"Buzz——"

A mass of blood-red demonic power gathered in Gu Qijue's palm.

The next moment, this demonic power was thrust into Lin Zhicong's body.

As Lin Zhicong felt terrified, Gu Qijue spoke.

"This demonic power is very pure. If I die on this planet, this demonic power will explode directly, turning you into ashes."

"You can check it out and see if this demonic power is as dangerous as I said."

Lin Zhicong was almost scared out of his wits. He examined the demonic power as Gu Qijue suggested.

The demonic power was extremely pure and terrifying. If it exploded inside him, he would definitely be blown into pieces!

Lin Zhicong trembled as he spoke: "Spare me, I didn't betray you."

Gu Qijue nodded: "I'm not planning to kill you. You've not only done no wrong but have been of help."

"So if I manage to leave this planet alive, this demonic power will transform into pure energy, which you can absorb and refine to advance further."

"So next, I hope you will help me as much as possible for your own life."

Lin Zhicong nodded frantically upon hearing this.

Betraying others is shameful, and he knew it was shameful.

But no matter what, he had to survive.

If he hadn't been forced to come to the battlefield, he would have been executed; he wouldn't have come to this battlefield otherwise.

Not cooperating now would mean a dead end, so to survive, he had no choice but to cooperate.

If those people hadn't forced him to the battlefield, wouldn't everything that followed not have happened?

Seeing Lin Zhicong's compliance, Gu Qijue didn't make things difficult for him and instead looked towards the exhausted Tian Li.

"Lord Tian Li, it's very dangerous here. Should we find a safer place to talk?"

Gu Qijue's invitation was accepted by Tian Li.

Because what Gu Qijue said was true, it was indeed very dangerous here and not a good place.

However, before leaving, Tian Li glanced at Lin Zhicong and asked: "Why not kill him?"

To Tian Li, Lin Zhicong was an enemy, and killing Lin Zhicong would end everything.

Gu Qijue replied: "Know yourself and your enemy, and you won't be defeated in a hundred battles."

"With him, we can gain some intelligence about the Qiongqi Star Cluster's combat units; he is more useful alive than dead."

Tian Li nodded; Gu Qijue was right.

Without an insider, it would be very difficult for them to break through.

The three quickly left that place.

Once they reached a relatively safe area, Tian Li asked: "Who are you from the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster? What do they plan to do with me?"

Gu Qijue's response was undoubtedly surprising to Tian Li.

Because he said: "I am indeed a member of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, but you, sir, are from the Celestial Essence Star Cluster, and have no connection with the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster."

Tian Li was puzzled by Gu Qijue's words: "What do you mean?"

Of course, he had no connection with the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

The Vermilion Bird Star Cluster and the Celestial Essence Star Cluster were neither allies nor enemies; the two were unrelated strangers.

Gu Qijue smiled and said: "Lord Tian Li, would you consider cooperating with me?"

"I will briefly explain my situation to Lord Tian Li."

Tian Li quickly learned from Gu Qijue about a quasi-star system-level power beyond the Great Rift Zone in the borders of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

If Tian Li were to jump from the Celestial Essence Civilization to another civilization, he would not consider Emperor Star no matter what.

But now, a quasi-star system-level civilization like Emperor Star might be a better choice for him!

The reason is simple: upon entering a star cluster-level civilization like the Vermilion Bird Empire, he would certainly be controlled.

The Vermilion Bird Empire was unlikely to help him rebuild the Celestial Essence Civilization.

To the Vermilion Bird Empire, he was valuable, but rebuilding the Celestial Essence Civilization was of no value.

Emperor Star was different; it was only a quasi-star system-level civilization.

Moreover, Emperor Star was a member of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, and cooperation with Emperor Star would be beneficial for both parties.

He could use his grasp of all star cluster-level technologies to help Emperor Star develop rapidly.

Gu Qijue, on the other hand, could help him shelter refugees from the Celestial Essence Star Cluster-level civilization.

The place where Gu Qijue was located, beyond a cosmic Great Rift Zone, was an extremely safe area.

Moreover, if something happened during his transfer to Emperor Star.

While Emperor Star might face sanctions from the Vermilion Bird Empire, he himself would be fine.

A person like him, regardless of which power he fell into, would only be valuable if alive.

Tian Li quickly figured out these issues!

After thoroughly thinking through all the problems, Tian Li said: "I am willing to cooperate with Emperor Star."

"However, right now I need some materials and high-level energy stones, and preferably a simple manufacturing workshop to create some escape tools."

Gu Qijue considered for a moment, then transferred most of the materials from his space device into another space device and handed it to Tian Li.

Tian Li didn't expect Gu Qijue to be so straightforward.

He immediately also took out his final card.

It was a Subspace Manufacturing Workshop, but it contained no materials.

This was because as soon as this technology was developed, the Celestial Essence Civilization was destroyed.

In addition, this device was only a prototype.

Only some special substances could exist long-term in the Subspace Manufacturing Workshop.

Other organisms and various materials could not be stored long-term in this subspace.

Gu Qijue and Ziling only saw a transparent light gate appear before them.

After the transparent light gate appeared, Tian Li entered it and waved to both of them.

Gu Qijue and Ziling cautiously entered it; it was actually not dangerous, as long as they did not stay more than an hour, there would be no problem.

Upon entering, Tian Li waved his hand, causing the external light gate to completely disappear.

At this moment, no matter how many people outside searched, they could not be found.

The only pity was that this subspace device was not perfect, and they could not hide in it for long periods.

After Gu Qijue and Ziling entered the Subspace Manufacturing Workshop, Tian Li explained everything about the workshop to them.

As allies, he was quite sincere.

And in such a dangerous situation, both parties had to work sincerely together to find a way out.

After hearing what Tian Li had to say, both Gu Qijue and Ziling felt somewhat regretful.

If only they could rely on this device, they could successfully pass this trial.

Tian Li pondered for a moment, then looked at Ziling and asked: "Can you provide me with some materials?"

Gu Qijue had already provided him with many materials, but it was still not enough.

Ziling did not agree immediately but looked at Gu Qijue instead.

Gu Qijue then asked Tian Li: "What kind of escape device do you intend to build?"

He did not yet have enough trust in Tian Li and needed to understand clearly.
