On paper, it would seem like a good idea to become the vassal of a Stellar Kingdom since that would give them a backer in the future. At the same time, this would also provide them a path to further their own cultivations.
With the resources that the Tai Stellar Kingdom had, it wouldn't be hard for them to help these True Soul Realm Experts break free of the shackles of the Soul Realm and reach the World Realm.
But that was only in theory.
The experts that were gathered here knew exactly what it meant to become a vassal of a Stellar Kingdom.
To put it simply, they would be taken in as slaves by the Stellar Kingdom.
It would depend on the Stellar Kingdom to decide how they were treated, but it was clear that they would be treated lower than the citizens of the Stellar Kingdom since they were people that came from a lower realm. It was clear that their factions would be exploited by the Stellar Kingdom, with their experts and resources carved between the factions of the Stellar Kingdom.
As for what remained in this upper realm, it would be turned into a farm for the Stellar Kingdom.
Vassal was just a nice way of calling them a farm.
The Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association would clearly be in a different situation.
Since they had chosen to submit earlier than the rest, there was no doubt that they would receive special treatment for their earlier subservience.
They would most likely receive positions under the Bing Family or the Huo Family, as one of their subordinate organizations. That would allow the Thunder Sect, True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association smoothly make their way into the Tai Stellar Kingdom.
This was a chance for them to move up in the world, so it was natural that they would seize it. If the other nine of the twelve great factions had been offered this, they might have also accepted it.
But it was too late to dwell on what ifs.
They had already chosen which side they would be on, so they could only stick to it to the end.
Bing Jun and Huo Fei saw the effects that their words had, so they continued pushing.
Bing Jun lowered his token and said, "I represent our two families to give you an offer."
Everyone held their breath when they heard this. If there was still a chance to get out of this without having to fight, they would grasp it, so they eagerly waited to hear what Bing Jung was saying.
Bing Jun continued, "We need your help taking back a planet that's occupied by the Beast Race. This will be a joint operation between four different Stellar Kingdoms, so you can be sure that it will be safe as we will deploy plenty of experts." Then his tone changed as he said with a bit of righteousness, "Isn't it our duty as experts to protect those weaker than us? Shouldn't we work together to drive out the Beast Race from the land of us humans?"
Although his words sounded righteous, everyone knew what his real goal was.
The Stellar Kingdom was still a society that was run by humans and the most important thing to the people up top was their own benefits.
So they didn't want to risk their own experts in this fight with the Beast Race.
They went looking for an unrelated upper realm to use their experts.
So to put it simply, they wanted to use the Galactic Humanity Alliance as cannon fodder in this fight. They wanted to throw the experts of the Galactic Humanity Alliance against the Beast Race to thin their numbers before sending out their own experts.
The experts of the Galactic Humanity Alliance knew that if they accepted this offer, there would be only a path of death for them.
After all, this was a planet that even four Stellar Kingdoms had to work together to take back, so there was no doubt that the Beast Race Experts deployed there were powerful ones.
It was definitely not something that they could face alone…
Bing Jun saw the clear rejection on their faces of what he had just said and he wasn't surprised.
He already expected them to be able to figure out their intentions since it wasn't that well hidden. He didn't want to do this, but he knew that it was impossible to hide this matter, so he chose to reveal it as soon as possible to make it easier for them to accept and move on.
After letting them revel in this for a bit, Bing Jun suddenly raised his voice to add, "As long as you're willing to fight for our Human Race, I will guarantee that you will receive the glory that you deserve." Then after a pause, he deliberately added, "Of course, those of you that act sooner will receive more than the others before being decisive."
He didn't add anything else after that since the meaning in his words were clear.
He just let these words sink in and let them have their effect on the people of the Galactic Humanity Alliance.
To put it simply, he was trying to pressure them by using time against them. At the same time, he was using limited spots to force them to act against each other.
He had basically said that as long as they acted quickly, there was a chance that these people would receive the same treatment as the Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association. They would be taken in as subordinates of either the Bing Family or the Huo Family, so they would be spared the fate of being treated as cannon fodder in this war.
He wanted them to collapse from the inside to make it easier to bring this Galactic Humanity Alliance to his feet.
At the same time, Bing Jun also looked at Lin Fan with a special look.
It was almost as if he was trying to show off to Lin Fan so he could convince him to give Lin Xue to him.
It seemed like he still hadn't given up.
The two True Soul Realm Experts from the hidden families started to panic after hearing this.
They didn't know what the situation was, but they knew that this was a Stellar Kingdom. The Stellar Kingdom was something that they yearned for since they wanted to break through to the next realm of cultivation, so even if it meant selling out the Galactic Humanity Alliance, they didn't hesitate to stand on the other side.
But it was different for the other nine of the twelve great factions.
Perhaps they might have been tempted by this if this was before. Perhaps they might have even fought over who would be able to take this chance.
But it was different now.
They believed in the master hidden in Lin Fan's store.
After all, they didn't believe that the master hidden in Lin Fan's store wouldn't have known that the other side was from a Stellar Kingdom. Since he was still willing to fight with them even knowing it was a Stellar Kingdom, that must mean that he had his abilities to take care of the experts from the Stellar Kingdom.
That must mean that the master in Lin Fan's store came from a very powerful backing as well.
It was likely that the master in Lin Fan's store was even from another Stellar Kingdom.
Since he didn't want to use them as cannon fodder and just let them do what they wanted, it was clear which side was better for them to choose.
So, not a single one of those True Soul Realm Experts jumped at Bing Jun's offer.
Bing Jun had been silent at first since he thought that they were considering it, but when he saw that none of them said a thing and just silently stood there, he couldn't help being a bit perturbed. It was almost as if they were planning on rejecting his proposition?
Were these people crazy?
It was clear that rejecting this offer was looking down on the Tai Stellar Kingdom, so experts would be sent to destroy their factions and subdue their experts. Either way, they would come under the Tai Stellar Kingdom since there was no other choice. At the very least, they would have a chance to survive if they accepted now, so what were they doing?
Lin Fan had his brows knitted from the moment that Bing Jun and Huo Fei had announced their identities.
He had already suspected that they came from a Stellar Kingdom, but now that it had been confirmed, it was like a worst case scenario for him.
To put it simply, he wasn't ready to face the experts of a Stellar Kingdom just yet.
There was no master in the store, it was just him providing support to the nine great factions.
If a Stellar Kingdom really sent their experts, there wouldn't be anything for him to do since his store didn't have items that would allow him to deal with those experts. Rather, it did, but he didn't make nearly enough points to buy them…
So when facing the experts of the World Realm, it would be impossible for them to face them with their current power.
But there was another problem which was that Bing Jun clearly wouldn't give up on Lin Xue, he had made it very clear with the way he had looked at Lin Fan just now.
If Lin Fan wanted to save his little sister, it was impossible for them to run and the only way was to fight them, taking care of Bing Jun here and now.
As Lin Fan was conflicted by these thoughts, someone else took the lead to everyone's surprise.
