Meanwhile, the old guard, under pressure from the royal family, also began to take action.

They first dispatched several delegations, intending to put pressure on the Star Alliance, using diplomacy as a prelude to force.

Then they organized the Shadow Guards and Diamond-ranked members of various families to go to the Star Alliance border.

Finally, with continuous troop deployments, the handover between Kaiyuan and Xinglian took place.

Aside from the actions of the Shadow Guards and the Diamond-level units, the other troop deployments were almost entirely overt.

Even the Elemental Alliance and the Mechanical Alliance, under Kaiyuan's influence, put pressure on the Star Alliance together.

Kaiyuan's series of actions practically screamed "I'm furious!"

Their series of actions did indeed frighten some people.

Inside the Star Alliance conference room.

All the key figures who could determine the future direction of the Star Alliance gathered together.

They had originally come to celebrate the large number of Star Alliance members who had emerged from the secret realm, but Kaiyuan's series of messages made the atmosphere somewhat oppressive.

"That's outrageous! You sore loser!"

An old man slammed his fist on the table, his eyes wide.

And the expressions of most of the people around them were the same.

It wasn't that they lacked magnanimity; it was simply that the people of Kaiyuan were arrogant and domineering.

Not only did they demand that half of the Star Alliance members who emerged from the secret realm join the royal family, but they also demanded that everyone share in everything they gained within the secret realm! They even sent an envoy to inspect everything belonging to the Star Alliance and to offer condolences to those who came out of the secret realm!

Such a demand really infuriated Starlink.

"I'm not giving it to them! Go ahead and start a war!? Damn it! I'll beat those sons of bitches to death, or I'll make sure they can't even take care of themselves!"

An hot-tempered general immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up!

"No way!!!"

"Star Alliance finally managed to gather so many seeds. If they can grow, then we can take back everything we've lost!!!"

...

The meeting room erupted into a heated argument as the two sides disagreed.

"alright!"

Zhou Gan's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears.

The two sides who were arguing gradually stopped.

When the meeting room fell silent again, Zhou Gan looked at an old man.

"Mr. Sun, what's your opinion?"

"Principal Zhou, I think we should take a step back and hand over one of the alternate dimensions to secure some peace for now. Let those seeds grow before we discuss going to war... After all... what about the myriad races..."

"General Zhang! I know you're furious! But as long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn!... I'm begging you, please give the children some time..."

Old Sun's aged and sorrowful voice revealed his helplessness. His generation had experienced the rise and fall of the Star Alliance, so when he spoke these words, they contained too much helplessness and heartache.

Hearing what Old Sun said, Zhou Gan nodded.

"General Wu, what's your opinion?"

As Zhou Gan asked the question, the general, who had just been shouting for war, stood up. He was about to stand up and express his advocacy for war, but when he saw the dejected look on Old Sun's face, he opened his mouth again and again, and finally angrily punched the table.

He was angry, he was indignant! But even more than that, he felt sorrow!

For soldiers, dying anywhere is not as good as dying on the battlefield!

But for the guardians of the Star Alliance, he simply couldn't drag those people down with him to their deaths.

Yes, it means to die.

As a general on the front lines, he knew all too well that the Star Alliance was already struggling against all races; if they were to fight on two fronts, they would likely face annihilation...

He didn't care, but what about the people... those children...?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ao, who was originally proud and arrogant, slumped into a chair, looking somewhat dejected.

Looking at Zhang Ao's expression, Zhou Gan smiled slightly.

"I'm not dead yet, and the Star Alliance isn't destroyed yet, so stop looking like it's the end of the world."

"Principal Zhou!"

Zhou Gan reached out to stop the general who was about to speak.

“I know what you’re thinking, that you believe that backing down will bring peace.”

"But you must understand, Kaiyuan, we have been fighting with Kaiyuan for a thousand years. In all these years, do you think those people will let us go?"

"Won't."

Zhou Gan coldly exposed this fig leaf.

"This is not a question that can be solved simply by becoming stronger or weaker."

“I believe there are many people who don’t understand why we are being targeted like this, and many have even become accustomed to it and think that it is normal for us to be targeted.”

"Because we are outsiders, and outsiders have formed a force that eats and drinks at other people's expense."

"So we kept making concessions."

"They believed that as long as we became weaker and gave up our vested interests, Kaiyuan would live in peace with us."

But is that really the truth?

"Zhou Gan!!!"

An elderly man who knew some of the truth stood up and looked at Zhou Gan in disbelief!

But Zhou Gan froze the man in place with just one look.

"Please don't interrupt me, Elder Chris?"

Zhou Gan's tone and gaze instantly intimidated everyone in the conference room.

Only then did these people realize that Zhou Gan was not only their leader, but also one of the top three strongest people in the entire Kaiyuan!

Zhou Gan stood up and walked to the window.

“I remember when I took over the position of principal, my mentor told me something.”

"If you're too wicked, they'll destroy you; if you're too weak, they'll trample you!"

"If you are too good or too strong, they won't feel at ease."

"So I concealed my brilliance and focused all my attention on the Star Alliance, wanting it to regain its former glory."

"But I am incompetent; I have already exhausted countless efforts just to maintain the status quo."

"To be honest, I once thought that I might as well just become Kaiyuan's dog - sacrifice us to give future generations a way out."

But they don't want it!

"Our pride is utterly worthless in their eyes!!!"

"Elder Sun is right. Ceding out the other dimension might give us some breathing room, but then what?"

"The problem still lies before us."

Zhou Gan looked at himself in the mirror, at his still hesitant reflection, at his aged appearance...

He looked at it for a long time...

suddenly!

He suddenly turned around!

"If the problem isn't solved, then solve the people who caused the problem!"

For a moment, everyone except Wang Tianfeng frowned.

"Zhou Gan!!!"

"Do you really want to drag the Star Alliance down with you?!"

An old man staggered to his feet, glaring angrily at Zhou Gan.

Zhou Gan was bursting with a powerful aura!

"A single punch can suffice to prevent a hundred more!"

"If the Star Alliance falls, I, Zhou Gan, will be the first to die in battle!"

A breathtaking aura enveloped the entire venue!

Wang Tianfeng looked at Zhou Gan in shock!

Master Level 5!!!

This old silver coin actually broke through the barrier behind his back?!

As Zhou Gan's imposing aura became apparent, everyone froze in place...

"you..."

The old man hadn't even had a chance to say anything.

"I hope everyone will consider my thoughts after watching this video."

Immediately, a video appeared in front of all the Star Alliance's top leaders...

A video revealing the truth about the Kaiyuan world.

...

Meanwhile, on the battlefield of all races.

Sun Liancheng stared coldly at the War Demon in front of him.

"Hey, don't make that face. We're allies from now on! Come on, smile!"

"Why?!"

Sun Liancheng suppressed his anger and looked at the War Demon in front of him.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look, this is where you fall short of Zhou Gan. You always ask 'why' about everything."

"Would you believe me if I told you I was tired of being among the myriad races?"

Looking at Sun Liancheng's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, Zhan Mo chuckled.

"See, you don't believe me either."

"What are you trying to do by lying on the ground?!"

Sun Liancheng couldn't help but ask questions as he looked at Zhan Mo, but when he saw Zhan Mo's mocking expression, he got up angrily and left the tent.

Watching Sun Liancheng's retreating figure, Zhan Mo's smile vanished.

Actually, it wasn't him who proactively sought out Zhou Gan; rather, Zhou Gan approached him and subtly revealed a 'slight' glimpse of his strength...

Sure enough, that old fox guessed that he wasn't on the same side as the myriad races...

Furthermore, Kaiyuan had already contacted all the races and was preparing to join forces to destroy the Star Alliance, which is why he agreed to Zhou Gan's alliance.

Because the Star Alliance dies, he dies.

When the lips are cold, the teeth perish.

He immediately thought of the person who started all of this: Jiang Wang.

"Still young..."

The War Demon sighed softly.

Because if he were Jiang Wang, he would not have killed all the people of the old forces, but would have left some people behind, and these people would not have been used as hostages.

Rather, it was the existence of these people that allowed Kaiyuan to make a decision later.

What Zhan Mo didn't know was that Jiang Wang was only half the instigator; the other half was Ye Chen. Moreover, even if Jiang Wang left these people behind, Solomon still wouldn't let him go.

For him, it didn't matter how many people died or what the cost was, as long as he could eliminate Jiang Wang, this threat with holy light, he was willing to accept it.

In his eyes.

Are artificial humans' lives also lives?

If you don't even value your own son's life, what about other people's?
