Due to the attack on Sirius c, the Sirius Civilization has descended into chaos. Conflicts have arisen among the upper echelons, with some accusing Jin Ye: "Billions of people died just like that, and our home planet became a graveyard. You’ve committed an unforgivable sin!" Jin Ye was unable to defend himself. How could he have known that the enemy could destroy all lifeforms and mechanical creations on the entire planet in such a short time? "Everyone, the situation is as it is now, we can only try our best to eliminate the enemy!" someone said. "Eliminate? With what?" "Blue Star Civilization only dispatched one Warp Speed Battleship to deal such a blow to us. According to intelligence, five more Warp Speed Battleships are coming from the Proxima Centauri Star System towards Sirius. When they arrive, it’ll be us who get eliminated!" "If we keep fighting, there will only be one path — death!" The Neutron Annihilation Device has caused most members of the Sirius Civilization to lose the courage to continue resisting. Actually, if they exerted some effort, Huang Sheng and his Warp Speed Battleships surely wouldn’t be able to leave. But at this time, the chaos within the civilization has caused problems in military command. Several Warp Speed Battleship captains are considering whether to continue fighting or retreat. "We cannot surrender to Blue Star Civilization. Even without Sirius c, we have more planets and star systems! We can fight again!" Courageous individuals within Sirius Civilization said. But compared to the panic of the majority, the few rational ones simply couldn’t make an impact. "We can’t fight anymore! Sirius c was destroyed, those with power have fled into space, and it’s us civilians who die!" "Right, those shameless people have us fighting while they flee in escape!" "Why not surrender? After all, we were previously an affiliated civilization of the Maoshi Star Civilization. It’s not impossible to become an affiliated civilization of Blue Star Civilization now." At this time, there surprisingly appeared a large number of surrender factions within Sirius Civilization, and their voices kept growing stronger. "Continue the propaganda, make them surrender!" Cui Weimin ordered the intelligence department to conduct propaganda within Sirius Civilization’s territory. Another spy emerged, appealing to the Sirius Civilization: "Our enemy is the Maoshi Star Civilization, not you!" "As long as you surrender, we can ensure you live as you did before!" "Our battleships are about to arrive. All resistors will have only one path — death!" "Maoshi Star Civilization cannot protect you. Their fleet is being intercepted by the Star Trading Group’s fleet!" The robotic spy that previously made the announcement was destroyed by angry citizens. Now, as the spy appeared, some wanted to destroy it but were stopped by others: "Do you want our entire civilization to be buried?" "He’s right. This is a war between Blue Star Civilization and Maoshi Star Civilization. There’s no need for us to sacrifice for it!" "Surrender, we can’t fight anymore!" "Those who prevent us from surrendering are Maoshi Star Civilization spies. We are being attacked while they enjoy leisure and escape early!" These voices grew increasingly intense, so much so that when Jin Ye ordered the Warp Speed Battleship captains to attack Huang Sheng, two captains openly defied orders. They responded: "For the safety of the civilians, we have decided to stop attacking Blue Star Civilization!" "Damn it, we clearly can keep fighting!" No matter how angrily Jin Ye cursed, the other side ignored him. "It’s useless." a high-ranking member sighed, "If we united and kept fighting, Blue Star Civilization wouldn’t be able to inflict more damage upon us."

Among us elites, joining Maoshi Star Civilization has become our lifelong goal, leaving behind nothing but a rabble!" "They’ve destroyed not only Sirius c but also our last psychological defense!" People sighed in despair. Some high-ranking members had already disappeared; everyone knew they had boarded warships and fled to other civilizations of the Maoshi Star Union. If even the high-ranking members acted this way, could one still rely on unarmed ordinary citizens to resist Blue Star Civilization? "They’ve stopped attacking!" Huang Sheng already noticed the decreased desire for the enemy’s attack and reported the intelligence to the command headquarters. "It seems we’ve already intimidated them." He Xingzhou re-entered the Virtual Universe, making contact with the Sirius Civilization. This time, when he met Jin Ye, the other’s smugness and arrogance had completely vanished, leaving only anxiety and unease. "How about it, have you thought it through?" He Xingzhou asked. "We only lost one planet; our military strength is still intact!" Jin Ye attempted to argue. He Xingzhou smiled and said, "Really? That doesn’t match what I’ve learned. Hasn’t the Sirius Civilization’s military morale collapsed, with each fleeing?" "You don’t need to say that to me," He Xingzhou said, "This will be the last time I contact you. If you’re resolute in not surrendering, then keep fighting!" "Neutron annihilation is just the beginning!" His words struck more terror into Jin Ye’s heart: could Blue Star Civilization possibly have even more terrifying weapons? After a moment of contemplation, Jin Ye helplessly said: "We can surrender, but there are a few conditions." "Isn’t that better?" He Xingzhou laughed; the negotiation experts would take the stage next. During the negotiations, the two sides temporarily ceased hostilities, allowing Huang Sheng and others to escape from the depths of the Sirius Civilization. Supporting battleships were also rushing in. Blue Star Civilization’s negotiation experts were discussing with Sirius Civilization, and the other side’s conditions were not many. Their upper echelon didn’t care about how Blue Star Civilization would treat the ordinary people of Sirius Civilization; their only request was for Blue Star Civilization to give them enough time to evacuate.
