From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 480: A Great Change Unseen in a Century
"Salih, the way you speak now sounds like a devil who seduces people."

"If you go by your preference, Amber, wouldn't 'succubus' be more appropriate?"

"?"

Seeing that this serious conversation was about to go off track, Amber immediately asked, "So why are you telling me all this?"

"No reason. This has nothing to do with me, right? I'm just giving you suggestions from your perspective." Salih looked calm, but there was still a serious and firm tone in her words.

"Amber, since you have put me under the 'mental shackles', you naturally know what I am thinking. To be honest, no matter what this universe becomes in the end, it is not important to me. In the final analysis, I am just a poor person who should have died a million years ago but did not die in the end. Because of this, all my thoughts now are from your perspective and standpoint."

Amber: "But what you said always gives me the illusion of wearing a yellow robe and conquering the universe."

Saleh shook her head: "It's not an illusion, this is what I mean."

"."

Before Amber could say anything, she heard the Jeram man continue, "Based on what I learned about the current human society after I woke up with the help of the Atlas database, when a major crisis really occurs, it is completely unrealistic to put hope that 'humanity will unite'. The greater probability is that they will block each other in front of each other and become the last to die."

Salih's words made it basically impossible for Amber to refute. After all, given the current irreconcilable situation between the Federation and the Empire, as well as the various internal conflicts between them, if there was a big mess, it might really turn into the situation Salih described.

The Jeram man did not stop, but continued to speak his mind: "But now I see a new possibility in you and Atlas. With the resources you have now, if you continue to develop steadily, it will not be an impossible task to control the entire human society.

Not to mention that you also have a close relationship with some elves, which lays the foundation for your future involvement in the Thousand Star Empire. This also means that before the "bad news" arrives, Amber, you may be able to accomplish the great feat of integrating the power of humans and elves."

"No, where do you get this confidence from? Don't flatter me to death."

Saleh's words made Amber a little flustered. This was the first time he was praised like this, not to mention such a tough job as "unifying all mankind".

"Because I can see it."

This pioneer who had awakened from millions of years of hibernation spoke with great difficulty, as if something invisible was preventing her from speaking.

After she said this, her whole body seemed to have broken, and she fell on the table for a long time before she recovered.

Looking at Saleh who was trying to prop herself up with both hands, Amber asked with some concern: "Saleh, are you okay? If you really can't say it, don't say it. I don't want you to faint like this."

"It's okay, but I really can't say any more. Amber, I hope you can think about what I said, because this may be your last chance."

After finishing the last sentence with difficulty, Saleh apologized to Amber and ended the call.

As the conference room quieted down again, Amber leaned back in her chair and began to think about what Saleh had just said. "Unite all of humanity? And the elves? That's too much of a 'radical' statement."

If Amber was skeptical about Saleh's remarks about "timeline" and "bad news" before, then after several conversations, especially the other party's "life-threatening" performance just now, he had to start taking the words of this pioneer seriously.

At this moment, Lilith's voice suddenly sounded in Amber's ears. During the encrypted communication with Saleh just now, Amber did not deliberately block Lilith, so the latter also watched the whole communication between the two.

"Master, I think what this sister said makes sense, and it's not really a 'radical statement'."

"Hey, you can still call me 'sister'?"

You see, no matter what the circumstances, Amber's focus is always so unconventional.

"She's already one or two million years old. I'm happy to call her sister~"

After realizing that he had been led astray by Amber, the strong artificial intelligence appeared in front of Amber with his hands on his hips with the help of the holographic projection equipment in the conference room.

"Master! You're changing the subject again!"

Amber raised her hands in surrender and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, then I'd like to hear what you have to say~"

"Master, this is not some brilliant or outrageous opinion, but a prediction based on the current situation and a large amount of intelligence, information, and data."

Lilith put on a serious expression for once, and then spoke word by word, "This is truly a 'great change that has not happened in a century', and the probability that Master and Atlas will have the last laugh in this 'great change' is very high!"

Seeing that Amber didn't speak but listened to her seriously, Lilith continued:
“Although the overall strength of our Atlas is only at the enterprise level at the moment and cannot compete head-on with the Federation or the Star Dragon Empire, they have to admit that the current Atlas is no longer an easy target.

Moreover, we can be said to have huge, even generational advantages in many technical areas. I will not brag about our technologies in artificial intelligence and unmanned units, as you, Master, are very familiar with them.

Even in the research and development of conventional ships and weapons and equipment, we have certain advantages. Although I don't know how you did it, Master, I must admit that the companies that we acquired earlier at your request have now demonstrated sufficient potential and are ahead of the Federation and the Empire in terms of technological development.

If Atlas is not currently big enough, I don’t know how we could lose.”

"Wait, you've opened too much champagne," Amber interrupted Lilith helplessly. He found that as time went by, Lilith had become the biggest 'champagne boss' in Atlas.

"No, no, no, Master, you are just too conservative."

Lilith floated in front of Amber and shook her slender fingers like white onions. She said seriously, "You have always been thinking about taking steady steps, so you don't realize how big an advantage we have gained so far. Just like Sister Saleh said, if there is anyone who can unite humans and elves, it will only be you."
