Tang Shaoyang was held hostage by his wives. He thought of looking around the city while waiting for his people to return and et the people from the three worlds. However, his wives held him and brought him to his room, a big room with a wide bed.
Kang Xue was sleeping soundly on his chest, stark naked. Zhang ngyao was to his left, sleeping as well. Rosalie sprawled to his right, and the image of Rosalie sprawled, naked was funny to behold. She exuded an aura of royalty and elegance of an empress, but she was no different than a normal woman on the bed.
He slowly pushed Kang Xue to the side without waking her up. Checking upti through the corner of his eyes. He slept for two hours after roughly more than three hours tussling on the bed with his wives. Maybe two months were too long for them, and maybe Li Shuang and Elin's pregnancy motivated them.
That was a wild three hours for him, and he was satisfied. He picked up the robe at the edge of the bed and went out of the room. He froze for a mont because a lot of people were outside the room. His other wives were outside, giving him a side glance as he imdiately closed the door behind him.
Not just his wives, Lu An, and his girlfriend were here as well along with Wei Xi and his wife, and many more. He returned to the room and got a quick shower before showing up with a new set of his comfortable outfit. A black long-sleeved shirt and black pants, his usual outfit, and he pretended nothing happened before as he joined Jasmine's table with Aleesa and Sylvia.
Not long after he sat, Viona ca up with a cup of coffee. As if she had prepared beforehand, Wei Xi ca after her and made a report, "All of our people and our vassals returned half an hour ago."
"Let's warn the smaller factions in the Earth Alliance about what we are going to do and tell them the risks. We give them half an hour, and then we inform the three alliances for a eting under my na. Let's get this done quickly because I want to go out to explore," Tang Shaoyang took a sip of coffee after giving the instruction.
Viona responded with a nod and put the instruction into action. She was the Vice Division Head of the Intelligence Division. She inford her people to send the ssage to the smaller factions.
An elven woman in her armor raised her hand, "Can I ask sothing, Your Majesty?"
Tang Shaoyang glanced at the girl and nodded. She was Ava's first daughter, Alissa, and also The Queen of the Elven Kingdom, one of the Tang Empire's vassals. She changed a lot from what she rembered. Alissa appeared a lot more mature and exuded the aura of a ruler, albeit weaker, but his sharp sense picked everything that changed.
"Why are we suddenly dissolving the alliance with the three worlds that will put us at risk? I can't understand your decision. The mont you enter the tower, you put our lives in danger." Alissa did not hold back as she questioned the decision.
Aleesa frowned and did not like how her niece phrased it. She could be more polite, and the worst part was that she questioned The Emperor in front of many people. Everyone in the room imdiately turned toward Alissa, and the Queen of the Elven Kingdom was not expecting a strong reaction from the others. She flinched when all the high-ranking officers looked at her.
"I will answer that question," Zhang ngyao ca out of the room, stretching out her hand. She was wearing her official uniform and was followed by Rosalie.
anwhile, Rosalie's eyes locked on Tang Shaoyang, and she pointed her uniform toward his clothes. Tang Shaoyang shook his head fiercely, and no one noticed their interaction because they focused on Zhang ngyao. They were also curious about the extre move, pulling out of the alliance all of a sudden.
Zhang ngyao proceeded to explain how the Earth Alliance shared more resources than the other three. She also shared Tang Shaoyang's vision for the alliance, and she told them why they had to pull out from the Earth Alliance.
anwhile, Tang Shaoyang checked his inbox. He had a ssage notification from Ira, Anne, and Khaya through the administrator nu. That was the only way for him to communicate with his team mbers. He ntioned Gondar, Etherna, and Valeur to the three, asking them whether they knew sothing about them.
Ira inford him that Gondar and Etherna were in the God Realm. The factions from Gondar entered the God Realm ten years ago, and Etherna entered the God Realm twelve years ago. Valuer entered the God Realm much earlier than the previous two, twenty-nine years ago.
The factions from Gondar nad themselves as Gondar Alliance and joined a God Realm's alliance as an alliance. The Gondar Alliance was part of the Razdiol Alliance, and she graded them as weak alliances compared to most alliances.
Etherna which almost ford the Etherna Alliance to join the God Realm's alliance, Temporal. Ira put the Temporal Alliance above the Razdiol Alliance, but she ntioned the Temporal Alliance was still much weaker compared to the Nirvana Alliance or The God Order.
Valeur, or known as The Valuer Empire already made their na in the God Realm, and they were part of a stronger alliance compared to the previous two, The Boundless Alliance. Ira ntioned that Boundless was just a little weaker than her faction's alliance, Nebula.
Ira even gave him the notable figures from the two alliances and an empire. It was a long list of ssages from renowned figures from the three worlds.
Anne and Khaya sent him general information, but they did not go into details. As the two were unfamiliar with their captain, they asked him what happened.
A shadow hovered above him, and Zhang ngyao was standing in front of him. He looked up and asked, "Are you done?" The latter responded with a nod.
Tang Shaoyang forwarded Ira's ssage to his Supre Commander, "That's a little bit more information about the three worlds. That might help you a little bit, and it's your choice should you share it with others or not."
He did not know if it was good to share the information as he was afraid that a little too much information would harm them. It was just another battle for him, but that information might scare his people into fighting an established force in the God Realm.
Zhang ngyao furrowed her brow and did not hesitate to share the ssage with the others. She clapped her hand twice and said, "Read it and we will have a little discussion before we et them."
She agreed with what Tang Shaoyang told her, her mindset in making decisions was different than Tang Shaoyang's. It was not necessarily wrong, but a different mindset could lead her to make a bad decision. She wanted to use this ssage to asure the Tang Empire's position, not just for her to know, but also for others to know.
"What discussion?" Tang Shaoyang asked, and Zhang ngyao gave him a smile as a response. She gave everyone five minutes to read.
"Based on the information we just read, the Gondar Alliance is the weakest of the three, no?" Zhang ngyao asked Tang Shaoyang which he responded with a nod. Then she continued, "Then what about us? What's our position?"
"Of course, we are the strongest one," Tang Shaoyang replied with no hesitation. He used The Emperor of Void Cult as a asurent, and he was confident that he was stronger compared to the list of nas in the ssage.
The reason that they kept getting paired with a stronger force was him. The other worlds had more than hundreds or even more than a thousand God Ranks, and yet Earth with only six God Ranks competed with these factions. It ant he raised the bar for Earth and t the stronger force.
His answer surprised everyone in the room. They could see that each of the alliances had more God Ranks than Earth. They were surprised The Emperor claid they were stronger than the three forces. If it was soone else who said it, they might not believe it. But it was different when The Emperor claid so.
"It seems like you don't believe , but let correct you guys. I am stronger than those people, far above them combined. Let's say those fifty God Ranks ca at , I will wipe them. That's how strong I am. That's the only reason why The System keeps pitting us against the world that is stronger overall. I am the reason why we have to compete with the older world."
Most of them were in disbelief when they heard the first part, but when they listened to the last part, it made sense.
"And I bet Ophelius and Ophelia are stronger than those nas in the list. They might have a hard ti fighting fifty God Ranks at once, but it should not be a problem to fight ten to twenty God Ranks," Tang Shaoyang added nonchalantly, "Don't look at the twins as children, they are demons, calamity, and dragon combined."
The twins ntioned were currently sleeping on Li Na and Liang Suyin's laps. Even though they relied on the twins for protection, most of them spoiled and rarely got them involved in a fight.

Herman decided to visit The Tang Empire's area after he managed to calm down from his anger and frustration. He did not want to co and beg The Emperor for protection, but he had no choice because that was the only way for him to create a new alliance. The other big factions put him on the job because he was the closest to the Tang Empire.
Frans, Henry, and Mason followed him. Frans was his trusted Advisor while Henry and Mason were one of the most powerful after him.
Herman paused his steps as arrived in front of the area that The Tang Empire bought. He furrowed his brow, and Frans had the sa reaction. They were not expecting the area to be crowded like this.
The sun was still up, and these people were supposed to be outside to explore the tower. Why did they return? Especially after The Emperor made his appearance, and he felt sothing ominous after finding this out. As if The Tang Empire was recalling all their people from outside to do sothing, sothing he did not like.
"Do you think the sa, Frans?" Herman asked and hoped it was him overthinking.
"Yes. The Tang Empire seems to be trying sothing without telling us anything…" Frans' words trailed as he received a ssage. The ssage was from the alliance council. Herman also received the sa ssage.
They both opened the ssage and found out it was a summon for them for a eting. The eting was initiated by The Earth Alliance, but they were from the Earth Alliance, and they knew nothing about this eting. It ant the Tang Empire was the one who initiated the eting without telling them anything.
Herman was fud as this was a total disrespect for his authority and dignity. He was part of the council and also the Earth Alliance. The Tang Empire disregarded him and held the eting without consulting him. They did not even tell him what the eting was about. His chest heaved up and down.
Then from the corner of his eyes, he saw The Emperor with his entourage heading out.
"TANG SHAOYANG!" He scread the na at the top of his lungs.
