Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1415 - 1380: Beware of Sovereignty

"Be cautious of Blue Star sovereignty, and try to keep a low profile!"

After returning to Cangqiong Star, Princess Lin Ziyu arranged for someone to send a note containing a coded message. However, once decrypted, the message was as confusing as ever, lacking both beginning and context.

Chen Fei did not inform others, instead seeking help from Miyoshi Xuesen for interpretation.

In terms of handling intelligence, the monk's priority was even above that of the advisory team. Reading classified information not meant for the public and handling covert operations were among his old skills; maintaining tight-lipped discretion is the most basic professional ethic.

After reading this extremely brief message, he was silent for a while, then the monk gave Chen Fei a meaningful look and said, "It seems the Silan Royal Family does not harbor much resentment towards you!"

"What do you mean?"

What does being cautious of Blue Star sovereignty have to do with the resentment from the Silan Royal Family? How are these related?

Chen Fei was not afraid of the Silan Dynasty causing any trouble. Whether it was at the "Stargate" stage, letting things develop on their own, or bringing them into the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, events like being invaded, parasitized by celestial bodies, or traitorous activities could not occur.

Because the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space is essentially a "big pit."

The barrier released by the "Life Tree" seamlessly covers every corner in its range, life and death under Chen Fei's control, so no matter who dares to harbor ill intentions, the outcome would be the same.

"So, you haven't had time to see this yet!"

Miyoshi Xuesen took out his phone, swiped through the screen, and played a video.

It depicted Chen Fei leading people to explore the biological celestial body planet of the "Sagali" civilization. Judging from the angle, the filming position should be the female juvenile Metallic Dragon Yilan.

Chen Fei did not notice Yilan's covert filming actions.

Possessing the heritage module, the Metallic Dragon naturally attracted attention (in every sense), so the Artificial Intelligence AI did not provide extra notifications. Plus, Chen Fei had been busy with interstellar wars and genocide lately, having no time to check recent news, completely unaware of the huge storm Yilan's video livestream generated after naturally spreading.

As the person involved in the video, even the protagonist, by the time Chen Fei knew he was thrust into the spotlight, public opinion had already fermented to an uncontrollable level.

Geez!~

Finding it difficult to bear the overwhelming attention akin to "putting on the yellow robe," he lost interest after just a short look.

Anyone else would have made a fortune long ago, but since he had not returned to Blue Star, he entirely missed out on this hot money from eye-catching economics.

Chen Fei did not like such meaningless noise, nor did he intend to hold Yilan accountable for her self-initiated livestream recording, since from the beginning there was no malicious intent. It was those with ulterior motives that used the livestream snippets to stir up trouble.

"Looks like keeping a low profile is indeed necessary!"

Chen Fei began to understand Her Royal Highness the Princess's hintline, if not an overt message.

Getting too much public attention can easily be scrutinized under a magnifying glass, even the slightest flaw magnified countless times, followed by rumors spreading like wildfire, with slander and backstabbing coming in quick succession.

After all, most people cannot bear to see others excel, wishing for the entire world to be fools while only they themselves stand out.

"No, the issue is not here!"

The monk shook his head. Chen Fei had not grasped the crucial point yet, but he was close.

Not being in that position, not solving those affairs, nor having endured such harm, it is precisely the lack of this experience that makes it easy to overlook certain information.

"It's just idle talk and public opinions turning against you. Once the storm passes, everyone will forget, no need to worry too much, right?"

Chen Fei had no interest in this spotlight, becoming some savior, or a great hero, as these notions are traps, and honor is equivalent to being a clown.

In the comments of those videos, there are envious, mocking, cursing, rumor-spreading, slanderous attacks, motivated by various sentiments and reasons, all kinds of comments. If he took every single one seriously, life would become unbearable.

"For ordinary people, public opinion indeed holds weight, but at your level, what the commoners say, heh, is merely nothing, completely inconsequential." Miyoshi Monk sneered coldly, then continued, "However, those sovereignty powers might not tolerate you."

"The cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked; the birds are gone, the bow is put away? Hmm, I guess that's how it'll be."

With intelligence already in place, after a slight hint, Chen Fei quickly understood.

Public opinion and the will of sovereignty are often two completely different matters.

"How the 'Master of the Firmament' was targeted previously, you will be targeted in the same way. Blue Star does not need a savior, nor will it be grateful to one, let alone now when you have essentially become the new generation 'Master of the Firmament.' If the Silan Dynasty holds a grudge, it will just stand by, letting you gradually become a target of many attacks."

At some point, this crafty monk began addressing Chen Fei with respect, even his attitude becoming much more polite.

Anyone able to take down the legendary "Master of the Firmament" would command respect from the monk, as the strong naturally deserve respect.

"It did give me a wake-up call!"

There wasn't the slightest hint of annoyance on Chen Fei's face, as the situation had not yet progressed to that point.

So far, everything was just speculation, although the possibility was not low.

The reason why the "Lord of the Sky" was deliberately targeted by the Blue Star Sovereignties was not only because of the relationship with the Silan Dynasty of Cangqiong Star but also due to the special logical relationship of the "Sima Qian Trap."

Before a new world war breaks out, the Blue Star Sovereignties needed an enemy to collectively target as a "trash can" or a "scapegoat" to vent various social contradictions. "It's all XXX's fault" is a typical universal excuse. Such an existence has always been there, switching roles intermittently. However, the sovereignties did not expect the suddenly emerged "Sagali" civilization to forcibly replace the "Lord of the Sky," which was preset as the public enemy, achieving the status of an enemy of the world.

Now that the "Lord of the Sky" has been captured and the "Sagali" civilization seems to have been wiped out, the "Sima Qian Trap" has undergone new changes, and the most suitable target to become the public enemy of Blue Star is none other than Chen Fei.

Heroes are not kings. Dead heroes are the best heroes!

Adolf Hitler was also a "hero" at first with countless fans, but what happened later...

Damned politicians have no bottom line.

Beware of Blue Star Sovereignties!

"So... please keep a low profile!"

Miyoshi Xuesen also didn't want the favorable situation to be ruined all at once. The development of the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space was no longer just Chen Fei's business, nor could he possibly be kicked out.

"I got it. From now on, we will implement news control and guide public opinion. Hmm, just in time for the people of the Silan Dynasty to come over; there won't be a lack of professionals in this area. Monk, you're tasked with setting up a specialized secret intelligence department, with only investigative power, no operational power, understand?"

With a spirit of pragmatism, Chen Fei borrowed manpower from the Silan Dynasty, assuming they wouldn't refuse. Moreover, this also provided job opportunities; as long as there were tasks to do, the chaos would relatively decrease.

Not only the Blue Star Sovereignties could stir up trouble, but the people of the Silan Dynasty also wouldn't hesitate to utilize Chen Fei's fame, and Chen Fei didn't want to be used as a tool for no reason, so it's best to keep the initiative in public opinion in one's own hands.

"I thought I could relax a bit after retirement, but didn't expect..."

The monk sighed deeply, slowly shaking his head, unable to completely trust others to handle such matters, so had no choice but to take charge personally.

Enjoying a peaceful retirement life was destined to be impossible in a short time.

"In the current situation, no one should expect to take it easy!"

Chen Fei shifted his gaze, landing on one of the Earth Element Warrior guards, and said, "Theodore, it's your turn to go back to your old profession, set up a financial department, and manage Star Yuan and financial transactions."

Initially just an idyllic Life Space, as the population migrating in grew to over a million, now heading towards a billion, and eventually even exceeding ten billion wouldn't be surprising. The originally established administrative structure was becoming inadequate, and the integration of the Silan Dynasty inevitably led it towards sovereignty.

According to the "Thucydides Trap" theory, the rise of a sovereignty will inevitably face suppression and challenges from other sovereignties, an unavoidable thing.

Only by going through trials can one ultimately establish international relations and sovereign status.

From the cause, and process to the result of the conflict, justice and right or wrong are irrelevant.

Although the First Sovereignty would likely stand up for Chen Fei, to start a war with all the Blue Star sovereignties just for him, especially at this critical juncture, would put Chen Fei in a difficult position.

So rather than an asymmetrical situation where sovereignties oppress an individual, it's better to elevate it to the level of sovereignty against sovereignty.

"Huh? I don't have to be a guard anymore?"

Theodore pointed at himself. Although he had a background as a financial scammer, he was well-versed in the financial industry, and there was absolutely no problem managing financial affairs.

"You choose yourself; there's only one chance."

As they were about to rise to the height of sovereignty, Chen Fei also needed to step into the background and be low-key, no longer repeatedly leading charges like before, so the demand for personal defense around him would significantly decrease. The "Barrier Domain" of the "Life Tree" alone would suffice to ensure his personal safety. If it's not safe in the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, then adding more personnel would be meaningless.

"I'll manage the money then!"

Theodore certainly didn't like the violent work, even though, forced by Dang Wei Jun, he had picked up weapons and his combat power had already reached the level of a real Earth Element Warrior.

"The old method, first focus, then discuss democracy, uprate and joint council weight sharing, 80% to 20% in the first ten years, to be discussed again in the second ten years."

In the First Sovereignty where Dragon Slaying Techniques abounded, Chen Fei's abilities in finance aside, were definitely excessive.

After all, in the First Sovereignty, even if you tied a dog to the leadership position, it could get things done smoothly.

So the capable ones by his side were about to take off again.
