The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 386: We Earthlings Have Always Used Virtue to Persuade Others!

The Chieftain of the First Tribe was a robust Lunar individual who appeared quite peculiar due to his open eyes - he wasn't blind!

"Chieftain, there's someone outside claiming to be from Earth who wishes to meet you."

The Chieftain, who was taking a brief rest, suddenly widened his eyes and appeared at the entrance of the tribe, where he saw Emperor Kong.

As Emperor Kong had anticipated, the Chieftain of the First Tribe was also an eighth-order powerhouse, with his strength seemingly reaching the level of the Eighth Order Mid-Term.

The Chieftain scrutinized Emperor Kong and nodded slightly, "Indeed different from us. You are the Human from the mother planet Earth?"

Emperor Kong noticed that the Chieftain's eyes were unexpectedly bright, causing him to pause; weren't Lunar people's eyes supposed to be blind?

"I am Emperor Kong, hailing from Earth. May I know how to address you, sir?"

"You can call me Yun."

Being the Chieftain of the First Tribe, he certainly had a name, but few were qualified to address him by it.

"Yun, have you ever considered leading the people of the Moon to return to the mother planet Earth? Earth has returned to our control, and by returning, you will enjoy the same rights as us," Emperor Kong stated earnestly.

"I refuse!"

Emperor Kong was taken aback. This was his first attempt at diplomacy, and it had failed right out of the gate, making him lose face.

"Why?"

"I hold the greatest power here. If I go to Earth, will you grant me the same authority?" Yun's face held a hint of mockery, indicating that even though appearances had changed somewhat, their intelligence remained intact.

Many were of the mindset that they would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

Emperor Kong shook his head, "There's only one person on Earth with the greatest power."

Emperor Kong meant that the most powerful person on Earth was Su Chen, not Yun.

However, Yun misunderstood the statement, thinking that the person before him, Emperor Kong, was the most powerful individual on Earth. Consequently, defeating him would make Yun the most powerful person across both Earth and the Moon.

"If I defeat you, I'll be it!"

Before the words had even settled, Yun launched an attack on Emperor Kong. Being a powerful member of the Lunar people in such an environment, their most potent weapons were their own bodies, similar to the Guangtou Qiang.

Crash!

Yun's fist struck Emperor Kong, sending him flying. Emperor Kong stabilized mid-air, and Yun followed up with a series of attacks without giving Emperor Kong any time to react.

Their battle remained within the vicinity; the fluctuations of energy they emitted didn't spread far, indicating their high control over their own energy.

Though they managed to contain their energy, they couldn't silence the noise. The loud impacts reached the ears of the people of the First Tribe, who quickly discovered the situation.

"What's that sound?"

"Somebody's fighting! Who's audacious enough to cause trouble in our First Tribe?"

"That's... the Chieftain! When did someone appear who could battle against the Chieftain?"

The members of the First Tribe were astonished. For many years, only their Chieftain had reached that level. According to ancient records, this realm was the Eighth Order, granting the qualification to fly.

For a Human to fly with their own body was akin to being divine in the eyes of the Lunar people. In fact, in the Lunar people's perceptions, this Chieftain had been somewhat deified.

Yun and Emperor Kong's battle captivated almost everyone from the First Tribe, but with their abilities, most couldn't discern the details of the fight. Only a few Seventh Order powerhouses could barely perceive some of it.

"What an impressive individual. He can match the Chieftain blow for blow. Who is he? Why have I never seen him before?"

"Who knows?"

As they conversed, Emperor Kong and Yun separated. Emperor Kong's clothes were undamaged, while Yun looked quite miserable. Not only were his animal hide clothes tattered, but one of his eyes was also swollen.

As Humans transcended, their physical constitution improved alongside their strength. As an Emperor of the eighth order, Emperor Kong's physical constitution had reached a level of strength that allowed him to stand confidently even against the Lunar people born on the Moon.

"You're strong, but that was just the beginning," Yun's eyes were full of excitement.

Since becoming an eighth-order powerhouse, he hadn't experienced such an exhilarating battle.

However, Emperor Kong wasn't interested in a protracted fight with Yun. He had come for a specific purpose.

"That's enough. I came here this time hoping that the Lunar people could return to the Earth and enjoy the same rights as us. I'm not here to provoke you. We Earthlings have always used virtue to persuade others. Every Earthling can attest to that," Emperor Kong earnestly stated.

If he knew that the phrase "used virtue to persuade others" had another interpretation, he probably wouldn't have said it.

In fact, after Emperor Kong arrived, Su Chen had been monitoring the situation. Upon hearing Emperor Kong's words, Su Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

"That's true. We do indeed prefer to use virtue to persuade others, but the concept of virtue can be quite nuanced," Su Chen chuckled.

Yun wasn't interested in listening to Emperor Kong. He continued to seek battle. In the end, Emperor Kong waved his hand, sending Yun flying and seriously injuring him.

"Your... your strength..." Yun widened his eyes, looking at Emperor Kong in disbelief.

"I didn't want to resort to this, but my strength wouldn't allow otherwise."

The aura Emperor Kong emanated suddenly exploded to reveal that he was a Late Eighth Order powerhouse!

After this period of time, Emperor Kong's strength had finally advanced, making him the sole Late Eighth Order Emperor among Humans.

Late Eighth Order Emperor Kong easily defeated Yun, an 8th Order Early-Term individual, without the latter even being aware of Emperor Kong's actual strength.

"I lost. I agree to your terms."

Lunar people were straightforward; since they weren't a match and considering the possibility of returning to Earth wasn't unacceptable.

Having settled the matter with the Chieftain of the First Tribe, the other tribes had nothing to worry about.

The First Tribe's Chieftain issued orders, spreading the news of the Lunar people's return to Earth throughout all the tribes. He also conveyed that Earthlings would be coming soon and advised against conflict.

What might have been a troublesome task was effortlessly resolved by Emperor Kong.

Invited by Yun, Emperor Kong entered the interior of the First Tribe and tasted the unique cuisine and wine of the Moon's underground.

"I've had a question bothering me, and I hope Chieftain Yun can clear it up."

"Please, Emperor Kong, ask away."

"Why is it that other Lunar people are born blind, while your eyes are fine?"

If Emperor Kong had asked this question at the beginning, Yun wouldn't have answered. But now...

"In fact, this matter concerns a secret of our Lunar people. Only the Chieftains of generations past are aware of it. Originally, this secret wasn't to be shared with anyone else, but you are an Earthling and thus not part of it."

"It's because our ancestors were Earth's criminals!"
