Chapter 910 - 591: It’s Just a Matter of Days

Earth.

Lu Li had been keeping an eye on the situation at the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall.

He personally witnessed the system masters under the rule of the Martial Hero Race leading attacks on the super star cluster where the Hercules Star was located.

War raged on, countless battle robots and cosmic battleships were blasted to pieces, extremely brutal, akin to an apocalypse.

Lu Li had seen interstellar wars before; last time, when the Galaxy Alliance and the Eternal Motion Race were at war, it was quite intense.

However, even though the war between the Galaxy Alliance and the Eternal Motion Race was fierce, their technology always fell short, not as spectacular as the fight between the Martial Hero Race and the rebellious system masters.

Lu Li’s gaze was deep; he could roughly analyze that from the current situation, those rebellious system masters, though numerous, were essentially a disorganized crowd, unlikely to threaten the rule of the Martial Hero Race.

Then again...

Lu Li turned his gaze toward the star realm outside the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall.

Over there, countless grand marshals of advanced civilizations, leading vast fleets of cosmic battleships, were breaking the defenses of the "Star Sea."

Judging by the progress, at most three Earth Days, the outermost defense system of the "Star Sea" would be breached.

Liu Kexin came up from behind, "Honey, what are you thinking about?"

Lu Li said softly, "If nothing goes wrong, Nuazai will come back to ask for my help again in the next couple of days."

"Huh?" Liu Kexin was taken aback, "He just left, why is he coming back so quickly?"

Lu Li replied, "Because the Martial Hero Race is already in dire straits. Although he’s still on the way back, the Martial Hero Race’s advanced technology is bound to receive information about the situation within the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall. This is the current situation; once the outer defense system of the ’Star Sea’ is breached, the information can no longer be sent out. So whether Nuazai can persuade me when he returns is crucial to him."

Liu Kexin pondered, "Is he sure to persuade you this time?"

Lu Li laughed heartily, "Whether he can persuade me doesn’t depend on his eloquence, but on whether I want to help him."

Even if Lu Li wanted to help Nuazai, the other party wouldn’t need to say a word – he would still lend a hand.

If Lu Li didn’t want to help, no matter how Nuazai tried to appeal emotionally or reason earnestly, he wouldn’t leave Earth to assist.

Whether to come out of retirement or not, Lu Li had his own assessment.

When the time is right, he would surely take action.

But if the timing wasn’t right, he wouldn’t take action unless he could help Gu Wei establish sufficient prestige.

Lu Li believed the timing was when the Martial Hero Race was truly on its last legs.

Currently, although the Martial Hero Race was in danger, those advanced civilizations from other celestial bodies hadn’t struck in yet, so it naturally wasn’t desperate.

However, once Nuazai gets back and he stalls for a few more days, that would essentially be it.

This time, Lu Li planned to do something that would shake the entire Cosmos.

Or one could say, make the entire Cosmos live in fear of him.

Fear to the point that even after he leaves this Cosmos, no one would dare to provoke danger.

In this way, his family and friends would be sufficiently safe.

Thinking of this, Lu Li said to Liu Kexin, "I have some matters to discuss with Gu Wei, go play by yourself for a while."

Liu Kexin was very understanding, nodded gently, and said, "Okay, I got it, go ahead."

She took Puer and went elsewhere.

Lu Li reached out a finger and a water mirror appeared in front of him.

On the other side, in the office, Gu Wei happened to look up, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Li nodded, "Back to Beijing?"

Gu Wei put down his pen and document, "Yes, just got back last night."

Lu Li said, "I think you need to take a trip to Gusu."

Gu Wei didn’t ask anything, immediately agreed, "Okay, I’ll call for a driver to take me to the airport now. I should be able to arrive in Gusu before the evening."

Lu Li chuckled, "Aren’t you curious why I’m so eager to find you?"

Gu Wei smiled and replied, "No matter what you find me for, Mr. Lu, I’ll rush over as soon as I can."

It must be said, Gu Wei’s attitude toward people is quite pleasing.

Lu Li liked this about Gu Wei, which is why he considered supporting him to become the "Master of All Stars" and even help him gain enough prestige throughout the Cosmos.

He said, "You don’t need to rush over, wait until Nuazai contacts you, then come over, it’s not too late."

Like Liu Kexin, Gu Wei was momentarily taken aback, "He just left a few days ago and is coming back to find me again?"

Lu Li laughed and shook his head, saying, "More accurately, he’s asking you to bring him to see me. Now, he can’t afford not to hurry. The incident of the ’Great Silence’ erupting inside the Northern Crown and Hercules has spread throughout the Cosmos. Many advanced civilizations, upon learning about this, not only did not feel anger but also sensed the opportunity to pull the Martial Hero Race down from the throne of the most powerful race in the Cosmos. At this moment, they’ve already sent troops over. Although the Martial Hero Race is a level-four civilization, unmatched among all civilizations in the Cosmos, a fierce tiger can’t fight off a pack of wolves. They can’t withstand the joint efforts of all advanced civilizations in the Cosmos, and they can’t last long. So if Nuazai wants to preserve the Martial Hero Race from being exterminated, there’s only one way..."

He didn’t say what the way was, but he believed Gu Wei was smart enough to know what the only way was.

Indeed, Gu Wei’s eyes lit up immediately, "And that is to ask you to come out of retirement, control or eliminate the ’Great Silence,’ and wipe out the iron-based life forms?"

"That’s what Nuazai is thinking," Lu Li confirmed Gu Wei’s words, "but he’s thinking more than you, also hoping I would mediate the conflict, settle the advanced civilizations preparing to attack the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall. After all, by then, victory for those advanced civilizations would be at their fingertips, even if without reasons, or reasons weren’t entirely sufficient, it would be impossible to abandon the attack on the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall, thus losing control over this resource-rich celestial body."
