1. Demonstrating Power
Lin Ye knew well that mere words and diplomacy would not be enough to stop the already out-of-control interstellar war. Thus, he decided to personally demonstrate his immense strength as the Cosmic Dragon. When Lin Ye appeared, his massive form shone like a star, with golden dragon scales sparkling under the glow of the universe. His dragon horns gleamed like stars, and the sheer pressure of his presence froze the atmosphere of the entire battlefield. As he spread his enormous wings, the airflow in space was immediately suppressed, and the battlefield seemed to come to a standstill.
The two warring factions, upon seeing Lin Ye, ceased their attacks and withdrew. Fear and awe filled their eyes as they gazed at the Cosmic Dragon. Lin Ye's power made everyone realize that he was not just an ordinary being, but a force capable of deciding the fate of the universe. In that moment, Lin Ye was no longer just an individual; he had become the embodiment of cosmic order and peace.
2. Reasoning with Them
Leveraging his unparalleled presence, Lin Ye communicated directly with the leaders of both factions. He began by explaining the cruelty and futility of the war, reminding them that the devastation caused by this interstellar conflict was not only the destruction of planets, but the obliteration of countless innocent lives. His words were filled with deep sympathy and a profound respect for life. He said, "No matter what you fight for, you cannot escape the fundamental law of the universe — all power must be balanced. And once that balance is broken, the cost will be unbearable for all of us."
Lin Ye's words were devoid of any falsehood, emanating a profound sense of strength. As the Cosmic Dragon, he carried the wisdom of ancient civilizations, and his words carried a deep understanding of the laws that governed the universe. He attempted to convince the leaders of both factions through a combination of reason, logic, and emotion, hoping they would realize that the war's outcome would result in mutual destruction, and even their own civilizations would not escape unscathed.
3. Difficult Mediation
However, the process of mediation turned out to be much more difficult than Lin Ye had anticipated. After years of war, the two factions had developed deep-seated hatred, and their interests had become deeply entangled. The leaders of both sides initially rejected Lin Ye's suggestions, believing that the survival of their civilizations was at stake and that they could not afford to relinquish the resources and power they had fought for.
Lin Ye's patience played a crucial role at this moment. He did not rush for a quick resolution, but instead focused on easing the hostility between the two sides and gradually helping them calm down. He reminded them, "Your hatred will not increase your resources, it will only lead you into a deeper crisis. Peace is not weakness, but wisdom. Only through cooperation can you truly survive in the long run."
Through Lin Ye's efforts, one faction finally lowered its pride and expressed willingness to negotiate with the other, seeking a more balanced resource distribution plan. The other side, with Lin Ye's guidance, slowly came to understand the viability of peace and eventually agreed to halt the fighting, initiating preliminary talks.
[Chapter End]
Lin Ye successfully mediated the interstellar war, but he knew that this was only one of countless conflicts in the universe. The cosmos remained vast and full of unknown dangers and challenges. As the Cosmic Dragon, Lin Ye would bear an even greater responsibility. His mission was not just to protect the interests of a single faction but to safeguard the balance and peace of the entire universe.
He began to contemplate how he could use his immense power to truly maintain harmony and stability across the cosmos. Were there other crises lurking in the universe, still hidden from view? Lin Ye's future, it seemed, would far exceed even his initial expectations.
