After that farce involving the Star God, everyone knew that [Life] created [Hope], and the name of the Father God resounded from then on.

When people hear the words "Father God," they naturally think of that deity.

Therefore, people often joke that if someone offends [Life], it's equivalent to offending two star gods at once.

Although the company's senior executive held a high position, was knowledgeable, calm and composed, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"He said he would give you time to prepare, and then he would come to the company headquarters to meet with you in person..."

Next, Toppa briefly explained the situation to the company's senior management and hung up the phone.

When Toppa returned to the pavilion, she noticed that the tea in the deity's cup hadn't gone down much. A cup of tea can be brewed in a short or long time, and the almost full cup of tea seemed to be taking care of her slowness.

"Little girl, have you heard the story of the Sword of Damocles?"

Topa, who was standing in the pavilion and had not yet sat down, shook his head: "Sorry, I haven't heard of it."

Bai Yan put down his teacup for the moment: "This is a story from my true home planet. It is a sharp blade bound with animal hair, hanging above the throne, which could fall at any moment."

Bai Yan smiled and looked at Toppa: "Some say this sword suspended in the ceiling symbolizes responsibility, divine authority, divine retribution, constraint, and the end..."

"I now think that hanging this sword above the company could be a good cure for arrogance."

Bai Yan picked up his teacup, took a big gulp, and smiled at Toppa again: "I told you, I'm going to take away the company's arrogance, right?"

Chapter 83 The Meeting Between the Company and the Star God

Bai Yan didn't let Toppa stand for long. After inviting him to sit down, he chatted with him while sipping tea.

A brief respite, a moment of calm amidst the storm, was a welcome respite for Interstellar Peace Corporation.

During this brief exchange, Toppa gradually realized that if one set aside the perception of the deity's identity, the person before him was like an approachable, loving yet somewhat strict elder.

Since the [Life] Star God entered the vision of people in this universe, many scholars have begun to study everything about this Star God.

The findings of those scholars' research are that, to date, they can clearly define the [life] destiny as including creation and nurturing, while other behaviors have not yet been determined or discovered.

Nurturing naturally includes intervention such as guidance. This is what this deity is currently preparing to do with the company.

But Toppa also heard the views of a scholar from the [nihilistic] school during his debt collection work:

"Concepts like star gods and destiny, proposed by intelligent life, are ultimately confined to their own minds. Speculating about gods is meaningless, our thinking is meaningless, and this passage is equally meaningless. Debt... You will not give up your definition of wealth, how pathetic."

Topa snapped out of her reverie, realizing she was more comfortable with calculating economic figures at work than pondering complex philosophical ideas.

The deity looked at her gently and spoke in a clear voice: "You're relaxed enough to let your mind wander. Try some tea."

Topa looked down at the tea in her cup, which the other person had pushed towards her, but she had never touched it.

After all, even though she was experienced in debt collection, she had no experience sitting down and talking with the Star God, and she wasn't yet at a level where she could leisurely have tea.

But after a brief exchange, the other party did not seem to have any ill intentions towards her.

Moreover, even if the other party harbors ill intentions, her worry is useless. In the face of absolute strength, struggling is futile, so she might as well face it calmly.

The same feeling that I used to have when facing pressure from my company has now come to me.

Not only her, but she no longer has to face real pressure.

The other senior executives who will be facing formal negotiations later will feel the real pressure.

Zhang Zhang rubbed gently against her feet, as if trying to comfort her and relieve her stress.

She took a sip; the tea was warm and had a slightly bitter, sweet taste.

Bai Yan also picked up his teacup and took a sip, then asked, "After returning to Belloberg, are you planning to head back immediately, or stay for a while?"

Once Topa relaxed, he opened up: "I don't know, it mainly depends on the outcome of your negotiations with them. Although I've just arrived on this planet, I quite like it here."

"The outcome of the negotiations? I said, even a new employee who just joined the company wouldn't make the wrong choice..."

The conversation, which had become slightly more relaxed, continued for a while.

Guided by the deity before her, the conversation moved from Belloberg to her hometown, then to her experience joining the company, and finally to becoming one of the Stonehearts.

To Topah seemed quite interested in those achievements that were insignificant compared to the experiences of this Father God.

As the conversation deepened, Toppa unknowingly finished the tea in his cup.

She remembered that the agreed-upon cup of tea was time, and couldn't help but glance at the teacup in the god's hand.

The water in the glass still shimmered faintly in the sunlight; half a glass remained.

But Bai Yan had already stood up, glanced at Toppa's empty cup, and smiled, "It's time for one cup of tea. Please wait here for a moment, and I will take you back afterwards."

Topa was a smart woman. She quickly deduced from the other woman's gaze that the "time for a cup of tea" did not refer to the time it took for her to finish drinking the tea, but rather the time it took for her to completely relax.

“My daughter happens to have some free time, and she has agreed to spend some time with you while I’m away. I hope you two have a good time together.”

The deity before them left behind a single sentence, then vanished in a flash.

"Buzz-"

Toppa took out his vibrating phone.

A petite figure emerged from the phone screen, gradually growing larger into the shape of a teenage girl.

The girl swayed her silver-gray twin ponytails, sat opposite Toppa, and held in her hand a portable gaming device that was the latest model in interstellar civilizations.

Do you play games regularly?

……

Somewhere in the universe, at the headquarters of the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

In the enormous conference room, a magnificent long table stands tall in the spacious and bright center, its surface polished smooth and delicate, reflecting soft light.

There are ten seats on each side of this long table, and only one distinguished main seat at each end of the table, which is inlaid with amber-colored jade and emits a gentle light.

That was the most prominent spot in the entire conference room, the seat the company dedicated to the [Guardian] Star God Amber King Kripper, but it remains empty to this day.

The true company chairman they believed in never actually appeared.

Board members at the company headquarters sat on either side of a long table, while those unable to attend participated in the meeting via virtual projection onto their seats.

Generally speaking, it would be extremely impolite to participate in a meeting to worship the star god using a virtual projection, but with too little preparation time, being absent would be even more inappropriate.

They didn't have time to make many preparations, but they immediately used methods to imitate the style of the Father God's temples of those civilizations related to [life], creating a seat as exquisite as the Amber King's main seat.

They placed the throne in another seat opposite the Amber King's throne.

The board members stood solemnly, silent, awaiting the arrival of the star god.

Some people have questioned Toppa’s judgment, but this is not a joke, and there is also the endorsement of the Black Tower lady.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

They can choose to settle scores after being deceived, but they cannot gamble with the fate of the entire company, betting that it was Toppa's misjudgment, or that Ms. Black Tower was lying.

The air was heavy and still, as some of the company's senior executives and board members gathered together.

Even those who usually hold high positions can't help but feel nervous in the face of the current situation.

The long-standing vacancy of the Amber King's position reminded them that the company as a whole had not gained the approval of the [Guardian] Star God, which also exacerbated their unease at this moment.

They are waiting for a god with great power who may even punish them.

All sounds seemed to freeze at that moment, except for the occasional soft breathing and involuntary slight movements of the body.

The attendees exchanged glances, but quickly looked away, unable to find answers in each other's eyes. Even the deepest pools of the most composed person's eyes held hidden ripples.

Anxiety and worry, like tangible shadows, lingered and spread throughout the room, and even the environmental control system in a high-tech environment could not dispel this oppressive feeling.

People's gazes occasionally fell on the empty seat prepared for the Amber King, and then looked to the other side, where the seat was reserved for the arriving deity.

An empty space, seemingly more eye-catching than the entire conference room.

This is not just a gathering of physical spaces, but a focal point of tension, a stage on the eve of a potential turning point for a global giant.

Such silence is a sign of reverence for the divine presence that is about to descend and for the unknown decisions that will follow.

"Don't be so serious. Do you all like to have a stern face when you're doing business?"

The clear sound, like pebbles hitting the water, broke the silence.

People focused their attention on the sound.

Suddenly, a young man appeared at the conference room door, leaning against the door and smiling at everyone.

Like a being unaffected by formalities, He effortlessly overturned the solemn atmosphere of the venue.

He stepped forward and said, “The collapse or change of a global behemoth is not much different in my view from the disintegration of a small gang of hooligans. You can relax a bit.”

Chapter 84 Do you want to fight me?

No one at the meeting made any rash moves. All eyes were focused on the newcomer.

In this highly secure corporate headquarters conference room, every participant was a carefully selected VIP, all well aware of the tight security measures and the fact that no unauthorized intruder could arrive here silently.

His identity can already be guessed from his ability to appear so easily in this conference room.

Behind his seemingly easygoing smile lies a blend of age and strength.

Although he wore a smile, his aura inexplicably inspired awe.

It is like a bridge between gods and mortals, with each step carrying indescribable weight and meaning.

Behind His seemingly casual demeanor lies a profound depth left by the marks of time.

He slowly walked toward the chair prepared for Him, and gently stroked it: "The chair was made in the style of the temple that the children built for me. It was very thoughtful."

“But unfortunately,” He changed the subject, “sitting in this style of seat reminds me of being stared at by a fervent gaze, like being watched by countless eyes.”

The next second, His figure vanished from the spot and appeared next to the Amber King's throne.

“My rock-headed friend won’t mind if I borrow this chair… oh wait, he doesn’t feel he has anything to do with this chair. That puts my mind at ease.”

After he finished speaking, he finally took his seat, but in the honored seat that the Interstellar Peace Corporation had prepared for Amber King.

These words and actions were like resounding slaps to the faces of these company executives.
