"What are we discussing? Are we preparing to attack us?" I asked.
"We don't know either. Other friendly forces sent Void Kings to inform us, so some of the Void Kings are already terrified." Yuzhuo kneaded my arm, looking worried.
Feng Yuan also furrowed her brows. "What will we do if the Void Ancestor comes personally?"
"We can only fight. What else can we do? Are we supposed to hand our master over to take the blame?" Shark Girl rolled her eyes at her.
"Sister, how could I think that? Of course we won't hand our master over to take the blame. If we're going to die, we'll die together!" Feng Yuan hurriedly protested.
"All right. You don't need to worry too much about the Void Ancestor. Even if he wants to move against us, he'll first have the other Imperial Lords test the waters. For now, let's show our submission. We have a large household and vast holdings—we're not lone stragglers." I waved my hand.
"What? Show our submission? But we possess such a vast Void Submerged Land. I heard that the payment of void thoughts isn't calculated the same way as before. New forces, or those that seize new Void Submerged Lands, have to pay more than double the usual amount of void thoughts." Wenyu looked astonished.
"Pay that much? By headcount?" I frowned.
"If two forces fight each other and one ultimately occupies the other, then the calculation is based on the number of large and small voids in the Void Submerged Land they've occupied. In short, they have to pay an amount exceeding the usual grand tribute by onefold. First, this prevents the attacking force from continuing to invade other forces. Second, it helps stabilize the situation, ensuring that we can't keep winning battle after battle
