Chapter 966

Blue Star, Jingdu City

This meeting was prepared for a month, so there was no hurry. Ye Chen arranged many articulate people to persuade and explain to the attendees after the first meeting, conveying the spirit of the entire declaration.

After this declaration, there will be a series of actions, such as Blue Star preparing to establish an Interstellar Bank, allowing each planet to invest. This bank will provide loans to each planet to develop their industries that benefit the people.

Finance is just one aspect; there will be many more measures implemented afterwards, such as providing some technologies for free, especially technologies related to people’s livelihoods. Blue Star can provide these and even help them build some factories for their industrial foundations.

Correspondingly, some concepts like patents also need to be spread, so that in the future they must follow patent laws, paving the way for profit from certain mid- to high-level technologies.

In short, this is not just a simple meeting; it is a development blueprint for the Heavenly Court’s various Star Domains, and many actions are unfolding along this declaration.

Undoubtedly, Blue Star will also be the one to gain the most benefits. In the short term, it will be a win-win situation. Some less advanced planets can modernize in a very short time.

"Master, we have basically received feedback from all the planets. Tiannan Star Domain, because of our close communication, has a strong acceptance ability and shows a willingness to sign the declaration. As for Tianbei Star Domain, there is no strong opposition, only some undecided ones, and I am still working on them."

Ye Chen secretly reported to Lin Jiang that after several days of interaction, he had grasped these people’s attitudes. Tiannan Star Domain has no opposition and has all agreed, as they have had a long-standing connection with Blue Star. Their ability to accept is strong, thanks in part to countless international students who brought Blue Star’s civilization to their planets.

"The meeting will end a month later. If there are still those who are undecided, we can ignore them. It’s fine to keep a few as antagonists; comparisons help highlight differences. The remaining plans will be completed in ten to one hundred years, from close to far, to quickly strengthen their capabilities."

"Is Master still worried about a backlash from Buddhism?"

"Yes, I’ve received news that Buddhism in Tianyuan Star Domain is also developing technology; several Buddhist worlds in Tianbei Star Domain have sent scientists and engineers over."

"Master, even so, they should not be able to compare with us, right? What strength do they have? At most, they are at industrial levels 3.0 or maybe 4.0."

Ye Chen said, "In terms of industrial level, Blue Star should be at a level of 6.0. Even though it seems like just a generation or two difference, it’s a world apart."

"That’s not how we should say it. The Buddhist Realm is much larger than us, and we currently lack the power to influence their technology. We don’t know what geniuses may arise from there, so we need to be careful and not let ourselves fail."

Lin Jiang said, "Whether it’s technological civilization or mastering the Immortal Language, population size is very important. Only with a large enough population can extraordinary geniuses be born. In this aspect, Blue Star’s six planets with hundreds of billions of people don’t have an advantage. The Tianyuan Star Domain has eighteen Buddhist planets, which conservatively have at least three or four hundred billion people."

"Yes, Master, I will continue to talk with them."

"Hmm, if you do this well, your position will be fully secured, and no one will dare to say anything again."

Lin Jiang said, "To maintain a top position in Blue Star’s culture, you need prestige. Since there are no battles to fight right now, promoting Blue Star’s culture and creating benefits for Blue Star is the best way."

A month quickly passed, and the Blue Star Declaration was signed in the presence of countless media.

However, the elders from each house did not leave; instead, teams from each house gradually arrived. Signing the declaration was just the beginning; the various follow-up measures were the main focus. Since they were not experts in this area, they needed to send professionals to discuss it. Thankfully, there were many foreign students from each house in Blue Star, so there are enough knowledgeable people here.

The negotiations in this aspect were very difficult. Professionals had to be very careful in their fields. It was already good if an agreement could be reached in a year. This made Ye Chen truly exhausted, even more so than fighting a battle in space with a Buddhist cultivator.

"Taoist Friend Lin"

Ming’an also came. This was Ming’an’s first appearance after becoming immortal.

"Taoist Friend Ming’an"

"Taoist Friend Lin’s skills are impressive! This is to combine the powers of two Star Domains!"

"It’s about right. The situation is not very good. We need to make more preparations."

"But I heard that there are many traps in this Blue Star Declaration."

"Who said that? If there are any problems, you can bring them up, but you can’t spread rumors!"

Lin Jiang said, "What traps? Nonsense! It’s clearly an open strategy!"

"Let’s not talk about anything else, just finance. Who can compete with you in finance? Sooner or later, you will take everything from them."

Ming’an said that Canglan Star’s signing of the declaration was out of necessity, but they have already seen many traps. With Blue Star’s overwhelming technology, there are too many ways for them to suffer losses.

"Taoist Friend Ming’an, I don’t know who you listened to, but it’s unfair to slander Blue Star. Finance has its own laws, and we all follow the same rules. We also take on the same risks."

"And you know how finance helps real industries. You have been studying at Blue Star for a long time. Are you really going to give up due to a small problem? Or if Canglan Star has better ideas, please share them. We are willing to lead with Canglan Star."

"Ahem, Taoist Friend Lin, why are you so angry? I was just making a suggestion."

Ming’an said that Canglan Star indeed doesn’t have that ability, or rather, if we just talk about cultivating Immortal Language, Blue Star also doesn’t hold that position because it can’t show the level of dominance over other planets. Only in technology does Blue Star have that power.

"Since there is none, then don’t believe in rumors. Whether Blue Star has any conspiracies will be proven over time. If any other planets suffer major losses, they can easily tear up the agreement."

Lin Jiang said that this Blue Star declaration is truly not about harvesting the Star Domain. It is about being genuine and achieving a win-win situation. Blue Star has been preparing for a long time for this, previously uniting all planets and establishing a governing system as the foundation. Without this foundation, what could they achieve?

Ming’an’s doubts were not so obvious anymore, but he still had concerns because he already understood that if this way of playing continued, Blue Star would gain countless benefits, truly immeasurable compared to merely dabbling in interstellar trade before.

The Canglan Star is very envious of this benefit, but it cannot replace the Blue Star; they do not have that ability.

After dealing with Ming’an, not long after, the Demon Queen also appeared.

Although the Demon Queen is also part of the Blue Star camp, she is very interested in this Blue Star declaration because it concerns the interests of the demon race.

In the Blue Star declaration, there is one important rule: each planet must treat the demon race equally and see the transformed demon race as part of the human race. The rights of humans must also be granted to the demon race.

This involves the definition of the demon race, meaning what it is. The current rule is that for transformed beings, beast forms are considered animals, and human forms are considered humans.

There are also special rules, such as descendants born from two transformed demon races, even if they have not transformed, must still be seen as demon race, but with requirements, like being direct blood relatives, which have certain limits.

Overall, this declaration legally protects the interests of the demon race, and as long as they are willing to follow the declaration, their lives will be better than before. Of course, this refers to the demon race on other planets; on the Blue Star, the demon race is already treated as equals.

"Thank you this time; all of us in the demon race are very grateful."

"Demon Queen, what are you saying? We have always been allies, haven’t we?"

"Yes, in the future I will look for new planets for life, a paradise that belongs completely to the demon race. I hope you don’t mind."

"This is not a big deal; we will be together for a long time."

"I won’t say thank you for a great favor. I owe you a favor, and if necessary, I will give my life for you."

After a long silence, the Demon Queen said that after her Transmigration, she had understood her mission. As the Demon Queen, her life belonged to the demon race, and her existence was for the demon race. This time, Lin Jiang had helped the demon race greatly, enough for her to repay with her life.

"What happened in the past is already history. If you have time, take care of your father; I can’t do anything about it."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Jiang said that he could not do anything about Small Shadiao. This guy had been wandering around for thousands of years, living too comfortably, making many people envy him, and giving them a chance to reconcile as father and daughter.
