"Yes, yes, yes, it was my fault, I was wrong."
Zu immediately admitted his mistake. Facing Yan Xue, Zu's eyes were full of doting affection, as if he were a grandfather and grandson. He no longer resembled the Snow Tribe Chief. If Hu Yu had seen Zu as he used to be, everything before him might have been completely overturned. How terrifying this creature, who once dominated the entire Milky Way and whose word was law, must have been back then.
With a single command, trillions of warships were about to crush everything. The life and death of every civilization and every planet in the galaxy were in his hands. Any disobedience would result in facing the Snow Tribe's massive fleet. But at this moment, this being who ruled the Milky Way became timid and submissive, losing all his former prestige.
"Elder Chief, why did you attack the Andromeda Galaxy back then? If it weren't for you, the Snow Tribe wouldn't have fallen to this state."
"Sigh, do you really think I'm senile, insisting on attacking the Andromeda Galaxy when we're at a disadvantage in terms of combat strength and resources? There are deeper reasons behind it, which you don't understand now, but you will in the future."
"Mr. Zu, what level of technology did you have back then?" Hu Yu asked curiously.
"What level? Who knows? The so-called ' Large Star Region' or 'Galaxy-Level are all later classifications. I can only say that the so-called ' Great Star Region Civilization are nothing but ants in front of the Snow Tribe, and the Galactic-Level Civilization are like sheep facing tigers—utterly vulnerable."
Then Yan Xue and Zu talked for a long time. Zu listened patiently, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking his head. It seemed that Zu was not completely satisfied with the measures taken by the second and third chieftains of the Snow Tribe. However, Zu seemed to be very content that the Snow Tribe had been able to continue. It was clear that Zu was particularly happy today.
Zu has now turned into a large Rabbit because Yan Xue is not used to the original appearance of the Snow Tribe. Hu Yu looked at the two Rabbit and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He never expected that Zu was the first patriarch of the Snow Tribe.
"First Chieftain, I am now the chieftain of the Snow Tribe, but you are the first chieftain. Tell me, what should we do?"
"You're the clan leader, of course you're the clan leader. I can't lead the Snow Tribe in my current state, haha."
"That's more like it. Also, my older brother saved my life. Have you Youwei difficult for him?"
"No, no, I've always been best friends with humans. You can ask General Hu Yu if you don't believe me."
" Yan Xue, the First Clan Chief has indeed helped us many times. Most of the energy we have for building our fleet comes from the First Clan Chief. Without this energy, the First Clan Chief has become much weaker."
That's more like it.
"Mr. Zu, where is your opponent? Isn't he in the Secondary Universe?"
"After your war began, there was no trace of him here. Over the years, I almost got found by him several times. Fortunately, I still have some power in the Secondary Universe, otherwise I might not have seen the future of our Snow Tribe. Haha, my Snow Tribe still has members and a fleet. From now on, the Snow Tribe will surely rise again and dominate the Milky Way!" Zu said loudly with some arrogance.
"Hmph!" A discordant voice rang out.
Hu Yu looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man sitting at the table, drinking wine from a gourd. Hu Yu was immediately annoyed. If Wen Zhonghua were here, he would probably have broken the old man's bones long ago. At this moment, Daozi was no longer a physical entity; it seemed to have a kind of illusory feeling, like a holographic image.
Upon hearing this voice, Zu immediately took a few steps back, looking at the old man with some fear. The old man, however, did not even glance at Zu and continued to pour himself more wine.
" Mr. Daozi," Zu said respectfully to Daozi.
"Big brother, who is this old man?" Yan Xue asked, puzzled as to why her clan leader was so respectful and even somewhat afraid of this old man.
"Boy, don't be so rude to this old man, come here." Daozi stretched out his left hand, and the space surged. Yan Xue was actually grabbed by Daozi's hand. This magical operation opened Hu Yu's eyes. He didn't expect Daozi to have this skill.
Yan Xue struggled for a few moments in Daozi's hands before becoming docile, letting Daozi groom the fur on his head. Although there was some resentment in his eyes, the modified Snow Tribe and the Rabbit were not much different in physique; both were weak and could not escape Daozi's clutches.
" Mr. Daozi."
"Don't worry, I'm not as despicable as you think, harming a junior." After saying that, Daozi released Yan Xue, Yan Xue immediately jumped onto Hu Yu's shoulder and dared not move again.
" Mr. Daozi, what exactly is going on?" Hu Yu asked.
"Young man, the situation is very complicated now. You did the right thing by launching a war against the Fish Horse Star Civilization."
" Mr. Daozi, in order to deal with the Fish Horse Star Civilization, I provided General Hu Yu with energy support, so that he would have enough energy to build a fleet in the Secondary Universe."
"Yes, don't get carried away. Don't think that this little bit of energy can make up for your mistakes."
"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Daozi, I will never dare to do it again. For countless billions of years, I have always been honest and upright, and have never had any improper thoughts."
"No need to say anything more. Don't think I don't know what you're scheming about. However, I'm not someone who can't distinguish right from wrong. Although you've helped humanity many times with some self-interest involved, you've still helped us, and I remember that. Young man, do you think the Fish Horse Star Civilization is confident in wiping us out?"
"Alas, it's difficult. The Super Fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization is impenetrable. We are still trying to find a way to break through Super Fortress. Our attack was a bit rash; we underestimated the strength of the Fish Horse Star Civilization's Super Fortress. We should have been more prepared before launching the attack."
"By the time you're all ready, it'll be too late. When the Super Fortress reaches the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, that will be the day all civilizations in the Milky Way perish. Don't blame me for not warning you; your time is running out."
" Mr. Daozi, what exactly is the purpose of the Fish Horse Star Civilization doing all this?"
"I'll tell you when the war is over. It's no use knowing now. But I can tell you something else: inside the Super Fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization, there is a super black hole."
"What?! A supermassive black hole!"
"What, you don't believe me? Otherwise, how do you think the Super Fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization could have endless energy? It's because they're drawing energy from black holes and using the powerful spatial forces of black holes to stabilize the fortress. That's why your repeated attacks have been fruitless. You can't even understand such a simple principle; you've truly disgraced me."
"I see." Hu Yu was speechless; there was no point in arguing with the old man.
