Chapter 127: Chapter 85: News

Wang Wu’s gaze met the camera, as if peering into the heart of every viewer. He answered, his voice firm and resonant:

"The impact is an objective reality, and it’s unavoidable."

"But judging from the limited information we currently have, for our Blue Star civilization, the opportunities outweigh the risks, and the benefits outweigh the detriments!"

"The most crucial point is..."

Wang Wu raised a finger to emphasize his point:

"These Star Gates are not wide open; they have extremely strict ’Access Rules’!"

"All stable Star Gates observed so far only allow the lowest energy-level ’First Grade life forms’ to pass through freely."

"This means that no matter how many malicious Alien Races attempt to invade, with Blue Star’s powerful modern technological weapons, we can completely annihilate them the instant they step out of the Star Gate, achieving absolute fire superiority!"

"Therefore, under the current Rules, the sporadic appearance of Alien Races is not yet enough to pose a substantial existential threat to Blue Star."

"Secondly..."

Professor Wang Wu’s voice took on a more speculative tone:

"Not all Alien Race civilizations are inherently hostile or brutally bloodthirsty."

"This point was preliminarily confirmed during the incident last night, when 28 Star Gates opened within Huaxia’s borders."

"Behind 21 of those Star Gates, alien creatures did indeed launch probing attacks or direct invasions against us."

"But!"

"The intelligent races that appeared from the other 7 Star Gates, however, showed a completely different attitude."

"They did not attack. Instead, they sent a clear signal through the Star Realm—"

"With a humble and cautious attitude, they proactively sought to establish contact with our Blue Star civilization!"

"Diplomatic relations?" Obvious surprise showed on Cheng Dan’s face. This completely overturned the public’s stereotype of alien monsters. "These Alien Races... want to establish diplomatic relations with us?"

"That’s right, diplomatic relations!"

Wang Wu confirmed with a nod:

"These seven intelligent races expressed a very clear intention—"

"They hope to engage in mutual commerce with us within the interconnected Star Realm, treating it as a neutral buffer zone. They want to establish trade relations, exchanging our respective worlds’ unique products, resources, and information."

Cheng Dan quickly grasped the core point:

"Peaceful exchange? What tangible benefits could this bring to Blue Star?"

Her tone was filled with anticipation.

A look of excitement spread across Professor Wang Wu’s face:

"The benefits are obvious, and the potential is enormous!"

"Strictly speaking, the development of the Martial Dao on Blue Star has only just begun. Our foundation is shallow, and we’re still in the early stages of understanding the essence of power, developing Cultivation Techniques, and applying energy."

"But these Alien Race civilizations that are proactively seeking diplomatic ties are likely far ahead of us on the path of the Martial Dao, having accumulated a wealth of Experience!"

"By trading with them, it’s highly likely we could obtain more efficient and powerful Cultivation Techniques; acquire precious Pill formulas that can aid cultivation and help break through bottlenecks; and even master the core technology for forging Spiritual Weapons!"

"As long as we can obtain crucial intelligence and technology from these Alien Races, it will provide an immeasurable boost to the developmental leap of Blue Star’s entire Martial Dao community!"

He leaned forward slightly, revealing an even grander vision:

"And this is just the starting point."

"Officials already have a preliminary strategic concept in mind."

"In the future, once we’ve established sufficient trust and deep cooperation with these peace-minded Alien Races, we can absolutely select our most outstanding young Martial Dao talents to be exchange students. They could travel through the Star Gates to their worlds! There, they can systematically study and learn from their mature cultivation systems, drawing on the strengths of the Hundred Schools!"

Realization dawned on Cheng Dan, and her voice trembled with excitement:

"I see! So, while the appearance of the Star Gates brings unknown challenges, for the rapid growth of our Martial Dao civilization on Blue Star, it’s like a massive, heaven-sent dividend for our era!"

Professor Wang Wu nodded emphatically:

"Danger and opportunity always go hand in hand. The crucial thing is whether we can act fast enough to seize this fleeting chance and turn it into the cornerstone of our civilization’s rise!"

The joy on Cheng Dan’s face subsided.

Deep worry surfaced once more.

She voiced another question hanging over countless minds:

"Professor Wang, you just mentioned that the root cause for the appearance of the Star Gates is the increase in Blue Star’s Spiritual Qi concentration. And we know that the Red Moon disaster is cyclical, so Blue Star’s Spiritual Qi concentration will inevitably continue to rise in the future."

"So, as the Spiritual Qi grows richer, will the number of Star Gates on Blue Star skyrocket? And more importantly, will the access Level of these Star Gates... also rise, allowing more powerful Second Grade, Third Grade, and even higher-level terrifying life forms to cross over?"

Wang Wu’s expression instantly became incredibly grim.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded:

"Your speculation will very likely become reality."

"The higher the concentration of Spiritual Qi on Blue Star, the more likely it is that the number of Star Gates will increase exponentially. In turn, the Level of the Alien Races permitted to cross through them will also steadily rise."

"At that time... Blue Star will face truly unprecedented existential pressure. A cruel era where the weak are meat and the strong eat, where the Ten Thousand Races vie for supremacy, may descend upon us!"

His voice suddenly rose, carrying a powerful sense of urgency:

"It is precisely because we foresee this possibility that the highest echelons of leadership have initiated the unprecedented ’All-People Martial Dao Cultivation Plan’!"

"We are calling on all eligible citizens—men and women, young and old—to devote themselves to Martial Dao Cultivation!"
