Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 323 - 324: Game of Power! On the Eve of Legion Formation!

Chapter 323: Chapter 324: Game of Power! On the Eve of Legion Formation!

After elevating his strength to E-Tier Cosmic Level, Gu Qijue concluded this round of training.

Just as he ended his training, he saw the emails Tian Li had sent him during this period.

Upon quickly scanning through the emails, Gu Qijue was overjoyed.

During his training, he unexpectedly found survivors of the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster Civilization.

These individuals understood the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster Civilization better than anyone else.

Moreover, they could become a source of productivity and combat power for the Infinite Empire.

The basic groundwork of the Infinite Empire fundamentally relied on Emperor Star and Divine Desolate Continent.

But together, Emperor Star and Divine Desolate Continent did not have many people.

The development of Infinite Empire in the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster, especially the population issue, was indeed a big problem.

If survivors of the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster could be found and cooperation achieved, the population problem could be greatly alleviated.

There was more good news: as previously predicted by Tian Li, the Klein people indeed plundered and left the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster.

They had used the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster as a stepping stone to continue attacking the surrounding Star Cluster-level Civilizations.

This meant that Gu Qijue could now form an Infinite Legion to head to the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster.

Gu Qijue contemplated and prepared to submit this proposal to the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster and the Star Cluster Alliance.

It’s conceivable that the Star Cluster Alliance would be keen to see someone causing disruption behind Klein lines.

Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, Supreme Leader’s Hall.

Salisbury received Gu Qijue’s proposal.

At that moment, besides the Female Supreme Leader, there were five Vice Leaders present.

The expressions of several people were not particularly pleasant.

After all, the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster’s homeland was the battlefield against the Klein people.

As a talent of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, why wasn’t Gu Qijue staying to fight here instead of heading to the ruins of the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster?

One of the Vice Leaders of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, Ni Gousha, spoke angrily, "This traitor! He should be arrested!"

Ni Gousha was burning with rage at that moment, utterly furious.

In his view, Gu Qijue’s current success was entirely due to the support and training he received from the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

Without the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, Gu Qijue would still be a local tycoon on the Divine Desolate Continent, nowhere near his current achievements.

However, not all the top officials thought like Ni Gousha did.

The help Vermilion Bird Star Cluster provided Gu Qijue and the benefits Gu Qijue returned to the Star Cluster can’t be simply defined as who owes whom.

Moreover, Gu Qijue merely proposed the plan; he hadn’t directly taken people to the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster.

Under such circumstances, everything was still negotiable.

After a moment of silence, Han Sen spoke, "I think it can be approved, and we can even place a bet on it."

"If the Klein people could suddenly attack and destroy the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster, they could destroy the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster too."

"Although there are allied forces of the Star Cluster Alliance in the Vermilion Bird battlefield, making it hard for the Klein people to achieve that."

"But who knows if there will always be allied forces in the Vermilion Bird battlefield?"

"In times like this, it’s necessary to keep some backup paths for the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster and preserve the spark."

Pausing slightly, Vice Leader Han Sen continued:

"From my perspective, what we need to consider now is the level of importance we place on this backup path."

"Should we strongly support Commander Gu Qijue’s development in the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster and find ways to firmly control him and his forces?"

"Or should we just give minimal support, allowing Commander Gu Qijue to develop on his own?"

Salisbury and the others, in fact, were clear-minded individuals.

They had thought of part of the situation before Han Sen spoke.

After Han Sen clarified things, everyone, including Ni Gousha, started thinking rationally.

This matter held both advantages and disadvantages for the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

If the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster truly couldn’t sustain in the future and needed to retreat elsewhere,

And if Gu Qijue had progressed well there, naturally, people from the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster would gain an extra survival path.

If the top leaders and powerhouses of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster went to the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster, they could even rebuild civilization there.

But if the Vermilion Bird battlefield held strong and even repelled the Klein people,

Then the investment in the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster wouldn’t hold much value.

While the others were still contemplating, Salisbury, the Supreme Leader of Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, made a decision!

"The Vermilion Bird Star Cluster can provide limited support to such activities."

"Any commander, upon approval, can take a small combat unit and resources to conduct such operations."

"Regardless of the future trends, they can maintain alliances with Commander Gu Qijue and other commanders applying for such operations."

Supreme Leader Salisbury was quite skilled.

Given Gu Qijue had such thoughts, even if they disagreed, one day he might still run away.

The only way to prevent Gu Qijue from leaving was to eliminate him.

But killing Gu Qijue wouldn’t bring any benefits to the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

Supreme Leader Salisbury’s approach was to take a small bet with possibilities everywhere.

After all, the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster wouldn’t escape the quagmire of war for a long time to come, achieving greater development.

In that case, sending capable commanders like Gu Qijue to achieve certain goals is better.

The Vermilion Bird Star Cluster could provide a certain degree of support to Gu Qijue and others.

If the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster couldn’t hold in the future, a large number of escape routes would be available.

Conversely, if the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster survived the war, a large number of developing allies would be available.

After the war between the Star Cluster Alliance and the Klein people, the worn-out Star Cluster-level Civilizations would definitely be annexed. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Wars between Star Cluster Alliance members might very likely break out.

No matter future trends, having more allies in various places is always good for the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

Of course, these so-called allies might also become puppets of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

Whether their development in different areas will become the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster’s assets depends on their capabilities.

With the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster’s foundation and capabilities, most of the victory fruits would obviously be claimed by the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster in the end.

This would be extremely harsh for Gu Qijue and others.

Yet, there’s no choice, such is the game of power.

They must either quietly develop within the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, avoiding such dangerous games.

Or possess enough confidence and capability to ensure that while developing outside, they aren’t infiltrated or meddled by the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

For example, the Infinite Legion Gu Qijue was about to form, if there were spies within the high levels from the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

Or say, some key positions within the legion were held by people from the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

Then, even if Gu Qijue was leading and commanding the legion, the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster would still wield great influence over it.

If there were acts of power transition within a legion.

Would the power be handed over to people from the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster during such transition?

These matters were very long-term arrangements; clearly, such strategies held no issues for the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.
