Meanwhile, aside from these people from the Star Alliance headquarters, more representatives from various factions of the Dark Star Alliance were gathered here to conduct a meeting, discussing strategies to repel the demon tide invasion.
Without exception, all of these people were extremely powerful, at least Control Level and above, existing as Dominator Level entities in ordinary star systems.
Among this group, Yang Yangyang, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Star Alliance, naturally sat in the chief seat.
He crossed his fingers against his chest, listening to the crowd discuss the plan for this operation.
His face showed no expression, and others couldn’t discern his inner thoughts at this moment, but his attitude would undoubtedly determine how the organization would respond to the crisis ahead.
Therefore, before Yang Yangyang officially spoke, no matter how intense the discussions were, it was impossible to reach a clear outcome.
"I propose we can have all the races within the Dark Star Alliance migrate to the Original Realm, or use the Original Realm to transfer to the First Universe to avoid the calamity."
Another person spoke up, a large man with tan skin and his entire body covered in peculiar tattoos.
This man was an Aigus, easy to recognize by the people of the Dark Spirit Star Domain, as they always liked to adorn their bodies with various peculiar patterns.
These patterns are not just for show; they are bestowed with power, assisting the Aigus in combat, and the Star Pattern originated from this custom.
"Chong Ming, don’t let your muscles replace your thinking. Do you know how many civilizations are in the Dark Star Alliance? Trying to transport all these people to the Original Realm is unrealistic! Even saving only a portion is not feasible, opening the Original Realm’s passage is a cumbersome task, and there is only one Tree Gate. Facing such a vast population, this rescue speed is far too slow and utterly meaningless to us! Please use what little brain you have next time before speaking and don’t waste our time with jokes!"
A white-haired man raised doubts and sarcastic remarks, apparently having some previous tension with Chong Ming.
"Bang!"
The Aigus strongman, referred to as Chong Ming, slammed the table and stood up. The immense power shattered the conference table into pieces, extending dozens of terrifying hundred-meter-long cracks on the ground.
"Magic Wolf! You dare challenge me! I will kill you!"
"Humph! With your doodles? Let me see if your childish tricks can even be presentable!"
"Enough!"
As tension escalated, Yang Yangyang, who had remained silent, finally spoke.
"What do you think this place is! The organization brought you here not for you to vent personal grievances!"
Yang Yangyang’s words carried significant weight, and the two, ready to fight moments ago, immediately suppressed their impulses, not daring to make any moves.
"Minister Bai Ze, I think these Aigus are entirely unfit to participate in strategic meetings. With their intelligence, they should be fighting on the frontline; this is not the place for them!"
The white-haired man spoke.
Once he said this, the other Aigus present stood up one after another, glaring at him angrily.
"Aigus are great warriors and can also be wise generals! Unlike you, Dark Spirit Star Domain people, who hide in your toy spacecrafts to fight, without any warrior honor!"
Chong Ming also responded fiercely, his words earning nods of approval from the Aigus but also discontent from others present.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Seeing the conflict shifting towards a Star Domain issue, Yang Yangyang immediately interrupted them.
He cast his eyes toward the white-haired man.
"Magic Wolf, the Aigus is the oldest civilization Star Domain; in this universe, all civilized races can trace their roots back there. What good do you gain by insulting them? If the doodles you mentioned are childish tricks, then why do you imprint Star Patterns?"
His questioning left the Magic Wolf speechless, unable to respond immediately.
"And you, Chong Ming."
Yang Yangyang turned his gaze to the Aigus strongman.
"To you, the Dark Spirit Star Domain is an emerging civilization Star Domain. You’ve only seen the glory of it becoming one of the Second Universe’s Four Star Domains, but have you witnessed the brutal history along the way? It was countless warriors of the Dark Spirit Star Domain, piloting what you call toys, that liberated this domain from the shadows of slave masters and the Insect Race. They forged this nation with their flesh and blood; dare you say these warriors never bathed in honor?"
Another questioning left Chong Ming in silence.
Yang Yangyang surveyed the crowd, his gaze sharp.
"Many of you here might have had various conflicts before; forcefully gathering together will inevitably cause friction, which is unavoidable."
"But have you considered that if you can burst into conflict over a mere operational meeting, how can the entire Star Domain truly unite to counter the Demon Clan’s invasion!?"
"If you can’t even achieve the most basic unity, the Star Alliance will not admit a group of troublemakers filled with hatred that disrupts the balance of the organization! Don’t think I’m exaggerating; from now on, if there is meaningless internal consumption breaking unity, the Star Alliance will reject the civilization they’re from. This is the last warning."
Yang Yangyang’s words silenced everyone, and the vast meeting room with tens of thousands of people fell into a terrified hush, knowing the person before them represented the powerful Star Alliance, impossible for them to challenge.
Seeing this, Yang Yangyang finally sighed in relief.
The Dark Spirit Star Domain people and Aigus always had some underlying discord; while not to the point of mortal conflict, they inexplicably found each other somewhat unpleasant.
The Dark Spirit Star Domain mainly developed Dark Spirit Technology, reaching its current scale, often viewing the Aigus as primitive and backward, regarding them almost like primitives.
Meanwhile, the Aigus have a totemic tradition; their civilization’s essence is embedded within those Star Patterns, showing disinterest, even strong resistance, to Dark Spirit Technology. When viewing Dark Spirit Star Domain people, there’s always a slight disdain, feeling their power is fake, entirely reliant on external means, and not true warriors.
Thus, clashes often occurred when the two sides met, with Chong Ming and Magic Wolf being typical examples of this situation.
In the past, the Dark Star Alliance’s integration would certainly have ousted all Aigus, considering this is the Dark Spirit Star Domain, where even if Aigus were present, their numbers were few.
But now, since the Star Alliance has taken over, fairness must be upheld, as both Aigus and Dark Spirit Star Domain people are new blood to the Star Alliance.
Now that the stick had been shown, a sweet carrot was necessary.
Yang Yangyang pointed ahead, and a massive projection immediately appeared in the middle of the conference room, showing the overall Star Map of the Dark Star Alliance.
The densely scattered light points marked the Star Domains to which each civilization belonged, detailing all recorded civilizations within the Dark Star Alliance, now facing the threat of a demon tide invasion, clearly indicated by densely-packed red points.
