Chapter 452 - All Stars Federation (2/2)

After more than two months, the stakes and profits of the Jinwu were divided among the major clans. Among them, the Tonghuang family took over 25% of Jinwu clan’s interests and the Mugu clan took over 20%. But correspondingly, the two families that got the biggest cut of the meat also paid a heavier price.

They had lost 20% of their powerful master practitioners.

However, after five to ten years, the two clans, Tonghuang and Mugu, would surely rise to become new super clans.

But, now, the Chen family had become a huge variable.

They had enough weight to cause an imbalance.

Of the Tonghuang or Mugu clans, whichever annexed the Chen family, would certainly be the biggest clan.

Two sets of greedy eyes were fixed on the Chen family, and a dangerous plan was brewing in their ambitious hearts.

Feeling the atmosphere of greed, the Chen family once again chose to strike first.

Of course, it was not a nuclear strike this time around. The senior administration of the Protoss blockaded the surface of the sea and it would be difficult to implement such a strike again.

Chen Yanfei, an eloquent and articulate child from the Chen family, visited the senior members of the Tonghuang and Mugu clans to explain the current attitude of the Chen family.

“My family is willing to offer 60% of our profits, with the condition that Tonghuang and Mugu will each receive half of that 60% in exchange for providing asylum for my family.”

“In addition, advanced high-precision products of all varieties will be preferentially supplied to the two families at discounted prices and unlimited quantities. We will prioritize service to the interests of the two families.”

“The stakes and benefits that the two families will gain from the Chen family would definitely be more than what you can gain after swallowing the Chen family using military force, then controlling our interests and squeezing us dry…. That is, if the Chen family decide to resist to the death, in a state of desperation, we would rather destroy all the research and production facilities until only the scorched earth is left than to allow the enemy to gain an advantage from us so easily!”

Thus, the value that they could obtain from the Chen family had dropped from a score of 10 that corresponded to the marvel that they had envisaged to one or two, with a maximum of only three.

Even if they had to destroy themselves, they would not let others gain any advantages… This dispelled the beautiful fantasy of the two clans.

What was more, the Chen family were not sheep who would not resist, but a hedgehog covered with spikes.

Especially the Chen family’s fortress, which could definitely be called “the strongest fortress on Earth.”

For all forces and powers, if they wanted to take down the Chen family’s Fortress, they must be prepared to suffer heavy losses.

Chen Yanfei introduced, “The only thing my family fear are the practitioners from the Shenguang Order or the Sage Order. If more than ten practitioners of the Shenguang Order are dispatched, my family would rather offer everything that we have and surrender.”

“However, if there are less than ten master practitioners of the Shenguang Order, then my family would still have the power to wage war.”

This was because a colossal lineup of various defenses was recently installed in the Chen’s Fortress. After the defenses were fully activated, it would be able to withstand the joint attack of ten practitioners from the Shenguang Order!

In addition, the large array of defenses could remove all traces of the natural spiritual energy inside the fortress to form a “vacuum zone” with only a minimal concentration of spiritual energy. As long as the practitioners entered this zone, it would be difficult for them to draw upon the spiritual energy in the air in order to enhance and maintain their combat ability.

Even the Shenguang Order would see their strength greatly reduced in such an environment.

Moreover, they had prepared countless high-tech weapons such as missiles, mechas, laser cannons, etc. in the fortress. They had way too many of such weapons, thousands and tens of thousands of them, the amount of firepower packed in the fortress was shocking.

Coupled with some even more powerful “celestial weapons.”

Even if one or two practitioners from the Shenguang Order broke through their defensive lineup, they would face the possibility of death.

Practitioners of an order lower than the Shenguang would go straight to hell where they belonged.

Chen Yanfei said with a curt finality, “This is the conclusion that we obtained from the computer simulations which had been done more 10,000 times – to breach the fortress and take down our family, you must pay the price of losing 40% of your powerful practitioners, or one or two immortals of the Shenguang Order! Are you willing to try?”

He also took out a video projector and played the simulation of the possible war that had been loaded inside.

The risk was clearly presented to the two clans.

Then again, would this work?

Naturally.

And the effects were very obvious. The expressions of the senior members of the Tonghuang and Mugu clans fluctuated for a long time. They gradually gave up on their risk-taking intention.

After all, the master practitioners of the Shenguang Order were extremely rare. There were at most five or six of them in the Jinwu family. In the Tonghuang family, there were only three; the Mugu family only two.

They had less than a handful of the strongest high-quality combat power, and not only would they have to participate in the battle personally, which was not usually done, they would also suffer heavy damage if even one of them was lost. If all the master practitioners fell, then the ranking of the clan would immediately fall to the point that they would be in a totally different league – they would become an ordinary family.

Sending a master from the Shenguang Order to attack the Chen family fortress, where they would face a large number of weapons with a probability that 40% of them would be injured all in exchange for low-value ruins; nobody would do that.

Moreover, the two clans had just absorbed the interests of the Jinwu clan, and they needed time to digest and stabilize themselves.

It was merely the Chen family. There was no need to be so eager to slaughter them. They could continue to raise them for some time.

In this way, the Chen family had once again won some valuable time to develop their projects.

…

Haierfa.

Recently, a big event had taken place in this universe.

That was after the Sela civilization was conquered by Mu Yunhua and merged into one civilization, it had become a very powerful force.

It ruled over more than a thousand star systems.

The ruling class population and the slave population combined were more than 500 billion.

They had more than a thousand powerful warships. Their large number of resources and technology was also undergoing rapid development.

He believed that it would not be long before it would occupy a very important role in the Milky Way galaxy.

But… Chen Jin found that there was a rather deadly flaw in this new type of power.

“The structure of the upper ruling class is loose, and its overall cohesiveness is only average. Such a structure exudes a free and beautiful vibe, but its centripetal force and sense of honor are not very strong. Although it is united now, it is also based on a group reaction that arises from a survival crisis. Now that the crisis is solved, the war over the dividends is unending. And it seemed that political institutions are still using the original voting system. It takes a majority vote against a minority vote to decide whether a motion is passed or not. In fact, it has bought huge party disputes that could present a potential danger.”

“The rights are very scattered and leaders have insufficient authority.”

“If they continue down this road, at most 50 years, the All-Stars Federation in your hands will experience a crisis, and even become a stage for all kinds of ambitious players and conspirators. There will be no peace, not even for a moment.”

Hearing this, Mu Yunhua’s expression became painful, she said helplessly, “‘It is easy to conquer a civilization but difficult to maintain it and to keep oneself in power.’ Since you said so, it should have a high probability of happening. So… What do you think I should do?”

In fact, she did not want to do anything else now. Now that she had her great vengeance, why not abdicate promptly so that she could do the things she liked, and just lead a simple life.

It was never her wish to be a politician.

“Yun, maybe… your All-Stars Federation needs a revered and prestigious queen to lead it onwards.”

Chen Jin said calmly.
