The arrival of the special envoy from the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, followed by the trip to the Star Cluster Level battlefield.

Made the Emperor Star Alliance governed by Gu Qijue the greatest beneficiary.

The other eight continental plates of the Divine Desolate Continent, with Ziling, the strongest of the Northern Continent Plate, became allies of the Emperor Star.

The Divine Tier powerhouses of the other seven continental plates suffered heavy losses.

This allowed the Emperor Star Alliance to suddenly become the undisputed overlord of the Divine Desolate Continent.

Although Gu Qijue had not yet completed the great task of unifying the Divine Desolate Continent,

Now, he was already the undisputed uncrowned king of the Divine Desolate Continent.

A title very suitable for him right now is the Lord of the Desolate Star System.

The first thing Gu Qijue did upon returning was convene the highest conference of the Desolate Star System Alliance.

The venue for the highest conference was the highest conference hall of the Emperor Star Alliance.

Previously, the title of alliance leader under Gu Qijue was in name only, so the Desolate Star System did not have its own highest conference hall.

After Gu Qijue's orders spread everywhere,

All the continental plates of the Divine Desolate Continent each sent three powerhouses to attend the meeting.

In the Southern Heng Domain, at the highest conference hall of the Emperor Star Alliance.

Gu Qijue, along with the Vice Leader of the Emperor Star Alliance, Emperor Kui, and Ji Tianyue, attended this meeting.

Powerhouses from the other eight continental plates, including Ziling, totaled twenty-four in number.

Once everyone was present, Gu Qijue was the first to speak: "This is the first meeting of the Desolate Star System Alliance."

"Such meetings will be held regularly in the future, aiming to encourage better collective development and progress of all members of the Desolate Star System Alliance."

"Today's meeting mainly focuses on three matters."

Upon finishing, the Divine Tier powerhouse from the Western Continent Plate, Ye Wuchen, immediately spoke:

"Before formally proceeding with the meeting, shouldn't we elect the Vice Alliance Leader?"

Currently, the Desolate Star System Alliance only has Gu Qijue as the Alliance Leader, without a Vice Alliance Leader.

The so-called Desolate Star System Alliance is indistinguishable from Gu Qijue's personal control.

Having said that, the other powerhouses did not echo.

If it were previously, they would have surely voiced their opinions.

Now, each continental plate had lost three Divine Tiers.

At this time, none were willing to stand up against Gu Qijue.

Indeed, after Ye Wuchen's suggestion, Gu Qijue also smiled and said: "Is there really a need, everyone?"

Faced with his question, no one responded.

Because they dared not risk offending the Emperor Star to refute Gu Qijue, nor did they wish to see the Desolate Star System become a dictatorship under him.

Ye Wuchen initially thought that after he took the lead, others would readily follow suit.

Seeing everyone remain silent, he was quite frustrated and decided to stop talking.

Seeing no one speak, Gu Qijue continued:

"As just mentioned, this meeting primarily has three matters to discuss."

"The first matter, the Desolate Star System shall prohibit internal conflict, the continental plates can consider incorporating into the Emperor Star."

"The second matter, forming an exploration team to scout the resource stars across the Desolate Star System."

"Meanwhile, see if beyond the Emperor Star and the Divine Desolate Continent, there are other intelligent civilizations within the Desolate Star System."

"The third matter is to gradually dispatch various parties into the Bi Fang Battlefield for trials."

"This is an order from the Vermilion Bird Empire, and also our opportunity for rapid development."

"On the Bi Fang Battlefield, one can earn merits and various advanced resources."

"The merits can be exchanged for advanced and rare items in the Vermilion Bird Empire, while the advanced resources obtained from the Bi Fang Battlefield can be sold or brought back to the Divine Desolate Continent."

Upon Gu Qijue finishing his words, the numerous Divine Tier powerhouses started whispering among themselves.

The current perception of the Bi Fang Battlefield was one of extreme dread.

Like them, twenty-one Divine Tier powerhouses had recently perished in battle.

How could they not feel fear?

However, the benefits Gu Qijue mentioned also piqued their interest.

For a moment, many Divine Tier powerhouses were indecisive, uncertain of what to do.

While Gu Qijue convened the highest conference of the Desolate Star System, Tian Li was engaged in calculations.

He was computing and analyzing observation data on the Emperor Star.

A planet, as long as it has a stable cosmic environment and relatively rich resources, may give birth to life.

In the Desolate Star System, there are many planets that meet the basic requirements for life.

However, from the observation data, most planets had no life.

After careful calculation and analysis, Tian Li discovered an anomalous data set.

While some unexpected factors in the cosmic environment might cause anomalies as well,

There's also a possibility that this anomaly was man-made.

If that's the case, there might be two civilizations on the fringes of the Desolate Star System.

One of these civilizations is a Star-level civilization, capable of building constructs similar to a Dyson Sphere.

The other civilization is very low-tier, likely still using chemical rockets to hurl space trash into orbit.

After recording these two coordinates, Tian Li turned to Gu Yinling nearby, saying: "I need a starship capable of space jumping."

Gu Yinling shook her head: "High Lord Tian Li, without Adoptive Father's permission, you cannot leave the Divine Desolate Continent."

Tian Li was helpless but, after pondering, said to Gu Yinling:

"I won't leave the Divine Desolate Continent, but you can go check these two coordinates."

"Although it's likely there's nothing around these two coordinates,

There's still a chance of intelligent life existing."

"Where there's intelligent life, it's generally a resource-rich place."

"To rapidly develop into a Star Cluster-level civilization, the Desolate Star System must harness the enthusiasm of all intelligent life within the system."

"It must fully utilize all the system's resources, needs..."

Before Tian Li could continue his long discourse, Gu Yinling quickly raised a hand and said:

"That's enough, High Lord Tian Li!"

"Give me the coordinates, and I'll go take a look."

Without hesitation, Tian Li provided the two space coordinates to Gu Yinling.

Soon, Gu Yinling boarded an Emperor Starship and set off on the exploration.

After several space jumps, he arrived at a region of stark desolation and barrenness.

In this area, there were very few stars, and the entire cosmic space was pitch black.

However, when he arrived at the first coordinate Tian Li mentioned, Gu Yinling discovered a civilization barely reaching the Constant Star Level.

This civilization comprised superpower users and had very primitive technology.

Moreover, the indigenous inhabitants of this planet were all Cat People.

Regardless of gender, they all had cat ears and cat tails.

Due to the technological disparity, Gu Yinling was not detected by the natives of Cat Star upon arrival.

He promptly proceeded to the next spatial coordinate point.

This time, Tian Li's insight was correct; there indeed was a backward civilization using chemical rockets to launch devices into space.
