Do Star Descendants have power struggles? Absolutely, as long as there are social creatures, there will be distinctions in rank, and power is the ability to allocate resources. If you want to seize more resources, you must vie for power, no one is exempt. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

However, due to the nature of Star Descendants, such power struggles are more direct and brutal, often culminating in violence.

But the problem is, it’s fine how you vie for power at home—settle it before coming out for negotiation, rather than deliberately vetoing someone else’s deal midway during negotiations to show off your power. Do you know who you’re offending? Would you dare to make such an offense lightly?

Anthony gave an order, and Little Angel darted forward, flashed before a Fur Star Descendant, giving it a thrashing, and finally pinching its White Crystal before retreating.

Although this Fur Ball Star Descendant was much larger than its companions, it was like a child before Little Angel.

"Don’t, Lord." The Elf Star Descendant said anxiously.

Silver Coin asked, "Who is it? Your superior?"

The Elf Star Descendant said, "Yes."

"Who has the authority here? Can it override the conditions we previously agreed on?" Silver Coin asked.

The Elf Star Descendant hurriedly said, "No, it’s sent by the council to supervise us, it only has supervisory authority. But it’s the only one with the authority to mobilize what you need, which is why we called it here. It might not be aware of your identity and didn’t mean to offend you."

"You still have a council?" Anthony asked in shock, Star Descendants actually have a council?

"Yes, we are intelligence merchants of the Borodok Star Alliance." The Elf Star Descendant said.

Everyone instinctively glanced at Luomu Luo’er.

Luomu Luo’er said, "Never heard of this name, but the Star Alliance, it should be on this branch. This branch has formed several alliances like the Star Alliance, Lonely Star Republic, Five-Star Community, and so on, without a Branch Lord, it’s quite chaotic."

Anthony showed the Star Map, pinpointed their branch, and the Elf Star Descendant nodded, "It’s here."

Anthony put away the Star Map, dismissively waved his hand, "It doesn’t matter where you’re from, since it offended us, it must bear the consequences. Do you have a superior above it? Call them over to apologize and compensate."

The Elf Star Descendant nodded briskly, turned around and flew back the way it came, seeming a bit enthusiastic.

Negris hesitantly said, "Is this alright? Isn’t it a bit overbearing? Just for an offense, detaining for compensation and apology? Luomu Luo’er, how do you handle creatures that offend you?"

Negris is essentially a good old dragon, rarely seen angry even when mocked or teased.

"Offend me?" Luomu Luo’er blinked, a bit puzzled, "You... I don’t seem to have encountered being offended. Once, there was something on a plane making noise, I glared at it and burnt down the whole plane, does that count as an offense?"

"...Making a noise and you burn down the entire plane? That’s not just overbearing, that’s brutal." Negris mumbled.

Luomu Luo’er indifferently said, "They disturbed me."

Durken curiously asked, "How did creatures on a plane disturb you? What sound did they make?"

As an Alchemist, Durken is more curious about this, what kind of sound can disturb a God Star from a plane, considering the distance and sound doesn’t travel through the Void, how is it possible?

"A strange kind of wave, they weren’t trying to disturb me, they just hit me with waves, and bounced back. To reflect them back, they kept adjusting the wave’s frequency, quite noisy." Luomu Luo’er explained.

Durken understood, "They hit you with waves, adjusting frequencies to find the easiest to reflect, but it annoyed you, so you burnt down their plane, is that right?"

Luomu Luo’er nodded.

Everyone exchanged glances, indeed under these circumstances, offense or non-offense doesn’t really matter. After all, if annoyance prompts complete destruction, who cares about being offended?

Tyrone sighed deeply, "Speaking of which, the Ancient Godlight is rather merciful. Our Stellaris Academy conducts similar experiments, sending signals to the Sun to measure distances, but the Ancient Godlight hasn’t tried to burn us."

"Measuring distance? How do you measure?" Negris inquired.

"It’s simply sending a signal, waiting for it to reflect back, then measuring the reflection time divided by two, multiplied by the signal’s speed, that’s the distance." Tyrone explained.

Xisluo asked, "You can measure the signal’s speed? How do you measure such fast signals?"

"It’s done first like this and that, then like so, and that’s how it’s measured." Tyrone, Ursman, and Xisluo clumped together, quickly evolving into an academic seminar.

The God of Common Sense moved discretely towards Anthony, shifted the topic, "Aren’t you worried they’ll flip out and gang up on us? We don’t understand our current situation."

This doesn’t quite fit Anthony’s usual behavior. Normally, Anthony is cautious in new places, first familiarizing with surroundings and never lightly offending others.

Anthony shrugged helplessly, "I want to take it slow too, but it’s too slow. Haven’t you realized how vast the world is here?"

Negris blinked repeatedly.

"Crossing just one branch requires a God Star’s full strength, there are seventeen such branches. If we proceed slowly, it might take millions of years to complete just one branch."

Pausing here, Anthony continued, "Thus, other branches can’t simply send a God Star over to cause trouble either. Here what matters is the ability to transfer energy rapidly. The Lord can utilize a gravitational midpoint to quickly send Little Angel over, can others do this?"

"What if they can?" Negris challenged.

"That would be excellent, proving they’re worthy allies. We need those who can extend their power into other branches." Anthony stated.

"Oh, so you’re screening potential targets?" Negris suddenly began to understand what Anthony was doing.

Anthony sighed, "Indeed, this world is inherently vast and despairing, yet when negotiating, we encounter others’ power tussles. We have no time to play these games, so might as well escalate, bring out those who can make decisions, then negotiate."

Saying this, Ange, who had been engrossed in manipulating the Space-Time Domain, suddenly looked up, glanced in five directions: up, down, left, right, front, and then resumed his work.

"They are here, seems they want to surround us, but the Lord doesn’t mind at all, looks like no threat." Then, turning to Luomu Luo’er he asked, "Lord Luo Mu, given such distance, how much power can you project? Could you demonstrate it?"
