The President heard the warning embedded in Li Xianglong's words.
He actually had no intention of vetoing these two bills.
The Earth Federation cannot withstand the wrath of the gods and numerous Immortal-level beings, nor can it afford to offend the gods of the Central Continent, let alone endure the civil war initiated by Lin Rui.
The President intended to negotiate with the East Asia Republic to see if he could persuade Lin Rui to give up.
Or, by leveraging local forces and bureaucratic delay, he hoped to redirect the chaos and let the gods and the Central Abyss compete against each other.
But now he understood that Lin Rui's current power was invincible within the Earth Federation.
Outside the Heavenly Curtain, Lin Rui was not much different from the real Abyss; as long as the gods and the Longevity Association did not intervene, no force could rival Lin Rui's power.
