Boom!
There was an uproar.
There was an uproar on the various social media platforms of the Protoss society.
"Who did it? Who is the murderer?"
"Millions of God Race's people were killed just like that. Who else could it be other than the enemy of our God Race to kill the innocent?"
"Humans, it must be those despicable humans who did it! Damn it! "
"Judging from the effect of the attack at the scene, it seems that before the advent of the era, those humans used advanced technology to create a weapon called 'nuclear weapon.' That huge mushroom cloud and the spreading shock wave … only nuclear weapons can cause such an effect."
"Impossible! The nuclear weapons in the hands of humans are no longer usable under the erosion of celestial power. How could such a weapon appear? If that's the case, as long as humans fire tens of thousands of such nuclear bombs, with the power to kill even the masters of the Shenguang Order, the Protoss will definitely be driven out of Earth by the humans. "
"Who did the Jinwu clan offend? How did they provoke such revenge? "
"It's over, the Jinwu clan is finished. Almost all the masters, elders, and elite disciples have fallen. More than 70% of their masters have been killed. Millions of their people have been annihilated. The rest are all scared out of their wits and have fled in all directions. The Jinwu clan, which has been strong for tens of thousands of years and has countless resources, is not only seriously weakened, but there is even a possibility that it will be removed from the top families."
"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty. The Protoss have always respected the strong. The Jinwu clan has lost so many masters and has lost the qualification to be the top family. The title of the top family will automatically fall to other families, and the new family ranking will change."
"The Jinwu clan is finished."
…
The human media and public opinion.
While there was a lot of surprise, there were also many voices of excitement and joy … a little gloating.
"Hahahaha, good to die, good to die."
"The Jinwu clan deserves to end up like this. This clan is extremely ferocious. I don't know how many evil acts of killing and humiliating humans they have committed. This is retribution."
"Only a million casualties? That's too little. A few years ago, more than a billion humans on Earth were slaughtered. Compared to the wounds of our human race, that loss is not even painful. It's just insignificant interest. "
"Nuclear weapon! The one that attacked the Jinwu Clan is undoubtedly a nuclear weapon that has been ineffective for many years. Experts estimate that its yield is about one million tons. How could there be another one? The scientific community has long announced that the heavily polluted universe no longer has the possibility of producing nuclear weapons. What exactly is going on? "
"Trump card. That used to be the trump card of humanity. With nuclear weapons in hand, even the Protoss would not dare to act rashly. Later, the plan of the universe changed, and we lost the important nuclear deterrent. Hence, we lost peace and our homeland."
"Anything else? Do the mysterious resistance forces still have that kind of nuclear weapon? Make more, or share the technology, and end the arrogance of the Protoss! "
"In the last three Clash of the Humans and the Gods, we humans have tasted three humiliating defeats in a row and lost countless interests. However, if nuclear deterrence is restored, humans will be on equal footing. We can even take back Earth that belongs to us."
"Do a good job, mysterious resistance force. We can't let the Protoss look down on us humans anymore!"
"…"
There were many cheers.
…
The third day.
In the villa.
"Grandpa, did you … send people to do that?"
Chen Junfeng was nervous and sweating, but his eyes were also full of expectation as he looked at Chen Jin in front of him.
"Why do you ask?" Chen Jin looked at him faintly.
"Today, many Protoss investigators came to visit and asked some questions. They even raised suspicions that the attack on the Jinwu Clan the day before yesterday was the work of the Chen family. Our Chen family is a huge suspect."
Chen Junfeng explained, very worried. "Grandpa, those investigators were aggressive. Not only did they ask for a detailed investigation of each factory, but they even insisted that the Chen family was the one who did it. They wanted to take the Chen family down for questioning."
"Deny it, deny it flatly." Chen Jin said, "The Chen family did not participate in it, let alone know about it. If they want to oppress the Chen family and frame us, we will never agree to it! If they insist on oppressing the Chen family with force, we will not sit still and wait for death. At most, we will destroy indiscriminately. "
In short, they had to deny it with all their might.
"I understand."
Chen Junfeng raised his head, his eyes full of vigor. "Presumably, this is the trump card that you mentioned, Grandpa? With such a trump card in hand, it should not be too much of a problem for our Chen family to stand tall on Earth and not perish. Grandpa, now I have more confidence. "
It turned out that even on Earth, where the Protoss were extremely powerful, the Chen family still retained the strength to overturn the table.
Good, it was really good.
"Don't say anymore. The more you talk, the more mistakes you make."
Chen Jin frowned and glared at him. "The Protoss are still investigating the Chen family. No matter how they ask, just maintain an attitude of 'you don't know anything'. If you think too much, you will be caught."
From the beginning, Chen Jin knew that the risk was great. The Chen family would definitely be investigated.
And the only way that the Protoss investigators could not find any problems was for him to complete the plan to attack the Jinwu Clan alone. No one in the Chen family knew anything about it, so naturally, they would not see any problems.
Therefore, Chen Jin's style was: the fewer people who knew or carried out the plan, the higher the degree of secrecy.
"I know, I won't ask anymore, Grandpa."
Chen Junfeng nodded and blinked. Everything was said without saying anything.
…
In the next few months.
It was about the heavy blow that the Jinwu Clan had suffered.
The higher-ups of the Protoss sent out a lot of forces and used a lot of means, but they did not find anything.
There was no news of the mysterious assailant. It was difficult to lock down who did it.
The main suspect was the Chen family. But they sent out a large number of people to conduct three key searches, interrogated them many times, and even used soul-searching techniques to secretly control a high-level member of the Chen family. They searched through the memory fragments, but they did not find any obvious suspicious signs.
The Chen family could basically be ruled out as a suspect.
So the investigation team withdrew most of the investigators, leaving only a few elites to lurk around the Chen family … Intuition told a certain high-level Protoss that there must be something wrong with the Chen family.
Even if they were not exposed now, they would be exposed in the future. They must be kept a close eye on them at all times.
In addition, as expected, after the Jinwu Clan suffered a devastating blow, a large number of interests became vacant, triggering a frenzied scramble among the weaker clans such as Tonghuang and Mugu.
The rules of the scramble were very simple and crude. Both sides would send out powerful practitioners to kill each other, using corresponding strength to obtain commensurate benefits.
But the heritage and accumulation of the Jinwu clan was still very terrifying. It surprised the lower-ranked clans, and the frenzied scramble became more intense.
More than two months later, the interests of the Jinwu clan were divided among the major clans. Among them, the Tonghuang clan swallowed 25% of the interests, and the Mugu clan swallowed 20%. But correspondingly, the two clans who had the biggest slice of the cake paid a relatively heavy price.
About 20% of their powerful practitioners were lost.
But in five to ten years, the two clans, Tonghuang and Mugu, were bound to rise as new super clans.
But at this time, the Chen family had become a huge variable.
They were even a weight that was enough to cause an imbalance.
As long as either of the Tonghuang or Mugu clans annexed the Chen family, they were bound to become the top clan in the future.
Two pairs of greedy eyes were fixed on the Chen family, and a dangerous plan was brewing in the ambition.
Feeling the aura of greed, the Chen family once again chose to take the initiative to attack.
Of course, this time it was not a nuclear strike … The high-level Protoss had sent masters to block the sea, so it would be difficult to carry out another attack.
Chen Yanfei, a well-spoken disciple of the Chen family, visited the high-level members of the Tonghuang and Mugu clans one after another, and explained the Chen family's attitude:
"The Chen family is willing to take out 60% of the profits, and the Tonghuang and Mugu clans will each get half in exchange for the protection of the Chen family."
"In addition, all kinds of advanced high-precision products will be given priority to the two clans at a preferential price and in unlimited quantities. They will prioritize serving the interests of the two clans."
"The benefits that the two clans will obtain from the Chen family are definitely more than the benefits that can be extracted after annexing the Chen family by force … If the Chen family is desperate enough to resist, they would rather destroy all the research and production facilities and turn them into a scorched land than let the enemy benefit!"
In this way, the value that could be obtained from the Chen family would change from 10 under the ideal scenario to 1 or 2, and at most, only 3.
Even if they were to be destroyed, they would not let others benefit … This would dispel the beautiful fantasies of the two clans.
What's more, the Chen family was not a sheep without the power to resist, but a hedgehog covered with spikes.
In particular, the Chen family's fortress could definitely be called "the strongest fortress on Earth."
No matter what force it was, if they wanted to take down the Chen family's fortress, they had to be prepared to suffer heavy losses.
Chen Yanfei introduced.
"The only thing that the Chen family fears is the practitioners of the Shenguang order or the Sage level. If more than ten practitioners of the Shenguang order are deployed, the Chen family is willing to offer everything and surrender."
"However, if there are less than ten masters of the Shenguang order, then the Chen family still has the power to fight."
This was because the Chen family's fortress had recently installed a huge defensive array. When it was fully activated, it could withstand the joint attack of ten practitioners of the Shenguang order!
In addition, the array would extract all the spiritual energy inside the fortress, forming a vacuum zone with thin spiritual energy. As long as a practitioner entered the area, it would be difficult to absorb spiritual energy from the air and enhance their ability to continue fighting.
In such an environment, even the strength of the practitioners of the Shenguang order would be greatly reduced.
In the Chen family's fortress, countless missiles, mecha, laser cannons, and other high-tech weapons were prepared. The number was dense, numbering in the thousands, and the firepower density was astonishing.
In addition, there were some more powerful celestial weapons.
Even if one or two practitioners of the Shenguang order broke into the array, there was a certain possibility that they would die.
The practitioners of the Shenguang order and below would directly enter the hell that belonged to them.
Chen Yanfei said resolutely, "We have used computers to simulate tens of thousands of times and have come to the conclusion that to break through the Chen family's fortress, we must pay the price of losing 40% of our powerful practitioners, or one or two immortals of the Shenguang order, in order to take down the Chen family! Are you willing to try? "
He also took out a video projector and played the simulated battle inside.
The risks were clearly presented to the two families.
Was there any use in this approach?
Of course there was.
And it was very obvious that it made the faces of the higher-ups of the Tonghuang and Mugu clans change for a long time. They gradually put down the idea of taking risks.
After all, the masters of the Shenguang order were extremely rare. In the Jinwu clan, there were at most five or six of them. In the Tonghuang clan, there were only three, and in the Mugu clan, there were only two.
The strongest high-end combat power could not be counted on one hand. Not only was it difficult for them to personally take action, but even if one of them died, it would be a heavy blow. If all of them died, the family would immediately drop a level and become an ordinary family.
Sending masters of the Shenguang order and below to attack the Chen family's fortress, in the face of so many densely packed weapons and a 40% casualty rate in exchange for a piece of low-value ruins, probably no one would do this.
In addition, the interests of the Jinwu clan had just been swallowed up. They needed time to digest and stabilize.
There was no need to be so anxious to slaughter a mere Chen family. They could be nurtured for a few more days.
In this way, the Chen family had won a period of precious time for development.
…
Haierfa.
Recently, a major event was also brewing in the universe here.
After the Sela civilization was conquered by the fleet led by Mu Yunhua, the two civilizations merged into one and became a very huge force.
They ruled more than 1,000 star systems.
The population of the ruling class plus the slave population exceeded more than 500 billion.
They had more than 10,000 powerful warships, massive resources, and rapid development of technology.
It was believed that it would not be long before they became a rather important role in the Milky Way.
But … Chen Jin discovered that this new type of power had a more fatal flaw.
"The institutions of the upper ruling class are loose, and the overall cohesion is average. It exudes a free and beautiful atmosphere, but its centripetal force and sense of honor are not very strong. Although it is united at present, it is also a collective response under the crisis of survival. Now that the crisis has been resolved and the war is boundless, the political institutions seem to still use the primitive voting system. The majority votes are used to decide whether a bill is passed or not. In fact, it has bought a huge hidden danger of party strife.
"The power is very scattered, and the authority of the leader is insufficient.
"If this continues, the All-Stars Federation in your hands will fall into a crisis in another 50 years at most. It will even become a stage for all kinds of ambitious and conspirators. There will not be a moment of peace."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunhua's expression turned bitter.
She said helplessly, "It is easy to fight for power, but difficult to sit on it. Since you said so, it should be a very likely event. Then tell me … what should I do?"
In fact, she did not want to do anything else now. Since she had already avenged her great hatred, she might as well abdicate in time, do something she liked, and live a relaxed and idle life.
Being a politician had never been her original intention.
"Yun, maybe … your All-Stars Federation needs a virtuous and respectable queen to lead it forward."
Chen Jin said lightly.
