The emergency meeting at Titan Industry thus ended, and all attendees left with still darkened faces. It is foreseeable that Titan Industry will not be peaceful in the near future.

This unrest was first evident at Eternal Investment, the largest consortium in the explored universe, whose headquarters are located within Titan Industry territory.

Jose, the actual controller of Eternal Investment, called over the investment representative for Edge World immediately upon receiving the news and unleashed a vicious verbal assault.

Eternal Investment claims to be the number one consortium in Star Sea, the emperor in the investment sector. Yet, during Bai Fu's rise to prominence and her connection with Rebirth Empire, they never directly contacted Bai Fu, only signed a few licensing contracts through the game "Cosmic Net" under their banner. What kind of nonsense is this?

Look at the distant Origin Consortium and Multi-Dimensional Capital!

Origin Consortium invested in Bai Fu and now relies on Bai Fu's reputation to move unimpeded in Edge World, becoming the first local consortium in Edge World.

Multi-Dimensional Capital invested in Bai Fu and now, thanks to its relationship with Bai Fu, has contracted nearly half of the logistical supply orders for the Rebirth Empire's Dark Domain exploration plan, rapidly increasing its wealth. If Bai Fu can achieve three or even four times divine transformation in the future, Multi-Dimensional Capital will inevitably become a major adversary for Eternal Investment.

After a lengthy bout of angry scolding, Jose pointed his finger at the investment representative in front of him.

"Pack your things and get out; you are fired as of today!"

The scolded investment representative felt wronged.

He had considered investing in Bai Fu; he had noticed Bai Fu when she advanced to Catastrophe. But Bai Fu's growth was too fast; while he was still assessing, Bai Fu had already grown to catch Rebirth Empire's attention. By this stage, Eternal Investment had many considerations to address before investing in Bai Fu.

But how could he dare to argue with Jose, renowned as a tyrant? He could only pack his things and go to handle the resignation procedures.

As for where to go after resignation, he decided to seek refuge with Bai Fu.

Bai Fu established the Bai Fu Fund specifically to invest in the Undying People and geniuses. He felt that he could shine and thrive there.

...

Shortly after the emergency meeting at Titan Industry concluded, the Supernova Battle Group received communication from Titan Industry.

Titan Industry revealed Bai Fu's ability to help Dominators enhance racial potential, inviting the Supernova Battle Group to exert pressure on the Empire together to avoid direct conflict and at the same time make the Empire share Bai Fu's ability.

"Should we agree with Titan Industry? I think collaborating with them would be beneficial for us."

The battle group's assistant turned to look at the Chief Fitz standing not far away.

Fitz stroked his long goatee, his eyes slightly narrowed: "Collaborating with Titan Industry indeed can bring us many benefits. However, I have a plan that can yield even greater benefits."

The battle group assistant was puzzled.

What plan?

Fitz said: "Reject Titan Industry and let's collaborate with Rebirth Empire."

"???"

The battle group assistant's eyes widened. If he remembered correctly, the Supernova Battle Group had a grudge with Bai Fu, a grudge not less than that with Titan Industry.

Fitz said: "Who do you think our biggest enemy is right now?"

The battle group assistant thought for a moment and said: "Apostle Holy City."

At this point, he came to a realization.

"Chief, are you suggesting we use the excuse of dealing with Apostle Holy City to form an alliance with Rebirth Empire? If that's the case, given Bai Fu's Mother-like character, she's unlikely to dwell on our past offense. Considering the bigger picture, she's likely to guide our Dominators and Super Supremes. Brilliant, collaborating with Rebirth Empire indeed offers potentially greater returns than collaborating with Titan Industry!"

The battle group assistant's eyes brightened as he thought more about it.

Collaborating with Titan Industry to exert pressure on the recently strengthened Rebirth Empire, if the pressure succeeds it's fine, but if it fails and escalates into a three-way great battle, no one will benefit.

Now the situation is clearer.

Under joint pressure from Rebirth Empire and Supernova Battle Group, unless Titan Industry wants to become a minion of Apostle Holy City, they'll have to concede.

Evidently, Titan Industry will not be willing to be a minion of Apostle Holy City. Cosmic level civilizations have their pride, and Titan Industry knows nothing about Apostle Holy City; running to be a minion blindly isn't to be afraid of being stabbed in the back and then being completely ruined?

Fitz nodded with a smile: "Going directly to Rebirth Empire seems too insincere. Prepare a substantial gift to send to Bai Fu, as an apology for our previous pursuit."

The battle group assistant quickly agreed: "I'll get right on it."

Fitz watched him leave; his thoughts gradually drifted toward the future.

The Apostle Holy City invasion is both a threat and an opportunity.

If it weren't for Apostle Holy City, the Empire, supported by Bai Fu, could secretly develop and eventually become powerful enough to defeat both them and Titan Industry.

Now with Apostle Holy City coming, although they feel immense pressure, if they can withstand this crisis, even without Bai Fu's guidance, they may not need to fear the Empire after the war.

Chaos is the ladder of progress.

The war blood in Fitz began to boil.

...

After joining forces with the reinforcements from Rebirth Empire and Oath Lord, Yuan Yi, Curse Master, Bai Fu felt at ease for the time being.

She first tallied up the task rewards.

After completing the [Deep Space Navigation] task, she accrued 5 billion points of Experience Value, 1 Spiritual Ability Construction Diagram Evolution Card, 1 Supreme Touch Card, and 1 one-time [Lost] equipment skill card.

This harvest is quite delightful.

The value of the Supreme Touch Card goes without saying, and after using the Painter's [Beautiful Moment], the [Lost] equipment skill card came in, providing a timely supplement.

As for that Spiritual Ability Construction Diagram Evolution Card, Bai Fu plans to use it on her combat suit.

However, before using it, she wants Curse Master to upgrade her current diagram first, then use the evolution card, maximizing the use of the evolution card.

Just as Bai Fu was finding Curse Master, Demetri suddenly called out to her.

"The Supernova Battle Group contacted us just now, saying they're apologizing to you and want to discuss comprehensive collaboration with the Undying People."

"Oh?"

Bai Fu raised her eyebrows.

She hadn't expected the Supernova Battle Group's apology to come faster than Titan Industry's.

"If they want to talk, then discuss it with them."

Bai Fu is very interested in what the Supernova Battle Group described as the "comprehensive collaboration with the Undying People."

Players are her bread and butter; how could she not prioritize them?
