Chapter 911 - 591: It’s a Matter of These Few Days_2

These are all simple truths.

Those advanced civilizations have sent military forces across billions of light-years to attack the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall, spending an untold amount of resources. Would they call off the attack just because of the "Great Cold Silence" or the extinction of iron-based lifeforms?

Certainly not!

Anyone with a bit of insight could see this.

They’ve already invested so much resources and the time for reaping the rewards has come.

At that point, does it even matter whether the war is justified or not?

Furthermore, even if Lu Li steps in, it only eliminates the effects of the "Great Cold Silence" and iron-based life. It doesn’t mean the incident that almost destroyed the universe engineered by the Martial Hero Race didn’t happen. Those advanced civilizations can still use this as an excuse to continue their attacks, wouldn’t that still be seen as justified?

Lu Li has recognized this point and wants to use it to boost Gu Wei’s "prestige value."

Gu Wei furrowed his brow and asked, "If this happens, how do we handle it?"

Lu Li replied, "Firstly, I won’t immediately act to eliminate the ’Great Cold Silence’ or the extinction of the iron-based life species. Instead, I need you to represent me in helping the Martial Hero Race negotiate with those advanced civilizations during their most dire times of defeat."

Gu Wei listened intently.

Lu Li continued, "As for the content of the negotiations, it’s simple. You can directly tell those advanced civilizations to withdraw their troops, but they won’t receive any compensation because although the ’Great Cold Silence’ happened, it didn’t affect other celestial bodies. It only spread and expanded within the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall, so there’s no basis for compensation."

Gu Wei was puzzled and said, "Although the ’Great Cold Silence’ didn’t affect other celestial bodies, those advanced civilizations have expended a lot of manpower and resources. They finally saw hope in conquering the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall. Would they agree so easily?"

"I want them not to agree!"

Lu Li let out a cold laugh, "If compensation were indeed given, those advanced civilizations might bow to my authority, but if they gain nothing, they won’t have an explanation for the financial powers within their celestial realms who provided funds. They’d have no choice but to continue their attack on the Northern Crown and Hercules Great Wall. It’s then that I’ll make my appearance to let them know the consequences of disrespecting you, who represents me."

Gu Wei seemed to understand something and tentatively asked, "Mr. Lu, are you planning a grand move that will shock billions of advanced civilizations across the cosmos?"

"Correct."

Lu Li admitted.

Gu Wei asked excitedly, "Can I know in advance what kind of grand move you plan to make?"

"Sure." Lu Li spoke with dominance, "I plan to strike a celestial body not smaller than the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex, eradicating it from the universe, to intimidate other advanced civilizations!"

Holy shit!

The Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex is a whopping ten billion light-years in diameter!

Mr. Lu wants to erase such a massive celestial body to intimidate those advanced civilizations?

Gu Wei was truly stunned and his heart couldn’t help but race wildly.

He could foresee what kind of immense turmoil Lu Li would incite across the cosmos if he truly did this.

Undoubtedly, the entire universe would be shocked into silence, and awe for Lu Li would ascend to an indescribable transcendent level.

In Huaxia, there is a story called "Stop the Child’s Night Cry."

It’s said in the 20th year of Jian’an during the Eastern Han, the Wei general Zhang Liao led eight hundred warriors to raid Sun Quan’s army of a hundred thousand, shocking Jiangdong.

Hence, the people of Jiangdong would use "Zhang Liao is coming" to scare crying children at night, the child would cease crying upon hearing the name, forming the anecdote "Zhang Liao Stops the Crying."

Gu Wei has every reason to believe that once Lu Li destroys a celestial body on par with the Pisces-Cetus Supercluster Complex, it would certainly create a "Stop the Child’s Night Cry" scenario across the entire cosmos.

No.

Not just stopping the child’s cry.

It might even cause billions of advanced civilizations to speak of it in fear.

Imagining such a scene, even Gu Wei couldn’t help but feel excited.

...

Just as Lu Li said, in less than two Earth days, Nuazai returned.

Nuazai certainly didn’t dare to directly seek out Lu Li since he nearly perished in the Diamond Home before. How would he dare to go there alone?

So, he contacted Gu Wei in advance.

Gu Wei knew of Nuazai’s esteemed status and feared extremists could pose a threat, so he arranged to meet in a safe location.

In Gusu, at a certain facility.

Gu Wei once again met with Nuazai and Li Luo.

Because both were wearing protective suits, they certainly couldn’t partake in tea or snacks.

Thus, Gu Wei found it convenient and didn’t make arrangements.

He sat on the sofa with Nuazai while Li Luo stood nearby.

Feigning ignorance, Gu Wei asked, "Your Excellency Nuazai, didn’t you just leave a few days ago? Why have you returned?"

Nuazai, the Cosmic Emperor, showed a slightly ingratiating smile, "Esteemed Mr. Gu Wei, after careful consideration, I was indeed at fault previously, harboring no remorse and displeasing the Land God. Now I deeply regret my actions and I wish to trouble you to reintroduce me to the Land God once more."

Gu Wei already knew the reason for his visit, as Lu Li had informed him in advance.

Hearing Nuazai say this confirmed it, and he secretly chuckled while sighing, "It’s not that I don’t want to help you. You know how angry Mr. Lu was when you saw him last. Back then, I could use the rapport I had built over time to persuade him to spare your life. This time, it may not work. So, for your own safety, I think it’s best not to bother Mr. Lu again."
