Chapter 399: Council Chairman — Xuntian Chairman

Qin Hao's voice, like a demonic sound from the Nine Abyss, echoed in the minds of Lei Cha and all survivors.

Fear.

Unprecedented fear seized everyone's hearts and minds.

What is that?

What exactly is that golden net?

No energy response, undetectable, yet it silently disintegrated seven hundred billion warships.

Is this still war? What's the difference from slaughter?

Lei Cha's energy-formed body trembled violently.

He finally understood how conservative the information sent back by the Fire Cloud Civilization's Firm Fire was.

What "mysterious dimensional technology"?

This is basically the means of gods!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Lei Cha snapped out of extreme shock and let out a hysterical scream.

The remaining three hundred billion warships, like a frightened school of fish,

frantically turned around, wildly ignited their engines, trying to escape this land of death.

However, Qin Hao did not order pursuit.

He simply watched those panicked fleeing fleets, the corner of his mouth curling into an arc.

The purpose of establishing prestige has already been achieved.

"Dimensional Cutting Defense Net, test successful."

Qian Yin's voice sounded beside him, her face also filled with shock.

This defense system was, according to the sample of the "Overlord's Finger" provided by Qin Hao,

derived from partial spatial cutting theory, combined with Yanhuang Civilization's own dimensional technology, and created.

In theory, it can weave space itself into countless sharp "strings" to cut any intruding matter at the molecular level.

But she never imagined the combat effect would be so terrifying.

"Record the data, continue optimization."

Qin Hao said calmly, "Next time, I hope it can cover a larger area."

"Yes!" Qian Yin's eyes flashed with light.

……

The defeat of the enforcement fleet was like a twelfth-level cosmic storm, sweeping across the entire Laya Council in an instant.

When Lei Cha returned to the council headquarters with less than three hundred billion remnants, disheveled, the entire council leadership fell into a deathly silence.

Seven hundred billion warships!

That wasn't seven hundred billion rocks, but the elite strength the council had painstakingly accumulated over a long time!

Actually, in just a few tens of seconds, they vanished like that?

Not even knowing how the enemy struck!

This news instantly silenced the radical faction within the council.

Those deputies clamoring to erase the Yanhuang Civilization now had faces ashen, silent as cicadas in winter.

"A...... sixth-level civilization that masters dimensional technology we cannot comprehend..."

The atmosphere in the council's conference hall was suppressed to the extreme.

"We...... have provoked a trouble we shouldn't have."

At this moment, a dignified voice sounded.

"Probing must stop."

The speaker was the chairman of the Laya Council—Xuntian.

His true form is a nebula over a thousand kilometers in diameter, with countless stars flickering within him, as if containing the wisdom of the universe.

Xuntian's voice made the radical deputies lower their heads.

"Chairman, what should we do? Just let it go? Where is the council's dignity?"

"Chairman, what should we do? Are we just going to let it go like this? Where is the dignity of the assembly?"

"Dignity?"

Xuntian snorted coldly, "Dignity is earned by strength, not shouted from the mouth. Now, the opponent's strength already qualifies them for equal dialogue with us."

"Immediately contact the Yanhuang Civilization; I want to personally talk to their high-level."

"Immediately contact the Yanhuang Civilization; I want to personally talk with their high-level leaders."

Soon, a communication request from the Laya Council chairman was sent to the Yanhuang Heavenly Court.

This time, the other side's wording was no longer a lofty command, but a relatively equal "meeting invitation".

Qin Hao looked at this communication, his face showing the expression of "as expected".

He knew that only by hurting the opponent could one earn the right to sit down and talk.

"Tell them I accept the meeting."

Qin Hao said to Zhou Shaoqing, "The location will be the outskirts of the Sea of Tranquility. Let them come themselves."

Qin Hao said to Zhou Shaoqing, "The location is just outside the Tranquil Sea. Let them come on their own."

It shows that although the Yanhuang Civilization is willing to talk, it is not afraid.

A few days later.

A few days later.

At the edge of the Silent Sea, the flagship Explorer of the Yanhuang Civilization hovered silently in the void.

Opposite it was the chairman's vessel of the Laya Council, that enormous nebula lifeform, 'Heavenly Patrol'.

No large fleet accompanied them; only the flagships of the two sides were present, which itself represented a kind of sincerity.

"You are the representative of the Yanhuang Civilization's high leadership, Qin Hao?"

Heavenly Patrol's vast mental ripple directly resonated within the bridge of the Explorer.

His voice still carried a hint of a superior's scrutiny, but the previous arrogance was gone.

"It's me."

Qin Hao stood on the bridge, facing off against that enormous nebula, his composure unperturbed.

"Your technology and weapons are quite special."

In Heavenly Patrol's mental ripple, there was a hint of wariness: 'That is a kind of dimensional technology we have never seen before.'

"They are just some insignificant little trinkets."

Qin Hao said lightly: 'It was originally meant to clean up space debris; I didn't expect your fleet to collide with it on its own—this is merely a misunderstanding.'

"A misunderstanding?"

Upon hearing these two words, the stars within Heavenly Patrol flickered violently.

Treating seven hundred billion elite warships as space junk to be cleaned up, and then calling it a misunderstanding?

What contempt!

But Heavenly Patrol forcibly suppressed the anger in its heart.

He knew that now was not the time to quibble over these matters.

"Mr. Qin Hao, your civilization is very powerful."

Heavenly Patrol shifted its tone: 'Powerful enough to deserve a place in Laniakea.'

"The previous conflict was due to our law enforcement fleet's excessive actions; I, on behalf of all civilization members of the Council, apologize to you."

Heavenly Patrol actually apologized on its own initiative.

This made those behind Qin Hao, such as Zhou Shaoqing, feel somewhat surprised.

Qin Hao, however, was not surprised.

In the face of absolute strength, so-called dignity is worthless.

However,

Xun Tian shifted the conversation, "The Sea of Tranquility is a special region of Laniyah Kaiya, its dimensional structure extremely unstable, any large-scale construction,"

could trigger unpredictable disasters, which is why the council has always forbidden any civilization from settling there."

"Your actions have already disrupted the dimensional balance."

Xun Tian intensified his tone.

Qin Hao laughed.

The other party was just looking for a way out, while also probing his bottom line.

"As for the issue of dimensional balance, there's no need for the council chair to worry."

Qin Hao waved his hand casually, and a holographic image appeared between the two flagships.

In the image, it was precisely the construction area of the Yanhuang Heavenly Court.

Those ten thousand dimensional stability towers, like a divine needle calming the sea, suppressed the originally chaotic and violent space into a mirror-like calm.

"As you can see, we have not only not disrupted the dimensional balance, but have reinforced it," Qin Hao said lightly.

Seeing this, Xun Tian fell silent again.

The other party's dimensional technology has already surpassed his comprehension.

They can not only use dimensions for attack, but also repair and reinforce dimensions.

This is simply unheard of.

"It seems your research on dimensional technology has reached an extremely high level."

Xun Tian's tone grew more solemn.

He realized that using "disrupting the dimensional balance" as an excuse to drive them away was now impossible.

"In that case, the council can recognize your legal right to reside in the Sea of Tranquility."

Xun Tian made a concession.

"However, as an exchange, you must pay the council a 'security tax' and share part of your dimensional technology."

This is Xun Tian's true purpose.

If you can't beat them, win them over.

While winning them over, one must also reap benefits.

Qin Hao sneered inwardly.

Share technology? Impossible.

Pay the security tax? Even more of a joke.

But he did not directly refuse.

"The matter of the security tax can be discussed."

Qin Hao's answer surprised Xun Tian somewhat.

"However, before we discuss that, I'd like to talk to the council chair about another topic first."

Qin Hao's eyes grew deep.

"I don't know if the council chair has heard of something called the 'Overlord'?"

"Overlord?"

The spiritual fluctuation of the Heavenly Patrol suddenly stalled.

"How could you know the Overlord?"
