153: Chapter 153 The Third Battle for the Habitable Zone: Negotiations

The Earth fleet of 660 warships swiftly entered the Oort Cloud.

Not long after, they saw Neptune, the eighth planet of the Solar System where Blue Star was located.

As well as the sixth and seventh planets, Saturn and Uranus.

These were the three outermost planets of that Solar System in the Milky Way Galaxy which had experienced a Helium Flash and had not been swallowed by the red giant star.

Although everyone in the fleet already knew that the Xingyang Civilization had pulled three planets into the Solar System where Blue Star resided.

Seeing it with their own eyes still stirred a different kind of emotion within them.

Elisa lowered her head, her pupils flickering slightly as she whispered, "Our sun, which turned into a red giant star, was reportedly swallowed by Blue Star's sun. Our home, our birthplace—that Solar System no longer exists."

"Hope" comforted her, "That is a home we can never return to; whether it exists or not no longer matters. Look forward; though the sun is gone, we humans will endure forever!"

Chu Yuhang nodded firmly several times, "Yes! Earth Humans will never perish! In this battle, we will surely seize the Habitable Zone where Blue Star is located!"

However, many other crew members showed expressions of relief, staring intently at the three planets, happy to see them again.

Before long, the massive Earth fleet encountered the Blue Star fleet not far from Saturn.

To their great surprise, the opposition had only five scattered warships hovering near Saturns Rings.

The Cyborg General Commander, Ye Gui, stared out the porthole and took a deep breath, saying, "These Blue Star people are too confident, aren't they? 5 against 660, and they think they can stop us."

Chu Yuhang wore a smile of certain victory, "This is where their pride and arrogance lie, allowing tens of thousands of our people to migrate and live on their planet just like that. I will make them realize the price of being completely defenseless!"

Soon, the communicators of both sides were opened.

The face of the Blue Star Missionary Officer appeared on the large screen of the Earth flagship.

Tu Kulei spoke with measured cadence, "What is the intent behind your massive military mobilization this time?"

"The Great Deity Xingyang has mercy on all living beings. As you must have noticed over the years, he has already tacitly allowed your people to migrate to our planet."

"As long as they convert sincerely, they will receive the same citizen treatment as the eighteen races of Blue Star—working, living, and thriving!"

"Can you really not appreciate the deity's well-meaning intentions? Or has your conscience been eaten by dogs!"

Watching the face on the other side grow increasingly indignant as he spoke.

Chu Yuhang gave a cold laugh, "Earth Humans are supreme; we don't need the condescending pity of a charlatan civilization like yours!"

"We will seize what we want ourselves; we don't need your self-righteous charity!"

On the divine might, everyone watched the Human Emperor on the large screen shamelessly utter those words.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

Yu Lan cursed even more loudly, "So a person can have no bottom line to this extent. The universe is vast indeed, and there's no end to its wonders."

"We must capture him alive this time. I'm going to stomp my foot hard on the face of such a shameless scoundrel!"

But despite the cursing, she still followed the deity's instructions to use diplomacy before force.

Thus, a video was transmitted to every warship in the Earth fleet.

Although Chu Yuhang had set up signal screens, such a small matter was no trouble at all for the technicians on Blue Star.

Soon, all the crew members of the Earth fleet saw the video that had bypassed the blockade.

In it, a young Earth male was speaking eloquently to the camera, his expression relaxed and sincere!

"Hello, fellow Earthlings. I migrated from the Wandering Earth to Blue Star with my father ten years ago."

"I was just a child then. But now, I am a member of the Blue Star Gospel Army! And my younger sister became a Saintess in a cathedral last year!"

"Will you be monitored living on Blue Star? Yes! For the first few years, you will live under military surveillance. But law-abiding Earthlings who convert sincerely will soon have their surveillance lifted!"

"All believers are equal! This is what I've felt most deeply living on Blue Star. Anyone can earn more money by putting in more labor and wisdom."

"But including Earthlings, I haven't seen a single person insulted or made things difficult for by their superiors. Whether it's worship or other social activities, no one gets to jump the queue or receive preferential treatment just because they are wealthy or hold a high position!"

"Under the deity, all living beings are equal. I have lived very happily on Blue Star for all these years. I also Hope those of you still hesitating will come to live on Blue Star and stop clinging to that cold, lifeless Earth!"

The short video ended quickly.

In fact, from various fragments of news sent back by the migrants, Earthlings were aware of the many benefits of Blue Star.

This was also why there were always so many people signing up to migrate.

However, the fact that they could join the army and become a Saintess still left many people greatly shocked.

It was clear that the Xingyang Civilization did not treat Earth Humans as outsiders but as their own citizens.

This deeply moved the Earth crew members.

Someone whispered to the person next to them, "The Xingyang Civilization is indeed an enlightened and inclusive Civilization of Gods. No wonder their eighteen races have been able to coexist peacefully until now. This would be unimaginable on Earth!"

The person beside them immediately agreed, "It would be unimaginable on any planet! The Xingyang Civilization is truly a great civilization!"

But at this moment, Chu Yuhang was dismissive.

He clamored, "What's the use of sending these? If your so-called deity is truly merciful enough, then he should give up the Habitable Zone!"

Tu Kulei no longer wanted to listen to his nonsense and directly lashed out, "Get lost! The Xingyang Civilization does not welcome someone like you. If you want to fight, then come; this time, we will surely leave nothing of you!"

Everyone on the Earth flagship held their breath, waiting for the Emperor's command.

After all, they had mobilized the entire force; if they left because of a single sentence from the other side, the Emperor would truly lose all face.

But unexpectedly, Chu Yuhang smiled faintly and said, "Before we start fighting, let's send envoys to talk. I want to propose our conditions! If we start fighting directly, I'm afraid you will regret it!"

With a face full of rage, Tu Kulei was about to order their five warships to launch an attack.

But Chu Xingyang stood up, "Then let's meet. I will take a Shuttle to the middle zone and see what their envoy has to say."

Yu Lan immediately went to prepare the Shuttle.

Tu Kulei stopped him, "Bishop, Earthlings are extremely insidious. You are the head of the Holy See; you absolutely must not go!"

Xiliu whispered from the side, "Missionary Officer, don't worry. Have you forgotten that the Bishop has been granted power by the deity? He will be fine!"

Chu Yuhang watched the Bishop of the Holy See rising in the opposing warship and then instructed his subordinates, "Have the envoy take a Carrier-based aircraft to meet with the opposing Bishop."

After saying that, a sinister smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, "That charlatan leader is dead meat!"
