Chapter 756
The Signing of the Star Beast Treaty
[Especially the leader of the Star Beasts, whose enormous eyes, which had originally burned with flames of rage and destruction, now showed signs of the chaos and ferocity receding like a tide.]
Instead, there is a near-rational weighing of options, and a recognition of the absolute power disparity stemming from a life-or-death instinct.
Behind it, the restless, growling star beasts froze, their destructive impulses suppressed by a more primal instinct.
The crimson and confusion in those enormous eyes quickly faded, revealing an underlying tone of near bewilderment and tension, as clear as a child facing an incomprehensible power.
That look in his eyes was completely different from the legends of the star beasts circulating throughout the universe.
[How could a star beast not understand human speech?]
These star beasts are as powerful as true gods, but they're actually quite easy to get along with!
The Demon God's cold divine will, carrying an unquestionable power, struck the consciousness of every star beast equally.
The Red Heart Society hereby promulgates the New Order of the Star Abyss.
Obedience ensures survival, and even rebirth.
[Resistance will instantly transform into stardust, nourishing the new foundation of this realm.]
There are no complicated words, only stark choices.
The Star Beast Chieftain's enormous head nodded, extremely slowly yet with exceptional clarity, in the deathly silent starry sky.
It wasn't that I understood human speech, but rather that I grasped the absolute power and will contained within that divine thought.
In the face of absolute power, there are no barriers to communication.
[In April of the Extraordinary Calendar 5688, you personally descended upon the large Star Beast clan codenamed Black Nether, and, bearing the presence of the Star Beast Clan Chief, amiably demonstrated the power of an Ultimate True God.]
Your arrival was not accompanied by any earth-shattering phenomena; it was simply that the core of that star field naturally made room for you.
However, all beings, whether true gods of the Red Heart Society or Black Nether Star Beasts, felt all the laws and powers they possessed tremble slightly the moment you appeared, as if submitting to the supreme ruler.
[You didn't even intentionally release any pressure; simply by being there, you became the absolute center of the rules.]
The Star Beast Chieftain's massive frame appeared somewhat restrained in your presence.
You didn't say much, but simply raised your hand and made a grasping motion towards a distant, still chaotic and violent Star Abyss region that hadn't been transformed.
[Without a sound, the chaotic vortex capable of devouring true gods, the raging storm of rule-based lightning, the hidden void rifts, along with the remains of several unfortunate giant star beasts that had wandered here, were all compressed, ultimately transforming into a slowly rotating pitch-black crystal in your palm.]
Then, gently close your five fingers together.
【Snapped. 】
With a soft sound, the crystal vanished, leaving not even the slightest ripple of energy, as if it had never existed.
Throughout the entire process, you maintained a calm expression, even displaying a slight smile, as you looked at the Star Beast Chieftain.
The latter's massive body trembled almost imperceptibly, its head drooped even lower, and a low, humming sound, devoid of any rage but rather almost docile, escaped its throat.
[Subsequently, in a friendly atmosphere, both sides signed the first contract agreement between the Red Heart Society and the Black Nether Star Beast Clan.]
The friendly atmosphere was built upon the silent demonstration just now. The agreement had already been drafted by the Red Heart Society; this was merely a formality.
The contract, formed from divine power, was as vast as a starry scroll, suspended in the air. Its terms were crystal clear, their binding force pointing directly to the very essence of the soul.
The Star Beast Chieftain imprinted a soul mark mixed with his primordial blood essence onto it.
At that moment, the contract was established, the laws responded, and invisible shackles temporarily bound the fate of the entire Black Nether Clan to the Crimson Heart Society.
From this day forward, the Crimson Heart Society and the Black Nether Star Beast Clan were the best allies and brothers in history.
[Any member of the Red Heart Society can obtain the Black Nether Star Beast's help by making it comfortable.]
[The terms "allies" and "brothers" are merely high-sounding rhetoric. The truly comfortable approach encompasses everything from providing refined, easily absorbed special energy crystals to regular emotional management by psychological counselors from the Temple of the Mind, ensuring the star beasts maintain "clear" eyes.]
[Furthermore, there's the promise to allocate specific, relatively resource-rich reserves for the Black Nether race within the future Order Star Abyss.]
The scope of their assistance is extremely broad, ranging from using their immense power to transport materials and smooth out minor turbulence in the Star Abyss Project, to serving as advance probes for the Red Heart Society to explore unknown and dangerous areas, and even becoming part of the Red Heart Society's military display in certain future situations.
During the exchange between the two sides, the Black Nether Star Beast must not harm any members of the Red Heart Society.
Any Black Nether Star Beast that actively harms a member of the Red Heart Society will be hunted down by the Star Beast Chieftain and expelled from the clan.
This is an ironclad rule; the price of disobeying it is the purging of the entire community and eternal exile.
The Star Beast Chieftain knew all too well that, in the face of the Crimson Heart Society, individual violence would only lead to the destruction of the entire clan.
[By having it carry out the cleanup itself, at least the majority of the population can be preserved.]
From this point on!
The Red Heart Society and the Star Beasts have reached an alliance agreement!
[A large number of star beasts, under the orders of their clan leaders, reluctantly left their lairs and came to the Red Heart Society headquarters as exchange students.]
Exchange student—yet another term veiled in civilized connotations.
Groups of relatively small, stable-tempered, and quite powerful Black Nether Star Beasts, under the stern, even fierce, command of their chieftain, reluctantly left their familiar yet chaotic lair, glancing back every few steps.
They traveled through the stable stargate established by the Red Heart Society to the well-ordered and strictly rule-bound headquarters of the Red Heart Society.
Their eyes were filled with apprehension about the unknown order of the world and resentment at the loss of freedom.
But deeper within is a surrender to that irresistible force, and a faint hope, perhaps even unnoticed by themselves, for survival and a possible new beginning.
Their arrival added a unique touch to the Red Heart Society headquarters and marked a new stage in the Red Heart Society's conquest and transformation of Xingyuan, encompassing a comprehensive integration from physical to biological order.
The arrogance of the Star Beasts crumbled under the weight of absolute power, and the chaos of the Star Abyss was tamed by the infrastructure construction frenzy.
All of this is merely a small step in your grand plan, a convenient environmental cleanup and resource integration undertaken by the Red Heart Society on its path to the ultimate throne.
The Star Beast race is a piece you casually placed in your game, but it may play an extremely important role in the future.
However, for now, they can only serve as aids on the Red Heart Society's path of development. (End of Chapter)
