After Zhu Lei and the others walked into the elders' house, they saw that a lot of people were already waiting for them, and these people of the Oxhorn Clan were generally older, and even some of the hair on their bodies had turned white, he knew that these people must be the elders of the Horn Clan's civilization, after all, Zhu Lei and they could feel that many of the people inside were much taller than the people outside.

As for the cultivation of the emperor of the Niujiao clan, Zhu Lei and the others will not talk about it, because the cultivation of the Bull Demon King is really not very good, and it is not as good as these guards at the door, not to mention that compared to these elders, it is not a little worse.

However, Zhu Lei can also understand, just like the Ming Empire, the emperor of the Ming Empire's cultivation is not high, until now, the emperor's cultivation of the Ming Empire is still stuck in the realm of building the foundation of the Great Perfection for a long time and cannot break through, after all, the time when he started to cultivate is too late, you must know that the emperor of the Ming Empire was already seventy or eighty years old when he began to cultivate, and at that time, the gene optimization liquid and gene enhancement liquid of the Ming Empire had not yet been developed, plus the talent was not high, So now it's very remarkable to be able to have the state of foundation building the Great Perfection.

However, it is precisely because when he started to cultivate, he was too old, so in the future, even if they cultivated, their achievements were still very limited, and it was very remarkable to be able to reach the Yuan Infant Stage, but this was already very content for the emperor of the Ming Empire, after all, if he didn't cultivate, he would have to go to see his ancestors as early as the 21st century, and now he can still be alive and kicking after being alive for so long.

And it seems that at least a few thousand years can live, what is not satisfied, not to mention that with the passage of time, the technology of the Ming Empire will also move forward, and in the future, you can use the means of science and technology to extend your life, and you can even use the means of science and technology to assist in cultivation, so it is very easy to live for tens of thousands of years, what is not satisfied, if it is really necessary, Zhu Lei's ginseng fruit can increase his lifespan without limit.

And the emperor of this Niujiao civilization is the same, cultivation is not the most important, as a ruler can plan for the interests of their own civilization is what they should do, even if Zhu Lei is the prince of the Ming Empire, there is still the existence of a shopping mall, but his cultivation is not the highest, there are more people than Zhu Lei's cultivation.

"Welcome to the Honored Messenger." After Zhu Lei and the others entered the door, an elder led by them said.

"Hello! Dear Elder, it's a pleasure to meet you! Zhu Lei also greeted him and said.

Then Zhu Lei began to discuss the historical reincarnation of the Ocean of Light with the Niujiao civilization, as well as the current state, and then took the opportunity to propose that their civilization become a subsidiary civilization of the Ming Empire.

Since their civilization was the first cultivation civilization to join the Ming Empire, they directly skipped the interruption of the preparatory subordinate civilization, and directly became the third-level subsidiary civilization of the Ming Empire as directly as the Kara civilization at that time.

In fact, what Zhu Lei didn't know was that the Niujiao civilization was not exclusive to becoming a subsidiary civilization of the Ming Empire, this was because the Ming Empire was also a cultivation civilization in their eyes, and it was a fifth-level cultivation civilization, so there was nothing to be ashamed of for them to rely on the strong, which was also the characteristic of most cultivation civilizations.

Of course, if the Ming Empire is a pure scientific and technological civilization, then it is impossible for the Oxhorn civilization to become a subsidiary civilization of the Ming Empire, after all, no matter which cultivation civilization in the universe has no good impression of the scientific and technological civilization, let alone such a powerful fourth-level magic civilization as the Oxhorn civilization.

Then Zhu Lei and the others returned to the Ming Empire's forward base in the Ocean of Light after playing in the Niujiao Civilization for a period of time.

After Zhu Lei and the others returned to the forward base, the forward base of the Ming Empire in the Ocean of Light has begun to conduct trial production of various small and medium-sized space warships, if it goes well, then the match plan of the Ming Empire can still be implemented, in fact, Zhu Lei can't wait, you must know that they have been coming to the Ocean of Light for so long, but until now the plan has only just been prepared to be implemented.

However, they also know that this is not in a hurry, the plan must be carried out step by step, sloppy, once there is a mistake, then the whole plan may be aborted, although even if the plan is aborted, there is no loss for the entire Ming Empire, if it is really not possible, then you can only use pure force to conquer the entire ocean of light, but it will take a long time. Moreover, the Ming Empire must also pay a great price to successfully become the overlord of the Ocean of Light.

Not long after Zhu Lei and the others returned to the forward base, Zhang Haitao and the others also returned, but the other people's tasks were almost completed, and the rest of the system details were not discussed.

However, Zhang Haitao was not in a good mood at this time, but a distressed face.

Because his task was only half completed at this time, although the Swan civilization agreed to become a subsidiary civilization of the Ming Empire, they put forward a condition, and this condition made it impossible for ceramics to make a decision.

So he first returned to the business base of the Ming Empire, ready to discuss with the country before making a decision, although this matter is only a personal matter related to him, but this also has a conflict with the laws of the Ming Empire.

The condition of the Swan civilization is that he must marry the princess of the Swan Clan, Princess Tiefeng, and cannot be a concubine, but must be a wife, which makes Zhang Haitao very distressed, after all, since the establishment of the Ming Empire, no one has ever taken a woman of a clan as a wife, if he really agrees to the conditions of the Swan civilization, then he will become the first person in the entire Ming Empire to take a foreign woman as a wife.

Not to mention that the laws of the empire stipulate that an alien woman cannot be his wife, and even if his family agrees, the chance is very small.

After all, the Ming Empire is still very traditional in this regard, so he doesn't know what to do, you must know that personal interests are nothing compared to the interests of the Ming Empire, not to mention that the Ming Empire's discord and non-indemnity are only for the women of the Ming Empire, and it is not said that the houses of the Ming Empire cannot take women of different races.

Moreover, in fact, there is no difference between him and the domestic contact, for the benefit of the Ming Empire, the domestic Ming Empire will definitely agree to the conditions of the Swan civilization, although the law of the Ming Empire stipulates that a woman of different races cannot become his wife, but he can take a woman of a clan as a wife.

And for the sake of the interests of the Ming Empire, even his family can't say anything, after all, the interests of the Ming Empire are supreme, and a small family is nothing at all, not to mention just marrying a woman of different races.
