King Dylan felt a pang of sorrow.

"Your Excellency Emperor Tianyun, I am foolish and ignorant, unaware of your immense power. I have been very rude just now, and I hope you will forgive me!"

King Dylan was a coward, but he was also a sensible man.

Realizing that his strength was far inferior to Mo Tianyun's, he immediately admitted defeat, which showed he had a good sense of self-awareness.

However, he only transmitted this mental information to Mo Tianyun, which shows that he still wanted to save face in front of his court officials.

Mo Tianyun naturally saw through his little scheme.

Unexpectedly, King Dylan turned out to be a cowardly and vain man who bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Mo Tianyun then said, "Since that's the case, I won't waste any more words with you. My purpose in coming here is to take your entire Dylan Empire!"

Mo Tianyun's words were not just for King Dylan's ears, but were addressed to all the high-ranking officials of the Dylan Empire.

Sure enough, these words struck everyone like a thunderbolt.

"The Heavenly Cloud Emperor...is he here to take over my Dylan Empire?"

"What arrogance! My Dylan Empire has been a galactic-level civilization for hundreds of thousands of years, with extremely advanced technology. His Majesty the King is also very powerful. How dare a mere civilization that was defeated not long ago utter such nonsense!"

"That's right, once His Majesty the King uses his true strength, he will definitely make Emperor Tianyun suffer a terrible fate!"

"Yes, yes, once His Majesty the King makes his move, this time we must annihilate that Tianyun Empire!"

...

King Dylan was truly frightened by what he heard and saw from the ministers below; his face was twitching.

"Useless! Where does your confidence come from? You can't even see the current situation clearly. How did you become a minister of the empire?"

King Dylan was furious, so he raised his hand and clenched it downwards.

The ministers' bodies were quickly crushed into a pile of minced meat, and then the rapidly rising temperature ignited their flesh, which soon burned to ashes and disappeared into the air.

Although he was suppressed in place by Mo Tianyun, he was still able to use his spiritual power to deal with a few ministers who lacked common sense.

"Your Majesty Emperor Tianyun, those few were blind and dared to speak so arrogantly. I have eliminated them all. Please forgive them!"

King Dylan said meekly.

He knew perfectly well what kind of strength the Heavenly Cloud Emperor possessed, so he dared not offend him lightly.

The words had barely left his lips when King Dylan abruptly changed his tone, continuing, "With your strength, taking over my Dylan Empire would be a piece of cake, but..."

He paused, then continued under Mo Tianyun's silent gaze: "But you are unaware that 30,000 years ago, the master of this star cluster, Lord Canglan, descended upon the Dylan Empire and took my Dylan Empire civilization as a subordinate civilization. Since then, every thousand years, my Dylan Empire has had to come to the center of the Canglan Star Cluster to pay tribute!"

"If you still intend to harm my Dylan Empire, you'd better think it over carefully. After all, we can't resist, so it doesn't really matter to us."

Mo Tianyun pondered silently upon hearing these words.

The Azure Cluster encompasses more than 100 nearby galaxies, including the Tianyun Galaxy, the Dylan Galaxy, and the Beili Galaxy.

If I were to completely incorporate the Dylan Empire into the territory of the Tianyun Empire and bring it under its administration, how would the Canglan Star Cluster deal with that?

The Dylan Empire really gave him a tough problem. Seeing someone weaker than himself, he appeared submissive on the surface, but secretly brought out the Azure Mist Domain Lord as his backer. As expected of someone who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, he is truly cunning!

Mo Tianyun thought to himself.

Generally speaking, in the universe, celestial objects that are more advanced than a large galaxy are called galaxy groups, also known as galaxy clusters!

However, the term "galaxy cluster" is more widely used and common.

Some galaxy clusters are very small, encompassing only a dozen to several dozen galaxies, and their territory is not large. These small galaxy clusters are simply called galaxy groups.

Some galaxy clusters are very large, encompassing hundreds or even thousands of galaxies; these are the true galaxy clusters.

Some galaxy clusters have even more expansive territories, encompassing thousands or even tens of thousands of galaxies; these are called large galaxy clusters.

The Azure Galaxy Cluster encompasses more than 100 nearby galaxies, making it a small galaxy cluster.

However, there are still some advanced life forms in the universe, such as star-domain life forms, in the Canglan Star Cluster, but there should not be many, and there may not even be more than three.

Mo Tianyun now believes his strength far surpasses that of ordinary galaxy-level powerhouses.

However, it should not reach the strength of a cosmic powerhouse like a star-domain level life form.

After all, his mental strength is currently only barely at the level of a star-domain level life form.

The Miracle Mech's mech level only reaches the World Destruction level, comparable to the Perfect Star God Combat Mech, but it is still far from being as powerful as the Heavenly King Combat Mech.

Not to mention mech piloting level, life evolution level, martial arts combat skill level...

"I really don't know where you get the courage. You, a mere subordinate civilization, actually regard a star-domain level being like Lord Canglan as your backer?"

Just when King Dylan thought Mo Tianyun would back down, Mo Tianyun's cold remark shattered all his illusions.

"You offer resources to the Canglan Star Cluster once every 1,000 years. I imagine that every time you offer resources, your entire civilization has to take out most of the wealth accumulated over the past 1,000 years, right?"

Mo Tianyun spoke slowly and deliberately.

This remark stirred up memories among the ministers present, especially those who had been granted the title of king.

Because every time the Dylan Empire offered resources to the Canglan Star Cluster, those resources were delivered by several kings in turns.

The one who escorted those resources to the tribute last time was none other than Copper King.

The resources being transported consist of energy crystals equivalent to the total energy of 3 million stars, 10 trillion tons of materials for manufacturing Star God combat mechs, and 100 tons of biological medicinal materials capable of preparing "Blazing Sun" level potions.

In addition, there are some other miscellaneous resources.

All of the above combined would have required the Dylan Empire civilization to develop the entire Dylan star system for over 600 years to barely gather all of them.

In addition to the consumption of resources developed over hundreds of years, and the consumption of the entire civilization itself, all the resources developed by the entire civilization over 1000 years have been exhausted!

In recent millennia, the Dylan Empire civilization has faced even greater difficulties. Due to the Zerg invasion and the tribute to the Canglan Star Cluster for a full 30,000 years, the resources of the entire star system are nearly exhausted. In another three or four hundred years, they will have to pay tribute to resources again, and they are worried about this.

That's why they recently attacked the northern part of the Tianyun Empire, wasn't it for those energy crystals in the ancestral land of alien beasts, which are equivalent to tens of millions of stars?

"What are you, a galaxy-level powerhouse, worth in the eyes of those advanced star-domain-level beings? That so-called Lord Canglan definitely has a large group of galaxy-level powerhouses under his command who are even stronger than you, while in his eyes you are just a beast of burden!"

Mo Tianyun continued to sneer.
