Chapter 714: Chapter 346 Ark Project (Two in One)_2
“How should we handle the owners of the Myriad Divine Power Armies in other star systems? They deserted us in our crucial moment. We shouldn’t let them get away with it.”
“These Myriad Divine Power Armies no longer pose a threat in the eyes of the Solar System. Regardless of whether we make them suffer, they will not end well. Just leave them be.”
The high-ranking officials of the Yongming Star System seemed to have accepted this as well.
At this time, the three Alliance Hierarchs of the Solar System received a message from a long-silent Heavenly Dao group chat. The initiators were the highest commanders of the Yongming Star System.
“Three Alliance Hierarchs of the Solar System, congratulations on your final victory. After many years of conflict, we never imagined that you would ultimately triumph.”
Upon reading this message, Jiang Yun and the others exchanged smiles. They indeed had never imagined that they would see the day when the Solar System would triumph over the Yongming Star System, and now, the reactivation of this group chat felt like ages had passed.
The other party continued, “Does our previous Ark plan still stand?”
The Ark plan was known only to the highest commanders of the two star systems. It was proposed by the Yongming Star System when the group chat was first established, a proposition that was quite surprising to Jiang Yun and his peers at the time. The Yongming Star System, confident of their impending victory, initiated this group chat and left the Ark plan to the three Alliance Hierarchs of the Solar System. After that, the chat remained inactive.
The so-called Ark plan would allow a hundred children from the Solar System to receive the Yongming Star System’s Stars Citizenship Conversion Card and change their citizenship to the Yongming Star System, provided these children were too young to understand worldly affairs, held no hatred towards the Yongming Star System, and were merely intended to continue their Solar System lineage. The proposition of this plan was a sign of the victor’s mercy towards the vanquished. In a war of racial annihilation, the competition must be ruthless until the very end. However, once victory was determined, they could show a final act of kindness.
When the Yongming Star System proposed the Ark plan, although Jiang Yun and the others were uncomfortable, if the Solar System truly reached a dead end, they would have had to accept the plan. But who would have thought that the Ark plan, which the Solar System didn’t need, would now be something the Yongming Star System might need? The Yongming Star System had proposed this plan unilaterally, never thinking that they would fail. The three Alliance Hierarchs of the Solar System had never mentioned applying the Ark plan if the Yongming Star System were to fail. Therefore, when the higher-ups of the Yongming Star System reactivated the group chat and asked if the Ark plan was still valid, they truly felt uncertain.
At this moment, Jiang Yun and the others fell silent. The Yongming Star System had clearly stated that only the high-level officials of the star system would know about this plan. The personnel whose citizenship had been changed would be secretly integrated into the other star system. No one else would know about it, preventing discrimination and oppression. If they agreed to this plan, the Solar System would obviously have to respond in kind to maintain decorum.
However, the Yongming Star System, in its heyday, had never really suffered much at the hands of the Solar System or lost many of its people. The ordinary people of the Yongming Star System bore little animosity towards the Solar System, making them more accepting. However, the Yongming Star System invaded the Solar System, assassinated, destroyed, and even massacred pregnant women and children to maximize their chances of victory, all because they perceived Chen Mo’s emergence as an immense crisis. These actions were absolutely unforgivable in the eyes of Earthlings. Accepting the last descendants of the Yongming Star System would not be easy.
The three Alliance Hierarchs, as the highest commanders of Earth, could not simply act on impulse like ordinary people. Seeing the other party’s words, the three of them fell deep in thought. Since the other party offered them this plan, should they reciprocate?Although it seemed they would only be accepting a hundred naive children, it was a difficult decision to make.
“What do you both think?” Jiang Yun looked at the two by his side.
“While it is important to remember our grudges, since they gave us this plan first, regardless of their initial mental state, at the very least they provided the Solar System with a thread of survival. We can consider giving them a chance at life too. Since they have already been defeated and their entire star system will eventually fall, these inexperienced children, even if they understand what happened, won’t be able to stir up much trouble in the future. I believe it’s feasible.”
“They only proposed it back then; it’s still unknown whether they would actually have implemented it if they had won. We don’t really have to take their words too seriously. But from a personal standpoint, this Ark Plan is indeed very humane. However, if this matter was made public, the general public would definitely be unable to accept it,” Belinda looked ahead and said. Thinking about how so many people on Earth had died, one after another, for this final victory… She herself had checked the death lists several times, her heart filled with such resentment that she wished to grind the entire Yongming Star System to dust.
Now that victory was within reach, her mindset was indeed not as extreme as before.
Seeing that both of them had agreeable attitudes, Jiang Yun finally gave a nod after some consideration, agreeing to this plan. He was from China. The miseries China had suffered in its early days, before the new era, were still too painful to recall.Such choices, in his view, had appeared more than once in history.Since they had been willing to offer a lifeline before, now that he held the power, he could also give them a chance.
“Fine, but the personnel must be selected by us personally entering your star system.”
With Jiang Yun’s response, the high-ranking officials of the Yongming Star System, who had been anxiously waiting, finally let out a sigh of relief. Under their leadership, the Yongming Star System had not managed to prevail, and they felt a deep sense of guilt towards their entire star system. Preserving even a faint flicker of the Yongming Star System’s lineage meant they had done their utmost.
What Jiang Yun meant by personally sending someone was not sending someone else, but himself. Even though the Yongming Star System’s current demeanor suggested they wouldn’t cause further harm, one couldn’t rule out the possibility of them acting irrationally out of desperation. Since he had agreed to this, he had to shoulder this potential risk himself.
“Alright, your Teleportation Array is not damaged, you can directly teleport people over.”
The Yongming Star System could teleport to the Solar System, so naturally, the Solar System could also teleport to the Yongming Star System. The Teleport Portal from the Solar System to the Yongming Star System was closely guarded by the Yongming Star System, making it difficult to discreetly infiltrate their territory. Coupled with the Solar System’s own manpower shortage, they had not attempted to send personnel to the Yongming Star System. The key point was that the other party controlled three star systems; even if the Solar System tried to cause trouble, they could not effectively disrupt all of them.
At this moment, within their Divine Domains, the Yongming Star System had withdrawn all its personnel back to the Base of the Tower, leaving their various Divine Domains effectively undefended. And the ten highest managers of the Yongming Star System had, at this time, gathered above a certain forest on Sirius, the main star of the Yongming Star System. The Yongming Star System constantly monitored their Teleportation Array and could instantly locate anyone arriving, which was why the Solar System had refrained from sending personnel.
Belinda and Markus originally did not agree to let Jiang Yun take the risk, but in the end, they were persuaded by Jiang Yun to let him teleport to the Yongming Star System. According to Jiang Yun, this final task must be completed by one of the three Alliance Hierarchs; it didn’t matter who it was. But currently, the three Alliance Hierarchs were selected intentionally, one from each of three different human ethnicities. Losing any one of them would require considerable discussion and screening to fill the vacancy, which would prove troublesome. However, if something were to happen to Jiang Yun, with Chen Mo’s unique status, he could directly replace Jiang Yun without anyone feeling it was inappropriate.This would indeed avoid a lot of trouble, so he was the most suitable candidate.
With this reasoning, Belinda and Markus naturally had nothing to say.
