Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 398 - 399: Forceful Stand! Refusing to Recognize the Vote!

Chapter 398: Chapter 399: Forceful Stand! Refusing to Recognize the Vote!

The actions of Yu Xuanji and the other three were surprising, yet understandable.

After all, even the Ming God couldn’t make up his mind and chose to observe, leaving them even more indecisive.

The continuous abstention of Yu Xuanji and the others focused everyone’s attention on Gu Qijue and Chen Xiao.

The Star Cluster Alliance had eleven top members, and currently, there were two votes for peace and six abstentions.

Only Gu Qijue, Chen Xiao, and Wulemi were left to vote.

Gu Qijue alone could represent two votes at this time.

So his decision became crucial.

If he also voted for peace, there would be no need for further discussion.

After all, the top members of the Star Cluster Alliance were already prepared for peace talks.

Before Gu Qijue could speak, Chen Xiao from the Peace Star Cluster spoke first.

"I don’t know the situation of the other Star Cluster Civilizations."

"But in the previous war in the Purple Crystal Star Realm, the Peaceful Civilization should be the biggest contributor aside from the Infinite Empire, Purple Crystal Civilization, and Silver Flame Civilization."

"Our contributions came at a great sacrifice."

"The current Peaceful Civilization is no longer capable of war."

"However, I do not support peace, I choose to abstain."

After Chen Xiao abstained, Gu Qijue became the key figure.

His vote would almost determine the future direction of the Star Cluster Alliance.

Many people became worried at this point.

Even Wulemi of the Purple Crystal Civilization felt uneasy.

He couldn’t believe that such an important matter could result in nine abstentions.

Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Qijue slowly rose, glanced around, and said, "Infinite Empire, supports war!"

His firm voice shook many people’s hearts, making them sigh in relief.

After so many sacrifices and accumulated hatred.

Many people believed that only one could survive between the Star Cluster Alliance and the Klein People.

After Gu Qijue stated his stance, Sathy glanced at Gu Qijue and then looked at Ming God, saying:

"Lord Ming God, why not have an anonymous vote on this matter?"

"This anonymous vote should only allow voting for war or peace, not abstention, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, many had more thoughts.

And it was at this time that Sathy voiced what was on everyone’s mind.

"If we continue to fight with the Klein People, even Supreme Leader Gu must admit that we cannot eliminate the Klein People in a short time."

"If we negotiate with the Klein People, there are two possible outcomes."

"First, after we make some concessions, the Klein People choose to coexist peacefully with us."

"Second, the Klein People go back on their word and continue to attack us."

"If the first situation happens, it would be the best news for everyone."

"If the second situation occurs, as long as we remain highly vigilant before and after the negotiations, ready for battle at any time."

"Even if peace talks happen, we should handle it as if no peace talks had occurred."

"If the Klein People do not honor their commitments, we can effectively counterattack them."

"Supreme Leader Gu, what do you think?"

Sathy’s words convinced many people.

Because his proposal was feasible, the Star Cluster Alliance could prepare for war and then negotiate with the other side.

If it succeeded, it would be great, but if it failed or something unexpected happened, it wouldn’t matter.

Anyway, the Star Cluster Alliance was ready for a great war, preparing against any possible scenario!

After Sathy asked, Gu Qijue responded calmly and strongly.

"Regardless of the voting result, regardless of the choices of other star clusters."

"The Infinite Empire will fight the Klein People to the end."

"In short, the Infinite Empire does not acknowledge the peace talks vote."

Gu Qijue’s firmness made the atmosphere in the conference room extremely tense.

Seeing this, Sathy could only say, "In that case, let’s conduct the anonymous vote first."

"If the result is for war, then there is nothing more to be said."

"Supreme Leader Gu is for war, and everyone else acknowledges the voting result."

"If the result is for peace, then we can further discuss with Supreme Leader Gu and others."

Sathy’s proposal gained agreement from many.

Gu Qijue did not hesitate and directly voted for war.

A holographic screen for anonymous voting appeared before everyone.

The voting result was quickly revealed, and it was surprising.

Because the result was forty-one star clusters for peace, and nineteen for war.

This meant that in a choice between two options, many Star Cluster Civilizations actually chose peace talks.

After this result appeared, Ming God could only look to Gu Qijue and ask, "Supreme Leader Gu, what is your take?"

Gu Qijue smiled and countered, "Lord Ming God, what about you?"

Ming God felt a bit embarrassed, as he had just voted for peace talks.

But he would never admit such things.

The advantage in the peace party’s votes made Sathy’s attitude more assertive.

He looked at Gu Qijue and said, "Supreme Leader Gu, are you still unwilling to compromise now?"

Gu Qijue casually replied, "The Infinite Empire does not acknowledge this voting result, and the attitude of the Infinite Empire will never change."

After he finished speaking, Wulemi awkwardly said, "The Purple Crystal Civilization supports Supreme Leader Gu’s decision, but the Purple Crystal Civilization also submits to the decision of the Star Cluster Alliance."

Wulemi’s words were very cunning because, currently, the decision of the Star Cluster Alliance was contrary to Gu Qijue’s decision.

He submitted to the decision of the Star Cluster Alliance, but how could he still support Gu Qijue’s decision?

At this point, the meeting became entirely deadlocked.

As the atmosphere in the conference room grew increasingly tense and solemn, Ming God decided.

"This matter is temporarily set aside."

"Let’s all return and think carefully."

"We can strive to maintain a short peace with the Klein People."

"After everyone has thought it through, we will conduct another round of voting."

"That’s it for now."

Ming God, as usual, chose to smooth things over.

But this time, the issue wasn’t so easily brushed aside.

Alfred and Sathy had already made up their minds to negotiate peace.

Gu Qijue, being resolute, refused to bend and insisted on a bloody battle to the end.

Even if there was another vote resolution next time, the result might not differ much from today.

Unless someone could persuade Gu Qijue or Alfred during this time.

As people were about to leave, Gu Qijue calmly stated:

"In the next three days, anyone willing to fight to the death with the Klein People can contact the Infinite Empire privately."

With that, his holographic image vanished completely from the conference room.

Although many had just voted for peace talks, over forty leaders still decided to contact the Infinite Empire upon hearing Gu Qijue’s words.

Peace talks were option one, but they did not trust the Klein People, so they wanted to have a backup plan.
