"Now, you have no enemies left."

"You can answer my question now."

Bai Lu truly did what she said she would do, and she did it very easily, without breaking a sweat.

The demigod's senses swept over the white deer.

But nothing was scanned.

The moment I touched the creature in front of me, my senses shattered completely.

A sense of fear and powerlessness rose in the demigod's heart as he looked at the creature before him.

"Ah, Hongxian."

"Everyone comes here because of his record; I really don't know how attractive that record is."

This creature speaks with such arrogance.

"The Hongxian you're looking for is long dead. What you're looking for is probably the record he left behind, but that record is no longer in our hands."

"The records were taken away by the Red Worm Empire some time ago."

At this point, the demigod gritted his teeth, showing intense hatred: "We originally agreed that as long as we handed over the records, we wouldn't be wiped out."

"But after obtaining the records, they suddenly turned on us, changed their attitude, and gathered a large army, wanting to completely exterminate our race."

"Our race is too weak to deal with them at all."

"Looking back now, the reason they suggested handing over the records in exchange for not killing us was probably because they were afraid we would rather die than surrender, that we would destroy the records and die with them."

"You didn't sign a contract?"

"Heh, the Red Worm Empire made a pact with us, but it wasn't the Red Worm Empire that attacked us..."

"Yes, it's not called the Red Worm Empire."

"Actually, we all know that there is no difference at all."

Bai Lu thought to herself, "They've exploited a loophole in the contract."

Early contracts often contained loopholes in their wordplay. The perfect contract was a skill that only a select few could master in the Fantasy Realm.

Those who haven't mastered the perfect contract are very likely to suffer losses when making contracts.

This even led to the emergence of a research field called "Contract Techniques".

How to formulate a standardized and effective contract, how to leave loopholes for yourself in a contract, and how to make others suffer losses in a contract—these are all essential courses in the art of contract.

The ultimate pinnacle of the art of contracts is the perfect contract.

Until everyone in later generations learns the perfect law of contracts, there will be no room for loopholes in contracts.

The demigod wiped away the pebbles that had spilled from the corner of his eye.

It was the only hope for the entire race, but after completing its advancement, it also discovered that it was simply not able to help the race overcome this crisis on its own!

If it weren't for the appearance of the white deer.

Even if he fought with all his might, he couldn't save its race!

"You saved this place, I am very grateful to you."

"I apologize for my rudeness just now, but I have nothing to offer in return."

Hearing the description of this creature, the white deer couldn't help but feel a little sad.

It's the same everywhere, full of deceit and treachery.

"Alright, I don't need anything in return."

This place is so poor that it's practically deserted and desolate; you'd get more resources by going to the next dungeon yourself.

Expecting it to bring rewards is pointless.

More importantly, she wanted the clue she needed, so Bai Lu continued, "So, the empire you mentioned..."

"Where should we go to find it?"

Upon hearing the white deer's question, the creature before it appeared somewhat alarmed: "Why are you asking these questions?"

Bai Lu replied naturally, "Of course, we'll get the records back."

"But since you lost it, it should belong to me now that I've taken it back. In return, I can help you destroy the empire you're talking about."

This woman really just spouts whatever comes to mind!

The demigod asked, "Do you know just how vast the Red Worm Empire truly is?"

"It's a vast empire that covers thousands of star systems!"

"Compared to it, our race is only the tip of the iceberg."

Are you going to fight them?

The white deer listened to its description and pondered it carefully.

I wonder if I really did make a big boast.

Indeed, these people in the real world seem very weak.

But the universe is so vast, whether there are sufficiently powerful beings or even stronger combat forces remains unknown.

He casually claimed he could destroy that empire.

That's a bit arrogant and conceited.

So he changed his tune and said, "Emmm...then I'll do my best?"

The creature before them fell completely silent.

To do everything in one's power to destroy a vast empire?

How could you say something like that?

However, in its view, the white deer's strength was indeed formidable enough to be beyond its comprehension, even though the words it uttered were absurd.

Yet, surprisingly, it feels reasonable.

"Yes... I'm sorry, I offended you."

The white deer could tell that this was its personality—offensive and impatient.

I didn't pay much attention to it.

The white deer had already restrained its aura, which was why the person in front of it could speak so passionately. If the white deer had released even a little more of its aura, it probably wouldn't have been able to open its mouth at all.

Actually, Bai Lu has another option.

That is a threat.

There's no need to promise anything about destroying the Red Worm Empire.

If you threaten them that they won't reveal the whereabouts of the Red Worm Empire, you'll wipe out their entire race...

This is another way of communicating.

However, Bai Lu ultimately chose the kinder option.

Um……

This kindness, however, is cruelty toward the Red Worm Empire.

But whatever, the strong have the right to decide their own actions, don't they?

"This is not something I can decide. The Red Worm Empire only exists in legends; none of us have actually seen it."

"The route to the Red Worm Empire should only be known to the Great Chieftain."

Hello—

You have such an "advanced" technological civilization.

But the wording refers to the Great Chief.

It's like a primitive tribe; at least call them something like "President" or "Chief."

"Can you take me to see him?"

The creature before him hesitated, emanating a sense of purpose as it searched for some existence within the universe.

The white deer was fully aware of everything it did.

They even know who it contacted.

Not far away, on a small meteorite, which, despite being small, had an extremely sophisticated defensive and protective barrier, stood an old man with red hair and beard.

It seems to be the Great Chief it was referring to.

After a brief mental exchange, the creature in front of him said to the white deer, "The Great Chieftain says you can go see him."

"I'll take you there."

With that, he flew toward the direction where the Great Chief was.

Taking a powerful stranger to the supreme leader of one's own race is far too risky.

But if this being is truly that powerful.

Perhaps, even if we try to stop it, it won't make a difference.

It could sense that although all the enemies had been destroyed, none of its people on the various meteorites had died as a result.

That's incredibly precise control.

If this suddenly appearing creature wanted to destroy its own race, it would probably do so with ease.

Bai Lu did not take any initiative.

Instead, it flew alongside the creature in front of it, its speed being rather underwhelming.

It took about half an hour to fly to the so-called location of the Great Chief, which was exactly the place it had just sensed and searched for.

If the white deer moves on its own, it should arrive in an instant.

On this small meteorite is an unremarkable stone building constructed from reddish meteorite.

Upon entering the building, one encounters the elderly man one had just sensed.

The demigod who had led the way was waiting outside the door.

The old man was rummaging through something on a shelf.

It did not turn around, but spoke to the white deer.

"Just now, the entire fleet of the Red Worm Empire evaporated in an instant."

“Hong Chi said, you did all of this.”

Bai Lu naturally wouldn't deny it: "Yes, it's me."

"Welcome, adventurer from afar."

Upon hearing the other party's opening remarks, Bai Lu couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Bai Lu had heard this type of opening line countless times. It seemed to be the same tune whenever she found a village chief or similar character in the fantasy world to accept a quest.

Now, back in the real world, it seems we still can't escape it.

What's the difference between getting a quest from the chief and getting a quest from the village chief?

Bai Lu cut to the chase and said, "Could you tell me the way to the Red Worm Empire?"

As Bai Lu said those words, a thought involuntarily crossed her mind: "Am I not an NPC myself?"

I don't know how many times I've repeated this sentence while doing tasks.

"Could you tell me the way to xxx?"

The universe is so vast that it has no coordinates.

Finding an empire that sounds "vast" is like finding a needle in a haystack. The size of an empire that rules over thousands of star systems is still immeasurable compared to a complete universe.

"Hongchi has already told me about the situation."

"You're here to find Hong-hyun's records too."

Bai Lu has once again completely concealed her aura. Now, Bai Lu has complete control over the release and concealment of her aura.

When completely concealed, it cannot even be sensed by others.

Bai Lu can even conceal her aura to the point of being indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person.

"right."

"It's not just about finding records, it's about destroying the Red Worm Empire."

"The Red Worm Empire lives by invasion, and by now it has wiped out hundreds of civilizations like ours."

"No one has ever dared to say they could destroy this empire."

As he spoke, he took a crystal from the shelf.

"This is a star map that records the route to the Red Worm Empire."

"If you can do it, then go."

"If you really get Hongxian's records, you don't have to return them to us. If you can't destroy the Red Worm Empire, it doesn't matter either."

"If it weren't for your help today, we might not have been able to overcome this difficulty."

The chieftain's words came from the heart, after all, their entire race only had one demigod.

It's hard to say whether that one demigod could have taken down so many starships.

And given its speed...

By the time it finishes killing them one by one, the entire tribe will probably be wiped out.

“Strong one, our race owes you a debt of gratitude that this single record of the Red Sage is not enough to repay.”

"If there is any need for our clan in the future, please let us know."

The chief's words were mostly just polite formalities.

Where would an entity capable of destroying the Red Worm Empire need such a small race?
