One of the well-informed high-ranking officials went up to inspect for a while and found there were many items, most of which he didn't even recognize.

However, from the energy, appearance, and color evaluation, he realized that all of these items were quite valuable.

"How is it?" Chen Tianzhi inquired.

The high-ranking official, bewildered, said, "These items, although many are unknown to me, I estimate that their value is at least a billion!"

Another high-ranking official tentatively asked, "Paper money?"

"Are you kidding? Who uses that garbage now?"

The high-ranking official with appraisal abilities said, "I'm talking about ordinary Spirit Monster Cores!"

"What..."

Instantly, everyone, including Chen Tianzhi, was shocked.

Of course, they weren't surprised by the value of these items; as high-ranking officials of Earth Civilization, they were each extremely wealthy and wouldn't be amazed by such small things.

What truly surprised them was how Dai Changlin and the others acquired these items.

Weren't those guys on a diplomatic mission to the enemy race?

"Did you go shopping?"

Chen Tianzhi looked at Dai Changlin, puzzled, and said, "Or did you go robbing?"

Dai Changlin, helpless, said, "President, although unbelievable, I have already explained that these items were gifted to us by the Volcano Race."

Chen Tianzhi squinted his eyes, solemnly said, "Explain your experience in detail, without any concealment!"

"Yes!"

...

An hour later.

In the main conference room of the Alliance Headquarters' safe zone.

All high-ranking officials of the Earth Alliance, including Chen Tianzhi, were present.

But everyone remained silent without speaking for a long time.

They had already learned all about the mission to the Volcano Race from Dai Changlin and others.

The ten people recounted everything in detail, including being warmly received upon entering the Volcano Race's territory, being personally greeted by the clan leader, receiving gifts, and even being arranged with beautiful attendants.

Even what happened to Chen Niu was told, such important matters could not be concealed.

And then——

That was it.

All the high-ranking officials of the Earth Alliance were dumbfounded; wasn't there supposed to be a war?

How did it suddenly become so amicable?

After a long time——

An elderly white man spoke in a deep voice, "The Volcano Race must be trying to lull us into a false sense of security!"

"That's right, I think so too, the Volcano Race absolutely cannot be so kind, they are trying to lull us and then launch a sudden attack!"

"We absolutely cannot let our guard down, the war between civilized races is indeed not simple, even I nearly got deceived!"

"But, the gifts from the Volcano Race are genuine, how do we explain that?"

"Maybe they think that after destroying us, they can take them back, those so-called gifts are just to lull us."

The vast majority of the high-ranking officials suspected there was deception involved.

Because they really couldn't understand how the Volcano Race suddenly changed from full of malice to being hospitable.

Chen Tianzhi hadn't spoken from beginning to end because even he couldn't figure out why the Volcano Race suddenly became so friendly.

In fact, if it were only the words of those ten envoys, he wouldn't fully believe it either, because it could be a plot of the Volcano Race, perhaps the Volcano Race had some means to bypass the Marvel 'Absolute Defense' and control those ten people?

However——

He had already received reports that all Volcano Race spies had vanished, those who were originally wandering near Alliance Headquarters had all withdrawn.

The malice that had been weighing on everyone's hearts had also dissipated.

All of this indicated that the malice from the Volcano Race truly disappeared, their attitude might indeed be genuine.

But——

Why?

Several possibilities flashed through Chen Tianzhi's mind, then he eliminated them one by one.

Finally, he suddenly thought of the light that lit up the world from the horizon not long ago, that world-shaking explosion.

And after thinking of this, he couldn't help but link it with the request for aid from the 13th Independent Regiment not long ago.

He clearly remembered the commander of the 13th Independent Regiment once said that there was a Creator Conceptual Superpower User on their side, they had great confidence in completely destroying the minor Drought Fiend, and even had hope of killing the real Drought Fiend!

Instantly, his pupils contracted, feeling his hair stand on end.

"Is it possible?!"

He muttered in a voice even he could barely hear.

The Drought Fiend, that was a Celestial-level creature, calculated by Conceptual System superpowers, it was a being above level seventy.

The strongest in Earth Civilization now was merely the Human Limit.

And the Human Limit was only level forty.

Level seventy was Earth's Limit, surpassing level seventy, meaning from seventy-one upwards, they could be considered Celestial-level.

From this, it can be seen how far Earth Civilization is from reaching Celestial-level now!

Chen Tianzhi quickly calculated various possibilities in his mind.

Based on his many years of political experience, after eliminating all impossible events, the one remaining, no matter how incredible, had a ninety-nine percent chance of being the correct answer!

Thinking of this, he didn't bother with other endlessly debating high-ranking officials, he directly took out the receipt of the Celestial Marvel to inquire about the 13th Independent Regiment.

He didn't mention the matter of the Volcano Race, but asked about their plan.

...

Outside the Xu Race ruins, in the abyss more than eight thousand meters below.

It was still pitch black here.

The light beam that previously shot into the sky had disappeared, ordered off by Jia Weixin.

Because there was no longer any need to wait for Yang Yuan, keeping that light source on would only attract other dangers.
