From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

Ah, what a nice sun today.

...

Chapter 287: The Evil God of the Void (X) High-Efficiency and High-Energy Waste Recycling Station (√)

"Um, Academy of Sciences Biology Department, did you guys get any results on adding an aphrodisiac entry for starfish? What? Insufficient funding... I'll grant you a special grant later... Don't tell anyone, or anyone who tells will be thrown into the world to feed Earth's 'new humans.'"

Rubbing his somewhat hollow kidney, Si Ye ended his secret call with the Academy of Sciences.

What happened last night can be summed up in one sentence: The nano-swarm is so terrifying that the emperor of the empire can only suffer losses.

“To do list…To do list…tsk…”

The larger the empire, the more affairs it has to deal with. Although there are imperial officials at all levels, sector governors, and the imperial secretary general Huifeng to handle them, there are still many things that gather here at Si Ye and must be decided by him as the emperor.

Just overnight, a lot of applications and notices accumulated on the data panel, and even expedited communication information. Judging from the authority, it even came from the experimental star field.

“It’s such a busy life.”

"How come you've become like this after not seeing you for just one night? Is Miss Grey Wind really that powerful?"

Si Ye was shaking his head and planning to leave the hub and go to the relay station, but here he met Nian who was unloading a batch of autonomous machines. It seemed that she brought back a lot of small bits and pieces from the cyberpunk universe, a lot of boxes in total.

Nian looked at Si Ye, who was in the sage time and had a blank face, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

"Challenging a nanocluster with a human body, I think I'm already very powerful. Don't provoke me, otherwise..."

Si Ye grabbed Nian's tail and was about to pull her into his arms, scaring Nian so much that she almost jumped up. After all, Nian was no Gray Wind. If Si Ye used all his tricks of acceleration, deceleration, time stop, sensory superposition, etc. on Nian, she would be suffocated in minutes.

"No, no, no, I'm still planning on cutting the tape. Let's talk about it tonight, let's talk about it tonight."

They begged for mercy and held the box in the autonomous robot's hands in their arms, using it as a cover.

"Tape? Didn't I give you a camera robot? Why are you still using film?"

Si Ye took a look and saw that the box was full of rolls of well-sealed movie films. He had no idea where Nian got them from.

"Hey, you don't understand. Movies only have to be shot with film cameras. But I also shot two movies with a camera robot. This time I'm releasing five movies at once, occupying all the advertising space in all the theaters on Terra!"

The well-known director seemed very confident, and she gesticulated as she described to Si Ye how twists and turns the plot of her masterpiece was and how gorgeous the special effects were.

"By the way, when will you return to Terra?"

"It will take some time... things are happening one after another."

Looking at the to-do list on the data panel, Si Ye looked very depressed. He still had to be busy for quite some time.

"If you want to go back first, I can take you there. The projection equipment I've prepared for you, enough to dominate all the theaters on Terra, is already piled up in the warehouse."

"Well... forget it, I'll wait for you to come together. Going back alone... is meaningless."

Compared to going back to Terra alone to show off, Nian still wanted to stay with Si Ye, so he rejected Si Ye's proposal.

"Then you can focus on your work. I'll go edit the film."

"Well, I'll come and have dinner with you and Shu after I'm done."

Nian rolled his eyes at Si Ye in annoyance and said, "You're looking for me and Sister Shu to have dinner together. Your map of Yan State is too short."

The Cross-World Gate Project is the most important project of the Xinghai Empire at present. All other trivial matters have to give way to this matter. So after parting with Nian, Si Ye once again boarded a battleship and arrived at the experimental star field.

"I saw the expedited communication. Something went wrong."

"A clone of the evil god from the virtual realm suddenly descended upon the experimental star field this morning, but showed no hostility. The garrison fleet is currently engaged in a standoff with him in deep space outside."

As a top scientist who once drove a research vessel across a war zone to conduct archaeological excavations, it was obvious that the arrival of the Cricket Virtual Realm entity in the real universe could not cause him any major emotional fluctuations.

"Also, the active psionic entity within the World Portal codenamed [5. The Dung Pit/Warhammer 40k] has reacted again, though this time it's very restrained, not even activating the countermeasures you left behind. It seems they still want to communicate with you."

Snapped!

The more Si Ye listened, the more troubled he became, and he subconsciously covered his face.

He felt a little regretful. He might as well have continued eating, sleeping and fighting aliens in the Three-Body Universe. Now that he came back, all kinds of monsters and demons appeared.

"Alright, I get it. No need to mobilize the warships. I'll just go find them directly."

With the intention of cutting the Gordian knot, Si Ye waved his hand towards the scientists and turned into a ray of flame, floating towards the outer universe.

The psychic entity unfolded again in the universe. Si Ye, who temporarily abandoned his material body, was able to obtain higher output in this state, and the distance of several astronomical units was passed in an instant.

"Contractor~"

Sensing Si Ye's appearance, the motionless virtual entity was stained with a pink halo. The next moment, the familiar End of Reincarnation, wearing a leather suit with a small round face, descended again. Judging from the sound, it seemed that he was in a good mood.

"Didn't you say a few days ago that you weren't ready? Why did you suddenly say it today?"

After ordering the guard fleet to retreat, Si Ye looked at the reincarnation circle circling around his psychic entity, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Not yet... not yet. I came here to give you this today."

A bright pink dot of light merged into Si Ye's psychic entity, delivering new power from the long-awaited contract with the end of the cycle.

He can now rub small virtual entities with his hands to help him fight.

"what?"

Si Ye was a little confused. Ever since he started to default on his debts by relying on his high-dimensional soul, he had not been able to give out any more power except for the part that could not be taken back at the end of the reincarnation. Did he take the wrong medicine today?

"Do you think I'm some evil god who only eats sacrifices but gives nothing in return?"

Aren't you the evil god?

Lunhuiyuan seemed a little angry about Si Ye's reaction, as if Si Ye had insulted his professional ethics.

"Although that curled fragment of the two-dimensional universe is not equivalent to the virtual realm authority I gave you, since this is the first time you have volunteered to sacrifice it in all these years, I will give you a little more as a token of encouragement."

Si Ye scratched his head for a long time before he remembered what the curled two-dimensional universe mentioned by Samsara was, and his expression was very subtle.

I didn't expect that the Void Realm Evil Gods would also eat the two-dimensional fragments of the universe from another world, and it seemed to suit their appetite. Si Ye had thought that these Void Realm Evil Gods only ate the souls and planets of the Star World. If that were the case...

Si Ye suddenly felt enlightened. If there was another two-dimensional space in the Three-Body Universe that affected the Empire's private territory, or if there were similar things in other worlds, he could just strip them off and feed them to the Evil God of the Void Realm.

Doing this not only purifies the universe, but also exchanges useless waste for useful power from the evil god of the virtual realm. It's a perfect win.

"Look, you did a great job this time. Although I don't know where you got that curled cosmic fragment, you can't bear to leave your empire and your people. Then you can use these cosmic fragments to repay your debt. I will only take half, and I will still consider the remaining half as your sacrifice, which will give you back power."

Seeing Si Ye in a daze, Lunhuiyuan thought that his generosity had shocked Si Ye. He proudly put his hands on his hips and began to chatter about his Lunhuiyuan loan to Si Ye, completely unaware that he had been labeled as a high-end scrap recycling station by Si Ye.

"...Then if there are any more cosmic fragments like that in the future, I will sacrifice them to you."

Si Ye nodded with a subtle expression, agreeing to the new contract terms proposed by Samsara Circle.

Lunhui Yuan couldn't wait to add a clause to the contract between him and Si Ye, saying loudly, "Hey, it's a deal. If the others come to you to sign a contract, you can't give them my share!"

"this…"

Allowing one company to dominate the world is definitely not good news. Si Ye pretended to hesitate, causing the Wheel of Reincarnation in front of him to show an anxious expression.

"Promise me! We have a contract between you and me."

"If you call the other four out to help me stand up, I will guarantee that when I have a piece of the universe in the future, it will be your sacred and indivisible share."

After dealing with the matter of the Samsara Circle, there is still the Yellow Skin Man. The Yellow Skin Man is three parts deceit and seven parts fraud. Si Ye thinks it is best to show off his muscles and make the Yellow Skin Man less cunning and more sincere.

"Okay! You can't regret it! Otherwise I will..."

Samsara probably wanted to say something harsh, but ever since Si Ye used the psychic energy of his empire's people to build that unbreakable net, coupled with his invincible fleet, the Evil God of the Void Realm could no longer defeat him in the material universe, so any harsh words he said would be no different from acting like a spoiled child.

"Don't regret it, go now."

Si Ye was coaxing the Samsara Circle perfunctorily as if he was coaxing a child. The other party had no way to deal with him, so he could only transform into a pink psychic light and return to the virtual world.

...

Chapter 288 Negotiation (Part )

Si Ye swayed and drifted to the gate of [5·Warhammer 40k] located in the deep space of the experimental star field. A large number of security equipment and suppression modules had been newly installed on this door to ensure that the shit from the opposite universe would not be sprayed over.

The golden spiritual energy shrank in the center of the door, as if it was thinking or taking a nap. Of course, in Si Ye's opinion, the emperor was more like doubting his life.

"Is the reward ready?"

It is not easy to find another world with abundant psychic energy reserves like Warhammer 40k. If Si Ye really wants to use the dimensional upgrade method given by the End of Reincarnation, then the psychic energy accumulated by the human empire in the 40k world for thousands of years of worshiping the Emperor will be the best fuel.

However, negotiating with a cunning person like Huangpizi and exposing your needs and goals will do more harm than good. If you are not careful, Huangpizi may start to raise the price and become more demanding.

Therefore, the best state of mind when negotiating with the yellow-skinned man is to maintain a state where you have to beg me before I will consider it. After all, it is not Si Ye who is suffering on the toilet, and it is not Si Ye's empire that needs to be saved.

“…I don’t know what kind of reward is enough…”

Huangpizi probably accumulated a lot of strength in order to communicate with Siye again, so he spoke much more fluently, and his slightly hollow voice was mixed with helplessness and annoyance.

"Everything I have... you have, and even better..."

After the Emperor was forced to sit on the Golden Throne, the Human Empire began to decline after a brief period of glory. The Emperor really didn't know what reward he should offer in exchange for the help of a human civilization in its heyday.

Technology of the past? The technology of Mankind's Golden Age certainly contained some truly outrageous things, but the Emperor did not believe that such things were urgently needed for a world-spanning empire.

Weapons? Warships? Population? 40k is a world dominated by war. Everything in this world has been transformed into a war-serving entity over millennia of warfare. Even the Emperor's desire to acquire rare and ingenious goods as trading items is difficult.

After much thought, the Emperor had no idea what could move Si Ye, so he had to give up thinking and return to the rift that he discovered by chance, gathering strength and waiting for the next opportunity to meet with Si Ye.

"That's true. Since you can't afford the reward, then leave."

Si Ye pretended to drive away the Emperor, while secretly sensing the contract with the End of Reincarnation, calculating how long it would take for the Five-Colored Team to arrive to intimidate the Emperor.

"Please don't! Humanity is suffering... Please lend a hand..."

The golden psychic energy still surged, but the increasingly thick virtual barriers became a dam that he could not shake. Various inhibitors began to work and quickly compressed the emperor's psychic energy back into the depths of the door.

But just like a drowning person will grab anything he can grab, the Emperor will definitely not give up on reinforcements like Nyx who can rewrite the fate of the human empire. The Emperor's voice became low after calming down, as if he had made some difficult decision.

"I can give everything...why not let my empire be merged into yours..."

"Hey, hey, are you paying me back, or are you repaying me with evil?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Si Ye was almost amused.

The Human Empire is in such a mess right now that even Siye feels troubled by its intervention, let alone its merger. Who wants to take over such a mess? Who wants to sit on such a toilet?
