508 Light in the Twists and Turns (1)
China convened a high-level meeting for the Earth Alliance’s upper echelons.
“Everyone.” Director Zhou sat at the conference table and smiled at the other countries’ representatives. “China has convened this meeting today to discuss something that will affect the future fate of Earth’s civilization.”
The representatives of the various countries listened attentively. They had already vaguely guessed what was going to happen.
“Xu Jingming cultivated the evolutionary method and became an Origin lifeform in 31 years. He’s one of the top geniuses in the history of the entire cosmic human race. He’s also the undisputed number one genius in the history of the Oohook Star Alliance,” Director Zhou said proudly. “And the Oohook Star Alliance has also rewarded him for his amazing talent.”
All the representatives present pricked up their ears. From all kinds of channels, they already knew what the so-called reward was.
“In consideration of Xu Jingming’s personal needs, the Oohook Star Alliance has decided to give him ownership of all the territories in the Milky Way other than the solar system,” Director Zhou said. “Moreover, every habitable planet will be equipped with a virtual mainframe. The Oohook Star Alliance will migrate all the existing civilizations in the Milky Way.”
The representatives of the various countries became thrilled.
The entire Milky Way was much larger than the solar system. The known resources were massive, not to mention the undiscovered resources.
“Mr. Xu Jingming has informed me…” Director Zhou smiled and said, “He doesn’t need the Milky Way. He feels that Earth needs the Milky Way more! He also has plans to give it to Earth!”
“Mr. Xu Jingming is really broad-minded.” Immediately, a black representative sighed loudly. “The Milky Way is priceless, but he doesn’t care about such a huge sum of wealth and is willing to give it to civilization.”
“Mr. Xu Jingming is the greatest hero and leader of Earth’s civilization after it stepped into the cosmic era.” A Caucasian representative said, “How can we not be touched and impressed by his magnanimity?”
“What a great decision!”
“This is an individual reward from the Oohook Star Alliance for Mr. Xu Jingming, but he’s willing to give it to our civilization. Earth’s history will definitely record Xu Jingming’s greatness.”
These representatives extolled Xu Jingming’s virtues excitedly as they complimented him in various ways.
Some of them were indeed fully aligned with the civilization and were thrilled. Their civilization had entered a new era.
There were also those with ambitions who believed that the power and benefits they had would increase a thousandfold after Earth’s civilization grew stronger. They were naturally delighted.
Therefore, no matter what they believed deep down, all of them praised Xu Jingming.
“Oh right, I have some good news to announce,” Director Zhou remarked with a smile. “Just today, Mr. Xu Jingming was selected as the ninth presiding Executive Senator of the Oohook Star Alliance.”
As he spoke, he applauded.
The representatives present applauded excitedly and thunderously!
Executive Senator—it was an important position that made decisions capable of influencing the entire Oohook Star Alliance!
“I believe Mr. Xu Jingming will definitely achieve greater things in the future,” a Caucasian representative said, “but the most important thing now is the migration and development of the entire Milky Way. How should we develop the other 194 habitable planets?”
Director Zhou glanced at the manuscript in his hand and smiled. “I’ll quote Mr. Xu Jingming’s opinion first. First, China will be fully in charge of the Milky Way’s development.”
Many of the representatives’ expressions fell.
What? China in charge?
“Second, Mr. Xu Jingming has the right to veto any decision made by the Milky Way Development Team.
“Third, all humans on Earth will have the right to migrate to other habitable planets in the Milky Way.”
Director Zhou smiled and said, “China will begin the development of the entire Milky Way using these three suggestions from Mr. Xu Jingming as its tenet.”
“This is the migration of Earth’s human population.” A representative immediately stood up and said anxiously, “Naturally, all the countries on Earth should manage it together. Why should China be in charge?”
“Yes, people from our countries will also migrate. Of course, we have to have a say in these matters.”
“China’s management will naturally be biased toward the Chinese. It will probably be very unfair.”
“All countries need to enjoy fair rights.”
The representatives of the various countries argued.
Director Zhou smiled and stated, “First of all, everything in the Milky Way’s territory other than the solar system is a personal gift from the Oohook Star Alliance to Mr. Xu Jingming. This is Xu Jingming’s personal possession; he has the full rights to them.”
“I would also like to remind everyone… Until this moment, the ownership of the Milky Way territory other than the solar system still belongs to Xu Jingming. As for when Xu Jingming will give it to Earth, that’s up to him. He didn’t give an exact timeline.”
The representatives from all over the world fell speechless.
Xu Jingming hadn’t given the rights up despite saying that he was doing so!
If he really gave it to Earth, Earth would naturally have the right to handle things as they deemed fit. If he didn’t… things would be troublesome.
“Then, when will Mr. Xu Jingming hand over the rights?” a representative asked.
“There’s no exact timetable,” Director Zhou replied. “I’ve also asked Mr. Xu Jingming; he said that he would hand it over to us when he believed it appropriate. However, he has already authorized China to handle the development of these territories! We can begin relocating and developing them now.”
A representative retorted, “We have no right to interfere with the work involved, but we aren’t at ease with our citizens migrating to distant planets.”
