Chapter 745
As all the members of the 1st Galactic Trade Commission's meeting disconnect from the simulated chatroom Bri created, two individuals in particular are affected most by the discoveries today.
A bright yellow slug on the surface of a vast ocean on a world with its surface being 99% water opens up a telepathy channel that has been established with a neighboring star sector for millennia.
The Rising Emperor's new connectivity system is not necessary for it to make contact with one of its well-respected allies.
"What a pleasant surprise to see a familiar face in today's meeting."
The slug sends a wave of emotion through the telepathy link, showing that it is amused and quite happy about the events that occurred today. Even with the hologram transmitted across star sectors, this being has no defining features other than a small mouth and four retractable feelers where the majority of its mental energy is leaking out.
A rust-colored beholder with dozens of eyes floats above a black mountain, with thousands of identical peaks as far as its Divine-Grade All-Seeing Eyes can see.
"Alveron, it was more of a surprise to see you. I'm glad you seem to be doing well, even after the last demonic wave."
The slug vibrates at these words, glowing yellow with the full power of its saturated true core, and charges up transmission crystals deep within its ocean that resonate with all the worlds it controls.
Not only can it see the six 1st-Class worlds where over three billion total citizens have been connected to a strange connectivity system far more advanced than its own, but it also overlooks its empire stretching across 41 star systems with 219 planets holding advanced life.
