The Great Emperor Who Served His Country and People!
[Tochichi Kanjiji, this is the guy who went to inspect Spirit Micro Star last time.]
[But do you remember when Venom was around, this guy got demoted by his father, King Ares, for speaking rudely?]
[Forget it, no need to dwell on it. This kind of Sit-up behavior among royalty is nothing new.]
[Tochichi Kanjiji's immediate demand for a name change, seemingly just empty boasting from an incompetent prince like himself, is actually a show of force from the Ares Immortal Kingdom.]
[This means that as long as you're under the rule of the Immortal Kingdom, even your kingdom's name can be changed at will.]
[They even produced the Vassal Kingdom Agreement on the spot, adding the clause "changing the country's name" to it.]
[While the makeshift team may seem careless and disorganized, it's actually a message to the entire Mysterious Maiden Star System: the Ares Immortal Kingdom can do whatever it wants.]
[On the eve of the signing of the agreement, your ministers secretly came to your bedchamber to request an audience.]
"Why aren't you sleeping so late at night? What are you doing?"
[Civil and military officials, along with a large number of trusted confidants from other Alien Race, knelt down.]
"Your His Majesty! This agreement cannot be signed!"
["Yes! Your His Majesty! This isn't making us vassals, it's making us slaves! We're not even Human Race!"]
"Your His Majesty! We've fought bloody battles for twenty years, not to work for the Ares Immortal Kingdom!"
[You donned a dragon robe, donned the appearance of Dragon Person Race from the Siduoduo clan, and watched these Alien Race with great interest.]
"If I don't sign, do you think Ares will kill me?"
[Everyone is silent; you ask and answer your own question.]
"Of course I will! The first one I'll take down is myself! Can you defeat Ares's royal forces, or do I have the ability to fight against half of the Southern Star Realm?"
[Some reckless people just yelled.]
["Then let's rebel! Why should the Southern Star Realm only have two Immortal Kingdom? We'll be the third! Let's have a three-way balance of power!"]
[You grabbed the nearby light fixture and smashed it.]
["You think you're so tough just because we attacked the Mysterious Maiden Star System! You call that a three-way standoff?! Our leg isn't even as thick as their little finger, what kind of standoff are we talking about?! Are you going to try and hold it up?!"]
[The reckless man is still hot-blooded.]
"I agree!"
"You can't handle this!"
"I can handle it!"
"I can't handle this!"
"Ha, that's manageable."
[You grab a lamppost, walk up to him, and smash it hard against his head.]
["Go ahead! Go ahead! I'll let you go ahead! I'll let you go ahead!"]
Everyone's used to the emperor hitting people.
[You, as emperor, have such a fiery temper. You beat your civil and military officials at the drop of a hat, as if you really dislike them.]
Everyone fell silent again.
They felt very aggrieved.
[It's not because you hit or scolded me.]
[They had no choice but to sign the agreement offered by someone in a higher position.]
You smiled without saying a word.
[Let you experience what it feels like when Human Race suffer injustice.]
[Objectively speaking, the attitude of the Ares Immortal Kingdom towards the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom was far more friendly than that of Alien Race towards Human Race.]
"But don't worry, I don't agree to everything people say. Tomorrow I will try to amend some of the regulations to secure benefits for our Mysterious Maiden Star System!"
[The ministers shouted "Long live the Emperor!" and "He is wise and sagacious!"]
[You succeeded the next day.]
[You've changed everything in the agreement that affected your expedition plans.]
[Kottochik Kanjiji isn't so easy to talk to either.]
[Simple. You've given him more regulations, which will force the Alien Race leaders, nobles, and high-level Cultivator of the Mysterious Maiden Star System to relinquish some benefits, or even suffer significant losses.]
[For example, spirit fields are special land used to grow materials for Alchemy.]
These things are clearly mostly in the hands of powerful Alien Race forces.
[The regulations for vassal states stipulate that 30% of the output from all spirit fields must be handed over to the Ares Immortal Kingdom.]
[And don't even think about pocketing the remaining 80%; you, the emperor, have to hand over 50% to him.]
[Use these resources to subsidize the Human Race and your expedition plan.]
[In short, once this Vassal Kingdom Agreement is signed, the Alien Race forces within the Mysterious Maiden Star System become double laborers for you and the Ares Immortal Kingdom.]
[Therefore, as long as it doesn't affect the Human Race or your expedition needs, Ares can add as many regulations as he wants.]
[If the Alien Race in the Mysterious Maiden Star System have any complaints, you can invoke the banner of the Ares Immortal Kingdom.]
"It's not that I insist on collecting such heavy taxes from you; it's that damned Ares Immortal Kingdom that's forcing me to do it!"
[Perfect.]
The ministers of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom in the audience are unaware that you have subtly altered the agreement.
Seeing how earnestly you argued with the envoys from the Immortal Kingdom, they were deeply moved.
"Your His Majesty has gone to great lengths for our Heavenly Dragon Kingdom!"
[Actually, this shows it.]
[Since the end of the Heavenly Emperor's era, time has passed, and the conflicts between different races may now be greater than the conflicts between different races and humans.]
[The Alien Race only need to be wary of the Human Race, because the Human Race aren't qualified to be on the table. But for the Alien Race Alien Race, it's a question of who gets to eat the cake.]
[One hundred and ninety-eight years, two hundred and twenty-four years old.]
[Extracting terms...]
[Draw successful!]
["Nierdulong" (Green Rare): You cannot hear any sound, allowing you to clear your mind and focus solely on cultivation.]
[Should we adjust the entry?]
[whether]
[You chose no.]
"I'm 224 years old..."
[You have left Blaze Star and are now cultivating on Vermilion Purple Star.]
[Just like last time, the official announcement was that Siduoduo had gone into seclusion, and that important national affairs within the star system could be handled by senior officials.]
[The so-called secluded place is where a clone is left to hold the fort.]
[At 224 years old, this age holds great significance.]
That year, Contamination leaked.
[Based on information obtained from the previous simulation.]
[The so-called Contamination leak is Contamination that was previously sealed in a certain Plane of the Void Realm, but for some unknown reason, it has leaked back into the Real Realm.]
[Starting from this year, the Contamination affected most of the Tianhe Star System.]
[Finally, the slight tremor of the Emperor Tomb statue directly suppressed and neutralized the attack.]
[However, during the period of Contamination, the Tianhe Star System will be in complete chaos.]
The Holy Dragon Society and its affiliated organizations are constantly on the move, exhausted from suppressing riots and chaos in various regions.
[The major powers can barely protect themselves in the face of Contamination, and they must also be wary of other powers of similar strength taking advantage of the situation to attack them.]
[Thus, when all sides are in chaos, that will be the time for your Revitalization Society on an expedition!]
[The preparation time of over twenty years was actually somewhat rushed.]
[Even with the boiler room constantly billowing black smoke, Duobao Tonglao's Artifact Refining team hasn't been able to complete the large expeditionary Star Boat needed for the entire fleet; they've only finished about 60% of the planned scale.]
[The cultivation progress of the various geniuses scattered across multiple First-Class Star is also not encouraging.]
[The progress at the Qi Condensation and Core Formation Realm is rapid, after all, the starting point is low.]
[Those at the Desperate Realm or Heaven-Reaching Realm can progress at a rate that isn't nonexistent, but it's certainly not fast.]
