Today's fourth update: Chapter 3436! 4/4!
"Master, your judgment is wise!" A Li's expression turned serious as he replied in detail, "Among the five remaining Tier-B Races, the four ranked ahead of our Huang Race have, in accordance with 'custom,' successively submitted letters of surrender and preliminary tribute lists to us through secret channels.
Their attitudes are no different from those of the other races that have already surrendered. Once the Huang Race's heavenly troops formally arrive at their territories, they will cede enormous amounts of racial points as agreed and voluntarily relinquish their Sequence Ranking.
The entire process is clear. Nothing abnormal has occurred."
Then his tone shifted, and he frowned slightly. "However... the race ranked last among them, which is also nominally the 'first' in the current B-tier Sequence—the race ranked 501st in the Sequence Ranking—has yet to send back any form of response.
There has been neither a letter of surrender nor a declaration of war. There has not even been any probing contact, as if they are... completely ignoring the overwhelming momentum of the Huang Race's army pressing down upon the Sequence."
A Li continued, "After learning of this, Ranran suggested that we proceed with courtesy before force and send an official envoy to inquire after their intentions, so we can uncover their true stance and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings or conflict caused by a lack of information.
But this matter is of great importance. After all, it concerns the final and most symbolic B-tier Leader. Your disciple cannot make up his mind and does not dare decide on his own, so I came specifically to seek your advice, Master, and ask what our next move should be."
"Sequence Ranking 501... the head of the Tier-B Races..."
Xu Kun narrowed his eyes slightly upon hearing this.
