Chapter 1226: Chapter 1080: Hidden Crisis

"Today, I have summoned you mainly for two things..."

A giant, hundreds of kilometers high, sat upon the throne like an eternal Deity, no, his aura was even more vast and powerful than that of spirits... His voice thundered like a storm sweeping over everyone.

"The first matter is to decide on the leading commander for the counterattack..."

"The second matter is to temporarily suspend the position of the head of the Royal Science Academy..."

Fang Xi felt a stir in his heart.

The head of the Royal Science Academy, seemed to also be a Black Hole Immortal?

He watched dispassionately as ministers stepped forward to speak, with the thinking speed of these Immortals, the meeting progressed extremely fast.

Even Susanna quietly tried to win him over through secret communications.

"Kaya... I know you are wholeheartedly devoted to research, even choosing the lowest rank of the Gaia Series for breakthroughs..."

"There’s an opportunity now; Father Emperor wishes to purge the Royal Science Academy and promote new people... I am also on the research path, and I have been confirmed to enter the Royal Science Academy and hold a certain position... I hope you can become my assistant."

Fang Xi glanced over and saw Susanna looking back at him with sincerity.

For the scientists of the Lanicanian Empire, even if they couldn’t enter the Royal Science Academy, becoming an assistant to one of the academicians and occasionally using the Empire’s most cutting-edge equipment and laboratory environment was quite good too.

He pondered for a moment, his gaze inadvertently swept across, and again he noticed the figure of a stately prince.

This prince wore a purple-golden double-breasted long coat, handsome in appearance, with an implicit pressure all around him, also a Neutron Immortal!

’Sixth Prince—Wolf?’

Fang Xi quickly connected him with a certain impression and then grew increasingly solemn.

’There’s a hint of Reincarnation about him?’

’The depths of the Royal Family... truly quite profound...’

With this thought, Fang Xi, who was still somewhat tempted, decided on the spot to stick to his original plan and stay away from trouble.

He directly declined the offer, "Sorry... Sister 367, I only wish to obtain a peaceful environment."

Hearing this, Susanna frowned, she had analyzed before and felt that there was a great hope for this recruitment, especially since it aligned with his goals.

But for some reason, it still failed.

Fang Xi seemed detached, his mind racing.

’Prince Wolf Phoenix, a Neutron Star Immortal, also a strong contender for the Cosmic Emperor...’

’Why would he have a hint of Reincarnation about him?’

’No, saying it’s Reincarnation seems too weak, and it somewhat resembles the nature of Soul Possession...’

’So, it’s a possessed fetus?’

’Has there been a flaw in the royal trials of the Phoenix clan’s infants, exploited by someone to insert a spy?’

This part of the Big Thousand World seemed to have little concept of Reincarnation, after all, it lacked talent in Law Comprehension.

Thus, even a Black Hole Immortal might not notice Wolf’s oddity.

Unfortunately for him, he met Fang Xi, a Black Hole Immortal walking the path of Reincarnation Rule, naturally sensing something off about Wolf.

’Could his involvement with the Cosmic Wonders weapon used by the Insect race?’

’What exactly is his background? A rebel from within the human race? Under the command of one of the eight Great Cosmic Sea Pirate Emperors? Insect race? Or Star beasts?’

’Emperor Star doesn’t seem too safe anymore...’

While Fang Xi was pondering, His Imperial Majesty the Emperor made the final summary, "Let it be arranged thus... You may all leave, and do not disappoint me again!"

In his words, there seemed to carry a distinct admonishment!

Fang Xi followed the crowd and bowed, then exited the Bronze Palace.

He saw each minister enter their Spaceship, trailing flames of different colors as they left.

He reflected on the previous meeting’s outcomes and found it quite interesting.

The imperial meeting went quickly, with the selection of the counterattack leader decided upon—a Black Hole Immortal would lead, with the Sixth Prince Zorro as his deputy.

Sato also got involved, obtaining a pioneer position.

Some unfortunate princes and princesses were even directly conscripted into the military, but Fang Xi was not among them.

The second matter regarding the suspension of the head of the Royal Science Academy also progressed smoothly, with Susanna and Wolf brought into the Academy to oversee subsequent investigations.

Fang Xi smelled a hint of an impending storm.

’I initially wanted to display some inventions, to enter the Royal Science Academy...’

’But now, with Wolf there, it has simply become a land of controversy... The Emperor intended to use the princes and princesses for investigation or even power usurpation, yet he didn’t realize that one prince had already become a treacherously loyal person... If this was the plan from the start, then the arrangement would indeed be very thorough and long-term...’

Chilled by this realization, he boarded his own Spaceship.

"Your Highness..."

Wenger bowed, his demeanor seemingly even more respectful than before.

After all, Fang Xi was now a Red giant Immortal.

’The difference between the strong and the weak is the same everywhere...’

Fang Xi lay on the sofa and spoke, "I’m planning to go to the ’Cancer Galaxy’ to cultivate..."

In the Cancer Galaxy, there was a famous Neutron Star, remodeled by the Empire into an environment very suitable for the cultivation breakthroughs of Red giant Immortals.

Indeed!

For Red giant Immortals seeking cultivation breakthroughs, it was best to directly cultivate on a Neutron Star!

Of course, such cultivation was exceptionally dangerous, even for Red giant Immortals, hence it was distinguished by distance.

Find the most suitable distance, then delve deeper.

Initially, he cultivated on the surface of the Neutron Star, but eventually, he might need the high-pressure environment of the Neutron Star Core!

For Fang Xi, as long as he comprehended the "Law of Pressure," he could silently guide his transformation.

However, today’s meeting immediately gave him a sense of urgency, and he felt that he should strengthen his power as soon as possible.

"Cancer Galaxy..."

Wenger was incredibly surprised, "Your Highness... the probability of breaking through to a Neutron Star Immortal in the Gaia Series is less than one in a hundred thousand."

This was also the disadvantage of choosing the low-equipped path—the further upward he wanted to break through, the more remote his hopes became.

A skyscraper rises from the ground. Without a solid foundation, this was naturally the result.

Wenger actually thought, like the other princes and princesses, that Fang Xi was following a scientific research path.

After quickly advancing to the Red giant level, he would immediately switch to scientific research, enter the laboratory, and produce certain results.

Then, gain the favor of His Majesty the Emperor and be selected to enter the Royal Science Academy... receiving massive investments in this field, which was the only way he might ascend to a Neutron Star Immortal in the future!

"I know... go and prepare."

Fang Xi waved his hand.

He planned to use external forces, taking a two-pronged approach, to break through to Neutron Star Immortal as soon as possible.

As long as he went there, the probability of a breakthrough was one hundred percent.

But this kind of thing was utterly incomprehensible to outsiders.

However, it didn’t matter. When the time came to reveal his grasp of the "Pressure Concept," he could explain this puzzle.

"Besides, cultivating in the Cancer neutron star requires guarantees and a large amount of money..."

Wenger began calculating again.

Of course, the Empire wouldn’t play the generous benefactor, opening the Neutron Star for Red giant-level Immortals to come and cultivate.

Otherwise, wouldn’t that be cultivating talents for the eight Pirate Emperors and the rebel forces?

There would certainly be qualification certification!

However, as a prince, Fang Xi naturally wouldn’t be hindered in this regard and could definitely pass.

Besides that, there were the costs of renting the cultivation site.

In any case, it would definitely be much more than the resources needed for breaking through to a Red giant!

"I don’t need to buy cultivation resources for now, mainly just the rental costs... I plan to take a loan from the Royal Bank in the name of a prince,"

Fang Xi smiled. This was a privilege he obtained after ascending to the Red giant level.

As a guarantee with his own credit, take a loan from the Royal Bank.

For Fang Xi, this type of advance consumption was quite good, saving a lot of time.

"This... although the Royal Bank does offer low-interest loans, if you can’t pay them back..."

Wenger wanted to say that even princes could not owe debts to the Royal Bank, after all, it involved shares from the Emperor and even countless royal ancestors!

...

Black Element Continent.

The territory of the Lanicanian Empire was vast beyond compare, with external enemies like the Insect race and Star beasts.

Internally, there were also the Eight Emperors of the Cosmic Sea and countless Interstellar Pirates.

The Black Element Continent was the largest hotbed for pirate loot.

The diameter of this continent was several light-years, and its technological level was comparable to that of Emperor Star.

Besides that, it also contained countless forbidden breakthrough objects.

Decadence, bloodthirst, disorder...

One could say all the dark aspects of cosmic civilization could be found on this continent.

Boom!

A tiger-shaped spaceship flew over the Black Element Continent and slowly stopped on a floating island in mid-air.

The cabin door opened, and "Blood Emperor" Hu You stepped out first, followed by his first mate, second mate, and Intelligence Captain Misha, among others...

"Hu You..."

Above the Floating Island, there were four auras similar to his, like black holes scattering terror.

"The Super Beast Pirate Group has also arrived, good..."

A figure shrouded in darkness, seated on a pitch-black throne, spoke.

He was "Shadow Emperor" Nick, his race and origins unknown to anyone, but his "Shadow Pirate Group," masterful in assassinations, ranged far and wide across the Cosmic Sea.

Besides that, there was also Bodde of the "Bloodhand Pirate Group," Rebitt of the "Holy Grail Pirate Group," and Brittani of the "Empress Pirate Group"...

The Eight Pirate Emperors of the Cosmic Sea were all at the Black Hole Immortal level!

"Five of the Cosmic Sea Eight Emperors have arrived, what a grand scene... It seems the universe is about to turn upside down. Why haven’t the other three houses shown up?"

"Hu You, aren’t you pretending to be ignorant?"

Nick scoffed, "The Phoenix Pirate Group is run by a failed generation of the Phoenix clan... The other two pirate groups also have ambiguous relationships with the Empire’s Intelligence Department. To some extent, those three pirate groups are people of the Lanicanian Empire!"

"It seems the target has been set, to plunder Emperor Star?"

Hu You revealed a ferocious and bloodthirsty smile, "I like it..."
