In the fourth dimension of the Insect Zone, many giant insects still roam. For the past ten thousand years, with the increase in the power of the Milky Way civilization, the insects have been subjected to fierce attacks, so that their numbers have not increased. If it weren't for the Insect Emperor guarding the vicinity of the Matter River, the insects in the Milky Way would have been wiped out long ago.
A Dark Shadow appeared less than two thousand light-years away from the Insect Emperor. It scanned its surroundings, then disappeared again, reappearing in a relatively dense area of insects.
" Li Shun, I know you're here. Come out," the Dark Shadow sent the message.
However, there was no movement around. Inside one of the worms was Li Shun's headquarters. Not only this worm, but tens of millions of worms around were Li Shun's bases, and many more worms were either Li Shun's people or worms under his control.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the Dark Shadow, the cunning Li Shun panicked. No one else knew where he was hiding, and the way he concealed himself was even more unexpected. Since the failure of his last operation, Li Shun knew that there was no place for him in the Milky Way.
However, Li Shun had no plans to escape the Milky Way. At Wei Kaiyuan's suggestion, Li Shun re-entered the Insect Zone, captured insects, and controlled and modified them. The interior of the giant insect became Li Shun's perfect hiding base, and the insect could also provide a continuous source of energy for the base inside his body.
Moreover, this place is close enough to the Insect Emperor that the Milky Way's fleets wouldn't dare to cause trouble here. Here, Li Shun recuperated and prepared for the final battle.
" Li Shun, if you don't come out, I'm going to make my move."
"Who are you, and what do you want with me?" Li Shun pondered for a moment. Since the Dark Shadow had accurately located him, there was no point in pretending to be deaf and dumb any longer.
"You don't need to know who I am. I'm here to make a deal with you."
"Sorry, I have no interest. If you don't leave, I'll immediately send a message to the Insect Emperor through the insects. I believe you're not capable of withstanding the Insect Emperor's wrath."
"Don't refuse so quickly, Li Shun. I know your purpose. Your purpose is the same as that of the Fish Horse Star Civilization, and I am also interested in getting a share."
"You? I don't think you have that ability."
"Don't underestimate anyone. If you hadn't underestimated Hu Yu, you wouldn't be in this situation today. You've probably already received information about Hu Yu and his forces' strength. Once the Milky Way civilization destroys the Fish Horse Star Civilization, do you think you'll still have a chance to achieve your goal?"
These words struck a nerve with Li Shun. Indeed, the rapid advancement of civilizations in the Milky Way far exceeded Li Shun's tolerance level, especially in recent years. Li Shun had even considered fleeing the Milky Way.
"Tell me, what kind of deal?"
" Li Shun, you clever man, I've intercepted a portion of the data from the Fish Horse Star Civilization's research on the central black hole of the Milky Way. I don't need to elaborate on the importance of this data. I can give it to you, but you'll need to decipher it yourselves. In fact, I haven't deciphered it myself yet."
"What?! Data on the research of the central black hole by the Fish Horse Star Civilization?!" Li Shun's eyes lit up.
"This is genuine. Deceiving you would do me no good, and I trust you are capable of verifying the authenticity of this information. Be prepared to receive it."
After the Dark Shadow finished speaking, it transmitted the data on the Fish Horse Star Civilization to Li Shun. However, it wasn't all of it. Li Shun immediately organized scientists to verify it, and sure enough, it was indeed data from the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
"Now it's time to state my conditions. They're actually quite simple. I need you to do something for the Milky Way civilization bases currently involved in the Boötes conflict. Of course, you don't need to destroy their bases; you just need to put some pressure on them and force their fleets to turn back."
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple. All you need to do is continue to interfere with the bases of these civilizations, allowing the fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization to successfully reach the Milky Way. After that, it's up to us to rely on our own strength. As for the hidden locations of the bases of these participating civilizations, I believe I don't need to tell you, right? If you can't even do this, I will consider annihilating you on the spot."
"Don't talk big. I've already guessed what you are. If you want to destroy us, you should think twice about your own strength. Hmph, we can find the bases of civilizations in the Milky Way, but we can't interfere in things in the Secondary Universe."
"You don't need to worry about the Secondary Universe; I've already arranged everything. It's been a pleasure working with you."
"Goodbye."
Gazing at the disappearing Dark Shadow in the distance, Li Shun's eyes became greedy again. He had thought that the chances had become slim and that only a desperate last-ditch effort might offer a glimmer of hope. The appearance of the Dark Shadow gave Li Shun hope again. Li Shun immediately summoned the most outstanding scientists in the civilization to decipher the technology of the Fish Horse Star Civilization.
It goes without saying how difficult it is to decipher the data of another civilization, especially the important data of a Large Star Region Top-Level Civilization; such a possibility has become extremely slim.
However, Li Shun did not give up. A giant worm led the scientists quietly into the Matter River Matter River from its entrance into the Secondary Universe. Li Shun wanted to use the time advantage here to decipher the data of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. As for the problem of getting lost in the Secondary Universe, Li Shun had already solved it during his years in the Insect Zone.
Although space in the Secondary Universe is constantly changing and flowing, Li Shun has already found a way to capture the spatial frequency of the greater universe. The spatial frequency of the greater universe is like a lighthouse in the age of navigation, which can guide Li Shun's insects or fleet to return to the greater universe smoothly.
On the other side, the leader of Yun San looked at the coordinates given by the Dark Shadow. Humans were indeed well hidden. A sinister look appeared in his eyes again. The leader of Yun San successfully carried out his action plan.
" Demon Scorpion, didn't you capture some mechanical beings?"
"Yes."
How many fleets are there?
What are you doing?
"What have you thought about what I told you last time?"
" Yun San, what you're saying is too incredible; I can't judge it."
"Unbelievable? What do you think the Fish Horse Star Civilization came here for? Demon Scorpion, I can tell you, there's more than one Fish Horse Star Civilization doing this. Our civilization's power is limited, but if we unite, our chances of success will be very high. Think about it, what is the Daozi cultivating humanity for? At the current rate of human development, will we still have a future? Let alone the future, even now, humanity has already surpassed us. This is our last chance."
"Tell us what you want us to do." The Demon Scorpion leader hesitated for a moment, then seemed to have made up his mind.
