Chapter 2335: Ceasefire Agreement
This Black Hole Jet directly elevated the entire Starry Sky's perception of Jiangnan to a whole new level!
The public opinion on the Stellar Network was almost overwhelmingly one-sided. The Starry Sky Races all expressed their stance, unwilling to follow the Sacred Law Council in opposing the Fifth Calamity!
The blazing rainbow jet lasted a full 21 seconds before finally ending. The dome bubble disappeared, and the accretion disk around the black hole was also ejected along with the Black Hole Jet just now, evaporating completely!
The Starry Sky fell into a dead silence!
There were no intact celestial bodies left around the black hole. Mai Liushi hadn't even finished cooling down yet!
Jiangnan had said earlier that he might not be able to completely dismantle Northern Crown Star Capital.
But after this wave, combined with the help of many Star-Devouring good teammates, the goal of severely damaging Northern Crown Star Capital was achieved!
The achievement of the Northern Crown Great Catastrophe was unlocked!
The two crimson glows at the center of the black hole dimmed slightly. All the Star-Devourers were waiting in anticipation!
They expected Jiangnan to deactivate his black hole state because he couldn't bear the load any longer!
However, a scene that made Di Chou curse his mother occurred. Although the black hole's crimson glow had dimmed a bit, it actually began capturing surrounding celestial fragments again, re-forming the accretion disk!
Clearly, it wanted to fire another shot!
Mai Liushi couldn't believe his eyes: "This guy doesn't know fatigue? He can still do it again? How is that possible!"
Yet this impossible scene was unfolding right before his eyes!
Seeing the timing was right, Qian Benying quickly spoke up!
(❀ᵒ̴̶̷◠ᵒ̴̶̷)"What? After witnessing that jet just now, do you still have the determination to block the Black Hole Devouring Star? Not destructive enough, huh? Is it enough now?"
"Indeed! The Sacred Law Council can form a Calamity Response Squad, but are you really determined to bear the losses caused by fighting the Fifth Calamity?"
"Even if you are, are the other Starry Sky Races willing? The Sacred Law Council is not a one-man show for you Bose Race!"
Tie Zu's mechanical eyes flickered incessantly. He gathered data from the Stellar Network and even consulted the Supreme Wisdom!
Weighing the pros and cons, the Silicon Race clearly chose what was most beneficial to them at the moment—that one.
His gaze then turned to Yu Gen!
Yu Gen took a deep breath and finally let out a long sigh. Looking at the black hole re-forming its accretion disk, his eyes were filled with helplessness!
Di Chou panicked and quickly used his horn communication for a private chat!
(￢益￢٥)"Uncle Gen! We can't back down at a time like this! You see it more clearly than I do. Once we agree to Jiangnan's terms, it sets a precedent. It might even shake the foundation of the Thousand Stars Era! We..."
Yu Gen said calmly: "What else? Any other ideas? You really want to play cat and mouse with Jiangnan? The Star-Devourers of various clans don't have that kind of free time!"
"Who has the energy to play with Jiangnan? If it were just a black hole, playing along might be fine, but this Black Hole Jet is troublesome! Its destructive power is obvious to all!"
"If we really go head-to-head, we can't guarantee we'll block it in time every time. There will definitely be destruction and casualties! If this continues, the Starry Sky Races will inevitably complain, blaming the Sacred Law Council for picking a fight and sowing seeds of instability!"
"I thought Jiangnan would back down, but who knew he'd pull this move on me? As for shaking the foundation of the era? Hah! One Jiangnan? Is he worthy? The Thousand Stars Era is not something one person can topple!"
"He's just a newborn calf not afraid of tigers. One day, he'll hit a wall and bleed!"
Di Chou's face was full of unwillingness: "Is there really no way to crack Jiangnan's Black Hole Devouring Star? If we invite Xun Zu from our clan, surely we can..."
Yu Gen's gaze turned cold: (￢_￢◟)"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Do you have no sense of the bigger picture? Expose our clan's methods for the sake of one Jiangnan? You must be crazy! What would be the point of hiding it until now?"
"Don't forget! Our enemies are not just humans. Every single sequence below the first among the Starry Sky Races is our enemy!"
"Countless races covet the throne of Star Domain Overlord. The Bose Race has existed since its inception and continues to this day not by seeking temporary gratification!"
"Now we have to admit that humans have grown up and carved out a place in the Starry Sky. Continuing to suppress them can no longer stop their rise. On the contrary, it will be counterproductive. Did your Death Prison suppression plan succeed? If not for your suppression, Jiangnan wouldn't have grown this fast!"
Di Chou was immediately scolded into submission by Yu Gen!
"But if we give in, then face really becomes worthless!"
Yu Gen said lightly: "Is face that important? No matter what, it doesn't change the fact that our Bose Race is still the Star Domain Overlord! The other races have no idea what kind of foundation we truly possess!"
"The Sequence War is about to begin. The focus now is how to solidify our throne as Star Domain Overlord, weaken the foundations of various major sequence races during the war, and widen the gap. There's no need to stir up more trouble!"
"Otherwise, we'll get bogged down again. Besides, giving the 241 mining zones to humans is actually giving them to the Insect race's mines. What does that have to do with us?"
"Compared to the cost of agreeing to the terms, exposing Xun Zu would be a huge loss! Choose the lesser of two evils!"
Di Chou was helpless and finally had to let out a long sigh!
Then Yu Gen looked at Jiang Black Hole, his gaze shifting, and said in a loud voice:
(◞‾᷄‸‾᷅)"Stop! Stop destroying! I can hear the weeping of the stars, the lament of the Star Capital! The Sacred Law Council can back down and agree to your terms!"
"But listen! The Sacred Law Council is not conceding to you, but rather cannot bear to see the innocent people of the world and the Starry Sky Races suffer! To stop your evil deeds and bring lasting peace to the Starry Sky, what price is a little sacrifice?"
"If you truly love this Starry Sky, you should immediately cease what you're doing!"
When these words came out, the entire Bully Gang looked as if they had eaten a dirty sock!
Cut the crap! It's just that the price of fighting the Fifth Calamity is a bit too much for you to accept, right?
So you choose to back down. If Jiangnan wasn't pushed to the limit, would he have done this?
Besides, you didn't hold back in dismantling Northern Crown Star Capital either!
Qian Benying pouted and muttered softly:
(❀◔₃◔ิ❀)"It's okay to be scared, but don't be stubborn. After acting like a bitch, why set up a chastity monument?"
"You weren't saying that just now. Changed your tune now? Pfft~"
Just a moment ago, you were throwing heavy punches, shouting that you would never give in. Now you're all timid, acting for the sake of the Starry Sky Races?
Yu Gen glared: (◞▼皿▼)"What did you say, you dead pink-haired girl? Say that again?"
Qian Benying shuddered, averted her eyes, and started whistling:
(❀◔ㅂ◔ิ)"Didn't say anything~ Your ears must be smoking! Ah ha~ Ah haha~"
Yu Gen: !!!
But Chong Qianjin was anxious:
(งᵒ̌口ᵒ̌)ง"What? What do you mean by agreeing to Jiangnan's terms? Those are the Insect race's mines! How can they be given to humans? No!"
Yu Gen looked coldly at her: "This is a joint decision of the Sacred Law Council. Do you have any objections?"
"Or do you, the Insect race, want to help deal with the Fifth Calamity? And compensate for all losses caused by the Fifth Calamity?"
Chong Qianjin's expression turned extremely ugly. How can we fight the Fifth Calamity? And how can we afford to compensate?
But...
"Do the rest agree?"
Noah said leisurely: (◕ˇ↼ˇ◕)"Of course I'm willing? Better to have less trouble than more? Calming things down is the best!"
Gu Ruide smiled: (＾ワ＾◦)"This is best! After all, we can't let fighting the Calamity delay the Sequence War? Peaceful development is the hard truth!"
Tie Zu also nodded. Even though Mai Liushi and Chen Mu were holding back a belly full of anger, they could only agree!
Chong Qianjin's heart went cold. It's over! All over!
The loss is huge. This time, the Insect race might not even hold on to the top ten. A bunch of bastards who eat people without spitting out bones!
Yu Gen said loudly: "Although the Sacred Law Council has backed down for the peace of the Starry Sky and agreed to Jiangnan's terms,"
"That doesn't mean everything Jiangnan says goes! The 241 mining zones of Chong Feiyu can belong to humans. The Sacred Law Council will no longer use various reasons to suppress the human race!"
"To ensure the Fifth Calamity does not break out, a Special Action Permit can also be issued to Jiangnan!"
"But Jiangnan must guarantee not to activate the Black Hole Devouring Star domain in public. That domain is banned. If Jiangnan goes back on his word, don't blame the Sacred Law Council for being harsh!"
Qian Benying was delighted. So this means they agreed?
(❀ˇ～ˇ)"Hmph~ That's only if the Sacred Law Council abides by the agreement. Don't forget, the initiative of the Fifth Calamity is in Jiangnan's hands!"
After saying that, she looked at Jiang Black Hole inquiringly!
The black hole's red glow flickered twice, indicating it was completely Okay!
Just those 241 mining zones alone were already a huge profit! The Sacred Law Council didn't want to fight, and neither did Jiangnan. Otherwise, all this effort would be in vain!
The two sides once again formed a balanced state of mutual restraint!
Yu Gen said calmly: "Let's keep our word. Since both sides want to end this, let's be straightforward and act according to the agreement!"
"The Sacred Law Council will not engage in any acts of suppression against humans. Jiangnan can also walk normally under the Starry Sky. On the human side, they cannot arbitrarily terminate the Dimensional War, stop the Dimensional Star Navigation, or release the Black Hole Devouring Star without reason!"
"If one side oversteps, the Sacred Law Council will do whatever it takes to suppress the heresy! Is that acceptable?"
Qian Benying placed her hands on her hips: "As long as the Sacred Law Council behaves itself and doesn't cross the line, we will never release Jiangnan first!"
Chong Feiyu covered her face. Why does it feel like Jiangnan has become some kind of forbidden weapon?
Di Chou was furious. Dante and Venus were both dead, and there was a Creation Beast in Jiangnan's hands!
This debt hadn't been settled yet. But under the current circumstances, there was no way to bring it up!
Nothing that fell into Jiangnan's hands had ever been successfully retrieved!
He said grumpily: (✡•᷅益•᷄)"The terms are all negotiated. It's a ceasefire now. Can you deactivate the Black Hole Devouring Star?"
Then Jiang Black Hole's red glow flickered. Although Jiangnan's will was a bit fatigued from fighting until now, he could still hold on for a while more. It wasn't easy to finally open the Black Hole Devouring Star, so he couldn't waste it!
So Jiang Black Hole looked upward and fixed his gaze on the giant Eye of the Starry Sky above Northern Crown Star Capital.
How about... try it? Teehee~
Then let's try it!
Jiang Black Hole immediately scurried upward, charging straight for the Eye of the Starry Sky!
He even dragged Mai Liushi and Chen Mu along!
Mai Liushi: ???
"Hey hey hey? Didn't we agree on a ceasefire? What else are you going to do?"
Wang Youzhi was suddenly startled. Holy crap! Is the little brother really going to suck the Eye of the Starry Sky?
That's so brave?
