"Impossible! How could there be nothing here?"
"The Great Clock clearly detected a high-energy reaction at these coordinates! The Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization cannot possibly not be here!"
"The Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization must have used some special technology to completely hide itself!"
"Otherwise, there was no way we could be seeing absolutely nothing!"
Even with the facts laid out before her, Death God Karl still refused to accept them.
In her view, the advanced energy fluctuations detected by the Great Clock had definitely been caused by the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization using a reward from the Ranking System!
Otherwise, even if a hundred supernovas exploded at once, they could not possibly produce such an enormous energy fluctuation!
Only a Ranking System reward could create such immense energy fluctuations!
After muttering to herself for a few moments, Death God Karl once again connected to the communication channels of the "Alliance" and the "Top Civilization Alliance."
Death God Karl did not care about resources, but she cared about her reputation!
If she failed to give everyone a reasonable explanation this time, it would become extremely difficult for her to rally the various civilizations of the universe again in the future!
Therefore, if she wanted others to form an alliance with her again in the future to oppose the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization, she had to placate every civilization within this Alliance through promises of benefits or verbal persuasion!
Otherwise, if even a single civilization was not properly appeased, her prestige throughout the universe would plummet!
Although her reputation had not been particularly good before the Ranking System appeared, that was only because the theories she studied were simply unacceptable to ordinary civilizations.
Her personal influence was still considerable. Otherwise, she could not have gathered so many people together with just a few words and a set of data.
In Death God Karl's own words, academic disagreement and social dealings were two entirely different matters!
In the Alliance communication channel.
"Main Gods and representatives of every civilization, please remain calm for now!"
"I just used the Great Clock to recalculate the entire Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization!"
"Even after recalculating it, this remains the most likely location of the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization!"
The moment she connected to the Alliance channel formed by the Secondary Civilizations, Death God Karl impatiently began explaining herself.
Carl was not actually someone who liked to show off. Under other circumstances, even if she had made a mistake, she would never have been so eager to give an explanation!
But the situation was different now. Faced with this, Carl had to seize the initiative from the start!
Only then could she firmly maintain the upper hand in the conversation.
As Carl's voice rang through the Alliance channel, the already noisy channel became even more chaotic!
[Bearman Civilization's Main God: "Death God Karl, if this is the extent of your explanation, then forgive me for finding it unacceptable!"] [Giant Civilization's Main God: "The Bearman Civilization is right! Do you know how much I paid for this campaign? If this is the extent of your explanation, then our Giant Civilization is not to be trifled with either!"] [Dwarf Civilization's Main God: "Exactly! If you, Carl, had not sworn to us that you had found the location of the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization, would we have agreed so easily to join your Alliance?"] [Colored People Civilization's Main God: "Stop spouting useless nonsense! Death God Karl, just tell us directly how you intend to resolve this! If you do not handle this matter properly for us, hmph hmph~!"]
Listening to the accusations against her in the Alliance channel, Death God Karl, standing within Death Academy, nodded almost imperceptibly.
These civilizations' reactions were all within Carl's plans!
As long as the Main Gods of these Secondary Civilizations still had demands for benefits, resolving this matter would be exceptionally easy for Carl!
If the Main Gods of these Secondary Civilizations no longer had even the most basic demands for benefits, that would be Death God Karl's greatest trouble!
With that in mind, after pondering for a moment, Death God Karl spoke once more in the Alliance channel and began laying out her solution for these Secondary Civilizations.
"I understand your feelings. In this matter, I was indeed negligent."
"So, I have decided to compensate you Secondary Civilizations for the resources you lost."
"In a moment, I will use the Great Clock to return all the resources I am compensating you for."
"That way, once you accept my resources, it will be as though you suffered no losses at all. Consider it nothing more than a trip to the edge of the Known Universe."
"And from then on, there will be no further obligations between us!"
"However, I have another proposal here. Would you like to hear it?"
At that point, Death God Karl directly fell silent, beginning to whet the appetites of these Secondary Civilizations.
She had no choice. Otherwise, Death God Karl estimated that she would have to spend quite a few resources on these four Secondary Civilizations!
[Bearman Civilization's Main God: "What proposal? Tell us first!"] [Giant Civilization's Main God: "Yes! Tell us first. Let us see whether your other proposal is reasonable and whether we can accept it!"]
This time, only the Bearman Civilization and the Giant Civilization spoke. The Main Gods of the other two civilizations had no intention of speaking at all.
But for Death God Karl, having these two civilizations speak was already enough!
Because she was utterly confident in her next proposal.
As long as she voiced the proposal, the Main Gods of these four Secondary Civilizations would definitely choose it without hesitation!
Filled with such confidence, Death God Karl slowly spoke in the Alliance channel. "According to my investigation, this location is indeed where the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization is situated."
"However, the reason we did not see the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization here is entirely because it possesses an advanced concealment technology!"
"As long as we can crack this advanced concealment technology, we will be able to see the real Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization!"
"So, my other proposal is this: I will first send you back from this location to your respective civilizations. Then, when we launch the next campaign against the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization, I will give priority to your four civilizations!"
"Not only that, after the campaign is over, I will reimburse all the resources you spent on both expeditions!"
