233: High-level meeting (Part 2)!

“Is this a living planet beyond Earth? How amazing!”

“I have to say, this universe is full of mystery and the unknown everywhere!”

“But don’t forget, this universe is also full of bloodshed and cruelty. The laws of the universe are no kinder than the laws of the jungle!”

“…”

Whispers echoed in the conference hall.

Even as leaders of Earth’s superpowers, they couldn’t help but sigh when they saw the powerful forces of the outside world.

This was the huge gap between Earth and the outside world!

After a while, the voices in the hall completely quieted down.

Chairman Chen Fan continued to play various images of deep space.

On the projection, as all the planets continuously shrank.

Soon, a huge image of the entire Milky Way Galaxy gradually appeared before everyone.

The magnificent and vast Milky Way Galaxy, like a dreamlike scroll full of mysterious colors, displayed its full appearance before everyone through constant changes.

These scenes were easily obtained by Chairman Chen Fan from the Virtual Universe.

Not just the Milky Way Galaxy, even the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire and Qian Wu Empire’s jurisdictions, Chairman Chen Fan could get them all, as long as he paid.

However, for now, the Milky Way Galaxy alone was enough.

Chairman Chen Fan’s voice slowly echoed in the conference hall—

“Our Milky Way Galaxy and the Beta Galaxy, along with six other major galaxies, together form the Silver Blue Empire!”

Chairman Chen Fan introduced, then suddenly raised his tone: “But, please remember!”

“This Silver Blue Empire, which possesses eight major galaxies, is merely the lowest-level existence in the universe. Above the Silver Blue Empire, there are intermediate and advanced cosmic civilizations.

In these civilizations, any random strong individual sent out could easily annihilate Earth!!”

Chairman Chen Fan’s expression was calm as he spoke these words, which exploded like thunder.

After all, not everyone was as composed as Chairman Chen Fan.

As soon as he spoke, everyone present was shocked.

The Silver Blue Empire, which ruled eight major galaxies?

And it was only the lowest-level existence in the universe!?

Other intermediate and advanced cosmic civilizations only needed to send a random strong individual to annihilate Earth??

At this moment, everyone in the entire hall was filled with shock and fear.

Only those martial artists who emerged from the Inheritance Hall remained unfazed.

During the process of receiving their inheritances, they had already learned these cruel truths.

At this moment, everyone looked towards Chairman Chen Fan.

However, Chairman Chen Fan showed no change; he calmly continued to introduce the universe… An hour quickly passed.

The conference hall was silent, and everyone’s faces were filled with shock!

“Finally, I’ll introduce a race to you, and then you’ll truly understand how cruel survival in the universe is.”

Then, Chairman Chen Fan pointed above the round table.

Immediately, the virtual projection changed, and a giant planet appeared.

On that sky-blue planet, figures swiftly flew past.

“This is one of the planets where a human race called the ‘Tark Tribe’ lives—Tarta Star.”

As Chairman Chen Fan introduced it, everyone present was captivated by this planet, as blue as Earth.

It was simply too similar to Earth!

Some leaders exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock!

“In the Tark Tribe, the number of Planetary Level individuals is very, very large, numbering in the tens of millions.”

Among them, Astral Rank martial artists are not few either; every Astral Rank can become the strongest individual on our Earth.

Moreover, the three strongest individuals on Tarta Star are all Universe Rank existences!

Whoosh! Whoosh!!

As Chairman Chen Fan uttered these words, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.

Most of them only knew about the existence of the Planetary Level, and were almost completely ignorant of realms above the Planetary Level.

Except for those martial artists who received inheritances from strong individuals, everyone else was basically clueless.

At this moment, Chairman Chen Fan didn’t give them a chance to react, and continued to strike while the iron was hot:

“Ta Yi, Ta Er, Ta San, come out!!”

As Chairman Chen Fan’s voice faded, three magnificent and burly figures flew into the conference hall from the doorway.

The surging aura that rushed towards them made everyone present change their expressions.

Even Hong and Thunder God, who had already advanced to the sixth or seventh stage of the Planetary Level, were like little chicks in front of these three, easily manipulated.

“These are Universe Rank strong individuals. Any one of them, at full power, could completely destroy Earth within an hour!”

When Chairman Chen Fan stated this fact, everyone looked incredulous.

“Ta San, please demonstrate your strength a little!”

As soon as the words fell, the burly man with curved horns on his head, on the far right, stepped forward.

The next moment, a terrifying aura, like a hurricane, swept through the entire conference hall.

A suffocating sensation rushed over, and everyone’s expressions suddenly changed.

Even Hong and Thunder God could not resist this vast and terrifying might.

Among these people, only Ma Liang felt slightly better.

His entire body was enveloped in a faint, misty, translucent white light, which was emitting a faint resistive force.

“Alright, stop it!”

Chairman Chen Fan looked around. The effect had been achieved, so he gave the order.

“Yes, Master!”

Immediately after, Ta San directly retreated, and the terrifying, suffocating pressure vanished into thin air.

At this moment, the entire conference hall was filled with gasps of sharp intake.

Facing a Universe Rank strong individual for the first time, even just a trace of leaked aura made them feel a world-shattering threat.

What would happen if they directly confronted these terrifying existences?

If Earth encountered such enemies, how would it resist… A series of big question marks continuously surfaced in the minds of these high-ranking Earth figures.

For a time, the entire hall fell silent, not a sound to be heard.

Only Chairman Chen Fan’s voice continued: “What you don’t know is that even powerful Universe Rank Martial Artists like Ta Yi, Ta Er, and Ta San were defeated and became slaves to be sold!!”

At this point, the eyes of the three Universe Rank strong individuals suddenly dimmed slightly. They recalled their many clansmen who were also enslaved and sold, and sorrow welled up… Everyone in the conference hall was stunned on the spot!

Such powerful Universe Rank strong individuals would actually be treated as slaves!?

Everyone looked incredulous, their eyes wide as they stared at Chairman Chen Fan.

However, Chairman Chen Fan did not disappoint them!

Clang!!!

The large screen above everyone’s heads suddenly switched, and the scene shifted to the slave trading market on Qiulong Star.

What first entered everyone’s sight was a vast, sprawling market.

On both sides of the incredibly wide streets were dense ‘crowds’ and shouting slave traders.

Although those present could not understand the universal language, their eyes were not blind.

The ‘crowds’ they saw were all filled with sorrow, despair, and blood-red eyes.

They looked like livestock, confined in cages and bound together with specially made steel chains.

“These are at least Planetary Level Martial Artists from various living planets. They were captured from all over the universe by strong individuals and sold at low prices!”

Chairman Chen Fan said in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

The entire hall erupted in an uproar again. These martial artists, who could serve as council members in the God of War Palace, were now being sold like livestock on the street.

Is this the law of survival in the universe?

Many people had cold sweat dripping from their foreheads, and even more leaned back in their chairs, slowly closing their eyes.

Planetary Level individuals being sold as slaves!

Astral Rank individuals also being sold as slaves!

Even Universe Rank Martial Artists were being sold as slaves?

The leaders of various factions and the heads of various base cities looked at the virtual projection, their eyes trembling violently.

“May I ask, Chairman Chen Fan, is all of this true!?” Empress Elizabeth of the Europa continent stood up.

“Yes, it is true!” Chairman Chen Fan nodded lightly and continued:

“I went to the universe once and personally witnessed races tens of thousands of times stronger than Earth being sold as slaves, generation after generation, endlessly!!”

Upon hearing this, some leaders and faction heads once again broke out in cold sweat.

In the hall, there was a long silence.

“So, this time I’ve returned because I don’t want the tragedy of these enslaved races to befall Earth!”

“To escape the fate of being enslaved and invaded, we must become stronger at all costs!!”

Chairman Chen Fan’s voice was deep and resonant, and an unprecedented brilliant divine light burst forth from his eyes.
