Chapter 1 Colonization Star

In a star sector of the explored universe, on a colonized planet of a galaxy-level civilization.

Inside a rented temporary base, the upper echelons of the Silver Revolutionary Army were gathered, most with gloomy expressions.

"Although the competition for the Shining World has stirred up the galactic situation, the efficiency with which we propagate our tenets has fallen far short of expectations. One might even say progress has stagnated, that we can barely move forward."

The current Silver Revolutionary leader, Edmund, frowned deeply.

Originally, the Silver Revolutionary Army had anticipated the conflicts of the Shining World and wanted to take advantage of the tumultuous times to strengthen their ranks. However, although the conflict had erupted, spreading their ideas had not been as easy as they had imagined.

A man wearing glasses adjusted them and said, "According to research, the popularity of the Three Great Civilizations across the universe is 1174.1% higher than the predictions of our mathematical model... In other words, the Three Great Civilizations are more popular than predicted during this period. The turmoil in the Shining World should have allowed interstellar citizens to once again see the domineering nature of the Three Great Civilizations in maintaining their ruling positions, but it did not significantly worsen the image of the Three Great Civilizations as predicted."

"How could this be?"

"According to calculations, the root cause of the deviation in reality lies in the sudden outbreak of the Intelligent Plague incident some time ago... This disaster frightened countless interstellar citizens, and the response measures of the Three Great Civilizations were very timely. It only took about half a year to resolve this highly threatening universe-level crisis, allowing interstellar citizens to see the executive power of the Three Great Civilizations in power, and thus winning the hearts of the people.

Black Star played an important role in this. It can be said that if Black Star had not made outstanding contributions, and if the ambitions of the Machinery Country (xie guo) had not attracted hatred, the Three Great Civilizations would have lost a large wave of popular support in the Shining World conflict. But now their base is very stable."

Hearing this, the Silver Revolutionary Army's upper echelons couldn't help but reveal bitter expressions.

The Shining World conflict was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for development, but now it seemed that this opportunity would no longer meet their expectations, with the effect being at least 90% lower than previously estimated.

Without this opportunity, everyone immediately felt that the future was bleak. Many secretly lamented their misfortune, complaining that the Intelligent Plague had ruined their plans and deprived them of favorable timing and circumstances.

What they didn't know was that in his previous life, the Intelligent Plague had been an important event for their rise, but now, due to the butterfly effect caused by Black Star, it had become a huge obstacle to their development.

Edmund turned his head to look at the dignified woman leaning against the sofa not far away and asked,

"Mentor, what do you think?"

Everyone eagerly looked over. Although everyone present was a high-ranking member, they all understood in their hearts that Loserin was the spiritual pillar among them.

Loserin shook her wine glass, a half-smile on her face as she swept her gaze over the crowd, not taking it to heart. "Since development is hindered, then we'll just take it slowly. People's hearts are like smoke, unpredictable. Today's support has the same opportunity to turn into animosity in the future. Be patient."

"This…" someone hesitated, "Do you have no way to solve this problem either?"

Hearing this, Loserin covered her mouth and laughed.

"Hehe, do you think I am omnipotent? The general trend dictates that we can only adapt to the trend and continue to lie low. What can one person change?"

Saying that, Loserin stood up, walked in front of everyone, and smiled faintly.

"Anyway, since development is difficult now, I plan to take some time to do something else. Black Star sent me a message not long ago, saying that he needs me to do something for him."

Everyone was immediately taken aback.

"You still have contact with Black Star?" Edmund asked in surprise and suspicion.

"Why not?" Loserin shrugged indifferently. "After all, I was a cadre under him for a while. He didn't stop me from leaving back then. I owe him a favor."

Edmund's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "We are now doing a major thing against the Three Great Civilizations. What kind of person is Black Star? He is an important ally of the Three Great Civilizations. How can you continue to maintain contact with him?!"

"To be precise, it was Black Star who contacted me unilaterally." Loserin didn't take it seriously. "Besides, he already knows what we are going to do. He probably just thinks we're a joke."

Edmund's expression was solemn. He paced back and forth in the room twice, and asked hesitantly, "What does Black Star want you to do?"

"He wants me to go to the Modo Civilization and use my ability to intensify social contradictions." Loserin啧啧 said, "He trusts my abilities quite a bit..."

One of the Silver Revolutionary Army's upper echelons looked surprised. "No way, Black Star wouldn't expose our behavior, let alone instruct you to incite social contradictions in an advanced civilization. Isn't he a great man who cares about the common people?"

Loserin smiled playfully. "How could a magnate who has built such a large foundation in a few decades be as kind as the news says? It's just that he knows how to maintain his image and leaves the dirty work to others, and now it's my turn to do the work..."

After saying that, she left the room without waiting for everyone to answer.

Black Star's request to her was to stir up internal conflicts within the Modo Civilization as much as possible, with the rest left to her discretion. Loserin already had a vague idea of how to proceed. In her view, Modo was originally a federation of three major races, which might be very suitable for planting divisive ideologies.

Speaking of which, she originally intended to revolutionize against the Three Great Civilizations and regard the Super Star Cluster Alliance as a potential supporter, but she didn't expect that she would now have to turn around and revolutionize against a Super Star Cluster Civilization.

Loserin didn't mind this. She was different from most of the Silver Revolutionary Army's upper echelons. She didn't have the conviction that she had to accomplish great things. To her, whether it was dealing with the Three Great Civilizations or the Super Star Cluster Alliance, they were just challenges in her eyes. This antisocial element, who feared nothing more than a stable world, didn't care about adding a temporary opponent.

…

Somewhere in the explored universe, in an asteroid belt, a secret base of the Assassin Alliance.

Ding ding dang dang—

Hundreds of assassin apprentices in training uniforms were practicing in an open-air training ground. The only sound was the clashing of weapons.

On the viewing platform of the training ground, several instructors stood with their arms folded, supervising the apprentices' practice, while Rothell stood at the front, his gaze indifferent.

It had been about twenty years since Han Xiao ordered him to secretly establish the Assassin Alliance. Over the years, he had left a terrifying record as an assassin in the black market, secretly recruited many assassins and assassins, and continued to train new recruits. Now the organization had reached a certain scale.

Beep beep.

Just then, the communicator suddenly rang.

Rothell glanced at it, turned around, and left.

"Stop training, gather all the personnel, prepare the spacecraft, and prepare to depart."

Several cadres put down their hands, looking curious.

"Where are we going?"

"A mission, to Modo."

Rothell was concise, his figure disappearing into the passage.

He had no interest in power and always remembered that the organization he built was a sharp blade hidden in the dark by Black Star, stabbing at the targets Black Star pointed at.

…

Old Star River, within the territory of the Modo Civilization, a secret military base.

Tap tap tap—

Heavy footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the door, slowly approaching.

With a click, the door suddenly opened, and dazzling light shone in, piercing the impenetrable darkness.

A team of soldiers stood at the door. Against the light, only their silhouettes could be seen. The leading officer issued an emotionless voice:

"Transfer Soul Twins, you have a mission."

After the voice fell, there was no response, only dead silence.

However, the silence did not last long. A rustling sound came from a corner that was not illuminated by the light. A humanoid creature shrouded in shadows walked out of the darkness. On his shoulder lay a baby-sized figure, also wrapped in shadows.

Only a pair of blood-red eyes could be seen on both of them, and it was impossible to tell what species they were. Obviously, some kind of mutation had occurred. Only their size could distinguish them.

These two were the Transfer Soul Twins. The one with the normal body shape was the older brother, and the one with the baby-sized body was the younger brother. They looked very strange.

"Modo is allowing us to go out and relax again?" The younger brother on his shoulder spoke, his voice hoarse like an old man about to die.

Seeing the two, the officer said in a deep voice, "Same as usual, immediately follow us onto the ship. You can only come into contact with the Transfer Soul Device at the mission location."

"Hmph, who are you asking us to deal with this time?" The tall figure spoke indifferently, his voice sharp, with a strong sense of resentment.

"Black Star!"

Hearing this name, the twins looked at each other, and a strange fluctuation flashed in their eyes.

There was no tension in their eyes, but rather a hint of excitement and greed, as if they had suddenly discovered a treasure.

At this time, the officer took out a bead containing magical energy and said, "The target this time has predictive abilities. This magic ball is engraved with top-notch magic circuits that conceal aura, which can effectively interfere with and mislead predictive abilities, preventing the other party from accurately predicting details related to you two."

After giving out the magic ball, a group of soldiers immediately stepped forward and escorted the Transfer Soul Twins out of the room. The faces of each soldier were tense, revealing solemnity and fear, and their pace was unconsciously accelerated, obviously wanting to send the Transfer Soul Twins to the spacecraft as soon as possible.

Before contacting the universe wonder called the Transfer Soul Device, the Transfer Soul Twins also possessed considerable danger and were mostly imprisoned.

Although the Transfer Soul Twins' tier was not high, others would experience more and more hallucinations and auditory hallucinations if they were in contact with them for a long time, and their sanity value would continue to decrease.

Perhaps because of this mutation, the twins were the only suitable candidates for the Transfer Soul Device, and both of them had to be present at the same time to activate this special wonder-class universe treasure.

…

At the same time, on the Longtan Floating Island in the Shattered Star Ring, Iso suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with surprise as he looked out the window.

The next moment, Iso directly closed his eyes and activated his ability. His thoughts seemed to pass through dimensions, locking onto the territory of the Modo Civilization.

"The alert comes from the Modo Civilization. What is their strange behavior? Hmm, it seems that they are using a shielding device. The perception is very vague. I can't see the specific possibilities of the future..."

Iso frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy.
