Xiao Ran had no interest in the Federation. This was half true and half false. He did not want the Federation's territory, nor did he want the large population of the Federation. He did not want to take over all the rights of the Federation as a nominal or actual ruler. All he wanted was the heritage of the Federation over the years, the power to command the Federation to do things, and the messy good stuff that was located in the Federation's territory.
But the Federation could only be a Federation. It could be a new Federation, or the current Federation, but it definitely could not be a Federation that belonged to Xiao Ran. At most, it could only be a Federation that Xiao Ran could order around. Even if Xiao Ran took over the military power that originally belonged to the Federation, he would certainly ensure the independence of the Federation and establish an unequal cooperative relationship between the two sides.
It was the same on DC's side. Xiao Ran could even accept DC completely swallowing the entire Federation and becoming the actual ruler of Earth. In fact, Xiao Ran was also willing to provide more help in the process of DC swallowing the Federation, as long as Bihan was willing to pay a sufficient price.
For example, the military power that Xiao Ran needed, the technology that he needed, and the independent but subordinate forces that were willing to become Xiao Ran's satellite unification. Generally speaking, all Xiao Ran wanted was the full support of the entire Earth. As long as someone was willing to become the ruler of Earth, it was fine. He did not care about anything else.
However, in terms of territory or territory, he would definitely not expand it endlessly. He would only limit it to the current satellite integration, as well as the only city and its affiliated territories on Earth. As for the other territories, as long as there were people living in them, including cities, villages, and other complicated structures, he would not accept them even if they were given to him.
All of this was in preparation for the future unification of the satellites into his faction territory. This was because this OG world was too special. It was so special that it was connected to the Reality Faction, the Super Faction, and the Fantasy Faction. There were also different parallel worlds. This was a situation that Xiao Ran had never encountered before in his previous missions. It was a proper high-level world.
Therefore, Xiao Ran had to be very cautious and ensure that the satellite unification could be made into his own camp territory. With the current satellite unification situation, it was enough to support the basic requirements of becoming a camp territory. The population was enough, the area was enough, and the other territorial requirements had been met. The rest was up to Xiao Ran.
Therefore, Xiao Ran only wanted to maintain the current situation. He wanted to develop the satellite unification properly and buy people's hearts and so on. Otherwise, the more people and the larger the area, the more obstacles it would bring to the future of the satellite unification into his territory. This small piece of land was enough for him to work on. Why would he still need the Federation and DC's territory?
Bihan did not know Xiao Ran's purpose. Naturally, he felt that Xiao Ran was very strange. In fact, he already had the strength to become the only one, but he had to create more complicated things for himself. He was unwilling to accept the Federation's territory no matter what and insisted on guarding the satellite unification. He did not understand why, but at least Bihan could hear Xiao Ran's persistence from his words. He also felt that Xiao Ran did not have the intention of occupying Earth.
After a moment of silence, Bihan also felt that he was a little speechless. Then, he said in a muffled voice, "Then what you want is only military power."
Xiao Ran nodded. "Yes. Only by gathering all the power of the entire Earth can it be possible to survive one threat after another. Earth has already become a land of destiny. Our return and the appearance of the Void Emissaries are all the arrangements of fate. There will be more threats shrouding Earth in the future. Although the Federation is on the verge of collapse, it is impossible to form a true fighting force without a unified command. How can we resist the increasing threats?"
Bihan's expression darkened. "Including DC?"
Xiao Ran nodded again. "Including DC."
Xiao Ran's answer was to tell Bihan that all forces on Earth, be it the Federation, DC, or the satellite unification, must become a collective and accept a unified command. Naturally, this command could not be the Federation, which was already too busy to fend for itself, nor could it be DC, which also had a powerful force on Earth. It could only be Xiao Ran, who proposed this point.
Because of Xiao Ran's participation, the plot of this world had completely changed. Bihan, who should have died, did not die, and DC did not completely fail. However, for the Federation, the entire world had become divided into three parts. The headquarters had been crippled and many important people had died. The current situation was precarious, and although they still had control of the Federation's military deployment, DC and the satellite unification were eyeing covetously from the sidelines.
It was not like the original plot, where DC was eliminated and there were no other forces watching from the sidelines. The remnants of DC did not seize this opportunity and instead buried themselves in development, allowing the Federation to work together to get rid of the Void Messenger. Although they also suffered great losses afterward, they were still able to develop without internal and external troubles, elected a new president, and established a new government of the Federation.
But now, Xiao Ran would not give the Federation this opportunity. He was the first to be eliminated and confirmed the position of his underlings. As for DC, Bihan also admitted that it was impossible for them to defeat Xiao Ran's fleet. Perhaps there were some people in DC who could bring big trouble to Xiao Ran, such as Bai Hechou, or himself. But the final result would be that Xiao Ran would suffer some losses, but DC would still be wiped out.
This would instead set off a war between DC and the satellites, once again throwing unnecessary consumption into internal strife. This was also something that Bihan did not want to see, especially when the real mastermind behind the invasion of Earth had not yet appeared.
After a moment of silence, Bihan shook his head and said, "I can't understand your thoughts. Since you don't want to be the leader who leads Earth, but you want to control all the military power and take over the responsibility of protecting Earth, it's really hard to understand your true thoughts. With your current strength, you are fully capable of suppressing Earth. If you're only using this method to take over safely in the future, it seems a little superfluous."
"I'm only responsible for fighting and protecting." Xiao Ran glanced at Bihan and said in a deep voice, "This is what I'm good at, but it's not what you're good at. DC can also swallow the Federation, but you also need to determine your own position. What I need is to gather enough power to protect Earth, not drag down Earth's territories and endless political affairs."
"Although I have my own research and development institute, since I've chosen to protect Earth, it is inevitable that I can't leave Earth's support. I hope to have Earth's support for technical materials, personnel, and supplies. In the end, I can't rely on the current power to face all kinds of threats alone. I still need to unite the entire Earth to be able to achieve this."
