The Holy Radiant Empire is the longest-recorded interstellar empire in the Galactic Federation.

It is also the country with the strongest comprehensive strength, possessing not only a vast interstellar territory but also a very advanced technological system!

The Holy Empire is primarily ruled by the Holy Spirit race, who call themselves the Holy Spirits.

At this moment, several Holy Spirits were sitting upright in front of Zhao Chen.

Of course, this doesn't actually exist.

They are having a holographic video conference right now.

But this did not stop Zhao Chen from examining the Holy Spirits before him.

They look very similar to Zhao Chen. The woman is about 1.7 meters tall, and the man is about 1.8 meters tall. They have two feet, two hands, two eyes, and one nose.

The biggest difference is their skin!

The skin of the Holy Spirit is pure white, and white spots appear on some parts of the skin.

According to legend, these spots of light reflect the current emotional fluctuations of the Holy Spirit.

These white spots of light did not detract from the beauty of these holy beings; on the contrary, they added an artistic element to them.

Especially the Holy Spirit woman sitting opposite Zhao Chen at this moment, even by Zhao Chen's aesthetic standards, she is quite a beautiful woman.

"Hello, I am the representative of the Holy Radiant Empire. My name is Saint Cana. I am a member of the Senate of the Holy Radiant Empire," Saint Cana said calmly.

The others also showed no emotional reaction.

The Holy Empire of Light resembles a religious empire. In their civilization, emotions are considered superfluous, so they pursue a state of desirelessness and want all interstellar races to embrace their civilization's beliefs.

As for the Imperial Senate, Zhao Chen naturally had some knowledge of it from the relevant records of the Holy Glory Empire.

The Imperial Senate can be said to be the core of the power of the Holy and Glorious Empire.

The Holy Glory Empire has no emperor, no one with supreme power.

Only the highest-ranking authority is the Imperial Senate.

However, every so often, the Senate elects an Imperial Consul, who represents the will of the Imperial Senate and serves the Imperial Senate.

At the same time, the Imperial Senate also has the power to dismiss Imperial Consuls.

Currently, the Holy Radiant Empire has five Imperial Consuls, each governing one of the five territories of the Holy Radiant Empire.

As for those who can enter the Imperial Senate, they all have powerful family backgrounds.

Although the Holy Empire is a religious civilization, its class system is extremely rigid, even more so than the tribal systems of the Warhammer United States.

“My name is Zhao Chen, a marquis in the Starry Empire, and also the plenipotentiary representative of Governor Chuhe this time,” Zhao Chen replied.

"A Marquis?" An official from the Holy See Empire looked at Zhao Chen and said indifferently, "Can a Marquis like you represent Governor Chuhe to speak with us?"

"Is there a problem?" Zhao Chen shrugged.

The official was about to say something, but was stopped by Saint Cana.

It's clear that Miss Saint Cana holds a very high position among them. To be able to enter the Imperial Senate at such a young age speaks volumes about her abilities and status.

"Governor Chuhe has already informed us that you can represent him with full authority."

Since the Governor has said so, we will respect his arrangements.

"I believe that Your Excellency Zhao Chen will convey our message to the Governor." Saint Cana gazed at Zhao Chen, her face devoid of any extraneous expression.

"Speak, what is your purpose in contacting Governor Chuhe?" Zhao Chen crossed his arms, waiting for their show to begin.

Saint Cana spoke up, "We have learned about the current situation in the Starshine Empire. Governor Chuhe is being persecuted by the Princes' Party and is currently fighting against them."

Previously, we fought alongside Governor Chuhe against the Machine Race, and we had several successful collaborations.

Within our empire, there are also many who hold the Governor of Chu River in high esteem.

Therefore, we are also angry and sympathetic to the unfair treatment suffered by Governor Chuhe.

Since the Starry Empire cannot accept the existence of Governor Chuhe, our Holy Radiant Empire has always embraced all those in need with a tolerant heart.

"Wait a minute..." Zhao Chen impatiently stopped the beautiful woman in front of him from continuing, "Let's not talk about these trivial things, let's just get straight to the point."

"So you're trying to recruit Governor Chuhe to your side?"

“Yes.” Saint Cana answered directly this time, and then said, “If Governor Chuhe is willing to join our Holy Radiant Empire, we will preserve his current interstellar territory in the Chuhe Starfield, and will also grant Governor Chuhe some additional territory.”

At the same time, Governor Chuhe will be directly added to our Senate and will have a lofty position in our Holy and Glorious Empire!

In addition, we will also announce our protection of Governor Chuhe. If the Starry Empire continues to launch attacks on the Chuhe Starfield, it will be a declaration of war against our Holy Radiant Empire.

We will provide Governor Chuhe [N O V E L I G H T] with all protection! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Zhao Chen smiled slightly. The people from the Holy Radiance Empire wanted to obtain the Chuhe Star Region, the Beifeng Star Region, and the five resource star regions that Zhao Chen was currently developing without lifting a finger.

In this way, not a single soldier is lost.

At the same time, it can put pressure on the Starry Empire, at which point the initiative will be completely in the hands of the Holy Radiant Empire.

Whether we continue our attack on the Starry Empire or whatever, it doesn't matter.

Furthermore, the Holy Radiant Empire had taken the initiative in public opinion, since it wasn't the Holy Radiant Empire that initiated the war of aggression, but rather Governor Chuhe who voluntarily joined them.

They were simply protecting those who shared their ideals.

"What if we disagree?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Saint Cana paused for a moment, then asked, "I don't understand, what reasons do you have for disagreeing?"

From what I understand, given the current situation in the Chuhe Starfield, the Chuhe Governor can only hold out for a maximum of two more months. By then, the Prince Party will launch a full-scale offensive and seize the initiative.

Governor Chuhe had no chance of winning.

Joining us will bring you nothing but benefits.

I don't understand, what reason do you have to refuse us?

Never mind all that, I'll just ask.

"What will you do if we disagree?" Zhao Chen raised his hand and tapped his fingers on the table.

Saint Cana's gaze turned solemn as she said, "If that's the case, then we will intervene in the civil war of the Starry Empire to protect the interests of the Holy Radiant Empire."

After all, our Holy Radiant Empire owns many properties within the Starshine Empire's territory, and we must ensure their...

"Stop, stop, stop! Forget all that fancy talk, it all boils down to one sentence."

"If we don't agree to join you, you'll declare war on us, right?" Zhao Chen looked at the group speechlessly.

These Holy Spirits are incredibly hypocritical. If they want to start a war, they should just say so directly. Why do they have to beat around the bush like this?

“This is not a declaration of war, it is merely the guidance of the Holy Light!” Saint Cana raised her head and said calmly.
