The Meeting After Several Thousand Years

Looking at the small fleet outside and comparing it with the spacecraft he was riding in, Kao silently chose to shut down the engines.

A tow cable flew out from one of the main battleships outside, pulling the Deno spacecraft back to the Neptune Space Force Base.

Meanwhile, outside Earth Star in the Chiwu Star System of the Milky Way Galaxy, a spatial wormhole suddenly appeared. Pan Zhen led the Four Guardians out of it.

Looking at the land beneath his feet, Pan Zhen silently analyzed Earth Star's data.

As for the development of civilization across Earth Star, the Great Qin Empire on the Divine Continent was the strongest nation of this era.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared before Pan Zhen and the others. Judging by his face, it was Cang Yun.

"General Pan Zhen, and you four defeated subordinates, come with me. The people you want will arrive soon!"

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Li, standing behind Pan Zhen, roared furiously, "You—Last time, so what if you, a Second Generation God, defeated the four of us? What's there to be proud of? If we had been one level stronger, we still would've beaten you until you cried for your father and mother!"

"Oh? You still dare talk back? I see you've all become Second Generation Divine Bodies now. Want to fight again?"

As he spoke, an eager, itching-for-a-fight expression appeared on Cang Yun's face at just the right moment.

"No. We didn't come here to compete. We have important business to handle and don't have time to spar with you."

Seeing that Cang Yun clearly still wanted to beat the four of them up, Yuan Li wisely chose to refuse.

"All right, stop fooling around. Let's go. I haven't seen Brother Yang in a long time, and I miss him terribly!"

As Pan Zhen spoke, he flew past Cang Yun and headed into Earth Star first. Yuan Li and the others hurriedly followed.

Cang Yun shook his head with a smile and entered Earth Star right behind them.

Kunlun Mountain, inside the Primordial Beginning Palace.

Pan Zhen and the others arrived soon. Behind him, Yuan Li and the others looked around, their faces filled with shock at the magnificent palaces around them.

After entering the Main Hall, everyone took their seats. Pan Zhen spoke first. "Brother Yang, this place of yours is truly magnificent. Buildings like these are rare on Lieyang Star!"

"General Pan Zhen, you flatter me. They're merely places to shelter from the wind and rain. How could they compare with the tens of thousands of years of history of your Lieyang Civilization?"

After Pan Zhen spoke, the two began flattering one another for more than half an hour. It was only when Cang Yun coughed to remind Yang Hua that they finally brought their mutual praise to an end.

"General Pan Zhen, how do you plan to deal with the De Nuo Remnants? Are you going to kill them directly?"

Yang Hua suddenly raised a question they would soon have to face.

Although he already knew that the Lieyang Civilization would ultimately reconcile with Kao and the others, that had only been the original outcome.

Now that he had arrived, many things had already changed. He could no longer guarantee that the Lieyang Civilization would truly reconcile with the De Nuo Civilization.

As Yang Hua asked his question, the four people behind Pan Zhen also focused their gazes on him, all wanting to know Pan Zhen's intentions.

After thinking for a while, Pan Zhen explained to everyone, "I need to consider this carefully. After all, no matter how you look at it, Lieyang destroyed the Deno Star System, causing both civilizations there to perish, with only a small number of people escaping."

"Both sides can be considered victims. There's no question of hatred between us. They destroyed half of Lieyang Star, and we wiped out both of their civilizations."

"That's war. There's no right or wrong, only victors and losers. Besides, war is mutual—one hand alone cannot clap. The destruction of half of Lieyang Star could also be considered our retribution."

"Furthermore, compared with the De Nuo Civilization, our Lieyang Civilization already had a relatively good outcome. At the very least, it was far better than the already-extinct De Nuo Civilization!"

After hearing Pan Zhen's view of the De Nuo War, Yang Hua did not have any strong reaction. Regardless of how the Lieyang Civilization chose to handle the De Nuo Remnants, it had nothing to do with him.

Ever since he transmigrated, the course of this world had already begun moving toward an unpredictable future. His previous understanding of this place could only serve as a reference. If he truly dared to believe it all, he probably would not even know how he had died.

As for Kao and the others, Yang Hua had no particular opinion. For now, he would simply see how Pan Zhen dealt with the De Nuo Civilization.

Just then, a report from a Space Force soldier suddenly sounded beside Yang Hua's ear. "Commander, the people you requested have already been brought over. They're currently outside the Primordial Beginning Palace!"

"Bring them in. Then wait outside. This Venerable One will have something to order you later!"

"Yes, Commander."

Yang Hua then turned to Pan Zhen and said, "The De Nuo Remnants have arrived. Do you want to meet them here?"

"Of course. Brother Yang, please have them come in!"

Upon learning that Kao and the others had arrived, Pan Zhen and Yuan Li's group gradually grew serious.

Although what Pan Zhen had said earlier had already made the attitude of the Lieyang Civilization clear, now that they were truly about to meet the people who had started the De Nuo War, they were still somewhat agitated.

Soon, a squad of ten Space Force soldiers brought three people—a man and two women—into the main hall.

Looking at the familiar Kao, Lian Feng, and Yu Qin before him, Yang Hua waved for the squad of Space Force soldiers to leave, then said to the three of them, "You are remnants of the De Nuo Civilization. Why have you come to my Earth Star?"

This was also the question Yang Hua most wanted answered. Why had Du Kao chosen Earth Star when there were so many planets in the Known Universe?

Or had the Super God Academy chosen Earth Star? As for the claim that Du Kao had drawn the attention of Death God Karl to Earth, Yang Hua could not agree.

Death God Karl had discovered Earth Star more than twenty thousand years ago. He had even established a Great Worm Bridge on Pluto in the Chiwu Star System.

Even now, that Great Worm Bridge remained there. It had merely been sealed by Yang Hua.

Therefore, the claim that Du Kao had lured Death God Karl to Earth was simply impossible.

Besides, Du Kao was only Du Kao. Even if he was a war fanatic renowned throughout the universe, it was still impossible for him to make Death God Karl dispatch an army to attack Earth Star, wasn't it?

Another explanation involved the Super God Academy's genes. But with Karl's technology, did he even need those? Hua Ye had once said that Karl's technology had already far surpassed that of the Super God Academy, so this could not have been the reason either.

Looking at the young man on the principal seat who was questioning him, as well as the people from the Lieyang Civilization beside him, the three of them did not conceal anything and answered honestly. "The Space Principal sent us here. He was also the one who gave us this planet's coordinates!"
