Chapter 149: Cooperation and Preparations for Expansion

Rather kill himself than compromise with the swarm, Hernandath calls the swarm and Xue Hua "betrayers" and threatens that more so-called "high-level exalteds" will come to their trouble.

But Xue Hua didn't take this empty threat to heart.

Because that Sarnagar, whether it was Narud or not, should have no more energy left to deal with him now.

Hernandas's defeat would weaken Sarnagar's strength a lot, and it was clear that his plan needed more support. Therefore, it has to make a choice between the biter swarm and its own plans.

Either suspend the plan for the time being and focus all energy on eliminating the threat of the swarm.

Either you can let go of the swarm for the time being and concentrate all your power on your own plan.

Hernandas's final words revealed a lot of information, at least Xue Hua knew through his words that there was more than one so-called "high-level exaltator" like him under Sarnagar.

However, Xue Hua also believed that there would definitely not be too many such powerful existences.

Otherwise, Sarnaga wouldn't just hide in the shadows and do those things that steal chickens and dogs.

Its choice to hide itself in the war between the High Heavens and the Chaos Inferno proves that its current power is far less powerful than Hernandas's boasts.

This gives the swarm a very good opportunity to grow.

Especially after cutting off some of its wings, the development space of the swarm will be greatly improved.

And now, the swarm has one more powerful ally - the Star Spirit.

After the end of the fleet war, Xue Hua handed over the task of cleaning up the battlefield to Stokoff, ordering him to tow all the wreckage of the Sarnagar biomorphic battleship that could be brought back to the asteroid base for Abbathhar to study.

Kellers, the Astral Phase Technician, was then appointed to temporarily serve as the ambassador between the Swarm and the Astrals, and to discuss full cooperation between the two clans with the Astral Executor Harrens.

In the previous fleet battles, the fleets of both clans showed sufficient sincerity of cooperation, which provided a basic foundation of trust for the next negotiations.

Harlance's attitude towards Kellers is no longer a vicious denunciation, but a truly calm discussion and exchange.

The Star Spirit Fleet has been roaming this vast universe for so long, and the information they have obtained about the star sectors in the universe is exactly what the swarm that has been developing in a closed way before.

In turn, a series of information about Sarnagar obtained by the swarm from the Sanctuary World, as well as a series of information about the relationship between the High Heaven and the Chaos Purgatory, as well as the humans of this universe, are also extremely valuable to the Star Spirits.

Negotiations for cooperation between the two communities began with the exchange of information, which began calmly.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the negotiation was quite friendly, Xue Hua, who was not good at diplomacy, threw all the mess to Kellers, and did not set up the so-called restrictions and surveillance, but only sent Isha to observe and record information.

This is the sincerity he showed to the Star Spirits, which means that he and the Swarm sincerely want to cooperate with the Star Spirits.

After being the boss of the negotiations, Xue Hua shifted his main focus back to the first world.

The First Fleet won this time, but it also suffered heavy losses, and if he wanted to complete the next plan of rapid expansion and accumulation of resources, he would need to restore the vitality of the First Fleet immediately.

Fortunately, in terms of rioters, the swarm is an expert, as long as you have resources, how many soldiers can quickly explode for you.

So now the main thing is the issue of resources.

The few resource stars that Zuzad activated all of them were used to feed Leviathan and Behemoth's hatchery, and they didn't give back to the swarm at all.

On the contrary, Gagon has also been collecting additional resources to supplement the incubation needs of resource stars, so this part of the resource mining has basically been zero in the near future.

At present, the main resource income in the swarm resource pool basically comes from a few underground hives in the First World.

However, as the size of the swarm grew, these hives alone have begun to be unable to sustain the population growth rate of the swarm.

Xue Hua had to find other resource collection channels as soon as possible to quickly fill up the resource pool of the swarm.

With this question in mind, he visited Zuzadeh, hoping that the master of ecological transformation would bring good news to him.

"Juggernaut, the activation of the Fourth Resource Star has entered the final stage, you only need to wait a little longer, and the swarm will have a new resource collection channel."

Zuzad really lived up to Xue Hua's expectations, and the first batch of resource stars that began to activate have now achieved their target tasks one after another.

The last resource star No. 4 is also in a state of imminent activation, and its internal ecological system is slowly reviving under Zuzad's intervention, and the planet is beginning to be enveloped in the atmosphere, and the internal environment is gradually becoming a matter of biological growth.

Geological and acanological phenomena began to appear, and the water vapor in the ground gathered and evaporated under the action of a special fungus blanket used by Zuzad, and then rain, which collected and formed the rudiments of the rudiments of the Hupo and the ocean in the depressions on the surface of the planet.

The most rudimentary carbon-based life forms are beginning to sprout, and Zuzad's special thallus nourishes the planet's ecology.

These bacteria act like higher guides, guiding those low-level forms of life to evolve rapidly step by step to high-level forms.

Although frankly speaking, this kind of "seedling-fueling" method actually does more harm than good to the evolution of life, and the ecological environment guided by this is likely to become monotonous and lack competition, and eventually lead to a complete stagnation in biological evolution.

But for Xue Hua, it didn't matter at all, all he needed was the resource dividend given by this planet after it was activated.

This planet is located in the orbit of the sixth planet of the star system where the shelter world is located, far away from the stars, and spins as fast as lightning, without the interference of the swarm, it is impossible to give birth to the environment necessary for life to thrive on its own.

It is enough for Zuzad to be able to do this, and to ask for more is to nitpick.

After getting a general idea of how long it would take for the Fourth Resource Star to be fully activated, Xue Hua once again shifted his attention to the interior of the Sanctuary World, ready to see how the "Golden Swarm" project that Abbather and Kellens had been working on was going.

Now that the collaboration between the Swarm and the Astral is about to begin, it shouldn't be a problem to ask Harlens to borrow two Phase Technicians, so it seems that the project, which has been progressing slowly, has a real chance of success.

However, when he actually visited the wild insect nest experimental base in the mysterious sand dunes, he found that things did not seem to be as simple as he imagined.

Abbather tells him that the results of the first batch of "Golden Zerg" experiments from the wild hive have come out, but the genetic editing performed by the Astral Spirit's psionic armament through the Worldstone solution is not satisfactory.

The genetic sequence of the jumping worms in that experimental hive has begun to collapse on a large scale.

As Abbather feared, this gene collapse is spreading to the genetic hatching sequence of the entire wild nest.
