"Notify me when the carving is done."
Since we are planning to develop the residents of the Nitin Empire into our believers, we must ensure that it can continue to develop sustainably.
"Don't worry, Master Gao. It's no problem for you to supervise it personally." The king said with a smile.
"There's no need for supervision. I believe you can do it." Gao Han didn't really have any pursuit for the exquisiteness of the statue. As long as it could be seen that it was him, it was enough.
"Then carve one for me too." Zhongli Tingzhou continued unwillingly.
"You're not going to recruit believers, so what do you want the statue for?" Gao Han said helplessly.
Zhongli Tingzhou snorted, "It's better to be prepared, just in case I have that thing in the future."
"So, you want to snatch believers from me?" Gao Han raised his eyebrows.
Zhongli Tingzhou was speechless for a while, then said, "Well, I can go to other star systems to recruit believers."
Gao Han was satisfied. "Be good, take your time. We still have time."
"That night..." Zhongli Tingzhou looked at him with a suggestive look, with lustful aura in his eyes.
Gao Han pretended not to see it.
After a while, Cheng Wen came to them and told them that the giant battleship of the Sirius system had arrived in the Liuhuo system and was now heading towards Galanlan. It was believed that it would arrive in two days.
Whether the Sirius system envoys came with good intentions or bad intentions, the Nitin Empire did not need to worry too much now.
Everyone was doing their normal business as usual, eating, drinking, and working as usual.
Two days later in the afternoon, the sun had already set half below the horizon, and the sky radiated a large red sunset glow, half gray and half red.
A giant warship appeared in the sky above the planet Galan without any disguise, as if declaring its strong sovereignty.
The humans on Galan Planet who saw this scene came out of the buildings and looked up at the battleship, but they soon went back.
After seeing the aliens' space battleship, this battleship, which once represented the highest level of the Xuantu Universe, now seems ordinary.
Ji Sen on the giant battleship proudly enjoyed the horrified expressions of the humans. As the most advanced humans among humans, they naturally felt superior.
However, this enjoyment only lasted for a short while and disappeared immediately.
The star screen showed that humans did not seem to be too shocked by the arrival of the giant battleship. They just took a look from a distance and then looked away as if nothing had happened.
"What's wrong with these humans? They don't seem surprised at all?" Ji Sen frowned.
"It seems to be the case." Lu Ming didn't care much about it. He operated the star screen to analyze the planet Galan and found that Galan had suffered an attack from alien artillery fire, but the damage did not seem to be particularly severe.
"We didn't seem to see many aliens along the way."
"Maybe the aliens are somewhere else now." Ji Sen disagreed.
"Maybe." Lu Ming could only accept this explanation. Otherwise, the possibility of Galan Star surviving the attack of the alien space battleships would be almost zero.
"We should go downstairs now," he reminded again, "go wake that guy up. He has been sleeping for a long time and he still hasn't gotten enough sleep."
"How boring." Ji Sen spat, then went out to call for help.
The royal court already knew in advance the time of arrival of the giant warships from the Sirius system. The entire royal court was silent until their small spaceship came down.
When Lu Ming and Ji Sen got off the spaceship, they saw Minister Cheng standing at the gate of the royal court with an extraordinary temperament. They thought he was the king, and he had the aura of a superior.
"Are you the king of the Nitin Empire?" Ji Sen walked up to Minister Cheng and looked down at him with a playful look and a hint of disdain.
"Your Excellency is joking. I am Cheng Wen, the cabinet minister of the Nitin Empire. The three envoys can just call me Minister Cheng." Cheng Wen said with a smile, without a trace of inappropriate emotion on his face.
Ji Sen's face immediately darkened, "Does your king look down on us?"
"What do you mean, sir? His Majesty will not look down on the three envoys who have come from afar." Cheng Wen still had that smiling and calm look on his face.
Ji Sen snorted coldly: "If your king thinks highly of us, why doesn't he come out to greet us in person?"
Cheng Wen showed a hint of surprise on his face, "Your Excellency, do you mean that His Majesty will also personally come out to greet the envoys from other countries?"
"How dare you! How can our Majesty be compared with your king!" Ji Sen immediately frowned, his expression extremely ugly, "Our Majesty is worth a million gold, and your king is just a monarch who is almost losing his country."
"Please forgive me for not agreeing with you. How did you see that our Nitin Empire was almost destroyed? Did you see it with your own eyes?" The smile on Cheng Wen's face had disappeared.
Ji Sen said arrogantly: "Why do I need to see it with my own eyes? With the technological civilization of the Nitin Empire, how can it survive under the fire of aliens? To be honest, I am a little surprised that you have not been conquered by aliens yet."
"That's really disappointing, Your Excellency. It didn't go as you wished. How about you wait another hundred years, several hundred years, or even a thousand years?" Cheng Wen didn't wait for him to speak, and frowned again, "I almost forgot that you may not live that long."
"You!" Ji Sen laughed in anger, "You are such a sharp-tongued person. I want to see if you can still say such words!"
After he finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from his body, which formed a pressure that enveloped Cheng Wen.
However, this pressure did not go as he wished and was blocked when it reached Cheng Wen.
Li Mingcheng took a step forward, his black eyes flashing with cold light, and a sense of oppression emanated from his body, easily blocking Ji Sen's oppressive attack.
On the surface, it seems that there is no winner, but in reality, Li Mingcheng is still better.
If it were a few days ago, Li Mingcheng might not have been able to withstand the opponent's coercive attack.
Seeing that their pressure was blocked, Ji Sen and the other two noticed Li Mingcheng's existence and were shocked. They actually did not realize at the first time that this man was a cultivator.
In addition to teaching Li Mingcheng how to practice, Gao Han also taught him how to conceal his breath. The method of concealing breath in Lingtian Continent is of course much more advanced than that of Ji Sen and others. Unless one deliberately investigates, it may not be discovered at the first time.
Discovering that this man's momentum was slightly better than Ji Sen's, Lu Ming didn't dare to be careless anymore. It seemed that the Nitin Empire did have some trump cards to survive the aliens' artillery fire.
Lu Ming immediately stepped forward, pulled Ji Sen behind him, and said to Cheng Wen with a smile: "Minister Cheng, my companion has a hot temper. Please forgive me if I have offended you. We came to Liuhuo Galaxy today with a mission given by His Majesty."
"Since you are here with a mission, should the messengers give their names?" Cheng Wen glanced at the three of them calmly.
"Look at my memory. My name is Lu Ming. The one who just spoke to you was Ji Sen, and the other one was Kong Xian." There was no trace of humility on Lu Ming's face.
Cheng Wen looked at the young man named Kong Xian. The young man had droopy eyelids and looked a little listless. He also exuded a lazy aura, but he gave him the most dangerous feeling.
All three of them seemed to be cultivators, and each one had a higher level of cultivation than the other. No wonder they only brought these few people to the Liuhuo Galaxy. It was either because they were overconfident or conceited.
"Please come in, three messengers." Cheng Wen withdrew his gaze.
This scene also fell into the eyes of Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou. Under the coverage of their spiritual sense, what happened at the gate of the royal court was clearly visible.
"All three are immortal cultivators. If the Sirius system is not deliberately trying to intimidate the Nitin Empire, there must be many immortal cultivators like this in the Sirius system. They are so arrogant." Zhongli Tingzhou leaned against the wall, half sitting on the window.
"They do have the capital to be arrogant. There are only a few cultivators in the Liuhuo Galaxy, but they sent out three cultivators at once, and their strength is not weak. They can be compared with the highest cultivators in the Niting Empire."
This is just the tip of the iceberg of the Sirius system.
Zhongli Tingzhou was slightly disdainful, "You dare to be arrogant in front of others without even knowing their strength. You are not necessarily very smart."
"So one plays the bad guy so that the Nitin Empire won't look down on them, and the other plays the good guy. However, the one with the highest cultivation should be the guy at the back who looks like he hasn't woken up yet." Gao Han's eyes fell on Kong Xian, who was walking at the back, and he chuckled softly.
Zhongli Tingzhou glanced at Kong Xian and sneered, "A foundation-building great perfection?"
At this moment, Kong Xian suddenly started to wake up, his mind instantly became clear, and he immediately looked around with a sharp gaze, with a hint of horror in his eyes.
Just now, he suddenly felt a powerful sense of being watched. That power was like the eyes of God, looking down from above with indifference, causing his hair to stand on end.
However, the feeling disappeared in an instant. No matter how he checked, there was no movement, as if the feeling just now was just an illusion.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ming suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Kong Xian. He stopped and looked back at him. This guy was actually awake.
Kong Xian's face looked a little strange. He shook his head, a little confused. Was it really his illusion just now?
Lu Ming saw that he didn't look like nothing happened, but he didn't ask any questions immediately. It wouldn't be too late to ask after the matter was over.
Afterwards, they went to meet the king of the Nitin Empire and discovered the presence of several immortal cultivators in the hall, but their cultivation was not as high as Li Mingcheng's.
Usually, one can get a glimpse of a country's background through the people around its monarch. Especially at this moment, if the Nitin Empire does not want them to look down on it, it must arrange the strongest person in the empire.
Originally they had restrained themselves because of Li Mingcheng's strength, but when they found that the strength of the Nitin Empire was still not as high as they had imagined, Ji Sen once again showed his disdain and contempt on his face.
"The three envoys have come all the way to the Liuhuo Galaxy. We should have entertained them with the best standards. But I'm sorry, Galan Star was attacked by alien spaceships some time ago and is still recovering. Please forgive us for any neglect." The king said politely with a smile.
Lu Ming suddenly became a little suspicious. He wondered if the king had just eavesdropped on what he said outside, otherwise why would he say similar things.
