised an eyebrow.

The survival of small populations like theirs absolutely could not afford to show weakness.

Because once weakness was shown, hordes of people would come to carve off a piece of flesh.

The Yanhuang Clan's provocation was already too obvious.

War was inevitable.

But, for the sake of prudence;

"Alright, Bai, you go find the Blood Garment Clan. Our two clans will join forces to take down the Yanhuang Clan."

"Preferably, don't kill too many of the Yanhuang Clan's own people. Remember, the ability to detect the true forms of Bizarre Creatures is a monopoly business in the Cosmos."

A smile appeared on Bakshan's face;

"If we enslave them, that would be a massive source of income!"

At this point.

Everyone in the Blood Spring Clan couldn't help but laugh.

Indeed.

Previously, when the Yanhuang Clan settled in the neighboring star systems, the Blood Spring Clan already had ideas.

But, well.

These business-minded folks had quite extensive connections.

If you attacked outright, you might just be playing into their hands.

Now it was different.

It was the Yanhuang Clan who provoked first.

The Blood Spring Clan was merely engaging in reasonable self-defense.

Even if someone invoked the rules of the Peak populations, the Blood Spring Clan would stand on solid ground.

So.

This was a good thing!

Afterwards.

Bai of the Blood Spring Clan went to find the Blood Garment Clan.

Blood!

In fact, its predecessor was a Great Clan, later shattered by war.

It split into several races.

Blood Spring, Blood Garment, Blood Web---and so on.

Each bloodline race dreamed of developing in the future, reunifying to become the Blood Clan of the Cosmos once more.

Bakshan gazed into the distance.

'The Yanhuang Clan might just help me fulfill this long-cherished wish!'

---The Yanhuang Clan.

Over forty life-bearing planets formed a massive population group.

As for management?

Great Xia was very experienced.

After all, didn't the Elf Clan live quite well in Great Xia back in the day?

After these slave races arrived.

Great Xia did not immediately treat them all equally.

Instead, they established a Contribution Point System.

Starting from several grades of citizenship, allowing them to rise step by step.

Ultimately, they could enjoy the same treatment as the people of Great Xia.

This was a process; they needed to be given hope.

They couldn't be made equal all at once, otherwise, with their large numbers, it would create a sense of internal competition.

In short---this complex management didn't need to trouble Ye Su or Cui Hu at all.

Great Xia had professionals handling it.

And the only way for these slave lives to obtain contribution points.

Was war.

Perfectly fair!

If you want better treatment, then stake your life to earn it.

Great Xia came up the same way in the past.

Putting themselves in others' shoes.

This was also the most acceptable method for Great Xia.

Rely on talk?

Impossible!

Only blood and glory can earn you a place on the same stage as us.
