Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 509 - 295: Supporting the Development of Affiliates
Humans have conquered distance, and this is not a lie.
On the contrary, it is the most truthful reality.
So in this regard, humans are not afraid of being known by any information, and even deliberately showcase some information.
Including relocating the Ancestral Spirit Civilization with the Holy Land was actually based on such considerations.
Now it has clearly worked.
Even the Xisoke Civilization, in the current situation, has to seriously consider whether to ally with the Human Civilization.
However, the Xisoke are ultimately not as weak as some other civilizations.
The weak have no choice.
But they have many choices.
At the very worst, even if they are completely suppressed by other civilizations and lose their current status, they will not perish, and there is even a significant chance that they can rise again—past connections lie there. As a firm supporter of the Thousand Alliance, even when weakened, other civilizations with the same stance and in the same camp will help due to shared conflict interests.
Therefore, allying with humans is a high-reward but equally high-risk option for them.
"We could send a delegation to contact this mysterious power," said a Xisoke senior official in the end. "One way or another, gathering more information will aid us in making the most accurate decision."
Everyone’s attention turned back to their Emperor.
The moment for the Emperor to make a decision came once again.
In the past, such opportunities might not even occur once in thousands of years, but in the recent centuries, they have appeared repeatedly.
This shows that.
The entire known cosmos has begun to become unsafe, and even such powerful civilizations cannot make the right choice.
The Emperor didn’t hesitate too long; hesitation at this moment was meaningless. He followed the most fundamental choice in his heart.
"Send a delegation to discuss allegiance with this civilization—without such a statement, we simply won’t obtain any useful intelligence."
This response left many in the Xisoke high command silent.
The Human Civilization may not be cruel, but it is unquestionably domineering.
This can be seen from how quickly they responded with full force when merely an owner of a relic was oppressed.
Furthermore, having truly conquered distance, they will inevitably adopt such means to strengthen control over all affiliates.
Because they must establish their own authority.
This belongs to the system of conquerors!
Understanding this, yet still negotiating allegiance, clearly highlighted the Emperor’s inclination.
It also signified that.
Unless final intelligence proves that not joining yields greater benefits, there’s basically no room for hesitation.
"Understood!"
Everyone remained silent, merely accepting the decision of the meeting.
For such a powerful civilization, its regime has already been guarded for countless years and commands respect from every individual.
However, the Xisoke People could never have expected.
The tentacles of humans had already completely enveloped them, and even their Emperor, in fact, was also unconsciously influenced—the Emperor is indeed the most powerful individual in the entire civilization, but Shen Shi’s strength far surpasses the Emperor’s.
With power comparable to the Pasture Master, plus control over the Time Domain, and the portability of the Holy Land, Shen Shi had already become the most terrifying "Ghost Assassin" in the interstellar realm.
If not for having lesser tactics and power compared to the Pasture Master, Shen Shi might have already considered ambushing the Pasture Master.
But regardless.
Everything is progressing in the direction Shen Shi planned.
"Once the Xisoke delegation arrives, we’ll proceed according to the plan," Shen Shi instructed everyone else one last time.
He made sure everyone was prepared.
The most crucial moment in this operation is about to arrive.
Even the future timeline presents issues with this event—something Shen Shi must change in the past.
The Xisoke delegation actually arrived very quickly.
It was a powerful fleet of 200,000 warships.
Though its might was formidable, enough to sweep through this star system excluding a few other civilizations.
However, for the Xisoke Civilization, this number was merely sufficient to maintain respect and awe—it held no deterrence against civilizations of the same or greater strength. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"The leader dispatched by the Xisokes is named Xi Qian," Shen Shi shared intelligence obtained through foresight, "Xi Qian’s Primordial Energy capabilities are second only to the Emperor’s; he was actually also a candidate for Emperor and nearly succeeded. Although he ultimately failed, he remains the de facto second figure in the Xisoke Civilization, arguably the first figure when the Emperor’s power is heavily limited."
"Indeed, they’re serious..." everyone became attentive.
They understood the Xisoke Civilization’s regime, hence better comprehending this character’s position.
Bluntly speaking, unless it’s about something potentially impacting the civilization’s entire future, he has the authority to make any decisions.
"Seriousness indeed, but this Xi Qian was once injured on the frontline battlefield," Shen Shi’s expression was quite solemn, "I can tell you, it was during a direct war with the Pasture Master, in other words, he survived fighting the Pasture Master and has since never engaged in direct Primordial Energy confrontations, suggesting his injuries haven’t healed, and his consciousness is significantly affected. I suspect unless this allegiance is secured directly, upon returning, he’ll inevitably forfeit his current position."
