# Chapter 2066: Starry Sky Negotiation
Di Chou held his ground firmly, preferring to fight to the end with humanity rather than let Jiangnan go to prison, seizing the opportunity to kill him and eliminate the threat once and for all!
Jiangnan, on the other hand, wanted to use this to settle the Thousand Stars Calamity Southern Incident, ease the situation, and give humanity a foothold after joining the sequence to open up their deployment in the starry sky!
So this creates a world where only he gets hurt?
Jiangnan sneered coldly, his gaze flickering!
Ming He Death Prison? Wasn't that place supposed to hold the most heinous criminals?
This could be a point to exploit, perhaps even a springboard for humanity to close the gap with the myriad races!
Di Chou had dug a trap hoping Jiangnan would jump in, but Jiangnan didn't think a mere Ming He Death Prison could hold him—it might even be a development opportunity!
It all depended on whose methods were tougher, who could outplay whom, right?
With that thought, Jiangnan's gaze gradually hardened!
Yang Jian pressed his hand to his forehead—it seemed Jiangnan had already made his decision!
Jiangnan turned back and said: "I can become a Sin-Scriptor and serve my sentence at Ming He Death Prison! I will pay the price for the Thousand Stars Calamity!"
"But how those three hundred years of prison are served is none of your concern!"
Di Chou sneered coldly. What? You still think you can get out? You really don't know what kind of place Ming He Death Prison is, do you?
Once you go in, you want to come out before your sentence is over? Dream on!
Since the establishment of Ming He Death Prison, not a single successful escape case has occurred!
Besides, Jiangnan wouldn't even live to see the end of his sentence!
Overconfidence isn't a good thing, but at least he's taken the bait!
"Good! Then it's settled! As long as you serve your sentence at Ming He Death Prison, the Sacred Law Council will agree to humanity's conditions!"
"Without further delay, pack up and head there now..."
Jiangnan said calmly: (˶‾᷄～‾᷅) "Hold on! What's the rush? It's not over yet! I will go, but not right now!"
Chen Mu glared: "What? You want a three-hundred-year reprieve? Wait until you're about to die of old age before going? What use would that be?"
Jiangnan spread his hands: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "Did I say that? You don't have to be this eager to see me dead, do you?"
"The matter isn't settled yet. At least let me clean up the mess here first, get everything stabilized, and let humanity establish their foothold in Thousand Stars City before I go, right? Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable going to prison!"
"Oh, and by the way—don't think I'll immediately take Blue Star out and put it back in the Milky Way after this. I'm not foolish enough to reveal my weakness so easily!"
"If you go back on your word or don't act according to the agreement, the dimensional war will end immediately!"
Even after joining the Starry Sky Sequence, Jiangnan had no intention of returning Blue Star to the starry sky anytime soon!
What if it got destroyed? Home had to be protected. It would stay in the Lost Kingdom for now, and he would find a way to establish contact!
As for the previously captured Taoyuan Star, it would be placed in the Thousand Stars Domain as humanity's new base for stationing, forming a starry bridge!
Gathering resources, mastering technology, conducting trade—it would serve as a forward base!
This way, they could advance or retreat as needed, attack or defend without any worries about the rear!
Jiangnan wasn't stupid—why would he directly expose Blue Star and reveal his weakness?
As for when Blue Star would return to the starry sky, the right time would come. Until then, the Lost Kingdom would be humanity's headquarters!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the arena once again froze!
Jiangnan spread his hands: "Hey hey hey! What's there to think about? Both sides hold something the other fears!"
"You don't want things to go in a bad direction, and neither do I!"
"The Sacred Law Council follows my requirements and lets humanity join the sequence, and I follow your requirements and go to prison! Isn't this a perfect deal?"
At this moment, the Star Devourers' eyes flickered, and finally, they all nodded!
Black God clenched his fist in celebration: ●و "Nice!"
Jiangnan: (≖_≖)
I'm going to prison, and you're this happy? Do you think I'm going on vacation or something?!
But Zhong Yingxue and Yang Jian couldn't quite bring themselves to smile. The goal was achieved, but Xiao Nan had to go to prison?
As the Era Lord, Jiangnan had already done too much for humanity!
Di Chou took a deep breath: "Fine! I'll give you time to settle. Fifteen days! Once everything is settled, you go to Ming He Death Prison immediately to serve your sentence!"
"Don't even think about backing out! The myriad races of the starry sky are all watching!"
Jiangnan grinned: "Deal! Cheer up, will you? Don't keep such a long face. We'll be seeing each other often from now on as fellow Daoists!"
"Please take care of me, Overlord?"
Di Chou's expression couldn't have been uglier. Smile? How could I smile?!
Turning Thousand Stars City into this mess, killing so many from the myriad races, and still not being able to eliminate humanity!
Getting Jiangnan to go to prison was something he had fought tooth and nail for—just thinking about humanity operating under his nose as a Starry Sky Race in the future made Di Chou furious!
[From Di Chou's Resentment Value +1007!]
[From...]
Jiangnan smiled: "Since things have come to this, can we tear up the Ten Thousand Races Accord?"
This accord, obtained by Jiang Fan over three thousand years ago, had protected humanity while also restricting them!
Now, the Ten Thousand Races Accord would become a thing of the past, and humanity's three-thousand-plus years of humiliating history would also come to an end here!
Di Chou was about to tear it up when Mulk suddenly spoke up!
(〃⊚_⊚)┘ "Hold on! Tearing up the Ten Thousand Races Accord is doable, but humanity must hand over the original program virus they possess!"
"Otherwise, they have the ability to create large-scale chaos at any moment, which is essentially a ticking time bomb, detrimental to the peaceful development of the starry sky!"
"Silicon-based technology is everywhere under the stars. Humanity's mastery of such ability is far too dangerous. It should be eliminated, or else..."
Jiangnan looked stunned: (•︠ˍ•︡) "What program virus? When did I ever say I had a program virus?"
"Your Silicon-based technology is so powerful. Compared to you, humanity's technology is practically in the Stone Age! How could I possibly have a virus that makes Silicon-based programs go haywire?"
"Come on! Stop acting at this point! Just admit it!"
Mulk pressed on anxiously: "Jiangnan! Don't deny it! You do have it, I..."
Di Chou narrowed his eyes. Just mentioning this made him angry!
"Mulk! We haven't settled the account for the Silicon-based Divine Machine Legion aiding the villain in dismantling Thousand Stars City!"
Before this, Silicon-based had ruthlessly fleeced them, and Di Chou had it all memorized!
Mulk defended: "That was a program malfunction, not Silicon-based's intention! It was..."
Di Chou replied coldly: "Oh? It's that easy for your program to malfunction? Then can Silicon-based public officials in the Sacred Law Council and Decree Troops also be prone to program malfunctions?"
"Is there a chance of misjudgment occurring? If so, shouldn't we consider reducing personnel allocation?"
Noah said lightly: (￢_￢) "Even if it really was a program malfunction, isn't that still Silicon-based's own failure in security measures?"
"Setting aside the facts, doesn't Silicon-based bear any fault? You've said it yourself—Silicon-based technology is spread throughout every corner of the starry sky!"
"If your programs are this prone to malfunction and pose such safety concerns, the impact would be enormous. I think it's necessary to restrict the production and sale of Silicon-based products. Who knows if the products are qualified? Who knows if program malfunctions might occur at some critical moment?"
Other Star Devourers chimed in one after another. Having an opportunity to strike at Silicon-based, they naturally wouldn't let it go!
Silicon-based's technological industry was massive, silently infiltrating every corner of the starry sky, some even touching the lifelines of various races!
No one wanted to see Silicon-based continue growing and strengthening. If they could suppress them, they naturally would!
In reality, whether Silicon-based had actually cooperated with humanity, what their true motives were, or if it was a program malfunction—none of that mattered anymore!
What mattered most was that the myriad races of the starry sky needed a scapegoat!
Humanity couldn't be touched, but Silicon-based had done wrong, so they naturally became the scapegoat!
Mulk's head was practically smoking: "You... you all..."
This loss was really huge!
Jiangnan! I'll ~%?…;#*'☆!
Noah laughed inwardly. So satisfying!
The second-ranked had managed to screw over the first-ranked once, and now he had screwed over both first and second?
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind? The more Noah thought about it, the more he felt his decision had been wise!
Cooperating with humanity had been an exceptionally pleasant experience!
Not only had things been handled clearly, but the blame had also been shifted to Silicon-based, with Dark Cosmos Entity's bit of suspicion swept clean!
Jiangnan's work style—regardless of anything else—was truly efficient!
If you didn't screw him over, he genuinely wouldn't screw you over!
Noah looked at Jiangnan, giving him a "you're impressive" look, of course, a look only Jiangnan could understand!
Meanwhile, Jiangnan was watching the scene with great interest, arms crossed!
Watching Silicon-based being roasted over the fire!
If Silicon-based hadn't betrayed humanity back then, if they had honored their agreement and stood firm to the end, none of this would have happened today!
They had sown the bitter fruit, and they had to swallow it no matter how bitter!
Jiangnan had once said: If you don't betray me, I will never betray you!
But if you betray me, don't blame me for using dirty tricks!
Above the Thousand Stars Domain, the Watcher recording all this closed his Starry Sky History Book, noting it thickly, and suddenly stood up!
The giant Starry Sky Eye above closed, and the two Watchers gave Jiangnan a deep look!
Their figures gradually faded, clearly preparing to leave!
But Jiangnan waved at them!
(ﾟ̫ﾟ)ﾂ "Thanks for coming! Next time there's another spectacle like this, you're welcome to come watch! Eating my melon is free!"
The two Watchers ignored Jiangnan and disappeared!
Olivia covered her face. Your melons might be free, but they cost lives! And they're poisonous too!
Di Chou's face darkened. You want this kind of thing to happen a second time?!
Jiangnan snapped his fingers, and Bart raised his hand. Creating something from nothing, a long table formed of a starry river appeared!
Half in the Dimensional Gap, half in the brilliant starry sky!
Jiangnan pulled out a chair and sat down directly, propping his hands under his chin!
(｡･ˇʃƪˇ･｡) "Now! Let's discuss the terms properly, refine the details, and also talk about how Silicon-based will compensate for their recent fault!"
