The sudden retreat of the three major civilizations before the ultimatum deadline stunned the entire interstellar society. For a moment, they didn't know what was going on, and their faces were blank.

The statements supporting the war in the Quantum Network disappeared, and a variety of yin and yang sounds came out quickly.

"Yo, aren't the three major civilizations very tough, so that they will be soft?"

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh With With With With With With With With The Husband With Themselves, And The

"Still support others to go to war? Don't you look at the three major civilizations taking you seriously?"

The trend of public opinion has changed again. Looking at these sarcastic remarks, a large number of interstellar citizens are speechless.

Among them, not only some of the superpowers who were holding their breaths were watching jokes, but some forces behind them were instigating. The Super Star Alliance had been dormant. Now that they saw the opportunity, they immediately jumped out to help, show their traditional skills, and began to shit. .

On the other hand, many players are even more intimidating than interstellar citizens.

"That's it?"

"I watched the cutscenes for ten days, but you guys said no more?"

"Say a full-scale war! Coerce!"

"My trousers are all taken off, you just give me... oh forget, my pants can't be taken off."

Under the horrified eyes of other crew members, many legion players yelled, thumped their chests, excited, and regretted that the war did not erupt smoothly, freed from a group of shocking war fanatics.

The combined fleet of the three civilizations turned into intensive jump streamers and hurriedly evacuated. Looking at this scene, Manison flew out of the fleet and stood side by side with Han Xiao to watch the three civilizations go away.

"It's weird. They didn't even say hello, so they gave up the siege?" Manison was confused.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. This thing is awkward. The three major civilizations have put up such a big battle. It is not for the purpose of swaying us. We can see that they really have the psychological preparation for the war, but now they would rather say something. When you lose prestige, you also have to retreat and avoid war. There must be a huge change."

Han Xiao pinched his chin and murmured softly.

"Well...maybe they really counseled?" Manison said, then shook his head, and he felt that the possibility was not high, guessing: "Maybe it was the three heads of civilization that figured it out, thinking that it was with the association The benefits of full-scale wars outweigh the benefits, so the decision has been changed and the repatriation has been made... Then the strategic goal of virus technology leakage has been achieved?"

"It's not clear, the three civilizations should give a reply to the interstellar society. Let's wait and see. I also want to find someone to inquire about the inside story... Maybe the three civilizations will contact me after a while."

Han Xiao's eyes flashed, thoughtfully.

Hearing this, Manison turned and looked over.

"Do you know something?"

"It's just some conjecture, lack of information, and it's unclear."

Han Xiao shook his head.

At this moment, the communicator rang and connected to the communication channel of the Super A-level association.

"Black Star, what is the situation on your side, the three major civilizations are not fighting?"

"What do they mean?"

"Will our combat plan continue to be implemented?"

As soon as they were connected, many Super A-levels immediately asked questions, and were puzzled.

Many members of the association are very ashamed, and they are all mentally prepared for shopping, their pants are off, and they are ready to fire at all times, but their opponents are on the way to change their way, and the warfare raised by them is held in their hearts. It felt like I was about to race, and suddenly saw the speed limit sign and the traffic police watching next to me, and I could only hold my inner slutty.

Who made the concession and who was the grandson? !

"You stand by first, wait and see the follow-up actions of the three civilizations, but don't be too slack. Be careful is a suspect. If they really want to do it, they may directly use the high-dimensional apocalyptic teleporter to raid strategic strategic points..."

Han Xiao asked him again to keep the members of the association vigilant, and then hung up the call.

The three civilizations surrounded the territory of the Tribes, but it was only a signal of accountability. Actually, it is useless to attack here. It is only the meaning of declaring war. At this time, it is still impossible to determine what the intention of the three civilizations is... It is also possible to use a high-dimensional apocalyptic teleporter to kill a carbine.

After seeing Han Xiao finish the phone call, Manison reopened and said, "What should I do now, the three major civilizations have been withdrawn, then will the troops here be dispersed?"

Han Xiao thought about it and shook his head. "Don't withdraw first, shrink the defense circle and continue to protect the territory of the armed tribes. After confirming that the three civilizations combined fleet will leave this star cluster and disband the troops, I will go back first."

Manison nodded, flew back to the main ship, and ordered the Armed Forces.

Han Xiao withdrew his gaze, replaced the emperor, and disappeared into place.

brush!

The vision changes instantly, and within a second, he returns to a secret army base. This is a hiding place for some cadres who are not involved in the battle to avoid the fighting.

There were some legion cadres and many members of Longtan sitting in the room, Emersy was also among them, sitting here, at this time they were watching the news broadcast of the Armored Territory

Seeing the sudden appearance of Han Xiao, the eyes of many cadres were focused, and the awe and worship in his eyes were more than one and a half thicker than before, just like looking at the gods.

"Your performance has been brave these days." Emersy tilted Erlang's legs, leaned forward, his arms were on his knees, his palms supported his chin, his head was slightly tilted, and his long soft hair poured down and blinked. Blinking his eyes, his face seemed to be a smile but not a smile, his words ridiculed.

"I am not brave, are you still not clear?"

Han Xiao raised a brow.

Emersy smiled softly, "You should still have a lot of things to deal with, so what are you doing running for?"

"Just check it out and make sure it's all right."

Han Xiao casually found a reason, turned his head and glanced at the cadres, his eyes fell precisely on Fording, immediately smiled, strode forward and rubbed him, frantically rubbed his breath.

Fording was frustrated, and he was resigned to accept his actions.

Upon seeing this, Aesop couldn't help but coughed and said: "You have repulsed all the heirs of the three major civilizations, even Urnos can't help you, they must give up their personal abilities, nor I know if there is such a factor in the retreat of the three major civilizations. In short, they don’t seem to want to provoke war, what do you do next?"

Hearing the words, Han Xiao put away a smile.

"First figure out what's going on, don't be too happy anyway, if I am misjudged, I'm afraid the next situation will be worse."

...

The ten-day confrontation between the three major civilizations and the association attracted the attention of the entire universe, but few people expected to end in this way. After the withdrawal of the joint fleet, the three major civilizations fell silent and not only were sent back some time ago. A part of the group army has not even issued a public statement to explain the reason for the retreat. The public opinion has become increasingly fierce, and various speculations and statements have emerged one after another.

I thought this would be the fuse for a full-scale war. However, the three major civilizations are on the cliff, and the impending war has ceased. This confrontation has become the prestige of the Black Star, and it has basically confirmed the name of the peak of the current super-A-level combat power. If you want to say the winner, only Black Star barely counts.

Some people are fortunate that the war is unburned, some blame the three civilizations for their cowardice, some laugh at the interstellar citizens’ self-confidence, and the trend of public opinion is changeable, but only one thing is the same. Everyone is curious, what factors forced the three civilizations to choose concessions. .

Due to the silence of the three major civilizations, no one knew the inside story, and even the Super A-level Association did not make public remarks. They were also watching, resulting in divergent opinions in the interstellar society, and countless people were itchy and impatient.

...

The conference room of the three major civilizations.

"...We have repeatedly verified the authenticity of this report. Through directional wormhole probes, we have indeed found traces of the activities of unknown civilizations. The data itself is fine, but the conclusion of the project is not good to judge."

The remote projection of the high-level empire in charge of scientific research stood in front of the three leaders such as Ma Bruce and was making a serious report.

"So, it is temporarily uncertain whether this unknown civilization is cosmic?" Marbrus emphasized.

"This... is indeed true, but the other party must have a high level of civilization. These days, we frequently send multi-functional space probes across the road to collect more data, which proves that this unknown civilization has a very high technological level."

"...I know, you continue to collect data under the premise of hiding yourself, I want to know the details of this civilization."

After a few words of advice, Mabrus hung up the communication, leaving only him and two other civilization leaders in the room.

"It seems that the decision to retreat was correct at that time." Xu Lingjiao said with a deep voice.

"Well, otherwise it's too much for me now. This report is too timely." Louis echoed, with some happiness.

On the last day of the confrontation, they had intended to follow the operational plan, but this wormhole report from the Imperial Academy of Sciences shaken their decision.

The three major civilizations have been working to explore the unknown universe. This wormhole report discovered the unknown universe-level civilization. This is a huge threat. In this respect, the three major civilizations have rich experience. Once foreign enemies appear, they will have to deal with internal conflicts cautiously. It is undoubtedly not a good time to deal with the imbalance of personal power.

At that time, the arrow was on the string, and there was not much time for the three people to discuss. In the end, they still preferred it. They dispelled the fluke, suspended the combat plan, chose to give in to the association, and turned to use a lot of resources to verify this wormhole data. What weight.

This wormhole data is one of the legacy of the strange gods. Since the strange gods have been sealed for many years, it has been an insignificant project for a long time, but now it has made amazing discoveries, and it has changed from almost no one. It has become the highest priority project, a green light all the way, and the progress is directly supervised by the heads of the three civilizations, with great attention.

The end result is that although the conclusion of this wormhole report is exaggerated, the data is not flawed, and indeed an unknown higher civilization has been discovered, and it is unclear whether it is cosmic.

If this is the case... it can only be said that this is an "unrigorous" conclusion of inestimable value.

Ma Bruce knocked on the table and slowly said:

"The most urgent task now is to collect intelligence from this unknown civilization, determine the strength of the other party, their social form, external attitudes, etc. Other things can be set aside temporarily."

Louis and the False Spirit nodded for the first time.

The three civilizations have a set of strategic plans in this regard. Direct contact or direct warfare is impossible. Once a higher civilization without exploring the universe is found, the first task is to carefully collect information without exposing itself, and then based on this civilization Factors such as strength, culture, etc., and choose different coping schemes, knowing each other and knowing each other can be invincible.

Although the explored universe has entered the era of interstellar society, it is still in a dark forest period similar to the exploration calendar when it is enlarged to the entire unexplored universe. Enemy and darkness are a huge advantage, so we must make good use of it.

"Don't forget, before further exploration, we must first make all measures to deal with accidents." Xu Ling said.

"I understand this."

Ma Bruce nodded.

The measures mentioned by the three were mainly war mobilization and preparations for launching strategic extermination weapons into each other’s territory through wormholes. In some extreme cases, they did not mind directly blowing up each other’s territory and turning it into a barren cosmic belt. There will not be any soft-heartedness to obliterate all creatures of unknown civilization.

"This matter is of great importance. In the event of a war, the super-A-level association is also a powerful armed force. Should we let them know now?"

Luis blinked, raised a sensitive question, and turned to ask the two's opinions.

The existence of super-a level threatens their rule, but at the same time it is also a weapon for external battles. Now that the situation has changed, the ideas of several people have also changed, and there has never been an eternal enemy in their eyes.

Xu Lingjiao pondered for a moment and waved his hand to explain his views:

"Be cautious. I haven't figured out the situation of this unknown civilization. There is no need to disclose it to the association now. Think about it. If this unknown civilization can coexist and have cosmic strength, once they are incorporated into the interstellar social system, then the association will There is one more choice of surrender, which will impact the interstellar pattern... We cannot guarantee the loyalty of the association and should be kept secret temporarily."

"It makes sense." Mabrus nodded. "Now don't announce this to the outside world. Let's explore it in secret. Then we will look at the situation and consider whether to announce it. When we need the assistance of the association, we will tell them."

In the view of the three people, it is obviously unnecessary to immediately notify other forces of this kind of major event. They are all potential instability factors, which may cause trouble.

"Since that is the case, let's put the dispute with the association on hold first, stabilize those who are super a-level, don't let them get in trouble, and get along peacefully for now... Anyway, this is also the goal of Black Star and others. Find a reason to unite with them. , Conveying our intention to stop the struggle, so that the association feels that we gave in."

Louis proposed.

The other two nodded in agreement, it is inevitable to succumb to the outside, although the association cannot be obtained for the time being, as long as they are beyond the level of a, do not make trouble, it is enough for them.

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

If you remember correctly, Black Star also holds this wormhole data from the alien **** heritage. It seems that I once specifically asked the Empire about the research progress of this group of wormhole data...

Now, what does Black Star know?

The thought flashed, and Ma Bruce shook his head.

He felt that this possibility was extremely limited, and that instead of asking Black Star, the intelligence he had discovered by himself was more trustworthy.

Moreover, a consensus was reached just now, saying that the secret should not be disclosed to the outside world, so even if Black Star may know something, he does not intend to ask. After all, the other party is still taking the lead against the leaders of the three civilizations, and has already parted ways.

...

A base of the Black Star Legion, the Legion Chief's Office.

A huge cosmic star chart floats in the room, marking the large-scale movement trajectories of the various civilizations of the three civilizations, drawing a line of arrows.

Standing in front of the star chart, Han Xiao carefully looked at the military movement map of the three civilizations during this period.

It has been some time since the three major civilizations withdrew their troops from the territory of the armed tribes. These days, the military transfer of the three major civilizations is very abnormal. They were stationed in various star regions and were preparing to deal with the super-a-level associations. Attempt to go to war.

If this is the only thing, the weirdest thing is that the three civilizations have always been dumb, without announcements, or contacted the president of the association to explain their meaning. The behavior is very abnormal, as if they have no time to manage him.

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

"May I really guess it..."

Han Xiao muttered to himself.

What can make the three civilizations change their decisions when they are on their way?

In this version period, the situation may not seem to be much, but the butterfly effect he set off has changed a lot of things. One of them is that the gods let the empire obtain the key to the world’s tree civilization and become an unstable factor. .

In his view, the current situation with the highest possibility is that the three civilizations have discovered the world tree from them. Because of the existence of foreign enemies, the three civilizations retreat so simply and without warning.

"If this is the case, the three major civilizations will definitely conduct an in-depth study of the wormhole, and it may inform me or keep it secret from the outside world... With the style of the three major civilizations and my current identity, the latter has a higher probability."

Han Xiao's brow furrowed and bit his nails lightly, which didn't feel very good.

If the three civilizations choose to keep it secret and explore in private, then they do not know enough about the world’s civilization, and the risk of exposure is high.

If the contact has been unavoidably advanced, then this time you continue to hide the information of the World Tree, but it will increase the risk. Perhaps it is the most suitable time to disclose information.

But it is also possible to guess wrong. If the concessions of the three major civilizations were not due to the discovery of the world tree, they would be self-defeating.

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

Han Xiao's face changed.

Beep beep...

At this moment, the communicator rang.

He took it out and looked at it, which was a call from an emissary emperor.

"Hello, Lord Black Star."

As soon as the communication was connected, the emissaries of the empire gave a good show and behaved respectfully.

Han Xiao glanced at him and opened the door straight away: "Finally, I'm going to explain your behavior?"

"You laughed. This time, I'm 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 rebellious virus technology..."

The emissary said a big pass, the core meaning is that the three civilizations are willing to make concessions, saying that they don’t need Manison to turn in virus technology. I believe that the association’s guarantee allows the association to control this high-risk technology by themselves, and they no longer interfere.

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

"It will not be lifted for the time being, but it can be discussed." The emissary smiled.

Looking at the other person's smiling face without temperature, Han Xiao became more and more aware of the subtle attitudes of the three civilizations. His face suddenly became cloudy and clear, and the heaven and earth were at war.

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

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

Bet!

Suddenly determined, Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and said quietly:

"I have received what you mean, and help me tell Ma Bruce a sentence."

"What's the matter?"

"...You are so abnormal, it seems that you finally cracked the wormhole data in the alien heritage, right?"
