Garen had naturally sensed Harris' arrival a long time ago, and he could roughly guess why he was looking for Ipnos.
However, even so, he did not stop him.
Perhaps …
Although he had the memory of the inheritance, he still wanted to take revenge for Haig in his subconscious mind, right?
At the same time, on a floating island in the Void Dragon's territory.
"Lord Ipnos, please help us. Our empire will agree to any request you have!"
Facing Ipnos, Harris' attitude was very humble. After all, the survival of the empire was entrusted to the Void Dragon ancestor in front of him.
"How about this? Since Big Brother likes the source of dark energy, then hand over the remaining two and I promise to help you defeat the humans!"
"This …"
"What, didn't you just say you would agree to any condition?"
"No, no, of course we can give you our source of dark energy, but the problem is that the other one is in the hands of the Fario civilization. Our empire's strength has been greatly reduced and we have no ability to snatch the source of dark energy from them!"
That's right, the empire now only had about ten percent of its military strength before the war. Even the Fario civilization's military strength was nearly three times more than the empire's.
Therefore, Harris was not talking about this guy. The empire now really did not have the ability to snatch the source of dark energy from the Fario civilization.
"If that's the case, then it's fine. Hand over the one in your hands. As for the other one, I'll get it myself!"
"Okay, but Lord Ipnos, the area where the source of dark energy is located is the last territory of our empire in the central area. Can we wait until the Alliance is destroyed before we move out of the central area?"
"Yes, but from this moment on, all the dark energy crystals produced must be sent to me!"
Ipnos said after thinking for a moment with his not-so-smart brain.
In his opinion, Big Brother wanted the source of dark energy, not the territory.
Therefore, as long as they could get their hands on the dark energy crystals, they could move out later.
"That's not a problem. Then I'll leave everything to you, Lord Ipnos!"
"Well, I'll go tell Big Brother. Of course, if Big Brother doesn't allow it, then everything we said before is invalid!"
"I understand!"

After sending Harris away, Ipnos came to the Qilin Hall in the center of the Qilin Clan's ancestral land and entered with some apprehension.
"Big brother!"
Like a child who had done something wrong, Ipnos lowered his head and shouted.
"Finished talking to Harris?"
"Big Brother already knows?"
"Well, he probably wants you to participate in the war, right?"
"Yes, big brother!"
"Hmph, these people from the Sun River Empire are really smart. They know that I won't intervene in the war, so they set their sights on you!"
"Then what does Big Brother mean?"
Garen snorted coldly as his voice carried a hint of displeasure.
This caused Ipnos' heart to skip a beat. His big brother wouldn't stop him again, right?
"You're still asking for my opinion after you've finished talking? You've learned the human way of doing things. What do you mean by 'act first and report later'? "
"Fine, since you've already decided, then it's up to you. I won't ask about this matter!"
"You can use the forces of the various tribes as you wish, but no matter what the result is, I will not intervene. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Ipnos was a little surprised. His big brother really agreed just like that?
Originally, he thought that he would have to spend a lot of effort to persuade him.
"Yes, big brother. Don't worry!"
-----
Tens of billions of light years away from the center of the universe, the frontline battlefield in front of the two major formations.
After Gloucester and the other two peak dark energy users fell, the empire no longer had the power to resist. All the fleets collapsed in less than two hours.
Almost all the superstar clusters were carrying out the final encirclement and suppression. The fleet of the Level 90 civilization was even more ferocious than the fleets of the two super civilizations. It could be said that the empire had been suffering in the universe for a long time.
Three days later, when all the dust had settled and there was no more empire battleship to be found at the frontline, Artrea and Tarovis called Lin Fan to discuss the follow-up to the center of the universe.
For Artrea and Tarovis, that place was their home. Ever since they defeated the army of the Sun River Empire, the thought of going home could no longer be suppressed.
But …
Just yesterday, there was news from the empire camp that forced the two of them to discuss it with Lin Fan again.
"According to the latest news we received, the Sun River Empire has given up on all the dark energy sources. Now, there are five dark energy sources in the center of the universe. The Fario Civilization has one, while Garen's biological civilization camp has four."
"I think this should be related to the thing that Marshal Lin Fan suspected before!"
Artrea said with a serious face after explaining the content of the information.
What did Lin Fan suspect before?
Naturally, it was the bottomless dark energy crystal reserve of the Sun River Empire. During the previous war of attrition, Lin Fan said that he suspected that the source of this huge amount of dark energy crystals was related to Garen. The reason why the Sun River Empire gave two dark energy springs to Garen was probably because they had made a deal with him for the dark energy crystals.
And now, after the defeat at the frontline, Amris even gave his last dark energy source to Garen …
He had to think about it. What did he get from Garen this time?
It was precisely because of this that Artrea and Tarovis had to postpone their original battle plan to advance to the center of the universe.
"If the dark energy crystals obtained by the Sun River Empire were indeed exchanged with Garen by Amris using the dark energy spring, then this time, I think Amris didn't exchange for the dark energy crystals!"
"After all, in the current situation, the dark energy crystals don't mean much to the Sun River Empire!"
"So, we'd better figure out what Amris exchanged with Garen. Otherwise, if we're not careful, the great situation may collapse in an instant!"
Hearing this, Lin Fan nodded and said.
"Wait, there's new news!"
At this moment, Artrea gestured for them to wait and said. Then, he operated his terminal and checked the important news that just came in.
He was fine before he read it, but after reading it, he felt terrible.
There was no need to find out why Amris gave the last dark energy spring to Garen …
"According to the news from the affiliated civilizations in the Empire camp, a large number of biological civilizations are attacking from the center of the universe."
"According to the news, where they passed, they even covered the stars. It is impossible to calculate the specific number in such a short time, and the leader is the second-in-command of the biological camp …"
"Ipnos!"
