Chapter 522: Agent of the Stellar Empire
Chapter 522: Agent of the Stellar Empire
"Master, the Blue Song Civilization has arrived. It seems they are here to probe our capabilities," Black Hand reported.
"Hmm, you handle it." Qin Muye didn’t even lift his head; this wasn’t a significant matter.
The Blue Song Civilization was at most 7th Tier, not a big deal.
"Their presence is overwhelming. They are here to probe us, it’s likely the Stellar Empire’s idea," Black Hand handed a report to Qin Muye.
Qin Muye glanced at it. The so-called Blue Song Civilization was essentially a lackey of the Stellar Empire, and their purpose was clearly to start with courtesy and then resort to force, aiming to make Qin Muye, who suddenly appeared, submit.
As for how they found the Endless Abyss hidden in the universe, Qin Muye didn’t plan to investigate. If they really couldn’t find it, that would be a problem.
And who leaked his information, Qin Muye had a good idea. It was most likely the Heavenly Demon God, and less likely the True Dragon Heavenly Son.
Because from the intelligence, Qin Muye knew that the Heavenly Demon God was a white glove of the Stellar Empire, naturally able to see the chat channel situation. They would likely continue to investigate how many divine artifacts Qin Muye had sold to the True Dragon Heavenly Son.
Divine artifacts, even in an 8th Tier server, were not abundant. At least A-level Transcenders could possess them, which was 6th Tier.
Lords had more, because they relied on the Era of the Lords, which provided them with these things.
"Probing? Let them probe. It’s a good opportunity for me to demonstrate my strength," Qin Muye was completely unconcerned.
He was a newcomer, and the other side would definitely not take Qin Muye seriously. After all, there were precedents, three of them.
After learning that Qin Muye was also 7th Tier, they likely wouldn’t take him seriously. For the Stellar Civilization, a 7th Tier was considered a weakling.
So, Qin Muye had to make them realize he wasn’t 7th Tier, but 8th Tier, capable of sitting on equal footing with them.
Otherwise, how could he conduct military business, how to carry out external infiltration and intelligence gathering?
The way to show strength was definitely to make an example out of a chicken to warn the monkeys. The monkeys were the three major forces in the Shining Universe Server, and the chicken could only be this Blue Song Civilization that had blundered into him.
"After that, I will directly provoke the other side, making the Blue Song Civilization move first," Black Hand knew. Since they couldn’t overpower, they definitely couldn’t give them a handle.
"No need for that. Since they are probing, we can just find a reason to stall. For example, after they finish chatting, we ‘lose’ a monster," Qin Muye suggested.
"Then, we will crush the Blue Song Civilization. When the Stellar Empire can’t sit still, they will send an 8th Tier to overpower. Then I will capture them and take over all of the Blue Song Civilization’s territories. Later, we can use this as leverage to negotiate military transactions with the Stellar Empire."
Qin Muye’s idea was simple. A light punch to start, a heavy punch to follow, and just shouting slogans wouldn’t work. They had to be hit hard enough to know they couldn’t provoke him, and they would settle down.
As for making a deadly enemy of the Stellar Empire?
That was even less likely. A vast empire cared not about so-called reputation but about interests, real, tangible interests.
As long as there were interests, the powers could smile and act as if there were no blood feuds. The upper echelons of the Stellar Empire wouldn’t take these things seriously.
The ones who truly cared about these things were probably just the empire’s citizens. But the upper echelons didn’t care what the citizens thought; they were the ones who mattered, not the citizens.
So, Qin Muye wasn’t worried that the Stellar Empire would go all out after being hit. Even if they did, Qin Muye wasn’t afraid. After all, he could just switch to another power. When the time was right, he could still conduct military business through smuggling, and the Stellar Empire would always have someone who liked money.
"Yes, Master, I will take care of it immediately," Black Hand understood Qin Muye’s meaning. There was no need to consider the feelings of the one being killed. The reason didn’t matter; As long as the fist was big enough, the other side would have to believe.
Once the fight started, the reason wouldn’t matter.
And what he had to do was simple: Send the monster scouts to infiltrate all the planets under the Blue Song Civilization’s control, using them as positioning points. Then, use spatial transmission to directly enter and control the central hub.
The citizens of the Blue Song Civilization’s surrender didn’t matter; as long as the upper echelons surrendered, it was fine. If the lower echelons resisted, they would be killed without mercy.
In this way, the Blue Song Civilization would seamlessly become their territory, and the Shining Stellar Empire would realize that Qin Muye is not to be provoked. After the public opinion praises, the matter will be settled.
Anyway, when the Shining Stellar Empire needs to consume resources, the upper echelons don’t care what happens to the Blue Song Civilization.
The universe itself is a dark forest, and even if an order has been established, it is only a superficial order.
Apart from the large powers like the Shining Stellar Empire and Holy Saints Sect, and the combined forces of the Alliance of All Things, there are also many small civilizations and chaotic regions. Especially in the chaotic regions, various small forces, criminals, and space pirates abound. Without sufficient strength, a normal person entering could be torn apart into countless pieces upon emergence.
Black Hand handled the matter quite confidently. Although in the stellar era, human relations haven’t changed much. It’s still the same old set.
As for the so-called Blue Song Civilization, he never took it seriously from the start. This bunch can’t even defeat the monsters from the Endless Abyss, who cultivate farming professions.
With the innate land attribute, plus being a beast-type person with a large amount of hybrid bloodline, and with divine artifacts and exclusive treasures, a 7th Tier existence can certainly penetrate defenses unless the other side has a Mythical-grade profession. Otherwise, even the monsters under Qin Muye’s command can’t break through the defenses.
The gap is definitely very obvious. Otherwise, with so many world resources invested, even a peer can’t suppress. He didn’t waste so much time and effort in vain.
"7th Tier Mechanic, and yet created a Metal Kin and an Elemental Being, but unfortunately lacks the talent to cultivate into a Spirit Energy Being."
"Tsk, a genuine oddity."
Although Qin Muye didn’t care, he still glanced at the intelligence. The Blue Song Civilization only has one 7th Tier existence, who returned from the Shining Stellar Empire and was nurtured by it. So, the Blue Song Civilization is essentially a vassal of the Shining Stellar Empire and could be peacefully incorporated into the Shining Stellar Empire at any time.
But due to the Universal Convention jointly established by the Alliance of All Things and the Holy Saints Sect, they cannot act too openly, or it would be too much trouble.
This can only be done indirectly, waiting for the right conditions to have the Blue Song Civilization propose the incorporation into the Shining Stellar Empire themselves. At that time, with a just cause, it can directly pass through the Cosmic United Court, and neither the Alliance of All Things nor the Holy Saints Sect can stop it.
This peaceful merger is beneficial to the Shining Stellar Empire as well, not only adding a dog to help bite people for proxy wars, but also preventing resistance, ensuring high citizen loyalty.
And it can introduce various talents in advance, the only downside is the time consumption, which is negligible in the cosmic scale.
After Qin Muye read the intelligence of the Blue Song Civilization simply, he understood the relationship between the two sides. As long as the peaceful evolution continues for a few hundred years, the Blue Song Civilization will become part of the Shining Stellar Empire. Qin Muye’s actions are equivalent to cutting off the Shining Stellar Empire’s potential.
The Shining Stellar Empire will definitely consider this a wasted effort, but it’s just a small piece of meat. In the peaceful merger, the Shining Stellar Empire targets not only the Blue Song Civilization but all surrounding civilizations, so it’s not a big deal.
This matter is not just the Shining Stellar Empire doing; the Alliance of All Things and the Holy Saints Sect are also involved, just with different methods.
The Alliance of All Things recruits members, like the True Dragon Heavenly Son. Conversely, the Holy Saints Sect acts more straightforwardly, directly spreading the faith and carrying out destructive strikes.
Joining the Holy Saints Sect is fine, but not joining leads to excessive faith and causes the collapse of the lower echelons. Even if they want to recover, it would take the disappearance of a generation of believers.
Qin Muye’s appearance actually didn’t cause much of a stir, because whether it’s the True Dragon Heavenly Son or the Celestial Demon God, or the so-called Great Upper Realm, they all express that Qin Muye is A-level, or 7th Tier. So, the three major forces will court him, but won’t invest too much effort.
7th Tier doesn’t make these major forces take him seriously, unless he is 8th Tier, or S-level Transcender, then he would have the qualification for these three major forces to take him seriously and invest resources.
