The people who arrived on the ship were quickly welcomed inside.
The Emperor observed the crowd's gazes and first focused on Guan Pu, a powerful figure of similar strength to himself, and they also had information about this powerful figure.
After all, the Empire had clashed with them many times, so it naturally needed to collect information about the Celestial Throne Civilization.
The strength of individuals within the Celestial Throne Civilization varies greatly, a fact they have studied extensively. The powerful Immortal Throne figure present here is the president of the Celestial Throne Civilization's Law Reform Association Committee.
This person was the one who once prevented their fleet from descending into this universe, causing the fleet they sent out to collect resources and repair the vulnerabilities to suffer heavy losses.
After observing for a while, the emperor finally looked away.
He looked at the petite girl standing next to him.
Su Xi spoke first, "So? You've come here now to sign an alliance with me, or to do something else?"
The emperor naturally ignored Su Xi's meaningful gaze.
Su Xi knew that if Guan Pu wasn't around, the Flowing Silver Empire would definitely want to capture her and then exploit her abilities for free.
The emperor also knew that Su Xi had guessed they would do this.
But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it; if you're not strong enough, you're naturally not qualified to negotiate.
Su Xi is able to stand here now mainly because of Guan Pu's presence.
However, considering the special laws that Su Xi possessed, the Emperor felt that he should be more lenient in his attitude.
To avoid upsetting her and getting her to beat me up after she's promoted to Supreme Level, that would be incredibly embarrassing.
After thinking for a moment, the Emperor nodded calmly and said, "We have already drafted the detailed terms of the alliance. You can read them carefully before signing. If you have any questions, you can raise them and we will revise them on the spot to make terms that we both agree to."
Su Xi sat down and began to browse the details of the alliance.
It does indeed explain in detail that before Su Xi activates the World Tree, the Empire will help her advance to the Supreme Level. After the advancement is successful, she will need to help them repair the collapse points of the universe.
After the repairs are completed, the Empire will help Earth Civilization and Sen Star Civilization accelerate their evolution. In addition to these basic conditions, the most important thing is the security between the two sides.
The text clearly states that the Imperial Civilization will not, in any way, harm or threaten Su Xi or her civilization.
Su Xi was finally relieved.
Of course, what left Su Xi somewhat speechless was that each of these safety regulations was followed by an explanation that both parties needed to abide by them, and any breach of the agreement would be subject to the consequences of the covenant's laws.
The overseer of this covenant law is, in fact, the Great Dao.
This seems to be an ability of a Level 6 civilization, or Supreme Level powerhouse; a promise made, or an alliance signed, possessing some kind of special binding force.
Those who disobey will suffer very severe consequences.
After reading it herself, Su Xi showed the covenant to Iksil, Yuan Yi, Guan Pu, and the others. Once they confirmed that there were no problems, Su Xi responded.
"There is no problem with the alliance."
The Emperor nodded as expected, after all, they didn't have much time to waste on the negotiations of the alliance. However, he still wanted to secure more benefits, so he said, "Our Empire promises to help you advance to the Supreme Level. When you do, in addition to helping us repair the collapsed points, can you also revive the stars of our universe by controlling the World Tree?"
Su Xi was speechless and crossed her arms, saying, "This is not within the scope of the alliance. Besides, I am not very familiar with the situation of the World Tree. It is already very good that I can activate the World Tree to help you repair the collapsed points."
To be honest, if the other party hadn't offered so much and could help her advance to the Supreme Level in a short time, Su Xi wouldn't have made such an uncertain choice.
After all, she really didn't know anything about the World Tree.
Even the ability to activate the World Tree was something the other party told him.
Fortunately, despite the uncertainty, Su Xi had left herself a way out.
That is the [Law of Life]. This law is so powerful that she can ignore the Flowing Silver Empire's demand for the return of resources after the activation fails.
To put it simply, if the World Tree is activated, then help repair it; if not, then they're just getting free resources from the Flowing Silver Empire.
Perfect.
"Before signing the alliance, all the resources our empire had reserved for war will be used on you. When the World Tree is activated and faces enemies, the empire will not be of much help."
The Emperor said these words before the two signed the agreement.
"Of course, we will do our best."
The implication is that if something is beyond our capabilities, you'll have to solve it yourself.
After Su Xi advanced to the Supreme Level and successfully activated the World Tree, she was required to fulfill the covenant. Therefore, even without the Empire's help, she would handle it on her own.
As long as the [Law of Life] exists, those Supreme Level powerhouses will only become weaklings in front of her.
Her attributes have been reduced by 80%, meaning even those Supreme Level experts might not be able to break through her defenses.
There's nothing to worry about.
Su Xi readily agreed.
Soon, the two successfully signed their names on the covenant. A powerful law instantly entered their life information and merged with it.
"This kind of alliance is really powerful..."
Su Xi's eyes widened. This thing could actually be directly engraved into her genes, and even the core of her divine essence was affected by the covenant's power...
"Of course, if there's no effective alliance, then anyone can break it." The emperor was used to this.
However, Su Xi's expression turned strange after a short while.
The effect of this covenant belongs to the curse-type law, but this law is of the Supreme Level, and she cannot be exempted from it.
But if she were to advance to the Supreme Level, she would be exempt from the curse damage inflicted for violating the covenant.
In other words, now only the Emperor needs to abide by the covenant...
"Good heavens..."
Su Xi muttered a complaint under her breath.
Once the alliance was signed, the Flowing Silver Empire began rapidly gathering resources and then expanding its reach.
The ascension to godhood of the World Tree is quite complicated. It differs from the Flowing Silver Empire civilization and the Celestial Throne Civilization. This ascension requires the consumption of Faith Power.
What the Flowing Silver Empire wants to do is spread her fame throughout the universe; the more believers she has, the faster her godhood can be promoted.
In addition, all life in their empire will be hypnotized and suggested to regard Su Xi as the Silver Guardian, whose status is only lower than that of the Emperor.
Of course, it is not enough for the entire population of the Flowing Silver Empire to collectively believe in Su Xi. Therefore, in addition to the empire, the emperor also intends to spread Su Xi's fame throughout the universe.
Only by doing this can Su Xi be promoted to the Supreme Level in a short period of time.
