Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

Because he received a greeting letter from the company - they used Clipper's will as an opportunity to tell Ash that this might be Clipper's attempt to mediate the conflict between Shurima and the Interstellar Peace Company, so they felt it necessary to have a frank conversation with each other.

Well, the official words sounded very nice, and it was even elevated to the level of Star God fighting for the order of the galaxy. But when Ash realized that it was all bullshit!

Isn't it just a few words when a bunch of nonsense is translated?

——Hey, can we reconcile?

The company wanted to save face, but didn't want to continue fighting with Shurima, so it simply used the matter of the Protectorate as an opportunity.

In this way, as long as Shurima really accepts reconciliation, they can tell the outside world, look, the great Amber King is mediating conflicts, what a great realm this is.

"Mm, these shameless bastards!"

Ash definitely wanted to curse.

Reconciliation? Are you joking at this moment?

If he had some thoughts of reconciliation last time, now it is completely gone.

First, the contradiction has deepened.

Secondly, the empire already has the strength to fight back.

Even if we put aside the support of the genius, they also have the combat power of the three great envoys and the Yaoqing Immortal Boat as an ally, plus a big bug that cannot be mobilized for the time being.

Even if the foundation is still insufficient, having such top combat power is enough to pose a threat to any force in the galaxy.

The company is powerful, and it is even possible that it has hidden several emissaries unknown to outsiders, but they cannot act easily.

Unless the company is really destroyed one day and they become barefoot, they will naturally not care so much anymore.

This process will take a long time. When it really comes to that point, Ash believes that he has enough ways to deal with those guys who are barefoot and trying to fight him.

As for now.

He just wanted to curse, you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are doing this?

The same thing happened with Nanook, all of them were famous and cool, but they targeted his children, which was really shameless.

But some people are indeed very happy about this result.

"Oh my, Emperor, I didn't expect you to have such a rare weapon hidden."

On the Hui Changshi, Odi once again expressed his warm welcome and sincere gratitude to Ash for his arrival.

The wrinkles on his face were almost twisted into a pile from laughing.

The company withdrew, and the strength of Shurima once again proved that his choice was correct. After this battle, no one among the major families dared to question his previous decision.

As for the company, let them figure out what Krippo means first.

That was the Order of Protection, which had a much stronger impact than the appearance of the Order of Destruction. Odi now felt that 40% was too little. He seemed to be able to see the day when Shurima's influence would spread across countless galaxies.

Ruan Mei was also very interested in Dorn becoming the Protector of the Order, which meant that her previous speculation was correct. The children cultivated with the combination of her and Ash's genes did indeed have a great "temptation" to those star gods.

Although the Star Gods are not interested in most things in the mortal world, precisely because of this, if they remove the majority, they will not easily miss out when they encounter something that they are interested in.

She wanted to take all the children out for a walk, but Ash rejected the idea.

Ruan Mei treated this matter more as an experimenter, but Yaxiu was different. He had to consider the impact of this matter. If there were too many chaotic forces within a force, some uncontrollable hidden problems would likely arise.

For example, maybe civil unrest will really break out?

Ash never believed in gifts that came for no reason. He believed that any benefit would be accompanied by corresponding chips, but they were not reflected at the moment.

If twenty envoys really appeared, they would seem very powerful and could immediately increase the power of Shurima by a large margin.

But in the long run, it is a problem to bring together twenty messengers with different destinies, even if they are brothers and sisters.

At least Ash felt that twenty Destiny Messengers were definitely not as stable as twenty Ascendants who all received the power of the sun.

Besides, ascension also has the potential to allow people to step into the ranks of the Order Envoy, but it just hasn't reached that level yet.

Acting too hastily can lead to accidents.

The foundation of the empire must be laid firmly.

The closer it gets to this point, the less anxious you should be and the less you should think you are so great.

When things seem to have a big advantage, that is often when they are about to collapse.

So after the Xianzhou Fleet retreated, Ash did not let the Imperial Fleet pursue them, but instead asked everyone to take it slow and not worry about anything else, and just develop first.

Development is always right.

In addition, the construction of the Imperial Fists is imminent, and Ash has asked Ruan Mei to work overtime to cultivate genetic warriors.

"Are we really only going to need Kane and Dorn? If it's about positional attack and defense, there's another one among the boys who's quite good at it. He's looking forward to meeting you and even has a name for his chapter, the 'Iron Warriors'. When can you come meet him?"

Ruan Mei tried to persuade Ash not to waste the talents of these Primarchs. Although the Star God still had concerns, it was certain that not all children would be noticed by the Star God.

She wondered how much of a splash these kids could make in the galaxy.

But what Ruan Mei didn't know was that her words almost scared Yaxiu.

"Iron Warriors??? Are you sure he named his chapter that?"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this name?"

"This is a serious problem!" Ash suddenly felt like a thousand yellow-skinned people were running through his mind. "...Forget it, it's hard to explain to you. Anyway, I'll think about these genomes again."

"Okay, but I hope you can make a decision soon. These children are all excellent. Because of this, they are eager to meet you and win more glory for the empire."

Under the indoctrination of the Imperial Truth, each Primarch was full of fighting spirit and was eager to join the Imperial cause immediately.

This was especially true after they learned of Kane and Dorn's performance.

They are brothers and sisters who were born together. It doesn't make sense that they can go out to fight while I have to stay behind, right?

Ash could understand the children's thoughts.

After all, these children have inherited his and Ruan Mei's excellent genes, and the desire to bring glory to the empire is engraved in their DNA.

I can only say that it is definitely not the right time yet.

"Md, Iron Warrior, it's amazing that he could come up with this."

Ash shook his head secretly.

After chatting with Ruan Mei, he turned his attention back here.

With the withdrawal of the company's fleet, the bustle of Pinocchio gradually began to return.

For most outsiders, they don't care who is in charge of Pinocchio. What's the difference between company management and family management? We are here to dream, not to buy shares.

Rather, they were excited.

After all, it's rare to see such a funny scene where a company suffers a setback.

The name of the Shurima Empire had already spread before this. Who was the Emperor? The third Emperor of the galaxy, his name was known to all.

Even now, some people who are not from the Shurima Empire will say "Praise the Emperor" when they meet each other to show their surprise and admiration. However, this kind of praise does not represent any loyalty, and most of the time it is just a joke.

So when it was confirmed that Pinocchio would not fight, more and more people came "to see it for themselves", wanting to see what the love-hate relationship between the power recognized by the Preservation Will and the galactic economic overlord who believed in the Preservation Will would eventually become.

If a fight really breaks out between the two sides, who will Cunhu help in the end? Or will he help neither?

Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed. At least in the case of Pinocchio, the evacuating company fleet had no intention of hiding and ambushing. On the surface, they were still trying to reduce the impact of this incident.

As for secretly, after Ash expressed his contempt for the greeting letter, his 'old friend' contacted him again.

"Emperor, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." Diamond said with mixed feelings.

He just made some harsh remarks not long ago, but now he has to come and talk to Ash in a humble manner. How could he, a dignified commander, have ever suffered such injustice?

But this was the decision of the board of directors, and because of the failure of the Pinocchio incident, he was not qualified to refuse it now.

"Diamond, you are an envoy after all. Do you have such no dignity?"

Diamond almost lost his temper at Ash's words.

"... "

"I made it very clear last time, didn't I? I can't let go of the Pinocchio matter, and there can be no reconciliation between Shurima and the company."

"Don't worry, Emperor." Diamond tried to calm himself down. After all, he was also a businessman, so he was always more calm. "I'm not here to persuade you to accept the company's good intentions, but there is one thing you should consider clearly, and that is the Amber King's intentions."

"Ok?"

"In this world, the Star Gods are always illusory and high above mortals. Even for us, the Emissaries, it is extremely difficult to meet the Star Gods. They possess unimaginable strength, and in the eyes of the Star Gods, we, the Emissaries, are nothing more than larger ants."

Diamond said slowly, "Even if the Company possesses power spanning the entire galaxy, the great Amber King can dismantle this overlord with a single word. The same is true for Shurima. No matter how powerful you appear, even if you inflict heavy losses on the Immortal Ship Alliance, we are ultimately ants, ants in the eyes of the Star God."

"Then, have you ever considered the possibility that the Protectorate of Shurima was born as a way for the Amber King to mediate our conflict? He won't say anything proactively, but every action he takes must have a deeper meaning."

What was Creeper thinking? No one knows.

Even the company doesn't know.

But precisely because of this, the unknown represents terror.

Diamond wanted Ash to consider this possibility. If it really happened, the consequences of going against the will of the Star God would be extremely terrible.

"Are you done?" Ash said calmly, even wanting to laugh. "If you're done, go back and prepare. Don't let the Shurima fleet arrive at our headquarters and you come back and say you haven't equipped your weapons yet."

Diamond frowned and said, "Emperor, do you really not care?"

Ash scoffed. "If you could slow down Kripper's hammer by even a second, I'd believe it. It's all just a bunch of 'what ifs' and 'maybes'. Looking back and forth is your business mindset. I'm different. I just keep moving forward."

"Let me guess. If I agree to a settlement, will you then publicize the creation of the Protectorate because Creeper didn't want the galaxy to fall into chaos? The great Amber King benevolently watches over everyone, and then empower a bunch of crazy fans to believe in Him?"

Diamond didn't say anything, but his silence probably confirmed Ash's guess. Merchants always think of the last resort. They even thought about where to hold the reconciliation ceremony.

Unfortunately, Ash did not give the company this opportunity, because he did not believe in the integrity of the people in the company at all. Instead of being an ally that needed to be vigilant all the time, Ash wanted an enemy that was clear and certain.

At least the enemy won't stab you from behind at the critical moment.

"The Third Imperial War," Diamond suddenly said. "I understand the meaning of the name you gave yourself. But Emperor, this galaxy has never been ruled by one person. Unless you have truly reached the level of a Star God, do not attempt to challenge everyone on your own... I probably won't come again next time."

Diamond was tired of being the nice guy every time. He was an envoy after all, so he had to maintain some dignity.

He swore this was the last time.

The conversation between the two ended unhappily.

"Who said I chose this name myself?"

Ash snorted softly and turned back to his own business.

...

Three days later, Pinocchio's condition was completely stable.

Odi summoned all the family managers and stated that the management of Pinocchio would naturally be decided by those who held the majority of shares, but Shurima would not be involved, so he would be in charge from now on.

As for the Starry Sky Train, it is similar to an "honorary shareholder" and only needs to distribute money every year.

The entire train crew had no objection to this, and they gained both fame and fortune this time.

As for the star core in Pinocchio, Ash took it and refined it, but unfortunately, the strength did not increase much. After reaching the fourth level of power, the influence of the star core was very small.

As soon as the shareholders' meeting ended, the Clover Family announced the convening of the Harmonious Hall. However, the dreamland could not be open to the public because many places were still under repair. In the end, Odi chose the Huichangshi as the location.

The celebration was lively, but the liveliness was theirs, and Ash had nothing.

...Well, he wasn't really interested in things like celebrations.

He didn't know when it started, but Ash found that his personality had changed a lot. He now felt that he was out of tune with many environments and often had a sense of loneliness that he "couldn't fit into this world."

In the past, he would get a little excited when he saw the male protagonists in those online novels traveling through time and space to form a harem and having in-depth conversations with beautiful girls, but now he doesn't have any thoughts most of the time.

Otherwise, with his current status, there is no beauty that he cannot charm.

But compared to this, he would not feel excited only when he was immersed in the cause of the empire.

So while things were getting busy on the Hui Changshi, Ash had already started thinking about how to bypass the blockade of the Immortal Boat Alliance and continue the Great Expedition.

After all, it would take time to completely destroy the Xianzhou Alliance. If the company is included, the battle between them may continue into the next Amber Age. Anyway, no matter what, what he is going to do will not change.

However, not long after Ash began his research, a guest came on board the interstellar battleship - the robin.

Of course, this Galaxy superstar did not come to sing for Ash, but wanted to ask Ash for a favor because Sunday was still imprisoned in the company's prison.

In the game, it was the company's Jade who helped him get out of prison, but he was eventually expelled from the family.

As for now, everyone in the company has collapsed and fled, so naturally no one cares about Sunday who is still in jail.

"sure."
