Chapter 213
Blue Star, Blue Star Council.
This political center of the two major new human civilizations, the Qilin Empire and the Pan-Stellar Federation, on Blue Star is more than 40 meters high and has a construction area of more than 1,000 square meters. It is located in the reception hall of the highest level in the building structure. At this time, it is welcoming a negotiation that is extremely important to the Star Alliance.
Unlike the virtual images used in negotiations on the Star Network, the two cosmic civilizations that now arrived here with warships arrived in real person.
It can be said to be a coincidence, but in fact it is not a coincidence that there are two "acquaintances" of Ye Bai in the negotiation group between Ruilan Empire and Kain Federation. They are Zeta and Ximo, the lords of Ruilan City and Luofei City, who are now ranked second in the ranking of Lords of All Worlds.
The fact that the two of them were able to become the overlords of their respective civilizations in the Ten Thousand Worlds territory made them important figures in the civilizations themselves. As the exploration of the Ten Thousand Worlds progressed, their status would rise even higher.
Zeta is now the first heir to the Ruilan Empire. She has the unique blue skin of the Ruilan people and is more than two meters tall. In comparison, Ximo, who is sitting next to her, is much larger. He is the second-ranked senator in the Kain Federation, more than five meters tall, with strange golden lines on his skin. His race is called the Golden-Patterned Giants.
The original genetic templates of these two civilizations are the original genes of Blue Star combined with mind links and giant populations. The former was intentionally guided into swarms and Gestalt regimes, while the latter was guided towards independence and differentiation. It is worth mentioning that the emergence of giant civilizations has obvious traces of pursuing the "Titan Giants" in the legend of Blue Star.
Even the Qilong Empire officials who had bought the Antarctic property rights at that time came to a corner here to wait, in case Ye Bai remembered the Antarctic property rights and asked a question or two. Compared with the Qilong Empire officials who were nervous and sweating, the Pan-Star Federation officials who failed in the auction were a little more relaxed at this time.
In addition, all the important figures from the major civilizations, unless they are in a critical position in the Ten Thousand Worlds, have gone offline after receiving the news, and have either arrived at Blue Star or are on their way to Blue Star.
Although in this situation, communication via the Star Network is the most comprehensive and convenient, the negotiators did not dare to raise this issue with Ye Bai and his group.
There is no way. Facing a lineup that just dealt with millions of A-level strongmen as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, no matter how cautious and accommodating you are, it will not be too much.
Whether in the game or in reality, this was the first time that Zeta and Luo Fei met Ye Bai face to face. At this time, they also sat at the negotiating table with serious expressions.
Once upon a time, when the two learned from the report provided by the Fantasy Sea Civilization that Bai Ye's identity was most likely an ancient human who cracked the code by chance, they felt angry and contemptuous for being fooled.
But at this moment, facing the unprecedented Beyond Grade A in this universe, and there is more than one, all civilizations have taken the most cautious attitude.
When many A-level people from the Church of the Stars appeared, it can be said that a huge shock occurred in the entire Star Alliance. As a super-large force that basically united all the earth-level civilizations in the universe except the Chaos Star Sea, the Star Alliance did not lack six million A-level powerhouses.
However, the Star Alliance is a loose alliance of civilization conventions, with various factions, disagreements, and even contradictions within it. Unless the moment threatens the survival of all intelligent creatures, it will never be able to unite so many A-level powerhouses to participate in the war.
However, in the chaotic starry sea, when the Star Alliance was completely unaware, there existed such a terrifying force with so many top powerhouses.
In comparison, Ye Bai's inexplicable appearance in the Blue Star wormhole and his being judged to have reached the Beyond Grade A level would not have caused such a big shock - after all, the universe has never produced a Beyond Grade A, and before they show their combat record, various civilizations cannot judge their specific strength, and there is also an inherent concept that "no matter how strong she is, she is only one person".
However, what the Star Alliance didn't expect was that even as their main force was on its way, the Church of the Stars, which had driven them so anxiously here, had already been completely eliminated...
Of course, the cosmic civilizations who did not know that this universe had a 'mental power limit' could not have imagined that the power gap between A-level and Beyond A-level would be so huge.
All strategic deployments were canceled, and negotiators and think tanks immediately entered a state of emergency. The six individuals across the negotiation table now had the power to overthrow any civilization in the Star Alliance. In terms of individual strength and mobility, the Star Alliance now had no effective deterrent against them.
Correspondingly, on the other side of the negotiation table——
The manager of the reception hall transferred his spiritual energy to the protagonists in the room and politely asked, "Does any one of you need anything else?"
The ancient dragon known to almost the entire Star Alliance had shrunk in size, becoming a two to three meter long 'mini dragon', and was currently savoring the butter bread prepared by the chef of the Council's reception department.
Even though the dietary preferences and structure of the new humans have changed ten thousand years later, as the Blue Star Council, the food served to VIPs in the reception hall here will still be developed with "planetary characteristics". This planetary characteristic is naturally to restore the diet of the Blue Star in the past.
In addition to the emergence of the Ten Thousand Worlds, the various foods in them have long been reproduced and developed into reality by the ancient civilization in the interstellar space, which has an extremely keen sense of taste.
So after noticing that the dragon seemed to particularly like bread, the kitchen immediately adjusted its hospitality strategy for Ottophis.
The dragon was tasting the food of the material universe with curiosity, feeling the subtle difference from the game. After receiving a satisfactory reply, the manager looked to the side. Even after Bai Ye agreed to the request for dialogue with the Star Alliance and had digested it for a while, he still felt a strong sense of unreality.
"I don't need it." The Elf Queen, who seemed to be shrouded in soft light, tasted only a little juice. In front of her was a pot of green bamboo that was cultivated in the reception hall for decoration.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
This plant, which was once a characteristic plant of Blue Planet and was restored by technology, suddenly came alive like an animal when facing Inollucia, waving its leaves and communicating with her in some mysterious way that the interstellar people could not understand.
The manager's eyes continued to turn, and then his expression suddenly changed. He had to speak nervously to remind him, "Um, I'm so sorry, that's a meeting recorder, not something you can eat!"
"Oh..." Upon hearing this, the red-haired little girl withdrew her tentacles that had already stretched out to a spherical conference recorder with some regret. When the red tentacles were retracted, they merged into a snow-white palm of a normal child.
These palms fell on Walsh, the Infernal God, who was expressing his displeasure all over his body, and reduced the scorching aura around him a lot.
The manager's eyes twitched as he watched this scene, but he did his best to suppress his expression. After sending another urging message to the kitchen, which was already working at full capacity, he smiled warmly and said, "Sorry, please wait two more minutes."
He was also in tears. The dragon ate a lot of food, but at least it had a tasting process and preferences. But this little girl who had once turned into a giant octopus and eaten a large number of A-level psychics was much more terrifying. No matter what she saw, she wanted to eat it. She had even swallowed the plate together.
The only advantage was her presence. The terrifying Infernal Devil seemed to be restricted in some way. Even though his expression was extremely ugly, others could sense the energy surging from him that was no less than that of a star from a distance, but he did not cause any damage to the surrounding environment.
"You can give her prepared food and nutrient solution. She's not picky." At this time, a spiritual force from the center of the negotiation table said.
The manager's hair stood on end, and his attitude became extremely serious: "Yes!"
After making sure that the hungry Kraken wouldn't be too conspicuous, Ye Bai continued to exchange information with the Covenant at the negotiation table.
After Ye Bai asked the Star Alliance for the Blue Planet, with the power of "clearing millions of A-level psychics", "bringing NPCs from all realms to reality", "super A-level", and "elusive foundation", the Star Alliance would be crazy to dare to refuse her request.
However, the delivery of an entire planet, which is next to the second wormhole in the Milky Way, is surrounded by space stations, permanent armed forces of the Star Alliance, offices, assets, and passengers of various civilizations. There is a lot of information that needs to be confirmed one by one with Ye Bai.
Putting aside the economic dispute, Ye Bai proposed to take Blue Star. Specifically, did he want Blue Star itself, or did he want the space beyond the planet? What was the exact size? Whether the civilization of the Star Alliance could still use the wormhole near Blue Star for transportation in the future? What was the private territory of Blue Star that could not be approached? All these needed to be made clear.
Regarding these details, the Star Alliance dispatched a large number of negotiators, who were quite sincere and expressed their feelings and cited classics in order to gain more rights and interests from Ye Bai.
The prestige that the Star Alliance had established since its establishment a million years ago has now disappeared in front of Ye Bai. However, in this process, it will take some time for the various civilizations within this huge and complex alliance to complete the various digestion and compromises.
The result was that each civilization under the Star Alliance came up with various complicated clauses and rules, trying their best to fight for the rights and interests of their own civilization without offending Ye Bai.
Even if all the specific clauses were first passed to Nao, who refined and simplified them before handing them over to Ye Bai, there were still too many things to confirm after the simplification because there were billions of civilizations, which was a huge number.
As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. Moreover, after knowing the nature of the world, Ye Bai saw that the civilized groups of Epoch 01 were also important factors in breaking the blockade of silicon-based civilization.
In the future, the more and deeper the interactions between interstellar players and the myriad worlds, not only will the players be able to improve, but Ye Bai will also be able to lead more NPCs in the game to achieve super-dimensionality. The loyal support of the Divine Realm and White Night City is the foundation of her power.
Therefore, it would be difficult for Ye Bai to overturn the table and reject the Star Alliance's negotiation at this time. In addition, this is also a window for the Five Kings to adapt to and understand the real universe.
Unfortunately, apart from Inollucia who communicates with the world through plants, Ottophis, Kraken, and Walsh all serve as a model and deterrent. Only Nao is as reliable as ever. Looking at him a few more times can make Ye Bai, who is obsessed with looks and white hair, feel happy from the bottom of his heart.
The Star Alliance negotiators on the opposite side were also extremely cautious about Nao, a Transcendent A-level powerhouse they had never seen before. Compared to the other Transcendent A-level powerhouses that Ye Bai had "summoned" from the Myriad Realms, this one was obviously a think tank-type talent around Bai Ye and was deeply trusted.
Even the team behind them who were constantly analyzing information had roughly analyzed the information about the Divine Realm they had learned during the Divine Realm Summoning period and concluded that Nao in front of them might be the mysterious Void King in the Divine Realm. After all, Beyond Grade A corresponds to two ranks above the third level in the Myriad Realms. Combined with the already known identities of the Elf Queen, the Infernal Devil, and the Ancient Dragon, the identities of the other two powerful beings of the same level were not difficult to guess.
So the question is, what is the true identity of Ye Bai, who can command five god-level powerful people in the game and bring them into reality?
All the analyzed intelligence and speculations were passed to the Star Alliance negotiating representatives at the front. Ye Bai's identity was like an onion, with each layer peeled off made them more nervous and cautious.
Now no one agrees with the previous conclusion that Ye Bai was just a lucky ancient human.
Feeling Ye Bai's gaze on him, Nao reflexively stopped negotiating with the Star Alliance and approached her sideways: "King, do you have any instructions?"
At the same time, he used a hidden spiritual force to add to Ye Bai's words: "I already understand the composition of this force and the conflicts between most civilizations. Do we need to split them up first and then swallow them up?"
Ye Bai: “…” There’s no need to be so reliable.
The Star Alliance representatives over there became nervous when they saw Ye Bai suddenly stop communicating. The Star Alliance now not only wanted to stabilize Ye Bai, but also wanted to know more about the specific situation and secrets of the Church of the Stars from her, just like they wanted to get more strategies from her in the beginning, and how she brought the NPCs of All Worlds to reality, whether other players could follow suit, etc.
It even caused the spacecraft that Aurora was riding from the Fantasy Sea Galaxy to the Blue Star to receive full speed instructions again.
A large amount of communication information was transmitted to Ye Bai: "You can raise any request during the negotiation." "Sir Bai Ye, please understand our difficulties. The Blue Star wormhole is the second hub of the Milky Way." "The basis of the agreement must be the inviolability of your sovereignty on Blue Star."
Ye Bai couldn't help but rub his solar plexus, feeling a little impatient. The Star Alliance certainly had its reasons for doing this, and its attitude was very good, but this was the Star Alliance's problem, not hers. Instead of wasting time on this matter, it would be better for everyone to go online to the Ten Thousand Worlds earlier.
Thinking of this, Ye Bai paused, and she remembered a "practical function" that she almost overlooked.
Then, the Star Alliance representatives saw Ye Bai close his eyes and ponder for a moment, then suddenly smile at them after opening his eyes. This smile was filled with an inexplicable evil spirit:
"That's okay, we should have plenty of 'time' next."
What's the meaning?
The negotiating delegations felt something was wrong, but they didn't understand the situation at first.
Then within seconds, their communication exploded.
"It turns out that only the top 100 players who cleared the dungeon can enter the Void Corridor... Luckily, I'm number 97 this time."
When the Void Corridor descended, the automatic celebration in White Night City had not even ended, and the top third-level players, who were full of curiosity about the divine world, could not wait to embark on a new journey.
With the mechanism of the ladder dungeon, only the top 100 players in each server can enter the divine realm through the void corridor. However, because the universe is so vast, a civilized planet is a server, resulting in a considerable number of players entering the divine realm in the first batch.
In reality, although the Star Alliance suffered a major earthquake due to the problems on Blue Planet, the major civilizations that have already realized the importance of the Ten Thousand Worlds still have many high-level players who continue to be active in the game because it is inconvenient to log off.
This group of high-level players are basically in the middle of important missions, void capture, and divine realm exploration. They cannot get away in a short period of time, or their real-life professions are functionally replaceable.
Players who enter the divine realm through the Well of Origin in the Void Corridor also have Origin Drops, but the energy of the Origin Drops is limited and will expire when the Void Corridor opens next time.
By the same token, if players die in the Divine Realm, they will return to the Myriad Realms when they are resurrected, and the bound traceability water droplets will disappear. They will need to wait until the next time to pass through the Void Corridor to reach the Divine Realm.
Of course, these are just tests for the players. As an advanced map, the Divine Realm has more opportunities than the Myriad Realms. In addition, there was a one-month Divine Realm summoning, so the players already have some understanding of the Divine Realm. Some lucky players even found the powerful Divine Realm who had been summoned when they first arrived in the Divine Realm, and gained the first connection of this advanced map.
Traces of players appeared in the divine realm, bringing more vitality and vigor to this still recovering world.
During the exploration, players also discovered a mysterious and magnificent city in the divine realm.
Just by looking at the material of the city from afar, one can feel that it is extraordinary. Naturally, players can't help but want to explore it. However, after trying, they found that no matter what method they used, they could not really get close to the city.
Every time I was clearly heading in the right direction, but when I looked up, I found that the distance to the city never changed.
Later, while communicating with a wandering bard, a player heard a familiar name:
"That mysterious city that cannot be approached is actually called the Eternal City?"
The player was stunned. Eternal City... Isn't this the new title that White Night City has acquired?
At that time, the system sent three consecutive notices to the entire server, and no player online would be unaware of it.
Seeing this, the gray wandering bard smiled mysteriously. "Oh? You know that city too? Then would you like to hear the story of the Eternal King?"
The Eternal King... This title made the player's mind inexplicably emerge with the figure standing on the dragon.
Just as the player nodded and wanted to continue questioning the NPC, the next moment, his vision suddenly went dark.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
At the same time, all the interstellar players active in the Ten Thousand Worlds throughout the universe suddenly opened their eyes. Whether they were in the God Realm or the dungeon, whether they were on a mission or in battle, they all returned to reality from the Ten Thousand Worlds without exception.
All players were forced to disconnect for some reason!
And when they immediately tried to return to the Ten Thousand Worlds, they found that they could no longer enter.
If the emergence of the Church of the Stars shocked the top leaders of various civilizations in the Star Alliance, then this time, the entire universe was shocked.
The Star Alliance representatives at the negotiation table all looked at Ye Bai in disbelief after receiving the news, and finally understood the meaning of her previous smile.
That's right, Ye Bai directly used the administrator's authority to close the login rights of all players. This is for all players, and will actually make her unable to enter the Ten Thousand Worlds anymore - but Ye Bai knows this, and the Star Alliance does not know it.
The civilizations of the Star Alliance were shocked beyond words. Their understanding of Bai Ye was refreshed again, and her importance was once again increased to an unprecedented level.
——If you had this skill, you would have said it earlier!
This alliance, which includes a large number of civilizations in the universe, has truly had its lifeline grasped at this moment. The importance of the Ten Thousand Worlds is self-evident. The number of third-level players in the game now represents the number of B-level psychics in reality. This is an improvement that no civilization can refuse.
At this moment, the disputes over the various clauses on Blue Star are no longer any internal conflicts or disagreements within civilization. All the roundabout clauses and the struggle for civilizational interests have become clouds in the face of greater losses. All handovers are completed at the fastest speed, not for profit, but for efficiency.
Representatives of the Star Alliance civilization, passengers and permanent residents of Blue Star and the main battleships of the Star Alliance left the Milky Way at the same speed as they came, leaving Ye Bai with a Blue Star that had been transformed into a level five habitable environment and had a large amount of infrastructure.
There was no way. They couldn't afford to waste time now. Not to mention the estimated losses caused by players across the universe being unable to go online during this period, the mental damage caused by being forced to leave the battle, and the resources lost due to dungeon exits caused by going offline, the total economic losses of the game caused directly by this sudden "service suspension" alone exceeded one trillion star coins, which was far more than what would be lost if they continued to worry about the Blue Star terms.
"Could it be that she had this backup plan when she first gave us the code to decipher it?"
"But why has it never happened before, but now..."
"So... everything has a price?"
In the discussions and reflections of various civilizations, the final cognition is the most clear and distinct:
The Ten Thousand Worlds is another world with infinite secrets and possibilities, and the key to that world is in Bai Ye's hands.
