Chapter 579 Do you want to win?
This is a deserted place. A descendant of an X-level life form comes here to have fun?
"We have investigated the navigation report and found that their final destination is a cosmic desolate place - the Great Fell interstellar volcano. It will enter the eruption period in two months." Someone responded immediately.
Another added: "In addition, we have searched the memories of all the accompanying personnel and found that this person often brings a large number of friends and female life forms to the Jedi of the universe for fun."
"Unexpected situation?" Tandin looked suspiciously at the corpse on the ground.
"It must be an accident," Alves reminded. "There's no need to force someone to be involved. He has no way of knowing the coordinates here."
Tandin nodded hesitantly, but still said, "But with the S-class lifeforms here, it would be troublesome to continue disguising ourselves as space pirates and intercepting them."
"Simple. Isn't he going to the Jedi of the universe? Just trigger a natural disaster." Alvis said lightly.
"Afterwards, keep a close eye on Clarkson," Tandin instructed. "If he shows any abnormal behavior, report it immediately."
Everyone nodded hurriedly.
"You're too nervous." Alves glanced over.
Tan Ding's face was expressionless: "It's better to be prepared."

The Joint Operations Conference Center is a special department established by the three major civilizations for the Holy Castle and Azure Dragon.
It is used to integrate some of the resources of the three major civilizations, with Costat as the commander-in-chief, and one person each from the Covenant and the Federation as deputy commanders.
"Arrogant!" In the conference room, Federal Deputy Commander Hines threw a paper report on the table with a grim face.
Indigo's face flushed red, and he pointed at the report with his hairy hand. "Look! This is the deterrent power of the three great civilizations!"
"Over twenty interstellar corporations have provided the Mechanical King's Court with over 400 billion in interest-free loans. Over a dozen super-large armed forces have signed new contracts and even sent special envoys to the Mechanical King's Court openly..."
"No one listens to us. The Higher Life Forms Alliance is going to challenge us!"
He paced back and forth around the circular conference table, his voice so high it could penetrate the metal walls.
The many senior executives sitting on the chairs had different expressions. They had also read the report on the table and were somewhat dissatisfied.
The three major civilizations have united to take action against a certain person or force. In the past, other X-level life forms would have been in a panic and avoided it.
And now, not only are they still in contact in secret, but it is even out in the open.
"Sir Hines, there's no need to be so excited..." said Schmidt, the deputy commander of the Star Alliance, but before he finished speaking, he heard a "bang".
Hines slammed his sturdy fists on the conference table and gritted his teeth. "Am I excited? When have I ever been excited?"
"Which eye of yours saw my excitement?"
"Why should I be so excited? It's nothing more than Azure Dragon leading the United Organization of Higher Life Forms to an even match with the Federation."
"Oh, I almost forgot..." Heins paused, then roared, "Their combined power is stronger than any other civilization!"
There was dead silence in the conference room.
Hines sneered repeatedly: "When this organization was first established, I said that it must be stopped. It must be stopped. In the end, no one listened to me. Now, it's all over for everyone."
At this point, Costat's face turned grim, and he had to respond, "Sir Hines, the situation hasn't reached that point yet. There's no need to exaggerate."
"If it gets to that point, can we even sit here and have a meeting?" Hines scoffed. "We absolutely cannot allow them to continue like this now. They're losing face."
"What are you going to do?" Schmidt couldn't help but look over.
"Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!" Hines shouted decisively, "Don't they want to support us? Don't they dare to pretend to obey but actually disobey? Pick a few and kill them. Let them see if we can still use the knife!"
Upon hearing this, the senior executives present suddenly became noisy and whispered to each other, and some nodded in agreement.
Some people frowned and shook their heads repeatedly.
Schmidt remained silent. Costat frowned. "Isn't this method too radical?"
"I disagree," Schmidt agreed. "Right now, our problem is the Holy Castle and the Azure Dragon."
"The United Organization of Higher Life Forms is just a motley crowd. They've lived for so many years, but it doesn't mean they can work together just by organizing them. Qinglong can't do it either."
"They're just trying to use Azure Dragon to challenge us. If they really take action, it will only put external pressure on them and force them to unite."
"Once we defeat Qinglong, we will naturally break their backbone."
"Are you sure you can defeat Qinglong?" Hines looked indifferent.
"I agree with Mr. Schmidt's idea," Costat said, adding, "But the Higher Lifeforms United Organization will have to put some pressure on them to restrain themselves, lest they sow the seeds of disaster."
"The five-year ban on rotation of the board seat has passed, and the previously agreed-upon challenge can now begin."
Everyone then remembered that several months had actually passed.
It was just because of the incident with Qinglong and the Holy Castle that everyone's attention was focused on it, and they forgot about this matter.
The challenge agreement was made more than half a year ago and can be launched at any time.
Schmidt nodded involuntarily. "I almost forgot about this. We've already taken over all the top positions on the Council. Gustav and Anatoly are just opportunists. Sooner or later, Qinglong will be defeated, and this organization will be of no consequence."
"What do you think, Mr. Hines?" Costat asked.
"Let's make it bigger, Interstellar Live, and defeat those guys with thunderous force, trample them underfoot!" Hines' attitude was extremely explosive. "Let's see who dares to pretend to obey and disobey!"
This time, no one objected. It was time to scare them.
Costat pondered, "Next is the matter of the Holy Castle. We have captured another batch of chosen ones and are sending them from various directions. The fastest ones are expected to arrive in three months."
There was no need to worry about being discovered by others, and no one was secretly making trouble. The empire's efficiency was terrifyingly fast. Instead of catching one person, they caught a whole batch of people.
"Then we can send people in again to confirm the situation of Qinglong." Costat pondered.
"We have confirmed information that Azure Dragon's true form is not actually in the Holy Castle. He has only descended into the Holy Castle using a special method, probably a mimicking body."
"But we still need to confirm this information. We plan to isolate the external information entanglement communication methods of the Holy Castle while entering for verification."
"If that's the case, then it's simple," Schmidt said. "Without Azure Dragon's interference, the Holy Castle won't be a big problem."
"As for our next plan, we'll have to wait until this news is confirmed." Costat looked around and said solemnly, "Each holy fortress has a different structure. Previous cracking experience won't be of much use. We need to re-examine it."
"Qinglong is not an ordinary evolved form. I hope everyone will not be anxious."
Everyone nodded.

Buzz--
The smart terminal placed beside him was vibrating. Li Ming opened his eyes and looked at it. He saw that the amplitude of the smart terminal was slow and the buzzing sound was extremely long, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Li Ming made a "tsk" sound and immediately released the development state. At the moment when the time rate was synchronized, he had an inexplicable trance.
He even felt that everything in front of him was shrouded in a layer of gray fog, which was extremely uncomfortable, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"This is the time distortion effect." Li Ming looked at his hands.
This is due to the mismatch between his own space-time information and his understanding of the universe.
This effect cannot be underestimated. Currently, the time difference is relatively short and nothing can be seen.
But as the time difference becomes longer and longer, the universe will unconsciously correct this difference in perception. In the mildest case, the space-time information will be confused, half of the body will age, and the other half will be like a child. In the worst case, it will perish on the spot.
No one can resist the might of the universe.
However, with the passive ability of [Time Immunity], this perception of time difference has little impact on him.
He picked up the smart terminal and found that it was Anduin contacting him, so he answered the call immediately.
A virtual screen popped up, and Anduin's face looked a little annoyed. After seeing him, he calmed down a little. "Your Excellency Qinglong, are you still resting?"
"What else can I do?" Li Ming said calmly, "If the three major civilizations don't take action, I can't take the initiative to fight them."
"Alas..." Anduin said helplessly. "The three major civilizations are all dispatching troops to Fort Sanctuary. Unless the Covenant and the Federation fully intervene or clarify certain matters, they probably won't launch a true attack against you."
"However, the actions of the Higher Life Forms Alliance have angered them."
"Oh?" Li Ming couldn't help but look over. "What's going on? Are they going to attack the United Organization?"
"I'm not that stupid." Anduin shook his head and sighed. "If I take action now, isn't it clearly giving you a chance?"
"It's a previously agreed challenge," Anduin explained. "I just received notice that the challenge for the board seats is about to begin, and it's massive. They say it's fair, just, and open, and will even be broadcast live across the interstellar space, to the entire universe."
"Interstellar live broadcast?" Li Ming was surprised.
This matter was not originally of such a large scale and was something that could have been resolved internally. It would have been sufficient to issue an announcement afterwards.
"Yes, the three great civilizations are clearly trying to intimidate the others through us old guys." Anduin's face was grim. "I suspect they will do everything in their power to humiliate us."
While he was angry, he was helpless. Interstellar live broadcast was tantamount to losing face.
Unless you admit defeat directly or fail to show up, your face will still be trampled upon.
"Really? That's a bit too much." Li Ming's eyes flickered and he responded casually, thinking about other things.
Anduin glanced at him and sighed again.
Although this incident was caused by their secret support for Qinglong, it was not entirely due to Qinglong.
The support from the joint organization also has ulterior motives.
Qinglong is in trouble now, and we can't expect him to turn the tide.
Perhaps the three major civilizations are worried about not being able to find him and are waiting for him to fall into their trap.
This contact was nothing more than complaining and exchanging information.
Anduin warned again, "You must be careful too. The Empire has captured a large number of chosen ones. They will probably enter the Holy Citadel in the same way as last time."
"Hmm..." Li Ming remained silent, looking at Anduin and suddenly asked, "Do you want to win?"
"Win?" Anduin's heart skipped a beat. He asked cautiously, "What do you mean?"
"Literally, I'm asking you, do you want to win?" Li Ming repeated.
Anduin frowned. If it were before the StarCraft live broadcast, he would have already accepted the fact that he would be removed from the board seat.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to face the challenge at the expansion conference, it had been a long time since then.
But this interstellar live broadcast was not just embarrassing for him, it was simply trampling on his face.
Even a clay man would have some temper, let alone the Lord of the Star Gate who started fighting from the chaotic star gap.
It would be fine if he had no outlet for his anger, but Qinglong's words immediately ignited the fire in his heart.
"Do you have a solution?" Anduin asked cautiously, then emphasized, "If you show up, I'm afraid the consequences will outweigh the benefits."
"No..." Li Ming shook his head, "You just need to tell me whether you want to win or not. If you want to win, I will naturally find a way to help you."
Anduin's expression changed. The consequences behind this sentence were not small.
If he really won, how would others react, how would the three major civilizations react.
Anduin hesitated for a moment, but looking at the calm face of the Azure Dragon, he gritted his teeth and said, "Win, I must win!"
"Very good, then can you help me ask others if they want to win?" Li Ming asked again.
Anduin's heart stagnated, and his eyes suddenly shone with light.
He stood out from the crowd and was a little worried, but if others also won, the situation would be very different.
"Well, Mr. Perkins, I think Murderous should have this idea. Axel has publicly expressed his dissatisfaction several times, so he should be able to be persuaded. Senel is eager to see the world in chaos, so she will definitely agree..."
"...But the Dwarf King needs to be responsible for his own race, so I'm afraid he won't agree lightly... And..."
Anduin speculated, then said in a deep voice, "Give me a few days, and I'll give you a list."
"But..." He hesitated, "Are you sure no one will notice?"
"If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have said that." Li Ming said lightly.
What Qinglong said was still very trustworthy. Anduin nodded heavily, and couldn't help feeling a little excited.
The deterrence of the three major civilizations is a double-edged sword. If it fails to achieve the desired effect, it will be themselves who will be slapped in the face.
Moreover, once the seats they occupy are reduced, they will change from manipulators to "spectators", and their influence will be further weakened.
The virtual screen went dark, and Li Ming grinned silently. "Plans can't keep up with changes. Interstellar live broadcast... I don't know who came up with this brilliant idea, it really helped me out."
He stood up and went to the foundry, preparing to forge several control objects with secret suppressing effects.
