A Colossus rushes in at the start

Upon meeting the true god who had not responded for over two hundred years, Stiyl was not only shocked but also overflowing with excitement, which he could hardly contain.

"Great God, I have always followed your divine decree and lived well, and now I have finally seen you again." Upon seeing the true God again, Stiyl was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

Saving civilization from peril and turning the tide to create a new world, Stiyl, as one of the witnesses to the great war between the Outer Gods and the planetary creatures, was already impressed by such achievements and greatness. In addition, distance makes the heart grow fonder, and the constant idealization of his thoughts over the past two hundred years has made Stiyl a fanatical believer of the "God of the Planets," completely regarding the planetary creatures as guardian deities protecting the people of Prann.

"You've developed very well; it looks much better than the ruins it was before."

The planetary being, suddenly summoned and unsure how to respond, recalled its mainframe's recent praise of the Pulan civilization's prosperity, and casually remarked...

"You flatter me. The current prosperity is the result of your protection back then." Stiyl was flattered by the praise. It was undoubtedly a great honor for the people of Pulan to have their development recognized by this true god.

Ah, that familiar sense of warmth. Even in his confused state of mind, his love for us Pulan people remains undiminished. He is indeed the true god... Stiyl couldn't help but recall the first time he came into contact with the true god more than two hundred years ago.

Just as Stiyl was reminiscing about the past, an untimely voice joined in.

"I didn't bring you here to spout nonsense. Hurry up and explain. We have serious business to discuss," Lu Shang urged the planetary creature.

Upon hearing this man's disrespect for his true God, Stiyl felt a surge of displeasure, but after learning some things from the planetary beings, this displeasure quickly vanished.

The planetary creatures didn't mention the existence of the bee swarm, only giving a general overview, allowing Stiyl to roughly understand Lu Shang's identity.

There is more than one great true god; their numbers are numerous, more than the sand on the home planet of the Pulan people. And the one who manages such a vast number of true gods is this seemingly ordinary Pulan person in front of him. Hiss... Stiyl couldn't help but gasp. He never dreamed that the true god he had worshipped for over two hundred years was just an insignificant one in a huge group.

Not to mention that such a huge and terrifying group is actually controlled by a single entity.

"The ruler of the true gods..." Stiyl looked at Lu Shang in disbelief, muttering to himself in awe.

"The ruler? Although there is a difference in essence, you can think of it that way if you want." Lu Shang said dismissively. He had heard plenty of praise, such as creator, master of all things, etc., and he was no longer impressed by it.

Now that their identities were understood, communication became much easier, and Lu Shang and Stiyl got down to business.

"You should also know that I didn't come here for no reason."

Upon hearing Lu Shang's pointed remark, Stiyl, who wasn't stupid, immediately understood.

The rulers of the true gods certainly wouldn't come to their home planet, the home planet of the Pulan people, for no reason. There must be something they need them to do.

"We, the people of Purang, are willing to serve the true gods. What is it?" Steel asked respectfully.

Lu Shang didn't mince words, stating directly: "Do whatever you want, follow our orders, and act as our agents in this universe. In exchange, we will protect your civilization from destruction."

Stiyl felt a chill run down his spine, but he wasn't stunned by this sudden windfall. Becoming an agent of the true gods was undoubtedly a huge benefit, but huge benefits always come with huge risks. So, he calmly probed, "The true gods possess such terrifying power, why do they need us?"

Lu Shang replied, "We have other reasons why we can't stay in the universe. Although it's not impossible to handle things in the universe this way, it's still not very convenient. It would be much easier to select a group of civilizations that can work for us."

"I didn't know you Pulan people existed. It's your civilization. After the God of Balls learned about this, he strongly recommended your civilization to me, which is why I came back this time."

Under the bewildered gaze of the planetary creatures, Lu Shang lied quite naturally.

The planetary being, feeling unjustly blamed, was alerted by its external entity within the psionic network universe via a swarm network.

Planetary Creatures: Um, I didn't recommend the Pranners...

Lu Shang: Shut up, I'm talking about serious business.

Planetary creature: Oh.

Unsure of what Lu Shang was thinking, Stiyl was deeply moved when he heard that it was the True God who had strongly recommended the Pulan people, which led to the True Gods' ruler choosing them... It turned out that even after the True God left, he had not forgotten them and had been working hard for the continuation of the Pulan people.

Judging from his excited appearance, if he were a human, Lu Shang had no doubt that the other party would kneel down and kowtow to the planetary creature on the spot.

With "God of Balls" as their credential backing, the Pulan people accepted Lu Shang's deal without any psychological burden.

They work for the swarm in this universe, obeying the swarm's instructions completely, but in return, the swarm provides protection for their civilization.

But as the conversation progressed, Stiyl became hesitant.

"Great Ruler, we, the people of Pulan, have been saved by the true God and are willing to serve Him. However, our strength is truly limited, and there are some things that we may not be able to accomplish well..."

Stiyl thought, what if the true gods asked them, the people of Prann, to do something they were completely incapable of doing? If they couldn't accomplish it, wouldn't that anger the true gods?

"That's just a minor matter. A normal civilization will always grow and thrive. We value your future, not your present. We will only ask you to do what you are capable of," Lu Shang said.

Hearing this, Stiyl, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

……

The negotiations were pleasant, the communication was easy, and the agreement between the bee colony and the Pulan people was thus completed through a simple exchange between the core members of both sides.

This isn't about winning small, medium, or big; it's about both sides having a bright future.

The bee swarm has acquired a cooperative and capable pawn, and the Pulan people have found a very, very powerful patron.

Both the land entropy and the planetary beings have left the psionic network universe.

"Won't their civilization's growth and expansion really hinder the swarm's plans?" The planetary creatures were somewhat puzzled.

As civilizations develop and grow, they inevitably expand and conquer more territories, thus impacting the plans of the hive.

"As long as they are obedient enough, they won't be a problem," Lu Shang said.

The swarm doesn't reveal its plans easily, but as long as the civilizations it uses as pawns are obedient, the swarm can allow them to develop in a way that doesn't affect its plans.

"What if they don't obey?" the planetary creature asked.

Lu Shang smiled and said, "Then let's find a more obedient one to work for the swarm. There are many disobedient civilizations, but there are also quite a few obedient ones."
