"Your world is really too dangerous." Tsunade shook his head, his tone full of deep emotion.
"No place in this world is absolutely safe." Ian retorted calmly. "You have already seen the intervention of the Otsutsuki Clan in Fourth Shinobi World War. Without Naruto, Sasuke and Hagoromo, your world would have fallen into Extremis. However, what you don't know is that more than ten years in the future, Shinobi World's peace will be broken again. Otsutsuki Clan makes a comeback, Sasuke dies in battle, Naruto loses Nine-Tails and is sealed, and the whole world has to rely on Naruto's son to save it."
Tsunade fell into silence. She knew very well that Otsutsuki Clan would never give up a planet full of life like Shinobi World easily, because this is an excellent place to plant Divine Tree and condense Chakra Fruit. If Ian had not appeared, the fate of Shinobi World might have been pinned on the accidental birth of some the Chosen One, or it might have led to complete destruction.
"In this vast universe, is being weak also a sin?" Tsunade asked with a long sigh.
"Unfortunately, it is indeed the case." Ian replied. "I have been working hard for a long time today. Let's go and rest. We will return to our homeland in a few days and continue our research on Chakra System."
Tsunade nodded and left, while Ian continued to work. He took some Potions to recover the losses caused by the battle, and began to work with Morgana to analyze the newly understood "Will Entanglement" technology and other data collected during the battle.
The visit of the starry sky powerful clan
The next day, an emergency call came from Golem AD.
"What happened?" Ian asked.
"Three civilizations have sent envoys to visit them. They are waiting in the next room." Golem AD explained. "They are: Sage Clan, Machine Clan and Chakra Clan."
"Interesting name." Ian murmured in a low voice. These forces obviously came from other galaxies and never appeared in the original plot. He ordered Golem to take the envoy to the throne room and read the existing information about these races.
When Ian sat down on the golden throne, three unique individuals appeared in front of him: a huge python, a human-sized robot that looked like a Gundam, and a twelve-tailed giant beast that stood head and shoulders above the sky.
What makes Ian a little surprised is that these three messengers are all strong Seventh Tier.
"Salute to you, His Majesty the Emperor." The giant snake lowered its head, and the other two envoys followed suit, showing extremely high courtesy. This was almost impossible in the past, but since "Arcane Empire" destroyed Otsutsuki Clan with Law of Thunder means, these starry sky overlords had to put away their arrogance and learn the etiquette of the Empire.
Ian observed each messenger. From the giant snake, he sensed a massive amount of Natural Energy.
Sage Clan: Ian thought of Three Great Sacred Lands from Shinobi World. According to his theory, Mount Myōboku's giant toad immortal was not born special. It might have been just an ordinary toad that was sensitive to Natural Energy at first. After accidentally discovering a place full of energy like Mount Myōboku, it completed its evolution by absorbing energy and opened up its spiritual intelligence.
Subsequently, it gathered similar species to form today's holy land. This phenomenon also occurs in other corners of the universe. When these creatures are strong enough, they gather together to form today's Sage Clan.
Machine Clan: Their origins are very cliché: a technological civilization created artificial intelligence, and the AI awakened Self's consciousness, wiped out the Creation master, and established its own civilization.
Chakra Clan: They are essentially the creation of the Otsutsuki Clan, similar to Tailed Beasts of Shinobi World, but became an independent clan because they resisted the enslavement of Ōtsutsuki.
The Emperor's Ultimatum
"I'm glad you can come." Ian took less than a second to analyze the overall situation. "But I don't like to beat around the bush and explain your purpose directly."
The messengers Sage Clan and Chakra Clan frowned. But the messenger Machine Clan, who advocates efficiency, was not disgusted by this.
Although the robot's face has no expression, its jumping data stream shows that it is trying to analyze Ian, but it is blocked by the powerful force field around Ian. It can only vaguely detect that the opponent's body contains a terrifying energy reserve.
"We have two main goals." Machine Clan messenger looked directly at Ian and said. "First, to contact the strong person who can destroy Otsutsuki Clan. Second, to confirm your intentions and attitudes towards other civilizations."
Ian nodded. "Then I will give you a clear answer. Sage Clan and Chakra Clan can be merged into the Empire and become my citizens. You will enjoy the same rights as other races."
"What? Are you serious?" the giant snake exclaimed. Ian ignored it, but turned to look at the Machine Clan messenger.
"Your civilization should have a Source Code code."
Hearing this sentence, if the robot had a heart, it would definitely miss a beat at this moment. That is the highest level secret of the Machine Clan, and it is the source of all artificial intelligence. Controlling it is equivalent to controlling the entire mechanical civilization.
"Hand over the Source Code code and I will spare your immortality."
"This is impossible."
"Then prepare to welcome Annihilation." Ian said in a cold tone. He is highly vigilant against any robot civilization and will never give any opportunity to these aliens with the potential for explosive growth.
He looked at the envoys of the other two races again and continued, "I will give you the coordinates of the main star. You can send ambassadors to see how the empire integrates humans, immortals and even Chakras. You can experience our laws, customs and culture.
If you still refuse to surrender, then prepare for war. But you can rest assured that we are not Otsutsuki Clan. In future wars, we will not kill everyone. All we want is your surrender."
The two envoys suppressed their anger and left. They hated Ian's sense of calmness as if he was in control of everything, as if dealing with their civilization was just a child's game.
Ian watched them leave calmly and whispered to himself, "I have stayed here for too long, and I don't want to waste too much time on you."
He summoned Golem AD and gave the final command:
"Get ready to fight. Tomorrow, conquer Machine Clan and capture a Undying Gods by the way."
