A Meeting After Thousands of Years

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

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

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

Gazing at the land below, Pan Zhen silently analyzed the data on Earth Star.

The entire civilization development on Earth Star was such that only the Great Qin Empire on the Divine Continent was the strongest nation of this era.

Just then, a figure appeared before Pan Zhen and the others, and by the face, it was Cang Yun.

"General Pan Zhen, and you four defeated lackeys, follow me. The person you want will be here soon!"

Before the words faded, Yuan Li, standing behind Pan Zhen, erupted in anger: "You're full of... So what if you, a Second Generation Divine Body, beat the four of us last time? What's there to be proud of? If we had a higher level of power, we'd beat you until you cried for your parents!"

"Oh, still talking back? I see you're all Second Generation Divine Bodies now. Want to go another round?"

As he spoke, Cang Yun's face deliberately showed an eager expression.

"No, we're not here to spar. We have important matters to attend to, no time to compete with you."

Seeing Cang Yun's obvious desire to beat the four of them again, Yuan Li wisely chose to refuse.

"Alright, stop messing around. Let's go. It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Yang. I miss him dearly!"

Pan Zhen said, stepping past Cang Yun and flying first toward the interior of Earth Star, with Yuan Li and the others quickly following.

Cang Yun shook his head with a smile and also followed them into Earth Star.

Inside the Primordial Beginning Palace on Kunlun Mountain.

Pan Zhen and the others soon arrived. Yuan Li and the rest looked around, their faces all filled with awe at the magnificent palace surrounding them.

Entering the Main Hall, everyone took their seats. Pan Zhen spoke first: "Brother Yang, this place is truly grand and spectacular. Such architecture is rare on our Lieyang Star!"

"General Pan flatters me. It's just a place to shelter from wind and rain. How could it compare to your Lieyang Civilization's tens of thousands of years of history!"

With Pan Zhen's opening, the two engaged in half an hour of mutual flattery, until Cang Yun coughed to remind Yang Hua, finally putting an end to it.

"General Pan, how do you plan to handle the De Nuo Remnants? Kill them outright?"

Suddenly, Yang Hua raised a question that was about to become a pressing issue.

Though he knew that in the original outcome, the Lieyang Civilization eventually reconciled with Kao and the others, that was only the original result.

Now, with his arrival, many things had changed. He couldn't guarantee that the Lieyang Civilization would truly reconcile with the Deno Civilization.

As Yang Hua asked, Yuan Li and the other three behind Pan Zhen all fixed their gazes on him, eager to know Pan Zhen's intentions.

After thinking for a moment, Pan Zhen explained to everyone: "I need to consider this matter carefully. After all, no matter what, our Lieyang did destroy the Deno Star System, wiping out both of their civilizations, with only a few escaping."

"All things considered, both sides are victims. There's no real hatred. They destroyed half of Lieyang Star, and we annihilated both their civilizations."

"This is war. There's no right or wrong, only victors and losers. And war is mutual—it takes two to tango. In the end, half of Lieyang Star being destroyed is our retribution!"

"Moreover, compared to the Deno Civilization, our Lieyang Civilization has fared relatively well. At least we're much better off than the Deno Civilization, which has perished!"

Hearing Pan Zhen's perspective on the Deno War, Yang Hua had no strong opinions. Regardless of how the Lieyang Civilization dealt with the De Nuo Remnants, it had nothing to do with him.

Since his transmigration, the course of this world had already veered toward an unpredictable future. His prior knowledge could only serve as a reference. If he dared to trust it completely, he might not even know how he died.

As for Kao and the others, Yang Hua had no objections either. Now, it was up to Pan Zhen to decide how to handle the Deno Civilization.

Just then, a report from a Space Force soldier rang in Yang Hua's ear: "Commander, the people you requested have been delivered. They are now outside the Primordial Beginning Palace!"

"Bring them in, then wait outside. This Venerable One will have further instructions for you shortly!"

"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 call them in!"

Learning that Kao and the others had arrived, Pan Zhen, Yuan Li, and the rest gradually grew serious.

Though Pan Zhen's earlier words had indicated the Lieyang Civilization's stance, now that they were about to face the instigator of the Deno War, they still felt a surge of emotion.

Soon, a squad of ten Space Force soldiers brought in a man and two women into the hall.

Seeing the familiar faces of Kao, Lian Feng, and Yu Qin, Yang Hua waved for the squad to leave, then addressed the three: "You are remnants of the Deno Civilization. Why have you come to our Earth Star?"

This question was also what Yang Hua most wanted to know. With so many planets in the Known Universe, why did Du Kao choose Earth Star?

Or was it the Super God Academy that chose Earth Star? As for the claim that Du Kao drew Death God Karl's attention to Earth, Yang Hua disagreed.

Death God Karl had discovered Earth Star over twenty thousand years ago and had even set up a Great Worm Bridge on Pluto within the Chiwu Star System.

Even now, that Great Worm Bridge remained there, though Yang Hua had sealed it.

So the idea that Du Kao attracted Death God Karl to Earth was simply impossible.

Besides, even if Du Kao was a renowned warmonger across the universe, he couldn't have made Death God Karl dispatch an army to attack Earth Star just for him.

Another theory involved the Super God Academy's genes. With Karl's technology, did he even need those? Hua Ye had said Karl's technology far surpassed the Super God Academy, so that couldn't be the reason either.

Looking at the young man on the main seat questioning them, and the Lieyang Civilization members beside him, Kao and the other two concealed nothing and answered truthfully: "The Space Principal sent us here. He gave us the coordinates of this planet!"
