The Zeluo people are the strongest civilization in Stellaris Council. Their society is stable and united, their race is also strong Psionics, and their military, politics, and economy are all very good.

Their civilization has the longest history of all the member countries, and they have accumulated a lot of heritage.

But they also have a shortcoming, that is, they care too much about their own civilization status. If they lead the entire civilization of Stellaris Council by example, then the overall combat effectiveness of Stellaris Council will be increased by at least 20%.

Next to the Swarm ravaged area is an area called the Scale Starfield, which contains three hundred council civilizations within a three thousand light-year area, including the Nuln giants.

This place is far away from the rich areas of the Milky Way, so the civilizations here are not united. Instead, they compete with each other for resources. Social conflicts and national conflicts are extremely sharp, making it a good place for infiltration.

Johnny changed his tone and hoped that Overmind would not attack these areas for the time being, and that he would gradually turn the Balance Star Region into Swarm's logistics base.

And he hopes to own a Hatchery, use the productivity of Swarm, and use economic invasion to start from the Nuln giants and assimilate the balance star field bit by bit.

Because of the war, the taxes Stellaris Council levied on each member country increased. Nunn giants did not want their profits to decrease, so they passed all these taxes on to their subordinate companies. The Serpent Company also faced high tax pressure.

Under Johnny's leadership, Serpent Company's revenue has increased by at least 50%, but this revenue alone is not enough to rise quickly, and the infiltration operation will be delayed, so he needs the productivity of Hatchery.

Excellent subordinates have made demands, but what else can they say? Han Xin wants to be crowned King of Qi, how can Liu Bang not grant it? Besides, this Han Xin is absolutely loyal.

"I will arrange a Hatchery for you, and I will also arrange a Swarm Node for you. She has a strong spirit, so you can report to me any situation at any time."

"It's just that I'm worried that your secret development of Hatchery in the Tianping Star Territory will be exposed and eventually be wiped out by Stellaris Council's troops." Zhang Han said worriedly.

"The risk definitely exists, but I think I can handle it well. Keeping reselling nutrient solutions will make me more exposed. The profits are too great, and many companies will be jealous."

Seeing that Overmind cared so much about himself and valued himself so much, Johnny wanted to show it off and speak out his thoughts.

"However, if I use Hatchery to process products in corresponding industries and become a part of other countries' industrial chains, let them make money with me."

"When they are jealous of my profits, I have nothing to do with Swarm, and they will frame me. But when I become a part of making money for them, even if I am really exposed, they will turn a blind eye to my identity."

"So, although the risk exists, I think it is controllable."

Zhang Han felt Johnny's determination, and he wanted to make persistent efforts to create a better situation for Swarm.

Sometimes Zhang Han also doesn't understand why Swarm's logical units are not only loyal, not afraid of life and death, but also have no selfish desires.

It can only be explained that this is the trend of thought of Swarm Network, for the unity of Swarm.

"Well, since you are so confident, I will leave the Tianping Star Territory to you. I am also preparing to unify Swarm. You can take care of the materials transported back to Hatchery. The important thing is that you have to protect yourself."

"Thank you to the great Overmind for trusting me. I will definitely live up to your expectations. Long live Overmind! Long live Swarm!"

"Well, if you control the Balance Star Territory before I unify Swarm, I will engrave your name and memory into the genes." Zhang Han remembered that Cam had said that his wish was to engrave his name into the genes.

"I... I..." Johnny was so excited that he couldn't speak fully, and he couldn't maintain his consciousness.

Zhang Han immediately interrupted Johnny's speech. Although he was used to hearing the great Overmind from Swarm, he still felt strange. Swarm is equal, and Overmind also serves Swarm.

"Stop talking and complete the task well. Swarm will live forever."

Johnny nodded solemnly and logged out of the network.

After communicating with Johnny, Zhang Han will devote all his efforts to developing Swarm and integrating the network.

When Johnny woke up from the real world, his attendants immediately came up with concern and helped him up.

"Prince, how do you feel? You suddenly fainted during your sermon, which frightened everyone."

"Hahaha, it's okay, I was just inspired by God." Johnny said excitedly, "The Snake God has affirmed our achievements. We must work harder to develop the church and expand the church to the entire balance star field to respond to God's expectations."

The attendant was very excited because of Johnny's words, and he said silently, "Praise the four-armed snake god, the four-armed snake god has a long life."

In the depths of the vast universe, at a mysterious location far away from the hyperspace lanes, a huge stone temple stands on a celestial body that is larger than an asteroid and smaller than a planet.

If you look closely, it is somewhat similar to the headquarters building of the Astrologers' Association in Gale Valley.

Teresa, wearing a purple burqa, followed her mentor and walked along the long passage to the bottom of the temple.

"Teresa, are you nervous?" her mentor asked without looking back.

Theresa pursed her lips and nodded, knowing that her state of mind was being probed, and said, "Yes, I'm very sorry, Instructor Sun Yun."

"No, I don't blame you. It's normal to be nervous..." Sun Yun paused, "Actually, I'm also nervous. You... do you still remember the purpose of bringing you here?"

"Remember, mentor." Theresa's face was full of determination under the purple mask.

"I am the descendant of sinners. The actions of sinners have affected the direction of destiny and the future of Shroud. God is very angry."

"To appease God's wrath, I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to God, giving my life and soul to appease God's wrath."

The atmosphere became heavy, and the only sound left was the sound of the two people's shoes stepping on the stone steps.

After a long time, Sun Yun said, "My child, that's not your fault. Don't blame yourself too much, and don't think that this is your fate. You are innocent."

Shroud Mentor Association is a model where mentors lead apprentices, which makes the relationship between many mentors and apprentices very deep, going beyond the ordinary friendship between master and apprentice, and even beyond love.

"I'm sorry, son. My influence in the association is too low to oppose the decisions of the Supreme Master Council."

"I... I hope you live happily, build your own family, have a happy life, and feel more of the beauty of the world, instead of just sacrificing your life."
