Chapter 892 582: The Great Cold Silence

On Earth, it's nighttime.

Lu Li had just finished having dinner with Liu Kexin, and she had gone off to take a shower.

Suddenly, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, the phone rang.

Lu Li sat on the sofa without moving, and the phone automatically floated to his ear and connected, "Old Gu, what's up?"

Gu Wei reported truthfully: "Mr. Lu, today two Martial Immortal Race members came to find me, asking for help to introduce them to visit you, but I refused them, saying they're not qualified."

Lu Li responded with a "Hmm," "Alright, I know."

Actually, Lu Li knew even without Gu Wei telling him.

Gu Wei asked: "Next time the Cosmic Emperor Nuazai comes and looks for you, should I bring him to see you?"

Lu Li chuckled lightly, "He won't be looking for me soon. You focus on your own business first, if he really comes to find you, then bring him over to me. Whether he gets to meet me depends on my mood at the time."

Gu Wei sounded a bit confused, "The Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall is under the threat of iron-based life forms and facing imminent danger, and he wouldn't come looking yet?"

Lu Li said knowingly, "There are things you don't understand. The Martial Hero Race could develop to a Level Four civilization, they're not as simple as they appear on the surface. Take this iron-based life form disaster for example, on the surface, the Martial Hero Race seems to have even used the 'Vacuum Decay' weapon but still couldn't make any restrictions; it appears as if the Martial Hero Race is powerless. But do you really believe that a Level Four civilization's most powerful weapon is limited to a 'Vacuum Decay' weapon?"

Gu Wei seemed to understand something, "The Martial Hero Race has an even more powerful weapon unused?"

Lu Li replied, "That's right, the Martial Hero Race does have a comparatively powerful weapon, which in a certain sense makes the Martial Hero Race invincible in the cosmos, apart from facing me."

...

Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall.

Hercules Star, Northern Hemisphere, Cosmic Emperor Nuazai was working in his office.

These days, he was practically tormented, with iron-based life forms invading the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall, wreaking havoc across various star systems, and one system had already been half destroyed in its civilization.

One star system might be nothing to the massive celestial structure of the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall.

For example, the Laniakea Supercluster, belonging to the Milky Way Galaxy, spans a massive 520 million light-years and contains over one hundred thousand star systems.

The Laniakea Supercluster, with a diameter of 520 million light-years, possesses such a vast number of star systems, let alone the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall, which spans a staggering 10 billion light-years.

The Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall holds over a billion star systems!

Thus, from a numerical standpoint, whether or not a single star system is destroyed is practically nothing to the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall.

While this is true, the destruction of half a civilization within a star system, when spread to other system civilizations within the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall, creates panic among their intelligent life forms and races.

An absolute impossibility!

Nuazai could confirm this and indeed received the news; the billions of star systems under his rule were all in a state of panic, and some system leaders with certain ideas had also begun to stir.

While he tried his best to calm the populace, he must also be wary of those system leaders wanting to take advantage of the chaos, leading to exhaustion and turmoil.

Panic and system leaders with unruly ideas were one thing.

Nuazai could temporarily appease and suppress these.

The other thing is that the iron-based life forms have the ability to open wormholes at any time, and who knows what their next target will be?

What if they arrive at the star system base camp of the Martial Hero Race?

Nuazai had sent out troops to fight the iron-based life forms.

For instance, when "The Annihilator" invaded the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall, he attempted to eliminate them but ultimately suffered a crushing defeat.

Even the "Vacuum Decay" weapon couldn't restrain that monster, let alone try to eliminate the larger "Emperor".

"If the iron-based life forms do not leave the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall sooner, the entire celestial body might get destroyed, it's only a matter of time."

Nuazai understood this thoroughly, but unfortunately, he truly had no power to stop it.

Suddenly, the communication signal light on the desk lit up, indicating an interstellar video call coming through.

Nuazai lazily reached out to press connect.

In front of him, a virtual screen rose.

The figure of Paimon, the diplomat stationed at the Laniakea Supercluster, emerged on the screen.

Paimon immediately knelt on one knee, placing one hand at chest level, speaking with utmost respect: "Great King, Paimon pays his respects to you."

Upon seeing the caller was Paimon, Nuazai couldn't help but show both happiness and tension on his face.

He knew that the technology of the Hercules Race couldn't annihilate those iron-based life forms, but that didn't mean there was no one in the cosmos who could.

Indeed, as Nuazai saw it, as long as Lu Li was willing to act, the iron-based life forms would be nothing, and Paimon was the person he had earlier sent to Earth to invite Lu Li.

Naturally, he felt both happy and tense upon receiving Paimon's call.

Happy that finally, news from Earth had arrived.

Tension arose as Nuazai still didn't know if Lu Li was willing to come forward and assist them.

Nuazai directly asked, "So, did the Land God agree to help us through this crisis?"

Paimon replied with a bitter smile, "Sunset and I have not seen the Land God."
