Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1401 Negotiation and Compromise
Speaking of the Grand Line, the entire civilization of the two great maritime organizations, the Abyss and the Blue Sea, is now filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The reason was simple: the boundary breakers sent them a peace negotiation message.

The reason why they didn't send messages to human civilization or other civilizations in the Galactic Great Voyage Organization is naturally because the boundary breakers did not have the Galactic Great Voyage Organization's contact information. They did call out to human civilization many times in the form of space broadcasts, but human civilization regarded them as conspiracies and tricks, and directly swept them away by the Lyra.

After this happened several times, the second type of boundary breaker was heartbroken and no longer dared to expose his location by broadcasting.

Left with no other choice, they had to contact the two major voyage organizations, the Abyss and the Blue Ocean, with whom they had been entangled for twenty million years.

However, they did not give the two large shipping organizations a friendly look, but directly stated their purpose: We want to talk, but not with you, but with the string players.

That's right, in the language communication system of the Breakers, they directly translated the Galactic Great Voyage Organization as the String Plucker Organization.

They actually know that the organization that human civilization belongs to is the Galactic Great Voyage Organization, but they just insist on calling it that, which makes it very clear: we obey no one except the String Piercers!

When the news of the Boundary Breakers' desire for peace talks reached the Lyra, Yue Yuan was still sunbathing, lying on the beach.

Of course, it's a simulated sun and a virtual beach.

In reality, human civilization's habitable spaceships contain mountains and rivers, and with current human technology, creating these is not a difficult task. However, the Lyra is a warship, and in combat, in addition to using warp speed as its primary mode of navigation, it also uses conventional propulsion with high inertia. Therefore, it is not suitable to create mountains, rivers, or lakes on a warship.

Those living on warships can only enjoy simulated scenarios.

Fortunately, the simulation is very realistic. If you use your normal human senses to feel it, it is no different from the real thing. However, there are not many people who like this kind of Earth environment now. Only old people like Yue Yuan like this kind of environment.

Upon receiving the message, Yue Yuan, who was lying in the chair, opened his eyes. Without making any movement, a floating holographic screen appeared in front of his eyes, displaying details of the message sent by the Boundary Breaker.

After a quick glance, Yue Yuan reached out and wiped the holographic screen away, along with the scene of "the sun in the sky, blue sky, white clouds, and a large beach".

Advanced technology is so convenient. If people in ancient times saw him doing these things, they would definitely think he was an immortal.

Leaving the beach scene, Yue Yuan floated directly back to his workplace and entered the virtual meeting room to discuss the matter with others.

When he arrived at the hall, representatives from other civilizations were already in place, including the Abyss Civilization, the Kroll Civilization, the Blue Ocean Civilization, and other distinctive technological civilizations of the Galactic Great Voyage Organization.

This is an intergalactic communication system established by the Abyss Civilization. It relies on quantum entanglement base stations as relays to enable people to hold meetings and communicate in different galaxies. There is some delay, but it is not a big problem.

Upon seeing Yue Yuan and the delegation of human civilization appear, the leader of the Abyss Civilization immediately got into the swing of things and said, "The String Piercers have arrived, so let's begin. I believe everyone has seen the news: the second type of Boundary Breakers have finally relented and opened up for negotiations. We believe this is not a delaying tactic, and we should accept the negotiations."

At this point, the leader of the Abyss Civilization looked at Yue Yuan and said, "Of course, we also need to consider the opinion of the String Players. We all know that the Boundary Breakers were actually forced to negotiate with us because they were intimidated by your power."

Seeing the Abyss Civilization say this, Yue Yuan felt it was a bit of flattery, so he said, "Well, you can't say that. Victory is the result of the joint efforts of our three great voyage organizations. Each civilization paid a huge price. It was our unity against the outside world that made the Boundary Breakers back down." After saying a few polite words, Yue Yuan got straight to the point: "We have read the peace negotiation message sent by the Boundary Breakers, and we also believe that peace negotiations are acceptable!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Abyss Civilization, Krol Civilization, and Blue Ocean Civilization teams visibly breathed a sigh of relief, as they had feared the String Player would disagree.

After 20 million years, they finally have a chance to reach the edge of the Great Hollow, and they really don't want to miss this opportunity.

"but."

A sudden shift in tone instantly drew the attention of several civilization representatives to the human civilization team. Yue Yuan continued, "However, we cannot directly accept the peace terms proposed by the Breakers. Look at what these are! Oh, what about no more military conflict with us? What about temporarily handing over the right to use the stargate from the 712 Galaxy to the edge of the Great Void Galaxy? And this... the Breakers' habitat remains unchanged. To make such demands, it seems we haven't been beaten hard enough."

what? !

The leaders of the Abyss, Blue Ocean, and Kroll civilizations were all taken aback by Yue Yuan's words, thinking that the string player was going to continue fighting.

The leader of the Abyss Civilization hurriedly reminded them, "The Boundary Breakers cannot be completely eliminated. Their submission this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We..."

"Don't be impatient."

Yue Yuan waved his hand, then pointed out several unreasonable points in the information about the World Breakers, and then explained: "Of course we know that the World Breakers cannot be completely eliminated, but the terms of the peace talks cannot be dictated by them. Look at these clauses, where is the logic? What does it mean that the World Breakers' habitat will remain unchanged? Doesn't that mean that they can launch an attack on us at any time?"

"We'll set the conditions, and I'll state three points. First, all Breakers must withdraw from the Grand Line, and no Breakers are permitted to exist in any star systems directly connected to the Grand Line. Second, Breakers must acknowledge that ownership of the star systems along the Grand Line routes we've marked belongs to our three major maritime organizations. Third, from the moment this agreement takes effect, all subordinate civilizations of the Breakers must disarm, and none of them may develop or manufacture sub-civilization-level warships. Fourth, Breakers must accept our probes' right to freely navigate within the two star systems directly connected to the Grand Line, while also accepting our supervision. They are prohibited from setting foot on the Grand Line, and even more so from gathering more than one hundred million high-level Breakers; otherwise, it will be considered continued provocation."

Yue Yuan said three points, but actually he said four.

The Abyss, Blue Ocean, and Kroll civilizations all felt that these four points were a bit excessive, and the Boundary Breakers might not agree. They worried that sending these conditions over would reignite the war. However, seeing that the several distinctive technological civilizations present from the Galactic Great Voyage Organization all agreed, they didn't say anything.

They underestimated the powerlessness the Breakers felt in the face of the "String Pluckers".

When these conditions were sent, the boundary breakers did not immediately agree, but they did not strongly object either. They just felt that it was a bit excessive to ask all boundary breakers to withdraw from the star systems related to the Grand Line, because those were their habitats for billions of years, and it would take a very long time to completely withdraw them.

The fourth point is that they felt it was unacceptable to allow detectors to arbitrarily monitor their territory.

To be honest, these two conditions are indeed a bit excessive for the Breakers, but if these two conditions are not guaranteed, the three major long-range shipping organizations will certainly not dare to carry out the "Great Long-Range Transformation" of their fleet structure with peace of mind. After all, this is the Breakers' territory. If the Breakers suddenly launch a counterattack while they are transforming, it would be a tragedy.

Therefore, the Galactic Grand Expedition Organization responded resolutely: if you disagree, we will continue to fight; if you do not give way, we will push forward ourselves and open up the Grand Line until we believe that your existence can no longer affect us.
