"If there are no other items to discuss, this Overlord Meeting ends here."

As the initiator of the conference, Carol served as the host of the conference.

This is also the default rule of the Overlord Meeting: whoever initiates it presides over it.

"The Celestial Empire opposes!"

The Celestial Hegemon Civilization is still opposing it. The Celestial Hegemon Civilization is the only civilization that has nothing to do with the authority of the cosmic network.

The seven overlords didn't even look at the Celestial Empire's dominant civilization.

Weakness is the original sin. If opposition is useful, what is the use of the cosmic network?
"This Overlord Meeting ends here."

Carol announced the end of the meeting.

All the major hegemonic civilizations went offline one after another, leaving only the Celestial Empire in disarray.

After the major hegemonic civilizations went offline, only the Celestial Empire and... the Empire were left in the conference room.

"Do what you should do and don't go against the will of the Emperor."

The imperial official snorted coldly and left the meeting room.

All the overlords believed that the Celestial Empire was supported by a certain overlord and returned to the central star field to cause trouble for the empire.

No one knew that the Celestial Empire's dominant civilization was brought back to the central star field by the empire.

The information in the cosmic network and the cold snorts in the conference room cannot reveal the true relationship between the Empire and the Celestial Empire.

Even Carol didn't know that the Celestial Empire's dominant civilization was actually supported by the Empire.

The expression of the person in charge of the Celestial Overlord Civilization returned to normal.

Act like a clown in the Overlord meeting, this is the order given by Emperor Vader.

Only by appearing stupid enough and weak enough can we avoid arousing suspicion and prevent people from associating the Celestial Empire with the Empire.

This is a convenient layout of the empire, which may not necessarily come into play in the future.

But using one of the eight former overlords as a chess piece, once it plays a role, it may determine the survival of one of the overlords.

……

In outer space, Wang Fei and Carol maintained communication.

"The goal has been achieved. The next step is to collect the new keys. The more powerful the cosmic network is, the stronger our trump card will be."

Carol controls the authority of the cosmic network.

With Carol's help, the cosmic network will become Wang Fei's personal weapon.

When the civilizational foundation is not strong enough, the cosmic network can allow Wang Fei to have enough say.

"The cosmic network expansion process has begun, and the coordinates of the new key are being calculated."

Carol's idea is the same as Wang Fei's.

For Carol, the cosmic web is fundamental.

When all the key authorities are gathered, Carol will be qualified to become a main god with a vitality of over ten thousand.

At that time, Carol's dominance will no longer be limited to the cosmic network.

“Use the prompting opportunity.”

The Overlord Meeting has ended, and Wang Fei is ready to check the text box to see if there are any other arrangements for him.

According to Wang Fei's own plan, it is time to return to the Republic to absorb the divine life essence.

[You should probably follow Jadi Vida to the Empire's main planet]

What the hell?
Why is the text box given a new name?

Jadi Vida?

Who is this?

and also!

The main star of the empire?

Is that the place I should go?

Thousands of divine beasts were running wildly through my heart.

The next second, Wang Fei knew why the text box was arranged in this way.

The surrounding gravitational space suddenly became viscous.

Wang Fei's face changed drastically, level 9 life!
This is a level 9 life form that has blocked the surrounding gravitational space.

Based on the prompt in the text box, Wang Fei had already guessed it.

The person who came was probably the Jadi Vida, most likely a level 9 life form of the empire.

"Hello, Carol's spokesperson, we finally meet."

An old man with a smile on his face and countless wrinkles on his skin appeared in front of Wang Fei.

My heart skipped a beat.

When was it exposed?

Why would the Empire know his identity?
Wang Fei finally understood why the text box separated himself and Carol's real body.

If Carol's real body was with him, Wang Fei couldn't imagine what he would face next.

Pretending to be calm, "When was I exposed?"

Jiadi Vida did not hide anything and was also interested in chatting with Wang Fei for a while.

The Republic's Level 9 life forms are not nearby, and the conservative elders are still in the Alliance star field.

This operation is absolutely top secret.

"After you tried to seize the newborn key, the Empire analyzed the situation and concluded that the probability of you and Carol being involved was over 60%. After analyzing the wormhole data in Area , the Empire was able to identify you."

The Empire is no fool.

What the elders can analyze, the empire can naturally analyze as well.

The intelligence channels controlled by the empire far exceeded the imagination of the elders.

In other words, as the most powerful hegemonic civilization in the current era, the Empire's hidden strength exceeds the expectations of all civilizations.

"I see. That makes sense."

Wang Fei nodded without showing any fear.

As long as Carol's real location is not exposed, Wang Fei will be absolutely safe.

The Empire could not bear Carol's wrath.

Once the cosmic network is lost, the offensive and defensive forms between the eight overlords of the current era and the surviving overlord will change instantly.

"The Emperor invites you to the Empire's main planet."

Jadi Vida stated the purpose of this trip.

There is no conflict between the Empire and Carol, so there is no need to fight to the death.

"Lead the way."

Wang Fei's calmness was beyond Jiadi Vida's imagination.

There are two sources of calmness. One is that Carol's existence means that the overlord of the current era will never harm his life after knowing his identity.

The second is the text box.

The text box prompts that it is profitable for Wang Fei to go to the main star of the empire, and the benefits Wang Fei can obtain are even greater than returning to the Republic to absorb life essence.

If not for this, the text box would have made Wang Fei run away long ago.

The arrival of Jadi Vida and his trip to the Empire's main planet were completely in line with the plan in the text box.

"Carol, tell the elders that I have been invited by Emperor Vader to go to the main planet of the empire. Tell the elders not to worry. My sixth sense tells me that I am safe."

"clear."

In front of Jiadi Vida, Wang Fei communicated directly with Carol.

Seeing this scene, Jiadi Vida couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

According to the calculations of the Empire's think tank team, there is about a 2% chance that Wang Fei has obtained Carol's true body.

But judging by the way Wang Fei and Carol communicate, Carol hides herself very well, and this is just the spokesperson that Carol intentionally shows up.

The Imperial Think Tank believes that Wang Fei's actions are often too rough and it doesn't seem like Carol wants to hide her identity.

The Empire didn't know that the reason why Wang Fei acted so roughly was because he completely violated the prompt in the text box.

If Wang Fei hadn't insisted on helping Carol seize the key authority.

His identity has been kept well hidden till now.

Even if exposure was part of the text box plan, it wouldn't have been revealed so quickly and so sloppily.

In other words, the reason for being exposed was Wang Fei's own fault.

"Come with me."

Jiadi Vida released the blockade of the gravitational space and took Wang Fei into the gravitational space.

Wang Fei had no intention of doing anything small. It was just an empire, so he could just go there.

Wang Fei is no longer the ignorant hundred-year-old old man who first entered the universe.

...Alliance star field, second planet.

The elders were also very busy, and the great elder coaxed and persuaded them to add a lot of work.

Every cosmic bubble that descends requires a level 9 strongman to be in charge.

The elder finally finished his work and returned to the second planet.

I received the bad news as soon as I returned to the second planet.

"My spokesperson was taken away by the Empire, but he is not in danger for the time being."

Carol communicated directly with the elders.

The elder’s eyes widened and his emotions became somewhat unstable.

For a level 9 god-level life form, the biggest external manifestation of emotional instability is that the surrounding gravitational space will also be affected.

"What do you need me to do?"

"not needed for now."

Carol was just making a routine notification. If Wang Fei needed support from level 9 combat power, he would naturally contact Carol through the cosmic network.

As long as people are still in the central star field, they are not within the gravitational space.

There is no means to sever the connection between the authority holder and the cosmic network.

The elder felt a little heavy-hearted.

Carol's spokesperson had clearly revealed her identity, but she failed to protect it.

This is my own incompetence.

The emotions became more and more unstable. The Great Elder sensed something was wrong and immediately jumped to the side of the elder.

"what happened?"

"Your Republic's Level 9 seed was taken away by the Empire."

"what?"

The Great Elder was confused.

He received no intelligence.

Start verification immediately, contacting Melo first and then Samuel.

After confirming that the person could not be found, the Great Elder became a little anxious.

"What does the Empire mean by this? They want to go to war with us?"

The Great Elder spoke in a deep voice, with one corner of his mouth slightly pursed, looking a little irritable.

"According to the content of the communication, he is not in danger for the time being."

The elders have adjusted their mood.

"Wait a minute, how did you know that?"

The Great Elder suddenly realized that he had not received the message, so how could Sima Vida have received it?

If people in the Republic are in danger, they should use the cosmic network to notify themselves, right?
How did the notification reach Sima Vida?

At this point, there was no need to hide, and the elder spoke out the cruel truth.

Wang Fei is not the 9th seed of the Republic at all, he is the 9th seed of Carol.

"It was Carol who notified me."

"Carol?"

"He is Carol's spokesperson and was trained by Carol. You don't really think that the ridiculous Masters Tournament in the Republic can screen out geniuses, do you?"

"I……"

The Great Elder became even more furious.

He was well aware of the elders' attitude towards Carol.

"When did you find out?"

"It was discovered not long ago."

The Great Elder felt better.

At least I wasn't cheated by my own brother for decades.

The Great Elder looked at the Elders, but he was still deceived by his own brother.

"The Empire knows his identity?"

"It's highly likely that he knows."

"Things are a bit troublesome."

"It won't be too much trouble. If Carol can train one spokesperson, she can train a second one. This person's identity must have been exposed by Carol on purpose."

The elders and the great elder were communicating with each other.

To this day, all smart people believe that Wang Fei's identity came from Carol's deliberate exposure.

Think Carol has some ulterior motive.

No one could have imagined that the real reason why Wang Fei's identity was exposed was because of Wang Fei's own self-destruction.

I didn't listen to the text box and I paid the price.

……

In the gravitational space, Wang Fei said nothing, but just followed Jiadi Vida silently.

Wang Fei didn't know much about the empire.

"Can you still contact Carol now?" Jiadi Vida asked tentatively.

Wang Fei answered very frankly: "The gravitational space is not within the coverage of the cosmic network, so naturally there is no way to connect."

Jiadi Vida was very disappointed. It seemed that this was really just a spokesperson, not a disguise.

That's true. No matter how stupid Carol is, she will not reveal the coordinates of her real body.

If the empire wants to find Carol's true form, it will need enough patience.

"Where is the Imperial Prime? The home planet of the Vader civilization?"

Wang Fei started chatting with Jiadi Vida. The journey was boring and his knowledge improvement had reached a bottleneck.

Without the help of the cosmic network, the rate of knowledge advancement would be too slow.

"The Empire is the orthodox civilization of Vida, and the Empire has only one main star."

There was a hint of pride in Jadi Vida's voice.

All life in the empire has a firm belief.

They believe in Vader, believe in civilization, and believe in the supreme Emperor Vader.

Although it sounds very much like a dictatorship, as long as the dictator is wise enough, it can actually speed up the development of civilization.

"Aren't you worried that the coordinates of the civilization's mother planet will be exposed?" Wang Fei was a little curious.

"Those who can go to Vader's home planet have been screened by the Empire."

"If the coordinates of Vader's home planet are exposed, the Empire's Level 9 life forms will naturally come out in full force and kill all those who know about it."

Jadi Vida's answer was very domineering, but also very empire-like.

Wang Fei didn't want to respond. To some extent, Wang Fei himself was also a leader of civilization.

Compared with the empire's tyranny, the Blue Star civilization is simply weak.

Hiding from place to place, and still traveling in the gravitational space.

Wang Fei even sent the gods of Blue Star to the Cyber ​​civilization for literacy training.

According to Wang Fei’s understanding of the illiterate gods of Blue Star, if Blue Star could be as powerful as the Empire.

I’m afraid it will be even more domineering than the empire.

The reason why others think you are domineering is because they also want to be domineering, but not as strong as you.

Truth and justice are always based on strength.

Without further ado, he pulled out the video of the learning material from the mecha.

Jiadi Vida, who was standing by, sensed Wang Fei's movements inside the mecha and took a special look at the learning video that Wang Fei was browsing.

This time he was even more certain that Wang Fei was Carol's spokesperson.

The same video is still the standard course material for god-level life within the empire.

It comes from Carol's production back then.

The distance to Vader's home planet is also quite far.

The voyage lasted more than forty days.

This is the maximum speed of a level 8 mecha. If a level 9 warrior is flying alone, the speed can be more than doubled.

After completing the gravitational space jump, Wang Fei entered the gravitational space and saw the full picture of the empire's main star.

Against the pitch-black background, an ordinary-looking planet is suspended.

But around the planet, there are a large number of warships, including some level 9 warships. (End of this chapter)
