Chapter 729: Chapter 724: Fixed Star Disc
In the light screen, although the youth was merely a projection, he exuded a clear aura of aloofness, as if warning strangers to stay away.
Discarding and Letting Go!
At 24, he achieved one of the five pinnacle titles of Huaxia, "Celestial Being." At 25, he entered the Ascension Plane and successfully advanced as an Evolver, making him a highly representative genius figure in Huaxia for nearly fifty years.
His hair was silver, and beneath his sword-like eyebrows, his two black eyes resembled small black holes.
Discarding and Letting Go looked at this group of Evolvers. Wherever his gaze landed, people would look elsewhere.
Evolvers from various countries, except for Lionheart Daltar, dared not meet Discarding and Letting Go’s gaze.
"Discarding and Letting Go, stepping out this time, are you trying to support Huaxia’s hegemony? Do you want to start a war with our ’Holy Covenant’?" Lionheart Daltar said in a deep voice.
Discarding and Letting Go raised his eyes to Lionheart Daltar and said calmly, "I can’t start a war with the Holy Covenant. But, Lionheart... can you truly represent the Holy Covenant? Don’t be ridiculous; you can’t get in even if you sharpen your head."
Lionheart Daltar snorted, "I’ve already become a reserve Temple Knight in the ’Martial Dao District.’
"Just a peripheral cannon fodder."
Discarding and Letting Go scoffed, "Your so-called Huaxia hegemony is nothing more than Huaxia cultural unification. Frankly speaking, on the Silver Heart Great World, shouldn’t Earth unify culturally, becoming a monolithic entity? Should it still govern separately as it did in the Solar System?"
These words made Speaker Wan nod repeatedly.
In the Solar System, Earth was like its own little plot of land, with no other Spiritual Civilization’s presence; Earth civilization naturally divided into various nations, governing separately.
But facing the severe challenges in the Silver Heart Great World, Earth needs to continue developing and progressing in such a complex, high-pressure environment, all Earth People certainly need to unite as one.
From any perspective, Huaxia’s cultural unification to create a unified Earth government is necessary.
"But it shouldn’t be Huaxia unifying; it should be decided by representatives of all Earth’s nations!" Lionheart Daltar shouted.
Speaker Wan interjected: "Predecessor, this is indeed decided by representatives of all Earth’s countries. I have video data of the national representatives signing the documents and the original text of the signed agreement, all notarized by Gaia’s Will."
Lionheart Daltar folded his arms: "I question the legitimacy of these representatives. Can they truly represent their countries’ opinions? I heard Huaxia recruited a batch of mid- to low-level Awakened from other countries to act as representatives and signed this agreement."
"Plugging one’s ears while stealing a bell!"
"Indeed, this agreement is utterly illegal; have those so-called civilian representatives gone through official elections?"
"They are nothing but a bunch of traitors!"
The voices in the venue were tumultuous.
Discarding and Letting Go coldly stared at these people until the noise ceased before he slowly began to speak:
"Let me ask... during the moment of crisis when Earth faced the Sea Race invasion, where were those allegedly legitimate leaders and top-tier Awakened you speak of?"
This statement was like a decisive blow. After all, it was well-known that the upper echelons of other countries were scrambling to escape, taking early flights on Quasi-General Starships to jump to the Silver Heart Great World, abandoning their own nationals.
"Alright, alright."
Lionheart Daltar suddenly changed his tone, "I won’t pursue the legitimacy of these representatives’ identities. But, stepping back, these representatives were sure to face substantial coercion when signing the agreement.
"When I say coercion, I don’t mean the representatives were threatened with death by Huaxia if they didn’t sign.
"I mean Huaxia, taking advantage of Earth’s danger of the Alien Race invasion, strongly demanded these representatives to sign the agreement, evidently taking advantage of others’ difficulties!"
This group of foreign Evolvers began to argue unreasonably.
Speaker Wan was angry but also felt deeply powerless.
In the end, the decisive factor is who has the big fists, not who has the reason on their side. Negotiations only happen when the powers are comparable.
Discarding and Letting Go naturally understood this point.
"Continuing this argument is meaningless."
Discarding and Letting Go said coldly, "Daltar, let me show you something."
A silver-white disc appeared in Discarding and Letting Go’s hand, hemispherical with an interior that was deep and starry, glowing with a flowing halo.
"Fixed Star Disc!"
Among the Evolvers, there was a low gasp.
"Daltar, your first Gaia mainline mission on the ’Path of the Extraordinary’ hasn’t been completed yet, right? Fail to complete it, and when the deadline comes, your Path of the Extraordinary will be utterly cut off."
Discarding and Letting Go’s voice was leisurely, "You know the value of this ’Fixed Star Disc.’ With it, the success rate of passing the first Gaia Mainline Mission increases by at least thirty percent!"
Lionheart Daltar lost his previous composure, breathing somewhat rapid.
He stared at that Fixed Star Disc for a while, then shifted his gaze to Discarding and Letting Go’s face.
"You... are you willing to share the Fixed Star Disc with us?"
"It’s not that cheap."
Discarding and Letting Go scoffed, "However, I can give you a chance to offer a price. If you satisfy me... then next time, when you attempt the first mainline mission, I can give you two slots."
The Evolvers were in a stir.
Two slots!
One of them, naturally, would go to Daltar; he was the strongest among them and possessed a large starship.
The other slot... everyone wanted it.
Discarding and Letting Go stared at these people and continued:
"Frankly, you are here not for Earth’s sovereignty but for Gangxin’s ’Gaia’s Hand’ status and his item exchange privileges.
"If I’m not mistaken, you want to exchange with Gaia’s Will for a substitute item of the Fixed Star Disc—the Reverse Star Disc, right? It’s futile; Gangxin just ascended to One-star Major General, and he needs to reach Two-star Major General to possibly exchange for the Reverse Star Disc, which would take at least several years. Who among you can wait for several years?
"Moreover, the Reverse Star Disc’s effectiveness is only half of the Fixed Star Disc; adding even ten percent to the first Gaia Mainline Mission’s success rate is good enough.
"So, Daltar, what will it be?"
Discarding and Letting Go said lightly, "It’s just that Master Bailu is in the Valley of Evil Omen and has no time for a Clone; otherwise, I wouldn’t even give you this negotiation opportunity. Cherish it well."
Lionheart Daltar was silent for a while, waved his hand, and said: "Fine, I’ll go! Keep your word!"
The large starship started, quickly left Earth’s orbit, and disappeared.
The other Evolvers looked at each other.
Finally, Gray Fox approached with a smile and said, "Lord Discarding and Letting Go, about the other slot..."
"I said, there will be one chance to offer a bid. But only one opportunity." Discarding and Letting Go waved his hand, "You have no ability to breach Earth’s Spiritual Energy Protective Membrane, so don’t talk nonsense. Go back to where you came from. Whoever stays here and doesn’t leave will have their bidding opportunity canceled directly."
A group of Evolvers, having come aggressively, could only board their respective starships and leave.
