Xi Weng hurriedly sent a call request to Manina III, and it connected promptly.

In Manina’s vehicle Sun One, a golden light rained down from the top of the cabin, creating a realistic 3D holographic projection inside.

Several God-Level figures were in the projection.

“Manina, what brings you here?” asked Manina III, who appeared in the projection with a smile on his face.

Manina was about to speak, but he was taken aback by the figures in the projection.

Those present in the projection included God-Level figures such as Manina III, Pu Langte, Sidim, Cecilia, and all seven God-Level members of the Skru race.

The reason those God-Level beings could return from Blue Star was because Cao Cao had made it to Skru Star.

Since Cao Cao had arrived, Blue Star Humans wouldn’t be able to attack the Spiritual Spring Eye. The remaining high-ranking figures from Blue Star could manage with the standard defenses of their base, so all seven God-Level beings came back with confidence.

The Dragon Emperor Kadrigos was not among those pursuing Cao Cao, and had conveniently used a family matter as an excuse to leave, an excuse that Pu Langte and others did not dispute.

That was not what shocked Manina. What truly surprised him was- Cao Cao was standing less than 50 meters away from those seven God-Level figures!

Cao Cao was looking at him with an intrigued expression, appearing quite amiable.

…

When the surprise on Manina’s face did not go unseen by Manina III, he immediately understood what had surprised him.

“I’ll explain the matter regarding Cao Cao later. First, tell me why did you call me?” he said with a calm smile.

Manina XIII quickly composed himself and said, “Ancestor, just recently, news of ‘Cao Cao appearing on Skru Star’ has been vastly spread on the internet, causing widespread public panic.”

“Yes, and then?”

“From what I gather, this information was released by Beak Country’s Chairman at Cecilia’s behest. I am curious as to why she did that.”

Saying this, Manina fixed his gaze on the projected image of Cecilia.

Before Cecilia could explain, Manina III interjected, “Oh, you mean that? I had her release the information.”

Manina III seemed quite unperturbed, as did the six God-Level beings beside him, including Cao Cao who stood not too far behind.

“You?” uttered Manina XIII in disbelief.

Had his ancestor lost his mind? Why spark panic among the citizens?

“Haha, don’t get excited, Manina. In fact, this was Pu Langte’s suggestion…”

Manina III laughed heartily as he began explaining the whole situation.

It happened like this—

Starting from the previous day, seven Skru God-Level beings had intensely hunted and stopped Cao Cao.

However, due to Cao Cao’s self-created spell “One Leaf Blinding,” which had a highly prioritized status, they had not been able to stop him. They were engaged in a “hide-and-seek” game on the wildlands, even proper bouts were rare.

After being hunted for a day, Cao Cao felt that the situation was undesirable.

If he kept playing cat-and-mouse with Skru people, he wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything in the following days, meaning his visit to Skru Star would be pointless.

The seven Skru God-Level beings also felt that dragging the situation on wasn’t doing any good.

“One Leaf Blinding” combined several elements of Holy Silver spells, which they couldn’t crack. This meant that they would be at a stalemate with Cao Cao for a long time.

Moreover, the most frustrating part was they couldn’t force Cao Cao into a corner.

Currently, their movements were restricted to the wildlands, posing no threat to Skru’s populated areas.

If they pushed Cao Cao into a corner, and he started creating havoc in the large cities of Skru people, such as Sun City or Trenya City, the death toll could be unimaginable!

Since they couldn’t catch up with Cao Cao, and they couldn’t force him into a corner, fighting with one’s hands tied was the last thing the seven God-Level beings wanted.

As neither party felt the situation was beneficial, they naturally had a reason to negotiate.

During a brief respite from the chase, Prime Minister Cao Cao proactively proposed for negotiations, which the seven Skru God-Level beings readily agreed to.

We won’t delve into the details of the negotiation. In the end, both parties agreed to an oral agreement:

Firstly, Cao Cao must not enter the Skru populated areas and harm ordinary Skru civilians. Not just Cao Cao, the same applies to all other sixth-level Blue Star cultivators; they cannot massacre Skru civilians;

Secondly, in return, the seven Skru God-Level beings would stop persecuting Cao Cao, and effectively immediately, the pursuit of sixth-level Blue Star cultivators active on the wildlands will be called off.

Both parties were satisfied with this agreement and so, it was verbally settled.

…

Having heard his ancestor’s account, Manina nodded in understanding.

This verbal agreement was quite favorable for the Skru people. Manina’s greatest concern was that Prime Minister Cao Cao might wreak havoc in densely populated areas, causing mass casualties.

With the mass death of civilians, anti-war sentiment among the public would be heightened. If Cindy Doppler were to fuel this sentiment further, the pressure created could be strong enough to shatter the coalition government.

So, he found the verbal agreement fairly acceptable.

But…

Manina was still puzzled. “Ancestor, this verbal agreement has nothing to do with you asking Cecilia to publicly announce Cao Cao’s whereabouts, right?”

Even if Cao Cao didn’t go to the Skru populated areas and posed no threat to the lives of ordinary civilians, there was no need to publicly announce his existence. It’s better to avoid unnecessary complications.

Manina III waved off his concern, saying, “This was Pu Langte’s idea. He said that just coming out of seclusion, I need to reestablish my authority.

“I have been in seclusion for 50 years, a lot of people don’t recognize me anymore.

“I need people to remember me again, and this is a great opportunity.”

Manina III was not looking to gain fame, but the Raging Sun royal family’s cultivation method revolved around “Faith Power.” The larger the territory, the more the population, and the more that hold the Raging Sun royal family in reverence, the stronger the Raging Sun royal family becomes.

Manina III intended to use this opportunity to collect a surge of “Faith Power.” Otherwise, his prowess would gradually decrease over time.

If his strength drops back to high God-Level, it would spell disaster.

“I see.” Having heard this, Manina finally understood.

His ancestor must have planned to spread panic first, then once the panic had fermented to a certain degree, announce that the situation had been resolved.

This way, the people of Raging Sun and even many Skru people would revere him as a guardian god, and he could amass “Faith Power” hundreds of times more than usual!

This was an old trick of the Raging Sun royal family.
