# Chapter 2635: The Era's Rules Being Shaken
Qian Li couldn't help but clench his fists!
He could feel it, feel that blade aimed at the Bose Clan!
Once upon a time, the rules of the Thousand Stars Era were defined by the Bose Clan. Qian Li's words were the only truth, the mandate of heaven!
But now, the Silicon Base had risen, and Jiangnan had led the Carbon Alliance to stand up as well!
They were even publicly challenging the era's rules, trying to rewrite them!
Qian Li could feel it - the authority belonging to this Thousand Stars Era was slowly slipping from his grasp!
No, he absolutely could not back down this time!
If the Netherworld Clan were allowed out of their cage, the Bose Clan's sky would collapse!
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "All of you, shut up! Have you lost your minds? Or has lard covered your hearts?"
"Release the Netherworld Clan? Their abilities naturally counter the ten thousand races of the starry sky, posing the most direct threat to all sequences! Once this precedent is set, tomorrow your homes could fall under the iron fist of the Netherworld Clan!"
"And you would have no way to stop it! Today the Stygian River flows to the Sea of Star Embers, tomorrow it could surround your own home star domains!"
"A ferocious tiger can only be reassuring when locked in a cage! What kind of bewitching soup has Jiangnan fed you, that you no longer care about the safety of your own races?"
Qian Li's voice echoed through the Sea of Star Embers as he made his final attempt!
The originally silent Sea of Star Embers gradually filled with loud discussions, and the Netherworld Clan instantly became the focus!
Qian Li squinted: "Noah! Manti! Have you lost your minds? Doing such foolish things?"
"Your decisions will destroy your own races, and you will become the sinners of your peoples! This is aiding the tyrant!"
Noah remained expressionless: (￢_￢) "How the Dark Cosmos Entity makes its decisions is our own affair. There's no need for you to trouble yourself with it!"
Manti said calmly: "Even if my Apocalypse Race is destroyed because of this decision, it is our own choice. We will bear all consequences ourselves!"
They were not the kind of weathervanes that would sway with the wind just because someone said a few words!
Though they still harbored concerns about the Netherworld Clan!
But this was also a weapon that could counter the Bose Clan! As long as the Netherworld Clan was in Jiangnan's hands, in the Carbon Alliance's grasp!
Then the Netherworld Clan was the most reliable ally, and besides, they had no other choice!
Just as Jiangnan said, looking at the problem from a different angle, the result might be completely different!
Indeed, the Stygian River could surround their home star domains, but it could be a river of siege, or it could be a river of protection!
Qian Li's expression was as ugly as if he'd eaten a smelly sock. How had Jiangnan convinced them to stand with the Netherworld Clan?
This was simply unbelievable!
Just then, Jiangnan spoke loudly: "The Carbon Alliance! Officially submits to the Sacred Law Council the application for the Netherworld Clan to join the Starry Sky Sequence!"
☚(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)☛ "Who agrees? Who opposes?"
As he spoke, crimson baleful flame blazed fiercely on Jiangnan's body, the space around him twisted to the extreme. He raised his hand and grabbed, holding a two-dimensional blade!
His cold, scarlet eyes swept across the entire Sea of Star Embers!
"Think carefully before you speak!"
Every race shuddered violently!
Jiangnan's threat was already obvious. If anyone dared to oppose the Carbon Alliance!
Just wait and see! See if I can kill you during the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle!
Who gets targeted depends on your attitude afterward!
Now, even the races outside the Carbon Alliance didn't dare to speak. Who would dare to oppose Jiangnan?
Otherwise, when the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle came, Jiangnan's two-dimensional blade would surely strike them first!
Qian Li also squinted, his aura gradually becoming dangerous: "Yes? Think carefully before you speak! I am doing this for the ten thousand races of the starry sky! Don't forget who is truly the sky of this Thousand Stars Era!"
The expression of the wavering races grew even uglier!
If they agreed to release the Netherworld Clan, their own racial security would indeed be threatened, and they would also offend the Bose Clan!
But if they disagreed, the Bose Clan side would be fine, but would Jiangnan tolerate that? He was a more direct threat than the Netherworld Clan, and the payback would come immediately!
He would strike you soon!
These races caught in the middle were in a dilemma, so they could only pretend to be mute, lower their heads without taking a stance, hoping for peace!
Qian Li was even angrier. He was angry that Jiangnan's deterrent power and influence had grown so great that these races dared to ignore his threats!
"Why isn't anyone speaking? Have you all gone mute? Silicon Lord! What about you? If your machine brain hasn't been flooded with water, you should agree with my view, right?"
At this moment, everyone's gaze focused on the Silicon Lord!
Chen Mu, Mai Liushi, and the others were the same!
In principle, they would rather die than agree to release the Netherworld Clan. It only brought harm to them, no benefit!
The threat of the Netherworld Clan was real!
But the real controller of the Matter Alliance was the Silicon Base. The boss hadn't spoken yet, how could they take a stance?
However, Jiangnan's gaze fell on the Silicon Lord, a smile on his lips!
The Silicon Lord said expressionlessly: [┐￢_￢┌] "I believe there is nothing improper about allowing the Netherworld Clan to join the Starry Sky Sequence!"
"According to Starry Sky Law, based on the Netherworld Clan's strength, they indeed qualify to join the Starry Sky Sequence!"
"The Styx River Agreement established in the early years has many unreasonable aspects. It should indeed be abolished and renegotiated!"
Hearing this, Jiangnan wasn't surprised, but Noah and Manti were stunned!
Σ(°△°|||) What the hell?
The Silicon Base actually agreed to release the Netherworld Clan? This...
Even Unguye himself was stunned!
Was the Silicon Base this generous?
But now the Sea of Star Embers had completely exploded!
Qian Li's eyes reddened: "Silicon Lord! Has your program malfunctioned? You actually agree to release the Netherworld Clan? Can't they threaten your Silicon Base? Even though your foundation is technology, most of your deterrent power is still driven by energy!"
"Just to oppose my Bose Clan, is it worth this much? Do you even know what you're doing?"
The Silicon Lord said expressionlessly: [┐≖_≖┌] "I am very clear, and the Silicon Base is simply acting according to regulations. There is no personal emotion in this decision!"
"The Silicon Base agrees to the Netherworld Clan joining the Starry Sky Sequence, developing in the starry sky as a member of the sequence, communicating and exchanging friendly with the ten thousand races!"
Qian Li gritted his teeth: (ꐦథ益థ)σ "You..."
Not only Qian Li was anxious, but Chen Mu and Mai Liushi also panicked!
Had the Silicon Lord gone mad? Actually supporting the Carbon Alliance?
Releasing the Netherworld Clan brought no benefit whatsoever to either the Matter Alliance or the Silicon Base!
Only the Carbon Alliance would benefit! Why would the Silicon Lord...
However, the Silicon Lord calmly looked at Mai Liushi, Chen Mu, and the others, the meaning in his eyes already clear!
Their faces darkened. Even if this decision added a threat to their races, since the Silicon Lord had spoken, they could only obey!
"The Stardust Clan agrees..."
"The Celestial Star Clan also agrees..."
Not only that, but members of the Matter Alliance in the starry sky also began to voice their stance one after another, agreeing to the Netherworld Clan joining the Starry Sky Sequence!
But each of them wore a bitter face!
The Matter Alliance was not small in number, not weaker than the Carbon Alliance, and because most were matter-type life forms, their rankings were quite high!
Their voices carried considerable weight!
But then Saint York shouted loudly:
꒰ঌ(˵¯͒益¯͒˵)໒꒱ "I, the Angel Race, disagree with the Netherworld Clan joining the Starry Sky Sequence! I firmly support the Bose Clan's decision!"
Qian Li shot him a harsh glare!
Stop making a fool of yourself here! You disagreeing alone is useless!
Saint York's mouth twitched. Was I wrong to show support?
꒰ঌ(٥′◔﹏◔`)໒꒱
Wasn't I just pledging loyalty?
Now, aside from those who hadn't voiced their stance, more than half of the ten thousand races agreed to the Netherworld Clan joining the Starry Sky Sequence!
Among the current top ten sequences, only the Bose Clan and the Angel Race still insisted on their decision!
And Jiangnan was not at all surprised by the Silicon Lord's decision!
From the fact that the Silicon Base hadn't attacked the Carbon Alliance during the preparation period, Jiangnan had already guessed their thinking!
They too felt pressure from the Bose Clan!
So they wanted the Carbon Alliance to share the pressure for the Silicon Base and its Matter Alliance, giving them a chance to breathe!
Releasing the Netherworld Clan would indeed strengthen the Carbon Alliance and bring no benefit to the Matter Alliance, and even the Silicon Base itself would be threatened!
But the only advantage was that the Netherworld Clan could counterbalance the Bose Clan!
The Silicon Base's biggest goal at this stage was to topple the Bose Dynasty, to cut down the Bose Clan, the overlord of the starry sky!
If the old king doesn't go, the new king can't stand!
So the Silicon Base didn't mind making the starry sky more chaotic, making the Bose Clan more overwhelmed!
That way, they would have a better chance to ascend!
But these motives alone weren't enough for the Silicon Base to so readily agree to the Netherworld Clan's release!
After all, the threat of the Netherworld Clan to the Silicon Base was also real!
Yet the Silicon Lord agreed!
That meant the Silicon Base even held weapons to counter the Netherworld Clan, or even had no fear of the threat?
Because it couldn't constitute a threat but would instead counterbalance the Bose Clan, they agreed?
In an instant, Jiangnan's mind had turned countless times!
He also silently reminded himself!
Even if he pulled the Stygian River over as a moat, it wasn't foolproof!
After all, the Silicon Base, that old sixth, didn't usually suffer losses easily!
But Unguye was overjoyed at this moment!
His gaze burned as he looked at Jiangnan's back. He had actually created such a situation?
The Netherworld Clan, without spending a single soldier, was about to gain the qualification to join the Starry Sky Sequence?
For Unguye, this was simply a miracle!
The way of power and strategy was also an invisible killing sword!
Jiangnan grinned:
(〃･᷄◡･᷅) "Lord Qian Li~ The times have changed!"
"You just said that this Thousand Stars Era is the era of the ten thousand races of the starry sky! Now, more than half of the races all agree to this proposal! So the minority submitting to the majority is reasonable and logical, right?"
"As the overlord of the starry sky, your Bose Clan wouldn't go against the will of the people and ignore the expectations of the masses in this Thousand Stars Era, would you?"
At this moment, Qian Li's expression had reached its ugliest!
The four words 'overlord of the starry sky' sounded so harsh in his ears!
Bastard, digging a pit for me!
Was I being cornered?
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "Tsk~ What if I say I disagree?"
As he spoke, Qian Li raised his hand into the void and pulled out a ten-colored long sword!
Whether the Sea of Star Embers existed or not was all in Qian Li's single thought!
