# Chapter 2566: Layout of the Starry Sky! Far-sighted and Visionary
Seeing Jiangnan's smug, confident expression, everyone couldn't help but feel intrigued!
Odin kept raising his eyebrows:
(๑◔ヮ◔ิ)"Good Big Brother! Don't just hold it in here, what clever trick do you have? Spit it out!"
Black God excitedly said: (ง●ง)"Are you going to pull some shady operation again?"
Jiangnan grinned: "Very simple, just list out all the difficulties we're facing one by one, then solve them one by one!"
"I don't think the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle is that hard to handle. Burning resources? Doesn't exist! If I work my ass off and don't make a profit, that's a loss!"
Everyone was stunned. What, you don't want to invest resources in the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle? You actually want to make a profit?
Jiangnan raised one finger: "First! We lack manpower! Second! Our foundation is insufficient to support large-scale warfare! Third! We have too many base planets to defend, hard to guard and easy to attack!"
"Fourth, we have too few high-end combatants to withstand the joint overwhelm of many races' strong experts! Fifth, with humanity's current production and construction capabilities, we can't build over ten thousand base planets and perfect our stronghold within 180 days..."
One by one, Jiangnan listed the difficulties they faced. Yang Jian, Odin, and the others' faces grew darker with each point!
Baldr covered his forehead:
(ﾉ)´-﹏-`)"Stop talking, the more you say, the more I feel there's no hope. We can't fight this kind of scale of racial war!"
Jiangnan grinned: (〃՞↼՞)"Who says there's no hope? Just solve them one by one, right? Everyone saw the combat rules in the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, didn't they?"
As he spoke, his big hand pointed at the rule projection!
Everyone's gaze followed Jiangnan's pointing direction!
Yang Jian muttered: "In this Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, combatants are not limited to members of the same race. Alliances, joint operations, slave races, allied races, reinforcements, etc., can all participate in battle without restriction!"
"In the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, all means available for war are permitted. The Sacred Law Council will not intervene!"
Freya tilted her head: (#•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣"What's so noteworthy about this? Wasn't there an alliance during the Cosmos Grand Hunt too? Now they've just added slave races and foreign races!"
"For races with a huge number of slave races, this is actually a good thing!"
Jiangnan knocked the table: "The important thing is that it's no longer limited to only members of the same race! I've said before, if we want to fight the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle beautifully, humans can't do it alone!"
"This Starry Sky world has never been a place for lone fighters. A lone brave heart is doomed not to go far. Alliances are imperative!"
"Remember the Carbon-Based Alliance plan I mentioned last time?"
Yang Jian was stunned, his eyes brightening: "Forming an alliance?"
Jiangnan snapped his fingers and grinned:
(͡°ꇴ͡°)✧"Not enough manpower? Allies have it! Not enough foundation? Allies have it! Too many bases to defend? Allies help defend together!"
"Not enough high-end combatants? Borrow from allies! Building bases? Allies help build! Allies for life, what I don't have, allies have!"
Odin, Baldr, and the others almost coughed up blood and died on the spot!
Your way of solving problems is way too simple and crude!
Freya's mouth twitched:
(︶﹏︶#)"Then being your ally is way too miserable! Eating allies' food, drinking allies' drinks, using allies' stuff? Are allies just big suckers?"
"Why would they ally with you? They only give and get nothing in return! Who would work for nothing?"
Jiangnan spread his hands, looking matter-of-fact:
ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ"At least they got me, right? Isn't that enough? They hit the jackpot, you know?"
Cooper swallowed his saliva, looking astonished:
∑(°口°๑)"I thought Freya was already shameless enough, but Boss Nan is even more shameless than her! Shocking!"
Freya: (#•᷄ࡇ•᷅)???
Cooper! Do you have any manners?
Although there's a little bit of logic, Jiangnan is indeed strong, even in the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, he's an invincible existence!
But using this as the basis for alliance interest exchange is obviously not enough. Alliances are about win-win situations. If only you win, who would work with you?
Jiangnan grinned: "Alright! I'll stop joking with you! I can give my allies an absolutely safe rear base! Even if a Star Devourer comes down to snatch base planets, I guarantee they'll come but never return!"
"Since the Sacred Law Council has formulated a series of rules targeting humans, we'll just show them up under the rules!"
Chong Feiyu was stunned:
∑(°口°๑)"Damn! You mean the Netherworld Race? You're going to bring in the Netherworld Race?"
Jiangnan pointed at Chong Feiyu:
(σ͡°̫͡°)σ"You're like the little tapeworm in my pants~"
Chong Feiyu: ???
Tapeworm in what? The scale of yours could be called a tapeworm?
Black God smacked his lips: "You've been planning this for a long time?"
Jiangnan grinned: "After all, I still haven't fulfilled my promise to Brother Nether. This time is a good opportunity!"
"We can have the Netherworld Race enter as foreign reinforcements!"
Yang Jian frowned: (｡･ˇกˇ･｡)"This is indeed not a bad idea. The Netherworld Race's strength is indeed formidable!"
"But there's a problem that can't be ignored. Will other races agree? Will the Sacred Law Council allow the Netherworld Race to operate outside the Minghe Star Domain?"
"Their abilities have a suppressive effect on all races. They are a threat!"
Jiangnan nodded: "If we want the Netherworld Race to participate in the battle and join the Starry Sky Sequence, humans alone are not enough! Our voice is not heavy enough to challenge authority!"
"But if we add the Dark Cosmos, Apocalypse, Gamma, and even the Insect Race to help speak up together, that should be enough to influence the Sacred Law Council's decision, right?"
"Indeed! The existence of the Netherworld Race is a huge threat to any race, but that's only when they are regarded as hypothetical enemies!"
"If the Netherworld Race is our unbreakable ally, then the original threat can become our advantage!"
Yang Jian swallowed his saliva: "You mean to pull the Netherworld Race into the fold, form alliances with the major races, establish an interest chain? Have these races jointly protect the Netherworld Race? So they can participate in the war and also smoothly join the Starry Sky Sequence?"
Xiao Chuihuo frowned: "I have one question. Things might not go as smoothly as imagined. For the Dark Cosmos, Apocalypse, and others..."
"Even if the Netherworld Race is an ally, the threat still exists! There's no guarantee that the Netherworld Race will never be their enemy!"
"So compared to releasing a tiger back to the mountains, it's better to keep them caged from the start. This is probably the reason why the Netherworld Race has always been in a difficult situation?"
Jiangnan nodded and smiled: "I've considered that too! The question is... is the threat from the Bose race greater, or the threat from the Netherworld Race?"
"The Bose race is like a mountain pressing down on all races. No one can beat them in arm wrestling. Whether it's Silicon-based or Dark Cosmos, they all have ambitious aspirations!"
"And the Netherworld Race's ability is one of the few methods that can counter the Bose Body! If we want to change the world, the Netherworld Race is an indispensable condition!"
"Pulling the Netherworld Race in as an ally means the alliance has the capital to confront the Bose race!"
At this moment, Jiangnan was speaking eloquently, leaving everyone stunned. Clearly, this plan had been brewing in Jiangnan's mind for a long time!
Jiangnan continued: "The establishment of the Carbon-Based Alliance is not just for this Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, but also for subsequent development. We need to form our own interest circle!"
"Just like the Starlight Alliance business circle of energy bodies, once the Carbon-Based Alliance is established, it will only be more stable than the Starlight Alliance!"
"Tying the major races to our chariot, even if we face oppression from the Bose race in the future, we'll have capital for confrontation. Sitting firmly in the center of Starry Sky power, we can also have a greater voice!"
"When the time comes, even the Bose race won't be able to mess with us casually!"
Everyone listening felt their scalps tingle and got goosebumps looking at Jiangnan!
Yang Jian's eyes widened: (๑ʘ̅дʘ̅๑)"You've laid out a huge plan! If successful, it would be a feat that could change the current Starry Sky pattern!"
"Paving the way for humanity's future? You bastard..."
He silently figured out such a huge plan without a sound? And he's already laid most of it out?
Odin's eyelids twitched too. Good Big Brother was never the type of reckless brawler. When it came to scheming, he had more than anyone!
But no one expected Jiangnan to think so far ahead. The Carbon-Based Alliance plan?
And this is just one of Jiangnan's layouts. The Star Project hasn't even been factored in yet!
A heart with a fierce tiger, gently sniffing roses. That's Jiangnan, isn't it?
Chasing fame and profit? Climbing up by any means? That isn't difficult for Jiangnan.
If this is what must be done, then Jiangnan will do it.
Jiangnan waved his hand: (︶.̮︶〃)ﾉ"Don't all look at me like that. I don't have that kind of foresight either. It's just going with the flow after entering the Ming He Death Prison~ coincidence~ just coincidence~"
Everyone rolled their eyes. Bullshit!
You can come up with a Carbon-Based Alliance from prison? How come I haven't seen anyone else come up with one?
Obviously, from the moment humans entered the Starry Sky, Jiangnan was already thinking about how to make humans carve out a place in the Starry Sky.
Better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail!
Xiao Chuihuo said bluntly: "But this still isn't enough to eliminate other races' concerns about the Netherworld Race's abilities! And if we really do this..."
"This is also something we need to consider!"
Since they were all their own people, Xiao Chuihuo naturally spoke directly, and Jiangnan didn't mind.
Without long-term worries, there must be near-term anxieties!
Jiangnan smiled: "If I weren't confident, I wouldn't dare do this. After all, I've been betrayed too many times."
"The Netherworld Race's ability is indeed a threat, but it has one extremely fatal flaw!"
Black God looked at Jiangnan and grinned:
(￢﹏￢●)"Little brother, if you really start playing mind games, you could sell someone out and have them count money for you, right?"
