Inside the meeting room.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at Zhou Gan's meaningful smile.

They now knew that the delegation would likely not be able to reach the Star Alliance...

"Is this... really okay?"

Before Zhou Gan could speak, Wang Tianfeng slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"There's no good or bad about it. If you can come, we naturally welcome you. If you can't come, there's nothing we can do about it."

"I think we should be more concerned about the upcoming war preparedness and supplies issues than about them."

"The weak will always be weak, and the strong will always be strong! Blindly giving in will only embolden the enemy!"

"We do not want war! But we are absolutely not afraid of war!"

The people around looked at Wang Tianfeng, then at Zhou Gan; they already knew... war was probably inevitable...

Zhou Gan didn't say anything when he saw everyone's reaction. He had indeed discussed the plan with Wang Tianfeng.

It could even be said that the current situation was entirely caused by Zhou Gan.

Whether it's revealing the truth to the higher-ups or annihilating the mission within Kaiyuan territory.

He orchestrated it all.

This undoubtedly forces everyone in the Star Alliance down the path of war.

But that's exactly the effect he wanted.

Based on his speculation and the information exchanged with Zhanmo, Kaiyuan is serious this time, otherwise he will have to maintain the same yielding attitude as before.

This would be catastrophic for the already vulnerable Star Alliance.

The Star Alliance not only wants to fight this battle, but also needs to be prepared to fight it.

In a battle like this, his decisions alone are insufficient. Only by having everyone abandon everything and cooperate fully can the Star Alliance possibly withstand the attacks of Kaiyuan and the myriad races for as long as possible. Only time can give them a greater chance of survival...

But at this critical moment, these high-ranking members of the Star Alliance wavered, fearing war and the destruction of the Star Alliance in their hands.

Therefore, Zhou Gan had no choice but to push them.

He wants to tie everyone to the chariot!

He knew, of course, that now was not the best time to start a war.

Because matter...

Because of the general...

More importantly, none of their seeds grew.

These people with the potential to revolutionize the future are all still in their infancy.

But there's nothing we can do.

That's how war is.

The enemy won't wait for you to be ready before attacking you.

Retreat only leads to destruction.

Only through blood and fire can a new path be forged.

Thinking of this, Zhou Gan's gaze turned cold, and his powerful aura filled the entire conference room.

"I only have one idea."

"Abandon all illusions and prepare for battle! Everyone and every department of the Star Alliance! Enter combat readiness!"

"Retreat! You'll surely die!"

"Fight to the death! There is still a way to survive!"

"I hope everyone can work together to overcome this difficulty!"

Seeing Zhou Gan's resolute attitude, everyone understood that they had no other way to go.

Zhang Ao gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Damn it! Now that things have come to this, we'll fight however you decide!"

Although he no longer possessed his previous unyielding pride, he now resembled a ferocious tiger in a frenzy...

As Zhang Ao stood up, other departments also expressed their opinions!

After the last person finished speaking, Zhou Gan slowly nodded.

"Alright, everyone go back and get ready."

As the conference room doors slowly opened, these Star Alliance executives, each with a different expression, slowly left.

After everyone left, Wang Tianfeng sat down in a chair, looking somewhat tired.

"Wow, this is really tiring. I wonder how many of these people can actually cooperate."

"Heh, tired? This is nothing. It doesn't matter how many of these people can cooperate. Just convey the message. If they don't cooperate, just replace them. After all, some of these people are not suitable for use in wartime."

Zhou Gan looked through the glass at the departing executives below the building and said expressionlessly.

"Didn't you say there was a mole from Kaiyuan in the upper echelons? Then why did you release the video directly? Did you find him?"

Wang Tianfeng looked at what was happening in front of him and turned around to ask.

"Found him, but there's no need to touch him. Let's keep him as a mouthpiece."

"By the way, how is Aunt Xue?"

Zhou Gan suddenly had an idea, then turned to Wang Tianfeng and asked.

"It's alright. The alternate dimension is almost fully charged. I'll have some of the old guys give it a try later. Aunt Xue is about to break through to the Diamond level, it's a sure thing, but..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Gan frowned...

"What's wrong?"

"See for yourself."

Wang Tianfeng threw his terminal in front of Zhou Gan.

[Wang Tianfeng! Where did you put my Jiang Wang?! He's mine!!!]

[Wang Tianfeng! Tell Zhou Gan! He's got the guts to poach people behind my back! He's got the guts to keep his phone on!!! Make him turn it on!!!]

[Zhou Gan! I have never seen such a shameless person!!!]

......

Zhou Gan read Lin Qingya's message expressionlessly, then tossed the terminal back.

Wang Tianfeng, holding the terminal, looked at Zhou Gan with a mocking expression and said in a cheeky tone.

"Hmm? She ran off with that guy, and he's already come knocking on our door. What are you going to do about it?"

"Heh, you don't need to worry about it! You can go out now!"

"Hahaha~"

Hearing Zhou Gan's tone, Wang Tianfeng's mood changed as well.

He didn't possess the intelligence and profound thinking of Zhou Gan. He had a very clear understanding of his own position: he was just a common soldier, at most a super common soldier.

He just had to do whatever Zhou Gan told him to do.

As for the claim that the Star Alliance is facing a life-or-death crisis, he doesn't really care, or rather, it wouldn't matter if he did.

What he could think of, Zhou Gan had already thought of long ago.

Zhou Gan had thought of things he couldn't have.

So instead of worrying, he decided to enjoy each day as it comes. Since he figured out Li Xueyi's marriage, he didn't have so many worries anymore.

He's like a carefree, happy old man every day.

Zhou Gan didn't say much about Wang Tianfeng's behavior, because despite Wang Tianfeng's seemingly lazy attitude, he never slacked off in his cultivation.

For someone who has already overcome that hurdle, sometimes a breakthrough comes from the right timing, location, and people.

If Wang Tianfeng happens to be in a good mood one day and suddenly breaks through to the Master level, then he'll have made a killing.

And in the secret room at the bottom of the main building.

Aunt Li Xue is cultivating, while Jiang Wang is researching all sorts of new troop types.

Although he was unaware that the Kaiyuan royal family had assembled a formidable force to eliminate him, he still chose to cautiously remain where he was. As for Lin Qingya...

Who is this? I don't really recognize him.

It wasn't that Jiang Wang was discarding Lin Qingya after using him or abandoning him after he had served his purpose; rather, after learning about the entire history of the Kaiyuan world, he knew that Lin Qingya was ultimately not a pure alien.

Their journeys may be on the same route, but their destinations are likely to be different.

Lin Qingya at most changed something, while Jiang Wang was preparing to change the entire royal family...

Moreover, Lin Qingya may have helped him for some purpose before, but he knew that things might not be the same in the future.

Because he was destined to stand on the opposite side of Kaiyuan, especially after offending Solomon...

But Lin Qingya might not be...

Rather than waiting until things fall apart later, it's better to cut ties now and be done with it.

Of course, he still wanted to repay those who had shown him kindness in the early days, but returning to Black Snake at this point was unlikely.
