114: Chapter 114 The Blue Star Federation is Officially Established

At the exact same moment, political leaders, think tanks, and military headquarters around the world began emergency meetings.

The topic of discussion was identical.

They all knew what the word 'voluntary' meant at this current juncture.

It wasn't a choice of whether to join or not, but a choice between joining within a day or being completely abandoned after a day.

Join, hand over ownership of resources and technology, and retain Federation citizenship.

Don't join, and stay on the ruins of the old era, left to fend for themselves without technological support, an evolutionary System, or security guarantees.

In reality, there was only one choice.

At the same moment, cheers erupted within Great Xia.

Within seconds, hundreds of millions of messages flooded social media.

Some young people said, 'This should have happened a long time ago.'

A middle-aged person posted, 'We are industrious, hardworking, and progressive; we are the strongest nation in the world.'

An elderly person wiped their eyes three times at the screen, finally saying only, 'Wonderful.'

Meanwhile, the ordinary citizens of various countries did not have much resistance to joining the Federation.

A unified supply System, free medical care and education, and extraordinary Cultivate resources—these things didn't require a political stance; ordinary people could easily understand them.

The ones who truly exploded in anger were the elites and powerful classes of various nations.

Power, wealth, and monopoly status would all vanish into thin air under the Federation's System.

The elites of the United States reacted the most violently.

In an undisclosed underground meeting venue, dozens of people sat around a long table.

Some proposed launching a direct nuclear strike, while others suggested freezing all overseas assets as bargaining chips.

But all proposals crashed against the same wall.

'It's useless. Chen is too powerful.'

The speaker was not a dove.

He was simply clearer about the reality than the others.

With the power Chen Mo displayed during the disaster—the three-thousand-meter Law of Heaven and Earth and attacks of mass-energy annihilation level—even if all the nuclear warheads of the United States were combined, they wouldn't be able to Breakthrough his defense.

'Our only option is to negotiate. We must see if we can secure some positions within the Federation,' someone said in a very low voice.

The same scene was playing out simultaneously in the United Kingdom, Russia, and France.

They all knew that this was not a negotiation; it was begging for entry.

This so-called 'voluntary joining' was fundamentally not a multiple-choice question.

The deadline drew closer, hour by hour.

Countries from the Southeast Continent, the Central Continent, and the African Continent had already begun submitting their declarations of entry one after another.

With each additional declaration, the bargaining chips of the countries still hesitating dwindled further.

They tried to fight for terms at the very last moment.

Federation parliamentary seats, autonomy retention clauses, military command rights, and extraordinary resource allocation plans.

All were rejected.

Great Xia's reply was only a single sentence: Each former nation may nominate one person to enter the Federation House of Representatives, which has a total of three thousand seats; all applicant countries must uniformly abide by Federation laws and complete internal structural reorganization.

In the final few hours, after repeatedly confirming that there was absolutely no room for bargaining, the four deadlocked nations submitted their applications to join one by one.

At this point, at 9:00 AM on November 26, 2031.

The Blue Star Federation was officially established.

At the exact same instant, every communication channel across the globe was covered by the same signal.

Chen Mo's voice spread to every corner of the planet through the satellite network.

'The Blue Star Federation is established today.'

Across the globe, people of different skin colors and languages erupted in cheers at the same moment.

Some stood on streets just cleared of ruins, looking up at the sky and shouting.

Some embraced the people next to them in the underground spaces of shelters.

Some sat before live-stream screens for a long time, suddenly realizing that their hands were shaking.

This day was designated as Federation Day.

Over the next five days, a series of policies regarding the Federation's structure were intensively implemented.

The Federation adopted a voting System, with the three thousand representatives of the House of Representatives nominated equally by each state based on the original countries.

Twelve Standing Councilors would be responsible for the Federation's daily administration and military decisions.

Chen Mo would serve as the Speaker, holding veto power over all Federation resolutions.

The Great Xia language was designated as the common language of the Federation, to be used alongside the local languages of each state.

Federation Credits replaced all old currencies worldwide, and the unified financial System completed its transition within a week.

The military forces of the former nations were uniformly taken over by the Federation Department of Defense, and all extraordinary affairs were integrated into the Federal Extraordinary Administration.

Han City was designated as the capital of the Federation.

Minister Li Long was appointed as the first Director-General of the Federal Extraordinary Administration, while also serving as a Standing Councilor.

The 'Basic Code of Conduct for Federation Citizens' was announced on the third day after the Federation's establishment.

Its core consisted of only eight characters:

'Self-strengthening through cultivation, mutual progress of civilization.'

Starting from the level of basic education, the racial, national, and religious antagonisms left over from the old era were gradually eliminated.

All citizens enjoyed free basic food, healthcare, and education.

All resources were uniformly allocated according to the Federation contribution System, directly eliminating monopoly capital and the privileged classes of the old era at the institutional level.

All policies were fully implemented within five days.

Scattered waves of opposition erupted from a few remnant networks of the old elites, but were quickly suppressed under the direct intervention of the Federal Extraordinary Administration.

The Blue Star officially entered the fast lane of civilization development.

December 1, 2031.

Han City.

The First Federation House of Representatives Congress officially convened.

Three thousand representatives gathered in Han City from various states across the globe.

This city, which had been completely preserved during the disaster, was now endowed with a new identity.

The capital of the Blue Star Federation.

The congress venue was set up in the former Han City International Convention Center, with the flag of the Blue Star Federation hanging on the building's exterior wall.

The lobby's portico was packed with journalists and staff members from all over the world.

His eldest uncle's family was also in the audience.

Instead of sitting in the VIP seats in the very front row, they chose a spot with a good view that was not very conspicuous.

His eldest uncle looked up at Chen Mo on the stage, a slight smile curving the corners of his mouth.

He recalled what Chen Mo looked like when he was a child.

And now, before him stood the entire Federation.

Chen Mo stood before the rostrum.

He wore a simple dark formal suit, without any redundant accessories or emblems representing any power.

He spoke.

'The First Federation House of Representatives Congress now officially opens.'

His voice spread to every corner.

The hall of three thousand people fell silent.

All twelve Standing Councilors were nominated by Great Xia.

This arrangement had caused controversy internationally, but in front of Chen Mo, the controversy quickly vanished.

The parliament was responsible for legislation, while the Standing Councilors were responsible for administration and military command, each overseeing a core department of the Federation.

Procedural rules, personnel regulations, and financial Systems were voted on and passed clause by clause.

Regarding the Mental Training Method, it was broken down into a comprehensive plan executable by the entire populace.

The extraction process of the core agent, the hallucinogen, was uniformly managed by the Federation Ministry of Health, while the preparation process of the Mental Power recovery agent was handled by the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

All practice materials, precautions, and learning paths were integrated into a single application, which was made open to citizens worldwide.

The conditions for claiming the agents were also announced; once one's Mental Power value reached a certain baseline, they could apply for advanced doses.

However, they had to complete preparatory training and pass testing before usage.

Chen Mo listened to the discussions and votes from all sides, remaining silent.

He only spoke up when a proposal needed to be vetoed, targeting a clause that attempted to reserve special resource channels for the elites.

'Vetoed.'

Two words, no explanation. The clause was directly revoked.

The meeting entered its final agenda item.

Chen Mo stood up.

'The First Federation House of Representatives Congress is adjourned.'

Applause rang out from below the stage.

First, the representatives in the front row stood up, followed by the entire hall.

Three thousand people stood up simultaneously, their voices echoing within the building like a low rumble.

Chen Mo walked down from the rostrum amidst the applause.

He did not stop, nor did he look back.

He knew that this was only the beginning.
