The universe is vast and boundless, with billions or even more stars like the sun in a single star system.

Not only are there many stars, but there are also many star systems, and numerous star clusters composed of large quantities of star systems.

The Saint King Star Cluster is primarily a Martial Arts Civilization rather than a Technological Civilization.

Martial Arts Civilization and Cultivation Civilization have many highly similar aspects, but they are not entirely the same.

Aside from Horizontal Body Cultivation, Cultivation Civilization mostly emphasizes techniques and overlooks the physical body.

They don't pay much attention to the physical body; even if the flesh is damaged, they can reconstruct it.

Martial Arts Civilization, on the other hand, equally values the physical body and martial arts skills.

The ruler of the Saint King Civilization is a powerful D-Tier Cosmic-level martial artist.

Before Gu Qijue, the two Saint King Civilization members imprisoned in the cell quickly spoke out unexpectedly.

The older girl said, "We are willing to submit and even more willing to collaborate."

"My brother and I are descendants of the Mad Tiger Saint King."

In the past, Gu Qijue surely knew nothing about the Saint King Star Cluster, let alone what the Mad Tiger Saint King was.

The rulers of the Saint King Star Cluster Civilization always use the title of Saint King.

In the Saint King Star Cluster Civilization, only the rulers can use the title of Saint King.

The current Saint King of the Saint King Star Cluster Civilization is the Evil Eye Saint King, who used to be a subordinate of the Mad Tiger Saint King.

The Evil Eye Saint King, along with three others, initiated a rebellion and eradicated the Mad Tiger Saint King.

Those loyal to the Mad Tiger Saint King were also completely annihilated.

The offspring and numerous descendants of the Mad Tiger Saint King were even slaughtered.

So one could say that Li Xiyue and Li Mingchen before us are certainly hot potatoes.

Getting involved with these two is equal to making enemies with the Saint King Star Cluster Civilization.

Regarding this issue, neither Tian Li nor Tian Hao could make the decision.

If they were just ordinary members of the Saint King Star Cluster Civilization, a way out could be provided.

But they are targets sought after by the Evil Eye Saint King, so accepting them would evidently be an unwise choice.

Tian Li and Tian Hao could only look to Gu Qijue.

In this immense situation, only Gu Qijue could make a decision.

Gu Qijue's decision surprised both Tian Li and Tian Hao, while also providing relief to Li Xiyue and her brother.

"Although I don't know what you can offer, I agree to collaborate with you."

"However, without my permission, you cannot make any contact with the outside world."

Upon hearing Gu Qijue's words, Li Xiyue and Li Mingchen were very pleased.

This signifies the end of their days of hiding.

Though they cannot contact the outside, they can now grow safely under Gu Qijue's domain for a while.

This made Li Xiyue and her brother very happy.

Although Tian Li and Tian Hao did not speak up, worry was written all over their faces.

After hesitating for a moment, Tian Li actively spoke, "Supreme Leader Gu, the Evil Eye Saint King is not easy to deal with."

"Since you've decided to harbor these siblings, we must be diligent in confidentiality."

"Otherwise, once it leaks that they're on the Divine Desolate Continent, the Evil Eye Saint King will surely use any means to cause trouble."

"At that time, we will be in danger."

Gu Qijue nodded upon hearing this, "Rest assured, I have my plan."

After saying this, he continued to instruct, "Quickly gather resources from the surrounding areas and return to the Divine Desolate Continent."

Upon his instruction, Tian Li and others hurriedly set about accomplishing the task.

The long-accumulated resources and wealth of Luo Meng and others all became Gu Qijue's possession.

No wonder Luo Meng and others preferred conducting these risk-free transactions.

Although the risks of this line of work are outrageously high, so are the profits.

Of course, Gu Qijue would not behave recklessly like Luo Meng's group.

Taking action against interstellar pirates is something everyone would applaud.

If one acts like an interstellar pirate and robs others, they can only become a street rat, universally despised.

Gu Qijue and his group moved swiftly and soon embarked on their way home.

However, a small incident occurred on their return journey when Ding Xin attempted to escape.

If he cooperated honestly, Gu Qijue truly had no intention of killing him.

Since he wanted to cause issues, Gu Qijue certainly wouldn't be polite to such a minor character.

With Ding Xin's death, Luo Meng's band of interstellar pirates was completely annihilated.

Gu Qijue quickly returned to the Divine Desolate Continent with his team.

Initially, he wanted to establish a Divine Desolate Empire, but now he has changed his mind.

He plans to establish an Infinite Empire, which will encompass both Emperor Star and the Divine Desolate Continent as territories within the Infinite Empire.

Upon returning to the Divine Desolate Continent, Gu Qijue, Tian Li, and Tian Hao held a high-level meeting.

Though the two descendants of the Mad Tiger Saint King had significant status, they were not allowed to participate in this level of meeting.

Infinite Group Floating Base, meeting room.

After Gu Qijue, Tian Li, and Tian Hao took their seats.

Gu Qijue was the first to speak once all three had settled in, "I'm planning to establish the Infinite Empire, incorporating Emperor Star and the Divine Desolate Continent."

"Also incorporating all valuable resource planets within the Desolate Star System into the Infinite Empire's territory."

"Regarding the establishment and development of the Infinite Empire, do you have any suggestions?"

In the past, Tian Li and Tian Hao were senior officials of a Star Cluster-level Civilization.

Gu Qijue's Infinite Empire is merely a Star System-level Civilization.

Offering guidance, of course, was a piece of cake.

Tian Li and Tian Hao exchanged glances, then Tian Li gestured invitingly and said, "Let Tian Hao, His Excellency speak first, and I'll add on."

Tian Hao did not hesitate, nodding in agreement before he spoke, "As an ally, I must first congratulate Supreme Leader Gu on taking a significant step in ruling the Desolate Star System."

"The establishment of the Infinite Empire means Supreme Leader Gu will exert further control over the Desolate Star System."

"The strength of a Star System-level Civilization could be measured by the extent it controls and utilizes resources within the Star System."

"To command all resources within the Star System requires advanced starship technology, formidable armed forces, and space transmission technology."

"Supreme Leader Gu and His Excellency possess the strongest armed forces within the Desolate Star System."

"Thus, what Supreme Leader Gu needs to address is starship technology, space transmission technology, and resource extraction and utilization."

Tian Hao succinctly outlined what the Infinite Empire needs to do for a considerable time going forward.

Training troops, gathering resources, assembling fleets, and developing technology.

After Tian Hao spoke, Gu Qijue nodded before looking at Tian Hao again, anticipating him to speak further.

After a brief hesitation, Tian Hao recommended a missing expert to Gu Qijue.

This expert is the chief scientist on space transmission technology in the Celestial Essence Civilization.
