Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Surrender, or Be Destroyed!
At this point in the conversation, Shen Hao had also begun to faintly perceive an issue with the state of his counterpart.
Far too calm.
The situation had even reached the point where they had to proactively come forward for talks, yet they still maintained this level of composure, which, even if emotions were still present, must be in a state of suppression and control.
This actually deepened Shen Hao’s understanding of the “Sovereign”.
Controlling emotions in the same way, the “Sovereign” was not merely about surface-level control that could be compared to. He could clearly feel the existence of his own emotions, which merely did not get interfered with.
However, the highest Controller of the Desert Tower Civilization, just like the lowest-level people, had lost the privilege to enjoy emotions?
That’s somewhat ironic.
“I am disappointed in your decision”, the Supreme Sage still hadn’t hung up the communication, and there wasn’t much sense of disappointment in his tone, he simply stated affirmatively, “But you cannot easily break through our space defense, even if the technological level of your spaceship has truly reached Level 20, under the attack of the entire civilization, it will not be without cost.”
“…”
Shen Hao said nothing, for all that needed to be said had been said.
He looked at the countless warships and fighters that were increasingly concentrating in front of him, covering the entire planet layer by layer, as well as the missiles, tungsten rods, nuclear weapons… that were already brazenly firing, streaking towards their spaceship.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

This civilization truly did not understand the Transcendent.
In the next moment, the vast stardust in his eyes condensed in an instant, Shen Hao sat on his throne, lifting the Emperor’s Scepter high above, and a terrifying radiance erupted in an instant, enveloping the entire spaceship!
Yes, the entire spaceship!
Although this Mother Ship was of high quality and was known as a “Mother Ship”, its actual size was not very large, even smaller than the immigrant spaceship!
And their Distance from the Desert Tower Mother Planet, when put into the scale of the Universe, was already at arm’s length!
Furthermore, with the use of many Level 22 Equipment and resources, Shen Hao’s current state and strength had accumulated to an unprecedented level, enough to allow him to do something seemingly inconceivable—using the Scepter to bring the entire Mother Ship, with a cross-space posture, to descend upon the Desert Tower Civilization’s Mother Planet!
The power of the Emperor’s Scepter enveloped the entire Mother Ship, and in the next instant, it transformed into a streak of light, tearing through space, heading straight for the Desert Tower Civilization’s Mother Planet!
Every weapon en route, every fighter, even including a massive Space Fortress, all were meaningless.
The path of the Emperor’s Scepter was truly space-jumping, appearing to be a three-dimensional passage, but in reality, it had already transcended the original dimensions!
And to all the civilizations closely watching this scene, it looked as if the Human Civilization’s warship had turned into a streak of light, piercing through all of the Desert Tower Civilization’s defenses in an instant, effortlessly descending into their Mother Planet!
The moment they witnessed this scene, all civilizations were dumbfounded.
But they also profoundly understood that the Desert Tower Civilization was finished!
This was a powerful warship that completely surpassed the Desert Tower Civilization on a technological level, and even in outer space, the Desert Tower Civilization still relied on large-scale, high-power heavy weapons, and dense attacks to have some possibility of resistance.
Inside the Mother Planet?
Once the battle began, it would bring massive destruction to the foundations of the civilization! Countless people would die on the Mother Planet, then turn into Undead, leading the entire civilization to an unavoidable end!
What’s more important—The Human Civilization’s Mother Ship could leave whenever it wanted!
Only now did countless people understand that what was previously launched from the Human Mother Planet, reaching the Sky Spirit Planet at superluminal speeds, was not some superluminal strike!
It was Teleportation! Fundamentally, it was Teleportation!
After realizing this point, an uncontrollable shudder swept over every being with emotions.
This power was far too terrifying.
Especially when paired with such an extremely powerful Space Battleship!
This meant that the Strongest within Human Civilization would descend upon any planet with an unstoppable presence, along with his Warship!
And he could leave whenever he desired!
Combined with the background of the Undead, the Mother Planets of all civilizations would be constantly subjected to a threat great enough to bring about the end of their civilizations!
“Is this the power of the Strongest in the Human Civilization?” After coming to grips with this reality, countless people were profoundly impacted.
However, after the shock, some people also felt indescribable joy!
Especially the Siti people and the Senya people who had joined Human Civilization!
They now belonged to a part of Human Civilization. The stronger Shen Hao became, the stronger Human Civilization became, and the safer they would be. This incomparable sense of security and glory was enough to make these Survivors who had experienced despair and extinction fanatically passionate!
Even the allied Sky Spirit People were extremely excited at this moment.
When the message came back, even the usually cold and serious Amamin, along with his students, raised their glasses and cheered!
Sending that message of friendship to Human Civilization might become the most correct decision in the history of Sky Spirit Civilization!
“Long live President Shen Hao!” Amamin even became so excited that his face turned red.
However, in the distant Desert Tower Civilization, after Shen Hao descended with the entire Mother Ship onto the Desert Tower Civilization’s Mother Planet, he was surprisingly calm.
The Mother Ship’s shields were fully activated, and all weapons, including the massively powerful main cannon, began charging.
The terrifying energy gathered at the end of the barrel, with the muzzle aimed at the planet beneath it, targeting the countless Desert Tower People within the densely packed military factory.
And in the next moment, a gigantic phantom seated on the throne enveloped the spaceship.
“Surrender, or be annihilated!”
Shen Hao unleashed his terrifying suppression without restraint, his grand voice echoing with thunder, spreading far and wide!
A negotiation?
When one side has completely bowed down, it’s more appropriate to call it a surrender!
What terrified those high-level Desert Tower Civilization’s executives the most was that at that moment, the control chips throughout the entire region sent out dense alarms. Through the control system, they could clearly see that the lower-class Desert Tower People had all put down their work and, one after another, prostrated on the ground, worshipping the huge phantom above them!
“How can this be possible!” some of the Desert Tower executives had already started yelling in terror, “It’s impossible! Impossible!”
All of these Desert Tower People have undergone body modifications, with all elements capable of birthing emotions precisely controlled.
They do not feel fear, do not get depressed, and have no psychological issues.
Apart from thinking and learning, they’re like robots in all other regards.
How could robots defy orders? How could they kneel?
Just as the Supreme Sage had previously told Shen Hao, with just one command, the entire civilization would fight him fearlessly to the end!
However, just as Shen Hao had told the Supreme Sage.
He simply didn’t understand the Transcendent!
The Sovereign’s suppression could even dominate and control inanimate objects, let alone living beings?
This kind of power was no longer about emotions, but a deeper essence!
When Shen Hao arrived here with this powerful warship, everything was already over.
Shen Hao also didn’t think for a second that the Supreme Sage would choose to continue fighting.
The previous conversation had already given him a rough understanding of the so-called Supreme Sage’s style.
Cold, rational, using data and theory to deduce situations, and making the most beneficial choices without hesitation – if it weren’t for the faint sense that there was indeed a soul behind the dialogue, Shen Hao might even suspect that it was just an intelligent AI.
With such a Controller at the helm, it’s no wonder that the civilization had turned out this way.
Similarly, at this very moment, the Supreme Sage had only one choice.
Surrendering was the only chance to keep the civilization alive, while fighting would only result in extinction.
“I, in my capacity as the Supreme Sage, on behalf of the entire Desert Tower Civilization, surrender to the mightiest Chosen One of the Human Civilization,” the voice of the Supreme Sage resounded at this moment, reaching all the high-level executives, “I now order, all weapons to return to the armory, all military factories to halt operations, and all personnel to stand by at their current locations…”
“No!” A wave of unwillingness and anger surged through the communication channels.
“How can you surrender!”
“Attack! Direct attack!”
“Issue the command to kill all Desert Tower People, let the Undead drown them!”
“I would rather die together than surrender!”
“…”
Many emotionally rich executives were caught in great rage and unwillingness, with some even wanting to kill all the lower-class Desert Tower People, turning the entire civilization into an Undead paradise!
There were countless high-ranking individuals living in outer space who wanted to hurriedly escape on spaceships.
Not every civilization had pledged allegiance to Human Civilization; if they could join some civilization, they still had the chance to survive, and even live comfortably.
Especially for the Chosen One, it was even more so!
There were also those, overwhelmed by anger, who wanted to fight to the death!
Like Ain at this very moment.
Still in outer space, he was yelling hysterically: “Fire, I order as the highest military commander of the Desert Tower Civilization, do not put down your weapons, all of you turn your guns around, fire for me! Bombard!”
But it was all in vain.
All his access rights had already been locked, his voice couldn’t even reach anyone beyond his immediate vicinity, and the spaceship he was on had shut down all its weapons systems, flying back against his will.
The other fleeing Desert Tower executives encountered similar situations.
They couldn’t run; they just couldn’t escape at all!
In this civilization, all power belonged to the Supreme Sage, all spaceships were under the Supreme Sage’s control, and these so-called executives, so-called authority holders, in fact had never truly possessed any part of the power, not even for a single day.
Not even to control a spaceship!
