Establishing Diplomatic Relations

"Tsk, tsk!" As the Xia He Civilization Fleet concentrated its firepower toward where Old Man Xuan Tian was located, Nasi Xiu looked in that direction with amazed clicks of his tongue.

The Xia He Civilization Fleet before him was far stronger than Nasi Xiu had anticipated.

It can absolutely match the level of my old man at his full eruption, Nasi Xiu thought. (Nasi Xiu had been away from the Wizard Civilization for a long time and did not know that Saine's current combat strength had already touched upon half-step level nine.)

However, what left Nasi Xiu somewhat regretful afterward was that the Xia He Civilization Fleet had not completely erased Old Man Xuan Tian.

Instead, it seemed more like they had driven him away completely!

Several scraps of gray tattered cloth drifting through this starry sky, along with some of Old Man Xuan Tian's hair and bloodstains, marked the fact that he had suffered a setback on the outskirts of Xia He Civilization territory.

This result was barely good enough.

After all, those scraps of cloth were, no matter what, fragments of a World-Class Secret Treasure.

That hair and those bloodstains were also bodily materials from an eighth-level Dominator.

Nasi Xiu let out a somewhat regretful sigh. He had originally hoped that the Xia He Civilization could directly fight Old Man Xuan Tian, so he could see whether he might reap the profits as a fisherman watching two snipe and clam fight.

This situation also made Nasi Xiu put away his Four Swords of Zhuxian, without revealing the slightest trace of their aura.

Old Man Xuan Tian was a wolf, while the Xia He Civilization was a tiger.

Having been hunted by Old Man Xuan Tian all the way here, Nasi Xiu had no desire to be targeted by a new civilization as well.

Still, the Xia He Civilization appeared far more reasonable than Old Man Xuan Tian.

Especially the Third Princess before him. If Nasi Xiu could build a good relationship with her, at the very least, getting through this immediate crisis would not be a problem.

Only then did Nasi Xiu finally realize that he seemed to have left someone behind.

"Eh, where's my brother?" Nasi Xiu raised his head and looked behind him.

Only after a long while did he see Gui Mie Demon Ancestor appear in this stretch of starry sky under the escort of several Cosmic War Fleets.

Gui Mie Demon Ancestor had mingled in the Star Realm for so long that it was no fool. Like Nasi Xiu, it had never revealed its Gui Mie Blade.

Whether the Four Swords of Zhuxian or the Gui Mie Blade, items of such a level were indeed too eye-catching.

Even though the Xia He Civilization currently appeared courteous and refined, neither Nasi Xiu nor Gui Mie Demon Ancestor wished to gamble their entire fortunes on the other party's noble character.

On the contrary, Nasi Xiu and Gui Mie Demon Ancestor had fought side by side for a long time. The two knew each other inside out, and in such an unfamiliar environment, they could look out for one another.

Old Man Xuan Tian fled very quickly.

This was Xia He Civilization territory. The longer he delayed, the more Xia He Civilization Fleets would arrive!

With Old Man Xuan Tian's strength, how could he contend against an entire Top-Level Civilization?

If things dragged on a little longer, even if the Xia He Civilization commander had not originally planned to kill him, certain thoughts would probably gradually arise in his mind.

After pursuing and driving Old Man Xuan Tian all the way into the empty starry sky beyond Xia He Civilization territory, the commander of the Invincible Fleet, who was also the Third Princess's uncle, finally appeared before Nasi Xiu, Gui Mie Demon Ancestor, and the others with his enormous fleet.

Although he did not emerge from the flagship as the Third Princess had to show goodwill, the Xia He Civilization commander before them was at least relatively mild in his words.

He acknowledged the diplomatic friendship terms the Third Princess had previously discussed with Nasi Xiu on behalf of the Xia He Civilization.

Then, during the subsequent exchange, the Xia He Civilization commander suddenly mentioned, "Our Xia He Civilization has actually heard of the Evil Tide crisis as well."

"And from a friendly Dominator beyond an extremely distant star region, we heard of the Nine Stars Civilization that established the Demon Subjugation Alliance."

"I never expected that we would encounter two experts from the Nine Stars Civilization here today," the Xia He Civilization commander said.

"Uh, ah? Hahaha, that's wonderful." Nasi Xiu's expression stiffened for an instant, but he adjusted himself at once and said with a laugh.

"Here, on behalf of the Nine Stars Civilization, I solemnly invite the Xia He Civilization to join the Demon Subjugation Alliance and discuss the grand undertaking of resisting the Evil Tide!" Nasi Xiu said seriously.

When Nasi Xiu said this, Gui Mie Demon Ancestor beside him wore a strange expression.

However, Gui Mie Demon Ancestor was ultimately an Elemental Creature. The black flames across its body merely burned a little more fiercely and did not draw much attention.

Faced with Nasi Xiu's immediate invitation, the Xia He Civilization commander remained reserved and cautious.

He replied, "Whether the Nine Stars Civilization or the even more distant Evil Tide Civilization, both are civilizations from alien star districts separated from our Xia He Civilization by vast stretches of time and space."

"As for whether to intervene in the war between Both Civilizations, setting aside whether I possess such authority, even my elder brother, the Emperor of the Xia He Civilization, may not have it."

"This requires a council vote, guided by the will of all Xia He Civilization citizens," the Xia He Civilization commander said.

Upon hearing that the Xia He Civilization was extremely far from the star regions where the Evil Tide and Nine Stars Civilizations were located, Nasi Xiu could not help secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

He was also rather astonished. Just how far had he run? He had never even heard of the Xia He Civilization before.

"Next, on behalf of the Xia He Civilization royal family, I invite the two experts of the Nine Stars Civilization to visit the heartland of the Xia He Civilization."

"May I know what the two of you think?"

"Perhaps we can discuss in detail the matter of establishing diplomatic relations between our two civilizations," the Xia He Civilization commander said.

And rather intriguingly, as the Xia He Civilization commander spoke these words, the main cannons of the vast Xia He Civilization Fleets under his command intentionally or otherwise pointed toward where Nasi Xiu and Gui Mie Demon Ancestor were.

Of course, those main cannons were not charging.

The sight of Old Man Xuan Tian being driven away was still vivid in their minds.

There was naturally no reason to doubt the strength of the Xia He Civilization Fleets.

Holding the Third Princess's hand beside him, Nasi Xiu looked at the starry sky around them, where numerous warship wrecks and metallic flames still drifted, and replied righteously, "Of course. It would be our honor."

"I strongly suspect that the old man who pursued us earlier was a spy infiltrated into this star region by the Evil Tide Civilization."

"The great undertaking of resisting the Evil Tide's expansion cannot brook delay!" Nasi Xiu said.

The Xia He Civilization commander did not respond to this matter. Instead, he asked another question. "May I know how to address the two of you?"

Before Gui Mie Demon Ancestor could answer, Nasi Xiu rushed to say, "My name is Sword Star Envoy, and it is Gui Star Envoy."

"We would be very willing to represent our civilization and sign a friendly diplomatic agreement with your side," Nasi Xiu said sincerely.

As he spoke, Nasi Xiu sent a Mental Strength transmission to Gui Mie Demon Ancestor. "For any Law Contract signed afterward, I have to handle it personally. Don't touch it!"

Damn it, I suddenly regret not properly studying magic with my father and mother back then.

I hope the little bit I've got in my belly will be enough to carry this through, Nasi Xiu muttered to himself.
