Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 523 - 302: Betrayal is already inevitable

Shen Shi walked to his predetermined position under countless gazes, calmly taking away the relic device that was neither useful nor useless.

Then returned the same way.

The entire process had a clear purpose, and the mid-route attack seemed to have caused him no disturbance.

In the face of insufficient information, the other civilizations could not analyze whether this was an intentional demonstration or simply just to retrieve the relic.

But regardless, one thing was quite clear.

The mysterious Human Interstellar Empire possesses strength far beyond their expectations.

This was the Fantasy Legion!

Although it was vastly different from the Fantasy Legion owned by the Pasture Master, it was fundamentally identical. Even in the Mude System, only the Pasture Master possessed the technology of the Fantasy Legion; this was the foundation for the Pasture Master to control the entire Mude System, able to herd countless civilizations, countless intelligent lives!

Now a second one has appeared!

If this new one appeared in the Mude System, wouldn’t he directly have the qualification to challenge the Pasture Master, even replace him?

Because of this, elevating the strength of the Human Interstellar Empire by any degree is not considered excessive.

Thus, when these civilizations had already organized their legions, just waiting for the order to fully invade, suddenly they dared not act.

Because the Person status of the Human Interstellar Empire had exceeded the limit they could handle.

What they could do now was to quickly relay this news, letting the entire Thousand Alliance handle it.

But according to the current progress, when that time comes, I’m afraid the entire Xisoke Civilization will have been taken away entirely by this civilization, its whereabouts unknown.

The scene was thus petrified.

As if no one could foresee the future trajectory.

Yet Shen Shi could see clearly from the future historical changes.

His action did indeed shock these civilizations, making them hesitate to act rashly, but after the Xisoke Civilization had already migrated mostly, they eventually still made some attempted attacks, causing the Xisoke Civilization to suffer losses and seemingly exposing some of the Human Interstellar Empire’s strength.

Therefore, Shen Shi needed to further act.

And he had long been prepared.

"Let the Xisoke Civilization send representatives to the Lilianya Civilization to seek their refuge."

Yes, Shen Shi had not forgotten his goal of this trip, which was focused on the Lilianya Civilization.

Although little was exposed earlier, it had already shown incredibly strong personal strength.

It was a half-open secret among these civilizations regarding the Lilianya Civilization’s admiration for the Pasture Master. After Shen Shi demonstrated such strength, it was not unusual for the Xisoke Civilization to actively send people to seek support or even propose allegiance.

There shouldn’t be any extra implications resulting from this.

And the outcome was as Shen Shi expected.

The people secretly sent by the Xisoke Civilization were warmly received, and Lilianya Civilization internally held a deep interest in Shen Shi, even the entire Human Interstellar Empire.

Though immediate allegiance couldn’t be expected, they indeed showed this tendency—as long as Human Civilization proved sufficiently strong.

So, once more, the matter returned to Shen Shi.

"You want me to demonstrate strength?" Shen Shi glanced at Silla who was invited here, chuckled twice, "If it enhances the Empire’s interests, naturally I have no objections, but are you sure this is the Lilianya Civilization’s own intention?"

"..." Silla’s emotions turned shocked at that moment.

"You’re aware of the cultural characteristics of the Lilianya Civilization, I’m aware, and the other civilizations are equally aware." Shen Shi said slowly, "That’s the issue. While I let you try contacting them, I actually didn’t expect Lilianya Civilization to consent outright; after all, cultural characteristics are ultimately just cultural characteristics. Civilization decisions are primarily based on interest. If nothing goes awry, Lilianya Civilization is now loose but tight inside, and has long been pinned down by the other civilizations. Reluctantly, they can only comply under the pull of interests."

Silla understood.

Ultimately, the problem was the lack of intelligence.

Due to the continuous migrations now, the strength of the Xisoke Civilization in this Star Domain was continuously decreasing, and interest relations were likewise decreasing. Many past intelligence sources were now losing effectiveness, resulting in increasingly lesser intelligence available.

Directly affecting the accuracy of calculations.

But...

Silla deeply looked at Shen Shi before her.

The Human Interstellar Empire indeed was extremely mysterious, and seemingly well prepared for this Star System, even for the entire Thousand Alliance, surprisingly possessing plenty of intelligence that even the Xisoke Civilization was unaware of.

In this Interstellar World, the primary reflection of strength is technology, and the second is intelligence.

If one civilization can comprehensively monitor another civilization without it being aware, understanding all intelligence, it can be fundamentally determined that there’s absolute disparity in strength between the two civilizations, meaning that the monitored civilization cannot be a match for the monitoring civilization without third-party intervention.
