Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 367 - 368: Advancing to D-Tier Cosmic Level! The Birth of a Star Cluster-level Civilization!

Chapter 367: Chapter 368: Advancing to D-Tier Cosmic Level! The Birth of a Star Cluster-level Civilization!

In the beginning, Gu Qijue was somewhat wary of Han Yiming.

However, after they had cooperated for a period, he basically trusted Han Yiming.

Han Yiming, perhaps, was not entirely loyal to him.

As of now, at least on the surface, the two were still barely at the same level.

But as long as there were no conflicts of interest, Han Yiming was his best helper.

In fact, Han Yiming was highly capable, and entrusting him with the Zhong Han Star Base was not problematic at all.

The planet Chonghan Star and the Ice Seal Star Cluster civilization had fully granted Gu Qijue ownership.

Moreover, the resources within the Glacial Star System were allowed for him to mine freely by the Ice Seal Star Cluster civilization.

If Gu Qijue was not planning to establish a Star Cluster-level civilization, staying in the Ice Seal Star Cluster would certainly be an excellent choice.

However, after his promotion to D-Tier Cosmic Level this time, he intended to advance the Infinite Empire to a Star Cluster-level civilization.

As such, he needed Chonghan Star to return to the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster.

Not only that, during his seclusion and advancement, Han Yiming also needed to prepare other tasks.

Gu Qijue hadn’t delegated these tasks because he hadn’t thought of them.

He hadn’t thought of them, but Han Yiming already had.

At this moment, Han Yiming was jotting down notes in his own memo.

Writing down all the various thoughts in his mind and organizing them.

There were many things he needed to do during this time.

The most pressing issue was the population.

Although the Infinite Empire had a considerable population, it was evidently insufficient for developing into a Star Cluster-level civilization.

The population represented a reserve of talent, a reserve of warriors, and a reserve of productivity.

In brief, population equates to wealth.

To address the population issue, Han Yiming planned to approach it from multiple angles.

The remnant inhabitants of the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster, as well as other refugees affected by war, would all be received by the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster.

The Infinite Empire would provide them with protection and living support, as well as developmental assistance.

Furthermore, there would be policies to attract immigrants from other Star Clusters, with the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster offering favorable terms to welcome everyone.

Finally, it was necessary to introduce a population from outside the Star Cluster Alliance.

Han Yiming had previously considered these matters, and now he quickly came up with feasible plans.

On the communication channels of the Star Cluster Alliance, many people were actively discussing Gu Qijue and the Black Stone Legion.

"Why hasn’t Commander Gu Qijue taken any action again?"

"Indeed, this time the Black Stone Legion is simply expanding without taking any combat actions?"

"I don’t know, but I’ve heard that Chonghan Star, controlled by the Black Stone Legion, is heading to the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster."

Many believed that since Gu Qijue had been silent for so long, he must be planning a big move this time.

Contrary to expectations, it turned out to be all noise with little action.

After announcing the expansion of the Black Stone Legion, there were no subsequent actions.

However, some observant individuals noticed that Han Yiming, Gu Qijue’s deputy, had taken some actions.

Han Yiming, without disclosing his intentions, was using various methods to transport populations to the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster.

Starships were gradually heading to the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster from various places within the Star Cluster Alliance and outside it.

The displaced people from the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster also gradually returned to their homeland.

Every day, the population of the Illusionary Blue Star Cluster was increasing.

The members of the Star Cluster Alliance were not particularly interested in the development and construction matters.

Since Gu Qijue and Han Yiming were focused on infrastructure development during this period, people’s attention on them naturally waned.

In the period that followed, the spotlight on the Black Stone Legion rapidly diminished.

A growing number of emerging legions kept coming to prominence.

Many commanders also started to rise.

Although Gu Qijue was the brightest star among E-tier commanders, with the emergence of numerous newcomers over time, he faced competition for his glory.

Moreover, as the war continued to unfold, membership in the Star Cluster Alliance was growing.

Many Star Cluster-level civilizations feeling threatened were quickly joining the Star Cluster Alliance during this time.

A specific event even led the Star Cluster Alliance to become the Silver Flame Star Cluster Alliance.

This event was related to Yao God of the Silver Flame Star Cluster Alliance breaking through to A-Tier Cosmic Level Warrior.

The news of his breakthrough caused the Klein people occupying parts of the Silver Flame Super Star Cluster civilization’s star domain to flee at the first opportunity!

The status of the Silver Flame Super Star Cluster civilization was firmly consolidated.

Currently, there were over eighty members within the Silver Flame Star Cluster Alliance.

All these more than eighty Star Cluster-level civilizations had a significant number of elites emerging. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Just like after Lu Bu’s death, everyone had Lu Bu’s bravery.

The prolonged absence of Gu Qijue from the Star Cluster Alliance battlefield led to his position being replaced by numerous newcomers.

For example, Prince Ling Qing of the Silver Flame Super Star Cluster Alliance and his Silver Legion were the first to become famous alongside Gu Qijue and the Black Stone Legion.

Prince Ling Qing and Gu Qijue were hailed as the twin pillars of the new generation of the alliance.

Subsequently, Zhao Yingxing, the commander of the Red Stone Legion from the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster civilization, was referred to as the "Little Gu Qijue."

This was because Gu Qijue’s lingering reputation still commanded respect, and people remained relatively courteous.

Yet, when Gu Qijue continued to show no response, various strange characters began to emerge.

A figure like Pang Long, the commander of the Purple Dragon Star Cluster civilization, boasted to be on par with Gu Qijue.

This was followed by Gu Qijue’s ranking among the top hundred commanders in the alliance slipping significantly.

All this made it clear that the era of Gu Qijue and the Black Stone Legion had come to an end!

A person’s good fortune doesn’t last a hundred days, nor does a flower stay in bloom for a thousand; this was, of course, nothing unusual.

Gu Qijue was completely oblivious to the changing external landscape.

This time he was fully focused on improving his own strength.

All his Energy Stones were used up during this training.

A massive amount of resources not only elevated his strength to the D-Tier Cosmic Level but also thoroughly stabilized him at that level!

In a few of the relatively weak Star Cluster-level civilizations, he had already become one of the strongest.

Under normal circumstances, he was at the early stage of D-Tier Cosmic Level, in the second form of Half-Dragon Transformation, he possessed the strength of the peak of D-Tier Cosmic Level.

In the third form of Full Dragon Transformation, he achieved a C-Tier Cosmic Level strength.

Upon entering the fourth form, Blood Dragon God state, his strength could even reach the peak of C-Tier Cosmic Level.

However, with his ascension in tier, the duration he could maintain higher-level states was rapidly declining.

Currently, he could only sustain the Blood Dragon God state for slightly more than ten breaths before running out of energy.

Thus, engaging in a contest with D-Class Cosmic Warriors posed no problem for him.

If he were to encounter a C-Tier Cosmic Warrior, it would be rather troublesome.

"Clang!"

The long-sealed serrated alloy door slowly opened.

In his Half-Dragon Transformation state, Gu Qijue leisurely emerged from seclusion.

He was quite taken aback by all he witnessed outside.

Those outside, including Han Yiming, were equally taken aback, even shocked seeing him.

With a bit of astonishment, Han Yiming spoke with a mix of excitement and disbelief: "Brother Gu, is your strength now at the peak of D-Tier Cosmic?"
