This is really not mechanical ascension

"Let's do it this way." Li Ming feigned sharply: "The Star Alliance mainly excludes the five council civilizations, as for other civilizations, they are not included."

Speaking of this, he jokingly said: "After all, we are all oppressed,"

Initially, Gusta had no reaction, but upon hearing this sentence, his expression suddenly became suspicious and uncertain.

Was he still going to win over this batch of civilizations?

He suddenly realized that excluding the three civilizations isn't just a simple act of mutual revenge.

In the interstellar space, it's not just the three civilizations; smaller civilizations like grains of sand constitute the majority of the interstellar alliance.

Among them, it is not uncommon for entire civilizations to nurture X Level Life Forms.

But their situation is far worse than the wild X Level Life Forms, equally suffering from the exploitation of the three major civilizations.

This group of people could still form a joint organization, and if push comes to shove, could run away.

But these civilizations have nowhere to run, becoming food for more powerful civilizations.

And now, some clever people have realized they could leverage the bond with X Level Life Forms to stir the power of the High-level Life Form Union.

Ordinary seats also have voting rights, which means, as long as enough X Level Life Forms are tucked in, they could influence final decisions on certain matters.

Moreover, the joining X Level Life Forms could in turn leverage those civilizations' powers, complementing each other.

There's also the hidden twist!

Gusta's pupils slightly contracted; at this meeting, any action Azure Dragon takes, he could just about guess the purpose.

But it wasn't until this moment that he reacted to this.

He wasn't the only one aware of this; Anatoli, Anduin, and others also suddenly realized.

In the past, they were used to fighting alone, and now they aren't accustomed to the existence of joint organizations, while Azure Dragon's vision is already far ahead, aiming to bring more civilizations into the fold.

The representative of the Light Wing Civilization heard the remark, his expression subtly shifting, and he slowly said: "I understand."

On the oversight seat, many civilization representatives had already fallen into contemplation, even itching to act.

Li Ming looked around and couldn't help but sigh; as a great figure from the past said, you need to make as many friends as possible.

......

"A bunch of fools!"

In the joint command ship, Heins was still roaring, "Can't they see that Azure Dragon is using them to distract our energy?"

"He is clearly trying to delay time, and that group of bastards is being used as cannon fodder by Azure Dragon, truly an entirely ignorant bunch."

Soldiers all around were silent as Schmidt glanced at him indifferently, "I dare to bet that everyone attending the meeting knows exactly what Azure Dragon is doing."

"Everyone knows?" Heins's expression was sinister, "Since everyone knows and still goes along with Azure Dragon, then they are a bunch of arrogant fools!"

"Hehe..." Schmidt sneered, "It's just a mutual exploitation scene."

"Azure Dragon is using those people to restrain our energy, while the High-level Life Form Union is also using Azure Dragon, gradually excluding our influence."

"Haven't you noticed? Azure Dragon is supported because everything he does achieves a win-win outcome."

As Schmidt continued, his face grew increasingly solemn, "We want to suppress the High-level Life Form Union, to tread Anduin and others underfoot, then he helps Anduin and others, cutting off our access, and even gives ordinary members voting rights."

"And all the pressure is on him, others just need to nod, so who would resist him?"

As Nokes and others listened, a chilling sense of unease sprouted within them.

This kind of enemy was terrifying. Putting themselves in his shoes, if they weren't one of the three civilizations, they would certainly not oppose Azure Dragon.

Costate sighed, there's friendship in win-win, and the more win-win outcomes, the more friends.

They also want win-win, but the problem is they can't suppress Azure Dragon by helping the High-level Union; it's a deadlock.

Azure Dragon found this deadlock and twisted more deadlock nearby.

"They win-win? And what about us, must we swallow our anger?" Heins stared at the two, "This failure is on you and your indecisiveness; let me say it again, dealing with these people requires harsh tactics to let them know pain, know fear."

Costate frowned; he always resisted the idea of direct action, fearing a single misstep would trigger widespread consequences.

Schmidt was also hesitant; having failed to act before, it's more difficult now with the High-level Union subtly coalescing.

However, he didn't hesitate for long, a deputy beside him handed over the intelligent terminal as well.

Upon just a brief glance, his face dramatically changed, and he shouted fiercely: "Looking for death!"

Costate's brow furrowed, not knowing what unexpected event had occurred, but his secretary also handed over a piece of urgent intelligence.

Within ten minutes after the recent routine meeting of the High-level Life Form Union ended, its membership surged past one hundred.

Thirteen of them all come from the Sea of Stars, members of the Star Alliance's civilizations.

Things are really going to turn chaotic!

Click--

The intelligent terminal in Costate's hand shattered, his face dark, having forgotten about this.

Apart from those high-level life forms, many civilizations occupying high positions in the food chain are also their potential opponents.

And Azure Dragon realized this point, expelling the people of three civilizations, and did not prohibit this group.

If continued to be let loose, let alone tackling Azure Dragon, this group of guys is already enough for them to sweat.

"Knock the mountain to shake the tiger!" he spat out four words: "Can't allow this to continue."

"Kill a chicken to scare the monkey!" Schmidt also raised his head, deliberately and slowly, his face sinister, "While they aren't truly united, break their backbone!"

Heins merely scoffed; it's sure that pain needs to be felt, only then will fear arise.

Though violence is crude, it's also the most effective.

Outside the porthole, the dispersing started as high-level life forms gradually left.

Costate and others cannot act now; they must report to leader level.

Also, they need to carefully select targets and formulate plans to achieve the best results.

...

Meanwhile, at the Takanbaya Interstellar Volcano, scarlet lava waterfalls were spewing from the fractured void into the vacuum, boiling plasma scorching crevices on the surrounding Star Ring.

Those pillars of fire carrying Energy Crystals emitted extremely high temperatures, creating hexagonal spots on the shields of exploration ships daringly venturing nearby.

From the stellar-sized volcano mouth, anti-matter smoke was continually emanating, and these charged particles clashed with stellar winds creating the aurora screen, flashing with the bizarre scene born from the fusion of various colors.

Atop the grandest volcano mouth, massless dark matter hung like a falling curtain, forming particle crystals under the high temperature surrounding it.

Many expedition teams risked their lives to obtain such precious treasures.

At this moment, in the core area of the volcano, a highly advanced shuttle-shaped spaceship was present.

In a room deep inside the spaceship, virtual projections gradually diffused, Clarkson's face was filled with emotion, "He really is something, Azure Dragon..."

"He retaliated against the three civilizations, weakened their influence inside the organization, won hearts, and drew more civilizations and forces together."

This was not just targeting two birds with one stone, but several.

"However, the most formidable thing is silently influencing the results of council seat challenges." He clicked his tongue inwardly.

With the momentum of a grand victory, Azure Dragon could accomplish so many things; if it was just a regular meeting, it likely wouldn't achieve so many results.

The proposal to allow ordinary council seats to vote might pass, but excluding the three civilizations from joining might not get much agreement.

He pondered: "However, next to my civilization it's quite beneficial, because we haven't joined the Star Alliance all along, facing much exclusion; this time we found a way, as many Star Alliance member civilizations raising their X Level Life Forms have joined..."

He didn't think too long before his subordinate's report interrupted him, a voice so deep it was punctuated by electromagnetic fluctuations came through the channel, "General, Bertrand's ship has been located."

Upon hearing this sentence, Clarkson's face turned solemn.
