Chapter 443: Arrived! Who is this spectacle meant to intimidate?

No matter how the two of them thought.

The appearance of the Yanhuang fleet immediately drew the attention of all civilizations in this star region.

A soft gravitational beam shot from a white spire on the ring, precisely enveloping the Pangu.

"Welcome to the Interstellar Alliance G-37 Branch, envoys of the Yanhuang Civilization. Please follow our guidance to the central docking port."

An emotionless synthetic sound rang out.

Under the pull of the gravitational beam, the Yanhuang fleet slowly flew toward the ring-shaped celestial body.

The closer they got, the more they felt the grandeur and oppressive presence of this interstellar city.

The Pangu's hull, stretching over ten thousand kilometers, was but a speck of dust before this city.

In the bridge, the young staff officers' pride was replaced by shock.

They intuitively felt for the first time that the gap between seventh-level civilizations might be even greater than that between first- and sixth-level civilizations.

Zhou Yunhai noticed the change in everyone's emotions, but he said nothing.

Appropriate shock helps them see reality clearly and guard against arrogance and impatience.

But he himself remained completely unmoved inside.

Grand? Spectacular?

No matter how grand, could it compare to Chief Commander Qin Hao's single punch that repelled the Overlord's Hand of Emptiness?

These outward appearances might fool others, but they cannot fool him.

The fleet was finally guided to a massive open dockyard.

The dockyard's floor was paved with pure white energy crystals, already hosting five fleets of wildly different styles.

Each fleet's flagship exuded a terrifying aura far beyond that of an ordinary seventh-level civilization.

Their hulls bore different insignia:

a blooming metal lotus, a beating crystal heart, a lightning-entwined war hammer, an opened star book,

and… a statue with a human head and a snake body.

Nüwa Civilization!

He Ge's gaze lingered on that statue for a moment.

"Looks like all the main players have arrived."

He whispered to Zhou Yunhai:

"Representatives of the Five Council Civilizations."

Zhou Yunhai's gaze swept over the five fleets: "All are seventh-level high-tier."

At the moment the Yanhuang fleet steadied, five figures almost simultaneously emerged from their respective flagships and appeared in the center of the dockyard.

Their forms varied.

There was a burly giant clad in rune armor, wielding a thunder war hammer.

There was an energy lifeform composed of countless starlight points, constantly shifting its form.

There was a mysterious presence seated on a lotus throne, with an indistinct face, gender indiscernible.

……

Among them, the most eye-catching was a woman dressed in palace attire, with a gentle visage but eyes as still as an ancient well.

Her lower body was a verdant snake tail, matching the style of the Nüwa Civilization's flagship.

These five are the highest echelon of the Interstellar Alliance G-37 Branch, representatives of the five seventh-level high-tier civilizations.

They said nothing, merely standing there in silence.

Five scrutinizing gazes, like five invisible swords, fell upon He Ge and Zhou Yunhai, who had just stepped down from the Pangu.

An immense pressure, almost suffocating, swept in from all directions.

Space seemed to freeze, and the flow of time slowed.

This was a joint pressure exerted by the five seventh-level high-tier powerhouses, a silent show of force.

They wanted to see just how much this newly risen civilization, which dared to oppose the Iron Fist Civilization and refused the Wind Speakers' guidance, was truly worth.

Zhou Yunhai let out a muffled grunt, his body sinking slightly, but he immediately straightened his spine,

like a spear planted in the ground, yielding not an inch.

But He Ge seemed to feel no pressure at all.

He remained his usual smiling self, even taking a moment to tidy his clothes,

and then he walked forward at a leisurely pace to greet the five representatives.

"Yanhuang Civilization envoy—He Ge, greetings to all."

"We've been traveling hard all the way, making you wait. May I ask when this verification ceremony will begin?"
