The topic of the meeting changed whether to meet with the Federation of Allurion and the Giteron Dynasty. It was good news that they requested to meet, meaning they intended to have a conversation and maybe resolve the issue between them. That was the better situation for the Tang Empire, allowing them to have more time to focus on growing their forces instead of continuously fighting against The Federation of Allurion and The Giteron Dynasty.

"I think we should meet them and find out what they want to talk about. They can not set up a trap in the Starter City. We don't need to worry about the meeting being a trap." Li Shuang was the first one to suggest meeting the Federation of Allurion and the Giteron Dynasty, "If we can resolve the issue with a conversation is better than fighting them out."

"I agree with the peace if they propose a peace. However, we can't just agree with whatever they propose. We have to ask compensation for what they started," Jasmine agreed to meet, but she had a different opinion regarding the peace. Those two factions would keep looking down at the Tang Empire if they just agreed to what they were proposing, "I agree to meet them."

The rest voiced their opinions, more about the same. They agreed to meet with the two factions and listened to what they had to say after the battle. Everyone also agreed with Jasmine that they had to ask for something for compensation in return just like how the Divine Church compensated them.

The meeting was postponed and would be continued after meeting with the Federation of Allurion and The Giteron Dynasty. Tang Shaoyang brought six people with him, Zhang Mengyao, Jasmine, Wei Xi, Li Shuang, Alton, and Kang Jiayi. Kang Jiayi for the first time decided to participate in the external issue of the empire.

As Tang Shaoyang headed to the teleportation to the Dimensional Tower, he heard Afi's voice in his head, "I have enough fun, and the guy is dead. Do you want me to bring the body back or just throw him away?"

Tang Shaoyang stopped his steps and turned around, "Wait a minute. I have to take something," Using the Spirit Switch, he switched positions with Afi and stored the dead body in his inventory.

Augusto Thamsen was beyond recognition. His skin was charred, and his face was unrecognizable. If he brought the body to his wife, Augusto Thamsen's wife would not be able to recognize her husband for sure.

Tang Shaoyang switched his position with Afi once more and returned to the Smart Base. He returned with his original body. There was no more fight for the time being if the meeting went well. By the time he returned, the others were far in the distance, looking at him cautiously. He forgot to remind them about Afi, and fortunately, they did not start attacking Afi.

[You scared me. I almost attacked your people. Please remind me if you want to do that again!] The Primordial Urosa complained.

"That's one of my spirits," He explained briefly before leading them to the portal room.

Tang Shaoyang and his group arrived in front of the Dimensional Tower, where everything started. If they did not enter the Dimensional Tower, this war would also not happen. But that was a stupid statement because all of these would never have happened if the System did not enter Earth.

He was about to step into the Dimensional Tower until he received a message from Kang Xue. He tapped on the message.

[The First Order Guild and The Polar Guild request a meeting with us. Do you want to meet them? They are in the Dimensional Tower's entrance city. Or should I meet them instead?]

Tang Shaoyang really forgot about these factions from Earth. Out of the ten top factions of Earth, only three of them did not participate in the fight against the Tang Empire. The First Order Guild, The Polar Guild, and The Revolution Kingdom. He did not hear anything about the Revolution Kingdom, but the First Order Guild and The Polar Guild took on the Tang Empire's side at the last moment. At least, that was what he heard from Zhang Mengyao.

"There are still many things we need to take care of, hah…." He remembered the prisoners of the World Government. They managed to capture them all during the fight in India, and they had not decided what to do with them yet.

"Let's take care of it one by one. It's not like we are in a hurry unless The Federation of Allurion and the Giteron Dynasty decide to continue the war with us," Zhang Mengyao tapped her shoulder and smiled.

Tang Shaoyang nodded and sent the reply to Kang Xue. He asked her to meet them and asked them what they wanted. He did not really want to deal with more people because the mental exhaustion started to catch up. It had been more than months, almost a year, that he had been stressed out about the war, and he felt like he reached the end of it, close to the end of everything, at least, for twenty years.

They stepped into the Dimensional Tower once more and were greeted by The Intelligent Division's people. The meeting was held in the Administration Building, the neutral zone. It was where everything also started, the start of the conflict between the Tang Empire and the other three factions that ended up with a big conflict that involved the God Ranks.

Four seats were prepared at the center, and two people were waiting for their seats. Those two were from the Federation of Allurion and The Giteron Dynasty. The one who sat on the left was an elf, a dashing elf that looked like someone in their mid-twenties. However, the elf's look was deceiving. The elf might be a few hundred years old. He wore an official robe with the federation emblem across the robe with four people standing behind him, two elves and two beastmen.

To the right was a man with a thick gray beard, wearing the official tunic with a red mantle with the Giteron Dynasty's emblem on it. The man had a solemn look and furrowed his brow at the sight of Tang Shaoyang. Three men and two men stood behind him. Three of them showed obvious hostility toward Tang Shaoyang's group while the other two looked neutral.

Tang Shaoyang took the seat across from the elf, sitting next to the man with the thick beard, "I have a lot of things that must be taken care of, so let's get to the main topic directly. What do you want to say to me."

The elf man smiled and nodded, "You must be very busy, and I am grateful that you are willing to come to meet us. My name is Daen Daeric, Chief of the Prime Minister of the Federation of Allurion. He is…." He was about to introduce the thick-bearded man, but the man waved his hand.

"I can introduce myself. My name is Vincent Lascaris, and the son of Archduke Lascaris of the Giteron Dynasty. My father is supposed to come, but since he has reached God Rank, he could not enter this low-rank dimensional tower!"

"Do I have to introduce my name? I don't think I need to since you two must know about me already since your people might have sent the report about me. Let's get to the point, what do you want to say to me?" Tang Shaoyang was not going to be polite to them.

"Rude!" The man with the blue mantle behind Vincent spoke up, pointing his finger at Tang Shaoyang, "Barbarian is always a Barbarian!"

Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle, "There's someone who said that to me in the past, but that person is a corpse right now."

"Please control your people, Sir Vincent." Daen immediately interrupted before things escalated further. He could understand why Tang Shaoyang acted like he was. No one would treat their enemies politely. He would do the same if his world was invaded too.

The man was about to flare up when the elf took on Tang Shaoyang's side, but Vincent glared at the man. He did not say anything, but the man immediately took a few steps back.

"We tried to invite the representative of the Divine Church as well, but they refused to join. So we will start the meeting with just three factions," Daen took over the meeting with his gentle voice.

"I have made a truce agreement with Nirvana. So there's nothing to talk about between Nirvana and The Tang Empire," Tang Shaoyang mentioned the truce agreement, but not the details. Like how long the truce was, he intended to mention the compensation because that could give him in advantage to get more compensation from the Federation of Allurion and The Giteron Dynasty. He also mentioned Nirvana instead of The Divine Church, telling them that he spoke directly to the God Ranks that backed the Divine Church. That had more effect than saying he made a truce with the Divine Church as Nirvana was a bigger entity than a single Divine Church.

The two were stunned to hear that from Tang Shaoyang. It was hard to believe that Nirvana would take the initiative to make a truce agreement.

"You can take your time to confirm it if you don't believe me," Tang Shaoyang shrugged.

Vincent and Daen did not try to hide that they were sending messages through the communication System. They were trying to confirm the truce agreement because it could affect what they were going to talk about with Tang Shaoyang.
