When I heard this request.

Zhao Chen was genuinely surprised.

The other party showed no tension or fear after being discovered.

Instead, they made a request to see me.

This behavior makes it seem as if the person is specifically targeting him.

"Have you investigated where they have been in our universe recently?"

"Have you been in contact with anyone?" Zhao Chen asked.

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard replied, "We have deduced their previous itinerary and can confirm that they did not come into contact with anyone from any force after arriving in our universe cluster."

They simply looked around and strolled around a few planets in the Thai universe.

It's like...it's like they're here on vacation.

Zhao Chen thought for a moment, then said, "Make arrangements to send these people to the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire."

As for those three hundred interstellar warships, control them first. As long as they don't resist, let them stay put for now.

"yes."

Zhao Chen was somewhat curious about what purpose these people from other universes had come to the Xiaolong universe cluster.

soon.

The two were then taken to the Dragon Star Empire.

"Is this the universe of the Dragon Star Empire?"

"This is a completely different world from the universe we visited before." The nineteenth prince exclaimed in amazement as he looked out the porthole.

The twenty-fifth princess beside her nodded and said, "Judging from its prosperity, it is in no way inferior to our civilization."

Moreover, it's more orderly here, giving it a vibrant feel.

"What is that? What a huge space city!" The nineteenth prince exclaimed as he saw the enormous space city in the distance.

"That should be one of the rumored space cities of the Dragon Star Empire. They are not many and are located in important places."

This should be Chang'an, the political core of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire. The Twenty-Fifth Princess recalled the intelligence she had obtained.

"So that means we can really meet the Emperor of the Dragon King?" The nineteenth prince was taken aback. He hadn't expected the Dragon King Interstellar Empire to be so efficient.

In less than a day, they were brought to Chang'an.

It's worth noting that for other extraterrestrial civilizations, investigating them alone might take ten days to half a month in this situation.

There's no guarantee we'll even get to meet that Dragon Emperor.

But in the Dragon Star Empire, it's actually that easy?

"Please follow us." The Imperial Guards responsible for escorting them led them onto a shuttle.

"Um...where are we going next?"

"Are we to be investigated here?" the nineteenth prince asked, still somewhat doubtful.

The Imperial Guard looked at them with a puzzled expression.

"Of course, it's to see our Emperor. Isn't that what you yourselves requested before?"

It's actually true?

"They just let us meet Emperor Xiaolong so easily?" The nineteenth prince still found it somewhat unbelievable.

The Imperial Guard couldn't help but chuckle and said, "What's so strange about that? It's so simple."

You have stated your purpose, and we have investigated you; you are indeed not in any danger.

We have also reported this matter to His Majesty.

If His Majesty the Emperor is willing to meet you, then we will arrange for you to meet His Majesty the Emperor.

It's that simple.

Is it really that simple?

It sounds like this is a very understated thing.

The nineteenth prince and the twenty-fifth princess exchanged a glance. Only they knew how astonishing such a thing would be under other civilized systems.

After that, the shuttle they were in entered the fast lanes of Chang'an City and headed directly to the central region.

After it was moored.

The Imperial Guards led them off the shuttle.

"You need to undergo another check now."

"It's very simple, just run it through the instrument over there," the Imperial Guard requested.

Neither of them minded, after all, they were meeting the supreme leader of the empire, and this level of inspection was perfectly acceptable.

After undergoing the inspection, the two were escorted by the Imperial Guard and several other soldiers to a suspended platform.

The suspended platform floated, moving in one direction.

Before long, they arrived at a palace.

This palace is not very luxurious, but it has a solemn and dignified feel.

It was completely different from the palace where their kingdom's venerable one resided.

"Please." The Imperial Guards led the way.

The two began to walk up the steps.

After climbing a flight of steps, a very spacious hall came into view.

The main hall contains many statues, stone carvings of interstellar warships, and even stone carvings depicting battlefields.

If any former soldiers of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire were to see this, they would likely recognize that these stone carvings depict crucial battles fought by the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire in the past.

These battlefield stone carvings remain here.

It's so that everyone will remember.

The reason why the Dragon Star Empire has been able to get to where it is today is because of those unforgettable battles.

Looking further into the distance.

On a not-too-high step, there was a throne, and on the throne sat a man in military uniform.

It's not very tall, less than two meters.

It wasn't one of those terrifying, muscular monsters; it just looked like a rather handsome, humanoid race.

But once they got closer, they realized they were wrong.

Because there was an aura about that man, an aura completely different from that of the Venerable One.

At first glance, it may not seem like anything special, but with each subsequent look, it inspires a sense of awe.

"Your Majesty, these are the two people who wish to see you." After saying this, the Imperial Guard stepped aside.

Zhao Chen stared at the two people in front of him.

After a silence of about ten seconds.

Zhao Chen spoke up: "I am the Emperor of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire. Don't you have anything to say?"

Upon hearing the words of the Dragon Emperor, the two finally came to their senses.

The two bowed and spoke with the highest level of etiquette they possessed.

“Your Majesty the Emperor of the Dragon King, I am Mori, the nineteenth prince from the Ash Venerable Civilization.”

"Your Majesty Emperor Xiaolong, I am Moqi, the twenty-fifth princess from the Ash Venerable Civilization."

Listening to their introductions.

"What is your relationship?" Zhao Chen asked, pointing at the two of them.

“We are siblings,” said the nineteenth prince, Mori.

Zhao Chen continued, "What is your purpose in infiltrating our universe cluster?"

Upon hearing this question, the nineteenth prince, Mori, was taken aback.

At this moment, Princess Mo Qi, the twenty-fifth princess, took the initiative to speak, looking at Emperor Xiaolong on the throne and saying, "We are here to discuss a deal with you!"

"A deal? What kind of deal?" Zhao Chen rested his chin on one hand.

"I present you with a universe cluster!"

Zhao Chen squinted at the princess.

He remained silent, waiting for the princess to continue.

"That is a very large universe cluster, and the number of universes it covers is more than five times that of the Dragon Star universe cluster you are in!"

The combined resource output of all universes in the entire universe cluster is currently three times that of your Xiaolong universe cluster.

This is before full development.

If we were to develop our universe cluster in the same way you are developing this one, it would be at least six to ten times larger than the JF-17 universe cluster!

"So, why did you do this?" Zhao Chen asked in return.

"Would you like to hear a story?" The twenty-fifth princess, Mo Qi, stared at Zhao Chen, unfazed by the emperor's gaze.

"you say."

"It was an interstellar civilization kingdom, and when it first rose to prominence, it was full of hope and glory."

It was once a rising star, with a glorious history.

However, with the passing of one era after another.

This once glorious interstellar kingdom has begun to decay internally.

The various families were intertwined.

People are no longer pursuing the development of the kingdom, but rather the petty gains in front of them.

They didn't care what happened to the kingdom.

They only care about whether their fleet is strong enough, whether their territory is large enough, and whether the monthly production report within their territory has improved.

And who is in power in this kingdom?

He was old, and sitting on that throne, he no longer cared about the suffering of the people. He was capable of doing anything for his own selfish desires.

The laws of the kingdom?

It's not as good as one sentence from him.

The development of the kingdom?

It can't compare to what he loves.

As for the future?

Nobody cares.

Even as the invaders' flames reached their feet, they continued their final revelry!

They cannot see, they cannot see at all, the cries of their people, their suffering, and the people who die every day on those planets from hunger, cold, disease, and persecution by their families.

How ridiculous.

Do you think such a kingdom still has a reason to exist?

Hearing the princess's indignant words...

Emperor Zhao Chen stared at the princess and asked, "You just said that your identity is that of a princess."

So, what you're trying to overthrow now is your father, the emperor?

"Father?"

In your world, there are still words like this.

There, we all called him Venerable One.

My brother could never call him father, because it's simply not allowed.

And I, wearing a false mask, can only call him father in his presence.

But when I uttered those two words, I didn't feel any happiness. Those two words were as cold as ice to me. "The Twenty-Fifth Princess, Mo Qi, said self-deprecatingly.

"So, you and your father don't get along well."

"So you wanted to seek my power to overthrow that kingdom because you couldn't stand what was happening?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Yes."

Zhao Chen asked, puzzled, "What good will this do you?"

"I gained a kingdom, while you will be seen as a traitor?"

All I want is a new civilization.

Moreover, what I'm doing with you is a transaction.

"I naturally have my own conditions as well," said Princess Moqi, the twenty-fifth princess.

"Go on."

The twenty-fifth princess, Mo Qi, looked at Emperor Xiaolong and stated her conditions: "I will help you take down that universe cluster."

However, you cannot destroy the original kingdom's regime.

The Ashbringer civilization must be preserved, and its ruling class must be people we approve of.

We will pledge allegiance to your Dragon Star Empire.

Just like the affiliated interstellar civilizations under your current jurisdiction.

We can hand over diplomatic and military powers to you, but other rights must be in our own hands. We want to enjoy the same treatment as those interstellar civilizations.

Zhao Chen nodded knowingly: "I basically understand what you mean."

You cannot bear to see your civilized kingdom decay, so you want to use my power to overthrow your original leadership, namely your father and those noble families.

Finally, you rebuild such an interstellar civilization.

And I will help you; I will send a legion fleet to help you do this.

What I received was merely a subordinate interstellar civilization.

To be honest, I think I lost out on this deal.

As you just said, your universe group is very large, several times larger than mine.

Such a large cluster of universes, and I want to help you completely control such a large cluster of universes, which requires a huge investment of manpower and time.

"But I'm sorry, my current Dragon Star Empire doesn't have that much energy or time."

When he spoke last, Zhao Chen had a slight smile on his face.

"It's not just these things; this is just the first step in our collaboration."

I didn't finish telling you about our universe cluster earlier.

Our universe cluster is not a single interstellar civilization.

Instead, it is composed of sixteen Venerable Civilizations.

We are just one of them.

And there's another benefit to it if you help us.

As far as I know, you and the Conqueror Civilization are currently at war.

The Conqueror Civilization's fleet has invaded your universe.

And now, the Conqueror Civilization's fleet is also invading our universe.

Engaged in battle with multiple Venerable civilizations.

And I have already received the news.

Once the conqueror civilization has taken over several of our Venerable civilizations, they will send more troops to your universe cluster!

"The situation your Dragon Star Empire will face then will be even worse!"

Conqueror civilization?

Zhao Chen never expected that he would be involved with such an interstellar civilization again.

"Because there are many civilizations in our universe cluster, you should help me take down the Ash Venerable Civilization first, and then we can deal with the other Venerable Civilizations gradually."

Take it one step at a time; you don't need to commit too many troops at the beginning.

Furthermore, I have also made many arrangements in the Ash Venerable Civilization.

It's just that an opportunity is missing.

And you are the opportunity I've been looking for.

I promise.

This deal will be absolutely beneficial to you!

The Ashbringer civilization will also become your most loyal friend.

Princess Mo Qi, the twenty-fifth princess, practically roared these words as she stared intently at Emperor Zhao Chen, the Dragon Emperor.

The two looked at each other.

It's as if you can see into the other person's soul through their body.

After a few moments of silence.

Zhao Chen said calmly, "I would like to hear you give a detailed introduction to the power and civilization of your universe cluster."
