"It is a blessing for the Earthlings to be able to subdue the Netherworld King." Elder Yimo smiled. "This matter will end here. Furthermore, the Earth has produced talents like Wang Zhong and Mu Zi at the same time. Furthermore, their strength has reached the threshold. I feel that the level-5 civilization evaluation is no longer suitable. We should be promoted to a level-6 civilization. "
The Natural Race and the Soul Race had spoken, and their opinions were unanimous. This was almost set in stone.
The scales of the decision had obviously tilted. Those who did not understand the situation could only be vile people.
Miehill could only sigh silently, but he smiled and said, "The Earthlings are indeed extraordinary people. It is naturally for the best that this matter can be resolved. The Heavenly Gates is not inflexible. I agree with Elder Yimo and Elder Baifan's opinions. The Fire Demon Race agrees."
"Alright!" Superintendent Erza waved her hand. "Since the three of you have the same opinion, this matter is decided! Cancel the Celestial Honors Mission against the Netherworld King, cancel the alert control over the Earth, and promote the Earth to a level-6 civilization. Wang Zhong, you can inform Mu Zi to come to the Heavenly Gates. Many of the elders present will be very happy to meet the legendary Netherworld King and want to see how outstanding the Earthling who subdued the Netherworld King is. As long as this is confirmed, the Earth will officially be recognized as a level-6 civilization. "
"Understood." Wang Zhong bowed respectfully. Although he had already predicted this result, the sudden 'joint hearing' today made him feel uneasy. Only when he heard Superintendent Erza personally announce it did he feel as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart. He felt much more relaxed. "However, I still have one more thing that I would like to seek the approval of Superintendent and the elders."
"Heh heh. You have dealt with the Netherworld King incident and made a great contribution to the Heavenly Gates. If you have any legitimate requests, the Heavenly Gates will grant them."
Lao Wang seemed to have relaxed. He turned around and looked at Elder Aikesi from the Blood Demon Race. "The Blood Demon Race ordered the Ninth Shade Faction to assassinate me. I want to seek an explanation for this."
"Wang Zhong!" As soon as he said this, Aikesi's expression immediately turned livid. "You say that the Blood Demon Race ordered the Ninth Shade Faction to assassinate you? Do you have any evidence? You have killed several members of the Blood Demon Race. For the sake of the overall situation in the Heavenly Gates, our race has tolerated it. Don't push your luck! "
"The people I killed were all people who deserved to die. It was reasonable and legal. How could your Blood Demon Race tolerate it?" Wang Zhong said with contempt, "As for evidence of assassinating me, I don't have any, and I don't need any."
"Oh?" Aixen was so angry that he almost laughed. What can you do without evidence?
"I want to challenge the Blood Demon Race," said Wang Zhong calmly. "I want to officially apply to the Heavenly Gates for a Blood Sacrifice Battle! I will use the blood of the Blood Demon Race to wash away the anger in my heart! "
Blood Sacrifice War! Just like the Life and Death Arena in the Heavenly Gates, some people felt that they had been treated unfairly and were willing to fight to the death, using battle and blood to uphold justice.
However, on a larger scale, it was not a request to a single person, but to an entire civilization!
Everyone had the right to apply for the Blood Sacrifice Battle, as long as they had the guts. This was because the opposing civilization could send any expert they wanted, and they could send at least three people! They could be the three most ordinary and weakest clansmen, or they could be the three strongest Jindan!
No one else had such a rule. As a result, the Blood Sacrifice Battle had not appeared in the Star Alliance for a long time.
After all, to high-leveled civilizations, they had countless Gold Core experts. Who dared to say that they could fight against the three strongest people in a high-leveled civilization by themselves? To low-leveled civilizations, when faced with experts whose strength was obviously not equal to theirs, they would basically choose to send three unimportant people to their deaths to appease the other party's anger. It was just that this would be very embarrassing.
"If you admit defeat, then send three unimportant people to their deaths," said Wang Zhong coldly. "Let the entire Star Alliance see how the Blood Demon Race bullies the weak and fears the strong!"
"Little fellow, don't be too arrogant!" Aixen roared angrily.
The Blood Demon Race had a fiery temper, let alone a dignified Gold Core like him. In front of so many higher-ups in the Heavenly Gates, he was being humiliated by a junior!
"I wanted to leave a path of survival for your Earth, but since you want to seek death, I won't stop you!" He had shed all pretense of cordiality. He turned to look at Superintendent Erza, then cupped his fists at the many elders around him. "Superintendent! Fellow colleagues! It's not that the Blood Demon Race is bullying the weak, but this child has gone too far. This cannot be tolerated! "
"Then there's no need for a blood sacrifice battle!" In the end, he stared fiercely at Wang Zhong. "Since you are so confident, the Blood Demon Race will give your Earth a fair chance. Let's have a Civilization War! How about it? "
Everyone in the hall could not help but be moved.
The Civilization War was a step up in terms of strength.
The war between two civilizations did not necessarily have to be decided on the battlefield. For a level-7 civilization, top-notch combat power was the true embodiment of the entire civilization's strength. Whoever had more Gold Cores and stronger Gold Cores would have the last laugh.
Thus, in order to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, a high-end Civilization War in the arena was enough for a truly powerful civilization to decide the outcome. They would send the nine strongest people in the entire civilization to fight. It did not matter whether it was a one-on-one battle or a chaotic battle. Whoever won such a Civilization War would be able to own everything the other party had! They would make the other party's entire civilization the slave of the victor, including all the accumulation, wealth, resources, and so on of the other party's civilization!
"A level-7 civilization initiating a Civilization War against a level-4 civilization. Ha ha ha ha!" Supervisor Tsargesimon laughed out loud. "Aixen, you're really shameless?"
The Titan Race's stance during the entire process was slightly biased towards the Earth. Now, Tsargesimon had decided to stand on the side of his favorite disciple. He was slightly worried that Wang Zhong did not understand the seriousness of a Civilization War.
"The Earth is not a level-4 civilization." Elder Miehill, who had not expressed his position, finally calmly said, "Didn't we just pass the proposal of a level-6 civilization?"
"Is it normal for a level-7 civilization to fight a level-6 civilization?" Tsargesimon said in a clear voice, "Come, come, come. Aixen, if you have a temper, come and play with the Titan Race!"
Tsargesimon was a famous troublemaker and would speak without thinking. The Blood Demon Race could not be bothered with him, but they were slightly surprised by Wang Zhong's power.
"Supervisor Tsargesimon, please don't interrupt. This is a matter between the Earth and the Blood Demon Race." Elder Miehill smiled and said, "It has been a long time since a Civilization War has occurred in the Star Alliance. It just so happens that Chief Judge Lyon and Arbitrator Wiggins are here. I will have to trouble the two of you to handle this matter fairly and fairly."
A Civilization War was not a matter of personal grievances and could not be casually started.
High-leveled civilizations could not casually start a Civilization War against low-leveled civilizations. While the Star Alliance protected the interests of the higher-leveled civilizations, it would also give low-leveled civilizations some space to survive. If high-leveled civilizations could casually start a Civilization War against low-leveled civilizations, it would not have been so troublesome for the Blood Demon Race to annex the Ocean Empire Planet back then. To put it bluntly, the laws of the Star Alliance would give some individuals from high-leveled civilizations space to take advantage of, but in the overall environment, a superficial balance had to be maintained. If not, who would join the Star Alliance? The Star Alliance would have fallen apart long ago.
However, if a series of complicated conditions could be met, such as this time, where Wang Zhong had seriously 'slandered' and 'affected' the dignity of the Blood Demon Race, or if the conflict between the two parties was irreconcilable, then the conditions for a Civilization War could be met.
Under such circumstances, the Blood Demon Race had the right to propose a Civilization War, and the Earth did not have the right to directly refuse. They could only hand this matter over to the Machinery Race and let the Machinery Race judge the reasonableness and legality of a Civilization War.
To be honest, everyone in the Star Alliance knew that the Machinery Race was on Wang Zhong's side. Saying that the Machinery Race was impartial and impartial was because they were at the bottom of the Star Alliance. When one reached the level of the elders present, they understood the morality of the Machinery Race too well. It was very difficult to form a friendship with this race, but if one really did, they would not suffer any losses.
Aixen had been riled up in a moment of anger, but he had also retreated in order to advance. If not, if Wang Zhong had really started a Blood Sacrifice War, the Blood Demon Race would not have allowed their ancestor-level figures to fight three against one to kill a Solid Core. Which ancestor-level figure would not have some pride?
If they bullied a Solid Core, and three against one at that, the ancestor-level figures would not have the face to take action. Even if they won, they would still lose. After all, there was still a huge difference between the level of the Earth and the Blood Demon Race, and the Blood Demon Race still had to survive. It was fine to send three Gold Cores who were not famous, but Wang Zhong had dared to so confidently initiate a Blood Sacrifice War. If he casually sent three Gold Cores, they might really fail miserably.
To put it bluntly, the Blood Demon Race was also having a headache. They had been forced by Wang Zhong and were in a difficult position. If they won, the disadvantages would outweigh the advantages, let alone if they lost. However, the current situation was equivalent to solving the problem in disguise. If they did not agree, they would be afraid of the Blood Demon Race. If they agreed, it would be an auspicious sign from the heavens.
Aixen's expression was gloomy, but there was some anticipation in his eyes.
Everyone in the hall immediately looked at Chief Judge Lyon and Arbitrator Wiggins. There were layers of checks and balances in the power hierarchy of the Star Alliance. This matter could be said to be an internal conflict in the Heavenly Gates. After all, the Earth and the Blood Demon Race were both factions in the Heavenly Gates, but once a Civilization War was started, the judgment would not be in the hands of the Heavenly Gates. Instead, it would be decided by the Machinery Race, and even the Heavenly Shell Race could only listen.
Chief Judge Lyon and Arbitrator Wiggins whispered to each other. After discussing for seven to eight minutes, Chief Judge Lyon stood up. "This matter involves a level-7 civilization and a rapidly rising civilization. Both sides are pillars of the Star Alliance. Once a Civilization War starts, the implications will be huge, and we cannot be rash. We need to collect some information to make a judgment. The results will be announced in three days! "
The Machinery Race did not directly reject the Blood Demon Race's request? The hall was silent at first, but then there were all kinds of strange gazes.
A trace of astonishment flashed in Aixen's eyes, but then he was wild with joy. The difference in strength between the Earth and the Blood Demon Race was obvious. The Machinery Race had never been good at putting on a show. If they really wanted to be biased, they could directly reject the request on the grounds that the difference in strength between the two races was too large. They had the right to do so. However, since they did not announce it in public, it meant that the Machinery Race would at least stand on the side of enforcing the law impartially and do business. What did it mean to do business? Of course, it meant to count and adopt the opinions of the various races in the Star Alliance!
Thinking about it, most of the various races in the Star Alliance would not choose to offend the Earth on the surface. After all, on one hand, the Earth belonged to the Heavenly Shell Race. Even if they did not give face to the Heavenly Shell Race, they still had to give face to the Heavenly Shell Race. Furthermore, the potential of the Earth was indeed very high. Who dared to say that they would definitely not have a chance to soar into the sky in the future? No race would make enemies for themselves for no reason. However, if there was a chance to secretly push the Earth to the edge of the cliff, nine out of ten civilizations would not hesitate to do so! After all, no one would wish for a powerful race to suddenly appear and divide everyone's benefits.
Superintendent Erza was also surprised. Before Wang Zhong had arrived, she, Chief Judge Lyon, and Arbitrator Wiggins had already talked a lot about the Earth. It could be seen that the Machinery Race was absolutely supportive of Wang Zhong and the Earth, but at that moment, they actually had such an attitude. However, the Chief Judge and the Arbitrator were the absolute authorities of the Machinery Race and the absolute controllers of the entire Star Alliance's legal system. Since they had spoken, there was absolutely no possibility of them retracting their orders.
"Then let's wait for the results in three days!" Said Wang Zhong calmly. There did not seem to be any panic on his face, but many people in the hall cast sidelong glances at him.
Originally, everyone had come to divide and punish the Earth, but unknowingly, the original matter was no longer important. The Earthling in front of them seemed to have grasped all the rhythm in his hands. Where did his confidence come from?
That Netherworld King?
Not to mention that he was a Netherworld consciousness that had been born, even if he had been raised, so what?
If a weak physical body was far away from the underground world, wouldn't it just be an ordinary Gold Core?
Naive Earthlings! The eternal Blood Demon Race had countless ways to deal with the Netherworld aura.
… …
Questionnaires were sent to the mailboxes of many higher-ups in the Star Alliance.
"The Earth civilization? The Blood Demon Race? Although this has nothing to do with the Kaman Race, if any of these powerful civilizations dies, there will be one less. Why can't we divide the cake of the Star Alliance? "
"The Blood Demon Race? Starting a Civilization War with a level-4 civilization? Hmph, this dog is bullying us again … It doesn't matter. Let them have some fun. It's better than finding trouble with our race. "
"The Earth civilization has risen very quickly, but if they want to start a Civilization War with the Blood Demon Race, they are too arrogant … However, it's interesting. There's no harm in watching the fun."
"It's already rare for the Blood Demon Race to apply for a Civilization War, regardless of whether their strength is equal or not. They have only joined the Star Alliance for a few short years. The Earth has risen too quickly. I heard that they are currently staying at the Heavenly Treasures Street in the Catanlyke District, which is not far from the Flekmi District. Since that place has become the foundation of the Earth, when they really rise in the future, their territory in the inner circle will definitely be near the Flekmi District. Perhaps they will become a threat to the Three-Eyed Race. " A higher-up from the Three-Eyed Race smiled and ticked off the questionnaire. "Anyway, this is an anonymous investigation. It's better for this kind of potential civilization that can threaten the Three-Eyed Race to fall as soon as possible!"
"Isn't the Machinery Race on good terms with the Earthlings? They are actually prepared to accept the opinions of all parties in a businesslike manner? What do you mean? " A short and small figure covered in green light floated in front of the questionnaire. The questionnaire was the size of a normal human book, but it was two to three times larger than the entire body of this green figure. She used her psychic power to hover in the air and look at it. At that moment, she furrowed her eyebrows and muttered to herself, "Putting on a show? Putting on a show? The Machinery Race doesn't seem like people who would do such things … I don't understand. It's better for our race to give up the right to make suggestions. At the very least, we won't offend either side. "
… Blood Demon City.
In the Land, areas that could be called cities were definitely dominated by one power, such as the Machinery Race, the Heavenly Shell City, the Fire Demon City, and so on.
This was the base camp of the Blood Demon Race, located in the Heavenly River node area numbered TH019. Just from the number of this Heavenly River area, one could see the power of the Blood Demon Race in the Star Alliance. Even if the few level-8 civilizations at the top were included, the strength of the Blood Demon Race was enough to rank in the top 20 in the Star Alliance. There were not many level-7 civilizations that could suppress them. The Titan Race, the Heavenly Wolf Race, and other civilizations that were ranked above the Blood Demon Race were recognized as powerful.
As one of the central cities in the Land, the Blood Demon City had always been famous for its prosperity. Recently, there were rumors that a Civilization War was about to begin, and the Blood Demon City seemed even more lively. Although the opponent was just a mere level-4 civilization, the Civilization War itself was a grand event that countless people in the entire Star Alliance were watching. Furthermore, although the Earth was a weak opponent, there were many topics of discussion. Wang Zhong from the Heavenly Gates, the Netherworld King from the underground world, and even the fact that a Solid Core Blood Demon had been killed by the Earth not long ago because of a rash invasion.
The grievances between the two races had been around for a long time, and the higher-ups and the common people were constantly talking about it. The people below might not know the special characteristics and value of the Earth, but they had been continuously defeated by a small level-4 civilization. Everyone in the Blood Demon Race felt ashamed. Now, the shouts for war were extremely loud. The city was even decorated with lanterns and banners, and large slogans were displayed, asking the Machinery Race to make a fair judgment and let the Blood Demon Race defend their own dignity. The city was extremely lively.
"Ancestor."
In the deep palace hall of the ancient castle, Elder Aikesi was standing respectfully. In front of him sat a towering figure on the throne. Although he also had a humanoid shape and two horns, the feeling he gave off was completely different from ordinary Blood Demons. Not only was his figure huge, standing at least three meters tall, but his body was also filled with monstrous spiritual influence. Even an almighty Gold Core like Elder Aikesi felt an invisible pressure when he stood in front of him. He did not even dare to breathe loudly.
This was the ancestor of the Blood Demon Race. He had lived for countless eras. Although he had never been able to break through the shackles of the Gold Core Realm and had lost the potential and opportunity to break through due to his old age, he had been able to move unhindered in the Land for countless years. Furthermore, he was able to lead the Blood Demon Race to the top of the level-7 civilizations. The strength of the Blood Demon Ancestor was definitely not what an ordinary Gold Core could imagine. If one said that he was one of the strongest king-level Gold Cores in the Land, no one would doubt it.
"How are the reactions of the various parties?" The voice of the Blood Demon Ancestor was filled with supreme dignity.
"The responses of the various parties should be in favor of passing the questionnaire that the Machinery Race created. There have been some exchanges in their small circles. Occasionally, there are a few timid people who are afraid of trouble, but they have only given up their right to make suggestions," Aixen said respectfully, but his tone was relaxed. The Xiangxiang Ancestor would definitely be overjoyed when he heard such good news. "Now, it all depends on the attitude of the Machinery Race. If this is really official business, they definitely have no reason to reject this battle. If not, if they go against the will of the masses and forcefully reject this matter at the last moment, then the Machinery Race's painstaking efforts to investigate the will of the masses will be a joke."
"How is the investigation of how Wang Zhong entered the Heavenly Gates?"
"It has been confirmed that the Earthling Wang Zhong was indeed recommended by the Machinery Race to enter the Heavenly Gates. It is true that the Machinery Race has a special relationship with Wang Zhong. I suspect that Wang Zhong might have entered the Machinery Hivemind's test."
"Machinery Hivemind? I see. " The Blood Demon Ancestor smiled. "Every era, there will always be a few people who enter their observation list, but there are very few who succeed. There might not even be one in a few eras. Furthermore, it is not enough for the Machinery Race to maintain the observation list to such an extent. If this is the case, it can explain the actions of the Machinery Race. "
