Inside the Soul Laboratory, which used to be quiet and desolate, was filled with guests today.
Representing Beijing was Lin Haifeng, the commander-in-chief from Washington stood for America, alongside various leaders from major human race gathering sites, with a total of no less than a hundred people!
Wen Yu sat at the main seat of the Soul Laboratory, quietly observing the chaos below without saying a word. In front of Wen Yu, a giant sand table stood under the control of the mountain puppet, displaying a layout dotted with stars, representing the overall structure of the Layered Battlefield and the Ring Star Domain.
At this moment, the arguments among the crowd were mainly about the size of their respective territories.
With nearly ten million land plates, this represented unimaginable resources and development space, which in turn meant a backup for war potential.
For a time, various unsightly behaviors emerged, yet Wen Yu did not intervene much, merely sitting in the front, coldly watching the scene unfold.
Until a certain moment, footsteps echoed in the passage of the Soul Laboratory. With the appearance of four figures, the entire Soul Laboratory finally fell silent.
"Sequence Two, Tang Haofei? Why is he here? I remember he doesn’t belong to Beijing anymore, does he?"
"And the celestial god? We received news not long ago that the celestial god defected from Beijing. Wow, look at Lin Haifeng's expression; very few people can make this old man's face look bad."
"Sea King? Insect King Skyry? They can’t be thinking of coming in to get a piece of the pie too, right? That won’t do; even though the Layered Battlefield is vast, there’s no land to accommodate other races for their proliferation!"
Fragmented conversations filled Wen Yu's ears, some were exchanges of information between factions, and others were blatantly directed at Wen Yu.
Although the Layered Battlefield was vast, to be honest, the human race could manage it internally—who would complain that their territory was too large? If development was too slow, one could just leave it be; as long as it bore the name of their country, everything would be negotiable.
Moreover, the nominal ownership of the Layered Battlefield belonged to Wen Yu, and as the representative of the human race, he would never let his elbow bend outward, right?
However, Wen Yu’s thoughts were indeed different from those of the others.
He gave Tang Haofei a glance and pointed to the celestial god, Sea King, and Skyry behind him, while Tang Haofei merely smiled and said, “We, um, I now represent the Earth’s mutated life forms, and I want to secure a piece of territory for them on the Layered Battlefield.”
After Tang Haofei finished speaking, he took a seat with the other three. The celestial god ignored Lin Haifeng's seemingly predatory gaze, merely observing calmly, while the Sea King and Skyry returned the angry looks of the human race leaders with disdainful glances.
What a bunch of nonsense, endlessly chattering as if they had the final say...
The atmosphere on site heated up even further, and Wen Yu could only rub his temples, turning to Tang Haofei, unable to hold back his curiosity, and asked, “Are you really planning to mix with them?”
Tang Haofei fell silent for a moment, then nodded, “The mutated life forms have great war potential, and they are loyal to the Earth's will. Though Earth's will is a bit strange, I have no reason not to stand with them.”
“And...”
Old Tang changed his tone, somewhat emotional.
“After the sequence ranking battle, you could see that compared to professional fighters, mutated beasts, um, are somewhat disadvantaged. Although they are numerous, they cannot use the Exchange Stone Pillar or various types of tools, and their advancement speed is far slower than professional fighters. There aren’t enough peak experts among them; we cannot overlook their contributions. Just like now, in such a vast Layered Battlefield, you didn't invite the mutated beast group, and neither did the leaders of these various gathering sites. You have naturally excluded them from the distribution of spoils, but they are indeed an indispensable part of Earth. Someone has to speak up for these vulnerable groups.”
