This matter is actually just the situation that has surfaced.
There is nothing else.
Other families know Bai Yang doesn’t lie or talk nonsense.
“We didn’t expect it to be so simple, however, summoning a True Saint must have a price, right?”
As soon as these words came out, all the family representatives present held their breath and focused their attention.
They knew that there were no such things as free lunches falling from the sky.
Bai Yang nodded and said,
“Of course, the condition is very simple, the Tianhe Federation submits and accepts the domination of Source Star.”
Just one sentence actually represented a lot.
Benefits!
The immense benefits of ruling a world would be concentrated in the hands of one power.
The members present all eyed this with envy!
“Is there no room for negotiation?”
Someone was not willing to give up.
“The crisis has been resolved, and we can now develop in peace, of course, not to say that we do not follow the True Saint’s order, only is it possible for us to continue to lead the Tianhe Federation.”
Bai Yang merely smiled and said nothing more, but the look in his eyes towards this person was as if he was looking at a fool.
Maintaining one’s own rule, in plain terms, nothing changes.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
“The True Saint has already made it clear to us that the Lifeless Sect must cooperate with Source Star over there so that Source Star can accept the Tianhe Federation. I advise you all to drop all your various schemes; if you don’t mess around, you might be able to maintain the glory of your families.”
He only said this one sentence and then did not say anything more.
Good advice is hard to persuade the damned.
If you bring death upon yourself and are caught, you can’t blame anyone else.
The council meeting soon ended, and all the families of the Federation started considering their own way out.
A month later, Huangtian sent people over.
The Lifeless Sect welcomed them, and the reception began.
Of course, this was not the most important thing; the important thing was the ceremony.
The subjugation ceremony was necessary, since control was to be taken, it must be taken completely and thoroughly.
The upper echelons of the Federation did not expect such a development, but now, there was no possibility of opposition.
Soon, the citizens of the Federation received notifications that they needed to cooperate.
Public opinion exploded once again.
“A subjugation ceremony, what the hell is this, are they making us slaves?”
“It’s the fleet that arrived not long ago that we become subordinate to Source Star, right!”
“It must be the world of the Lifeless True Saint…”
“Forget it, the council has compromised, what can we do.”
“Aligning with a strong power might not necessarily be a bad thing, think about it, if another powerful Evil God appears, at least we won’t be powerless to resist.”
“No, absolutely not…”
Regardless of what was said on the Sky Network.
Three months later, the subjugation ceremony still began without any public dissent.
Empty talk is just that, empty talk.
People wanted to incite others to resist, but not everyone is foolish enough to risk their lives on such things.
In the end, the subjugation ceremony went on smoothly.
As for the resistors, Datong didn’t care at all.
They had taken control of all of the Tianhe Federation’s secrets, including the Galaxy-class Battleships.
Their status was now stable, and no problems would arise.
Next up was the digestion of the Tianhe Federation’s heritage.
Especially in the scientific community.
The energy technology of the Tianhe Federation was extremely advanced, able to create Galaxy-class Battleships, so naturally, the other standards were not low either.
Datong was a world that equally valued cultivation and technology.
Therefore, the technology of the Tianhe Federation was a true treasure trove for them.
Especially for Li Xueqian.
“These data, are incredible, if fully researched, they could advance Datong’s energy science by at least several decades.”
“The Cross-border Ship can be altered again… Combining the Cross-border Ship with the Galaxy-class Battleship, it will be even more powerful. In certain scenarios, it is genuinely equivalent to the Eighth Realm.”
Countless data put the Datong Science Academy into a frenzy.
In addition to that, another group was ecstatic.
That was the researchers of the Tianhe Federation.
They thought that being ruled by an unknown world meant a dead end, but in reality, Datong also valued technology and gave them considerable treatment, even promising that research funding would not be cut off.
Of course, Datong would also carry out checks and the unworthy would naturally be purged.
For many researchers, this was enough.
Their status unchanged and with continued funding, what more would they need?
Not just the researchers, as Datong rolled out policy after policy, many people in the Tianhe Federation found that their lives had not changed much, and may even have improved, consequently, resistance gradually faded.
For many ordinary people, a stable life with comfortable living was enough.
And Datong, due to a large number of Cultivators being involved in production, had excellent welfare.
For those just getting by or waiting to die, it was practically heaven.
Especially after the Virtual World opened in the Tianhe Federation.
“Life like this, I gotta say, it’s pretty good, I suddenly feel a lot more relaxed…”
“The Virtual World is really nice.”
“Have you all forgotten the glory of being a citizen of the Federation?”
…
The citizens of the Tianhe Federation were accustomed to the network and used it extensively.
Various emotions appeared on the Virtual World network.
And there were many hot topics lately.
The Virtual World had only just opened in the Tianhe Federation, and it was already gathering a vast amount of scattered spiritual power and Life Essence Qi.
Sixty billion citizens of the Federation were not just a fictitious number.
If not for the stable growth and population increase of the four worlds under Datong’s rule, just the Federation alone would exceed half the population of Datong’s four worlds.
Wang Sheng calculated the amount of scattered spiritual power and Life Essence Qi:
“Refining God and Returning to Void has reached fifty percent completion… with the addition of the Tianhe Federation’s world, it should be enough to reach ninety percent.”
