"Supreme Leader Gu, I want to recommend someone to you," Tian Hao said seriously.

Hearing his words, Gu Qijue showed some interest and asked, "Who are you recommending?"

Tian Hao solemnly replied, "Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization, in the field of space transmission technology, the chief scientist, Lingmi."

Gu Qijue was, of course, very interested in such a top talent.

So he directly asked, "Where is this person?"

This question also concerned Tian Li.

Because he didn't know where Lingmi was, either.

This time, Tian Hao shook his head, "She might be dead, or she might have successfully escaped, or been captured by some force."

Tian Hao was unable to provide accurate information, which left Gu Qijue at a loss as well.

If Lingmi was captured, they could still try to rescue her.

Without knowing where Lingmi was, they had no way to attempt a rescue.

Gu Qijue pondered for a moment, then asked, "Can the two of you contact Lingmi?"

Both Tian Hao and Tian Li shook their heads.

Tian Li further informed Gu Qijue of something he didn't know: "The high-levels of the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization have a traitor."

"Our communication devices and positioning devices, as well as past contact methods, can't be used easily."

Hearing this, Gu Qijue had to give up on the idea of finding Lingmi.

No intelligence, no clues.

Trying to find Lingmi like this was like looking for a needle in the universe, not just a haystack.

It seemed Tian Li understood Gu Qijue's thoughts but still offered him a suggestion.

"Your Excellency, you can personally lead a team to receive refugees from the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization."

"Externally, you can say it's for the development of the Desolate Star System and that more manpower is needed."

"As long as Your Excellency shows goodwill towards the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization, and if Lingmi hasn't been captured, she will probably reach out to you."

After hearing this, Gu Qijue was moved and found it reasonable.

Just like when the Emperor Star faced an extinction-level disaster.

If he escaped, he would definitely find ways to keep tabs on his many friends and subordinates in secret.

He immediately made a decision: "After the founding ceremony of the Infinite Empire, I will go to the edge of the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization to receive refugees."

"In the meantime, I entrust you two to lead the engineers of the Emperor Star Alliance to build as many starships and various weapons as possible."

Tian Li and Tian Hao nodded with solemn assurance, "We'll give it our all!"

Having discussed these matters, Gu Qijue then released a very shocking piece of news.

Everyone in the Emperor Star Alliance, everyone on the Divine Desolate Continent, learned about something extremely astonishing.

Across the entire Divine Desolate Continent and the whole Emperor Star, images of Gu Qijue appeared on all sorts of large and small devices.

"Citizens of the Emperor Star and the Divine Desolate Continent, I am Gu Qijue, the joint Supreme Leader of the Emperor Star and the Divine Desolate Continent."

"I now have to announce something very important!"

"From this moment, the Infinite Empire is officially established!"

"The Emperor Star, the Divine Desolate Continent, as well as the entire Desolate Star System, shall be the territory of the Infinite Empire."

"Emperor Kui is appointed as the person in charge of the Emperor Star, concurrently holding the position of Vice Leader of the Infinite Empire."

"Ji Tianyue is appointed as the person in charge of the Divine Desolate Continent, concurrently holding the position of Vice Leader of the Infinite Empire."

"Ziling is appointed as Vice Leader of the Infinite Empire."

"Before the Infinite Empire takes control of more star systems, it will have a maximum of five Vice Leaders."

"In addition, appointing..."

Gu Qijue then continued to announce a long list of names.

These names included Dao Taihuang, Gu Yangze, Bei Qingcang, Gu Yinling, and also Victoria.

All Divine Tier combat forces were appointed as Commanders of the Infinite Empire by him.

All Demigods were appointed as War Generals of the Infinite Empire.

Of course, according to the varying strengths and contributions to the establishment of the Infinite Empire,

Commanders are ranked from One-star Commander to Five-star Commander, and War Generals are similarly ranked.

Vice Leaders of the Infinite Empire will be chosen preferentially from Five-star Commanders.

Of course, even now, neither Dao Taihuang, Gu Yangze, nor Gu Yinling are Five-star Commanders.

Ascending from being a Five-star Commander to a Vice Leader of the Empire isn't something everyone should think too much about.

When Gu Qijue initially led the Emperor Star Alliance and the Divine Desolate Continent into war, he mentioned establishing the Divine Desolate Empire.

At that time, many in the Emperor Star Alliance were skeptical.

As for the cultivators of the Divine Desolate Continent, they even thought Gu Qijue was just dreaming.

Now Gu Qijue is using ironclad reality to tell everyone, what is a Divine Desolate Empire?

He has established the Infinite Empire, and he is the supreme ruler of the entire Desolate Star System!

The establishment of the Infinite Empire greatly excited the forces of both the Emperor Star and the Divine Desolate Continent, further integrating both sides.

The previously constant internal strife on the Emperor Star and the Divine Desolate Continent ceased large-scale outbreaks.

Their goal was no longer the small yards before them, but the stars and sea!

After the establishment of the Infinite Empire, many specific rules needed to be discussed.

However, Gu Qijue didn't participate in this matter as he was off to handle more important tasks.

These issues were to be completed by the three Vice Leaders of the Empire: Emperor Kui, Ji Tianyue, and Ziling, along with many Divine Tier Commanders of the Infinite Empire.

This time, Gu Qijue went to the edge of the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization.

This journey, he brought an interstellar fleet.

But aside from him, those operating the other starships were machine lifeforms, not cellular life.

This time, Tian Li and Tian Hao kept in remote contact with Gu Qijue but did not accompany him.

Near the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization, there could very well be traps waiting for them to jump into.

This time, Gu Qijue was aboard the Emperor Flagship, followed by ten Super Divine-class Starships.

This was the entirety of the Infinite Empire's current assets.

Although the Infinite Empire had immense potential, their development time was truly too short.

As Gu Qijue's fleet grandly sailed through the universe,

many interstellar pirates either probed cautiously or bypassed them altogether.

The F-Class Cosmic-level Starship possesses the power to kill F-Class Cosmic Powerhouses.

Common interstellar pirates would only target merchant ships, not armed starships.

Gu Qijue very smoothly arrived at the edge of the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization.

The area was littered with numerous pieces of shattered starship wreckage.

All these starship wreckages had turned into space debris.

Many refugees from the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization were either at ground bases or on various aircraft, eagerly looking at the sky.

Not only did Gu Qijue want talents from the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization, but the Vermilion Bird Empire and civilizations like the Qiongqi Empire also desired them.

Thus, the area also had fleets from these Star Cluster-level civilizations.
