"When the imperial envoy of the Great Zhou leaves, and after offering tribute for a few more years, our actions will merely appear as disputes with various vassal states. The Great Zhou will merely act as a mediator."
"The Western Extreme Continent holds no value to the Great Zhou; as long as we keep pledging allegiance and offering tribute, claiming a territory every decade, a state every century, and taking small steps, there won't be much of an issue."

Listening to the deliberations of the Venerables below, Dius on the throne nodded in agreement, as this was his thought as well.
Would the Great Zhou deploy strong forces to destroy their Sith Country?
Nobody would consider this; what could they possibly gain from it?
Without sufficient benefits, there would be considerable opposition within the Great Zhou itself.
As for the secret of the underground relics being leaked?
Dius was confident that it would not be leaked.
