Free Web NovelChapter 1468: Chapter 484: No Business Alliance
After the interludes of the two Abnormal Objects passed, there was nothing in this Star Region that Bai Yi needed to pay attention to for the time being.
The Gemini’s fleet is responsible for the Chaos Civilization, and she neither needs to nor will be allowed to take action.
Furthermore, to cooperate with the Gemini Civilization in concealing the news and prevent others from noticing the peculiarities of the Chaos Civilization, it was impossible for her to leave the Gemini’s fleet to explore other Star Regions.
In contrast, within the Three Great Civilizations’ domain in the Starry Sky, she has already delayed the Judgment prepared by the Gemini Civilization for her for several days.
It’s time to go back and participate in the Judgment Ceremony first, to finalize the Great Mage’s death and avoid future complications.
Interaction with the Saien Civilization must also be completed before then...
After a brief rest, Bai Yi boarded the spaceship and set off on the road back to the Starry Sky domain.
The Star Region she chose wasn’t far from the official Star Gate of the Three Great Civilizations, and with the time spent on the leap, Bai Yi returned to the long-farewelled Academy Star within just one day.
As soon as she returned to her room inside the giant tree, Shang Ji came to find her immediately.
"Your Highness, after you began your return from the New Star Zone, the Gemini Civilization has agreed with me on the specific time for the Judgment, finally set for three days later.
This is the final location for the Judgment."
Shang Ji shared a coordinate through the network. Before Bai Yi could ask, she continued:
"Also, contact with Saien has been established.
The reaction over there to the Balance image was very intense. If it weren’t for the witch sent to negotiate trying her best to stop them, they would have wanted to come in person.
Additionally, after the member of the Business Alliance in that channel reported up, the Business Alliance quickly established secret contact with me through the same channel.
They hope to learn more about the Balance and are interested in exchanging it back.
Compared to the previous subordinate organization that secretly traded with me, the Business Alliance is much more rational.
However, I’ve temporarily postponed further communication requests.
But if Your Highness initiates communication, it can continue at any time!"
"Very well, help me schedule a time. freēwēbnovel.com
Regarding the Business Alliance itself, what are your thoughts? Is there anything to pay attention to?"
Information and relationship management of these organizations are usually Shang Ji’s work. Bai Yi herself almost only knows the basic information about these organizations.
Even this basic information was collected and placed online by Shang Ji.
In this aspect, Shang Ji is more authoritative.
After contemplating for a few seconds, Shang Ji gave her answer:
"In usual times, the Business Alliance is a standard commercial organization, and everything needs to be prioritized for profit.
Unlike a Believer Organization or a department of a starry sky-level civilization, it’s more like a large company.
And compared to a member of a civilization, they seem to identify more with being part of the Business Alliance.
That’s why I could get those metals after paying the right price.
However, from the communication just now, they seem to identify with each other more as believers.
They are exceptionally loyal to their faith.
Rather than having to retrieve the Balance, they seem to care more about the Balance’s safety.
Your Highness, you can address this aspect during communication.
Moreover..."
Shang Ji hesitantly interrupted herself, her expression turning somewhat uncertain.
"Moreover what?"
"Moreover, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel like the Business Alliance doesn’t genuinely want to take back the Balance.
They just hope to confirm its existence, verify its integrity, and show ’their’ concern for this Balance.
They even seem somewhat resistant to retrieving the Balance..."
After speaking, Shang Ji began to doubt herself.
After all, this almost negates the Business Alliance’s loyalty as a Believer Organization.
Encountering a Divine Artifact lost for thousands of years, they didn’t think of reclaiming it first, but just as a demonstration of their piety, leaving the Divine Artifact in someone else’s hands.
If it were another Divine Believer Organization, they would absolutely be branded as blasphemers immediately.
"Oh? Interesting...
It seems to match the stereotype of the Business Alliance..."
Bai Yi recalled assessments she had received about the Believer Organizations under [Order] since entering the Starry Sky, as well as her own observations.
It appears that these Believer Organizations that worship [Order] generally share a common assessment: lacking high-level Powerhouses.
And for a system that grants Strength to God believers purely based on piety and proximity to the God, the lack of high-level Powerhouses is self-explanatory.
This situation is understandable.
After weighing the options for a moment, Bai Yi made her decision:
"Maintain normal contact with the Business Alliance, and help me search for the specific mythological story of this Divine Artifact back then.
Heh, if they wish to leave the Balance in my hands, that would be a good thing.
They don’t want it, and I don’t want to give it to them!
Moreover, if it’s true, perhaps I can use this Balance as a bargaining chip to negotiate more resources in the future..."
Bai Yi’s lips curled into a mysterious angle, and she had an idea in mind.
She gestured to indicate she had no further requests, allowing Shang Ji to leave and start preparations.
Regardless of whether the Business Alliance’s piety is genuine or feigned, their emphasis on this matter is undoubted.
