Xu Zimei announces the Divine Continent's claim over the Third Star System and its resources, proposing the establishment of Will of the World Bridges. When Song Chen of the Long-Eared Flame Tribe questions his overbearing approach, Xu Zimei brutally attacks Song Chen, declaring his 'winner takes all' philosophy. Madman Mang vows to resist the Divine Continent's expansion, while Hundred Souls Daoist of the True Void World adopts a neutral stance.

The Thousand-Blade Executioner from the Slaughter World and the Destiny Strange from the Curse Bizarre Star seemed to not harbor any hostility towards Xu Zimei.

The two responded indifferently.

"The strong are esteemed, as long as the Divine Continent has the ability, they can plunder freely."

"Exactly, survival of the fittest."

Their stance left Madman Mang's face looking unpleasant.

He realized that the large worlds in the Extreme East were all behaving abnormally.

The demand Xu Zimei proposed would disrupt everyone's common interests!

If everyone joined forces, maybe they could force Xu Zimei to compromise.

But why does no one care!

Madman Mang could only turn his gaze towards the Supreme Horned Dragon of the Realm Sea Star.

In Madman Mang's eyes, the Supreme Horned Dragon seemed the most reasonable among them.

The Supreme Horned Dragon too sensed the gazes of the crowd.

He slightly narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "I have no authority over matters of the Realm Sea Star, I'll need to report to the Realm King."

His response was fairly neutral, but one could tell it was just an excuse.

After all, no one truly wanted to give up their resources.

"I think everyone misunderstands one thing."

Xu Zimei laughed and said.

"When I speak to you, it is just a notification, not a request for your consent."

"Today I host a banquet, inviting all large and most medium-large worlds of the Extreme East."

"Almost everyone came, except the Demonic Spirit World refused."

Upon hearing Xu Zimei's words, some realized slowly and noticed indeed there was no one from the Demonic Spirit World.

The Demonic Spirit World has always been arrogant; they clearly reject anything they dislike.

In those people's eyes, aside from magicians being held in high regard, others are considered as crude martial men, not worth mentioning.

"You all came, but the Demonic Spirit World did not, that's a show of disrespect to me."

"So I've already dispatched troops to start seizing resources from the Demonic Spirit World."

Xu Zimei spoke bluntly, and such actions couldn't be concealed.

Once the battle in the Elken Basin starts, all major powers will likely receive the news immediately.

Upon hearing this, everyone was also taken aback.

They never imagined the Divine Continent would act so swiftly.

Was it simply because the other party didn't attend the banquet?

"In this war, will you help the Demonic Spirit World, or sit back and watch?"

At this point, Xu Zimei didn't give the crowd a chance to respond.

He directly looked towards Song Chen.

The other party wished to incite other large worlds to oppose Xu Zimei, thus finding a chance for survival.

But at this moment, Xu Zimei looked at him and with a few words, changed his expression dramatically.

"I want to kill you right now, in front of so many people, who can protect you?"

"Today, if anyone dares to stop me, I'll kill them."

Upon these words, Madman Mang, who initially wanted to intervene, immediately fell silent again.

He felt that Xu Zimei, like those from the Slaughter World, was a madman.

Moreover, this was the Divine Continent, he didn't need to provoke the other party.

As for Song Chen, since he couldn't be saved, then let him be sacrificed.

After all, these other worlds affiliated with the Madman Star were simply tools in the hands of Madman Star.

Once they had no value, they should be discarded decisively.

Hearing Xu Zimei's words and seeing the surrounding crowd, where even the crows and sparrows were silent, Song Chen was truly anxious.

"Everyone, I'm speaking out for your sake, you can't ignore me!"

"Madman Mang, say something, I'm from the Madman Star, you can't just watch me die, that would be disgraceful to the Madman Star."

"Silence, you belong to the Tianzhu World, what does it have to do with the Madman Star?" Madman Mang scolded loudly, his face looking unpleasant.

He never expected Song Chen to be so foolish, trying to drag him down when facing death.

Xu Zimei watched this clown-like performance from the side.

Let out a cold laugh.

Lightly shouted, "Slay!"

In an instant, the Giant Demon roared and charged forward.

His body was like a towering mountain between the heavens and the earth.

His arms pushed everything aside.

Despite Song Chen's frantic evasion, he was caught by the Giant Demon with one hand.

Then the other hand grabbed Song Chen's head and ripped it off.

Before the Giant Demon, Song Chen appeared truly as insignificant as an ant.

When Song Chen's torn corpse was thrown down, the onlookers, especially from some small and medium worlds, were rendered speechless with fear.

They initially thought that the Divine Continent, having just established itself, would try to nurture relationships with everyone.

No one expected that they would establish their authority in such a brutal and domineering manner.

Xu Zimei paid no mind to the crowd's reaction.

He smiled and said, "Today's banquet is to formally meet everyone, no need to be nervous."

As the banquet continued, many finally relaxed.

Also, many felt fortunate they didn't jump out like that fool Song Chen.

Some small and medium worlds even began to connect with the Divine Continent, preparing to build the Will of the World Bridge.

The arrival of the Divine Continent presented challenges and opportunities for some worlds.

If they could get on board with the Divine Continent, their world might prosper.

World advancement is very difficult to achieve.

Especially in a context where everyone wants to advance and internal competition is intense.

Having a big brother to help is a must.

......

"Sir, I toast to you."

A person approached Xu Zimei, offering a toast, with a very low demeanor.

This person was clad in a white brocade robe, surrounded by a faint aura of ice.

Their eyes were golden, the most unique and striking feature.

"Sir, I am from the Fixed Light Ice Tribe, you may call me Song Yi."

This person introduced themselves proactively.

Xu Zimei glanced at the person, smiling faintly as he asked, "Is there something you want?"

"I represent the Fixed Light Ice Tribe, and wish for the Tianzhu World to become a vassal of the Divine Continent, what do you think?"

Song Yi asked respectfully.

"A vassal?" Xu Zimei asked back.

"I remember that currently in the Tianzhu World, no one has control over it, right?"

The two largest powers in Tianzhu World were the just-killed Song Chen from the Long-Eared Flame Tribe.

And this Song Yi from the Fixed Light Ice Tribe.

However, the Long-Eared Flame Tribe has the support of the Madman Star and has always suppressed the Fixed Light Ice Tribe.

Seeing Song Yi at this moment, Xu Zimei immediately understood their intention.

The Fixed Light Ice Tribe wanted the support of the Divine Continent.

After all, they had been fighting alone, probably no longer able to hold on.

If it continued, they would eventually be defeated by the Long-Eared Flame Tribe.

"Sir, with the support of the Divine Continent, we are confident we can control the Tianzhu World," Song Yi said.

Xu Zimei pondered momentarily, considering the pros and cons.

If the Tianzhu World became a vassal of the Divine Continent, there would be many benefits.

But there were also risks involved.
