Chapter 2982 The Final Battle Has Not Begun Yet

There was grief on Ding Lingdang’s face.

However, when she saw the information transmitted through the ‘Speaker’s Special Line’ on her crystal processor, her face suddenly changed. She regained the seriousness and capability of the Speaker of Parliament.

Their eyes collided in midair, producing dazzling sparks. Obviously, the message sent to Li Yao through Xiao Ming’s intelligence network and the message sent to Ding Lingdang through the federal intelligence network

pointed to the same thing.

There was news about Lu Qingchen.

Today, the federation, the imperium, and the Sanctuary Alliance were barely stable. Lu Qingchen was the last unstable factor in the Pangu Universe.

Other than the life forms that he could hack into the Spiritual Nexus, the crystal processors, and even the human brain at his will, the five supreme fortresses that he took away were the ultimate weapons that the

Sanctuary Alliance had built up with thousands of years of resources.

The combat ability of the five supreme fortresses was at least equal to that of a main fleet. They boasted amazing damage. Although they were not enough to achieve any strategic goals, it was not a problem for them to

cause mutual destruction.

Besides, the continuous combat of the five supreme fortresses required a lot of logistic support. In other words, if Lu Qingchen did not want to see them turn into a pile of scrap iron, he would certainly cause a great

mess before the fuel, food, and ammunition ran out.

tt was not a trivial matter. It seemed that Xiao Ming and the intelligence network of the federation had assessed the seriousness of the situation and reported it to them as soon as they received the news.

Li Yao and Ding Lingdang looked at each other. They were no longer in the mood to fight for the Great Dao. Therefore, they returned to the temporary base of the federal expedition army at the edge of the Empyreal

Terminus Sector and jumped to a dark, desolate space zone close to it without any rest.

The dark space zone, which was extremely short of resources, was actually the starting point for the ‘Fuxi Fleet’ to jump into the Empyreal Terminus Sector and attack the imperial capital.

ight now, the place had been defined as a brand-new, independent Sector known as the ‘Three-Way Sector”. It had become a public area jointly managed by the federation, the imperium, and the Sanctuary Alliance. It

was dedicated to the cooperation and communication of the three parties. All the high-end interplanetary meetings had been arranged in this place.

The reason why they chose such a barren place was simple, too. Since it was far away from the stars and most of the celestial bodies in the universe, the radiation of various kinds rarely affected it. There was not even a

drop of spiritual energy that could be absorbed in the boundless space. Therefore, it was very difficult for the forces to ambush the army there for a long time.

if a conflict broke out in this place, they could only rely on the crystals and ammunition that they carried. It was like lighting a torch in a sealed space. Very soon, the oxygen would run out, and the fire would be

extinguished.

Building the place into a public area managed by three parties was quite ‘safe’ for the purpose of ‘peace and development.

At this moment, a super-large star fortress, or rather, a super-large metropolis, was being built in the darkness. No, because it was not equipped with too many weapons, it was about to burst into glamorous brilliance.

By then, it would be the headquarters of the ‘Council for Armistice’, responsible for coordinating the relationship between the three parties, ensuring the transparency of training and armaments, and even promoting

the disarmament and the exchange of cutting-edge technologies.

n the distant future, the ‘Council for Armistice’ would be gradually reorganized into the ‘Tax and Trade Union’. While maintaining the independence of all parties, they would explore the new way of unification of the

human civilization.

Of course, that was for later.

At this moment, the metropolis was still under construction. It was quite shabby and did not even have a name.

But almost all the experts of the Pangu Universe had been attracted to this place to participate in the crucial secret meeting.

Looking at the name list that had just been sent over, Li Yao was deep in thought.

The emergency meeting regarding the ‘capture of Lu Qingchen’ was initiated by Li Linghai, the queen mother of the Imperium of True Human Beings and the president of the ‘Empire Reform Committee’.

She had invited almost all the well-known experts in the Pangu Universe, regardless of whether they were from the imperium, the federation, or the Sanctuary Alliance. The experts had gladly attended the meeting,

too.

tt was quite odd.

Firstly, according to Li Yao’s understanding of Li Linghai, his foster father’s old lover was definitely not a selfless ‘interstellarist’. Although she was determined to revolutionize the imperium, she was a selfish Immortal

Cultivator after all and would definitely prioritize the interests of herself and the imperium.

Lu Qingchen had become a drowning dog, and he knew a lot of secrets about the federation. There were also a lot of secrets about the Sanctuary Alliance on the five supreme fortresses.

f it were as simple as hunting down Lu Qingchen, Li Linghai would definitely have left the federation and the Sanctuary Alliance behind and led the army of the Star Ocean Imperium on his own. It would be best if he

could capture Lu Qingchen and the five supreme fortresses in secret, so that he could get a lot of secrets of the federation and the Sanctuary Alliance and increase his bargaining chips.

Lu Qingchen was a stray dog. No matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to resist all the Immortal Cultivators of the imperium.

But right now, Li Linghai had taken the initiative to leak the news of Lu Qingchen’s discovery to the Star Glory Federation and the Sanctuary Alliance. It was definitely not because she had suddenly become kind and

generous. It could only mean one thing—she was in trouble. The Star Ocean Imperium alone was not enough to deal with Lu Qingchen.

As far as the federation and the Sanctuary Alliance were concerned, there were countless troubles that needed to be dealt with in the surging new era. It was unlikely that they would go all out just for Lu Qingchen.

However, many experts and leadership of the federation, including Jin Xinyue, Bai Kaixin, the Fire Ant King, and Peng Hai, had come to the Three Roads Sector.

it must be noted that, although the three parties had ended the war, the relationship between the two parties was still delicate. Many remaining members of the four major families, who had nowhere else to run, and

the extremists of the Immortal Cultivators were all waiting for an opportunity to break the fragile peace. It was quite risky to come to the Three Roads Sector at this moment.

Li Yao believed that, at the very least, Jin Xinyue was a person who valued her life. She would not risk her life without enough benefits.

tt meant that Li Linghai had offered irresistible conditions in order to attract all the experts of the Pangu Universe.

Or, worse still, the damage that Lu Qingchen was going to cause might endanger the entire Pangu Universe and ruin everyone’s hard work. Therefore, everybody had to gather and resolve the last trouble!

Beside Li Yao, Ding Lingdang had just finished reading the briefing sent by the Speaker of Parliament’s office, too, but she was not relieved at all.

“It seems that the real final battle is not over yet.”

Looking at the interstellar metropolis that was getting closer and closer and the darkness behind the metropolis that looked like a bloody mouth, she mumbled, “It hasn’t even started yet…”

The shuttle landed slowly in the No. 1 dock that had not been completed yet.

Since the interstellar metropolis had only just been built, not even a formal meeting room had been established yet. Therefore, a temporary office was arranged next to the No. 1 dock, which was indicative of Li

Linghai’s eagerness.

A large batch of experts had arrived in advance. They gathered together and whispered to each other. In the tense and solemn atmosphere, there seemed to be undercurrents.

As Li Yao and Ding Lingdang’s shuttle gradually landed, all the experts were greatly interested and gathered around.

Ding Lingdang was still the Speaker of Parliament. However casual she was, there were certain rules.

Right now, Li Yao did not have any official posts. Or rather, he had too many posts and titles. There were too many of them from the federation, the imperium, and even the Sanctuary Alliance. They were in conflict

with each other and did not care about anything else. He simply walked down the stairs and grinned at his family and friends.

“Li Yao!”

People from the federal department, including Peng Hai, the Fire Ant King, and the director of the Department of Mysteries, all came up and hugged him warmly.

“Master!”

Jin Xinyue and Wu Mayan bowed to him dutifully.

“You are finally back. You seem… stronger!”

Yan Liren, the ‘Sword Addict’, touched his short sword not far away and nodded at Li Yao.

“Black Wind King!”

The people of the Star Ocean Imperium, including ‘God of War’ Lei Chenghu, greeted him with complicated feelings. Although they all knew that he was from the federation and did not know what to say about his

personality or his suggestions, he was indeed the greatest contributor to the war and had benefited a lot from the collapse of the Fuxi Clan. There was nothing they could do about it. He was just that strong.

Immortal Cultivators respected capability more than anything else. No matter how shameless they were, they could do nothing about it.

Behind the important ministers of the imperium, Li Jialing looked at Li Yao gratefully and nodded at him.

There was no need to say anything.

Even if he was the emperor of the imperium, even if he was the golden lion, even if he had sworn to surpass Black Star Emperor Wu Yingqi and become the greatest genius of his generation, he would always be Li Yao’s

good brother.

“Dad!”

Xiao Ming and Wen Wen both lunged at Li Yao. Countless spiritual puppets made of iron and steel greeted him under the control of the boxing champion.

There was no need to mention Xiao Ming, but Li Yao did not expect that even Wen Wen would come close to her body of flesh and blood. He was overjoyed and increased his evaluation of the seriousness of the

situation.

Looking at the heroes everywhere and the heroes of the entire Pangu Universe who were all gazing at him in awe and admiration, Li Yao’s vanity was greatly satisfied. He felt that he had never thought that he would

have such a day.

However, such vanity was soon buried deep inside his heart.

After all, he was a very low-key, reserved, and mature person. He knew that the situation was serious, so he hastily calmed himself down and started studying the subtle atmosphere between everyone..
