In fact, Shen Shi never expected Yulan to propose this suggestion.
This was indeed his original plan.
The reason is simple, this alliance emerged a thousand three hundred years later, led by a newly joined C-level Peak Civilization in Gus Land. Unexpectedly, Gus Land agreed to the alliance's demands, not only raising transaction prices but also not taking any actions afterward. This directly allowed the leading new civilization to establish a foothold shortly after arriving in Gus Land and gain substantial benefits.
This can be considered one of the future opportunities.
