Chapter 60: Xiao Family Annex

The original site of the West Lake Annex is a beautiful castle that towers nearly a hundred meters high and spans a kilometer in length and width; it looks like the legendary fairy castle, shimmering with radiant light.

A massive fountain, under the sun, reveals a rainbow.

Dozens of warriors stand around the castle, each exuding extraordinary aura.

The D3‑grade manor gifted by Starry Sky Defense Company was set up in just one afternoon with the aid of the smart system; as for the original twelve villas, they had long turned to dust.

The manor's defense was also taken over by the Stellar-level Ninth Tier warriors that Xiao Yu brought.

A blood‑red triangular fighter slowly lands on the plaza before the castle; its hatch opens, and a man and a woman, both planetary‑grade warriors wearing golden masks, are the first to exit and stand at the sides. Then a black‑haired man and a bald man follow, stepping onto the plaza.

"Brother Hong, look at those four guards on the plaza; each seems far stronger than me!" the bald man said.

"Don't be fooled by their casual stance; the moment we move, they can strike us instantly," the black‑haired man Hong said.

A blue‑purple figure flashes in the distance; the person steps onto the plaza and smiles, "Brother Hong, Lei Shen, this trip to the universe will bring back plenty of good stuff."

"Xiao Yu, your Xiao Family Annex is truly impressive! So grand," Lei Shen said enviously. "Also, where did you get these guards?"

"Brother Hong, Lei Shen, this isn't a place to talk; let's walk and chat!" Xiao Yu laughed.

He led the two toward the castle inside the manor.

"After entering the universe, I arrived at Qiu Long Star, 320,000 light‑years from Earth, where I bought these guards. They are all of one race, the Heimeng Tribe; their descendants have been slaves for generations. Though they serve as guards here, their strength is not weak—they are all Stellar-level Ninth Tier. Among them are genetic warriors and Spiritual Mind Masters," Xiao Yu explained.

"In the universe, even Stellar-level Ninth Tier can become slaves!" Hong felt a pang of sorrow.

"Not only Stellar-level, even Universe-level Ninth Tier slaves exist. My personal bodyguards Lu De Ke and Lu Ya De are Universe-level Fifth Tier warriors," Xiao Yu continued.

Hong and Lei Shen's hearts tightened further; they hadn't expected even such strong beings to be slaves.

Then Xiao Yu recounted all his observations from the universe, causing Hong and Lei Shen's jaws to nearly drop to the ground.

"I have a rough plan for the two cultivation resources I brought back; Brother Hong and Lei Shen, you can listen," Xiao Yu said. "First is Purple Light Dew, total amount three hundred thousand tons, allocated every ten years according to each nation's government situation, provided free of charge."

"Xiao Yu, you're right. Earth is truly a drop in the vast ocean of the universe—so insignificant and weak! Relying on just a few of us is nearly impossible, so we must depend on the rise of the entire race," Hong nodded.

"Next is Azure Wave Marrow, a planetary‑grade treasure with obvious effects; its total is only 100 tons. Each who becomes a councilor‑level can freely obtain five kilograms, while the rest must be bought with contribution points, which are earned only by deeds meaningful to Earth's human development," Xiao Yu continued. "My intelligent mist has already completed this contribution system; it will be sent to War God Palace shortly."

This new contribution system, detached from Extreme Martial Arts Hall, was completed after the mist's meticulous design.

"Brother Hong, Lei Shen, each of you can receive thirty kilograms of Azure Wave Marrow for free; that's definitely enough for you to cultivate to Stellar-level. I've also prepared thirty kilograms for Luo Feng; once he recovers, I'll give it to him," Xiao Yu hurried.

"Thank you!"

"Young master, your tea!" Mengbei beauty Sha Sha placed the teacup from the tray in front of Xiao Yu.

Two other Mengbei beauties also approached Hong and Lei Shen, offering each their drinks.

Huaxia Nation time, February 22, 9:00.

The Xiao Family Annex became the center of the entire Earth today; the army had long fortified the outskirts of the annex, and the surrounding streets were already under martial law.

Inside the Xiao Family Annex, the guard under Xiao Yu's command—purely Stellar-level Ninth Tier elites—each restrained their aura.

Warplanes from nations and bases worldwide landed on the annex's lawn, and the leaders of the five major powers gathered here.

Today, Earth's top warrior Xiao Yu will hold a crucial global conference here.

In the main building's first‑floor hall, beside an enormous Round Table, many enthusiastic leaders of various nations and bases stood.

Stunning Mengbei beauties moved through the crowd, delivering tasty snacks and tea drinks to guests in need.

These dignitaries were all astonished upon first seeing the Mengbei beauties.

10:00, the conference officially began.

Above the center of the massive Round Table, a three‑dimensional virtual projection materialized out of thin air—a vast star‑field projection.

"Among those present, some may know what I was doing during my month‑long disappearance, others may not," Xiao Yu began slowly. "Earlier, I boarded a fully intact starship salvaged from ruins and entered the universe."

All the leaders murmured in amazement.

"Look, everyone," Xiao Yu said, pointing at the virtual projection above the Round Table. "This is our Milky Way Galaxy, containing over two hundred thousand habitable planets. The Milky Way, Beta Galaxy and seven other major galaxies form the Azure‑Blue Empire."

The three‑dimensional projection continuously shifted with Xiao Yu's description.

All the leaders were stunned.

"Moreover, the Azure‑Blue Empire is merely a primary‑level civilization in the universe, the weakest tier."

"A nation that governs a million habitable planets is still the lowest level in the universe!" the leaders were bewildered.

Xiao Yu pointed at a planet and said, "This is a world inhabited by the human race called the Mengbei Tribe. Mengbei, the service beauties you just saw are all Mengbei; their planetary lord sells batches periodically."

"Also, the dark‑skinned guards you saw upon entry belong to the Heimeng Tribe, another slave race; generation after generation they remain slaves, even though many have reached Stellar-level, even Universe-level strength," Xiao Yu continued exposing the universe's cruelty.

"Stellar-level elites, stronger than both Hong and Lei Shen, on par with Chairman Xiao, can still be slaves," the leaders' minds were repeatedly shaken.

Thanks for the Wind‑Spirit Armor monthly ticket!!!
