“We’ve signed a life-and-death agreement, wagering the survival of our two civilizations. Now you want to surrender, not only protecting your life, but also ensuring the survival of your Barnard civilization, there needs to be a certain compensation…”

Du Gang’s face remained calm as he said lightly: “Name your price. If I’m satisfied, I will let you live. If I’m not satisfied, then I will act…”

Looking at the respectfully standing Overlord, he reminded: “Remember, I’m only giving you one shot!”

The Overlord swallowed hard, finding it difficult, but he had to go through with it.

After a costly reluctance, he finally said: “Fifty satellite bases, ten one-star ships, two two-star ships, one three-star ship, a resonance node shield…”

He spoke for a long time, worrying that it was not enough, and finally added: “These things take up half of the Barnard family’s current resources. You should know that destroying a civilization is easy, but once destroyed, there’s nothing left to salvage…”

“In addition, my Barnard is willing to form a thousand-year alliance with Earth Civilization. We share life and death, progress and retreat together…”

Finally, Du Gang accepted his offerings. The two returned to the Overlord’s palace and under the witness of the guests who had come to the wedding, they signed a life-saving agreement, along with a pact of a thousand-year alliance.

Du Gang was indeed powerful, but Earth Civilization was weak, making this thousand-year alliance incredibly crucial.

Though only a thousand years, he believed that this amount of time was sufficient for Earth to grow stronger.

Once everything was signed and done, all the representatives of the many powers who were attending the ceremony, collectively sighed in relief

Now, whether they were from meteorite or comet-level powers, they all held their glasses and came up to Du Gang to express their respect. In no time, Du Gang became the center of all social interactions.

In their eyes, the Earth power led by Du Gang had instantly transformed from a first-level force to a two-and-a-half-level force.

It was clear that no secondary power would dare to antagonize Du Gang after witnessing today’s battle.

For these people, Du Gang did not give a cold face but rather engaged in friendly conversations with them.

His intent to display his might had been achieved. He could clearly see that no one would try to take advantage of Earth civilization in the future.

Now, his first priority was to maintain some goodwill and show these people that he, Du Gang, was not a madman or a senseless killer.

In some corner of the banquet hall, Pang Ze looked at Du Gang, who was being surrounded at the center, with an uneasy feeling.

At first, he thought Du Gang was just a native earthling with a power comparable to the meteorite-level, hence he didn’t overthink it.

However, after the Overlord stated his intention to destroy the Earth, he thought Du Gang was done for.

Now, things changed and Du Gang was climbing up the ranks.

Before he could adjust his mindset and join others in getting to know Du Gang, his communicator rang.

Upon checking, he found that it was Hu Xiang, head of the Cosmic Civilization Protection Association’s branch in the Wasteland Star Region.

This sudden message set him into a panic. He went to a corner and reluctant as he was, he answered the call.

“P…President!”

“Are you still at the banquet hall?”

“Yes!”

“Has that giant left yet?”

“No, he’s still conversing with others…”

“Regarding you bowing to the Hall of Gods as a representative of the Association, do you have anything to say?” Hu Xiang spoke indifferently, as if he didn’t care about the matter.

But Pang Ze knew that this wasn’t as simple as it appeared.

“President, Ares was staring at all three of us all this time, acting as if he could start a fight any moment…”

“We three are only meteorite-level. We didn’t think too much, just felt it was normal for meteorite levels to salute comet-level powerhouses…”

“Hmph!”

Hu Xiang chuckled lightly and said, “I see. I remember you were the one in charge of the negotiation with the Earth Alliance. Do you know that giant?” Pang Ze frantically said, “I do know him, I do!”

Hu Xiang nodded and said, “Now, go and befriend that giant. If you get along well with him, I won’t pursue this issue further!”

“Yes, yes, yes, President, I will definitely get along well with him!” Pang Ze quickly responded.

“Go ahead!”

After hanging up the call, Hu Xiang opened the video in front of him once again and began to watch it.

Only after watching Du Gang knock away nearly half of the satellite with a single spear did he heave a deep sigh of relief.

He had watched this video several times in a row, and each viewing left him utterly shocked!

He had once been privileged enough to see a satellite-class powerhouse in action. To destroy a satellite, such a being had to unleash a massive offensive; and such an attack could not be maintained indefinitely.

Yet, the giant was different; the power he displayed came entirely from physical strength, and there wasn’t even a hint of Star Power fluctuations within his body. This indicated that he could continuously unleash attacks of this magnitude.

“Thank goodness his power level isn’t very high! ” “However, this guy, he must be considered a cosmic mutant, right?” “I just don’t know what kind of bloodline he has…”

The universe was vast, and there were quite a few races within it that possessed individuals with immense power.

Without exception, these races all possessed incredibly powerful bloodlines, and their mature members could dominate wherever they went.

At this moment, Du Gang’s appearance greatly resembled those colossal creatures, save for one difference—while he was a huge creature, he was humanoid!

“Regardless, this information should be reported first!”

As the chapter president of the Association in the Wasteland Star Region, it was his duty to relay various pieces of information to his superiors.

At this moment, the branch managers of the other two tertiary factions in the Wasteland Star Region initiated a video call to him.

Once connected, the three of them began to converse.

“Old Hu, what do you think? You’ve seen that giant now, haven’t you? Do you think we can defeat him?”

Hu Xiang shook his head, “Not necessarily. I’ve studied the video carefully.

Initially, Overlord struck the giant with a blow after his transformation. Although he didn’t put forth his full power, the attack must have had at least half of his strength. But in the end, it didn’t even manage to break the giant’s skin…”

“So you mean, we comet-class beings still can’t harm him?”

Hu Xiang pondered for two seconds and then shook his head, “I don’t know. We won’t know until we fight him. But it’s true that his power level isn’t very high. I suspect he has a high-level or even peak-level cosmic bloodline. However, it seems his inheritance is incomplete; he hasn’t grasped the true essence of power…”

In the universe, there indeed exist high-level bloodlines. But these bloodlines are typically passed down through inheritance, and the individuals possessing them would naturally comprehend relevant skills and techniques. However, judging from the giant’s performances, he didn’t seem to possess any techniques.

“The true essence of power… I’ve heard that in the past, there were some people who focused only on strength and not on Star Power cultivation. Do you think he might be related to them?”

“I don’t know, we can’t understand these kinds of people… Anyway, I won’t initiate contact with him until the headquarters issues an instruction!”

The other two thought of Overlord being crunched in the giant’s fingers, and immediately shook their heads. They didn’t want that to happen to them!

When the video of Du Gang destroying half of the satellite was released, the entire Wasteland Star Region was set ablaze.

All platforms and websites having a trending leaderboard were filled with news about the Earth’s giant on this day.

Every happening on Planet Overlord had been uploaded to the internet.

There was a video of Du Gang, in his humanoid form, wrestling with Overlord.

There was a video of him transforming into a giant and first taking on Overlord, and brutally thrashing him.

There was also a video of him wielding a spear and, with a single strike, shattering half of a satellite.

Finally, videos of Overlord surrendering, thousands of warships afraid to land, the signing of agreements upon returning to Planet Overlord, and rushing to toast with various powerhouses were also exposed.

Underneath each of these videos, a heated discussion was taking place.

Everyone was astounded by the giant’s strength.

Everyone was guessing, what exactly was this giant’s race?

“One man, suppressing an entire domain! ”

Without a doubt, in everyone’s heart, Du Gang was that unparalleled figure.

With him here, which force would dare to disrespect him?

Didn’t you see those leaders of second-tier forces all scrambling to offer their toast? Those meteorite-level powerhouses from the first-tier forces didn’t even have a chance to squeeze into the inner circle.

However, there were some who were unreconciled.

“Where are you placing the third-tier forces in your minds?”

“Exactly, if a comet-level powerhouse makes a move, the giant is sure to fall!”

Against this resentful force, netizens refuted with a comment: “Comet-tier is indeed strong, but does he want to be just a ‘lone commander’?”

This left the keyboard warriors online feeling particularly displeased.

But in everyone’s eyes, Du Gang was still not as powerful as a comet-level power, because in that battle, even though his destructive power was astonishing, he could not kill the Overlord!

This was his only weakness, and the reason everyone believed that he couldn’t defeat the comet-level powerhouses!

The Cosmic Civilization Protection Association was compliant and directly issued a certificate of a second-tier civilization to Earth Civilization on the very same day.

However, many people believed that Earth Civilization would become a special existence in the future, the only ‘two-and-a-half-tier’ force in the wasteland star region.

Stronger than all major second-tier forces, but weaker than the third-tier ones!

“What do you think would happen if the giant clashed with the Hall of Gods?” “Ahem, I predict, the Hall of Gods would instigate a divine war…”

Although people in the wasteland star region didn’t dare to offend the Hall of Gods, they were quite bold online.

Because the Hall of Gods couldn’t eliminate nor track the negative comments on the internet.

Faintly, people of the wasteland star region were eager to witness a war between the giant and the Hall of Gods.

Unfortunately, not long afterwards, they received news that the Hall of Gods had sent a gift to Earth Civilization.

Suddenly, many people felt regretful.

Titan Star System.

After Ares returned here, he kept an eye on the happenings in the Overlord Star System.

When he discovered that the Overlord was still alive after such an attack, he realized that the so-called giant was just a castrated version of a pseudo- satellite – level entity.

From the perspective of destroying civilizations, his power was indeed formidable, comparable to the destructive power of a satellite-level entity.

However, his power, oddly enough, couldn’t threaten meteorite-level powerhouses, which made him relieved but also somewhat annoyed.

After all, of all the meteorite-level forces present, he was the only one who had fled in extreme fear.

Although the reason was that those spaceships had just jumped and couldn’t jump again after just a few seconds…

But for him, it was still a disgrace.

At the same time, he also seized Nalan Yanran who was trving to sneak away. “Lord God of War, I thought you wanted to be my godfather, please let me go…” Nalan Yanran, with a terrified face, hoped that their past relations would persuade him to spare her.

Ares shook his head and said, “If you hadn’t followed me back, I wouldn’t have been able to control you. But now, since you have followed me back, it’s out of my hands! ”

He wasn’t lying. Although he was one of the twelve Gods, he still had to obey Zeus and Hera in the Titan Star System.

Hera wasn’t moving, so he didn’t dare casually let Nalan Yanran go. This wasn’t because Hera was the Queen of the Gods.

Rather, Hera had been managing the trivial matters of the entire Titan Star System as the Queen for so many years.

In contrast, Zeus stayed in his secret chamber, cultivating wholeheartedly for higher strength and rarely came out.

No sooner had he finished speaking than God Queen Hera came to his house with a group of people, demanding his prisoner!

“What are you planning to do with her?!” Ares couldn’t help but ask out of remnant feelings.

Hera’s face was calm as she carelessly replied, “Naturally, we’ll send her to

Earth Civilization as a gift…’

Ares frowned and replied, “By doing so, wouldn’t it damage our reputation and prestige in the Hall of Gods?”

Hera shook her head, gazing at him profoundly and calmly said, “Lions never care about the feelings of sheep… and we are Gods, we don’t need to care about how mortals think!”

“Understood!” After hearing this, Ares could only comply, he was more fearful of Hera than Zeus.

Because, before ascending to meteorite level status to become the God of War, he lived under Hera’s ruthless governance.

Seeing that God of War Ares really couldn’t save her, Nalan Yanran panicked.

She screamed loudly, “Don’t send me to Earth, I am valuable, I have a secret, I know a secret about the giant!”

Hera narrowed her eyes, corners of her mouth curving up as she casually said,

“Tell me, what’s the secret!”

“You have to promise me not to send me to Earth, then I will…” Before Nalan Yanran could finish speaking, Hera lashed out at her.

“Bargaining?

She sneered at her personal guard, “Take her away, lock her up in the celestial prison, I want to know all of her secrets…”

The celestial prison of the Hall of Gods?

Nalan Yanran was taken aback, she had heard enough about the horrors of this place.

However, she still didn’t reveal anything about the giant, she wanted to make sure she would be safe before disclosing the secret.

However, what she didn’t expect was that she wasn’t as tough as she imagined herself to be.

Only three hours had passed when, in the celestial prison, the cries of Nalan Yanran in pain could be heard.

“I’ll tell, stop hitting me, I’ll talk…”

Soon, Hera walked into the celestial prison, looked condescendingly at her and said, “Speak, what secret do you hold?!”

Nalan Yanran was on her last breath. Unable to lift her head, she looked at

Hera’s valuable shoes and said, “This secret, I’ll only say in front of the God King, only he is qualified to know…”

Hera squinted her eyes.

She glanced subtly at the people around her and noticed that God of War Ares was among them, suppressing her strange thoughts and nodded, “Agreed!”

Half an hour later, Nalan Yanran’s corpse was brought out from the God King’s palace. At the same time, the order of the God King was also announced.

“Send Nalan Yanran’s corpse to Earth Civilization as a gift…

“Seal the Titan Star System entirely and summon all the gods!”

When the other eleven Main Gods arrived at the Hall of Gods with puzzled expressions.

Zeus didn’t say anything, only his eyes gleaming, he seemed spirited and excited as he announced a single phrase.

“Initiate the war of gods!”
