Hearing Jing Yuan's explanation, Fu Xuan's expression softened, and his mood improved considerably.
"Alright, General, is there any need to say more? I don't care about such trivial matters. Let's focus on the important things."
As Fu Xuan spoke, he looked up and scanned the round table.
"Naturally, naturally."
Jing Yuan smiled and turned his head to the side, lowering his voice: "Fu Qing, what were the results of the Qiong Guan Formation's deductions before we came?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan's expression immediately became serious:
"It's terrible. After receiving the company's intelligence, I cast a divination for Onfaros. The hexagram is between Kan and Li, water above fire, which is a very ominous sign."
According to the Qiong Guan Zhen's calculations, the disaster spilling out from Naonfaros has now reached the level of an Envoy, and the surrounding star systems have already suffered irreversible damage.
Once that Iron Tomb is created, the entire universe will be plunged into a tremendous crisis.
Jing Yuan's eyes showed a thoughtful expression: "In that case, do we have a chance to stop the birth of the Iron Tomb?"
"I'm afraid that won't work. Based on all the possibilities deduced from the Qiong Guan Formation, the birth of the Iron Tomb is inevitable."
"This Milky Way is truly... going through a turbulent time."
Jing Yuan sighed softly.
"General, since attacking the Iron Tomb is inevitable, how to fight the battle, who will be in charge of command, who will be in charge of the assault, and who will coordinate the aftermath are all issues that need to be discussed. I think the company invited us for the same reason."
"Fu Qing and I share similar views."
Jing Yuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping around the round table.
"Those present are all world-renowned forces: corporations, the Academy of Knowledge, the Genius Club, the Star Train, the Sea Rangers, and even a branch of the Asdna family..."
A strange light flashed in Jing Yuan's eyes: "It's really rare to see such a gathering of people."
"The Immortal Ship has always established itself through martial prowess. The light of the Emperor's Bow is known throughout the Milky Way. If we were to end up as a detached force, it would tarnish the Immortal Ship's reputation. Furthermore..."
Jing Yuan paused, his tone leisurely:
"Before I arrived, the Marshal and the Ten Kings entrusted me with something: this Iron Tomb contains what my Immortal Ship seeks. Fu Qing, we'll act according to the circumstances later."
Fu Xuan nodded slightly: "General, you are very thoughtful. If you have any requests, you will surely have something to offer. I'm afraid I'll have to spend a lot of time explaining when we get back."
The little diviner sighed slightly, looking somewhat tired, but she put on a brave face.
Being a general isn't an easy job.
"Don't worry, I'm here, so you don't need to trouble yourself."
After a thorough examination, General Shence was clearly very satisfied, and he smiled and gestured towards the empty seat in the main seat.
"The key is still there."
Fu Xuan followed his gaze and saw that the main seat was empty, with only place cards on the table, which indicated the company's location.
"The biggest variable is that the company hasn't sent anyone yet. Fu Qing, why don't you guess who the company will send this time?"
"...Regarding all matters concerning the Iron Tomb and Destruction, the company's Strategic Investment Department has always been the one to act as a go-between."
In my opinion, given the company's style, the most likely representatives for the campaign against the Great Lord of Annihilation would be one or two members of the Stone Heart Ten, or... it would be expected that the Diamond himself would attend.
"Oh? What strategy do you think the company will adopt?" Jing Yuan remained noncommittal.
"I suspect the company won't try to seize control of the coalition. Based on my understanding of their business style, they'll probably take a step back to move forward, pushing the coalition's responsibilities and title onto them while they reap the benefits from behind."
"I say, Fu Qing's insight is brilliant!"
Jing Yuan smiled without saying a word, and was about to give some more instructions when the noisy sounds in the arena suddenly subsided.
I glanced at the time; most of the participants had arrived, and the joint meeting was about to begin.
..........
As the room gradually quieted down, all eyes turned to the company's seats.
"Why haven't the company people arrived yet? This is such a big event, why are you putting on airs?"
"Exactly, they send out invitations one after another to invite us to the meeting, but they themselves are the last to appear. As expected of a company, they really know how to make a show of themselves."
"Ha, I'd like to see who exactly is the company's representative, that they can suppress so many important figures here."
The whispers had barely begun when suddenly, lights and shadows appeared on the company's workstations. Figures materialized in the seats towards the back on both sides.
To the left, the short-haired girl glanced around, then sat up straight, her expression meticulous.
Many people recognized him as Toppa, the director of the company's strategic investment department and a young force among the ten members of Stoneheart.
To the right, a woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat slightly raised her chin, a remarkably composed smile playing on her lips. She exuded an aura of absolute authority.
Emerald, from the Strategic Investment Department, is one of the ten most senior members of Stoneheart, a senior executive at the P46 level in the company, and no one dares to underestimate him.
"I didn't expect the company to send them as representatives."
"Emerald and Toppa are both here... Could it be that Diamond, the head of the strategic investment department, is personally present in the middle?!"
"It should be."
All eyes turned to the seat in the center, and a moment later, a figure appeared out of thin air.
The moment it appeared, the whispers on the field vanished without a trace, and those who had been watching the spectacle immediately disappeared.
Upon seeing the young face that appeared, many people instinctively sat up straight, then couldn't help but gasp!
This face, without a doubt!
From the fairy boat to the train, from Pinocchio to Apsseron, from ordinary people to geniuses, the name of the person in front of me is known to everyone!
Before them stood a board member of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, head of the Statistics Department, and an absolute high-ranking executive at the P48 level.
Lin Yuan, the protector of the world, the number one person below the Star God, and the universally recognized protector of the world with the greatest killing power!
Lin Yuan sat down casually, his expression calm.
He glanced around at the expressions of shock on the faces of the people before him, some subtle and some overt, and nodded slightly.
"Gentlemen, now that everyone is here, let's begin the meeting."
................
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's voice, everyone present composed themselves and sat up straight.
Before they arrived, they might have been representatives of a major power in the world, or honored guests of various civilizations.
But in front of this person, all those sources of pride pale in comparison.
Whether in terms of power or strength, this young man has already stood at the pinnacle of the entire world.
He was second only to the gods and above all others.
If the representatives at the round table acted this way, the powerful figures at the vice-chairs' seats dared not even breathe loudly.
They only dared to cautiously observe the field, their hearts filled with either excitement or a sense of pride in sharing in the glory.
Sitting next to Lin Yuan, Toppa looked at this scene with a hint of envy.
She often issues orders to her subordinates at the company and is treated with respect by various powerful forces, but that is nothing compared to the imposing presence before her.
Lin Yuan didn't care about what the others were thinking. He glanced around the room and a smile appeared on his face.
There were many familiar faces present. Big Black Tower represented the Genius Club, and Lao Jing represented the Immortal Boat... Oh, even the Luo Fu master is here?
The Society of Knowledge sent Professor Latio, the Doctor of Truth, this time; the rest... were unfamiliar faces.
Noticing the look from Emerald beside him, Lin Yuan nodded, signaling her to begin chairing the meeting.
..........
"Gentlemen, we have gathered here today to discuss the issues of Onphalus and the Iron Tomb."
Jade manipulated the bracelet, projecting the information in front of everyone.
"Time is of the essence, so I'll keep it brief. Let me share some information with you all first."
"With fourteen systems remaining before the Iron Tomb's coronation, we must immediately establish an anti-Iron Tomb Galactic Alliance to deal with this crisis."
The room fell silent for a moment as everyone looked down at the information.
"Furthermore, prior to the meeting, the company commissioned the Bo Shi Society to conduct a special study. Professor Ladio, could you share the latest developments?"
To make everyone present understand the seriousness of the situation, Jade spoke up and asked a question.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Truth nodded slightly, his voice clear and melodious:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you of some bad news. It has been discovered that the Iron Tomb virus, which is currently spreading, does not only infect inorganic life; its outbreak will destroy the cosmological constant anchored to intelligence. In other words..."
"If the Iron Tomb is successfully crowned, all logical laws in the galaxy that are based on intellect will be transformed into chaos, and this act will completely shatter the existing foundation of civilization in the galaxy."
Ladio's voice was calm, yet just like his name, it was like a cold scalpel, dissecting the hidden hopes in everyone's hearts.
Upon hearing this, those who were unaware of the situation were immediately filled with horror and panic, while those who were aware of the situation felt an unusual sense of unease.
"However, there is also good news... By solving the program, if the equation can be kept below a certain order of magnitude, we are confident that we can harmlessly translate the spillover virus, that is, a digital vaccine."
"What scale?"
Many people's eyes lit up, and they quickly pressed for more information. If a vaccine could be developed, this crisis could be averted!
However, Dr. Truth's voice remained as cold and stern as ever:
"Commander-level, but unfortunately, according to calculations, Commander-level is only the starting point of Iron Tomb. Once it is crowned, we will be powerless against those above Commander."
The glimmer of hope had just been ignited when it was extinguished in despair.
Before arriving, no one expected that during a meeting they would learn that the Galactic Civilization was about to face annihilation. Panic immediately gripped the room.
"Everyone, the situation is now very clear."
Jing Yuan's warm voice suddenly rang out, dispelling some of the gloom.
"The only way to stop this crisis now is to destroy the Iron Tomb of the Annihilation Lord and nip it in the bud."
The hunting party's sharp edge is willing to assist everyone. The Immortal Boat Alliance will join the anti-Iron Tomb Galactic Alliance. Currently, both the Yaoqing and Luofu Immortal Boats are about to arrive at the front line.
After General Shence finished speaking, he looked around and finally looked at Lin Yuan with a gentle smile.
Lin Yuan exchanged a glance with him and nodded. Old Jing was still very helpful.
"Thank you, General Jingyuan. Faced with the threat of destruction, the cause of preservation needs like-minded individuals to join us. Our company is willing to fight alongside the Immortal Boat Alliance."
