Chapter 90: Immigration

The Guotai, after four hours of flight, returned to Earth.

On June 1, 2061, at 20:09, a pitch‑black space vessel slowly landed at the Xiao Family villa castle in the Yangzhou district of Jiangnan Base City, Huaxia Nation.

Hong and Lei Shen had already been sent home as soon as the spacecraft entered Earth.

The cabin opened, and four streams of light flew out; two of them headed straight for the security residential area inside the castle. Though called a residential area, each person's room exceeds a hundred square meters, and each room's height is over six meters.

"Third brother, this trip took nearly seven months, I'm going home to take a look first," he said as a black‑red stream of light flew toward the outside of the castle.

Another blue‑purple figure nodded, waved, and the pitch‑black space vessel vanished on the spot, then stepped toward the castle gate and entered the castle in a single step.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

Xiao Yu stepped through the main gate and saw a short figure running in the lobby, followed by two Mengbei Tribe beautiful attendants.

The short figure ran around the lobby, suddenly spotted Xiao Yu standing at the doorway, and shouted loudly, "Mom, brother is back."

He shouted and ran down the corridor.

Late at night, on the castle's top floor, in a quiet room over three hundred square meters, father Xiao Dingguo, elder uncle Xiao Guohua, third uncle Xiao Guoxuan, Xiao Ling, and Xiao Yu each sat on a red‑wood chair; beside each chair was a small square table holding tea and pastries, most of which could only be purchased in the universe.

Behind them stood two Mengbei Tribe beautiful attendants, waiting for their master's summons.

"Xiao Yu, it's so late, what brings you to us?" Uncle Xiao Guohua asked.

"Yeah, Xiao Yu, it's so late, you aren't sleeping, why call us over?" Uncle Xiao Guoxuan drank a cup of tea.

"Dad, Uncle, third uncle, although this outing was longer, the harvest was quite good. Not only did I obtain a lot of cash, but also 300 Life Planets," Xiao Yu said.

"300 Life Planets!" Xiao Ling was very surprised.

In the past two years, several members of the Xiao family had also traveled the universe, visiting planets such as Balan Star and Biyan Star, and naturally understood the value of Life Planets.

"Then what do you plan?" Father Xiao Dingguo, who knows Xiao Yu well, asked, knowing he wouldn't act without purpose.

"Although these 300 planets remain under my name, I intend to grant two of them to the accompanying Xiao Yi and Xiao Er. The remaining 298 I will treat as family assets, to be managed by the younger generation of the Xiao family," Xiao Yu smiled.

Of course, Xiao Yu will still dispatch a dedicated management team; with today's Earth population of 7 billion, finding a few thousand managerial talents isn't hard.

The others fell into contemplation after hearing this.

After a while, Father Xiao Dingguo smiled, "I think it's workable. This way, even those without cultivation talent can be assessed by the condition of the planets they manage, evaluating their managerial ability."

From now on, as this system is continuously refined, it will almost become a mandatory path for every newly‑adult Xiao family member who dislikes cultivation.

All five present were deeply concerned about the Xiao family's development; they chatted until dawn, and finally Xiao Yu transferred 40 million Cosmic Coins into the family account for daily expenses.

"Xiao Yu, recently, while you were away, the Five Great Nations each sent representatives, expressing a desire to contact the universe in reality; some even wish to immigrate to alien planets," Father Xiao Dingguo said with difficulty.

This is a human scenario: after experiencing the good side of the universe in the Virtual Universe, people naturally want to engage with it in reality.

……

News of Xiao Yu and the three returning spread quickly on Earth; on the third morning after his return, fifteen representatives arrived at Xiao Yu's home to discuss universe immigration.

In the conference room.

Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng also arrived.

"Mr. Xiao, fear cannot solve problems. We all know the universe harbors many dangers, but we cannot wait for danger to arrive before acting. The best approach is to contact other alien races early and make preparations," a female politician said.

"Yes, please understand that we have made preparations," he said.

Others also looked at the four, awaiting their decision.

Xiao Yu, Hong, Lei Shen, and Luo Feng exchanged glances, knowing this day would inevitably come; human hearts are always greedy.

"I understand everyone's thoughts and acknowledge your points," Xiao Yu said to the representatives, "I also agree with your ideas on universe immigration."

A hint of unmistakable joy flickered in the leader's eyes.

"However, I need to remind everyone."

"First, when we reach other Life Planets, I will provide these immigrants with living guarantees. But you must understand that once these immigrants leave the four planets we control, we cannot guarantee their safety."

"Second, departing Earth is easy, but returning is hard. From other Life Planets back to Earth, the travel time will be three years!"

"Third, information about Earth must be kept strictly confidential, with no leakage whatsoever."

"Any leakage of Earth information will be treated as treason against Earth and punished with death," Xiao Yu said coldly.

The four brothers now control 1,000 Life Planets, eager for more Earth immigrants, which would ease their management.

Recently, the four brothers have been continuously selecting slaves and recruiting talent.

"No problem."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

The representatives of the Five Great Nations did not expect the mission to go so smoothly.

In the following days, Xiao Yu stayed at home playing with his barely one‑year‑old younger brother; at that age, children are the most fun—they can climb trees, swim, are curious but not mischievous.

When time permitted, Xiao Yu also ordered nutrient cabins through the Virtual Cosmic Network.

"Sir, are you sure you want to purchase three sets of D‑level nutrient cabins? Even for Domain Lords, they can aid bodily repair and evolution, but as a warrior evolution cabin they only elevate a warrior's flesh to Universe‑level; higher levels require comprehension of domains and laws."

"Each D‑level nutrient cabin costs 30 billion Cosmic Coins; three sets total 90 billion Cosmic Coins."

"As for the nutrient liquid you need, one ton costs 10 billion Cosmic Coins; thirty tons total 300 billion Cosmic Coins."

One ton of this nutrient liquid is enough to create a Universe‑level being.

In the universe, becoming Apprentice level is easy; advancing from Apprentice to Planet level is aided by treasures at low cost, and moving from Planet to Star level is assisted by items like Azure‑vein Essence; advancing from Star to Universe level requires nutrient liquid.

Xiao Yu bought the nutrient cabins to raise his parents' and relatives' levels; if they cannot cultivate on their own, they can evolve to Universe‑level via the cabins, gaining a lifespan of ten eras.
