Chapter 166 New Key
At the Overlords' Meeting, the seven overlords gathered together, but the Empire was absent.

"What has the Vader Empire done to go crazy? Declaring war on all the overlords at the same time?"

"Seven Death Stars, dozens of Level 8 combat officers, is the Empire serious this time?"

"In name, it is a declaration of war against the seven overlords, but in reality, the empire's marching route..."

The overlords present all looked in the same direction at the same time.

The Celestial Empire is the only civilization, other than the Empire and the Republic, that has never had access to the cosmic network.

A rising star among the hegemonic civilizations, and compared to other hegemons, it is a complete soft persimmon.

The participants from the Celestial Empire's dominant civilization looked grim.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the empire had divided its troops into seven routes, six of which were only for blocking purposes.

The empire's real strategic goal is to launch a blitzkrieg against China, resolve the battle in a short period of time, and reduce the number of members of the eight hegemonic civilizations.

Once a hegemon is destroyed, the chaos in the central star field will never be stopped.

"If we choose the Celestial Empire as our target, the Empire will never succeed. The generals of our Celestial Empire will make sure that the god-level lives of the Vida Empire will never return."

The Chinese participants spoke firmly, but their confidence was clearly lacking.

At the same time, the participants from China also looked in the direction of the elders.

"At the last Overlord Meeting, the elder of the Vida Overlord Civilization seemed to be about to reach a vitality of over 10,000. I wonder if he will personally participate?"

The Chinese participants still showed their fear.

Not only the Celestial Empire, but all the civilizations present here do not want to completely break off relations with the Empire.

Including the Cyber ​​civilization and the Forest civilization that once took the initiative to attack the empire.

Since the empire dares to declare war on all overlords at the same time, it must have a trump card.

Death Star Combat System?

Or is it the legendary life of the empire's main god?

Or something else?

No civilization knew the intelligence of the Empire. The Empire was like a solid block of steel, which was completely different from the Republic, which was a leaky sieve.

The elder did not answer. He had not said a word since the meeting began.

The Grand Elder of the Republic also remained silent.

After the Celestial Empire’s hegemonic civilization asked, the attention of all the hegemonic civilizations shifted to the elders.

The elder then slowly spoke: "I already know the reason why the empire declared war this time."

"Recently, intelligence about an even older dominant civilization has emerged..."

Cosmic bubbles, great destruction, changing eras...

The elders simply chose to make the information public.

As for how the situation in the central star field will evolve after the information is made public, it is unknown.

At least it won't be worse than it is now.

As long as the war-mad Empire exists, the Central Star Region will never be stable.

Emperor Vida's enthusiasm for war has been fully revealed since the coup of Vida civilization.

"The Theory of the Uniqueness of Civilization" was written by Emperor Vida.

Emperor Vader believes that the ultimate form of civilization development is to have only one civilization in the entire universe.

The only means to achieve this goal is war.

After listening to the elder’s story, all the participants were excited.

"But what does this have to do with the Empire starting a war? The Empire is preparing to destroy all civilizations, prevent the development of life planets, and ultimately prevent the Great Destruction from coming?"

"This is outrageous. Is Emperor Vader a lunatic?"

Obviously, no civilization can accept this reason for starting a war.

"Fight aggressively. As long as we drag the war into a quagmire, the Empire will stop."

The elder sighed, the situation was out of control.

The elders used the real-time starry sky images of the cosmic network to display the route of the empire's military advance.

At this moment, the entire central star field spans an area of ​​nearly 10 billion light years.

A large number of fleets shuttled through it, and seven supergiant stars were marked in red, which were the movement trajectories of the seven Death Star combat systems.

The Death Star is about to complete a gravitational space jump through the gravitational pull of a supergiant star. Once the Death Star combat system is in place, a full-scale war will begin.

The Death Star has the ability to almost crush god-level life below level 8.

And this time, the Death Star combat system's escort fleet is no longer level 6, but has been replaced with level 8.

If you are below level 9, you will be completely defenseless against the Death Star combat system.

But if the Level 9 takes action, the Level 9 of the Empire will also be hiding in the dark and watching eagerly.

The Death Star combat system eventually became a major concern for all hegemonic civilizations.

The meeting was basically over at this point.

Participants from each hegemonic civilization withdrew from the meeting one after another.

But after all the overlords withdrew, in another conference room in the cosmic network.

The five overlords gathered together.

The Conservatives, Cyber, Forest, Deep Blue, and Abyss, five civilizations that control the cosmic network, started a small meeting.

"I propose to expand the scale of the cosmic network and enhance its strategic position."

"The forest agrees."

"Deep Blue agrees."

"Abyss agrees."

All eyes turned to Cybor.

The impact of the cosmic network on other civilizations is far less than that on silicon-based civilizations.

The cosmic network covering the central star field alone gave birth to Carol, an existence that is powerful enough to completely destroy silicon-based civilization.

If the scope of the cosmic network expands again, new Carols will inevitably be born.

Even Carol, who has disappeared for many years, may not have the possibility of returning to the cosmic network.

But without expanding the cosmic network, relying on the limited authority in their hands, they will not be able to unleash the full power of this terrifying weapon.

Not every overlord has a full 40% of the universe's network authority like Vader's old-fashioned faction.

"Syber agrees."

Finally, the Cyber ​​civilization made a decision.

Facing the empire's offensive, the cosmic network will become the last line of defense.

Level 9 life plus the cosmic network is a true strategic-level existence before true god-level life is born in the universe.

Cosmic web, it's time to continue expanding.

"Let's agree on the expansion range. My opinion is 300 billion light years."

The elder continued to speak, and his first words were a powerful bomb.

Thirty billion light years, the radius has expanded nearly four times.

The volume is sixteen times the original, although the final computing power does not reach such an exaggerated level.

But there is definitely a tenfold improvement.

"agree."

"agree."

"agree."

"agree."

It was still passed unanimously.

A tenfold increase, even if the authority numbers in the hands of the major overlords remain unchanged, is enough to rely on the cosmic network to deal with the empire's level 9 god-level life.

Decisions regarding the cosmic network have always been internal decisions of the authority-holder civilization.

As long as the authority is restricted, even if the cosmic network expands, those civilizations that do not have authority will not be able to spy on it at all.

This is the cosmic network, and this is the most powerful weapon jointly created by the overlords of this era.

"Resolution passed. Once you return, immediately activate the key authority to start the autonomous expansion of the cosmic network."

"Pay attention to analyzing the birthplace of the new key. Never let the Empire obtain the new key."
