After listening to Shang Jianyue’s narration, the clues in Han Zhan’s mind about the Divine Heart of the Moon gradually linked together.

Indeed, Can Shang Company was involved in the development and research of the Divine Heart, but it was not led by Shang Jianyue, rather by his descendants.

The Moon is indeed the Divine Heart, but this Divine Heart shows signs of life and is not completely dead.

When these two pieces of information are combined, the truth becomes intriguing.

"Your words reminded me," Shang Jianyue pondered for a moment and suddenly spoke, "According to the information detected by my nanobot detection network, Can Shang Company possesses the ability to deliver a devastating blow."

"The destructive power is equivalent to a Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouse’s full strength. Once locked on, survival is difficult."

This is also why Shang Jianyue has been entangled with Can Shang Company for so long without a decisive outcome.

Logically, most of Can Shang Company’s technological achievements are due to the ’blessings of their ancestors’, with few truly groundbreaking innovations.

This is why when Shang Jianyue revived, he was able to seize control of Titan City and engage in a back-and-forth battle with Can Shang Company.

"Initially, I thought the threat to me should be their Annihilation Cannon installed in near-Earth orbit."

"But from what you’re saying, these unworthy descendants have already reached out to that Divine Heart. After so many years, it’s impossible that they haven’t achieved anything."

"The threat comes from deep space."

Shang Jianyue’s soliloquy left Han Zhan with new doubts.

"I know about the Annihilation Cannon; it’s a Super Near-Earth Orbit Cannon, extremely powerful. But why are you certain that the threat of the Moon’s Divine Heart is greater than that of the Annihilation Cannon?"

Shang Jianyue smiled slightly, as if seeing through Han Zhan’s thoughts: "Given the information you provided, which adds value to my subsequent plans, I can offer you equivalent intelligence in return."

"Since you already know it’s me who defined the civilization levels, from lv1 to lv6, from the most primitive nuclear energy to quantum power, then evolving to spiritual power. Have you ever wondered what lies above lv6?"

Civilization Level 6, isn’t it the pinnacle of super-technological civilizations?

What is above lv6?

"Does lv7 really exist?" Han Zhan asked instinctively.

Regarding this, not even the high-levels of Can Shang Company can be sure, let alone him.

However, the creator of this level classification, Shang Jianyue, gave him a definitive answer: "Yes!"

"Civilization Level 7, the energy it uses will no longer be spiritual power, no longer energy bricks, but—Divine Power!"

Divine Power, Divine Heart, referred to as "God" after the Realm of Transcendence,

When all these are linked together, Han Zhan’s mind suddenly comes alive, understanding everything.

"I should have thought of this long ago. Above Tier Nine, once you step into that realm, the beings in that realm are called ’Gods’, and they no longer use spiritual power, but Divine Power."

The Moon, Divine Heart, contains Divine Power!

Shang Jianyue nodded slightly, confirming his statement.

Immediately afterward, as if realizing something, Han Zhan’s expression suddenly became grim.

"So when you just mentioned wanting my help to withstand a Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouse for fifteen breaths, is this what you meant?!"

Shang Jianyue laughed heartily and did not deny it.

"At my current pace of technological development, if given half a month more, I can accumulate the power to sweep through Can Shang Company."

"As long as you can help me withstand a Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouse for fifteen breaths, I can completely expel Can Shang Company from the Blue Star! Just like how the Great Xia defeated the Imperial!"

Han Zhan didn’t fully believe Shang Jianyue’s words.

Clearly sensing Han Zhan’s questioning gaze, Shang Jianyue further explained:

"Don’t you think that Can Shang Company’s military presence on Blue Star is a bit too small?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"They obviously rake in the most money on Blue Star by owning hard commodities like energy bricks, yet their sphere of power is the second smallest among the original Five Great Forces."

"You mean..." Following Shang Jianyue’s words, Han Zhan looked up into the sky.

"Exactly, they’ve moved their main base into space."

"And what I intend to do is destroy their remaining ground forces on Blue Star."

If it really is as Shang Jianyue says, just destroying the ground forces of Can Shang Company on Blue Star, then it is indeed possible to achieve.

"But, what’s the point of that?" Han Zhan asked in confusion, "Even if the ground forces of Can Shang Company are destroyed, they still have a large Star Sea Mother Ship Strike Group."

If the ground troops represent ten percent of Can Shang Company’s combat power,

Then ninety percent of the combat power is occupied by the Star Sea Mother Ship Strike Group.

Han Zhan doesn’t understand the significance of Shang Jianyue’s actions.

On this point, Shang Jianyue didn’t explain much, "You don’t need to worry about that; you just need to focus on the part you agreed to."

"Initially, I promised you a Tier Nine, but given the current assessment, Can Shang Company’s methods might very well exceed Tier Nine," Han Zhan said, shaking his head.

Shang Jianyue raised an eyebrow, "What, as the Great Xia Leader, are you thinking of going back on your word?"

Han Zhan showed an innocent smile.

"Not going back on my word, but what I mean is, the price has to go up."

...

Eventually, Shang Jianyue and Han Zhan reached an agreement on this deal.

Upon leaving the conference room, Shang Jianyue reverted to the appearance of "Judith" and threw a flirtatious wink at Han Zhan.

Han Zhan’s lips moved slightly before he unhesitatingly turned around.

After separating from Shang Jianyue, Han Zhan returned to the previous conference room.

The conference room had only Lin Jingxuan left, who seemed to be waiting for him.

"Finished talking?"

"Yes, I’ve already sent you the results of the discussion privately." Han Zhan nodded.

Lin Jingxuan didn’t say much more.

This is his usual state, calm and reserved.

After a brief exchange with his second senior brother, Han Zhan was about to turn and leave when Lin Jingxuan’s voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Do you really have to push yourself like this?"

"Haven’t I told you, you’re not the only one in Great Xia, there’s also us and we can carry it together."

Han Zhan curled his lips without looking back.

"If the matter with the Moon can’t be resolved this time, I won’t be at ease. So the invitation from Shang Jianyue from Titan City is something I must accept."

"Great Xia now needs to recuperate, and the personnel that can be mobilized are not many. You and the first senior brother have just experienced repeated battles, you need time to recover."

"Don’t worry, it’s just a little help. I’ll be back soon."

Han Zhan deliberately made his tone sound casual, but Lin Jingxuan behind him was not fooled by this at all.

"I just had a sudden inspiration and did a hexagram reading for you."

"Oh?" Han Zhan instinctively asked, "How was the hexagram?"

"Great misfortune, ten deaths without life."
