Chapter 621 What are you?
The Supreme Ruler of the Leo Civilization began scolding Hilac so fiercely that he was left completely bewildered.
As a pillar family of the Leo Civilization, the Supreme Ruler had always treated Hilac with respect, and this was the first time Hilac had seen such anger from him.
"Supreme Ruler, what exactly happened?" Hilac knew well that in the Leo Civilization, at most, he was just a Feudal Official, while the Supreme Ruler was the true master of this civilization. Whether in terms of personal strength or the power he held, they were incomparable, and he always maintained a heart of reverence for the Supreme Ruler.
"You still have the face to ask me what happened up till now?" Nazi struggled to control his emotions.
The defeat in the war was already a foregone conclusion that couldn't be changed. What he was worried about now was whether Hilac had offended this fourth-level civilization, and if the other side would continue to press them. If this couldn't appease them, the Leo Civilization might continue to suffer.
"Our civilization was defeated in the war for that Cosmic Crystal Vein Ore."
"What?" Hilac was shocked. "Didn't this war just last for two hundred years? Not long ago, I was in contact with General Ares, and he told me that the recent battle situation was very good, to the point where even the Begla Civilization's army had retreated on the defensive. How is this possible?"
"Retreat on the defensive?" Nazi sneered. "They were gathering their forces. The Begla Civilization directly brought a fleet from a fourth-level civilization to sweep our troops. Our forces on the front lines were completely annihilated, and our Leo Civilization lost half of our military strength!"
"How could this happen?" Hilac's expression froze.
Generally, fourth-level civilizations wouldn't get involved in wars of lower-level civilizations. It was almost like two kids fighting, and under normal circumstances, how could an adult get involved in the fight between two kids?
"You really don't know?" Seeing Hilac's bewildered expression, Nazi seemed to feel that this wasn't an act. "If it weren't for the trouble you caused, why would the other side send me a message to ask you who exactly you've offended?"
"I've offended someone?" Hilac was even more depressed. He had been guarding the dojo most of the time, so how could he have offended anyone?
"Do you know where this fourth-level civilization's fleet is from?"
"I've already investigated. It's the fleet of the Haisa Civilization."
"Haisa Civilization?" Hilac looked aggrieved. "But I've never been in contact with anyone from the Haisa Civilization!"
"I don't care about that. I give you a month," Nazi said coldly. "You'd better figure out exactly who you've offended. If you can't resolve this matter, and it involves the entire Leo Civilization, my fleet will directly flatten your Joraike Dojo to quell the Haisa Civilization's fury."
...
"What exactly happened?" Hilac's expression was blank. He couldn't think of whom he had offended from the Haisa Civilization.
Not to mention this was a fourth-level civilization. It's not like he had the qualifications to offend or even come in contact with any important people from them.
But the other side actually sent out a fleet to assist the Begla Civilization, so this clearly wasn't something groundless.
"Teacher, what's going on?" Hilac's Direct Disciple, Sia, had coincidentally come to him with training-related questions.
"Sia, has anyone from our dojo offended someone recently?" After thinking for a long time without any result, Hilac wondered if a member of his dojo had provoked someone from the Haisa Civilization.
"They shouldn't have. Our dojo's students are generally well-behaved and focused on training, so they shouldn't have offended anyone," Sia said. "Teacher, what's this all about? Perhaps if you tell me, I might be able to give you some advice."
"Ah!" Hilac sighed, but Sia was his most promising student and the person he trusted the most. Perhaps he really could have some way, so Hilac narrated what had just happened with the Supreme Ruler.
As he listened, Sia's expression also turned solemn. Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes as if he had thought of something.
"What did you think of?" Hilac noticed the change in Sia's expression.
"Teacher, it may sound unbelievable, but this is the only possibility I can think of," Sia said. "Do you remember a few months ago when we talked about that civilization called Earth?"
"This... this can't be, right?" Hilac recalled that the ruler of Earth had said if he didn't want to meet him, then he'd bear the consequences himself. Could this be what he meant by consequences?
"No, it's absolutely impossible. How could the ruler of a first-level civilization command a fourth-level one? It must be a coincidence!" Hilac refused to believe such an absurd thing.
"But Teacher, apart from that, can you think of any other possibilities?"
"This..." Hilac was at a loss for words. Apart from this, he really couldn't think of anyone he had provoked during this period.
"Teacher, it's better to be safe than sorry in such matters. If it's indeed caused by Earth's ruler, we should remedy it as soon as possible," Sia said. "If you're still not quite sure, I'd be willing to go and test the waters first."
...
"Boom!" Two fingers like colossal pillars descended from the sky and plunged deeply into the training ground of the Super God Academy, causing a massive explosion and leaving a crater with a diameter of dozens of meters on the ground.
"Sigh, I've been practicing this 'Great Wilderness Prison Sky Finger' for so long, but I still can't fully execute the third finger," Fang Jueyu shook his head regretfully. "I was hoping to use Kato Taka's reputation to make a name for myself in the cosmic civilizations someday!"
"Hahaha, host, this finger technique is derived from a fifth-level martial art. Your Cosmic Source Power intensity is entirely sufficient; it's just that the quantity isn't enough yet. You'll likely have to wait until you reach the peak of Source Energy User to try for the third finger."
"By the way, how did the thing I assigned the Haisa Civilization go?"
"Oh, General Nix defeated the Leo Civilization's forces a few weeks ago, and he delivered the message you asked to be sent to them!"
"That was quite quick. I originally thought it would take at least a year or half-year, but they solved it in just a month," Fang Jueyu was a bit surprised.
"The Haisa Civilization's Supreme Ruler was quite attentive, fearing you might be concerned if it took too long, so they directly sent two standard fleets. It wasn't a war; it was entirely a one-sided slaughter," Xiao Yi continued. "I estimate it won't be long before someone from the Joraike Family comes looking for you."
"Oh, host, speak of the devil, your private email just received an invitation."
"Is it from the Clan Leader of the Joraike Family?"
"No, the Joraike Family runs a dojo, and the invitation was sent by the Clan Leader's Direct Disciple," Xiao Yi speculated. "The host, it seems like this old guy doesn't quite believe that you orchestrated this in secret and is trying to save face by sending someone to test you!"
"Oh, still putting on airs with me?" Fang Jueyu sneered. "What does he count for? How dare he think he's qualified to talk to me. You reply to him, tell him to scram, and let the Clan Leader of the Joraike Family come to beg me himself!"
"And let the Supreme Ruler of the Haisa Civilization know to send someone to have a meal at the house of the Supreme Ruler of the Leo Civilization to give him a scare!"
"Got it!" Xiao Yi laughed eagerly as if he couldn't wait for chaos to unfold. Fang Jueyu may usually be straightforward and honest, but when he turned bad, he really held nothing back.
If a Transcender were to show up, the Supreme Ruler of the Leo Civilization might be scared out of his wits, and the Joraike Family would really suffer for it then.
