Chapter 986: Chapter 508: Setting Out

When the Polk Declaration made waves, its name indeed reached the parliament’s desk.

They even spent considerable effort investigating it.

But later, for some unknown reason, this organization seemed to vanish without a trace.

Thereafter, with the emergence of clues about Eternal Silence Star and Holy Castle, and the decline of the Upper House, internal and external troubles increased, the Pioneer gradually became obsolete.

Heckler did not expect to hear this name again, coming from his subordinate’s mouth.

"What illness has this organization caught, why are they suddenly fixated on me," Heckler said angrily.

"The intelligence department speculates that our recent increased activity may have attracted their attention," Yon said softly, "In the Pioneer’s eyes, we and the Empire should be one entity."

Heckler’s face looked gloomier, "Why don’t they interfere with Adam’s plan then?"

Yon remained silent.

Heckler’s expression tightened as he pondered for a moment and then said coldly, "I remember someone once suspected Azure Dragon was one of the Pioneer?"

"There was such speculation, it seemed to be mentioned by some Duke, but it also came to nothing," Yon said softly.

"Is Azure Dragon blocking me?" Heckler’s expression changed.

The Pioneer disappeared for so long, suddenly resurfacing to specifically target his people cannot be a coincidence.

Since Azure Dragon kept Robbin by his side, he must also know about the Holy Castle.

And Ivan’s capture has exposed his target.

Azure Dragon is probably aware he is also searching for Holy Castle, placing them in a competitive relationship, naturally interfering with his actions is very logical.

"Azure Dragon..." A fierce killing intent surfaced in Heckler’s eyes, "Very well, if you are so presumptuous, don’t blame me for making a bigger move."

"Your Highness!" Yon was startled and discreetly reminded, "You told me Azure Dragon is heavily entangled, confronting him directly is not a wise choice."

"Who said I intend to target Azure Dragon?" Heckler sneered, "Holy Castle and Li Ming, I want to see which is more important to him."

"Li Ming?" Hearing this, Yon was slightly moved, understanding Heckler’s intention.

The conflict was intensifying.

Yon realized that when they previously learned Ivan was taking action, Heckler had scolded him as a fool.

Now, even though it’s only targeting Li Ming, it still signifies an escalation of the situation.

Yon reluctantly reminded, "Your Highness, there is still no evidence whether Azure Dragon belongs to the Pioneer or not, if not, won’t we..."

"Whether or not, I will attack Li Ming and trade that Robbin," Heckler’s answer surprised Yon, unsure why His Highness became so impulsive.

"There are reasons you are unaware of, don’t ask," Heckler shook his head.

What gives him a sense of urgency is naturally that corpse.

Firmly controlled by Adam, during the previous engagements, he barely managed to insert a few people.

But he can’t ensure where the research will continue next, or how the research will progress.

Therefore, Holy Castle’s progress must also speed up, once successful, he’ll be capable of taking over the matters of the corpse.

"I understand, I will draft a feasible plan," Yon lowered his head, Heckler glanced at him, "No need, I have already arranged, there’s someone to handle it."

Yon was surprised but also relieved in his heart, it seemed His Highness wasn’t acting impulsively.

"Any news from Eternal Silence Star?" Heckler asked again.

"Not yet, the Deep Dimension World is too dangerous, all belonging to the Holy Emperor, there’s no information that can be transmitted," Yon reluctantly replied.

At this, Heckler restrained his expression, remained silent for a long time, muttering to himself, "Adam, oh Adam, can you really restore the glory of the Holy Emperor..."

...

In the interstellar realm, all kinds of eye-catching news are happening constantly.

And as time passed, the enthusiasm for the Mechanic Association also faded quickly.

However, fading enthusiasm does not equate to reduced intensity.

Instead, a distinct situation almost developed, with the Empire and Federation facilitating the Mechanic Association’s seamless integration into the interstellar alliance.

New rules, new supervisory bodies, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Yet, a part of the civilization headed by the Star Alliance nearly "annihilated" the Mechanic, refusing to acknowledge the Mechanic Association’s status within the interstellar alliance.

These conflicts aren’t particularly fun to watch, more so happening beneath the surface.

More and more people began focusing on another matter—the Dinner at Dusk.

This long-dormant, newly resurrected mega-gala.

Participants are all influential figures with power, often those who have lived for thousands of years, advanced evolutionary bodies.

For a long time, the interstellar realm rarely publicized the existence of advanced evolutionary bodies.

But since the High-level Life Form Union was established, this trend seems to be breaking.

Bloggers chronicling the advanced evolutionary bodies’ life stories emerge one after another.

And as Dinner at Dusk dominates major news headlines, even some participant lists have been leaked.

More and more people have started to become curious and focus on these high-level life forms they’ve never heard of before.

"Wow, does each life form participant have the power to destroy a star?" someone exclaimed in shock after gradually understanding.

"Destroy a star? These people can crush a conventional life planet into dust with just two fingers; by destroying a star, they can easily obliterate a star system."

"Is there still someone unaware of these life forms’ destructive power; hasn’t the Prince of Empire’s massacre event happened just a few years ago?"
