Today's fourth update: Chapter 3472! 4/4!
With Xu Caiyi and Xu Buwan's lives guaranteed, the most fundamental and important objective of this trip had been achieved for the forces that cared about them.
Everyone was happy—at least on the surface.
However, from the perspective of long-term interests, this meant abandoning all kinds of suppression and containment plans that had long been brewing in secret against this dark horse.
It was no different from allowing a fierce catfish to freely stir up the seemingly tranquil but actually turbulent depths of the Myriad Races.
Although the Huang clan's military might and scale were not yet enough to directly shake the fundamental interests of most of the peak races present, judging from their terrifying rate of expansion, iron-blooded methods, and undisguised hegemonic ambitions, the day their interests directly clashed, or even openly opposed one another, was almost destined to arrive. The only difference was whether it came sooner or later.
This left behind a profound and difficult choice:
Should they "give civilization to the years and give development to the Huang clan," or "give years to civilization and give development to the Huang clan"?
The former was precisely the core appeal Xu Kun wished to convey through his words.
Its purpose was to buy the Huang clan "time" to survive and develop.
Although the Huang clan might use this crisis, with Xu Caiyi and Xu Buwan as two special trump cards, to temporarily avoid many prearranged schemes and plots, thereby securing a relatively fair battlefield environment for the remainder of the Millennium Period War of the Myriad Races.
But every war would eventually end. Once the Myriad Races Battlefield closed and the races returned to Blue Star, what then?
Once the hostages were returned, the Huang clan's deterrent power would be gone.
