Chapter 1575 - 1549: Thanos Saint

The 103 City Lords in the hall felt a jolt in their minds, a complete blank.

Yang Xiao gave them half an hour to express their stance; otherwise, he threatened to send troops to massacre them.

We are fish on the chopping board!

The City Lords exchanged glances, filled with anxiety; they had painstakingly managed their cities for decades, even generations. Now, with a single statement from Yang Xiao, they were stripped of their autonomy. Military and financial powers had to be handed over, and only two hundred million of the billions of crystal disks could be retained. Who wouldn't be heartbroken? Who would be willing?

But, on the other hand, if unwilling, what could be done?

Over on Yang Xiao's side, Flying Tiger had already started the countdown, a meter-high hourglass slowly trickling away the sands of time.

Mr. Master glanced at everyone and said lightly:

"I advise you all, if you have no life, then wealth is for others. Guo Jianglong and the pangolin are examples. If you resist, first consider if you are stronger than Guo Jianglong and the pangolin."

A City Lord took a deep breath, stood up, and walked over to Yang Xiao:

"I, the City Lord of Baihua City, am willing to submit to the Central Continent Empire, accepting the rule of His Majesty the King."

Yang Xiao nodded,

"Good! Good! From now on, you and I are brothers, one family."

With the first person submitting, there was a second, then a third. In an instant, twenty or thirty City Lords stood up and walked over to Yang Xiao, expressing voluntary submission.

More than ten minutes later, more than half of the City Lords had joined Yang Xiao.

The remaining City Lords felt increasing pressure.

As the hourglass continued to lose sand, the yet-to-submit City Lords were drenched in sweat, forced to stand and walk over to Yang Xiao.

Before the hourglass ran out, all 103 City Lords expressed their submission.

"Good, thank you all for your trust in me. Today is a good day; our Central Continent Empire has finally completed the conquest of the entire Central Continent, very good, worth celebrating, haha..."

"Hail to His Majesty the King!"

All 103 City Lords knelt together, indicating allegiance.

Central Continent Wenti City celebrated for three days and nights, rejoicing in the complete unification of the Central Continent.

...

Dwarf Star, Divine Dynasty Continent, Divine Hall.

As the supreme leader of all the tribes on Dwarf Star, Thanos Saint was holding a meeting, listening to the latest significant events on the Dwarf Star Continent.

A guard hurriedly entered the grand hall of the Divine Hall, bowing and kneeling on the ground.

"Reporting to Leader Thanos, there is news that Central Continent has been unified by a person named Yang Xiao, and they have established the Central Continent Empire."

Sitting on the main throne of the Divine Hall was a middle-aged man, the continuously body-seizing, immortal, and ever-conscious leader, Thanos Saint.

Thanos Saint was stunned for a moment, then said lightly:

"Central Continent? Isn't that the exile place for our Dwarf Star's criminals? How could it be unified into a country?"

Thanos Saint had little interest in Central Continent and was not very familiar with it.

An elder stood up and said solemnly:

"Reporting to Leader Thanos, Central Continent was originally a place of abandonment, a place for exiling criminals. However, after thousands of years of development, Central Continent has become a self-contained entity with tens of millions of people and more than two hundred cities, including some Extraordinary Experts at the Emperor Level Realm,

In the past, Central Continent was divided, each staking their claim. It's surprising someone managed to unify Central Continent, which is indeed a strange thing."

Thanos asked:

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

The elder replied:

"I am not sure of the situation myself; what might happen is still unknown."

"Hehe, an abandoned place; even if they band together for survival and establish a country, what can they do? I alone could annihilate them; it's nothing worth making a fuss about."

The elder bowed and said:

"Most people on Central Continent were exiled from various clans on Dwarf Star, and they naturally harbor hatred and hostility towards other clans,

Now, as a united empire, their strength should not be underestimated, possibly not inferior to our Dwarf Star's top ten tribes."

"Oh, then according to your opinion, what should be done?"

"Reporting to Leader Thanos, I wish to personally go to Central Continent, meet this man named Yang Xiao, understand the situation, and then make a decision."

Thanos waved his hand, saying:

"Fine, since you like to mess around, then go; make your own judgment. In a while, I will be in seclusion for cultivation, so I have no time for these trivial matters,

By the way, how's our progress with the attack on Witch Star?"

An elder wearing silver armor stood up, bowing:

"Reporting to Leader Thanos, Witch Star was defeated by us two years ago, but these Witch Star people are very resilient and refuse to accept our rule. We've already sent five armies there,

Dwarf Star is far from Witch Star; even if large spaceships fly at a thousand times the speed of light, it takes over half a year to reach Witch Star. With limited troops sent each time, and under the tenacious resistance of the Witch Star people, our losses are significant."

In fact, the real situation is that Gu Bo, Long Jing, and others have established a war alliance government on Witch Star, uniting to counter the Dwarf Star people.

The Witch Star people are numerous and the territory vast; each time the Dwarf Star sends tens of thousands of troops, they can only huddle in a few limited cities. If they disperse their forces, they get ambushed by Gu Bo, Long Jing, and others.

Although the single combat capability of the Witch Star people is not as good as the Dwarf Star warriors, they have the numbers, sacrificing one batch after another to swarm up.

The Dwarf Star commanders on Witch Star are vexed over this matter.

Thanos Saint listened, coldly stating:

"Since the main force of Witch Star was defeated two years ago, why haven't the Witch Star people been conquered yet?

Build more interstellar spaceships, send more warriors over, and conquer Witch Star as soon as possible. Once I finish my seclusion and successfully break through to the Saint Level Realm, I'll personally lead you to Witch Star to establish our new home."

"Yes, we will do our utmost to conquer Witch Star as soon as possible, eagerly anticipating Leader Thanos's arrival at Witch Star!"

"Haha.... good!"

Thanos Saint laughed heartily, getting up from the throne, saying:

"Alright, during my seclusion, you shall handle affairs among yourselves. You are all my trusted subordinates, and our Elder Court of Ten Clans, discuss matters among yourselves. If anyone dares to cause trouble, the day I emerge from seclusion will be the day they are eliminated, with no mercy spared!"

"Yes!"

In the Divine Hall, hundreds of people knelt on the ground.

Thanos Saint cast a glance at everyone, laughed heartily, and left satisfied.

"Farewell, Leader Thanos! May Leader Thanos emerge from seclusion soon, cultivate into a saint, and unify the universe for millennia to come!"

"Farewell, Leader Thanos! May Leader Thanos emerge from seclusion soon, cultivate into a saint, and unify the universe for millennia to come!"

...

Loud voices echoed in the Divine Hall.

"Haha..."
