<h4>Chapter 1293 ck Star Decides How Peaceful the Gxy Is</h4>


    The Guild of Gods’ first Cmity Grade kill remained popr on the forums. yers were talking about it all the time. Although the Temple of God team had gotten quite a lot of me in the past few years, they finally recovered from this first kill. Many yers acknowledged and praised their achievement while feeling curious about the army’s attitude toward this matter.


    Although the gctic society was condemning this incident, the yers did not give a damn. They all saw the post the Guild of Gods posted, which showed the entire incident, and Dafis clearly opposed the army. Plus, the Feeney Civilization protected Dafis first. From the way they looked at it, the Feeney Civilization deserved it and brought it upon themselves.


    However, the condemnation from the outside world did indeed bring trouble to the army.


    Therefore, many yers were waiting to see what the army would do to the Guild of Gods.


    Meanwhile, seeing that the Guild of Gods started it, the otherrge clubs also had the same thoughts.


    Although the first kill was gone, killing a Cmity Grade boss was a disy of a guild’s strength. The way the clubs looked at it, when more and more guilds killed Cmity Grade bosses, it would most likely be one of the basic criteria of bing a big guild. When recruiting new members, if they saw that this guild had not even killed a Cmity Grade boss before, they would instantly be less attracted. Clearly, the big guilds of the various countries did not want to losepetitiveness.


    However, their thoughts were only limited to that for the time being. Since the Guild of Gods did it first, the other guilds were waiting to see how the army dealt with it. They were going to make ns based on the army’s stand. One way or another, they had to fight bosses, only with different methods.


    Observed by many yers, the Guild of Gods’ official ount released a video. The content of it was their conversation with Han Xiao. In just a few minutes, it was pinned to the top manually and received wide attention on the forums.


    The yers were surprised by Han Xiao’s attitude and excitedly discussed it.


    (The Germinal Organization Leader Is Always Watching: No punishment, Old ck is so generous!]


    (Coolest Kid on Aquamarine: Hahaha, I knew the armymander would be sensible. Otherwise, anyone could just hide on colonials after attacking us, and we wouldn’t be able to attack them. This is the right decision.)


    [Princess Feet: The armymander expressed his intention clearly. As long as we don’t go overboard when fighting back, the army will back us up. Nice.]


    [Army Commander’s Big PP: Thank the Guild of Gods brothers for avenging me, amazingly done!)


    (Poseidon: Now this is a reliable leader. Old ck never changed.)


    (Bun-Hit-Dog: I’m new here, is this how he treats his oldrades? I’m so touched.]


    The many yers analyzed and discussed on the forums, confirming ck Star’s intentions.


    Firstly, when the guilds fought bosses, as long as it was an enemy, not only would the army not stop them from doing it, but it would also encourage it to a certain extent. For example, the army could provide some technological support, help them to create an undisrupted environment, and trap the target.


    If they identally caused casualties while fighting bosses, as long as they had a reason such as someone protecting their enemy and they did not overdo it, the army would not punish them. Although ck Star did not clearly state what would be considered overdoing it, with the Guild of Gods example, as long as they did not go beyond that, it would definitely be fine.


    Many Chinese yers were very touched by Han Xiao’s words. As for the majority of yers who joined in theter versions, although they did not have much emotional attachment toward ck Star personally, they still felt good about the army’s way of dealing with the incident.


    Many guilds were also less worried.


    They were worried that the Guild of Gods might be heavily punished, such as getting sealed by the Spacetime Amber. They did not want their guild pirs to face the risk of having their ounts ‘banned and would have no choice but to consider leaving the army. But since the faction’s stand on this was sensible, they did not have to prepare for the worst.


    Over the next ten days or so, the three Universal Civilizations continued to stir up public discussion about the topic. All kinds of verbal condemnations kept increasing. The public wanted the ck Star Army to give them an exnation and get rid of those who were involved.


    However, the ck Star Army remained firm. The ck Star Army could exin how the Feeney Civilization protected Dafis on purpose, but there was no need to. They only stated that they were still investigating the matter and would not give in to such an usation that had zero evidence,pletely ignoring the public opinion the three Universal Civilizations deliberately stirred up.


    The civilizations in the various Star Fields searched for the details through all kinds of channels. None of them believed what the three Universal Civilizations pushed the public to believe easily. They knew that there were definitely some things that were not publicized, and the truth could not possibly be as one-sided as the public believed. However, Burger was indeed attacked. Even if there was more to the incident, thews were indeed vited. Hence, the various civilizations were only watching and did not do anything


    Seeing the ck Star Army’s attitude in this storm, many Star Systems sensed something.


    The Peace Treaty set by the three Universal Civilizations had always been their protection. Anyone who vited thews would be strictly punished. This was one of the key reasons they remained the rulers. For all this time, the ck Star Army had been following thews like a tiger hiding its teeth and ws. The public gradually forgot about just how dangerous this tiger was out of habit... However, in a special time like now, if the ck Star Army no longer followed thews strictly, could the three Universal Civilizations restrain them?


    The answer was clear-hardly, if at all.


    Currently, the three Universal Civilizations had used thews against the association and closed the gctic society toward it. This was much more severe than the punishment of viting thews. However, with that, the three Universal Civilizations had no further method of punishing the association anymore other than to start a war, which the association was not afraid of at all... The various civilizations knew that if the three Universal Civilizations were willing to start a war, they would not have waited this long. In this situation, the various civilizations no longer felt that the three Universal Civilizations had the ability to force the association to follow the gcticws. This meant that the strength of the protection from the Peace Treaty would definitely decrease.


    Of course, judging from the ck Star Army’s attitude, they probably did not intend to openly vite the gcticws. However, as for the things that were in the gray area, ck Star most likely no longer held back. As for the three Universal Civilizations, they would definitely make a decision that caused the least problems for them. As long as the association did not deliberately attack a civilization, the three Universal Civilizations would most likely only make the public condemn them. The three Universal Civilizations doing something about it was not going to happen.


    Having understood these things, many civilizations that answered to the three Universal Civilizations’ call started to hesitate. If the ck Star Army no longer restrained themselves, the effects of thews decreased tremendously. Clearly, continuing to oppose the association was no longer wise. Even if they stood on the three Universal Civilizations’ side, they would only be used and would have to deal with the damage on their own in the end.


    Facing this situation, many civilizations made simr decisions.


    When these two giants fight, we’re the ones suffering. We can’t mess with either side, so it’s better to keep a low profile. Responding to the three Universal Civilizations is one thing, but we’d better turn a blind eye regarding the Beyond Grade A Association’s act of uniting the ck markets everywhere. The three Universal Civilizations can send their own people to stop them all they like. We’re not going to put in as much effort anymore.


    This decision quickly circted between the upper echelons of the various gctic civilizations. Even the Feeney Civilization was no longer as confident when seeing this. When they were interviewed by the media, although they still condemned the act, their word choice became less extreme and more cautious.


    “Cancer of the Universe...”


    Holmes browsed the messages on the quantumwork and had a grave look.


    He was a Cmity Grade super who operated an armed force in the Sea of Star Spirits. He was quite famous in the local Star System.


    Ever since the Burger incident got so big, Holmes had paid close attention to it.


    He hade to know Dafis when he went to the Endless Nebe on business in the past. The two of them became friends and asionally chatted. Because of that, he knew about Dafis’ recent work.


    Inspired by Dafis, Holmes also secretly worked with the local civilization and did what Dafis was doing. Through obstructing the act of uniting the ck market, he obtained resources and benefits from the civilization.


    However, this incident startled Holmes.


    He was not as strong as Dafis. When Dafis messed with the Cancer of the Universe and got chased all the way till he was killed, he became rmed too.


    While secretly obstructing the association, Holmes had killed some Immortals too. He could not help but be afraid of the Immortals grouping up and targeting him. He was not as arrogant as Dafis and did not think he could deal with the revenge of tons of Immortals.


    There were risks to opposing the association to begin with. Holmes only agreed to working with the local civilization because they promised to protect him when needed.


    However, the ck Star Army’s response to the Burger incident scared him. The Cancers of the Universe were very firm about taking revenge, so much so they were willing to vite gcticw. While the ck Star Army refused to admit anything... how useful could the protection the local civilization promised him be?


    “The risk is getting higher. If the Cancers of the Universee to take revenge, my life will be in danger too... I can’t keep doing this.”


    With a worried expression, Holmes took out themunicator and called his contact in the local civilization.


    Very soon, the contact appeared on the screen and smiled respectfully.


    “Your Excellency Holmes, what can I do for you?”


    Holmes cut to the chase and said with a grave tone, “From now on, our partnership will be terminated. I will no longer deal with the association’s men taking over the ck market for you guys.”


    The contact was stunned, surprised. He said hastily, “This is... so sudden. Is there anything you’re not satisfied with in the agreement? We can talk about it. I’ll...”


    Holmes interrupted him and said with a deep voice, “My mind is set. Tell your upper echelons, the partnership stops here. I quit.” As he said that, not giving the contact a chance to reply, Holmes hung up the call right away. He stood up, walked back and forth in the room, and was still a little worried.


    Hesitating for a while, Holmes clenched his teeth and walked toward the dock.


    “I can’t stay in my headquarters. The enemies mighte. I shall go somewhere to hide for some time.”


    In the Central Gxy, the three Universal Civilization leaders’ conference room...


    “Hmm, the ck Star Army’s response is expected. ck Star indeed won’t fall for this.”


    Louis looked at the report from the Public Opinion Control Department and nodded at the other two.


    “Humph, of course. If ck Star was naive enough to respond and sell out his men, he’d be too easy to deal with. We wouldn’t have to put in this much effort.” Marbruce crossed his arms and snorted.


    The Feeney Civilization provided them with an opportunity, and they took it; that was all. They only wanted to damage ck Star’s positive reputation and never expected to force ck Star to obey using the public opinion. That would clearly be daydreaming.


    The church’s pope tapped the table and said, “Although ck Star’s positive reputation is decreasing and we have the moral high ground, he also used this to defuse the locks we had on him, which will only make the various civilizations fear him more. Instead of causing problems for him, it’s be a problem for us.” “Using the cancers of the universe to do the dirty work and intimidate others, what a good n.” Louis frowned. “ording to the intelligence, many Star System civilizations are already unwilling to continue sending people to hold the ck market. Looks like we have no choice but to send our Immortals too.”


    “Hmm, cancers of the universe against cancers of the universe, it’s the most efficient way.” Marbruce nodded.


    The three Universal Civilizations had raised some Immortals too. To them, letting Immortals fight each other was clearly more efficient than spending their direct troops. After all, they would not feel hurt if the Immortals died.


    The church’s pope said with a deep voice, “But the Immortals are very difficult to control and restrain. If they make a mess...”


    The three of them exchanged looks and were all troubled.


    The yers in the three Universal Civilizations were just as difficult to control. They caused quite a number of problems, but the three Universal Civilizations did not have any good methods of dealing with them. They had punished them many times, but some of them just left the faction and joined some other organization. Some even became wanted criminals. Because they controlled these Immortals too strictly, they lost quite a number of them.


    As Version 5.0 began, the strength of the yers started to increase again. The three Universal Civilizations realized the seriousness of the matter too and suspected the Immortals had the potential to be Cmity Grades.


    If that day ever came, the cancers of the universe would be the most suitable opponents for the cancers of the universe. Therefore, they had to have enough Immortals in their hands and could not afford to lose any more of them. Hence, the three Universal Civilizations gave the yers special treatment, not punishing them unless absolutely necessary. However, they still could not stop the Immortals from leaving. The three Universal Civilizations had always been beleaguered by this matter.


    Hence, the three of them were very envious of the ck Star Army. The Immortals who they could not control were already very obedient in the ck Star Army’s hands. In the entire universe, the ck Star Army restrained the Immortals most effectively.


    Now, the ck Star Army showed signs of taking away this restraint, and if it really did it...


    Marbruce shook his head, changed the topic, and said, “Sigh, let’s skip this for now. The most important matter now is to confirm if ck Star can freely use the Sanctum Revival.”


    The other two shook their heads but still looked grave.


    If the ck Star Army’s Immortals continued to grow, it was very likely that in the future...


    ck Star would be the one to decide how peaceful the Gxy was!
