Inside a grand hall entirely cast in bronze, a calm and indifferent yet subtly cruel female voice rang out.
A beautiful woman, dressed in a majestic black dragon robe, sat calmly at the head of the hall, surveying the assembled officials below.
This is none other than the current king of the Great Xia Dynasty...
Xia Jie.
As for the ministers...
Most of them were burly men wearing bronze armor.
Only a small portion of them were dressed in scholar's attire, but even on those thin robes, faint runes were engraved.
"My king..."
After a brief silence.
A civil official who was at the front stepped forward.
"The reason for the successive destruction of the four tripods has been found."
"With the help of the extraterrestrial visitors, those strange beings outside of the Great Xia have all made great progress."
"This is the will of Heaven, preventing our nine-day ascension plan."
"Your humble servant proposes that we abandon the plan to ascend to heaven in nine days."
The civil official looked around solemnly.
"Through this extraterrestrial descent, we can clearly see that the outer space is not a peaceful place either; the struggles there are even more intense than in our world."
"If that's the case, why are we so insistent on going out?"
"Hmph." Suddenly, a cold shout rang out.
A tall military general twisted his neck.
"you mean...."
"Are our descendants destined to be forever accompanied by the bizarre?"
"You should know that even without extraterrestrial visitors, those strange powers would still increase over time."
"If we don't break the shackles of the world, even if we manage to survive, are you sure your descendants will be able to continue to survive?"
“There will always be a way,” the civil official retorted.
"alright."
Xia Jie interrupted the argument and casually waved his hand.
"Guards, cook these two alive! What I want is an explanation! What nonsense are you spouting?"
Upon hearing this...
The civil and military officials who were arguing instantly turned pale and immediately knelt down.
"No, no, no, Your Majesty, spare my life!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
...
Soon, the noise subsided.
There were only occasional wisps of steam rising from outside the main hall, accompanied by wailing cries.
"Okay, I'll ask one more time, is there anyone who can give me an explanation?"
Seeing that the ministers were all silent and trembling, he retreated into his shell.
A dangerous smile crept across Xia Jie's lips.
If there's no explanation...
Before Xia Jie could finish speaking...
A minister dressed as a civil official immediately knelt down in fear.
"My king, most of the human beings among the extraterrestrial visitors have already been sent to Xiajing."
"These outsiders should know more about the situation."
"Perhaps...we should summon them?"
