Lewis and the leader of Void Spirit nodded.

The three major civilizations have a set of strategic plans in this regard. Direct contact or direct war is impossible. Once an advanced civilization that has not explored the universe is discovered, the first task is to carefully collect intelligence without exposing itself, and then based on this civilization

Depending on your strength, culture and other factors, you can choose different response plans. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

Although the explored universe has entered the era of interstellar society, when zoomed in on the entire unexplored universe, it is still in a dark forest period similar to the exploration era. The enemy's light and our own darkness are a huge advantage, and we must make good use of it.

"Don't forget, before further exploration, you must first take all measures to deal with accidents." said the virtual leader.

"I understand this."

Ma Bruce nodded.

The measures mentioned by the three people are mainly war mobilization, and being ready to release strategic extermination weapons through wormholes into the opponent's territory. In some extreme cases, they do not mind directly blowing up the opponent's territory and turning it into a desolate cosmic zone.

There will be no mercy in eradicating all creatures of unknown civilization.

"This matter is of great importance. If a war really breaks out, the Transcendent A Grade Association is also a powerful armed force. Do we want to let them know now?"

Lewis' eyes flashed, he asked a sensitive question, and turned to ask the two people for their opinions.

The existence of Transcendent A Grade threatens their rule, but it is also a weapon for external warfare. Now that the situation has changed, the thoughts of several people have also changed. In their eyes, there is never a permanent enemy.

The leader of Xuling pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and explained his opinion:

"Be cautious. We haven't figured out the situation of this unknown civilization yet. There is no need to disclose it to the association now. Think about it, if this unknown civilization can coexist and have cosmic strength at the same time, once they are integrated into the interstellar social system, then the association will

There is one more choice to take refuge, which will impact the interstellar pattern... We cannot guarantee the loyalty of the association and should keep it secret for the time being."

"It makes sense." Mabrus nodded, "Don't announce this matter to the outside world now. Let's explore it secretly first, and then we will consider whether to announce it based on the situation. When we need the association's assistance, it will not be too late to tell them."

In the view of the three of them, there is obviously no need to notify other forces immediately about such a major event. It is a potential factor of instability and may cause some trouble.

"In this case, let's put aside the dispute with the association first, stabilize those Transcendent A Grades, don't let them get into trouble, and live in peace for the time being... Anyway, this is also the goal of Black Star and others, find a reason to agree with them

, conveying our intention to stop fighting will make the association feel that we have given in."

Louis suggested.

The other two people nodded in agreement. It was inevitable that they would first settle down inside before going outside. Although the association could not be settled for the time being, as long as Transcendent A Grade did not cause trouble, it was enough for them.

At this moment, Ma Bruce remembered something and suddenly his eyes flashed.

If I remember correctly, Black Star also has this wormhole data from the Ability God's legacy, and it seems that it has specifically inquired about the empire's research progress on this set of wormhole data...

Now it seems that Black Star knows something?

As soon as the thought flashed, Mabrus shook his head.

He felt that this possibility was extremely limited. Instead of asking Black Star, the information obtained through self-exploration was more trustworthy.

Moreover, they had just reached a consensus and agreed not to leak this secret to the outside world, so even if Black Star might know something, he did not intend to ask. After all, the other party was still the leader of the forces fighting against the three major civilizations, and they had already parted ways.

…

A certain base of the Black Star Legion, the office of the legion commander.

A huge star map of the universe is suspended in the room, with the large-scale mobilization trajectories of each army group of the three major civilizations marked on it, and arrow routes are drawn.

Han Xiao stood in front of the star map and carefully looked at the army mobilization charts of the three major civilizations during this period.

It has been some time since the three major civilizations withdrew their troops from the territory of the Tool Clan. These days, the military mobilization of the three major civilizations is very unusual. They were originally stationed in various star fields, preparing to deal with the Transcendent A Grade Association, but now they have withdrawn from the Central Star Sea and seem to be gone.

An attempt to start a war.

If this is all, forget it. The weirdest thing is that the three major civilizations have been pretending to be mute. They have not made any announcements, nor have they contacted the president of the association to explain their intentions. Their behavior is very abnormal, as if they have no time to care about him.

He has been trying to find out the inside story these days, but the three major civilizations are highly confidential this time, and no relevant information has been leaked.

"Isn't it true that I guessed it right..."

Han Xiao murmured to himself.

What could make the three major civilizations change their decisions at the last moment?

In this version period, there don't seem to be many possible situations, but the butterfly effect that he set off has changed many things. One of them is that Ability God allowed the empire to get the key to the world tree civilization territory early, which became a factor of instability.

.

In his opinion, the most likely scenario at present is that the three major civilizations discovered the World Tree. Because of the existence of foreign enemies, the three major civilizations retreated so simply and without warning.

"If this is the case, the three major civilizations will definitely conduct in-depth research on the wormhole. They may notify me, or they may keep it secret from the outside world... Based on the styles of the three major civilizations and my current identity, the probability of the latter is higher."

Han Xiao frowned and bit his nails lightly, feeling something bad.

If the three major civilizations choose to keep it secret and explore on their own privately, then they do not know enough about the World Tree Civilization and the risk of being exposed is very high.

If contact has inevitably been brought forward, then if I continue to conceal the information about World Tree at this time, it will increase the risk. Perhaps now is the most suitable time to reveal the information.

But it is also possible that the guess was wrong. If the three major civilizations gave in not because of the discovery of the World Tree, it would be self-defeating.

"So the essence is still a gamble. Do I want to take a gamble..."

Han Xiao's expression changed.

Beep beep beep...

Just then, the communicator rang.

He took it out and took a look. It was a call from an imperial envoy.

"Hello, Lord Black Star."

As soon as the communication was connected, the imperial envoy nodded and showed respect.

Han Xiao looked him over and said straight to the point: "Are you finally going to explain your behavior?"

"You are joking. This time I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of the three major civilizations. We are willing to accept the association's proposal and allow you to restrain the virtual rebellion virus technology on your own..."

The imperial envoy made a clear statement. The core meaning was that the three major civilizations were willing to make concessions, saying that they did not need Manison to hand over virus technology. They believed in the guarantee of the association and allowed the association to manage and control this high-risk technology on their own. They would no longer interfere.

"Oh?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Since you have recognized the validity of the association's guarantee, you have recognized the correctness of the association. What about the blockade ban on the association?"

"It won't be lifted for the time being, but it can be discussed." The imperial envoy smiled.

Looking at the other party's warm smiling face, Han Xiao became more and more aware of the subtle attitudes of the three major civilizations. His face suddenly became cloudy and uncertain, and there was a war between heaven and man in his heart.

His intuition became stronger and stronger, and he felt that he might have guessed the truth.

After a few seconds of silence, Han Xiao slowly took a breath.

Bet on it!

Determined suddenly, Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and said faintly:

"I have received your message. Tell Ma Bruce a message for me."

"What words?"
Chapter completed!
