Chapter 1262: Meat on the Chopping Block
“If you don’t want to negotiate, I have no objections.”
“It’s just, are you prepared to bear all the consequences?”
Yan Xia seemed in no hurry at all.
His next sentence made the representatives of the Bidi Jiu Civilization inexplicably tense.
“What do you mean by that?”
Yan Xia waved his hand, as if nothing had happened, and said, “Nothing, nothing, I didn’t say anything just now.”
This was a clumsy performance, but it had to be said, it was very effective.
At least behind the performance, there must have been some confidence.
“President Yan, I think we are not enemies. It’s better to be frank.”
“After all, neither of us wants to be swallowed up in the coming catastrophe.”
Yan Xia sneered.
Now they know how to speak softly?
However, he couldn’t push the suspense too hard, so he chuckled, “You are about to face a great disaster and you don’t even realize it!”
Upon hearing this, representatives from other Civilizations felt they were being played.
“Alarmist!”
Isn't Human Civilization the one facing a great disaster now?
Is this Superstar Technology’s president crazy, to say such things?
And those Rasti Federation representatives present also looked at Yan Xia in astonishment.
The Bidi Jiu Civilization representative also saw the expressions of these federal representatives, and his mind settled, thinking that Yan Xia was out of options and was trying to bluff them.
“Even if there is a great disaster, our Extraterrestrial Civilizations will last longer than Human Civilization. No need for the President to worry!”
Yan Xia sighed and shook his head.
“You have indeed been too comfortable for too long.”
“You can’t even see this clearly.”
“Do you think Human Civilization is stronger, or Extraterrestrial Civilization is stronger?”
The Bidi Jiu Civilization representative snorted.
“There are dozens of Extraterrestrial Unknown Civilizations, and more than ten top-tier Civilizations. How can your Human Civilization compare?”
Yan Xia nodded.
“That’s right!”
“Since Extraterrestrial Civilization is powerful, then why do you think the Silver Heart Civilizations would first target us?”
“Aren’t they afraid of alerting the enemy?”
“So before anything happens to you Extraterrestrial, our Human Civilization will definitely be fine.”
The Bidi Jiu Civilization representative thought Yan Xia would say something profound, but he mocked him aloud.
“That’s true, which is why the top-tier Extraterrestrial Civilizations are looking for proxy Civilizations within the galaxy. Don’t tell me you think we’re all fools and only your Human Civilization is smart?”
Yan Xia shook his head slightly: “It seems the caliber of your representatives is not very good.”
Before the Extraterrestrial Civilization representatives could get angry, Yan Xia said:
“It’s not that we consider you fools, but that you consider our Human Civilization fools.”
“Since you know this, then why can’t Human Civilization play both sides, only contacting Extraterrestrial Civilizations and not Silver Heart Civilizations?”
“I imagine you are not even at the core of your own Civilizations, otherwise, it would be impossible not to see this clearly.”
“Extraterrestrial Civilizations are pushing Human Civilization forward, intending to set up a battlefield within Human Civilization, but this will only be a small battlefield, not a decisive major one.”
“After all, if this place is destroyed, only Human Civilization is annihilated, while you Extraterrestrial Civilizations, as investors, remain unharmed. Instead, a stalemate within Human Civilization will give Extraterrestrial Civilizations extra time for development.”
“This is obvious!”
The Bidi Jiu Civilization representative was full of doubt.
“Then why…”
“You want to ask, then why is Human Civilization still needed? Why are Extraterrestrial Civilizations rushing to Human Civilization like mad? Why is the information you received to obtain Human Civilization at all costs?”
The Bidi Jiu Civilization representative was silent, as were the other Extraterrestrial Civilization representatives. Clearly, Yan Xia had hit the mark!
Actually, Yan Xia was also guessing.
But this guess was not random.
It was information derived from a combination of many facts, and it was deduced by Ella.
With Ella’s capabilities, the derived information was often more reliable than some divine calculations in fantasy novels.
“Because of the struggle!”
“The top-tier Extraterrestrial Civilizations ultimately want to participate in the Dimension War and be the final victors.”
“The goal of the proxy Civilizations themselves is not war, but the top-tier Extraterrestrial Civilizations need a foothold within the galaxy.”
“Or rather, a chessboard!”
“This is actually a game of chess in itself!”
“The top-tier Extraterrestrial Civilizations know that they cannot come in person, or dare not come in person, so they support a powerful Civilization to begin exploring dimension and space.”
“And there are not many Civilizations within the galaxy that meet the criteria. Human Civilization is one, Destiny Ring Star is one, and perhaps there are other Civilizations, but they are few after all.”
“After Destiny Ring Star decided to escape, even fewer remained. And the reason Human Civilization was chosen was entirely due to the structural problems of Human Civilization itself.”
Too chaotic!
Human Civilization is very complex compared to those other Civilizations.
Its internal structure is a multi-Civilization conglomerate, further divided into many different factions. Such a place is easily invaded and exploited.
Not to mention, Human Civilization’s research in dimension is not weak either.
“In short, the top-tier Extraterrestrial Civilizations ultimately chose Human Civilization as a tentacle for exploring dimension and space.”
“And in fact, Silver Heart Civilization also knows this, but they will not destroy the chessboard!”
“Because without the chessboard, the players either stop playing and leave directly, or the game on the chessboard turns into other forms of competition, such as direct military force.”
“In the latter aspect, the Silver Heart naturally isn’t afraid of the Extraterrestrial stray dogs.”
“So they are still afraid that the top-tier Extraterrestrial Civilizations will stop playing. Not playing, of course, isn’t truly not playing; they might still be lurking in the distance, which is unacceptable to Silver Heart Civilization.”
“Rather than that, it’s better to first tie up the Extraterrestrial Civilizations using the chessboard, and then act both on and off the chessboard, annihilating these wolf-dogs with lightning speed. Only then will they be at ease.”
“Therefore, Human Civilization is actually the safe place in this war, while Extraterrestrial is the dangerous one.”
“And you also said that Andromeda Civilization is involved, which makes it even more exciting!”
Being weak has its advantages.
Although this was merely a guess, seeing a small part reveals the whole. In fact, everything was decided from the moment the Contact appeared.
The previous theory that top-tier Civilizations needed followers was untenable.
Back then, Human Civilization had no idea how powerful a Level 3 Civilization was!
Level 3 Civilizations have no need to select followers from within the Milky Way. Millions or tens of millions of light-years are not considered a distant journey for a Level 3 Civilization. As long as this universe still has wormhole, Level 3 Civilizations can choose followers from anywhere.
Even if they don't choose, they can create their own.
Then why did the Contact leave behind Unknown Civilization?
This was said by the Contact himself.
Clearly, this game was not set up by Extraterrestrial Civilization, but rather by Silver Heart Civilization.
Extraterrestrial Civilizations, in order to participate in the war, for that slim chance of becoming Level 3, had to choose a proxy Civilization.
What a dangerous world!
In fact, the Contact probably didn't even think Human Civilization would become that proxy Civilization.
After all, Human Civilization was still very weak back then.
And if it couldn’t become a proxy Civilization, the result would surely be a cannon fodder role. In this regard, Human Civilization can be considered lucky.
After listening to Yan Xia’s words, the Bidi Jiu Civilization representative immediately accused him of talking nonsense and then left the palace directly, his steps somewhat hurried!
Just as Yan Xia said, these representatives sound intimidating, but in this world, how many decision-makers are as hands-on as Yan Xia?
The Extraterrestrial Civilization representatives who came here were definitely those with little status or connections.
In the Civilization Federation system, they were at most second-tier officials.
The first-tier decision-makers, and perhaps even the true controllers above the first-tier, would not come here.
After the negotiations concluded, Sumiya also took time out of his busy schedule to Contact Yan Xia.
“Mr. President, how are the negotiations progressing?”
Sumiya was now Yan Xia’s right-hand man.
No longer just the messenger he once was.
Asking about the negotiation progress was not overstepping; he simply needed to know these things to coordinate subsequent arrangements.
“Very well, the meat is already on the chopping block!” Yan Xia said with a smile.
Eating meat naturally has a process.
A fresh piece of meat is bought, washed clean, placed on a chopping board, and cut into shreds, slices, or cubes with a knife. Then, a pot is heated with oil, considering whether to add seasoning first or stir-fry the meat first.
If it’s a simple stir-fry, it’s stir-fried over high heat for one or two minutes, then removed once cooked, followed by stir-frying the seasonings, and then adding the meat back. This ensures the meat remains tender and doesn’t become tough… Thinking about it, Yan Xia felt a bit hungry.
Recently, due to the semi-energy creatures, he had been eating energy bars and hadn’t satisfied his cravings.
Despite over two hundred thousand years passing, Yan Xia’s favorite was still stir-fried dishes.
“Mr. President wants to stir-fry it over high heat, but I wonder if those Extraterrestrial Civilizations can handle it!”
Sumiya had some worries.
After all, Extraterrestrial Civilizations are outside the galaxy, so they can be said to be out of harm’s way. Even with Yan Xia’s words, they might not become anxious.
After all, when the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.
These Unknown Civilizations, like dead pigs unafraid of boiling water, felt that the first blow would certainly not fall on them.
“Don’t worry, I received a message from Civilization Federation that Civilization Federation obtained some excellent items left behind by top-tier Civilizations from Four-Dimensional, and they also have a way to go to Extraterrestrial.”
Yan Xia, of course, didn’t know when the Silver Heart Civilization would act.
But he knew when Civilization Federation would act!
As long as they cooperate well, why would he be afraid of the meat coming alive and jumping out of the pot?
