403: Hunt down those who ascend to the heavens!

"How is the situation on your end?"

Ye Su asked directly through the pheromone network.

At this point, there was no need for greetings. After all, he had just returned from Blue Star, and taking control of the situation was the main priority.

"My Star Spirit Clan is in a bitter struggle with the Tiangong Clan,"

Lu Yiyi said;

"This struggle is intensifying, and anti-war sentiment is gradually growing within the Star Spirit Clan."

"Damn, you guys killed one of their big shots, and now you have anti-war sentiment? Is the Star Spirit Clan that abstract?"

"It's all because of the Universe Mindset—thinking that having fought enough is fine, and that everything can be resolved with interests."

Ye Su realized.

So that was it.

The Star Spirit Clan felt that having fought to this extent, their strategic goals were already achieved.

The Relic World was destroyed.

The Star Spirit Clan's path was secure.

As for the Tiangong Clan's losses—compensation, massive compensation, until the Tiangong Clan was satisfied.

Even—promising to help their clan produce another Sovereign in the future was negotiable.

In short—a full-scale Universe War must not be started.

Abstract.

Truly abstract!

"Wait, will the Tiangong Clan agree to that?" Ye Su was curious.

"The anti-war faction on our side is in contact with the anti-war faction of the Tiangong Clan. They might reach a core agreement."

Lu Yiyi responded.

Ye Su's scalp tingled.

He was truly speechless. Was this the Universe?

As long as they could maintain their subsequent status and interests, anyone in a race could be sold out, right?

That was a Sovereign.

The death of a Sovereign.

In the end, it just became a bargaining chip to be exchanged for interests at the negotiation table.

Hatred—sorry.

The Universe doesn't talk about hatred, only interests!

Of course.

The main thing was...

Nowadays, the concentration of Heavenly Will in the Universe exceeded many people's understanding.

In this situation, instead of letting the poor obtain Heavenly Will, it was better for the Great Clans to shake hands and quickly reclaim it.

Otherwise...

The exploitative nature of the Universe would be affected, and the economic cycle would have problems.

Furthermore.

After the Tiangong Clan and Star Spirit Clan ceased fire, everyone could free up their hands to mediate between the Mechanical Race and the Zerg.

Hehe.

They had mediated once before, and the Mechanical Race and Zerg were forced to cough up a lot of benefits.

If they mediated again this time, those two races would have to cough up even more.

Plus the Universe concentration.

After this war, they might not only avoid losses but even make a profit.

This was the authentic local mindset.

"So, you're in the pro-war faction, and your pressure is increasing, right?"

Ye Su said.

"Yes."

"Then there's no choice. Lu Yiyi, try to take power in the Star Spirit Clan,"

Ye Su said;

"Universe interests are deeply ingrained. To change all this, you must have enough say in the Star Spirit Clan."

"You mean I should start seizing power in the Star Spirit Clan?"

"Shouldn't you? From this perspective of interests, you'll be traded away one day too. Don't forget, you're also a bomb right now. Within the Calamity Chaos, there's something that can break the Star Spirit Clan's monopoly!"

Yes.

Starting from the first jade tablet,

Lu Yiyi had been put on the spot.

It was fine as long as this war didn't end, but once it did, the Star Spirit Clan would have to consider the impact brought by the Calamity Chaos.

And the best way to solve it once and for all was to kill Lu Yiyi!

If Lu Yiyi died,

No one would be able to enter the Calamity Chaos.

As for Lu Yiyi's backing—the Star Lord had already left, hadn't he?

Besides, only the Star Lord cared about what was in the Calamity Chaos; others really didn't.

Killing Lu Yiyi was the direction that best served the Star Spirit Clan's interests.

Lu Yiyi wasn't stupid.

She quickly realized this point.

Therefore.

She had been constantly supporting the pro-war faction.

The Universe didn't give her many choices.

Sometimes, she had no choice!

Ever since she first entered the Calamity Chaos and survived because of Ye Su.

She had no choice!

"Coming out of the Calamity Chaos intact seems to have predestined my current fate, doesn't it?"

Lu Yiyi murmured;

"Ye Su, that slash of yours ultimately couldn't protect me."

Ye Su fell silent.

On the day she was saved by Zhang Huai...

When Lu Yiyi came out of the Calamity Chaos, Ye Su had slashed her once to deceive the Universe.

Looking back now, it was quite laughable.

The Universe wouldn't care about that.

With enough interest, even a Sovereign could be sold!

This world had already become polarized.

Lu Yiyi took a deep breath and pulled herself together;

"Ye Su, what kind of power do you have at hand?"

"I need your help."

After speaking, a large amount of data was transmitted, concerning the location of a negotiation between the Star Spirit Clan and the Tiangong Clan in a special area.

"Both the Tiangong Clan and my Star Spirit Clan will dispatch an Ascension Nine to negotiate there."

"If I want to maintain the state of war, then—I need to kill them."

"And I only have one Ascension Nine on my side, so—"

Ye Su's eyes lit up.

Those negotiating were the true interest-based faction.

Then just kill them.

As long as the interest-based faction was mostly killed off.

The rest would be the pro-war faction.

This logic was naive, but effective.

Because.

The Sovereigns had all fled.

Now in the Universe, the strongest were the Ascension Nines.

If this Ascension Nine from the Star Spirit Clan was killed, then that faction would lose its voice.

Naive, yet effective!

"Send your person to me, I'll handle it!"

Ye Su said.

Maintain the war, steal the Tiangong Clan's heavy artifact.

Strike the Tiangong Clan, and use the momentum for the Yanhuang Clan's rise.

These things weren't separate; they were links in a chain.

"Fine!"

Lu Yiyi said.

Soon.

An application came through the pheromone network.

After Ye Su agreed, he sent over a set of coordinates.

The next second.

Stargate transmission.

An Ascension Nine from the Star Spirit Clan was projected directly.

Tall!

This was the first time Ye Su had looked squarely at a fully equipped Ascension Nine from a Peak Great Clan.

He was tall, a full five meters.

He was fully equipped.

equipment, mechanical battle armor, Blood Qi Heavy Armor.

Moreover, points of light representing rules flowed around his body.

That was the power of rule induction from the Ascension Technique.

Indeed.

An existence like an Ascension Nine was very, very strong just to look at!

"You... are Ye Su?"

This Ascension Nine looked at Ye Su, feeling like he must be out of his mind.

Lu Yiyi actually placed her hopes on him.

An Ascension Four?

What kind of joke was this?

An Ascension Four could fight an Ascension Nine?

On what grounds?

"Yes!"

Ye Su responded;

"Follow me."

After speaking, Ye Su used the pheromone network to open a small Wormhole.

The Ascension Nine remained silent, even wanting to speak up and refuse.

Suddenly.

From deep within the Wormhole, two auras emanated.

These two auras were clearly at the Ascension Nine level.

Instantly.

This Ascension Nine became filled with respect.

The Universe was very realistic.

With two Ascension Nines backing him.

Then—this Ascension Nine from the Star Spirit Clan could also look at Ye Su squarely.

He was worthy of being looked at squarely!

After all, not just any power could have two Ascension Nines behind them!
