Free Web NovelChapter 637: Chapter 480: Divine Might That Shakes the World
Since yesterday, the topic regarding the results of Earth’s first diplomatic talks with aliens has been nonstop.
Even at three or four in the morning, some netizens were speculating about the outcome of the talks online.
Opinions varied, lacking a consistent view.
This situation continued until this afternoon, around three or four o’clock, with everyone repeatedly discussing one thing.
That is, how many star system resources the Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance will agree to grant to Earth’s civilization.
Many people were waiting for the announcement from the Eternal Star Lord’s office, which included many of Lu Li’s relatives and friends, such as Lu Li’s grandmother, aunt, uncles, and their spouses, as well as friends like Peng Erping and Qin Liang, and of course, his hardcore supporters.
These acquaintances of Lu Li were just a small part of the waiting crowd.
In fact, at this moment, all eight billion people on Earth were paying attention to this matter.
From young children who could slightly understand things to old grandparents in their seventies and eighties.
Everyone was filled with curiosity, wanting to know how much Lu Li, as the newly appointed Eternal Star Lord, could secure for Earth in his first effort to negotiate benefits.
Yes, everyone knew Lu Li’s personal combat power was off the charts and immeasurable, but great combat power doesn’t necessarily translate to strong diplomatic skills.
Naturally, all Earthlings feared that Lu Li’s negotiation skills might be weak and unable to secure many resources.
Billions were watching, and billions were feeling anxious.
"Isn’t it over yet?"
"Didn’t they say the negotiation results should have been out yesterday? Today they’re taking alien businessmen on a casual tour to see if there’s anything worth investing in?"
"Yeah, why aren’t the results out yet?"
"Didn’t you see yesterday’s news? A reporter revealed that a tiny issue emerged during the negotiation meeting, causing a temporary pause, with talks continuing today at three in the afternoon."
"What? A tiny issue during the negotiation meeting? Could it be that the Eternal Star Lord asked for too many star systems, maybe about a hundred or so, angering the Interstellar Alliance, so they’re not only refusing to give them but might also revoke Earth’s Steward Planet qualification?"
"Don’t spread rumors!"
"Exactly, with the Eternal Star Lord at the helm, the Interstellar Alliance wouldn’t dare do such a thing."
"Let’s hope not."
From the online conversations, it’s evident that some people are extremely anxious, worrying about various possibilities.
...
Beijing.
In a somewhat authoritative department.
It seemed the leader had something to attend to and was out.
In the office area, dozens of people were either staring at a well-known portal website on their computers, continuously refreshing, or holding their phones, checking Douyin news to see if there were any results from the talks between the Eternal Star Lord and the Supreme Leader.
"How is there still no news?"
"Ah, I didn’t sleep well last night waiting for this; hurry up and reveal the results."
"The results were supposed to come out yesterday, but I heard the talks ran into some issues, so negotiations extended to today. By the time it should have been settled, why is there still no news?"
"I just saw people online speculate that it’s possible the Eternal Star Lord’s appetite was too large, asking for resources from a hundred star systems, angering the Supreme Leader. This round of talks may very well end on a sour note, and not only will we not get any resources, but we might even lose our Steward Planet qualification. Hopefully, these are just rumors, but even if they’re rumors, I’m still worried!"
A group of people were extremely worried.
Just as they were discussing this.
Suddenly, an overwhelming golden light from outside almost illuminated the entire world!
Such a magnificent and grand golden light, filled with sacred majesty that even ordinary people can sense—creating an awe-inspiring, inviolable authority!
Many people were captivated by the unusual golden light, momentarily stunned and unsure of what had happened, rushing to the windows to look outside.
Looking outside was startling enough.
As they looked, everyone was almost scared out of their wits.
Seen in the sky outside the window were countless pure energy beings in the form of Yang Gods, radiating intense golden light, appearing identical to Lu Li!
These Yang Gods almost filled the entire sky.
At a glance, all one could see were intensely brilliant yet not blinding beams of golden light, making it impossible to discern exactly how many Yang Gods there were.
Despite this, anyone could tell that it wasn’t just a few hundred Yang Gods, but likely thousands upon thousands, or even millions or billions!
As for why there were suddenly so many Yang Gods, anyone could guess that it had to be the work of the Eternal Star Lord.
Silence fell.
The authoritative office area in Beijing suddenly went quiet!
A woman said, "This..."
A young man stared blankly at the endless Yang Gods outside the window, taking a deep breath, and said, "The Eternal Star Lord has reached such a profound mastery, with billions of Yang God avatars?"
Everyone was incredibly shocked.
They had previously heard, during a news conference held by Lu Li, about his training reaching the Yang God Realm.
Now, witnessing the sky filled with so many Yang Gods, they suddenly realized this was likely a transcendent realm of ’billions of avatars’.
A middle-aged man exclaimed in shock, "The Eternal Star Lord manifesting billions of avatars—could this be a display of power towards the aliens? My god, I thought the Eternal Star Lord was negotiating for Earth’s resources verbally, but I didn’t expect him to exhibit such terrifying combat power. Those aliens must be scared out of their minds!"
