Chapter 523: Occupation, Conversation, and Arching the Fire?
Chapter 523: Occupation, Conversation, and Arching the Fire?
The establishment of relations between the Endless Abyss and the Blue Song Civilization was not ideal. The other party came to pick a fight and to investigate the bottom line of the Endless Abyss, and it was clear that they did not take the Endless Abyss seriously.
Although the Blue Song Civilization was only of medium strength, its territory was not small, at least much larger than the Endless Abyss under Qin Muye's command.
Of course, a large territory does not necessarily mean they were powerful. This Shining Universe server is quite large, and the Blue Song Civilization is only of medium strength within the entire server.
The monsters under Qin Muye's command could wipe out the Blue Song Civilization.
However, as a good person, Qin Muye would not let them be exterminated.
He knew that in this world, besides the arms trade, there was another business that was also very profitable—the slave trade.
The Blue Song people were tall and blue-skinned, just like in "Avatar." The main point was that they had a selling point; the voices of these Blue Song people were very pleasant to hear, and apart from being a bit ugly, there was not much difference.
But ugliness was not a problem; Qin Muye had the technology, the insectoid's metamorphic technology. It didn't matter whether it was appearance or gender.
So, Qin Muye prepared to create a biological weapon that combined entertainment and combat, and chose the Blue Song people as the sample.
Actually, he was indifferent to which aliens he chose. The main reason was that the Blue Song Civilization had run into his hands, so he went with the flow of things.
To be honest, if he communicated with them through normal diplomatic means, Qin Muye wouldn't have chosen the Blue Song Civilization, but unfortunately, the other party needed to set an example for the Cluster Star Empire.
No one was wrong, the world was wrong.
Qin Muye needed resources to rise, and the Blue Song Civilization needed resources as well.
As for letting the other party off easy? That was impossible. The other party had never thought of letting themselves off easy, so how could Qin Muye let them off easy? Would he have to let the other party off easy everywhere, just like Vice Ma Wen?
After the other party left, the Black Hand arranged for the entire envoy to be wiped out. They were just outside the Endless Abyss's gate, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the entire spacecraft was blown up.
After the explosion, they directly claimed that this was a frame-up by the Blue Song Civilization, who intentionally killed the envoys after the talks and demanded an explanation from the Blue Song Civilization. Otherwise, it would be considered a declaration of war on the Endless Abyss.
This move not only left the Blue Song Civilization confused but also left the Cluster Star Empire somewhat confused. It was bad enough to be framed, but to also accuse and attack them immediately was a bit much.
However, although such an incident was rare, it was not without precedent. Therefore, the Blue Song Civilization planned to issue regular announcements to explain and warn, demanding that the Endless Abyss hand over the culprit, otherwise, they would take action.
In response, the Endless Abyss did not respond, because they took immediate action.
After three days, a terrifying warship made of flesh and blood, led by hundreds of thousands of elite monsters, occupied all the planets of the Blue Song Civilization. Those who resisted were all beheaded, and the Blue Song King was smoothly bound and hung on the presidential palace of the Blue Song capital, broadcast live to the entire universe.
From invasion to occupation, it took no more than an hour, and the entire civilization fell.
And that 7th-rank Blue Song person, after being chopped into eighteen pieces, was buried on the spot, all within three seconds.
Such a swift move was not only something the Blue Song Civilization did not react to, but even the Cluster Star Empire did not react. By the time they reacted, the Blue Song King announced the destruction of the Blue Song Civilization, which became a vassal of the Endless Abyss.
At this point, it was too late for anything, and the situation had become a fait accompli.
Meanwhile, the various holy Sect and the Union of All Things simultaneously condemned the Endless Abyss for starting this war, and then just left it at that.
No one knew the loyalty of the Blue Song Civilization to the Cluster Star Empire. This extermination only caused trouble for the Cluster Star Empire, and the condemnation was just a light-hearted statement. It was impossible for them to take real action. If any of ofuye's forces really needed help, they would immediately review the force that helped the Blue Song Civilization, but there would be no betrayal.
This incident also stirred quite a Stir in the Shining Universe, mainly due to the various Holy Sect and the Union of All Things pushing the waves, and the Cluster Civilization needed help to boost its prestige.
Qin Muye and the Endless Abyss, as well as the Blue Song Civilization, of course, had their own plans, preparing to further support each other.
If they could really plant a thorn in the side of the Cluster Star Empire, it would be enough to irritate the other party, even if nothing else.
Among the three major powers, apart from the Union of All Things being somewhat special, neither the Holy Sects nor the Cluster Star Empire would often take direct action. Unless they had a just cause, it would definitely provoke the other two parties to intervene, so more often than not, they engaged in proxy wars.
The reason the Union of All Things did not engage in proxy wars was that it was composed of various civilizations, so it was not entirely monolithic. However, since all major powers were in the hands of S-rank experts within their civilizations, the likelihood of internal conflicts was low, and more often, it was a matter of interest disputes.
The greatest interest, of course, was to unite against external threats to protect themselves. Although the Union of All Things was always on the brink of collapse, as long as the S-rank experts did not want to lose this benefit, even if there were internal conflicts, all civilizations within the Union of All Things were the closest allies.
Interestingly, the Holy Sects arrived the fastest, followed by the Cluster Star Empire, and lastly, the Union of All Things.
The conditions offered by the Holy Sects were quite generous and were presented right in front of the Cluster Star Empire.
More importantly, the Union of All Things also upped the ante, stating that they would provide support and, if the Endless Abyss joined the Union of All Things, they would publicly recognize the legitimacy of the Endless Abyss.
This meant that all the star systems of the Blue Song Civilization would belong to Qin Muye, and both the Holy Sects and the Union of All Things would remain silent on the issue of the Blue Song aliens, neither publicly supporting nor opposing it, effectively ignoring it in the universe.
The Cluster Star Empire took a more aggressive stance, requiring the Endless Abyss to cooperate in the relocation of the Blue Song aliens. They would then issue an official report recognizing the public announcement made by the Blue Song King as valid, and the Endless Abyss would be recognized as the legitimate successor of the Blue Song Civilization, with some assistance provided.
Despite the grand promises of the first two civilizations, they were essentially offering nothing more than a bit of aid and moral support, given the vast distance and their unwillingness to truly go to war with the Cluster Star Empire for the sake of the Endless Abyss.
Conversely, although the Cluster Star Empire's attitude was not great, they essentially wanted the Endless Abyss to be their subordinate, regardless of who controlled the area. They also wanted to ensure that their former subordinates were not left in the cold and would be taken care of.
The Black Hand rejected all these offers, whether it was moral support or the role of a subordinate. These offers were simply for their utility, but the problem was that they offered no real benefit to the Endless Abyss.
The Blue Song Civilization was already under their control, and regardless of whether they acknowledged it, the actual control would not be relinquished.
If pushed to the brink, they could simply drain all the resources from the planets, exterminate all the Blue Song aliens to use as skeleton soldiers, and then flee with the Endless Abyss.
For the Endless Abyss, it made no difference where they were, but for the major powers, it was a matter of territory.
Seeing this, the Holy Sects and the Union of All Things continued to stir the pot, enjoying the situation. It was better if the Endless Abyss did not accept their aid, as it saved them money. As long as the Endless Abyss and the Cluster Star Empire did not get along, the situation could develop in any way without issue.
The representative from the Cluster Star Empire who came to negotiate had a face as black as the bottom of a pot. They had thought the matter was a sure thing, as the military strength of the Endless Abyss was enough to make them a valuable subordinate, but they did not expect such a strong resistance.
The negotiations broke down after a long day of discussion.
The representatives from the Holy Sects and the Union of All Things left with a chuckle, of course, they were also worried that it was a show, so they intentionally leaked the negotiation results and publicized them extensively.
Even though the Cluster Star Empire was well-prepared, they were still somewhat flustered. They needed to win the hearts of the Blue Song aliens to inherit the Blue Song Civilization's legacy, and this outcome made it much more difficult.
Fundamentally, it was not the fault of the Endless Abyss but the clash of the three major powers.
In the Endless Abyss, neither Qin Muye nor the Black Hand cared about the so-called public opinion. Words could indeed kill, but sometimes they were also powerless. As long as the other party was strong and shameless enough, public opinion would have no effect on them.
