# Chapter 2190: All Old Tricks I've Played Out
Youming did keep his word, actually sending Jiangnan half a warehouse of Stygian Crystals!
Now Jiangnan had absolutely no worries about running out of crystals, and he didn't even bother hiding it anymore!
He distributed them to all the members of the Bully Gang like Ta Luo and Sa Mo to use!
Let them improve their mental strength as much as possible, after all, once they got out, these would be his own people!
The stronger their strength, the better!
Ever since Jiangnan entered the prison, Ta Luo and the others had been living more and more comfortably day by day!
It was just that the living conditions were a bit poor—the Ming He Death Prison hadn't fallen apart yet,
but it wasn't far from being scrapped!
In the following days, Jiangnan's daily routine was very regular!
Whenever he had time, he soaked in the Stygian Bath, while improving his physical fitness, he also absorbed large amounts of Stygian Crystals to enhance his mental strength!
Although he couldn't level up here, at least he could raise his physical fitness and mental power!
And Jiangnan also discovered that improving his mental strength increased the capacity limit of his Evil Qi Secret Art's backflow!
With such extravagant consumption of crystals, he had long since surpassed the 43% limit!
Jiangnan was also looking forward to when he could achieve 100% backflow—what kind of effect would that produce?
It wasn't just Jiangnan who was training; all members of the Bully Gang were actively improving themselves, giving off a vibe of everyone preparing for battle!
As for the escape, Jiangnan didn't mention a word about it, leading everyone to train hard in the Ming He Death Prison, living a pretty exciting life!
On the other hand, Chong Feiyu was getting impatient—why hadn't they started acting yet?
Every time she urged Jiangnan, he said the time wasn't right and told her to wait a little longer, which made Chong Feiyu grind her teeth in anger!
Perhaps Jiangnan had truly ignited her desire for freedom; having waited over five thousand years, now every extra day was torture for Chong Feiyu!
It wasn't that Jiangnan was dragging his feet. He had agreed with Jian Ge on a three-month deadline, so he couldn't just run off early.
He needed to give Jian Ge some time to operate and make arrangements. The Dimensional Star Navigation couldn't be fully rolled out so easily.
It took time!
Anyway, he was having a pretty good time in the death prison—plenty of underlings, sufficient resources, eating whatever he wanted!
But since Jian Ge said he could do it within three months, Jiangnan wouldn't stay longer.
Once the three-month period was up, he would lead his brothers and escape!
If Jian Ge still hadn't completed the Star Navigation's launch by the time they got out, well, he could always go back and stay for a while!
Youming would probably be willing to take him back!
Seeing that Jiangnan had no intention of acting, Chong Feiyu thought about the matter of recruiting subordinates.
Da Meng had been recruited, but Yakeli still hadn't joined! So she started urging Jiangnan to go recruit him!
However, Jiangnan didn't seem worried at all and never went to find Yakeli!
Chong Feiyu even suspected that Jiangnan was indulging in a worry-free, comfortable life and starting to slack off!
Since Jiangnan wasn't in a hurry, she wasn't either. If the agreed time came, she could just eat Jiangnan, right?
She wouldn't lose out either!
Youming thought Jiangnan would finally settle down and live a peaceful prison life for a while.
But reality proved Youming was completely overthinking things! The Stygian Koi had become thoroughly addicted, hadn't it?
Every three to five days, it would come without fail, ramming its head into the Stygian Death Star, begging to be fed!
If not fed, it would crash into the star!
This gave Youming a huge headache—talking didn't work, shooing it didn't work, and fighting it was impossible!
Even feeding it massive amounts of Stygian Crystals didn't make it leave; it insisted on drinking Dali!
The Stygian Death Star had been completely wrecked by its ramming—the speed of repairs was far slower than the speed of destruction!
At this rate, what planet could withstand its destruction?
The Ming He Death Prison would eventually be destroyed by this stinky fish!
Every time the Stygian Koi came, Youming had to invite Jiangnan out to feed it Dali, otherwise it simply wouldn't leave!
But the more they fed it, the worse it got, and it had even become a habit!
Jiangnan wasn't acting for free either—exchanging for Dali 2.0 required resentment points! Every time he just managed to save up some, it would be wiped clean, all fed to the fish!
So he naturally squeezed Youming for supplies. What else could Youming do? He could only endure the humiliation and arrange things for Jiangnan!
After all, he didn't have Dali to feed the fish!
For Youming, this nightmare of a life lasted over a month!
The Ming He Death Prison was getting more dilapidated by the day, all because of the Koi's ramming!
He even started looking forward to Jiangnan leaving—wasn't he talking about escaping? Why hadn't he left yet?
If Jiangnan left, the Koi wouldn't bother him, and the Ming He Death Prison could be saved, right?
Every time he thought this, Youming would rub his face—no, no, how could he have such a dangerous thought?
Letting Jiangnan leave would be playing right into his hands!
But if he kept enduring like this, he really didn't know how much longer he could hold on!
...
Time flew by, and now it had been two months and twenty-seven days since Jiangnan entered prison!
At this time, under the cooperation of humans and the Apocalypse Race, the Dimensional Star Navigation had almost completed its coverage across the entire Starry Sky region!
It even included some strategic locations of various races, with only a few major races still stubbornly holding out, refusing to let the Dimensional Star Navigation deeply penetrate their home star domains!
But this didn't matter much. Under the overall trend, those resisting major races wouldn't last long—they would eventually acknowledge and accept the fact that the Dimensional Star Navigation already existed!
The situation had finally opened up, and humans had firmly established themselves in the Starry Sky through the Dimensional Star Navigation!
Of course, the complexity and difficulty of the process could not be fully explained to outsiders; even talking for three days and three nights wouldn't be enough!
Yang Jian threw money around wildly, used threats and intimidation, employed every trick, made concessions to pave the way—too much to count, and even clashed several times, ultimately fulfilling his promise to Jiangnan!
He also made the Apocalypse Race witness Yang Jian's skills and humanity's methods!
He even finished three days ahead of schedule!
Early that morning, Yang Jian received a message from the Sacred Law Council saying they were holding a meeting regarding trade development in the Starry Sky for joint discussion!
Yang Jian sneered—the moment the Sacred Law Council lifted their butt, he knew what kind of fart they were about to release!
It was nothing more than a meeting to boycott the Dimensional Star Navigation!
Nothing to fear—the rice was already cooked!
The Dimensional Star Navigation already existed; some people would have to accept it whether they wanted to or not!
Yang Jian naturally attended the meeting on time!
In the Third Conference Room of the Sacred Law Star Palace!
Representatives of all races stationed at the Sacred Law Star Palace were present in full!
The top ten sequences sat in the main seats, while the others present were at most planet-destroying Star Breakers or Half-Step Star Devourers!
As for the Silicon Race, Miao Ke attended, directly raising the level of the meeting!
Humans were seated at the very end—what could they do? After all, humans were ranked last in the sequence!
But by now, no one should think this last place was undeserved, since humans already held a certain amount of speaking power!
Holding the Star Path meant holding the speaking power!
Tiffany of the First Light under the Bose Race immediately spoke up:
"Surely you all know why we called everyone here for this meeting! The human Dimensional Star Navigation going online has thrown the Starry Sky transportation and passenger industries into chaos!"
"Chaos is frequent, and some have even reported that their starships were attacked by dimension creatures while in the dimensional wind tunnels!"
"In the end! Can the human Dimensional Star Navigation guarantee safety? The Star Path is the bridge connecting every isolated island of starlight, the foundation of the civilization of all races in the Starry Sky!"
"Humanity's actions, using the Star Path to massively profit their race, are shameful. If not controlled, the civilization of the Starry Sky might suffer disaster! After all, a skyscraper with an unstable foundation—the higher it's built, the harder it falls. Haven't we learned enough lessons yet?"
"Regarding this! Does the human race representative have anything to say?"
Yang Jian sneered: "Hah, you're quite direct! Dimension creatures attacking passengers in the dimensional wind tunnels?"
"What? Just relying on your mouths? Where's the evidence?"
Miao Ke's expression didn't change:
(〃⊚_⊚) "Evidence? You want evidence, I'll give you evidence!"
As he spoke, his mechanical eyes began projecting, showing recordings of several passenger starships being attacked by dimension creatures in the dimensional wind tunnels!
The starships were torn apart and scrapped, and countless passengers died—including members of many races!
The footage shook, and the scenes were exceptionally bloody!
As soon as the recording was shown, murmurs broke out in the meeting room. The representatives of the various races all turned cold, with a hint of hidden worry in their eyes!
Wen Ge was sweating profusely—damn! When did this happen? Being released at this time, it was clearly prepared in advance!
What to do? After all, the races still didn't fully trust the dimensional wind tunnels, since the entire journey was a crossing through the dimensional gap!
If the Sacred Law Council ignited distrust in the hearts of the races, then the Dimensional Star Navigation would be...
Yang Jian's expression remained unchanged: "Ah~ you're talking about the Yonghe Incident? Actually, similar incidents have occurred seven times since the Dimensional Star Navigation went online!"
"The human high-level has attached great importance to this, conducting comprehensive investigations into these seven incidents, tracing back to the source!"
"We found the wreckage of the Yonghe starship, and on the coating of the ship's hull, we discovered the substance 'Diehun Fragrance'. Oh~ some of you might not know what this is!"
"Diehun Fragrance was originally used on dimensional battlefields to drive dimension creatures into a frenzy, stimulate their wild nature, attract them to gather, and then bombard them all at once to expand battle results!"
As he spoke, Yang Jian pulled out a series of investigation documents and slapped them on the table!
"As for why Diehun Fragrance appeared on the coating of the Yonghe, and why it so coincidentally took the Dimensional Star Navigation, I don't need to say more!"
"No need to explain either—the excuse will probably be that the Yonghe once participated in dimensional battlefields and accidentally got contaminated, not intentional. After all, such lies are hard to find fault with!"
"As for the other six incidents, some involved actively provoking dimension creatures, killing their kind to trigger conflict, or failing to follow regulations and driving out of the dimensional wind tunnels to hunt dimension creatures!"
"Oh right, of course, some used specific sound waves to deliberately attract dimension creature attacks! Ai Jiang?"
Ai Jiang, who had come along, immediately played audio and video recordings from her mechanical prosthetic body!
It showed the captain of the attacked starship plotting with a member of the Hidden Spirit Clan, the very plot being the attack incident!
At this moment, murmurs rose again in the meeting room. The representative of the Hidden Spirit Clan couldn't save face and couldn't help but cover their face!
Yang Jian said: "Actually, my people have also found that Hidden Spirit Clan member and used methods to extract the mastermind behind it. If you're interested, I don't mind playing the interrogation footage!"
"But if that happens, certain people's faces won't be able to stay!"
"To be honest, this kind of mudslinging isn't the first or second time—it's all old tricks I've played out. Next time you do it, can you be a bit cleaner? That would at least provide some challenge!"
"I'm sure you also have the recordings of the other six attack incidents, right? The editing should be equally gruesome!"
"Why not play them? We can compare them one by one! You can sling mud and dump shit on us, after all, you can't stand humanity, so using some tricks is normal! But using the lives of passengers from all races as a cost to play tricks—don't you think that's a bit much?"
"Right? Everyone?"
As he spoke, Yang Jian's gaze fell on Tiffany and Miao Ke. Although he didn't say they did it, every word was aimed at them!
Tiffany's face was ugly, her gaze dodging, but Miao Ke showed no expression, maintaining a poker face!
Wen Ge's eyes lit up—Old Yang was amazing! He had anticipated they would pull this stunt? He was fully prepared? He'd even set a trap for them!
He actually left them speechless!
