The first to speak was not one of the twenty-seven civilizations, but Valeri, Emperor of the Tailo Empire, one of the greatest beneficiaries of this campaign against the Dore Realm.
Even Lin Zhen was somewhat surprised by this.
Although he had expected that the other seven civilizations might also consider an exchange, he had not expected Valeri to make his decision even faster than the twenty-seven civilizations.
"Your Majesty Valeri, are you serious?"
Lin Zhen looked at Valeri and asked.
"Yes. The Tailo Empire currently possesses thirty-two universes within the Kunsa Realm, and according to this distribution, we should receive another fifteen. That makes forty-seven universes in total!"
"I doubt anyone would refuse to have forty-seven additional universes under their civilization's control, would they?"
"More importantly, they are separated across two different Black Hole Cavities. Even for the Tailo Empire, managing them would be extremely difficult!"
Of course, that was merely the stated reason, and only a small part of why Valeri had made this choice.
The true reason was—
From Lin Zhen's words, Valeri had immediately concluded that the Federation was preparing to clear out the Kunsa Realm and turn it into a Black Hole Cavity Realm exclusively for humanity.
