Back then, the Hanhai Group was the first to discover the Blue Planet.
At that time, the Hanhai Group was already the forerunner of mankind, exploring the mysteries of the universe.
The Western League originally wanted to take the Blue Planet back, but the Hanhai Group unexpectedly showed their toughness.
They told the Western League that if the Western League insisted on taking back the Blue Planet, then the Hanhai Group would no longer be a part of the Western League, and their headquarters would be relocated to the Northern Alliance.
At the same time, the Hanhai Group would withdraw all their resources from the Western League.
They would become the eternal enemy of the Western League.
If this threat had come from any other family, the Western League would have laughed it off, or even used destructive means to deal with it.
However, the Hanhai Group was already too powerful at that time. Once the Western League withdrew from the Blue Planet, the Western League's economy would collapse.
However, if the Hanhai Group occupied a planet with a large amount of resources, it would be a huge blow to the Western League's prestige, and at the same time, the economic losses would be equally huge.
Therefore, the Western League's Parliament hesitated. They were even at a loss as to how to deal with the suddenly powerful Hanhai Group.
Then, the Hanhai Group began to use their influence in the Parliament to propose a series of compensation terms.
Among them was that half of the resources produced by the Blue Planet could be sold to the Western League at the most favorable price.
More importantly, the Hanhai Group was willing to invest in the construction of a space fortress for the Western League.
The amount of money and resources needed to build a Bastion was astronomical.
The entire Eastern Alliance only had three space fortresses a few years ago.
The number of space fortresses was the embodiment of the strength of the three Major Leagues!
The Hanhai Group's large commitment.
Finally, they convinced the Western League Parliament.
Finally, they passed.
The Hanhai Group assigned the Blue Planet to the Hanhai Group.
The Hanhai Group had also agreed that the Hanhai Group would strictly follow the requirements of the Western League to pay taxes every year.
At the same time, he would not organize more than a space fleet level defense force.
With Hanhai Group's wealth and the ability to build space fortresses, they could even threaten the rule of the Western League if they continued to expand unscrupulously.
But behind the strong financial power, there must be a certain amount of military force.
Therefore, after discussion, the Hanhai Group's military strength was limited to one space fleet.
It was on the same scale as the fallen 7th Fleet of the Northern Alliance.
After that incident, Hanhai Group paid a lot of money.
But he also had the Blue Planet.
The Hanhai Group's reputation in the Western League, and even the entire human race, had greatly increased.
A family that could bargain with the Alliance, how terrifying was that!
Over the next fifteen years, the Hanhai Group invested and spent a great deal of resources to build the most advanced space fortress in the Western League. It was a gift to the Western League.
The Western League christened it Poseidon Bastion.
It was now serving on the Western League's border.
However, only a few people knew that this so-called gift was, in a sense, beneficial to the Poseidon Group.
They had funded the construction of Poseidon Bastion.
But in reality, before it was delivered.
After a series of haggling, the Western League agreed to let Hanhai Group fill some of the military positions on Poseidon Bastion to attract more resources from the Hanhai Group.
In other words, Poseidon Bastion was partly owned by the Hanhai Group.
Building a Bastion required a great deal of resources, but the cost of maintaining one was equally great!
Add to that the Hanhai Group's influence in Parliament, and more than a third of the officers on Poseidon Bastion came from the Hanhai Group.
Of course, at least on the surface, the commander of Poseidon Bastion couldn't be a member of the Hanhai Group. But whether or not he was connected to the Hanhai Group in the end was hard to say.
The Hanhai Group's headquarters were located on Europa, the capital of the Western League. But the Blue Planet was the true foundation of the Hanhai Group.
Because the planet belonged to the Hanhai Group, no one knew what the Hanhai Group was doing here.
Even the Western League only sent a single inspection team to inspect the place.
A simple inspection was just a formality.
The Hanhai Group's influence was felt throughout the human race. In the Western League, its control was growing.
Some insightful experts had said that the future Western League would be the Hanhai Group's Western League.
But the Hanhai Group had its own way of survival. The only reason it hadn't faced any resistance from within the Western League, or from the Northern Alliance or Eastern Alliance was because it had never displayed its ambitions.
The Hanhai Group controlled less than half of its permitted military strength, and that was only to protect the Hanhai Group's own ships.
Although the Hanhai Group's operations spanned many industries, it didn't involve itself in anything related to the military. The Hanhai Group drew a clear line between itself and all Adept Alliances.
Everything was done in the style of a businessman.
Therefore, even though he was wealthy, more people were willing to rope him in rather than destroy him.
The Hanhai Group also deliberately suppressed its development in the Northern Alliance and Eastern Alliance, mainly in the Western League. Such restraint won it more favor.
Every time a disaster came, the Hanhai Group didn't hesitate to help. In their own words, it was taken from the people and used for the people.
The Poseidon Group had publicly stated that it was more willing to be a charity organization than a greedy organization.
It was under the impetus of these ideals that the Hanhai Group was able to develop rapidly and was now the largest business group in the world.
From the satellite, the Blue Planet had always maintained a peaceful state. Although most of the islands had been developed, the degree of development was very low. There were only three islands that could land spaceships, and they couldn't exceed a certain scale.
In many people's eyes, this place was more of a symbol of the Hanhai Group. After all, it had the most oceans among all the planets controlled by human beings.
But in reality, was that really the case?
The oceans on the Blue Planet were named the Immensity Sea by the Hanhai Group.
The surface of the Immensity Sea was indeed peaceful, but there was another world under the surface.
The deepest part of the Immensity Sea was twenty thousand meters deep. The enormous water pressure was enough to kill most creatures.
But in this place where there should be no light …
There was a place that emitted a soft blue halo.
A huge semicircular light shield covered an area of more than twenty square kilometers.
Only by approaching it could one see its magnificence and majesty.
It was clearly an underground palace!
Twenty thousand meters underwater, to use a shield to withstand the enormous water pressure, one could only imagine the technological content and resources required.
However, it existed just like that.
What was even more strange was the architecture.
There were no modern buildings. All the buildings here were modeled after the temples in ancient Greek mythology of the Former Era, giving off a feeling of returning to the Former Era.
This place had a name: the City of Neptune.
Only the true core members of the Hanhai Group could come here.
Those who knew about the City of Neptune were the true direct descendants of Neptune.
Yes, the Hanhai Group itself was an existence that inherited the abilities of Neptune's bloodline. The inheritance of the bloodline made them crazily pursue the glory of Neptune.
The strength of the Hanhai Group initially relied on Neptune's bloodline. After many years of operation, it finally developed to this level.
In the center of the City of Neptune was a huge temple. This temple was the Palace of Neptune.
The palace where Neptune lived.
Hua Li stood silently in the middle of a circular room.
The room was huge. Not only was the area large, but the volume was also huge.
The room was thirty meters high, surrounded by huge pillars. In front of Huali was a blue beam of light.
This beam of light went straight up to the top of the room, as if it penetrated through.
The beam of light was about five meters in diameter, emitting a soft blue halo. The entire room was filled with extremely rich water elements.
"You're finally willing to accept the baptism of Neptune?
Have you had enough fun? "A deep voice sounded.
Huali turned around and saw a tall middle-aged man walking towards him.
This middle-aged man looked at least 80% similar to him. The only difference was that the lines of his face were slightly more rigid.
"Father." Huali bowed respectfully.
He was Huali's father, the previous generation of Neptune's bloodline, Neptune, Huaxu.
Behind him was a golden cape, and his body was adorned with the most ancient of divine ornaments. Even on his head, there was a golden crown.
It was as if an ancient Greek god had descended.
He slowly walked in front of Huali, stopped, and said calmly, "Have you thought it through?
As long as you accept the baptism of Neptune's bloodline, you need to give birth to a descendant for Neptune's bloodline. "
"Yes, I have thought it through.
But, can it not be Mo Xiao? I don't want to hurt her. "A look of pain flashed across Huali's face.
Huaxu said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to hurt her, you should choose her.
Becoming your wife, becoming the mother of the next Neptune is her destiny and her choice.
You can let her down, but you don't have the right to deprive her of the right to become the mother of the next Neptune.
You should know that this day will come sooner or later. "
Huali subconsciously clenched her fists, and her aura fluctuated unstably.
"If you want to pursue everything you want, then, this is what you have to go through." Huaxu's voice became softer.
Huali took a deep breath, and the confusion in her eyes gradually turned into determination. She nodded firmly, "Okay!"
