Chapter 1920: Chapter 582: Compromise (Part 4)
At this moment, City Lord Alicia calmly spoke.
"I think Council Member Ye Wei makes a valid point. Although there are significant variables involved, it’s better than being trapped. If we’re lucky, we might as well give it a try!"
"Exactly!"
Many council members chimed in supportively.
Long Bai observed the scene and coldly spoke.
"Silence!"
The noisy council hall immediately fell silent, with all eyes on Long Bai.
Long Bai spoke in a deep voice.
"The Federation Council upholds fairness, justice, and freedom, respecting everyone’s opinion. So I decide to leave the choice to you. Now, I formally announce the vote on Council Member Ye Wei’s proposal. Those opposed, please raise your hands!"
As Long Bai’s voice fell.
Long Ying was the first to raise his hand, declaring.
"I oppose!"
"I oppose too!"
Long Lan and others also spoke up."
However, Long Chen and others fell into silence, undoubtedly tempted by the proposal.
Long Bai glanced around the room, noticing that less than thirty percent raised their hands, then addressed everyone.
"The situation is clear now. Less than thirty percent of people oppose, so based on the overall vote results, I decide to hand over the Dimension Stone!"
"Great!"
Council Member Bai Kedi and others expressed their delight.
Long Ying’s facial muscles continuously twitched, and his hands clenched into fists beneath the chair.
Long Chen and others showed dull expressions, knowing although it’s temporarily handed over, retrieving it later is almost impossible.
Then Long Bai announced coldly.
"Transmit my order, the Federation Government will officially announce handing over the Dimension Stone, and it will be sent from the Third Planet in 48 hours!"
"Yes!"
Everyone responded.
...
Soon, the Federation’s announcement appeared on the Star Cluster Forum and various news channels.
Countless Federation citizens saw this, and nearly half cheered.
"Great!"
"The Federation is handing over the Dimension Stone."
"The war is ending!"
...
But many citizens angrily protested.
"This is the Federation’s disgrace!"
"Why compromise? We are the victors!"
"We cannot hand it over!"
....
Inside Xi Guang Laboratory.
Su Ming lay on the bed, eyes closed in rest.
At this moment, Celeste suddenly appeared, calling out to Su Ming.
"Su Ming, Su Ming, something big has happened."
"What happened?"
Su Ming opened his tired eyes, looking at Celeste.
"What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?"
Celeste asked, somewhat surprised.
"It’s nothing, just a bit tired. What’s the matter?"
"The Federation has compromised and decided to hand over the Dimension Stone!"
"Oh, I know."
Su Ming replied calmly.
"Ah, is that your reaction?"
"What else?"
"I don’t understand why they backed down so easily?"
Celeste said angrily.
"Why are you so upset?"
Su Ming glanced at Celeste, saying.
Although the Federation decided to hand over the Dimension Stone, Su Ming knew it wasn’t that simple, as no one understood Long Bai’s temperament better than he did.
"Hmph, they previously spoke so righteously about not handing over the Dimension Stone. Yet ultimately, they did. If this was the case, they should have just given the Dimension Stone to Isabella in the beginning."
Celeste pouted as she spoke.
"Celeste, some matters aren’t as simple as you imagine. Moreover, that Dimension Stone is extremely terrifying and mysterious, not something ordinary people can handle. If it were really given to Lord Isabella, it might end up harming her."
Su Ming rationally explained to Celeste.
"Really?"
Celeste replied, somewhat skeptically.
"Sure, you can see it from Long Xian. He’s not weak, yet look at what he became."
"Alright."
Celeste replied, reluctantly.

In the central control room of Divine Authority Star.
Fanluo God Emperor sat in the command chair, leisurely listening to gentle music with his eyes closed.
At this moment, Edrigge Vice Patriarch rushed in, excitedly calling out.
"Lord God Emperor, good news!"
"What good news?"
Fanluo God Emperor opened his eyes abruptly to ask.
"The Federation has compromised, decided to hand over the Dimension Stone!"
Edrigge Vice Patriarch quickly reported.
"What did you say, Long Bai compromised?"
Fanluo God Emperor heard the news and appeared gloomy instead, without a trace of joy on his face.
"Yes, Lord God Emperor, what’s wrong with you? Isn’t this good news?"
Edrigge Vice Patriarch asked in confusion.
"Nothing, it is good news."
Fanluo quickly adjusted his mood, revealing a bright smile.
In fact, Fanluo was already burning with anger inside, as he united everyone to attack the Federation, intending to fish in troubled waters and snatch the Dimension Stone.
But if the Federation directly hands over the Dimension Stone, he’s placed in a difficult position.
Fanluo God Emperor thought of this, raised his hand, and waved.
The virtual interface instantly appeared, and he immediately sent remote communication requests to Hirog Clan Leader, Herares Clan Leader, and Dark Star Emperor.
Swish!
Virtual images of Hirog Clan Leader, Herares Clan Leader, and Dark Star Emperor instantly appeared.
"Gentlemen, you must have all received the news."
Fanluo God Emperor said with a smile.
"Of course, we have!"
Herares Clan Leader replied imposingly.
"Then, what do you plan to do?"
Fanluo God Emperor asked with interest.
"Hmph, what else? Next, we rely on our own skills; whoever gets it claims it."
Dark Star Emperor spoke disdainfully.
