252: Chapter 5 is unacceptable.

After much tossing and turning and hesitation, Chu Zhangyang finally set a date for the negotiations after months of anxiety.

At noon, three days later.

Both sides would establish a video connection!

The members of the Xingyang Civilization immediately began busy preparations.

Yu Lan decided to use the bridge command room of the "divine might" as the venue for their video conference.

Tu Kulei, along with Wei Wei and others, began urgent renovations to ensure the background of the conference room was sufficiently grand, solemn, and shocking.

They had to overwhelm the other side in terms of aura.

The little girl, Hope, and Xiliu checked the network repeatedly, ensuring it was clear while adding several firewalls to prevent the other side from hacking into their network.

The sisters, Suo Xiaoli and Solia, tried on hundreds of outfits in a single day, as they were to stand on either side as the Bishop's attendants during the meeting.

Seeing everyone busy and bustling about, Chu Xingyang felt they were being a bit too serious.

He helplessly tried to persuade them: "There's no need to go to such trouble; it's just a face-to-face chat."

"There's no need to make such a big fuss."

Nearby, Tu Kulei, who did not know that the Bishop was actually a god, immediately replied firmly: "No!"

"Even if it's a video conference, we must make full preparations and show the solemnity and grandeur expected of believers!"

"Besides, Bishop, although you are a mortal, you were personally chosen by the Xingyang God, so you are naturally a cut above that evil false god!"

"We should adopt a higher stance!"

Hearing this, Chu Xingyang was speechless.

He thought to himself that others didn't see it that way. At least in the eyes of the hundreds of millions of civilizations that had fled to the Milky Way Galaxy.

Chu Zhangyang, who had swallowed the entire universe, was also a god, just an Evil God.

And he, who was also a god, was willing to converse with him in his identity as the Bishop, which was already a great act of swallowing his pride.

Therefore, at this moment in the Milky Way Galaxy, almost all living beings believed that this was a sign of weakness or even a plea for peace from the Zhangyang God.

But Chu Xingyang had no intention of persuading Tu Kulei at the moment, simply letting him and the others fuss over the command room.

Soon, the three days were up.

After a brief connection between the two networks, the huge screen in the command room of the "divine might" lit up.

At this moment, the entire video conference scene was broadcast through countless networks to every corner of the Milky Way Galaxy.

This was the result of a few days of discussion between Hope and Xiliu.

They concluded that no matter how confidential this online negotiation was, it would be spied upon by countless civilizations within the Milky Way Galaxy.

Rather than having various civilizations try every means to access it during the meeting,

it was better to display it openly as they were doing now.

The huge screen lit up.

It showed the scene of the Zhangyang God Temple, with a tall, thin man sitting on a huge divine chair.

His posture was arrogant, his gaze disdainful.

In a deep voice, with a questioning tone, he said: "You! You are the Bishop of the Xingyang Civilization!"

The four-person group who had seen Chu Zhangyang before, with Yu Lan nodding to signal Chu Xingyang: "It's him! That evil false god!"

The entire Milky Way Galaxy was in an uproar.

So this was the god of the Zhangyang Civilization! He looked so ordinary.

Yet he had used his divine power to devour and infect countless planets in the entire universe.

And now it was rumored that the entire 90 billion light-year universe had already become his flesh and blood body!

It seemed that countless living beings in the Milky Way Galaxy had not expected that this Evil God, who had almost destroyed the entire universe, looked unexpectedly ordinary.

But the four-person group of the Xingyang Civilization remained calm. The unperturbed expressions of Wei Wei, Yu Lan, Xiliu, and Hope were transmitted to all parts of the Milky Way Galaxy through countless images.

This allowed countless life forms to witness their nonchalant demeanor.

The living beings couldn't help but discuss it with emotion.

"As expected of people from the Civilization of Gods, they are so calm. It seems that no matter what the Evil God looks like, it doesn't stir their hearts in the slightest!"

"Of course. The people of the Xingyang Civilization have served the true god. Why would they even bother to look at that evil false god?"

"Look, especially the Bishop, there's even a sneer at the corner of his mouth. Hahaha... Even a mortal of the Xingyang Civilization doesn't consider a powerful false god like Chu Zhangyang to be a threat."

"That arrogant Chu Zhangyang finally has his day. He used to be so high and mighty, and now he has to obediently hold a conversation with a mortal from the Xingyang Civilization."

Unlike the excitement throughout the Milky Way Galaxy.

At this time, on the Blue Star, which had long been shrouded in black fog, the only "pure land," the Holy City, seemed to be covered by a thick shadow.

Because in the Zhangyang God Temple, many people were watching this universe-shaking negotiation live.

At this moment, after seeing the disdainful expression of the Bishop on the other side with their own eyes,

their faces, apart from deep disbelief, also showed deep humiliation and doubt.

Humiliation that the god they worshipped was treated like a minor character.

Doubt about the majesty and divine power of their own god. Already, many believers felt the balance in their hearts beginning to tilt slowly toward the Xingyang God.

However, Chu Zhangyang, who had already made up his mind to conduct this exchange, no longer cared about these things.

He just narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the "Bishop" on the screen.

After a long time, he finally let out a soft snort from his nostrils.

He couldn't help but laugh internally: "Hmph, isn't this just that Xingyang God? Playing these kinds of tricks."

"Clearly a Sun God, yet pretending to be a mortal. Just to get the better of me?"

At this moment, he suddenly lost interest in exposing the other side.

Anyway, since he had already sacrificed his dignity, he naturally needed to urgently obtain the information he wanted.

So, with a serious face, he went straight to the point: "You've felt that thing too, haven't you?"

"I don't understand why, even though you are a god, you have to pretend to be a mortal like an ant."

"Forget it, I just want to know what that thing is, and how powerful it is?"

Although the middle part of his words left many people in the Xingyang Civilization confused,

they were all wondering if the Bishop would tell the Evil God about "Annihilation".

So naturally, not many people took it to heart.

Chu Xingyang smiled indifferently and played coy: "Huh? A god like you also has moments where you need to ask a mortal for advice?"

"Calling yourself a god, at best, you are just a punk who doesn't know your own limits but tries to swallow the universe."

His few taunts made Chu Zhangyang's face turn red and then white with anger.

The entire Milky Way Galaxy erupted in thunderous cheers. They finally saw this hateful arch-villain getting humbled.

Chu Zhangyang, who had barely managed to keep his composure, completely snapped, and he roared hysterically: "I am a punk?!"

"Can a punk swallow the entire universe?!"

"Can a punk turn countless planets into his own flesh and blood body?!"

"Can a punk make an entire Milky Way Galaxy of living beings, hundreds of millions of civilizations, cower here, terrified day and night?!"

Hearing this, Chu Xingyang laughed loudly: "As long as I am here, you will never be able to swallow this universe!"

"Besides! We are not cowering here!"

"We are just occupying a good spot here, watching you get completely devoured by the power that is about to arrive!"

"Witnessing your end with our own eyes! This is the scene that all living beings currently alive in the Milky Way Galaxy most want to see!"

His resonant words, with an expression of justice and disdain, were transmitted through the network that Hope and Xiliu had connected beforehand.

They were projected onto countless large and small holographic images throughout the Milky Way Galaxy.

All living beings in the entire Milky Way Galaxy were instantly set ablaze with excitement.

No one expected that the Evil God who had swallowed 90 billion light-years would be so reprimanded and scorned by an ordinary mortal of the Xingyang Civilization.

Deafening cheers erupted from the living beings.

"Hahaha, as expected, the Xingyang God is the true god!"

"Look, even an ordinary mortal in the great Xingyang Civilization can hold the Zhangyang God in such contempt."

"Exactly, although he is the honorable Bishop, in essence, he is just a mortal."

"That arrogant Evil God not only has to communicate with a mortal of the Xingyang Civilization, but also has to patiently listen to his lecture."

All living beings cheered with surging emotions.

The exhilaration in their hearts flowed unrestrainedly like a bursting dam.

They completely forgot that they were either refugees who had fled to the Milky Way Galaxy after the Zhangyang God destroyed their homes, or had been trapped for years by Chu Zhangyang's Flesh and Blood Universe.

Of course, they could not have guessed that the mortal Bishop, who was awe-inspiring without even trying, was actually the great Xingyang God himself.

At this moment, Chu Zhangyang, hearing himself so scorned by Chu Xingyang, who was also a Sun God, felt his inner anger burning like a raging prairie fire.

After his chest heaved violently several times.

He finally managed to stabilize his mind with all his might. Because he knew deeply that for the sake of his ultimate goal of swallowing the Multiverse, everything now could be endured.

So Chu Zhangyang took a deep breath, tried his best to put on an indifferent expression, and slowly said: "Let's not play this game of verbal sparring. Neither of us is a child."

"We both know that at this moment, saying these things is meaningless."

Hearing this, Chu Xingyang wore a faint smile: "Then why did you go to such great lengths to send envoys, racking your brains to communicate and talk with our Xingyang Civilization?"

"What exactly are you after?"

"So, just say whatever you have to say. Even though we also believe that whether you are begging for surrender or peace, it is all meaningless."

As Chu Xingyang spoke, he stared intently at the Evil God in front of the huge screen.

He naturally knew the purpose of the other party seeking this conversation; he just didn't want to be the first one to say it.

The expression on Chu Zhangyang's face changed several times.

Ultimately, he felt he should prioritize the big picture. So he went straight to the point: "You said just now that I would be destroyed by the terrifying power that is about to arrive."

"Actually, I have felt that abnormally powerful existence."

"I also learned from your four-person group that visited last time that that thing is called Annihilation. I'm just curious, who attracted that power here?"

"Also, since it is so powerful, how could it possibly be under your control?!"

Chu Xingyang was briefly silent.

"Annihilation" was naturally brought here by him, and the original purpose was naturally to destroy "Annihilation".

As for the collateral damage caused, it was that this universe would be implicated and completely destroyed.

But in the final analysis, this was actually a plan to kill two birds with one stone. After all, Chu Zhangyang had already destroyed this space-time, and after completing the Flesh and Blood Universe, he would also attack parallel worlds.

So whether it was "Annihilation" or the scourge that was Chu Zhangyang, both needed to be dealt with urgently.

But Chu Xingyang did not want to explain the origin of "Annihilation" to the people of the galaxy at this moment.

So he avoided the first question and answered the second one directly: "Whether or not I can control that power is not something you need to worry about."

"In short, I will witness it easily devouring you!"

The cold words made Chu Zhangyang's heart tighten.

He could see that the Sun God from the parallel world on the other side had enough confidence when saying this, with an air of being fully prepared!

So, after hesitating for a moment, he tentatively said: "This is probably not your true purpose!"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have let that four-person group bring the catalyst to make me stronger."

"I am thinking, your true purpose must be to have me perish together with that Annihilation!"

Chu Xingyang gave a cold smile, and then replied with a serious face: "You're overthinking it, whether now or in the future!"

"No matter what, you will never be able to perish together with that kind of power; in its eyes, you are just a tiny ant!"

Every word was like a steel blade, deeply piercing into Chu Zhangyang's heart, which once held nothing in its eyes.

Making his long-standing arrogance vanish in an instant.

Because he could see that this Sun God from a parallel universe was not bluffing or alarmist.

The veins on Chu Zhangyang's forehead were faintly throbbing.

This series of blows actually made him question his own divine power for the first time.

He shouted powerlessly in his heart.

How is this possible! He should be supreme, should be at the pinnacle of the Multiverse.

But why? First, the tiny Milky Way Galaxy, under the protection of this god on the other side, I haven't been able to conquer it to this day.

Now, another guy called "Annihilation" has been brought here.

I haven't seen its entity yet, but just the aura it reveals makes me, a god, shudder.

Chu Zhangyang fell into deep doubt.

After a long silence, and after struggling for a long time, he finally stated his proposal.

"Since you sent the four-person group to make me stronger, there must be your intention."

"Because, if you simply wanted me dead, then without the catalyst, I should have been easier for Annihilation to kill!"

"So, by doing this, you must want me to hold back Annihilation, or perish together with it!"

"If that's the case, there's no need for that! I and your Xingyang Civilization can join forces to defeat Annihilation!"

The many living beings on both sides were stunned.

Whether it was the believers in the Zhangyang Civilization or the countless living beings in the Milky Way Galaxy, none expected that the arrogant Evil God would actually propose cooperation.

Only Chu Xingyang was composed, feeling no surprise at this abrupt proposal, simply saying coldly: "I refuse!"

"Don't flatter yourself. Making you stronger is not to have you hold back Annihilation."

"Talk of perishing together is just too ridiculous."

"Making you stronger is just so you die a little slower in front of Annihilation, so we can enjoy watching your death a little longer!"
