“A cosmic civilization that wants to become powerful mainly has three paths: technology, economy, and evolution."

Secretary-General Angus said.

"The growth of technology is very slow," Secretary-General Angus said. "And it requires a large number of scientific and technological talents, and it needs to be accumulated generation after generation before it can transform."

"Economy, if the economy is strong enough, we can buy weapons strong enough to protect us." Secretary-General Angus said, "Don't think that cosmic citizens are protected by the Cosmic Human Alliance regulations, and no one dares to kill them."

"The universe is vast. In a remote starry sky, wiping out a civilization, as long as no evidence is left, even the murderer cannot be found."

"Of course, wiping out a civilization without the Cosmic Human Alliance discovering the truth is extremely difficult. Once discovered, the price is also huge. So the possibility of it happening is extremely low. But cosmic citizens being killed individually is still very common.”

Secretary-General Angus said, "So we need a strong enough economy to buy weapons strong enough to protect us Blue Star humans. But the growth of a civilization's economy also takes time to accumulate slowly, and this cannot be rushed."

Individuals can invest, gamble, and strive for high returns.

But the economy of a cosmic civilization is very large, and it involves all aspects of assets. Stability is the top priority, and the growth rate is naturally slow.

"The third path is evolution." Secretary-General Angus said, "This is the most common path for many weak cosmic civilizations to rise in the vast universe, because this path is most likely to produce miracles."

"The evolution of individuals is the pursuit of countless civilized humans." Secretary-General Angus said, "With evolution, individuals will become more and more powerful, their brains will become more and more developed, their intelligence will become higher and higher, and their lifespans will become longer and longer. More powerful life forms will have a higher status in the Cosmic Human Alliance."

Zhou, the director of Xia Country next to him, smiled and said: "I believe you can feel now that your brain thinking speed is much faster than before you practiced the evolution method! And you are still within the scope of planetary life. If you become a Starfield life, your brain will be more developed, and learning will be faster! If you reach the ninth level, then you will surpass the scope of Starfield life and become a higher level of life! Your learning ability will be stronger, and a long life will accumulate endless wisdom. Your strength can easily destroy planets, and each of you will be a treasure of the Cosmic Human Alliance."

"The universe also values talents. What are talents? Strength and wisdom are both selection criteria." The representative of the Roman Empire said, "The rarer the talent, the more it will be valued. If you are valued and your status is high, you will naturally help your home civilization."

"The so-called ten evolution methods were not discovered on Firefly Star, but were obtained after contacting the Cosmic Human Alliance. These are the most basic ten evolution methods of the Cosmic Human Alliance," Secretary-General Angus said.

"After integrating into the Cosmic Human Alliance, all countries of our Blue Star civilization quickly united and began to discuss countermeasures."

Secretary-General Angus said, "The cultivation of the evolution method must be combined with the virtual world. Otherwise, the mortality rate is too high. And 7 billion 'virtual helmets' and a 'virtual world host' that can maintain tens of billions of people are more valuable than a life planet!"

"Actually, many humans in elementary cosmic civilizations..." Tiano Xilei, who was sitting there, suddenly said, "Have never entered the virtual world."

"Huh?"

Xu Jingming and the others looked at Tiano Xilei in surprise.

"Let me introduce you, this is the envoy from the Cosmic Human Alliance." Secretary-General Angus stood up, and the representatives of the other five permanent member countries also stood up.

"An envoy from the Cosmic Human Alliance?" Xu Jingming was a little dumbfounded, and Liu Hai and the others were also a little dumbfounded.

The person they were competing with was an alien?

"Everyone."

Tiano stood up, smiled slightly, his skin began to change, turning gray, his hair and eyebrows also turned silver-gray, the color of his pupils also changed, and his aura returned to the aura of a Starfield life, much stronger. Tiano looked at Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, Miyagawa Akari and others who were in shock, "Let me introduce myself, my full name is Tiano Chimon Xilei. I haven't been working in the Cosmic Human Alliance for long, but I took on a mission to protect the entire Blue Star civilization. There is still one year left before it expires."

Everyone present had stood up.

"Envoy Tiano." Everyone expressed their respect.

"Sit down." Tiano sat down first, and then everyone else sat down.

Xu Jingming looked at Tiano, feeling very complicated.

Tiano, who had been competing with him for so long, was an alien? An envoy of the Cosmic Human Alliance?

Tiano glanced at Xu Jingming with a non-smiling expression, and then continued: "The star system where Blue Star civilization is located has been identified and confirmed to have very precious mineral deposits. By selling many mineral deposits, a 'virtual world host' was finally installed on Blue Star, allowing everyone in the entire civilization to enter the virtual world. This alone has surpassed most elementary cosmic civilizations."

"Most elementary cosmic civilizations still slowly learn in reality through martial arts schools and schools, and they will be more careful and slower. Unlike you, everyone is trying recklessly in the virtual world, not afraid of failure." Tiano smiled, "Your Blue Star civilization has indeed invested a lot in evolution."

"A thirty-two-year protection period sounds very long," Secretary-General Angus continued. "But first, there is contact with the Cosmic Human Alliance, collecting intelligence, integration, identification of mineral deposits, integration into the virtual world network, the establishment of the Blue Star Alliance, the construction of the entire civilization's security and protection system, the determination of mineral buyers, the purchase of virtual world hosts... all aspects take time. It takes time for the purchased items to be sent from distant star systems."

"It is very rare to be able to allow everyone to enter the virtual world before the protection period," Secretary-General Angus said with emotion.

"In fact, in the past thirty years," Director Zhou said, "We have also done many things to give people all over the world very high benefits, including Africa, which was initially backward in education. In these thirty years, the average life expectancy in Africa has increased rapidly and is comparable to that of other continents, and the level of education has also been greatly improved."

"The increase in lifespan and the improvement in control are also for the service of evolution," Director Zhou said.

Secretary-General Angus continued: "In this World Martial Arts Competition, Yeshalova and Madeline Logan have been practicing the evolution method for more than ten years. They participated to temper you and give you greater pressure. Envoy Tiano is even willing to condescend and has been in the virtual world from the beginning, which also gives our Blue Star civilization's geniuses strong enough stimulation. For example, Xu Jingming, the breakthrough in the final, also has to thank Envoy Tiano."

"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded, looking at Tiano, "If not for the envoy's secret skills, I am afraid I would not have realized the Light Transformation Thirty-Six Chain Strike. Without enough pressure, I would not have realized the Transcendence-level move."

Tiano nodded slightly after hearing this.

But he muttered in his heart.

Pressure?

Did I give you so much pressure? And you broke through?

You also gave me a lot of pressure, and you defeated me, so why is my progress so little?

"Everyone should have noticed that in the past thirty years, the benefits have become better and better, and the technology has become more and more developed." Secretary-General Angus said, "In fact, many of our current technologies do not require human participation."

"No wonder robots are so advanced and intelligent. It turns out that they have come into contact with the technology in the universe." Xu Jingming sighed secretly.

"In the future... there will be fewer and fewer jobs that require humans."

Secretary-General Angus said, "We will reduce the welfare of ordinary people and ensure their most basic survival needs. If you need high welfare, you must have achievements in technology, evolution, or economy."

"Because the security period is only one year, in the future, we must promote all mankind to work harder," Secretary-General Angus said solemnly, "If you want to obtain a good life and a high status, you must make contributions to civilization."

The other five representatives also nodded in agreement.

"Yes."

Tiano nodded, "You must seize the time. Once the protection period is over, powerful civilizations will definitely come to bleed you! Without the protection of the Cosmic Human, just according to the basic regulations, you will definitely suffer all kinds of losses in foreign trade, and even the entire civilization will eventually be unable to maintain itself. Choosing to rely on and integrate into other civilizations is also common."

"The first year of the virtual world's opening was for exploration," Secretary-General Angus said, "After that, we must strengthen the 'social contribution' plan. The entire human race must work together so that our Blue Star civilization can better stand in the forest of the universe. And you nine are the geniuses selected from billions of people, and I hope you can contribute more to the entire home civilization."

"Yes."

Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, Tiger Fossen, Haru Singh, Tu Ling, Riven Gullit, Miyagawa Akari, Akilov, and Alan Emelianenko all felt the heavy pressure on their shoulders.

They are the nine most talented people in the entire civilization!

If the sky falls, the tall people will hold it up, and they are the tallest nine people!

"The first step is for you to become Starfield life as soon as possible and become cosmic citizens," Secretary-General Angus said, "Only by becoming cosmic citizens can you be protected by the regulations of the Cosmic Human Alliance, and can you enter the virtual world network with your own identity."

Xu Jingming and the other nine nodded.

"The prize money from this competition will also be distributed to each of you," Secretary-General Angus said, "The prize money this time is cosmic currency. In the future, when you deal with other cosmic civilizations, Blue Star currency will be useless, it must be cosmic currency! These cosmic currencies are very precious, and they are all accumulated by our Blue Star selling minerals, so be sure to cherish them."

"Yes." The nine of them felt the burden on their shoulders.

"Work hard, it's not just you, there are many people all over the world who are also fighting for their home civilization," Secretary-General Angus said, "Everyone is fighting side by side."

…

The meeting ended quickly, and the competition prize money was distributed to everyone.

"Envoy, please stay." Everyone else left, but Secretary-General Angus stopped Tiano.

"Hmm?" Tiano looked at him.

"Envoy, you know, our Blue Star civilization has a very small vision," Secretary-General Angus said, "Now it is very rare that a Transcendence-level genius 'Xu Jingming' has emerged. We are also discussing internally how to cultivate him and cultivate him. But we are worried that because of our short-sightedness and narrow vision, we will harm him instead. So I hope the envoy can give some guidance."

"You want me to give guidance?" Tiano raised his eyebrows, and also very kindly helped to think about it, "Let me think about it, I have too few Transcendence-level geniuses that I have come into contact with, and more ninth-level ones."
