...

"I feel that this starry sky should not be like this."

The auditorium lights dimmed—

With a decision made in his heart, Xi Hai walked to the podium in the main seat and gently adjusted the microphone.

A low voice rang out.

"You, every single person standing here,"

"Have all been chained by iron shackles,"

"Trapped between roaring machines,"

"Treated as parts of the space station!"

He looked at the crowd below.

There was confusion and doubt in their eyes.

That was the most typical look—the look of newly liberated slaves.

At this moment, with just a little guidance, he could influence the lives of most of them.

"But!"

Suddenly,

Xi Hai curled his hands into claws, raised them to his chest with a "swish," and slowly clenched them into fists,

As if he wanted to grasp something.

At the same time, his voice gradually became higher and more impassioned.

"Do you still remember that you are human!"

"Whether you come from a social rearing pod,"

"Or from a mother's womb!"

"You, and we, are all living, flesh-and-blood human beings!"

He threw his hands out to both sides.

"The second we came into this world,"

"Thousands of supernovae were born with us, and thousands of stars collapsed into black holes at the same time!"

"This is a thousand stars playing music for us! This is the universe singing for us!"

"We were born as children of the multitude stars!"

"the multitude stars grant us dignity and freedom!"

Suddenly, he paused for a short moment.

His tone became low again.

"But—"

"Those greedy ones, the oppressors, the boot-lickers,"

"They use debt, they use lies, they use that unreasonable system,"

"To forge chains one by one!"

"Attempting to tie us firmly to their feet!"

"They have stolen everything that belongs to us!"

His right index and middle fingers suddenly formed a sword gesture, pointing at the dark golden dome.

Every time a noun exploded from his mouth,

His right hand jerked, and then he raised it a bit higher.

"Is this right?"

"Your resistance has already given the answer!"

"This is not right!"

"We were not born to be cattle or horses! Not to serve anyone!"

"And certainly not to be locked in that narrow Space City just to pay off some inexplicable debt!"

"We sweat to create our own happiness!"

"We work hard to protect the smiles of our loved ones!"

"We struggle for the greatness of all mankind!"

The crowd below was already restless.

Some who had only recently become debt slaves had already begun to sob quietly.

Xi Hai looked at the crowd.

His hands slowly retracted.

"They desperately want us to believe that we are born inferior!"

"They try to make us forget that we are the masters of the stars!"

"Those cold shackles, that humiliating imprisonment!"

"Can you forget them?"

"I tell you,"

"No!"

"This pain is etched onto your bones!"

"This debt flows through your blood!"

Suddenly, his palms opened wide.

The veins on his neck bulged.

"Today!"

"You have broken the chains with your own hands!"

"But is this enough?"

"Not enough!"

"They will call in Warships, using cannons and missiles to make you submit!"

"They will land here, using powered armor and electromagnetic guns to make you shut up!"

"They are afraid!"

"Those robbers who sit upon our vast starry sky!"

"Those thieves who stole our freedom and dignity!"

"They are afraid of our unity! Afraid of our thinking! Afraid of us remembering the past!"

"They want us to keep our heads bowed! Want us to forget our pain! Want us to be grateful!"

"Should we bow our heads?"

"Absolutely not!"

Xi Hai took a deep breath, and then—

As if he wanted to squeeze every bit of gas out of his alveoli, he shouted at the top of his lungs:

"We must raise our heads!!!"

"Look into each other's eyes!"

"Do you see it? The raging fire within!"

"Do you see it? The hope flickering within!"

"That is power!"

"It is our most powerful weapon!"

"This starry sky!"

"Should never be defined by the predators!"

"It belongs to the workers! To the builders!"

"It belongs to all of humanity!"

"Humanity!!!!!!"

"Long live!!!!!!"

Afterward, he panted heavily.

He said in a hoarse and gloomy voice:

"We are going to build a new world!"

"A new world where children can sleep soundly, workers can be respected, and no one will ever be a slave!"

"It will be defined together by everyone who has been hurt but still chooses to stand up!"

"Now!"

"Let us fight—not for revenge, but for justice!"

"Rise up! Hold the hand of the person next to you!"

"We are not slaves to be slaughtered!"

"We are the sparks that will open a new era!"

"Move forward!"

"Our journey has only just begun!"

When he finished, he was covered in sweat.

He spread his hands forward,

As if wanting to embrace everyone in the arena.

After a brief silence,

An incomparably huge wave of sound erupted from the arena:

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!"

Watching the seething crowd,

Xi Hai smiled with satisfaction:

Although he was very tired and his throat hurt,

This was the most comfortable he had felt since he transmigrated.
