Chapter 1538: Chapter 1538: Dialogue Between Monarch and Minister

The Tianhe Emperor’s expression remained calm as he said, “These are external matters, not that important. You did the right thing. The Tianyang Core is most vital to us. It has already been placed into our Pool of Life, proving its authenticity. I can feel the entire Celestial Harmony Star shining with a glow of rebirth. It won’t be many years before the entire planet transforms completely. Compared to this, those external things are insignificant.”

The Tianhe Prime Minister furrowed his brows slightly and said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, why do you think the Dragon Clan would act this way? Do they have some conspiracy? How could something like the Tianyang Core be handed over?”

The Tianhe Emperor also frowned, saying, “This is something I cannot comprehend either. The Tianyang Core is enough to evolve any planet. Even a barren planet could become a life-bearing one under its rich life energy nourishment. Such an existence can be considered the most precious artifact in the entire universe.”

The Tianhe Prime Minister said, “So until we understand it, we truly cannot take it lightly! Who knows what conspiracy the Dragon Clan might have. We must remain cautious. Perhaps the Dragon Clan and the Sky Horse Clan are trying to bring us in to support the establishment of the Dragon Horse Federation? What should we do if they summon us later?”

The Tianhe Emperor said in a deep voice, “If it’s a goodwill gesture, they should have shown it more clearly, but instead, they took advantage and seized so many of our assets. It doesn’t seem likely. Another possibility is that this Tianyang Core caused trouble for the Sky Dragon Planet and conflicts with their own life core. If that’s the case, it explains why they’d trade it for resources, especially during the crucial time of establishing the Dragon Horse Federation. We’ve lost so many resources, which might weaken our resistance, killing two birds with one stone.”

The Tianhe Prime Minister nodded and said, “This explanation is more reasonable. However, I’m still worried that there might be something wrong with the Tianyang Core.”

The Tianhe Emperor shook his head and said, “No, I’ve carefully inspected the Tianyang Core in the Pool of Life, witnessed by the life core of Celestial Harmony Star. If there were hidden issues, they would certainly be detected. Its life energy is purer than ever, at the highest level. With its nourishment, we can birth more Tianhe Wizards. Plus, with the artifacts you’ve brought back this time, our clan’s rise seems hopeful.”

The Tianhe Prime Minister nodded and said, “Your Majesty, I believe you should quickly use the Sky Horse Meteors and Golden Phoenix Tree to strive for an early breakthrough. Only when you reach the Super God Level can our clan truly emerge.”

The Tianhe Emperor smiled slightly and said, “No need to rush. Just as we’ve assessed, our biggest concern now is whether the Dragon Clan has any hidden means that haven’t been used. We must prepare for anything. Based on our reports from the Sky Dragon Planet, after the auction, the Eight-Armed Demon God King and the Golden Mantis King have both left the Sky Dragon Planet, taking their powerful clansmen with them, whereabouts unknown. We must be cautious.”

The Tianhe Prime Minister was startled, “Are you worried that the Dragon Clan might take action against us? That seems unlikely. They should understand that we have many supporters. If they were to act rashly…”

The Tianhe Emperor said, “Maintaining vigilance is necessary. But the Dragon Clan certainly doesn’t know our full capabilities. The possibility of direct action is slim, but a probing attempt is possible. Mobilize our Tianhe Wizard Group and Tianhe Fleet to be constantly on alert, maintaining the highest war readiness.”

“Understood.” The Tianhe Prime Minister responded sternly.

The Tianhe Emperor said with a glimmer, “I hope I’m worrying over nothing. Yet, there’s always a sense of unease within me. The Dragon Clan isn’t foolish; the Tianyang Core is truly a hot commodity. Yet, we cannot refuse it. We can only hope that our years of foundation will withstand the Dragon Clan’s pressure. After all, they wouldn’t dare act with full impudence against us.”

The Tianhe Prime Minister confidently said, “Our fleet is beyond their imagination. The establishment of the Dragon Horse Federation is a mere joke. No matter their purpose this time, they will not succeed. The ultimate victory will undoubtedly be ours. You will become the ruler of the entire Dragon Horse Star System. Even if the entire system is to be unified, it shouldn’t be the Dragon Horse Federation, but rather the Dragon-Horse Empire led by you.”

The Tianhe Emperor finally showed a slight smile, “I may not see the day of its arrival in my generation. But as long as we constantly strive and govern diligently, one day, the Dragon-Horse Empire you speak of will appear.”

These two highest rulers of the Celestial Harmony Clan exchanged a knowing smile. The Tianhe Emperor rose from his seat and said, “Alright, go attend to your duties. For the coming period, we must be cautious. After this phase, we will both seclude ourselves. You take one Sky Horse Meteor, I take one.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” The Tianhe Prime Minister was overjoyed, respectfully giving a deep bow to the Tianhe Emperor. He had been somewhat concerned initially that the Tianhe Emperor might keep both Sky Horse Meteors—one for himself and one for his descendants. But the Tianhe Emperor did not do so, as expected, giving him one.

Besides his crucial position in the Celestial Harmony Clan, another vital factor is that his family holds control over most of the military’s power. The royal line of the Tianhe Emperor, on the other hand, controls all the Tianhe Wizards.

“Report—” At this moment, an urgent voice suddenly came from outside the hall, startling both the Tianhe Emperor and the Tianhe Prime Minister.

Already worried about the matter of the Tianyang Core, this sudden turn of events immediately heightened their anxiety.

“What’s going on? Why the panic?” The Tianhe Prime Minister shouted angrily.

A messenger swiftly ran into the hall and knelt to the ground, “Report to Your Majesty and Prime Minister. The Dragon Clan, the Secondary Dragon Leader has returned with people.”

“Hmm?” The Tianhe Emperor’s face changed. He exchanged a glance with the Tianhe Prime Minister, and the worry in their eyes noticeably increased.

The Tianhe Emperor said in a deep voice, “Follow me to meet them.”

The Tianhe Prime Minister respectfully replied, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

The one who came to collect payment and resources related to the Tianyang Core previously was this Secondary Dragon Leader, who personally came with members of the Sky Dragon Assembly. After the Tianhe Prime Minister promised the corresponding wealth had been tallied, and the Tianhe Emperor verified the authenticity of the Tianyang Core, they left.

Yet they have returned after just a few days? Could there be unforeseen changes?

For a moment, the anxiety in the hearts of these two leaders of the Celestial Harmony Clan grew stronger.

While walking out, the Tianhe Prime Minister whispered, “Zhong Zhichang’s sudden return must mean something is about to happen. Your Majesty, we must prepare.”

The Tianhe Emperor handed a crystalline translucent token to the Tianhe Prime Minister and said, “I’ll go receive this Secondary Leader. You take the Tianhe Order, go to the Tianhe Wizard Group, and have them ready for any changes. The fleet must immediately move to Level One combat readiness, ready for battle. These arrivals are unfriendly! But regardless, we must confront them appropriately. Prepare the Tianhe Cannon for charging.”

“Yes!” The Tianhe Prime Minister respectfully took the Tianhe Order and hurriedly departed.

All these arrangements were made in preparation for facing a major war.

Escorted by the powerful members of the clan, the Tianhe Emperor proceeded directly to the Tianhe Space Base to welcome Zhong Zhichang and other Dragon Clan experts. Along the way, he dispatched ministers to coordinate with the Tianhe Prime Minister in various preparations.

To his surprise, based on the message report, only Zhong Zhichang and their single warship had arrived. There were no accompanying warships, and the outer space of Celestial Harmony Star, under satellite scans, appeared peaceful. No potential imagined enemies seemed present.
