Lingjing Star.
In the palace of Demon Queen Lin Fanghua, a monster bone shone with light, revealing the image of the Demon Ancestor. Although the Demon Queen could not clearly see the Demon Ancestor’s face, she had already confirmed it was him.
Even if separated by an unknowable number of light-years, even if it was just a thread of spirit, it made the Demon Queen feel immense pressure. That kind of aura was unmatched.
As the light gradually faded, Long San put away the monster bone and said, "Daoist Friend Lin, now you should believe my words. I have no reason to deceive you; it was the Dragon Ancestor himself who agreed."
"We can talk."
"Good."
"Please sit down."
Lin Fanghua waved her hand to magically bring a set of tables and chairs, allowing the two to take a seat.
"I see your offer and intentions. We can cooperate, but I will not betray Heavenly Court, nor will I betray Blue Star."
"Taoist Friend Lin, would Demon Domain refuse to give you a whole planet?"
"I will capture an independent planet on my own, I don’t need a gift from anyone."
Lin Fanghua said, as she naturally desired an independent planet, but she was well aware of her own limitations.
Her value came from being part of Heavenly Court and an ally of Blue Star. She could access Blue Star’s technology. If, as they claimed, all the important Demon Kings and Demon Emperors under her followed her to Demon Domain, she would have no value left, and she would be no different from an ordinary demon.
Therefore, she could not agree to all of Demon Domain’s conditions; she had to stay on the side of Blue Star.
"Brother Long San, Sister Rufu has great ambition; we shouldn’t discourage her enthusiasm. We should support her."
"Alright, just as Yiyi said, if you do not go to the Demon Domain, how will our cooperation begin?"
"My demon race has been collaborating with Blue Star for thousands of years. Each year, many of my kind go to Blue Star to study and train. Although most of them do not excel, there are a few with exceptional talent whose scientific knowledge is not worse than that of regular scientists. Several of our people have even gotten jobs at Blue Star’s Spiritual Energy Research Institute."
"So, besides giving you the complete set of Blue Star’s technology information, I will also send people there to help you build a complete industrial system. As for how effective it will be, that depends on your abilities. If you are like uncarvable wood, then there is nothing I can do."
Lin Fanghua said, "In theory, after transforming, the intelligence of the demon race should be the same as that of humans. However, in reality, it is not like that at all. Transformed demon race still carry habits from their beast days and are not very enthusiastic about learning."
Most demon race who study at Blue Star only reach the level of an average college student, and ordinary college students are quite cheap in Blue Star society with little creativity.
Only a few demon race have exceptional talent and a great interest in learning, able to compete with highly intelligent humans. To this day, a few have even entered the Spiritual Energy Research Institute, which is the most prestigious workplace in Blue Star. Even for humans, only a rare genius can get a job there.
"I also need some basic industrial items, like machines and supercomputers."
"I can get some discarded items. Although they are outdated in Blue Star, in other places, they are rare treasures. You can look this up."
"That works; we can’t take the most advanced items anyway. We also want some engineers and similar professionals."
"Has this passed?"
"You will find a way, not just from Blue Star, but also from other planets. Otherwise, what you have offered is not worth the price we are asking."
"Okay, the number should be under one thousand, and their overall level should be no lower than the main teachers of a second-tier university from Blue Star."
After thinking for a moment, the Demon Queen said, "In the Star Domain, there are countless missing person cases that cannot be completely stopped. It’s better not to touch those top scientists; ordinary engineers are fine."
"Thank you, Taoist Friend Lin. Your actions have done great service for the demon race."
"No need to be so formal. The stronger the Demon Domain is, the more secure our position in the Heavenly Court will be. This is also for our own good."
"Yes, that’s true. I hope our demon race can stand strong in the world forever and not become servants to certain humans."
Long San said calmly, "Mutual slavery has been a custom for a long time. There are many humans in the Demon Domain who are their servants. Life and death are in the hands of the demon race, and it’s the same on the human side."

"Have Long San and the others left?"
"Not yet, they are hiding. They will stay here for a while to continue the trade, but I have already received the first benefits."
"Did they also give you the items?"
"Sort of, it’s all the information you provided. They have already sent it back."
The Demon Queen said lightly. The complete set of information about the demon race was given by Lin Jiang himself, organized by someone, but the core information is definitely missing.
"That’s good. You can keep the benefits, no need to give me anything."
"Thank you. I heard you also ran into some trouble?"
"You heard about it too?"
"Immortal Lord Chang Rong’s sister, a spoiled child of the Heavenly Court, I do have this information. So, how about it? Do you want me to help you deal with it?"
"You cannot defeat her."
"Dealing with things doesn’t always mean fighting and killing."
"No need, I can handle it myself. You be careful over there. I heard in the Heavenly Court that many immortals are unhappy with the Demon Immortal. Don’t let them find something against you."
Lin Jiang said that the Demon Immortal’s position in the Heavenly Court is not high. The Demon Queen is the only Demon Immortal with a life planet, and many are dissatisfied, feeling that it’s a waste to let her control the planet.
"I know those people, heh heh."
The Demon Queen chuckled coldly. Among the immortals in the Heavenly Court, her strength is considered strong. In several great battles, she has seized a large number of dao auras, and ordinary immortals are truly not her opponents.
"Those people are short-sighted; ignore them. Let’s leave it at that for today. Contact me if there’s anything else."
"Okay."
The Demon Queen nodded, and then her form scattered like starlight.
"Lin Jiang, we received information from the Tianyuan Star Domain. The Buddhist sect has sent many people to study at the Qiyuan Star, and technology is spreading in the Buddhist sect. Several Star Domains of the Buddhist sect are building teleportation arrays, and from the recent ships and probes they launched, it seems their technology is advancing quickly. There are many spies from the Buddhist sect here in the Heavenly Court."
Cao Ying said from the side, then handed a report to Lin Jiang, noting that the technology path of the Buddhist sect is very similar to Blue Star’s, clearly copying it, and those spies are likely to have achieved significant results.
"As long as we protect the key technology, the rest doesn’t matter."
"Lin Jiang, do you think the sentence Chang Le said is closely related to the Buddhist sect?"
"Yes, it is. This is the analysis from my think tank. Take a look. According to their analysis, the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect might change their strategy against the demon race."
Lin Jiang said, then brought up a document.
This is the analysis from Lin Jiang’s think tank. The Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect have fought many battles for thousands of years. Although there have been victories and defeats, neither side has gained a significant advantage.
However, the losses are real, which means both sides are tired of fighting. If they were to go to war again, it would either be half-hearted or an all-out effort to destroy one of them.
These costs are not something both sides can easily bear, so the think tank analyzes that both the Heavenly Court and the Buddha’s Gate will change their strategies and take action against the Demon Domain and the demon race.
"Is this analysis reliable?"
"It is quite reliable. For now, I cannot see any problems. The Heavenly Court and the Buddha’s Gate are using advanced technology, their overall strength keeps improving, and they have advanced technology as support."
Several battles have already shown that Space Battleships are a great help for cultivators, but the demon race does not have them. To be honest, it is very wise for both sides to turn their efforts against the demon race, and there are wise people in the Heavenly Court who would see this too."
Lin Jiang said, "You should pick the soft fruits to squeeze. Right now, the demon race is like a soft fruit. Who wouldn’t want to squeeze it?"
"Then what about the Demon Queen...?"
"It won’t have much effect. You know everyone is interconnected; it’s normal for some technology to leak, just like a sieve. There are plenty of university courses on the internet, including at the doctoral level."
Lin Jiang said, "With the advancement of technology, it’s hard to keep knowledge secret. As long as it’s not explicitly stated to be confidential, someone will share it online, like those university courses."
Some research groups on the internet, like those studying mathematics, benefit knowledge and technological progress a lot. They have inspired generations of young people to pursue certain fields, and that’s what Lin Jiang enjoys seeing.
So in this situation, there are many spies on the Internet collecting some information, isn’t it normal? No one can blame Lin Jiang and the others.
