Although Di Feiwen said so sincerely, Li Yao still had no intention of agreeing immediately, but shook his head slightly and said: "I'm afraid you misunderstood, I am not the 'Overlord of the Star Sea Border', as for the 'Overlord', the 'Supreme of the Three Realms'" 'Ah, 'King of the Black Wind', there is no interest in such messy titles or managing a huge fleet or country."
"Very understanding."
Di Feiwen nodded and said, "The so-called power and status are often just shortcuts to ultimate power.
If a strong man possesses unrivaled power, he does not need to be bound by power, status and reputation.
Own.
"In the center of the sea of stars, there are many strong men like President Li who like to be unrestrained and absolutely free.
They focus on impacting the higher realm of human evolution and exploring places that no one has ever set foot on before.
Naturally, they have nothing to do with the mundane affairs of the world.
Interested.
"However, the Black Wind Fleet has its own complete operating system.
I can barely serve the fleet for another few decades.
I don't need you to manage it personally.
I only need to rely on your strength and prestige to reunite people and inspire them."
It's just morale; just like your wife is not a managerial cultivator, but she can still become the Speaker of the Star Federation with an undisputed attitude."
"Speaking of this" Li Yao said coldly, "I am proud of my identity as a 'citizen of the Star Federation' and will never give up this identity.
Whether the Federation recognizes dual nationality is still a question, and I will not easily agree to me being the 'King of Black Wind'" '.
"Why don't you agree?"
Di Feiwen asked, "Now the Federation is also eager to peacefully solve the complex and endless troubles left by the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet.
It also wants to get our huge fleet, as well as more intelligence and information about the True Human Empire, and even hopes to pass The Black Wind Fleet has some level of direct contact with the True Human Empire.
As long as you agree to become our new leader, all this will be possible.
"I know that the Starry Star Federation has its own insurmountable principles, but this small request we made does not violate any of your laws or even moral principles, right?
No one will be harmed in this transaction.
On the contrary, If it can save the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people, why wouldn’t the Federal Parliament do it?”
"You are very sharp-tongued.
I'm beginning to understand why you can still become the number two figure in the smoky Black Wind Fleet despite having no fighting ability."
Li Yao remained unmoved, "Unfortunately, you are not sincerely surrendering to me.
You just want to use my fame and prestige to seek personal gain for yourself, maintain a certain degree of independence, and even become a member of the Federation."
It’s just a cancer.”
"Of course."
Di Feiwen said calmly, "President Li, please think about it from our perspective.
Although our Black Wind Fleet suffered a disastrous defeat, at least one-third of the fleet was still unscathed and still capable of fighting." , and the arrogance from the super hegemony in the center of the star sea is even more impossible to be wiped out instantly.
In this case, is it possible for us to unconditionally lay down our weapons and surrender?
"Whether it is the Federation of Stars or the True Human Empire, the 'Dark Forest' theory has been quite popular for a while.
Although this theory may not be a universal truth, some of its details are worth learning from.
For example,' Chain of Suspicion'.
"Aren't the current Star Glory Federation and the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet trapped in a strange cycle of suspicion?
Even if the remnants of the Black Wind Fleet want to surrender, they are worried about what kind of fate they will face after surrender, and whether they will suffer inhumane consequences.
Will the torture continue?
Will the families and descendants on the immigrant ships be so tired that they will always mine on the deserted planet on the edge of the Star Sea and become a pile of dead bones deep in the mines, never having the chance to return to their hometown in the center of the Star Sea?
The battle flag fluttered in the wind again.
"Similarly, even if I don't put forward any conditions today and surrender unconditionally, won't the federal side doubt us?
"No, you will also worry about whether these rebellious immortal cultivators have ulterior motives and will rebel again.
You will rack your brains to be vigilant, prepared and weaken us.
The two sides will accelerate friction in mutual distrust and fall into viciousness.
The cycle ends with 'fake becoming real', making another rebellion real.

"For me, surrender is not a problem.
The problem is the relationship and trust between the two parties after the surrender.
For you to serve as the new generation of 'King of Black Wind' is the best thing I can think of to break the 'chain of suspicion' between each other." way."
"You don't have to worry about that."
Li Yao said decisively, "The Federation keeps its word.
We can even integrate the Blood Demon Realm, which had blood feuds for hundreds of years in the past.
Now the Blood Demon Realm is an important part of the Xingyao Federation, and many demon clans have become members of the Federation and various key positions.
The leader must know that when the hatred between the two sides was at its deepest, the Blood Demon Realm almost broke through the federal capital!
"One-third of the Black Wind fleet under your command has never even entered the territory of the Federation.
There is no blood feud among them, so what do you worry about?"
"No, that's different."
Di Feiwen shook his head and said, "From the perspective of the entire human world, the Blood Demon World is one of the last demon worlds.
They are already at an absolute strategic disadvantage, so digesting and absorbing them will not cause too many troubles.
"But the Black Wind Fleet is different.
Behind us is the huge Real Human Empire.
If the delicate relationship between the Empire, the Black Wind Fleet and the Federation is not properly handled, if one day the Federation really conflicts with the Empire, no matter you Whoever wins and who loses, the first one to suffer must be the Black Wind Fleet.
"The most important point is that the so-called fusion of the Blood Demon Realm and the Tianyuan Realm has a very important prerequisite.
Jin Xinyue, the leader of the Blood Demon Realm, is your true disciple.
This is known to the whole world and has become the basis of trust between the two parties.
This Doesn’t it also prove the importance of becoming the ‘King of Black Wind’ from another aspect?
Because what we need is just such a ‘foundation of trust’.”
Di Feiwen had good reasons.
Li Yao really couldn't refute it, but it was a bit ridiculous.
Half a year ago, during the battle with the Black Wind Fleet in the Star Sea, and the life-and-death fight with Hei Yeming on the bridge of the Black Whirlpool, he never imagined that one day, Hei Yeming would be killed.
The remaining soldiers of the Feng Fleet actually cried and asked him to take over Hei Yeming's position.
"Aren't you worried that after I become the 'King of Black Wind', I will use the Black Wind Fleet as cannon fodder?"
Li Yao asked in disbelief.
"That's what I said" Di Feiwen said in a long voice, "Even if you are not the 'King of Black Wind', as long as we choose to surrender, won't the Federation treat the Black Wind Fleet as cannon fodder?"
Li Yao was speechless for a moment and couldn't speak for a long time.
"We believe that the strategic vision of the Star Star Federation should be able to see that there is no possibility of long-term peaceful coexistence between the Star Star Federation and today's True Human Empire."
Di Feiwen smiled slightly and continued to talk, "In the past, the empire did not know the existence of the Federation, and the two sides could still live in peace and harmony under the cover of the vast sea of stars.
But unfortunately, in the past ten years, there has been more or less Some information about the Star Sea border was sent back to the empire.
"This information may not be sent directly to the imperial capital, to the court and the emperor, and the empire, which is busy launching a strategic counterattack against the Holy Alliance, even if it collects this information, has no time to reach out to the border of the Star Sea for a while.
“But how long can such a fragile ‘peace’ last, twenty years, ten years, or shorter?
"If the Shining Star Federation wants to defend its small territory and principles, it must not sit back and wait for the day when the empire's soldiers invade the territory.
It can only choose to take the initiative and attack, which may not necessarily be a large-scale military attack.
It is more likely to infiltrate into the empire.
Subtly change the empire from the political and institutional levels, and transform today’s empire into something else, Chairman Li, am I right?”
Li Yao was shocked.
He really didn't expect that this ordinary deputy commander of the Black Wind Fleet would have such a ruthless strategic vision.
Indeed, even after winning the Battle of Star Sea cleanly and neatly, the judgment of many strategic experts in the Federation is still that the Star Federation does not have the ability to engage in a "total war" with the True Human Empire.
A battle in the Star Sea can be won by the right time, place and people, but if it is a war that spans hundreds of years, it will be a head-to-head competition without any pretense based on the combined national strength of both sides.
Even if there are ten more Li Yaos Adding ten ding bells is not enough to change the outcome of this kind of war.
Therefore, if the Federation wants to march into the center of the Star Sea, at least within a few hundred years, it is unlikely that it will go all the way in an unstoppable manner.
It is more likely to send some elites to infiltrate into the empire and seize the so-called "original people" and "real people".

"Conflicts between", find ways to disintegrate the empire from within, at least to transform the empire to some extent!
Li Yao proposed this idea when he launched the "Black Hole Project" more than a hundred years ago.
It has been enriched to what it is today through the planning and deduction of countless strategic masters.
Unexpectedly, Di Feiwen went straight to the core, and hit the nail on the head.
Li Yao couldn't help but feel that "heroes see the same thing", and he thought more highly of this "business general" with deer-headed and rat-like eyes.
"If the Federation, or President Li himself, really wants to divide, transform or even subvert the empire from within, then our Black Wind Fleet will undoubtedly be your most important help."
Di Feiwen was still respectful and respectful, as if he had treated Li Yao as the "King of Black Wind", "Similarly, as long as President Li is willing to officially become 'Black Wind' in front of the five major world immortal cultivators in public, including Black Wind, King of Wind', and tell the world about this result, we are also willing to believe in your oath and promise, and believe that you will lead us... to fight back to the center of the star sea!"
