Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start-Chapter 1658 - 1546. The tense council chamber

AI Blue Whale’s calculations are quite accurate; Su Yu indeed needs three and a half days.

Three and a half days later, Su Yu, having fully absorbed, returns to Grela-13 with Lea using the Teleportation Gate.

Wind Valley City, 3 PM that afternoon.

In a building resembling a grand hall, Cat Morning Star lies bored on Lea’s throne, lazily flicking her tail.

This "grand hall" is essentially the latest council chamber, built by Lea after advancing to Planet-level, to facilitate command and discussions of state affairs with other clan leaders.

The throne Morning Star is lying on belongs to Lea, made purely of gold and colorful precious gems.

Due to the high purity of gold being soft, a Spiritual Energy Stabilizing Array with a diameter of two meters is set around the throne.

At the moment, the council chamber is fully assembled with two hundred Dominion Level cultivators, surrounded by senior figures from various clans, such as Lea’s sister Ireya.

Now, these powerhouses are quietly discussing among themselves, their expressions uncertain. Some are smiling, like Ireya; others are grave, like Magradon, and some are questioning.

Seeing the time has come, Magradon, standing in the center, is the first to ask toward the throne: "Your Excellency Morning Star, is it confirmed to be now? It’s already the 3 PM you mentioned."

Morning Star had previously announced that Su Yu and Lea would return to Grela this afternoon at 3 PM, and they would be on time. That’s why everyone is gathered here waiting, and it’s now the time Morning Star foretold.

"It is indeed 3 PM." Morning Star nodded.

However, she indifferently turned her head and casually said, "Then let’s wait a little longer; give them more time and they’ll surely return."

"How long exactly do we have to wait?" someone below the throne asked.

"How would I know?" Morning Star rolled her eyes at the questioner: "It could be a few minutes, or a few hours. Just wait patiently, won’t you?"

Following Morning Star’s comment, the murmuring below instantly grew louder.

A Dominion Level entity resembling a giant cross between an ape and a mammoth shouted: "Everyone, I still don’t think this is right. Your Excellency Su Yu is indeed strong, but why do we all have to pledge allegiance to him?"

These words immediately resonated with many of the powerhouses:

"Yes! Why must we pledge allegiance?"

"Each clan is an independent entity and should not become the vassal of another clan."

"In the past, our clans were independent; why can’t that continue to be the case in the future?"

"Even if the Human Race is powerful, I support you becoming the dominant force of the Southern Hemisphere, but isn’t demanding allegiance from our entire clan too much?"

The throne below erupted with a chorus of skepticism.

Facing these doubts, Morning Star showed no concern, merely disdainfully twitching her whiskers.

She understood why these doubts arose: Simply because these powerhouses didn’t know how terrifying Planet-level power really is.

Although they have seen Lea and Planet-level Intelligent Machines in action, the first time at the South Pole Planet-level the Intelligent Machines hid their strength, and the second time in Crystal Lattice City Lea hid hers.

When they truly witness Su Yu’s strength, they won’t dare to question it.

...

Seeing Morning Star ignoring them, someone below the throne began to incite Magradon, as Magradon was their backbone.

"Lord Magradon? Leading with the Human Race is one thing, but we can’t just agree to pledge allegiance like this!"

"Lord Magradon, think more about your own clan; are we supposed to be working like slaves for the Human Race hereafter?"

"Lord Magradon, the Spirit Wing Clan should have its own pride, shouldn’t it?"

Upon hearing this, Magradon couldn’t help but frown: "Well..."

Truth be told, Magradon certainly doesn’t want to become a vassal to the Human Race deep down. It’s acceptable to be subjects, but not slaves.

Yet, he’s unsure just how strong Su Yu and Lea truly are.

"Your Excellency Morning Star," Magradon mustered the courage to probe, "regarding pledging allegiance to Your Excellency Su Yu, could there be some flexibility..."

"There is no choice," Morning Star abruptly interrupted: "Either pledge allegiance or leave this council chamber. Of course, leave at your own risk."

She stood up impatiently, looking at all the powerhouses: "The same goes for you. Either pledge allegiance or get out, and stop buzzing around here like flies!"

The powerhouses present, although unaware of what "flies" were, were inflamed by Morning Star’s nasty attitude; several immediately heated up:

"What’s up with your attitude?"

"Did we sell our clan to you?"

"Are we begging you to enslave us?"

"Is this attitude now implying future treatment will be even worse?"

Not only those few powerhouses, but Magradon’s expression also turned grim, feeling an urge to leave immediately.

Seeing the situation going awry, Ireya standing in the periphery hurriedly signaled Morning Star with her eyes.

But Morning Star ignored her, standing indifferent.

Just at this tense moment, a silver-white Teleportation Gate opened five meters in front of Morning Star.

Su Yu emerged from it, accompanied by Lea.
