Chapter 1086

Eleven projections were cast one after another into the Supreme Council Hall, surrounding the round table, waiting for the convener of this meeting to appear.

One of the members tapped the table impatiently: "Old Gao summoned us here for an emergency meeting, so why is he the one who's late? Isn't he always the first to arrive at every meeting?"

His name was Wang Jinglong, and he was the helmsman of the Wang financial group; the Murong Group was merely one of his many subordinates.

"Did he tell you the purpose of this meeting? Did he calculate the reason for the Sagittarius star system's sun explosion?"

The people of the Sagittarius star system had temporarily relocated to the Eternal star system, and the financial groups under his command were all complaining to him, saying how heavy the losses from this relocation were, asking when the Alliance would move the people back.

"Chairman, do you know?"

The Chairman was a middle-aged man in sturdy attire who managed all the Alliance's armies and held immense prestige within the Alliance.

"He said it had to do with aiding a backward civilization, but he didn't tell me the details."

"Aiding a backward civilization? Hasn't the matter of Tianhai Star already ended?" Wang Jinglong was left feeling confused by the Chairman.

"My apologies, everyone. Debugging the projection equipment took longer than estimated."

The projection device lit up, and Dean Gao arrived fashionably late.

However, it wasn't just his figure that appeared this time; there was also an extraterrestrial visitor.

Seeing an outsider appear, Wang Jinglong looked displeased: "Old Gao, what is the meaning of this? This is the Supreme Council.

Why did you bring an outsider?"

"This is the person you wanted to see."

Only then did everyone see the appearance of the thirteenth person, and their pupils shrank.

It was that extraterrestrial named Lu Yang!

The Chairman was also shocked. Since the establishment of the Supreme Council, no outsider had ever participated in this meeting.

Even candidate members didn't have this qualification!

"Hello everyone, my name is Lu Yang. I heard you wanted to see me, so I came." Lu Yang acted as if he didn't see the reactions of the crowd, smiling and greeting the eleven people in power, very politely.

"You are that extraterrestrial?" After learning Lu Yang's identity, everyone immediately became interested.

The Alliance could be called a hegemon in the universe. These eleven supreme authorities ruled the Alliance, knew countless secrets, and perceived the truth; there were very few existences in the world that could attract their attention anymore.

Lu Yang was that exception.

It made sense that Lu Yang was brought by Dean Gao; it must have been Dean Gao who found Lu Yang through the Aether computer.

"If possible, I would prefer you to call me a cultivator, rather than an extraterrestrial."

"Cultivator?" Everyone pondered this term and even searched for it using their smart brains, but they had never heard of this word.

"Cultivators are a bit troublesome to explain. You can simply understand it as us using a relatively special power to make ourselves stronger."

"We call this special power spiritual energy, and spirit stones store a large amount of spiritual energy."

As he spoke, Lu Yang flipped his hand and took out a spirit stone, scanning and analyzing the spirit stone's structure, and projecting it to the Supreme Council.

"This is a spirit stone?"

Everyone had never seen a similar structure. They had thought that since they traversed the universe and enjoyed boundless territories, they had seen all kinds of cosmic materials, but they didn't expect there to be natural materials they hadn't discovered.

"There are many spirit stones in my world, and we all use spirit stones to cultivate."

"As for the name of the civilization behind me, hmm." When it came to the name of his civilization, Lu Yang hesitated for a moment, "Let's call it the Cultivation Realm for now. If there is an official name later, we will change it."

"For now?" The Chairman noticed the information behind Lu Yang's wording.

"Mr. Lu, has the Cultivation Realm behind you perhaps never had contact with other civilizations?"

Only a civilization that had never had contact with other civilizations would find itself in a situation where it hadn't even named itself.

Lu Yang was prompted by the Chairman: "To tell you the truth, our Cultivation Realm only recently became able to reach the universe. Before this, our Cultivation Realm didn't even know what the universe looked like."

The Supreme Council members were all stunned upon hearing this. Having just stepped into the universe, this Cultivation Realm was far too backward.

"Mr. Lu, then that covered boat of yours is quite impressive. It seems it can travel through wormholes and perform spatial jumps." Wang Jinglong stared at Lu Yang suspiciously. How could a civilization with such methods have just stepped into the universe?

"Oh, you mean that boat? That was also just researched. Before, our Cultivation Realm didn't have this thing."

Lu Yang was frank and told them everything he knew. This attitude instead made Wang Jinglong feel that he was too suspicious and that it was detrimental to the Alliance's image.

Wang Jinglong couldn't suppress his curiosity, and there was one last question: "I see that Mr. Lu has extraordinary methods,

able to deal with the fierce beasts on Tianhai Star and stop bullets. How are these things done?"

"That would take three days and three nights to explain clearly."

This was the truth. To explain these methods, one would need to explain the cultivation system from beginning to end to the Supreme Council members. They had no prior contact with cultivation and were at zero foundation, making it even harder to explain.

"You can understand it as these being methods that cultivators can only possess after perceiving the heavens and the earth."

Perceiving the heavens and the earth? Wang Jinglong was puzzled. How long had it been since he heard such vocabulary? It sounded like only those ignorant and backward civilizations that believed in heaven and earth, relied on the weather for food, and were in the agricultural era would say such words.

"I know what Mr. Wang is thinking. Our Cultivation Realm is indeed relatively backward, so I would like to invite the Alliance to send some people, just like with Tianhai Star, to provide aid to our Cultivation Realm and give us technical support. It doesn't have to be too troublesome; just sending a few people over will do."

The members looked at each other, not expecting Lu Yang to make this request.

However, the request Lu Yang made was reasonable, and the requirements were not high—just sending a few people over.

The thing the Alliance lacked the least was people.

"May I ask Mr. Lu, can you tell us the location of the Cultivation Realm?"

Lu Yang nodded; this was simple: "I'll trouble Dean Gao to pull up a star map."

"Aether, pull up the star map."

A star map, the most comprehensive one known to the Alliance, was presented before everyone, with the Alliance at the very center.

This star map was larger than the one Lu Yang had seen in the library, but it still didn't include the location of the Cultivation Realm. He had no choice but to mark the Cultivation Realm outside the star map: "It's roughly here."

"Mr. Lu, this matter still requires our discussion and decision." The Chairman said, having made up his mind,

but no matter what, he couldn't make the decision in front of Lu Yang.

"Alright." Lu Yang tactfully withdrew from the Supreme Council.

After Lu Yang left, the Chairman closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then asked: "What do you all think?"

"I don't think there's any problem. He doesn't seem to be lying." One of the members said.

"I have no objections." Wang Jinglong said.

"Old Gao, what do you think?"

"Shall we ask Aether?" Dean Gao said.

"That's right, this matter should indeed be asked of Aether."

"Aether, regarding Mr. Lu Yang's proposal, hoping that the Alliance will send people to aid the Cultivation Realm, what is your view?"

Aether quickly gave its answer:

"Send me."
