The Dragon King Conference was convened, and the news quickly spread.
All forces were in motion, and the prisoners of the Jiyi Army quickly arrived at the Sky Island. Then the previously escaped Eagle King... was also captured and brought back.
He had been caught long ago, along with the Three Kings of the Evil Dragon Empire, Paul, Gu Qi, and King Xiahou.
Due to the shocking rewards, Crime Prison Island was in an uproar.
They thought all day about breaking out and going against the Global Government.
As a result, the officials gave a second option... to go to another Earth.
There, they could roam freely!
In a way, this reduced the jailbreak mentality of the people on Crime Prison Island because the 'prison' had become exceedingly large.
This conference was vastly different from the previous ones, no longer just small skirmishes on Crime Prison Island, but it encompassed the Jiyi Army and the Navy, along with the Radiation Beast groups.
Sin Domain Island also participated due to the rewards, with all True Dragons attending.
After all, having power is a significant advantage.
Never mind Tai Sui's invincibility in Milan, but the Jiyi Army and the Navy are formidable, too; they have more Dragon Level members than the entire Crime Prison Island's SSR!
Again, it was said that there are a total of one thousand SSR worldwide, with the Navy holding sixty percent of them, which is no joke.
Crime Prison Island only has ten percent SSR, about a hundred people.
Perhaps even Evil Dragon Castle and Eden Garden together could not defeat Tai Sui, but what if they united with the Jiyi Army and the Navy?
Many situations then become unpredictable, with numerous variables.
The elite of the giant enterprises are extremely excited about this, as the reform of this competition system was driven by them.
First, if the Jiyi Army is pacified, they become criminals and can enter the island to become players.
The Navy, on the other hand, hid a large amount of unregistered private soldiers, living in 'Second Earth' without Intelligent Machinery, clearly aiming to establish a 'Second Human Nation.'
It can be said that the Navy has a foundation to exist independently, apart from the military expenditure budget.
This situation has already been an eyesore to the giant enterprises, who have long wanted to act but remained silent.
Now, just leveraging the Dragon King Conference, they can expose this Achilles' heel of the Navy, bringing it to the forefront, ideally crippling it, without needing to take action themselves.
For this, the officials did something significant.
They announced the discovery of a 'New Earth,' then designated it as a new place for criminal exile.
In other words, they incorporated Second Earth into Crime Prison Island, making the device that leads there a reward for the Dragon King.
Suddenly, Crime Prison Island expanded by 5.1 million square kilometers, an entire Earth dimension!
It seems absurd, but it really isn't; it doesn't affect the giant enterprises financially at all.
It's just a desolate place, and there are plenty of Earths like this one.
Moreover, Crime Prison Island is a 'system' where anything from a single reef to an entire Earth can be considered 'Crime Prison Island.'
As long as it's within this framework, it's all under the management of the Emperor's Chief · King of the Sky Island · Saint Peter.
From now on, escaping the second dimension is considered jailbreak.
This is literally undermining the Navy, because they have already been developing in that deserted land, but a decree from the Supreme Council has turned it into an exile planet.
As of now, anyone remaining there associated with the Navy without official positions are all Crime Prison Island prisoners.
What a mess! Many of them were once locked in deadly battles with the Jiyi Army, but they didn't have official status, belonging instead to the 'Rebel Army.'
Their origins are very complex.
In earlier times, various rebel forces around the world were sent to Crime Prison Island, except for a few elites who were chosen by the Navy for recruitment.
These people were originally rebels and killed many nobles, unable to reintegrate into society, so the Navy retained them.
Initially, there were very few of them, but as the Jiyi Army advanced eastward several times, capturing a few city-states, only to be driven back, those who had surrendered to the Jiyi Army and then rebelled again also all joined the Navy.
These people are essentially 'criminal personnel,' with no place for them in the giant enterprise society.
Yet the Navy retained them, didn't send them to Crime Prison Island, but rather internalized them, settling them on Second Earth.
In fact, those prisoners from the Jiyi Army, the Navy also wanted to retain, but they were highlighted during this Dragon King Conference.
"Fuck! This is so disgusting!"
An imposter Navy Admiral slammed the table in anger.
"We pacified the Jiyi Army, and instead of receiving rewards, we became criminals!"
The strongest Dragon in the Navy, Hebron, said, "The Navy is rewarded."
"The Marshal and all the Generals have entered the reserve of the Supreme Council, and the Council has promised them seats in the next session."
"All other officers at different levels received substantial rewards."
The Admiral coldly looked at Hebron, "What about us?"
Hebron sighed, "The hidden danger of not being officially recognized has finally erupted."
The Admiral was furious, "So what now? Just endure it? If you ask me, we should go back and destroy the Supreme Council!"
With that, he was about to leave with his men.
At this moment, the Marshal entered the meeting room, stopping him, "Kilga! If you leave Second Earth now, it's jailbreak!"
"Do you understand, we, the Navy, will have to deal with you..."
Seeing the Marshal, the Admiral Kilga was somewhat intimidated.
But upon hearing this, he became even angrier, "Jailbreak?"
"When we joined the Navy, you promised us that we would share in the Navy's glory and downfall."
"Now you're in glory, we're in downfall, what does that mean?"
The impostor officers were all agitated, while the formal Navy officers looked grim.
Marshal Zhou Yitang said, "This is the means of the giant enterprises; they aim to split the Navy internally."
"Firstly, you're restricted from leaving Second Earth, otherwise it's jailbreak. As jailbreakers, the Navy will have to deal with you..."
"If we don't bring you back and go against this openly, the giant enterprises can deploy the Angel Team to kill you, and eventually even Sky Island will send the Angel Envoy to bring you back—the result is the same."
"And the officials can take the opportunity to dismantle the Navy, claiming we're disobedient."
"So you must stay calm."
"Kilga, you're not a rebel anymore, you're the Navy! Why do you care about the recognition of the giant corporations? It's enough that we recognize you. We have our own civilization, and the Navy's internal commendations for you won't be lacking."
The Marshal urged, and everyone felt aggrieved.
This move by the authorities was too ruthless.
With a single bill, they were sold to Sky Island, achieving three objectives with one action.
It wasted at least 40% of the Navy's talents, divided them internally, and incidentally satisfied Crime Prison Island's desire for a larger living space. It even caused the territories of Crime Prison Island and the Navy to overlap, forcing them to fight and increasing the difficulty of unifying Crime Prison Island.
The Navy that quelled the rebellion was instead imprisoned, becoming the eternal companion of Crime Prison Island's inmates.
Not satisfied? If you're not satisfied, go find Saint Peter.
Now Kilga and others without official positions in the second realm, are all 'people of Crime Prison Island,' making up 40% of the Navy's population.
The Navy now has to either rebel or pinch their noses and endure it, continuing to act as dogs for the giant corporations, then fight Crime Prison Island on Second Earth.
"This is the 'Post-Cangyue Era' that the authorities need. Our targets will shift from Europe to Second Earth, from the Jiyi Army to the entire Crime Prison Island, from Cangyue... to Tai Sui."
Six Gods' voice resounded, projected in the hall.
Kilga knew the situation was severe, but he still said, "Six Gods, Marshal... I'm just not satisfied. Why can they step on us? Let's storm the Supreme Council and wipe out those guys!"
He was born a rebel, always discontent with the giant corporations.
Previously defeated by the Navy, he was promised that as long as he served the Navy, he wouldn't have to go to Crime Prison Island.
But in the eyes of the giant corporations, they were always rebels, and the Navy's behavior of retaining them was a crime.
Now this hidden danger has completely erupted with the demise of Cangyue.
Six Gods coldly said, "Revolt? Do you think it's that simple?"
"Frontally confronting the giant corporations, the chance of victory is zero."
"I've said this many times before, and I don't want to repeat myself."
No force in the world can directly confront the twenty giant corporations.
This is determined by productivity.
Even if the Navy has six Divine Generals, it doesn't work; they also have Angel Envoys.
Directly revolting and confronting, even if there were sixty Divine Level individuals, ten times their number, they would still be annihilated by the Angel Envoys and the endlessly spawning Angel Army.
No one can flip the table and win against the giant corporations.
The Navy's only chance of victory is a coup, finding an opportunity to wipe out the twenty members of the Supreme Council with a thunderous approach.
Then, relying on the Emperor's Contract of the Supreme Council to command the Angel Envoy, can the giant corporations be defeated.
But the giant corporations are not foolish and have always guarded against this, never giving such an opportunity.
"Then what should we do? Six Gods, are we just going to let it go like this? Is our fate destined to battle it out with the Crime Prison Island inmates on this planet?" Kilga gritted his teeth.
Six Gods calmly said, "Battle it out if we must. The giant corporations hope for balance between us and Crime Prison Island, constantly restraining us."
"But this wishful thinking of theirs... Can we not annihilate the Angel Envoys but not the prisoners of Crime Prison Island? Exterminate and kill all the criminals here, and there will be no more Crime Prison Island."
"With Cangyue gone, with no Crime Prison Island, the world will fall into peace, and everyone will achieve eternal happiness."
"By the time I and the Marshal enter the Supreme Council, the Navy will certainly become the new giant corporations."
Kilga and others looked at each other, sighing, "Yes..."
With Six Gods saying so, what else can be done? Fight.
After finishing with Cangyue, we'll fight Crime Prison Island, and afterward, there will be nothing left to fight; we can finally rest.
The generals withdrew, leaving only Six Gods and the Marshal in the field.
The Marshal looked at Six Gods, "This move by the giant corporations is an open plot. Can we eliminate Crime Prison Island?"
Six Gods solemnly said, "This must be done, Marshal!"
"Now that 'Crime Prison Island' has grown, the giant corporations believe that this way, Crime Prison Island won't be easily destroyed nor unified, maintaining a chaotic stance, and even stuffed our Navy in. In such future hundreds and thousands of years, they can enjoy a peaceful life, but it's overly naive."
"The giant corporations' vision is too narrow; they have always been wary of us, yet they don't know that our core objective has always been to exterminate Crime Prison Island, never intending a coup."
"Now that they've moved Crime Prison Island to our territory, my determination remains unchanged. Then we'll destroy Second Earth along with it!"
The Marshal worriedly said, "What about Kilga and these people? I'm afraid we can't sustain this."
Six Gods closed his eyes and said, "No need to sustain it; I was just making a show earlier. They are bound to rebel... Tai Sui will surely not miss the chance to absorb these people."
"Let Tai Sui fully subdue them then..."
"By then, our regular Navy can rightfully eliminate them along with the rest."
The Marshal was stunned: "But that's 40% of our Navy's forces!"
Six Gods suddenly opened his eyes and emphatically declared, "No, they are no longer the Navy, they are prisoners of Crime Prison Island."
"Even if we take them in and recognize them, under the rules of Crime Prison Island, they already belong to the repentant players."
"If possible, I certainly hope they all live into the new era."
"But if we don't eliminate these people, it doesn't count as eradicating Crime Prison Island."
The Marshal was forlorn: "Are we giving up our foundation accumulated over so many years just like this?"
"We initially planned to establish a second civilization with them on New Earth."
Six Gods firmly stated, "The idea is wonderful, but reality is harsh. This incident further proves that as long as the Emperor's Contract exists, we can never construct a new civilization."
"A single decree from them can destroy all of someone else's efforts."
"And to break the Emperor's Contract, we must destroy Crime Prison Island."
"However many criminals there are, that's how many need to be killed!"
The Marshal closed his eyes: "After this conference, we will begin?"
Six Gods said solemnly, "No, during the conference, it's the best opportunity."
"With no True Dragon, the Angel Envoys all leave... Crime Prison Island is unprecedentedly vulnerable."
"The giant corporations have created a huge opportunity for us."
