Chapter 1 Pearwood World

Virtual World Network, Pearwood World.

Xu Jingming, Li Miaomiao, Xu Lixing, Pang Ze, Frelo… a total of nine people sat around a conference table. Xu Jingming was clearly seated in the main position, his gaze sweeping across the senior executives attending the meeting.

These members, aside from Xu Jingming's most trusted wife and daughter, also included some members of the Blue Star Civilization, as well as some talents absorbed from other civilizations.

These senior executives were somewhat nervous at the moment, as most of them were meeting Xu Jingming for the first time.

"Mr. Xu, this is the detailed plan." Pang Ze smiled as he looked at Xu Jingming. "And there are two alternative plans for your perusal."

Pang Ze still served as the chief of the Pearwood Group's think tank, partly due to his abilities, and partly because he was a Blue Star native and an old acquaintance of Xu Jingming.

Many people within the Pearwood Group now possessed greater abilities than Pang Ze, and being able to climb to the third tier of the group's members was already a remarkable achievement. Unlike them, Pang Ze's position was second only to Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing, making him a true giant among the group's top figures.

He wielded considerable influence throughout the Hunter Cosmic Domain.

"Swish."

The plan on the light screen flashed rapidly. As a tenth-order Source Lifeform, Xu Jingming scanned the entire plan, reading all the detailed content of over a million words.

"Execute according to the first plan," Xu Jingming said.

"Yes."

Apart from Li Miaomiao and Xu Lixing, the other six immediately responded respectfully. Facing Xu Jingming, the Blue Star Civilization's greatest leader and the most dazzling figure in the entire cosmic human race, all they had to do was obey.

Li Miaomiao then said, "Jingming, because you want to choose seven adjacent star systems around the Blue Star Civilization's territory, no matter how you choose, it will involve the families of tenth-order Source Lifeforms. The first plan will involve the Shenshui family."

"I know." Xu Jingming smiled and nodded. "The W钩 (Wu Gou) Star Alliance only has a few tenth-order Source Lifeforms, and their family groups are naturally constantly expanding and infiltrating. It's perfectly normal for our Blue Star Civilization to have some overlap with them when adding seven star systems to our territory. I believe they will understand."

Pang Ze observed Xu Jingming.

"Xu Jingming used to focus solely on the path of evolution and rarely interfered in group affairs. This time, his methods seem much more ruthless than they were in the Blue Star era. He's swallowing up seven star systems with ease." Pang Ze thought, *But after all, five hundred years have passed, and Source Lifeforms have terrifying learning abilities, so they will naturally continue to evolve. And this is a good thing for the Blue Star Civilization!*

Xu Jingming sat in the main seat at the conference table, holding a pen and beginning to write a personal letter.

"Make 30 more copies," Xu Jingming said after finishing a personal letter. With a thought, the personal letter turned into a total of 31 copies. The content of the letters was the same, with only the salutation in the first sentence changing.

Xu Lixing couldn't help but curiously look at the contents of the personal letter and said in surprise, "Dad, this personal letter of yours is very polite."

Putting down the pen in his hand, Xu Jingming looked at his daughter and smiled. "Matters of mutual consent should naturally be polite."

The other six people in the conference room, apart from Xu Jingming's family, all felt a tremor in their hearts.

Swallowing up seven star systems while being so gentle and polite made these senior executives feel inexplicably awe-struck and fearful. "Compared to the Madam and Miss, Master Wu Ming is much more terrifying."

*I should also be less greedy! Otherwise, if I'm discovered, I'm afraid I'll die without a burial place.* These people who could climb to the top ranks of the group were all very capable. But today's contact with Xu Jingming made them feel a signal of "terror" rise in their hearts!

Xu Jingming's gaze swept over these group executives, and then he tapped lightly, "Send it to the 31 civilizations in the seven star systems."

The Guyu Civilization was a cosmic elementary civilization possessing 71 life planets, and it was one of the more powerful among the 31 civilizations to whom Xu Jingming wrote letters.

Their official channels received Xu Jingming's letter and a purchase plan.

"Master Wu Ming has written a personal letter to our Guyu Civilization. Please read it carefully, everyone present." Hundreds of civilization councilors of the Guyu Civilization were reading the personal letter.

"The personal letter also includes a plan to purchase all the planets of our civilization, please read that as well," the meeting's host said. The huge conference hall was silent as everyone read.

"Reading is complete, now please discuss," the host said.

"I'll say a few words first." The Great Chieftain of the Guyu Civilization smiled. "I have read Master Wu Ming's personal letter. This was personally written by Master Wu Ming, which shows his respect for our Guyu Civilization!"

"Secondly, Master Wu Ming, as the most dazzling tenth-order Source Lifeform of the contemporary human race in the entire universe, his homeland, the Blue Star Civilization, only has the territory of a few star systems! It is indeed too small."

"Our Guyu Civilization happens to be adjacent to the Blue Star Civilization, so the Blue Star Civilization will naturally swallow our planets if it wants to expand!"

"What moves me the most is… Master Wu Ming is unwilling to bully our Guyu Civilization. It is only natural that he wants to help his home civilization. But he would rather buy our Guyu Civilization's life planets at double the estimated value. What greatness is this!" The Great Chieftain's eyes were filled with tears.

"Our Guyu Civilization can choose other star systems and choose suitable places to rebuild our home. Moreover, Master Wu Ming has also promised that the Pearwood Group will help us rebuild our home. After the civilization migrates, our Guyu Civilization will not only not weaken but will also become stronger."

The Great Chieftain sighed, "There are too few, too few who are as kind as Master Wu Ming in the cosmic human race."

"I suggest," the Vice Chieftain next to him immediately said, "All the councilors of our Guyu Civilization should jointly sign a reply letter to Master Wu Ming. And I think a 100% premium is too much. We can't take such a big advantage of Master Wu Ming. I think a 50% premium is enough; we shouldn't be too greedy."

"I second it!" "I second it!"

None of the many civilization councilors of the Guyu Civilization refused, because after the Great Chieftain, Vice Chieftain, Speaker, and others all expressed their opinions, it was clear that the major factions within the civilization had unified their opinions.

Soon, a reply letter was prepared, signed by all the councilors, and sent back to Xu Jingming. In just five minutes, Xu Jingming also gave a reply.

"Master Wu Ming has already made a decision and the 100% premium will not be changed," the Great Chieftain said loudly. "What we need to do now is to quickly confirm the life planets we are about to migrate to."

The royal family of the Taiyou Civilization also received Xu Jingming's personal letter.

"With just a word from him, how would we dare to resist?" The king of the Taiyou Civilization, sitting on the throne, swept his gaze around. "What do you all say, how should we reply?"

"Besides agreeing, is there any other way?"

"Who dares to refuse Master Wu Ming?" The elders shook their heads.

"Good, since everyone agrees, then let's prepare to migrate." The king's eyes were filled with greed. "Our Taiyou Civilization has a total of nine life planets. I don't think it's necessary to have nine life planets after the migration. We can completely reduce it to seven or even five life planets. The planet's population can squeeze together."… "100% should be given to those civilians at normal prices. The rest can go into our royal family's pockets. There's no need to give the 100% premium to those civilians," an elder said with a smile.

"Uncle, this letter also comes with a purchase plan. The plan says that the Pearwood Group will help with the civilization's migration," a young elder said.

"When the Blue Star Civilization expands, the Pearwood Group pays great attention to the interests of the common people. This time, the Pearwood Group's assistance with the migration will definitely keep a close eye on the interests of the common people."

"What do you mean?" The king frowned.

"This piece of meat won't be so easy for us to swallow," the young elder said.

"All the 100% premium has to be given to the common people?" the king said angrily.

"We should be able to get a small portion, but according to the Pearwood Group's previous behavior, they will definitely protect the interests of the common people," an elder shook his head.

The young elder said, "We don't need to worry too much! We should fully cooperate with the Pearwood Group. What if the money goes into the hands of the common people? The common people are not cosmic citizens. We have plenty of ways to get their wealth into our hands."

The elders present understood.

"The meat in the pot will ultimately be enjoyed by the meat-eaters," the young elder said.

"Yes, yes, yes, nephew is right. We should fully cooperate with the Pearwood Group." The king laughed loudly. "Let's hurry up and reply to Master Wu Ming."

One reply letter after another.

Back then, the Blue Star Civilization could only grit its teeth and endure the Black Moon Civilization's exploitation.

But now, the civilizations of the seven star systems were facing Xu Jingming. Xu Jingming was many times stronger than the Black Moon Civilization. In the cosmic human race, Xu Jingming was truly a great figure.

To be favored by this supreme, peerless figure! Even the emperors of advanced civilizations would not dare to say they were more noble than Xu Jingming.

The pressure brought by such a figure was unimaginable. Most importantly, Xu Jingming offered a "100% premium" and also wrote such a friendly personal letter.

Who could refuse?

Virtual World Network. A personal space.

"Father, one of the affiliated civilizations controlled by our Shenshui family, the Lanqi Civilization, has encountered some trouble. Master Wu Ming wants to swallow up all the planets of the Lanqi Civilization."

The blue-haired man said, "Master Wu Ming has already written a personal letter and attached a purchase plan to buy them at a 100% premium. The Lanqi Civilization is asking me how they should reply."

The blue-haired elder glanced at him, "How many planets does the Lanqi Civilization have?"

"It has 92 life planets," the blue-haired man said.

"92 life planets are worth only a few million trillion cosmic coins." The blue-haired elder looked at his son. "I'd be embarrassed to send that little money to Brother Wu Ming as a gift!"

"Father, you mean…" The blue-haired man was stunned.

"In the next 100,000 years, Brother Wu Ming will have the final say in the entire W钩 (Wu Gou) Star Alliance. Do you understand?" The blue-haired elder looked at his son. "Don't talk about a small Lanqi Civilization, even if he were to take away most of our Shenshui family's territory, I would have to endure it."

The blue-haired man's body trembled slightly.

"Think it over," the blue-haired elder waved his hand indifferently.

"Yes, Father." The blue-haired man immediately left.

In this personal space, Elder Shenshui sat alone, frowning slightly. "What's wrong with Brother Wu Ming now?"

"He became a tenth-order cultivator in just over two hundred years before, and became one of the top five in the Primordial Research Institute in just over three hundred years! But I'm not too afraid of him. After all, he has a bottom line when it comes to doing things." Elder Shenshui thought, *But now he's been polluted by higher dimensions. I heard that it's easy to lose control and go crazy after being polluted by higher dimensions.*

"Forget it, I'll just pretend I don't know about this matter." Elder Shenshui was really afraid.
