At this stage.

For Lince, not a single second could be wasted.

After all, the Star Empire’s Order and Prosperity bonus had just received another boost.

Any time that could be used to accelerate development was precious.

One hundred and twenty years?

By then, who knew what the Star Empire would look like.

Lince was full of anticipation.

As for the Dragon Race...

Lince hadn’t forgotten to continue increasing his investment in them.

Under the Authority of the Dragon God, Lince would passively teleport the separated ’Transformation’ Bloodline spheres to Dragon Island.

There, fifteen Dragon Race Elders would watch over them and bestow them upon worthy citizens of the Empire.

As for the fifteen Dragon Race Elders, Lince had already used his Divine Tier Authority to grant all of them Demigod Tier Bloodlines.

Presumably, it wouldn’t be long before a Demigod Tier dragon would emerge from among these fifteen Elders.

A Demigod Tier dragon, even a Weak Dragon Level one, possessed strength comparable to that of an ordinary Lower-Rank Deity.

Not to mention, most of these fifteen Dragon Race Elders had now obtained Strong Dragon Level Bloodlines, or even Dragon King Bloodlines.

Therefore, with them watching over the Star Empire, and with the Deities of the Oakland Continent and the Player Deities also standing guard, the Star Empire’s development should face no security threats.

Furthermore, up in the Star Realm, the New Gods of the Giant Demon Empire would also keep a close watch on the Star Empire, as per Lince’s instructions.

So, with so many safeguards in place, Lince wasn’t worried about anything happening to the Star Empire.

After all, even considering just its mortal forces, the number of High Tier and Saint Tier individuals within the Star Empire was already absurdly high.

However, just before he went into slumber, Lince had one lingering question.

He was wondering, ’Is the Giant Demon Empire really that stubborn?’

’It’s been sixty years!’

’And they still haven’t conquered that Low Demon World?’

’It looks like they’re on the verge of victory, but their losses must be immense, right?’

’Is it really worth it?’

Besides, the Giant Demon Deity Matty had even intended to ask Lince for help, but now there was no word from him.

Lince couldn’t quite figure out what those Giant Demons were thinking.

’But, whatever.’

’As long as the Giant Demon Empire doesn’t think it’s a loss, that’s fine.’

’As for that world’s Magic Industry, which can continuously create High Tier, and even Saint and Demigod beings?’

Lince didn’t think much of it. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

’After all, can they create them faster than the True Game?’

Besides, even if a large number of existing Players died, new ones would quickly fill the vacancies.

Not to mention, once the Crimson World was conquered, the number of slots the True Game could open up would naturally increase as well.

Therefore, Lince wasn’t particularly interested in the technology from that world that the Giant Demons coveted.

’Don’t bite off more than you can chew.’

’One hundred and twenty years. First, I’ll let the Star Empire fully digest all of the Intelligent Mechanism’s technology.’

Besides, with Intelligent Mechanism Anita and the Wise Persons of the Star Empire jointly researching and developing a new Magic Industry, Lince felt that their progress wouldn’t be slow.

’Beings with minds steeped in the Extraordinary simply can’t comprehend the power of an AI.’

’Oh, no, the power of an Intelligent Mechanism lifeform.’

As for the supervision of the Intelligent Mechanism, Lince no longer needed to worry about that.

Because after Intelligent Mechanism Anita announced its allegiance to the Star Empire, the True Game had directly added clauses and rules into its core code.

In short, compared to the Three Laws of Robotics, the rules imposed by the True Game left Intelligent Mechanism Anita absolutely no loopholes to exploit.

In this regard, Lince never doubted the mechanics and power of the True Game.

And so, soon after, on the surface of the Sun, within that familiar Subspace, the Flame Giant Dragon slowly closed its eyes once more.

And between the closing and opening of its eyes, one hundred and twenty-three years passed.

As for the extra three years,

it was entirely because Lince let the True Game choose which members of the Human Race to deploy to the Crimson World on its own.

He only needed to make decisions at crucial moments.

He had even permitted the True Game to awaken him only when there was a breakthrough in the Crimson World.
