In the moming, Xu Jingming ate breakfast with his wife and took a stroll around the district. On the way, he bumped into his neighbors, who were very excited. After all, Xu Jingming had just become world champion last night, so they shared in the pride.

“Thankfully, we live in the suburbs, and there aren’t many residents in the neighborhood. Otherwise, we would’ve attracted attention,” Li Miaomiao said with a sigh.

“My income a few years ago wasn’t as high as it is now. For detached houses, I could only afford one in the suburbs,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “From the looks of it, it was really a wise decision.”

For example, there were many residents in the estate where his parents lived.

“Oh right, aren’t you practicing the evolutionary method today?” Li Miaomiao asked.

“I don’t need to practice for the time being,” Xu Jingming said. “I’ve also become a Perfected planetary lifeform in reality. I can’t improve for the time being.”

“Impressive!” Li Miaomiao sighed. “I wonder when my evolutionary method will be Perfected.”

“Take it slow.” Xu Jingming looked at his watch. “Let’s go. The Earth Alliance will be having a gathering in a while; I have to attend.”

Li Miaomiao nodded.

The couple took their time. After all, they had a bun in the oven. They only entered the virtual world after returning home.

‘The invited experts arrived one after another in a huge meeting room.

‘There were name placards placed on the meeting room table. Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, and Tu Ling were on one side. Miyagawa Meishin, Halu Singh, Alan Emelianenko, and the other genius experts had arrived.

“Senior Brother Xu.” Tu Ling’s eyes lit up when she saw Xu Jingming, and she greeted him respectfully.

“Tu Ling.” Xu Jingming smiled at the girl. “You reached Lv. 5 at the age of 16. Impressive.”

“Senior Brother, don’t elevate me.” Tu Ling immediately waved her hand and said, “I’ve also been learning the evolutionary method for more than ten months—the same length of time as you. However, your strength and realm are much stronger than mine. I was dumbfounded by the battle between you

and Tejano Xire. I couldn’t even withstand a single move of yours!”

“Jingming is getting more and more impressive. Even I can’t see through him.” Liu Hai smiled and sighed with emotion.

Xu Jingming smiled and looked around. “Everyone who came today is at Lv. 5?”

“It’s all the competition experts who reached Lv. 5, but Ysarova, Madeleine Logan, and Tejano haven’t arrived.” Liu Hai nodded after taking a look.

suddenly—

Tejano also appeared in the meeting room, and six other figures appeared. The latter were led by Secretary General Angus.

Tejano sat at the spot where his name placard was placed. His seat was almost in the middle of one side of the conference table, and the six officials including Secretary General Angus were on the other side.

“Alright, everyone is here.” Secretary General Angus sat down and smiled at everyone.

“Everyone is here?” Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, Miyagawa Meishin, and the others were a little puzzled. Other than the officials, everyone attending the meeting was Lv. 5, and there were only ten people!

“After the virtual world’s launch, humans around the world cultivated evolutionary methods,” Secretary General Angus said with a smile. “A total of nine Lv. 5 experts were born.”

“Nine?” Xu Jingming and the others were puzzled.

“I didn’t get it wrong—only nine Lv. 5 experts have been produced since the virtual world’s launch. You’ll understand the details in a while.” Secretary General Angus looked to his side. “Let me give a simple introduction. The five people beside me are representatives of the five council countries.”

Xu Jingming immediately saw that Director Zhou was representing China.

“Everyone has received a legacy, and you should know that beyond the Perfected planetary lifeform is the cosmic lifeform,” Secretary General Angus said. “Only cosmic lifeforms are qualified to be cosmic citizens.”

“All of you have reached Lv. 5 and will eventually become cosmic citizens, so you have the right to know the truth.” Secretary General Angus smiled and said, “All of this began when humans first landed on Mars in 2036.”

Huh? Xu Jingming, Liu Hai, and the others jolted. The truth?

“When we humans first landed on Mars and explored it, we later discovered civilization ruins on Mars,” Secretary General Angus said. “Accompanying the discovery, there was a stir to excavate Mars. Back then, the competition between countries was very intense, and they wanted to seize more of the

ancient civilization ruins.”

“Later on, we discovered the damaged spaceship. It had crashed more than a million years ago yet remained brand new,” Secretary General Angus said, and the projection of the broken spaceship appeared in front of him. “When we were exploring this spaceship, we discovered the VR room. During the

search, humans logged into the virtual world. It was also because of this that… the Cosmic Human Alliance discovered us and Earth’s civilization.”

Secretary General Angus said, “The universe is very vast, but there are very few inhabited planets. There are countless planets, and it’s rare for one to be suitable for human survival. Our homeworld, Earth, is too small in the universe. It has never been noticed; it has always been considered an ordinary,

uninhabited planet in the cosmic star map.”

“However, the moment we connected to the virtual world network, we were discovered.” Secretary General Angus sighed. “Thankfully, we had already stepped out of our own planet and started exploring other planets. We were recognized as a cosmic civilization. Although we are the most basic cosmic

civilization, we’re still protected by the entire Cosmic Human Alliance.”

“If we still hadn’t left our planet when Earth was discovered, we would’ve been categorized as a native civilization! We won’t be qualified to join the Cosmic Human Alliance. We will only be taken over by powerful cosmic civilizations and managed according to the rules and regulations of powerful

civilizations, Our fate would’ve been much more miserable.”

Xu Jingming and the others were stunned.

They were almost categorized as a native civilization? What would the world’s humans become if they were categorized as a native civilization?

“The Cosmic Human Alliance is the alliance of all human civilizations in the vast universe,” Secretary General Angus said. “There are also many human civilizations in the entire universe. Therefore, powerful civilizations are in charge of taking over and modifying those barbaric and backward native

planets. The Cosmic Human Alliance’s strength is limited, so it’s impossible to support every weak native civilization.”

“As an emerging cosmic civilization, Earth’s civilization is protected by the Cosmic Human Alliance for ten cosmic years! In Earth years, that’s about 32 years,” Secretary General Angus said.

“We officially joined the Cosmic Human Alliance in 2051 and started coming into contact with a lot of information and intelligence,” Secretary General Angus said.

“With enough information, we began holding the first World Martial Arts Tournament in 2052,” Secretary General Angus explained. “We began promoting martial arts in every aspect to prepare the soil of martial arts on Earth.”

“We only have 32 years of protection,” Secretary General Angus said. “Once the protection expires, we need to engage in normal trade and normal communication with other cosmic civilizations. This trade and communication are all done according to the Cosmic Human Alliance’s rules. Everything follows

the rules.”

“Although we are talking about the abiding by rules, everyone can guess the outcome of a weak civilization trading with a powerful civilization under the same rules.

“A powerful civilization will use the rules appropriately and squeeze weak civilizations dry,” Secretary General Angus said calmly. “A weak civilization will end up forever weak! They can only submissively provide resources and everything they can provide. As for a powerful civilization, they will leave the

scraps to weak civilizations…”

“To obtain true fairness; to not be squeezed dry—the only way is to be strong,” Secretary General Angus said. “Only by being strong enough will you not be bullied.”
