"So, are you still planning to continue serving Lord Canglan like a slave?"

Mo Tianyun stepped forward through the space and arrived in front of King Dylan. Looking into his purple eyes, he questioned him.

"I...I..."

King Dylan looked bitter; he couldn't refute Mo Tianyun's words.

Because this is the truth, this is the real reality of the Dylan Empire today, facing an enormous predicament.

Not to mention him, all the officials in the court understood, but no one dared to speak the truth on ordinary days. Once such words were spoken and spread, they would only be sentenced to death, and there would be no way out.

King Dylan himself knew that he was deceiving himself.

Unexpectedly, Mo Tianyun saw right through it all.

After stammering for a long time, the Dylan Empire finally managed to utter only one sentence: "So, besides offering resources to Lord Canglan, is there any other path our entire civilization can take?"

Indeed, the power of a Star Domain-level life form made it impossible for him to resist, just like now, being suppressed by Mo Tianyun, he was unable to resist.

"Yes, that means you should follow me!"

Mo Tianyun spoke calmly.

"Follow you? What good would it do for our entire civilization? Could we possibly escape the control of the Azure Sky Domain Lord?"

"King Dylan asked."

"Not at the moment."

Mo Tianyun responded.

"When will that be?"

King Dylan pressed for an answer.

His eyes were filled with doubt. Could it be that this Heavenly Cloud Emperor could stand against the Azure Mist Domain Lord?

That can't be right.

The Azure Domain Lord is a star-domain level being who can be considered a powerful figure in the entire universe!

Although the strength of the Heavenly Cloud Emperor before him was unfathomable, he vaguely sensed that the Heavenly Cloud Emperor was definitely not a Star Domain level being.

The vast and boundless aura of the star-domain-level lifeforms was as if the entire galaxy were laid out before them, radiating a power even more immense than the gravity of a black hole.

King Dylan, however, could not sense this from Emperor Tianyun.

"I don't know, but I do know that if you don't submit to me, you won't be able to leave this palace, and your entire civilization will be completely destroyed because of you, disappearing from the annals of the universe!"

Mo Tianyun remained calm and composed, uttering the most terrifying words.

King Dylan fell completely silent.

He looked down at the millions of imperial ministers below, then turned his gaze to the outside of the palace gates, where his people, hundreds of millions of them, resided.

As an emperor who ruled the entire civilization for hundreds of thousands of years, this floating continent, which spans tens of thousands of square light-years, was pieced together from solid planets bit by bit.

Countless people live here, generation after generation, witnessing the labor of countless people, contributing to the entire civilization, and building this floating continent into a magnificent place...

Every inch of land, every river, every mountain range, every peak here...

He had explored everything with his mental power. No one knew this civilization better than him, and no one loved it more deeply than him.

He felt as if he had returned to that scene 30,000 years ago, in the same palace, where the same scene was playing out.

So what was the final result?

He could probably not change the fact that the fate of the entire civilization still rested on his own choices.

but……

He still had no other choice.

Since he was going to die anyway, what other choice did he have?

A bitter smile crept onto King Dylan's face.

Standing 10 meters tall, he slowly crouched down in front of the "dwarf" floating in front of him, then lowered his head and knelt down like the servants who served him in the palace.

"His Majesty!!!"

King Canshan, King Qixuan, King Anying, and King Suzhen, the four kings, all spoke up.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became somber.

King Dylan knelt on the ground, submitting to Emperor Tianyun. This scene filled the hearts of millions of ministers with sorrow, and they all spoke up to stop him.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't kneel! How can our Dylan Empire be defeated so easily? Let's fight them to the death!" An old minister burst into tears and couldn't help but speak up.

“Yes, Your Majesty, even if he is powerful, so what? We cannot submit to him.” Another minister stepped forward.

...

…

At this moment, King Dylan raised his head and looked at his ministers, feeling apologetic. However, the Heavenly Cloud Emperor before him was simply too powerful for these ministers to comprehend!

It wasn't that he didn't want to resist, but he didn't even have the strength to resist!

After all, Mo Tianyun's spiritual power was comparable to the "Limitless" level, which is equivalent to the spiritual power of a star domain-level life form. Naturally, a star system-level powerhouse could be easily suppressed and unable to resist.

"My ministers, I understand your intentions. But we need to accept reality. I cannot let the entire civilization be destroyed in my hands. My choice concerns the survival of the entire civilization. Now, we need to submit to the powerful Emperor Tianyun and seek a hope for our civilization's survival," King Dylan said slowly.

If he were a star-domain level life form, possessing even greater strength and becoming a cosmic powerhouse, how wonderful that would be!

The entire civilization will surely become more prosperous and flourishing because of him.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." Lacking the strength, one can only endure humiliation and hardship.

A single tear rolled down King Dylan's cheek; it was a tear of humiliation.

"Dylan hereby submits to Emperor Tianyun, and from this day forward he will be utterly loyal and will obey all orders of Emperor Tianyun."

At this moment, the ministers were all extremely saddened, and their hearts were filled with desolation.

They knew they couldn't hold on any longer at this point; it was a reality they had to accept.

In the end, the ministers silently accepted King Dylan's decision and knelt before Emperor Tianyun.
