Chapter 2957 Post-War Situation

“Wait, wait, wait. My head is in a mess right now. Things might not be as bad as they seem. In any case, I still choose to believe in the wisdom and kindness of human beings.
Li Yao thought carefully and said, “However, I can understand your, Wenwen’s, and the Fist King’s choice. Indeed, from your point of view, it is impossible for you to trust the human beings in the narrow sense,
especially the Immortal Cultivators such as the Imperium of True Human Beings.
“However, what are the reactions of the federation and the imperium? Are they going to stand by and watch you take over the fleet of the Fuxis? Where are we right now? I mean, where is Ultimate Rescue and the
entire fleet of the Fuxis?”
“Of course, the citizens of the federation and the imperium were greatly shocked by our sudden appearance. Although some of them, the participants of the ‘high-end forums of abnormal human beings’, knew of our
existence, most of them were not aware of it. When we took over the fleet of the Fuxi Clan, it was no longer a secret.
Xiao Ming said, “I have no idea what is on the mind of most human beings. I don’t think they will have a good impression of us. However, what can they do even if they are infuriated? The coalition army of the
federation and the imperium is already exhausted. If they continue fighting, they will only accelerate their self-destruction. They won’t be able to stop us at all. Besides, Wenwen and I control the entire battle network
of the imperial capital, and the Fist King has a very high clearance for the ‘Arsonist Fleet’. Of course, we don’t have the ability to defeat all our opponents, but it is more than enough for us to fight to the death.
“The triangle is the most stable structure. The Star Glory Federation alone is not enough to compete with the entire Imperium of True Human Beings. We sent a message to the federation as soon as possible. We are
willing to sign the most solid treaty with the Star Glory Federation on behalf of the Holy Accord Alliance and supervise the revolution of the imperium together with the federation. The federation is also welcome to
supervise and even participate in the treatment of the citizens of the Sanctuary Alliance.
“At that time, the federation could not find any reason to refuse.
“And once the Federation’s expedition army and the Fuxi Fleet gradually form an alliance, it will be impossible for the citizens of the Star Ocean Imperium to annihilate us.
“On the contrary, if the revolutionaries want to take control of the center of the sea of stars, eliminate the remaining forces of the four electors as quickly as possible, restore order in the sea of stars, and avoid a repeat
of the past, the crystal processor and the information technology of our society will have to be further improved. It is impossible to eliminate the factors that affect the life of information.
“Our young emperor uncle is a smart man who can see the big picture. On a certain level, he is even smarter than our father and more suitable to be an excellent ruler. Besides, we’ve been together for a long time. He
has a deep understanding about us and does not have the concerns and biases that ordinary people have about the life of information. Therefore, he didn’t do anything stupid and chose to accept us and provide the
most basic resources and facilities for us.
“We are now on the most remote and desolate abandoned asteroid base in the Empyrean Terminus Sector.
“Although resources are scarce here, and we can’t even see a star, the facilities built hundreds of years ago are all intact and ready for use after simple maintenance. With the resources provided by the young emperor
and the reserves of the fleet of the Fuxi Clan, we will be able to catch our breath for now.
While Xiao Ming was talking, dozens of 3D light beams were shining behind him, displaying the lively scenes of maintenance and construction of the abandoned base.
It could be clearly seen that, although many starships of the Fuxi fleet were riddled with holes, their plate armor battered, and they looked like ragged clothes, they managed to maintain the integrity of the basic
structure and the last bit of vitality of the Holy Accord Alliance as well as the first hope of the life of information.
“It took the entire capital city about a week to completely end the unrest and restore basic order.
Xiao Ming said, “After that, the fleet of the Fuxi fleet, the expedition army of the federation, and the leadership of the imperium of the young emperor’s uncle held a secret meeting of the highest level on Empyrean
Terminus. Everybody accepted the fact that there was nothing they could do about it, and the three parties were officially established.
“Although this is not the most ideal ending where ‘justice triumphs over evil and all problems cease to exist’ and where there are still very serious disagreements and suspicions between the two parties, and who knows
when there will be more trouble, at least temporary peace has arrived. Peace, even if it is only for one second, is better than nothing, isn’t it?”
Li Yao agreed.
But he did not see it coming. “So fast? You met me in secret while I was asleep?”
“Yes. Well, both the Sanctuary Alliance, the imperium, and everybody in the federation thought that it was better to meet while my father was away.
Xiao Ming said, “If so, the atmosphere of the meeting will be more solemn, and we will be able to discuss the issues of interest more intensely without any obstacles.”
“What do you mean?”
Li Yao was dazed for a moment, as if he had been wronged. “So, if I were there, the atmosphere of the meeting wouldn’t have been so solemn, would it? Who said that? I am the supreme ruler of the universe, the father
of the federation, the best expert in the Pangu Universe, the god slayer, the Black Wind King, and the high-dimensional virus. How am I not solemn? How am I ‘obstacles’2”
“,,.Don’t be excited, Dad. It’s not that we don’t like you. It’s just that your identity is too special, and you’ve made tremendous contributions to the civilization of mankind. Your contributions are unparalleled in the past
ten thousand years and the next ten thousand years.
Xiao Ming explained, “Look, you are the father of the Star Glory Federation and the husband of the incumbent Speaker of the Federation. In the meantime, you are the Black Wind King of the Imperium of True Human
Beings and one of the two most powerful warlords. You are also the foster brother of the emperor and one of the behind-the-scenes advocates who put the emperor on the supreme throne. You are also the one who
saved the capital city twice in only half a year. Wu Yingqi, the Black Star Emperor in the first time, and Fuxi in the second time. It is safe to say that you blew them up with your own hands. From that point of view, it is
not an exaggeration to call you the ‘first person to rebuild the imperium’. As for the Sanctuary Alliance, it is needless to say that your child has replaced the position of the Fuxi and is managing the entire Sanctuary
Alliance.
“Therefore, think about it. If you participate in such a high-level meeting, when the interests of the federation, the imperium, and the Sanctuary Alliance are in conflict, and everyone is fighting for their interests, which
side will you help?”
“Well...”
Li Yao thought for a long time and failed to come up with an answer. He could only mumble, “Alright. It seems that I’ve climbed too high without me knowing. My position is too high, and I’m no longer suitable for
games such as the Star Ocean Imperium. The national affairs such as the federation, the imperium, and the Sanctuary Alliance should be handled by you kids. Then, how are you doing?”
“So far, so good.”
Xiao Ming counted his fingers and introduced them to Li Yao one by one. “First of all, the fleet of the Fuxi fleet has completely given up attacking. They are crouching near the abandoned base at the edge of the
Empyrean Terminus Sector. The imperial army has deployed dense cosmic mines between this place and Empyrean Terminus to make sure that the fleet of the Fuxi fleet cannot pose any threat.
“Then, according to the conditions of the surrender, we disarmed about half of the starships, two thirds of which were handed over to the federation and one third to the imperium. We also provided the critical
parameters and structural designs of the starships of the Sanctuary Alliance to both sides.
n exchange, the Star Ocean Imperium and the federation accepted the surrender of the Star Glory Federation and offered part of the limited assets to us, ensuring the survival of most of the citizens of the Star Glory
ederation.
n the meantime, the Star Ocean Imperium and the federation also agreed that, as long as the humanitarian disaster inside the territory of the Star Glory Federation was not completely out of control, they would not
ttack the territory of the Star Glory Federation and maintain the existence of the Star Glory Federation as a political entity. They also reluctantly accepted the fact that the political entity would be managed by
rtificial intelligence for a long time to come.
n the meantime, the two countries will try their best to control the public opinion at home and guide the public’s opinion about the people of the Star Glory Federation and the artificial intelligence to meld with each
ther, or at least to understand each other.
don’t know how binding such a promise is, but that’s all for now.
“After the secret agreement was established on Empyrean Terminus and half of the armed fleet of the Fuxi fleet was disarmed and handed over, the rest and supplies of the coalition army of the federation and the
imperium were mostly completed, too. Therefore, their vanguard pointed at the territories of the four electors’ families and launched a new round of attacks on the Yellow Dragon Sector, the heart of the old imperium.
“The smoothness of the attack could not be described as ‘crushing’, but ‘passing on’. The worlds under the control of the four electors’ families, including those of the Yellow Dragon Sector, had been in a state of panic
for a long time. Their only hope was that the new imperium and the Holy Alliance would suffer heavy losses and they could fish in troubled waters for a while longer. Now that the imperial capital had been pacified, the
Holy Alliance had surrendered to the imperium, and they had a strong ally named the federation, their last hope was dashed.
“From below the Yellow Dragon Sector, the nobles of the other worlds were all fighting to surrender. Some of them were even stabbing each other in the back in order to make up for their mistakes with trophies. Most
of the time, the coalition army of the federation and the imperium did not even need to send out a single soldier. They could hear the roars of ‘Long live Emperor Yongjia’, one planet after another.
“That being said, the territories of the four electors’ families are too vast, and there are too many important facilities and space jump nodes that need to be received. Even if every Sector sends a fleet to defend them,
their military strength is far from enough. Therefore, almost all the leadership of the federation and the new imperium have gone out to supervise the surrender of the four electors and restore the local order as soon
as possible. It is also the reason why I am left here alone..
