Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 390 Union
18 people!
All in the top 20!

This alone demonstrates the absolute dominance of the Illusion Clan over that battlefield!
but……

The fact that there are only 18 people in this group shows the absolute dominance of the group's top experts!
Only by reducing the number of people can resources be concentrated on a very small number of individuals, thus creating qualified top-tier experts.

"Isn't the one you ultimately need to confront the Mayan Temple Master?"

Ji Fuyou stepped forward and asked.

"No, it's that strange dragon."

Lynn's eyes still held lingering shock: "The Illusion Clan consists of 18 people, each possessing the power of transformation and metamorphosis. They can transform into powerful beasts and monsters..."

"Transform into strange beasts or demons?"

"Yes, I heard that Xuan Guang, the leader of the Illusion Clan, after realizing the strength of his competitors, chose to pledge allegiance to that strange dragon. After gaining sufficient understanding of the dragon, he transformed into it and, in his dragon form, actively controlled those strange beasts and monsters, relentlessly hunting down all the contestants, and ultimately..."

Lynn took a deep breath: "Except for those who were extremely well hidden, the entire battlefield has been wiped out. I estimate that there are fewer than 500 survivors..."

Ji Fuyou was somewhat surprised to hear this.

It wasn't an accident; the cruelty of the Illusion Clan...

In the Heavenly Ranking War, being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself.

To his surprise, they were not fighting against the Mayan temple master.

At that moment, he turned his gaze to Tie Muxuan: "In your war, the monster you ultimately need to kill is not the Mayan Temple Lord?"

"No."

Tie Muxuan said in a deep voice, "We are fighting against a corpse demon that wields the power of lightning."

After saying that, he shuddered: "The lightning of that Corpse Demon King swept across the battlefield. Not to mention a fifth-order Martial Saint, even a sixth-order Martial Saint would find it difficult to withstand! Wherever the lightning struck, large numbers of competitors fell down... The scene was almost despairing for us fifth and sixth-order Martial Saints."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuyou turned his gaze to Lynn: "You should know what the consequences of a civilization's defeat are. Your civilization will become the spoils of the victorious civilization, suffering their invasion and plunder! And Black Gold is not far from our Great Shang; we belong to the same planet. If they invade you, we will inevitably be affected as well!"

He said in a deep voice, "Therefore, I need you to calmly recall all the information about the Illusion Clan so that we can know ourselves and our enemy, and avoid your civilization from ultimately heading towards destruction!"

"I...I know..."

Lynn quickly responded.

Linton and Yang Xing, who were standing nearby, also expressed their support: "Chairman Ji, please rest assured, we will urge him to provide you with all the information you want."

The war of the Heavenly Rankings was lost, and civilization was invaded.

Especially since the Illusion Clan sounds so powerful.

In this situation, the Black Gold Empire's only way to preserve its legacy is to cling tightly to the Great Shang Federation.

They have made their decision: upon returning, they will consult with the imperial leadership to further deepen cooperation with the Great Shang Federation, prioritizing over overcoming the current crisis.

"A defeated civilization can merge into other civilizations, thus allowing its civilization to continue to survive, but in return, that other civilization will bear the consequences of its defeat..."

Fang Qiyun, standing to the side, said with some helplessness, "We and the Black Gold Empire both belong to the Crimson Star. This entanglement of cause and effect is so deep that it cannot be severed. I'm afraid we have no choice but to take action."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

Not only Black Gold, but also the Griffin that only had one Ironwood Pavilion left was in the same situation.

At this moment, Tie Muxuan also stepped forward: "Chairman Ji, just as we guessed, there are only 26 months left before the start of the next Heavenly Ranking War. In 26 months, facing an even more dangerous war of civilizations, our Griffin Republic can only hope to survive by giving it our all. Since we are not going to the same region, the only way for us to grow rapidly is to rely on the Void God Realm..."

"and many more!"

At this moment, Ji Fuyou noticed a crucial point: "You just said, 26 months!? Your next Heavenly Ranking War will begin in 26 months!?"

Tie Muxuan was somewhat surprised.

Wasn't this information already obtained?
Yes, 26 months.

He nodded.

Ji Fuyou and Fang Qiyun exchanged a glance.

The Griffin Republic is 26 months old!

them……

Nearly 32 months!

They belong to the same star, yet the Heavenly Ranking War didn't start at the same time!?

"Captain, could it be that..."

Fang Qiyun seemed to realize something, a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't..."

Ji Fuyou did not admit it.

But he already had a premonition.

In their next battle for the Heavenly Rankings, they will likely have to contend with those civilizations in the third round.

"The value of authority is far greater than that of inheritance crystals. Now that I think about it carefully, this is somewhat unreasonable... But if our next round of war is upgraded... then giving authority as a reward makes sense."

He said it to himself.

After a moment, Ji Fuyou turned his gaze to Tie Muxuan: "So, you want me to give you higher authority in the Void God Realm?"

"Yes."

Tie Muxuan nodded.

He glanced at Yang Xing, Linton, and the others beside him: "Furthermore, although our three major nations represent different political systems in the Heavenly Ranking War, we ultimately live together on Crimson Star. We share the same fate, and we share the same fate. In order to deal with the growing threat of the Heavenly Ranking War, we should all unite and overcome the difficulties together. I propose... the establishment of the Crimson Star Federation!"

"The Crimson Star Federation?" Linton and the others were taken aback.

They have all been defeated!
In the future, we will inevitably face an invasion from the Phantom Clan, at which point we will have to rely entirely on the Great Shang!

If the Crimson Star Federation could be established, the arrival of the Illusion Clan would likely force the Great Shang Dynasty to take action...

He immediately replied, "I agree."

The Martial Saint spoke with fervor: "At this moment, no one will doubt the authenticity and threat of the Heavenly Ranking War. Those alien races are the best examples. If we do not want Crimson Star to become a hunting ground for alien races, the only choice is for the people of Crimson Star to unite and work together as one! I agree to establish the Crimson Star Federation!"

Black Gold and the others from Griffin nodded in agreement.

Ji Fuyou listened but remained silent.

He knew that agreeing would inevitably add a heavy burden to the large merchant.

but……

He also understood that after the Black Gold Empire's defeat, the invasion of alien civilizations was not aimed at just the Black Gold Empire, but at the entire Crimson Star.

Even if they are unwilling to bear the consequences, the consequences will still affect them.

Globalization is too prevalent among the countries of Red Star.

Linton, noticing Ji Fuyou's hesitation, thoughtfully suggested, "I suggest we start with some trust-building projects, such as sharing nuclear weapons codes, opening up border troop deployments, and unifying the economy and currency..."

"First, establish the Crimson Star Joint Defense Council? Unify military forces, and then proceed with the rest step by step? After all, this project is far too massive..."

Looking at Ji Fuyou, who had not yet expressed his opinion, Tie Muxuan also said, "We are willing to elect Chairman Ji as the first president and chairman of the council, to lead us in the Heavenly Ranking War, and at the same time resist the possible continuous invasion from otherworldly civilizations!"

"The Heavenly Ranking War, an invasion by an alien civilization..."

Ji Fuyou felt pressured after hearing what Tiemuxuan said.

He knew this was inevitable.

The people of Red Star must unite to have any hope of surviving the endless wars of the Heavenly Rankings and the invasions of alien races.

If we continue like this, fragmented and disorganized, with billions of people divided into hundreds of countries, then there's no future to speak of.

He then said, "Then let's push this forward."

He glanced at the martial arts masters of the two countries: "Let's start with the four extreme countries, and then invite those major powers to join."

After saying that, he added, "We can start now to prepare for the future establishment of the Federation. For example, we can plan the Red Star into a two-tiered system of regional and local governments, and then govern it in the future with a three-tiered system of Federation, region, and local governments."

"understand!"

"Let's do as Chairman Ji says."

When the martial saints of Griffin and Black Gold saw that Ji Fuyou was finally willing to take on this position, they quickly expressed their support.

Ji Fuyou glanced at the martial saints of the two countries and said, "Since you both believe that the Red Star Joint Defense Council and the future Red Star Federation are inevitable, I hope that no one will outwardly comply but inwardly defy it."

"President Ji, please rest assured, we are not so lacking in the big picture."

Tie Muxuan smiled bitterly: "The council exists to fight against the invasion of alien races. If there is even the slightest mistake, and the alien races are able to advance unimpeded, our civilization will be destroyed... We can still tell which is more important, personal interests or the overall situation that concerns the life and death of our civilization."

Yang Xing, Lin Dun, and the others nodded in agreement.

The council was established, and although there were one or even several people above them, they were still able to live a comfortable life because of their status and position.

But if the council and the establishment of the federation collapse, and alien races invade, ordinary people may be able to survive, but these martial saints who pose a hidden threat will definitely be wiped out.

After all, this is not a contest between nations; humanitarian principles must also be upheld.

The war of civilizations has always had the ultimate goal of completely destroying the other side.

“Each of the four major nations will elect one representative to serve as the vice chairman of the council, and in addition…”

Ji Fuyou looked at Fang Qiyun: "You're here to serve as the Secretary-General of the Council?"

Fang Qiyun hesitated.

Once she truly assumes the position of Secretary-General of the Council, she will be responsible for countless matters, leaving her with insufficient time for cultivation and participation in Ji Fuyou's hunting of exotic beasts and monsters.

However, judging from Ji Fuyou's choice to serve as both president and chairman of the board, he clearly prioritizes the position of "president," which is only responsible for controlling the overall direction, rather than truly participating in the governance of the board.

Therefore, he clearly needs to appoint the most trustworthy person to the position of Secretary-General.

And the person he trusted most...

"I can!"

Fang Qiyun nodded heavily.

"Good work."

Ji Fuyou sincerely said.

Although his position was getting higher and higher, Fang Qiyun was still in charge of handling the trivial matters.

Without her, he really wouldn't know how to arrange many things.

"You can hire more people in the secretariat to avoid doing everything yourself and squeezing out your living space."

Ji Fuyou added.

"I see."

Fang Qiyun nodded, then quickly turned to Tie Muxuan and the others to discuss the specifics of the first step in the establishment of the Crimson Star Federation—the establishment of the Crimson Star Joint Defense Council.
