Chapter 569: Chapter 563: Nuo—Allies Who Never Betray

Crack...

On the big screen, Ye Fengqing held an apple and took a light bite, leisurely saying, "The Cangming Human Race is not the favored child of the Heavenly Dao. The Sword Master and the Demon Lord are merely vying with the Heavenly Dao to seize fortune and seek development for the rise of the Human Race."

The content of these words could be understood by the presidents present.

After all, the time flow on the Cangming Star and Earth are not the same. A month on Earth might be enough for a complete industrial revolution on the Cangming Star.

The period of the rise of the [Sword Master] was in ancient times, where the main adversaries of the Human Race were natural disasters akin to the Little Ice Age. Lin Qiubai led the Human Race through many hardships, overcoming numerous obstacles, to make the Cangming Human Race rise.

[Demon Lord] Zhang Kuang existed in a time of contention among a hundred schools of thought, during the flourishing period of the Human Race in the medieval era.

The Cangming Star ruled by [Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan was in the late ancient era, where various extraordinary inheritances were severed, leading the Cangming Human Race from prosperity to decline.

From the few words of the three Cangming Overlords, the General Staff deduced a lot of intelligence.

One of the most crucial pieces—it seems the Cangming Heavenly Dao is not inclined towards the Human Race, rather, it views the Human Race as a tumor, actively fostering other races instead.

The specifics are not known, but broadly speaking, this should be correct.

One cannot say the Cangming Heavenly Dao is wrong, as Zhao Guanlan’s actions of plundering the Cangming Star before fleeing to Earth proved his foresight and correctness.

But this was his personal action, and the Cangming Human Race is innocent!

Ye Fengqing...

She was born in the worst era, a time most unfriendly to the Cangming Human Race.

Zhao Guanlan added fuel to the fire in this era, pushing his kin into a great fire pit, causing the extraordinary to vanish on the Cangming Star, while the Sword Master and Demon Lord were restricted by the Heavenly Dao, leading to the rise of other branches and the decline of the Human Race.

In fact, according to intelligence gathered from Ma Ran, during Ye Fengqing’s childhood, the Cangming Human Race was once reduced to food for other species, regarded as "walking meat."

In such a nightmare beginning, Ye Fengqing carved a bloody path, led the Cangming Human Race to regain its glory, not only exterminating other intelligent species on the Cangming Star but also developing technology, enhancing Cangming’s competitiveness, and expanding its influence across the star system where Cangming Star is located.

She did something similar to the Sword Master—named the star system where the Cangming Star resides, after her own title.

Red Lotus Star System!

Such a being, no matter how highly estimated, it’s never too much.

The presidents in the command room once thought they had already elevated the evaluation of this [Lord of the Red Lotus] to the extreme.

Now, they had to admit that they had underestimated Ye Fengqing.

Perhaps the first impression caused a cognitive bias, as Ye Fengqing, with attire largely reminiscent of ancient style, felt more like a domineering giant from an immortal cultivation civilization than a master of a highly advanced technological civilization.

Proven by facts...

She easily recognized the function of the drones, and somehow, she was aware of the moves inside the command room, completely grasping the entire situation!

President Huang Weiguo took a deep breath, his body hair standing on end, barely regaining his composure.

Indeed!

Even if the person appearing before them wasn’t Ye Fengqing’s real body, just an incarnation of her thought, she remains a traditional emperor, a founder and creator of a star system civilization, a being who conquered and destroyed multiple civilizations.

The habit of "controlling the overall situation" is probably ingrained in her!

Now, Old Huang only felt relieved.

Fortunately, the presidents at the command didn’t badmouth her behind her back, but rather showed great friendliness and closeness towards the Cangming Star.

Otherwise...

She could effortlessly counter-surveillance through drones, probably capable of achieving "more."

On the screen, Ye Fengqing finished the apple in a few bites, seemingly indifferent to image, yet this natural and unrestrained demeanor added a touch of free-spirited, uncommon charisma to her.

She casually tossed the apple core into the air.

Bang!

A sky-blue flame incinerated the apple core to ashes, completely annihilated.

Only then did Ye Fengqing say quietly, "The Sword Master and Demon Lord are vying with the Heavenly Dao for the rightful benefits of my Human Race."

"Moving the Cangming Star to this solar system, however, was my decision."

As she said this, she seemed to recall something, smirking lightly, "About a decade ago, I heard from Ma Ran that Neptune over here in the solar system had exploded due to some accident."

"Great, when I have the time, I’ll shatter it completely to make room for the Cangming Star."

"Now, I want a promise from you."

There you go!

Another one trying to change the world because it doesn’t fit their desires!

Just two words...

Overbearing!

The presidents in the command room and the National Guardians on the Great Wall all felt an urge to roll their eyes.

Listen!

Saying they’ll break a planet over a disagreement...

Is that something a human could say?

Is that something a human could do?

Had the same words come from someone else, people would likely assume they were boasting.

However...

It’s still that saying.

"Reputation" is something that can be accumulated over time and transmitted from generation to generation through matters.

Cangming’s reputation has been quite good over here on Earth.

Although Zhao Guanlan significantly dragged down the average reputation score of Cangming’s Overlords, it is still well above the standard at this moment.

Without any formal negotiations, Ye Fengqing clearly stated her demands in just a few words.

Her meaning was very explicit.

Cangming Star provides aid to Earth and forms a strategic partnership to resist the [Divine Court], fine!

However, Earth Civilization must support Cangming Star’s relocation to the solar system!

This apparently is the condition for Cangming Star and Earth to officially form an alliance...

The executives in the command room immediately sought instructions from the highest authority and within just a minute, they provided a response.

President Huang Weiguo looked at the screen, his eyes sincere, and said earnestly, "Actually, we’ve anticipated today’s situation for a long time, discussed it at multiple meetings, and widely solicited public opinion, eventually passing this proposal unanimously."

"Ms. Ye Fengqing, no matter what other countries think."

"China can give you a promise right now!"

"No matter what happens."

"No matter how difficult the challenges we encounter."

"Regardless of how many hardships and obstacles lie ahead..."

"Our country and people will always be the most reliable and loyal ally of the Cangming Star!"

"After today, we will publicly announce this promise globally."

"Please rest assured, China, though not as powerful as Cangming, has its pride and will never act unfaithfully!"

...

On the Great Wall.

Ye Fengqing’s gaze turned to Su Qiangwei and Ma Ran, saying in a calm tone, "Since that’s the case, to show my sincerity, I’ll give you a meeting gift!"
