The 18 Peak Glory Level powerhouses were all sending ssages in the spiritual network, furiously sending them, each able to send several per second:
"Is it really an alien being?"
"It should be."
"How do they know our language?"
"Perhaps they already sent spies in to secretly learn it."
"Wait a mont, everyone." At this ti, the most influential powerhouse in the spiritual network spoke.
This powerhouse was nad Lemi ri, the strongest among the carbon-based life forms of Grela-13A, and also universally recognized as the spiritual leader.
Seeing him speak, the frequency of ssages in the spiritual network imdiately decreased significantly. Everyone was waiting for Lemi ri to continue speaking.
After about five seconds, Lemi ri continued: "I made brief contact using spiritual power with this alien entity calling out, and found that we are completely not on the sa level. She seems to be an existence above Glory Level!"
"Above Glory Level?"
"How is it possible?"
"So Glory Level Peak is not the end?"
The spiritual network was once again filled with exclamations.
At this point, Aikbai’er felt the ti was ripe.
So he spoke in the spiritual network: "The universe is vast and full of wonders; it’s entirely possible for beings higher than Glory Level to exist. We need to think about what to do now, the alien visitor claims she is also a carbon-based lifeform, and won’t target us..."
Before Aikbai’er even finished, soone in the spiritual network imdiately refuted: "You actually believe her? Believe an alien being?"
"Not that, actually believe an alien? Is the alien doing this not trying to temporarily stall us, first eliminate the Intelligent Machines, and then deal with us after they’re all gone?"
"Have you forgotten the Sha of the Golden Brilliance Country? Only over three hundred years have passed, has your brain been kicked by a donkey?"
"The Sha of the Golden Brilliance Country" is a story from Grela-13A, sowhat similar to Blue Star’s "lips gone, teeth cold" proverb.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, Aikbai’er quickly countered: "Of course, I rember the Sha of the Golden Brilliance Country, but the current situation is completely different from then.
Let ask you, how do we deal with existences above Glory Level? We are at least a major realm below them! And there are more than one above Glory Level, I can sense four of them!"
"..."
"..."
The spiritual network fell silent instantly.
Aikbai’er was right; they were hardly able to deal with those above Glory Level.
Even if ten Legendary Level (Seventh Rank) faced one initial Glory Level (Eighth Rank), they would still need to sacrifice a few lives to achieve victory.
With their level of power, who is willing to risk their life against an unknown enemy?
And there are four of them above Glory Level! Truly unsettling.
Seeing the situation turning around, Aikbai’er quickly seized the mont: "Lu Ge, Lex, why don’t you also say sothing!"
Lu Ge and Lex were two Peak Glory Level powerhouses in the spiritual communication network, different from others, these two had communicated with Aikbai’er beforehand.
Although they didn’t know as much as Aikbai’er, they quickly chid in:
"Right, Aikbai’er is correct."
"We carbon-based lifeforms are usually oppressed by the Intelligent Machines, why should we stand with them now?"
"Exactly, even if we helped the Intelligent Machines and sohow drove away the alien invaders, can we expect to coexist peacefully with the Intelligent Machines afterward?"
Seeing that the "surrender faction" had completely controlled the situation, those in the spiritual network who initially wanted to assist the Intelligent Machines were montarily out of ideas.
The surrender faction had a point as well; assisting the Intelligent Machines seed rather abstract.
But what if the alien beings were fraudulent?
Ultimately, these powerhouses turned their gaze to Lemi ri.
One powerhouse said: "Shouldn’t we, as usual, let Your Excellency ili decide in case of conflict? Your Excellency ili, what do you think we should do? Help the Intelligent Machines or not aid either side?"
Everyone initially thought Lemi ri would take so ti to deliberate. After all, the issue was crucial and could even decide the fate of the entire planet, requiring serious thought.
Unexpectedly, Lemi ri imdiately responded in the spiritual network: "We’ll listen to the alien beings, do nothing. Everyone stay put and keep your tribes in check!"
Hearing Lemi ri’s response, the "help Intelligent Machines faction" was stunned.
"Could you explain the reason?" soone asked.
"Simply put," said Lemi ri, "those above Glory Level are on a completely different tier; even if the 18 of us went up together, we might not be a match for any one of them."
"Really? Is it that pessimistic?"
"Truly, I swear on my reputation." Lemi ri said.
These words from Lemi ri were entirely sincere. Because Lea was now standing just three ters in front of him!
Lea stood with arms folded, smilingly watching him.
Lemi ri could genuinely feel Lea’s strength. Facing such a terrifying existence, all he felt was despair.
