I have an all-knowing mirror

Chapter 148 Each with their own plans
On the border of the human empire in the Canglan universe lies a desolate star field that has yet to be explored.

A massive space exploration ship cautiously navigated this star system, maintaining a speed close to the speed of light, daring not to attempt faster-than-light travel.

At faster-than-light speeds, the spaceship would enter the dark universe, which is not necessarily safe.

Especially in the unexplored, desolate star regions, in the dark universe, there might be some terrifying life form lurking there.

Moreover, when exploring desolate star regions, the most important thing is exploration. Entering the dark universe, one can instantly traverse tens or hundreds of light-years. What else is there to explore?
"This desolate star field remains unexplored."

The captain of the space exploration spacecraft stared at the detection screen, then suddenly his expression changed. "What's that?"

At the far end of the exploration screen, the faint outline of a planet could be seen.

"Planet?"

The captain was overjoyed; encountering a planet while exploring the desolate star field was a good thing.

Whether it's a resource planet or a life-bearing planet, they can all fetch a price. If it's a resource planet containing special and precious resources, then their exploration will be incredibly lucrative.

"Head towards that planet's trajectory and immediately explore the surrounding space layer."

The captain immediately gave the order.

after an hour.

The space exploration spacecraft arrived not far from this planet.

"A completely black planet?"

The captain immediately dispatched robots to land on the planet to investigate.

Not long after.

The robot then brought back a lot of information and intelligence.

"This planet contains a large amount of black crystals? These black crystals are called Source Sand Crystals, which are of no use to human cultivators but are divine objects of the Source Spirit Clan?"

The captain looked at the dark planet not far away, his brow furrowed.

Useless to human cultivators? A divine object from another race? This is not a good thing.

Furthermore, the Canglan Universe Human Empire has long stipulated that if valuable resources are encountered during exploration, they must be reported in a timely manner.

"Take some Source Sand Crystals and go back."

After a moment's thought, the captain decided to return immediately and report the matter to the imperial authorities.

As for concealing it and secretly trading with the Source Spirit Clan?
The risk is too great. Do they really think the spacecraft's detection and monitoring equipment is blind?

Each time an exploration team returns, its exploration and detection equipment is inspected to prevent the team from keeping any of its spoils for themselves.

Furthermore, trading with other races is inherently risky. Why would the Yuanling Clan obediently trade with him? The more likely scenario is that they would devour him along with the goods.

Two days later.

The spacecraft returned safely.

At the same time, the information about the large amount of source sand crystals was also reported.

Blue Star, Arctic Continent.

Su Yuan sat cross-legged inside the warship, his mind constantly reviewing the details of the upcoming local war between the Canglan Universe Human Empire and the Yuanling Clan.

"This localized war, ostensibly caused by Yuansha Star, is actually a sting operation orchestrated by high-ranking strategists within the Empire."

Su Yuan thought to himself silently.

In the last million years, the Yuanling race has produced two saints.

This has drawn considerable attention from the Canglan Universe Human Empire. The empire's strategists have begun to devise plans to weaken the Source Spirit Clan, such as by eliminating one of their Saints.
The appearance of source sand star is an excellent opportunity.

"Source Sand Crystals? A planet composed of a large number of Source Sand Crystals?"

Upon learning of this, the powerful members of the Origin Spirit Clan were extremely surprised. As a divine object of the Origin Spirit Clan, even a fist-sized Origin Sand Star was enough to cause a group of powerful members of the Origin Spirit Clan to break their heads.

What's more, the source sand crystals that make up almost an entire planet?
"This intelligence."

The powerful members of the Yuanling Clan examined the source of the intelligence.

As a powerful race in the universe, the Source Spirit Clan's territory borders the Cosmic Human Empire, so naturally they have spies planted within the Cosmic Human Empire.

This message was leaked by a spy.

"These photos and videos should be genuine."

The powerful member of the Yuanling Clan watched the video several times. Even through the video, the black planet exuded an aura that captivated him.

Source Sand Crystals are related to the evolution of the Source Spirit Clan, who have an unusual ability to sense the former.

"Report this matter immediately."

The powerful members of the Yuanling Clan realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly relayed this information to the clan's higher-ups.

A secluded paradise isolated from the outside world.

Dozens of enormous figures, exuding an aura like that of stars, stood silently there.

Higher up sat a figure shrouded in gray mist, his gaze deep and unfathomable, as if containing a universe, looking down at the dozens of star-like figures below.

"I've shown you the photos and videos," the figure in the gray mist said calmly.

"That black planet in the video does indeed contain a large amount of source sand crystals; I can sense it," said a figure as large as a planet. "With so many source sand crystals gathered together, it's highly likely that a source sand core has been born."

As soon as these words came out.

A sense of longing welled up in the hearts of all the stars on the field.

The Source Sand Heart is an essential item for powerful members of the Source Spirit Clan to advance from stellar life forms to cosmic saints.

Every stellar life form on the field yearns to obtain the Source Sand Heart, hoping to break through its shackles and become a cosmic saint.

"We still need to be careful; this might be a message deliberately released by the Human Empire," the Origin Eldar Star Lifeform remained rational.

"Regardless of whether this news was deliberately released by the Human Empire, the planet in the video composed of a large amount of source sand crystals is real."

Another stellar life form from the Origin Spirit race spoke up.

“Let’s see if we can trade with the Human Empire and obtain that Source Sand Star through normal transactions,” suggested a Source Spirit Race stellar lifeform.

"Agree."

"Let's make a deal first and see what the human empire's attitude is."

Many other Source Spirit Star Lifeforms spoke in succession.

They would naturally be unwilling to fight to the death with the human empire unless absolutely necessary.

"I have already contacted the royal family of the Human Empire in the Canglan Universe. They want the Origin Crystal of my Origin Spirit Clan before they are willing to trade for that Origin Sand Star."

The figure in the gray mist, seated at the highest point, spoke.

"The Crystal of Origin?"

"What arrogance! Has the Human Empire gone mad?"

"The Crystal of Origin is the foundation of our Origin Spirit Clan. Does he want to go there?"

"Are you kidding me?"

One by one, the star-like beings of the Origin Spirit race were enraged.

No matter how much they yearn to become cosmic saints, they would never be willing to trade away their clan's primordial crystals.

"I neither refused nor agreed to this matter."

The figure in the gray mist at the highest point spoke up: "Next, I plan to mobilize troops in the border region to contain the Canglan Universe Human Empire."

"And you, nine of you, infiltrated the territory of the human empire, attempting to secretly take away that Origin Sand Star."

After the figure in the gray mist finished speaking, it paused for a moment and continued, "The connection between the Source Sand Crystal and space is extremely deep, comparable to the Source Sand Star, a planet? Without the secret techniques of my Source Spirit Clan, even a cosmic saint would not be able to move it."

"So that Source Sand Star should still be there, at most surrounded by powerful human beings. As long as you approach secretly and use your clan's secret techniques, you can take Source Sand Star away."

The figure in the gray mist said, "I promise that whoever brings back the Source Sand Star will have priority in exchanging the Source Sand Core contained within."

"I go."

"I'll go as well."

One by one, the stellar beings of the Source Spirit race volunteered to serve.

Although infiltrating the territory of the human empire in secret is very dangerous, how could one obtain the Source Sand Heart and become a cosmic saint without taking any risks?
And which of the Source Spirit Clan powerhouses on the field, who could become a stellar life form, didn't have enough means to protect themselves?

"Row."

"Just the nine of you."

The figure in the gray mist nodded and selected nine of the most skilled at survival, escape, and concealment from among the many volunteering Source Spirit Star Lifeforms.

"I will be on the front lines to keep the human empire's attention at bay as much as possible. You should also be careful."

The figure in the gray mist gave instructions.

"Yes."

"no problem."

The nine Origin Spirit Race stellar beings all nodded in agreement.

"Go down."

The figure in the gray mist waved.

Many of the Source Spirit Clan stellar lifeforms on the field departed. A long time later...

The figure in the gray mist suddenly spoke: "What do you think?"

With a whoosh, a phantom figure materialized out of thin air.

This illusory figure possessed an incredibly profound aura, as if it contained a vast universe.

"There's a greater than 70% chance that the news about Yuansha Star was deliberately leaked by the Human Empire to lure our race away."

The illusory figure spoke.

"I know."

The figure in the gray mist nodded.

Given the isolation capabilities of the human empire's virtual network world, if they wanted to block news from Source Sand Star, there's absolutely no way they could have found out so quickly.

"But the source of the sand is real."

The figure in the gray mist sighed, "If we can obtain that Origin Sand Star, our race should be able to give birth to another Saint."

This is the overt strategy of human empires.

Lay out the entire layout on the table.

It all depends on whether your Yuanling Clan comes or not.

Not coming?

We missed out on a future saint?
Come?
They are highly likely to fall into the trap of the human empire.

"Among the saints of my race, you possess the strongest ability to preserve your life. This time, I will use the border army as a front and nine stellar lifeforms as the core. The real task of taking that Source Sand Star still depends on you."

The gray mist figure looked at the illusory figure.

"I see."

The illusory figure nodded, very confident in his ability to survive. The human empire was using Source Sand Star as bait, wasn't it just giving the Source Spirit Clan an opportunity?

"As long as we can take that Source Sand Star, it will be worth it even if we lose nine stellar lives."

The figure in the gray mist spoke.

The implication is that the illusory figure should prioritize protecting itself and taking away the Source Sand Star.

"it is good."

The illusory figure spoke.

It then vanished from the spot.

The figure in the gray mist sat at the highest point, falling into silence.

"The Vast Universe Human Empire"

The figure in the gray mist was lost in thought. The biggest trump card of the Source Spirit Clan in this operation was that illusory figure. The illusory figure was a Saint, and a Saint who was extremely good at preserving his life.

With him around, the possibility of the Source Spirit Clan taking Source Spirit Star is still very high.

As for failure? Even if they fail, they will only lose a few stellar lives, which is a price the Source Spirit Race can easily afford compared to the gains.

The virtual world, personal space.

"The Source Spirit Clan has deployed troops on the border."

Su Yuan saw the news very quickly.

The fact that the Yuanling Clan was amassing troops on the border could not be concealed and caused quite a stir on the virtual network of the Canglan Universe Human Empire.

It involves imperial wars, and I wonder how many citizens are paying attention.

This matter has recently been discussed by many citizens of the Empire on Earth.

"Everything is just an appearance."

Su Yuan could see the matter very clearly through the gray mirror.

In fact, the imperial high command and the Yuanling clan high command were also very clear about this matter.

"Hmm? Tega Akane has applied to come in?"

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face; he had been waiting specifically for Tega Chiyun.

Tega Akakumo is the son of the Akakumo clan patriarch.

Not long ago, Tega Chiyun approached Su Yuan, asking him to help him pass the family's test.

As for the reward, it is the Yin-Yang Blood Pool.

Later, Tega Red Cloud also searched for Su Yuan several times.

Tega Chiyun received Su Yuan's advice and strategy, and Su Yuan also received the reward he wanted.

The cooperation between the two parties was quite pleasant.

"You're allowed in."

With a slight thought, Su Yuan conjured up the figure of Tega Red Cloud not far away.

Su Yuan naturally already knew Teka Chiyun's purpose from the gray mirror.

Even the reason why Su Yuan chose to accept Tega Chiyun's friend request in the first place was partly due to today's circumstances.

"Mr. Ming."

Upon seeing Su Yuan, Tega Chiyun immediately spoke with a slightly respectful tone.

With each encounter, Tega Akane felt more and more that Su Yuan was unfathomable.

The other party's strategies for him had never failed him; such strategic prowess terrified Tega Akane.

That is why, when Tega Akane faced a turning point that would determine his future, the first person he thought of was Su Yuan.

"Ah."

Su Yuan looked at Tega Chiyun and nodded with a smile.

"I wonder if Mr. Ming is aware of the recent events concerning the Source Spirit Clan?"

Tega Red Cloud immediately spoke up.

"Know something."

Su Yuan nodded.

"The Source Spirit Clan has deployed troops on the border. The Empire has ordered my Crimson Cloud Clan to guard the corresponding star field to prevent the Source Spirit Clan from secretly sending powerful individuals to infiltrate."

Tega Chiyun began, "The task my family entrusted to me is to guard this star field."

As Tega Chiyun spoke, he brought up a star map and marked a small area on it.

It is both a mission and a test for the family to have him guard this star field. If Tega Chiyun can complete the task perfectly, he will have a chance to compete for the position of clan leader based on this achievement.

That's why Tega Akane found Su Yuan immediately.

"You want me to help you guard the area?"

Su Yuan said.

"Correct."

Tega Red Cloud nodded.

In fact, the star field that his family had him guard was not very large, and the chances of a powerful member of the Origin Spirit Clan infiltrating it were very low.

But Tega Red Cloud is afraid.

What if?
What if the star field he was guarding happened to be infiltrated by a powerful member of the Origin Spirit Clan, and he failed to detect it, or let that Origin Spirit Clan member escape?

Wouldn't the family be in trouble if they evaluated them afterwards?

"I am willing to pay 1 billion Canglan coins to ask Mr. Ming for help with the arrangements."

"Tega Red Cloud said in a low voice."

One billion Canglan coins is not a lot, but the probability of this happening is also not high. It is very likely that from beginning to end, no Yuanling Clan powerhouses have ever infiltrated the star field guarded by Tega Chiyun.

Tega Chiyun spent 1 billion mainly to buy peace of mind.

"Row."

Su Yuan nodded.

Tega Chiyun felt that the territory he guarded was unlikely to be infiltrated by powerful members of the Origin Spirit Clan.

However, Su Yuan knew that a month later, a Source Spirit Clan stellar life form would infiltrate the area.

This stellar life form of the Source Spirit Clan was a pawn that Su Yuan wanted to use to achieve his goals.

In this imperial war.

The imperial leadership has its own plans.

The Source Spirit Clan also has its own plans.

Su Yuan was also secretly plotting.
