Chapter 955: A Smooth Merger
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Earth Federation already had an overwhelming advantage over the Tempest Ocean realm, and it didn’t have the situation that many people imagined where both sides would be on equal footing. The Tempest Ocean realm would be able to contend against the Earth Federation in that case.
In fact, the two sides already had a fundamental difference in strength. It was simply impossible for them to be on equal footing.
Lu Xuan had opened a passage between Earth and the immortal qi dimension. This had already happened for five years, but in these five years, Lu Xuan had forcefully suppressed this matter.
Not a single piece of news was revealed. Even the people of the Earth Federation did not know what exactly had happened. The official scientific research institute had found some clues, but all of the findings had been forcefully suppressed by Lu Xuan behind his back.
Even Lin Ziyi was requested by Lu Xuan not to tell anyone about the immortal Qi dimension. Although Lin Ziyi was a salted fish, she was also an extremely intelligent woman. She naturally understood Lu Xuan’s plan.
Without a doubt, she had planned to suppress the immortal qi dimension first. Only after the Earth Federation’s strength had completely surpassed the Tempest Ocean realm would she announce it.
The intent of annexing the Tempest Ocean realm was about to be announced.
Lin Ziyi did not care about this. Her personality was like this. She would not go out if she could stay indoors. Moreover, she had become increasingly clear over the years about how terrifying Lu Xuan’s strength was.
It was far more powerful than they had imagined. If Lu Xuan was willing, it could be said that he could suppress the entire Tempest Ocean realm by himself.
Even though the Tempest Ocean realm was at least ten times stronger than before, it was still far from Lu Xuan’s power.
It was completely different.
More than ten years ago, Lu Xuan was able to wipe out the ancestral group of the Xuanhuo sect by himself. There were dozens of Consolidation realm experts, and there were even several powerful experts at the peak of the Consolidation Realm.
Even now, she was unable to reach such a level of battle prowess because reaching the peak of the Consolidation realm was already the limit. She could clearly feel the ceiling of the world, and if she wanted to advance even further when she was already touching the ceiling of the world, it would simply be too difficult.
It was precisely because of this that it was so terrifying. Right now, only Lu Shanshan and the others’ battle prowess could be compared to Lu Xuan’s back then.
After so many years, she already knew that Lu Xuan’s family was extraordinary. Other than Lu Tiancheng, they all had innate divine bodies.
Only Lu Shanshan and the others had the potential to reach Lu Xuan’s level. This was not a difference in talent, but a difference in physique.
For example, some people were born weak, while others were born with boundless strength. Under the same circumstances, those born weak could not catch up to those born with divine strength no matter how hard they practiced.
It was not that easy to break through the suppression of the original godly body.
That was still Lu Xuan’s strength from more than ten years ago. Now, she could not even sense Lu Xuan’s strength. Lu Xuan stood in front of her, and unless she used her eyes to see, she could not actually sense that someone was standing in front of her, even if he stood just one meter in front of her, she still could not sense that someone was right in front of her.
Under such circumstances, regardless of whether it was the situation or her heart, Lin Ziyi would not publicize this matter.
Moreover, Lu Xuan was a member of the Earth Federation, so it was normal for him to favor the Earth Federation. With Lu Xuan’s strength, there was no room for them to resist.
The truth was similar to what Lin Ziyi had guessed. Lu Xuan had no intention of turning Earth and the Tempest Ocean realm into a binary federation.
In the Earth Federation, there could only be one main body, and that was the Earth Federation. The other Allied worlds, including the future, would not allow their strength to far surpass that of the Earth Federation.
In Lu Xuan’s future plans, the Earth Federation would be the main body, and the other worlds would be the satellite worlds.
In the face of this overwhelming disparity in strength, the upper class of the Tempest Ocean realm was at ease. Especially when they knew that as long as the Tempest Ocean realm was incorporated into the Earth Federation’s territory, they would also be able to enjoy the treatment of being covered in immortal qi, they instantly conquered the upper class of the Tempest Ocean realm.
The Tempest Ocean realm no longer had the ability or willingness to resist the Earth Federation.
They could either peacefully join the Earth Federation or be annexed. There was no other possibility.
All of this was naturally Lu Xuan’s plan. As a world that had invaded Earth in his previous life, having such an ending was already the result of Lu Xuan showing mercy.
This was because, in his previous life, the Tempest Ocean realm had groups like the Xuanhuo sect who strongly advocated for the invasion and annexation of Earth, as well as people like Lin Ziyi who had fought alongside him in the past.
The cause of his previous life, the result of his current life!
Without the leadership of the upper class of the Tempest Ocean realm, it was impossible for the remaining middle and lower echelons to resist even if they wanted to.
Moreover, they didn’t want to resist at all. There were too many benefits to joining the Earth Federation, and the most important of them was naturally to be able to receive the nourishment of immortal qi.
The quality of immortal qi surpassed the mid-tier spirit stones, which meant that they could have countless spirit stones which power that surpassed even mid-tier spirit stones. From then on, they would have no lack of cultivation resources.
This was something that many people dreamed of. In the past, only core true disciples of Cultivation Holy sites Like the Xuanhuo sect could receive such treatment. Now, everyone could receive such treatment.
How could anyone not be happy with such a good thing?
Very quickly, the people of the Tempest Ocean realm had already analyzed the pros and cons of this. Naturally, they were able to analyze it. The merger would be of great benefit to them.
Under such circumstances, the action of the Tempest Ocean realm merging into the Earth Federation was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Many huge teleportation arrays had also been set up. These huge teleportation arrays that spanned across galaxies and could even directly reach the Tempest Ocean realm had been set up. In fact, the effect was even better than the original ancient star path.
Originally, such teleportation formations could not be built. Firstly, because of technical reasons, to set up such a teleportation formation, one needed an extremely profound formation master, be it from the Tempest Ocean realm or the Earth Federation, in reality, there was no such powerful formation master in existence.
But now, it was different with Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan’s attainments in arrays were extremely high. With his previous life’s realm, everything could be done in one way or another.
In addition, immortal qi from the immortal qi dimension was constantly providing energy to the teleportation array. Because immortal qi came from the immortal qi dimension, it was almost endless and could provide energy continuously.
In the secular world, the only one who could use immortal qi to provide energy for the teleportation formation like a prodigal was probably Lu Xuan.
In other words, every bit of immortal Qi that was obtained had to be stored as a treasure and used when they made a breakthrough in the future.
Aside from the fact that it would be a waste, it was essentially a waste of a gift from God.
