Those Who Wouldn't Listen to Reason
Former Machine Puppet Divine Court Territory, now the outer Borderlands of Eden's territory.
Countless large Ships are traveling back and forth on the Void River, following the Civilization Coordinate Map left behind by the Previous Generation of Machine God, heading one by one to the Kinfolk once ruled by the Machine God, and relocating these civilizations to the safe depths of Eden.
The territory left behind by the Machine Puppet Divine Court is vast. Even after such a long period of development and with countless aids from the Immortal Realm, the Eden Regime still cannot control some remote worlds.
When the Machine God fell, all Eden could do for these worlds he couldn't control was to fly his Spaceship to each of them and announce that they were now under the jurisdiction of Eden Regime.
However, due to insufficient strength, Eden had no control over these remote worlds. Some worlds didn't even have a department of Eden. Because of their remoteness, the degree of brainwashing and control that the Machine God exerted over these worlds was not as severe as that of the worlds in the central region. So now, hundreds of years later, many Outer Domain worlds have developed into independent regimes by taking advantage of the infrastructure and legacy left by the Newborn Machine God.
Some of them completely ignored the decrees issued by the Eden Regime, while others even declared independence directly, utterly disregarding the Eden Regime.
The Eden Regime is powerless to deal with these worlds, so when they heard the warning sent by the Eden Regime, many worlds thought it was a scheme to lure them to the central region so that the Eden Regime could control them.
Therefore, the races within these worlds all opposed the transport ships sent by Eden World to relocate them. Some took extreme measures, even seizing the transport ships directly, and some even shot them down and imprisoned the personnel sent by Eden.
In the end, the Collective Consciousness of the Rainbow Sheath Clan had to pilot the "Glory" Emperor-level Machine Puppet to the vicinity of the Outer Domain to take charge, which stabilized the situation somewhat. No one dared to tamper with the transport ships of the Eden World anymore, but there were still many worlds unwilling to leave.
"If they won't leave, then so be it."
During the communication, the Immortal Realm Immortal Emperor Le Zhentian of the Immortal Realm said to him, "Let them stay here and enjoy the sweet air of freedom."
"Your Le Zhentian."
The Rainbow Sheath Clan's Collective Consciousness manifested in their External Souls, and they frowned, saying, "No matter what, these people are still our Subjects."
"But they don't consider themselves your Subjects."
Le Zhentian said, "I'm giving you this advice out of kindness. Do what you should do, and you've done everything you could. If they still don't leave after that, then let them go."
"..."
The Collective Consciousness of the Rainbow Sheath Clan retorted, "Does Your Majesty mean I should abandon my Subjects? If His Majesty Le Zhentian were in such a situation, would he do that?"
"Of course not. If I encountered a situation like yours, I would have my Immortals drag those disobedient worlds directly to the central region."
Le Zhentian's laughter was full of sarcasm.
"However, the Eden Regime doesn't have that kind of power right now, does it? There are priorities. Compared to these disobedient fellows, you should prioritize protecting your true Subjects... But then again, if you had the power to do that, these regions wouldn't have become independent one or two by now, ending up like this."
While talking with Le Zhentian, the Collective Consciousness of the Rainbow Sheath Clan was also holding a continuous Consciousness meeting. After countless rounds of discussion, it let out a long sigh.
"The truth is harsh, and though I hate to admit it, Your Majesty, what you say is indeed the best method. Eden will do everything in its power."
After this communication ended, the Collective Consciousness of the Rainbow Sheath Clan once again directed the transport ships under Eden's command to travel to countless worlds in the Outer Domain to notify and persuade them.
Seeing the solemnity and sincerity of the Eden Regime's arrival, some civilizations, after discussion and voting, chose to migrate with these transport ships, while others rejected the request but separated some individuals to leave with the transport ships.
Of course, the vast Void is full of wonders, and there are indeed races that are truly stubborn and have problems with their minds. Several worlds in the borderlands have firmly rejected Eden's request, and some races have even beaten up the people Eden sent.
In the end, these races stubbornly remained in their original world. Eden had no choice but to take the races that were willing to follow them back to the central region and settle them in the Habitable Worlds that had been prepared in advance.
Several months passed quietly, and unbeknownst to everyone, a black catastrophe slowly spread from the lower reaches of the Void River.
In the Eden Border World No. 3, within the territory of the Curved Horn Clan.
The Curved Horn Clan was one of the most resolute tribes in this migration. These people had red skin, were naturally strong and muscular, and had a very warlike and impulsive nature. Both men and women of this tribe had a pair of large, curved horns on their heads, hence their name.
Previously, their remote world had been thrashed by the Machine God's Machine Puppet army. Therefore, following the principle that the strong are fathers, they accepted the Machine God's teachings and abandoned living in the dangerous wilderness. Instead, the entire tribe moved into the Mechanical City built by the Machine God. However, the Curved Horn Clan has an extremely long lifespan. Before their previous generation of elders had all died, the Machine God was killed by Bai Qiuran's Thought Poison, reborn in a different form, and relinquished control of this world.
At that time, Eden was powerless to govern such a distant place. Therefore, in order to survive, the elders of the Curved Horn Clan dug out the weapons left behind by the Machine God and used the traditional training methods of the Curved Horn Clan to conduct devilish training on the younger generation. After many people died, they successfully selected a new generation of Warriors for the Curved Horn Clan. These Curved Horn Clan revived as a warlike civilization.
This time, their combat capabilities have become even stronger. Previously, these guys charged forward with melee weapons such as battle axes and warhammers, but now, they have been equipped with Runes Battleblade and Runes Cannon from the Machine Puppet. Their fighting style has become more ferocious, and their destructive power has increased several times over.
During this process of the Eden Regime persuading the various border worlds to migrate, the Curved Horn Clan people also gave the most intense response. They pinned two innocent Eden transport ship guards to the ground and beat them up, and then kicked the messengers sent by Eden to persuade them back into the transport ship's cockpit by kicking their buttocks.
For months after Eden Regime left, the world was at peace, and the Curved Horn Clan people relaxed completely, believing that it was indeed a conspiracy by Eden Regime to deceive them.
