"What's the point of not calling him father and not wanting to hurt him?!"

Han Xu Yang's pupils suddenly shrank, and he exclaimed, "Could it be... does Xu Qing intend to acknowledge me as his foster father and then commit patricide?"

"This idea is absurd, Father. Perhaps you're overthinking it a bit."

"Nonsense, how can I not be nervous?"

Han Xu Yang lightly sighed and touched the dragon chair under him, saying softly, "For the first time, I feel the dragon chair beneath me is scorching. But if I were to abdicate in his favor, wouldn't I have to perform the courtesies of a minister when I see him in the future? Then where would my title as the ruler of a nation be placed?"

He sighed deeply.

Obviously, it's a joyous event of great magnitude, yet his heart is full of melancholy...

It's said that in Blue Star before crossing over, there was this saying about ministers having too much power, and emperors would find any excuse to suppress or eliminate such ministers.

But how could he suppress?

How does a tiger suppress a prehistoric Tyrannosaurus?

Han Xu Yang's mind was filled with complex thoughts.

But what needs to proceed... continues.

Escorted by Tairuo, after several days.

Xu Lingjun was finally safely escorted back within the Secret Realm... only when discovering that Xu Lingjun was sent back lying down.

Wang Qingya couldn't help but be shocked.

Everyone rushed forward anxiously.

No one expected Xu Lingjun to return in such a miserable state after just a few days.

But when they saw the corpses...

All the corpses, Xu Lingjun had forcibly taken back, including Beliya.

According to Xu Lingjun, Beliya gave his life to save me, and his remains must be buried personally by me, with daily offerings of three incense sticks.

No matter how much Tairuo wanted a grand burial, he had to hold back as he needed Xu Lingjun's help now.

Little did they know, Xu Lingjun could never hand over Beliya's body...

Otherwise, there's a high likelihood they'd discover that Beliya's body had already been modified into the shape of the Silicon Mysterious Clan.

Signaling others to lock Yi Shiqi in prison, with Lu Ye dispatching a separate avatar to guard him.

This is the best helper for future attacks on the Desperate Great Wall... he mustn't die recklessly.

As for the remains of the Master of Silicon and others that had been gnawed upon, Gu Xi took charge of collecting them.

In her words, those who schemed against our Commander in Chief to this extent, these bodies must be destroyed completely to quell her hatred.

Hearing this, even knowing that she intended to research the bodies privately, Tairuo and the others couldn't say much.

With this, Xu Lingjun went to rest.

Han Yun City remained behind to negotiate with them about the matters of submission.

Since they wanted to submit, it was naturally impossible to just submit nominally and then receive a bunch of rewards.

Especially as Xu Lingjun drove their bottom line extremely low...

Not only did they need to open access, allowing the Great Xia Empire's army to enter at any time.

But also met various excessive demands, such as the Land of Light needing to provide a significant number of high-energy weapons to the Great Xia Empire unconditionally, and all Han Yun City wanted was the Land of Light's most advanced technological research, including the Plasma Spark Tower.

This is nearly a Level of technology that the Land of Light holds as a belief system.

And other various resources, especially the natural springs of the Land of Light... the Spirit Liquid within, reportedly has excellent benefits for healing.

Amounts of money and such were no longer of any concern.

They initially thought there would be all sorts of haggling...

Unexpectedly, although Tairuo and the others hesitated, they agreed to everything.

It left Han Yun City in a daze for a while… he couldn't help but remind them to not make promises too rashly, perhaps consider thoroughly?

To their surprise, Tairuo and others were unwavering, stating that it was a necessary show of sincerity, as the Land of Light can no longer sustain itself and must rely on external assistance to survive.

Submitting is better than national ruin and family destruction.

Tairuo and others clearly also had their considerations... 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Xu Lingjun doesn't have long to live.

But the cultivation technique issue remains unresolved.

Moreover, if possible, they hope Xu Lingjun can appear in the Land of Light as the giant, since the people of the Land of Light believe in the existence of light, and if the Light Giant can appear in the Land of Light, it would undoubtedly maximize their morale.

Though by doing so... Xu Lingjun transformed into the Light Giant might become the belief system of the entire Land of Light, but as he doesn't have long to live, they don't intend to conflict with the Great Xia Empire while Xu Lingjun is alive.

The current priority is to avoid the risk of ethnic extinction.

Thus.

Tairuo and others agreed readily, then politely presented their requests.

Hoping Commander Xu Lingjun could personally visit the Empire of Light, guide them in cultivation techniques, and help them resolve their current crisis...

Given how cooperative the other side was behaving previously, Han Yun City hesitated for a moment.

He still hadn't figured out the exact situation yet.

After all, Xu Lingjun returned in such severe injuries...

But could anyone understand Xu Lingjun's strength better than Han Yun City?

Even if the Master of Silicon and others acted together, he didn't believe they could harm him.

He's like a hedgehog… no matter how you attack, he doesn't feel pain and can keep rebounding the enemy.

Yet his painful expression seemed so genuine that Han Yun City was left perplexed.

"It's okay, I will rest for a few days, then go with them."

Xu Lingjun, supported by Wang Qingya, weakly emerged.
