Chapter 1042: Chapter 1035: Universal Values
"It’s like this," Luo’er gently coughed and then said to Feron, "First off, let’s clarify the purpose of our headquarters in Otherworld. We do not lightly interfere with the order of this world, but we prefer to emphasize equality. Whether they are half-blood or pure-blood, whether they belong to the Human Race or other tribes, whether they come from Western Continent or East Continent, everyone can enjoy the same equal treatment. This has always been our purpose."
"Based on this consistent philosophy, we have leased an area from Lipei to the Church Court as a pilot zone for constructing an equal and harmonious civilization in this world. Everyone is very welcome to join, regardless of whether they are of the Human Race or other tribes, whether pure-blood or mixed-blood."
"Chief, we are now preparing to open the Otherworld Gate in Lipei to connect to Earth, to our nation. Once successful, we will begin our pilot experiment to promote our civilization ideals. If the Chief has any plans to relocate, I would be happy to submit an application to headquarters on your behalf. Once approved, you can move directly to live near Lipei under the jurisdiction of headquarters, without any oppression or discrimination. What do you think?"
"This..." Upon hearing Luo’er’s words, Feron’s eyes widened as if he was more shocked than confused. It took him a while to cautiously ask, "Isn’t this, the legendary Utopia?"
"Heh, it can hardly be called Utopia, it’s just that our ideology is somewhat more advanced," Luo’er said with a wave of his hand and a smile.
"Then, what would we have to give up if we went there?" Feron asked with a slight tremble in his voice.
"Hmm," Luo’er pondered before responding, "There would be a cost. As villagers of Lipei, headquarters would have the right to govern you, including your healthcare, education, as well as military service, etc., all subject to our jurisdiction. Your children must receive education upon reaching the legal age. Of course, we will not advocate for a slavish education; you should retain your own culture, which we will not strip away. Our main goal is to impart advanced cultural ideas, ensuring that your descendants firmly accept principles of equality and harmony."
"That, that’s hardly a cost..." Feron seemed unable to believe his own ears.
"Frankly, this could be seen as a cost or a benefit; it all depends on how you and the people of this world view it. This is no sinister scheme; it is an overt strategy. We aim to spread advanced cultural ideas to the world through your direct experiences, changing this backward feudal era. If you decide to join, you will become pioneers in this cultural revolution. Perhaps that is the cost you have to pay..." Luo’er explained.
"If that’s the case, then naturally, we have no right to refuse. Captain Luo, I agree to your terms, no, no, no, we should be asking you, please let my clansmen relocate to Lipei," Feron said somewhat incoherently.
"Calm down, Chief Feron," Luo’er gestured to Cheng Ziang to hold him back and then continued, "This is a big decision and requires the agreement of the entire village. The chief cannot make such a decision alone."
"I am the leader of the village, and I naturally have the right and the responsibility to move my people to a better place to live," Feron said excitedly.
"We emphasize Democratic Centralism, Chief Feron. For such a significant decision, even if we do not need the consent of every villager, we still need to inform them and listen to their opinions. This has always been our practice. If you are to move, you might also have to get used to this approach."
"Then, well, I’ll convene my clansmen to discuss and give Captain Luo a definite response," Feron said, pausing for a good while before finally nodding and speaking tentatively.
"There’s no need to rush, Chief Feron. We will be here in the village for a while longer, so there will be plenty of opportunities for discussion. Once it’s decided, we will arrange for your departure as soon as possible. But..."
At this point, Luo’er coughed softly and continued, "Lipei is currently still under construction, so if you do move there, you might have to put in some hard work, maybe even build your own homes."
"Captain Luo, what are you saying? To build one’s homeland with one’s own hands—that’s only natural, isn’t it?" Feron said, spreading his hands.
"That’s good to hear." Luo’er nodded lightly and then looked at Cheng Ziang who gave him a knowing glance, which made Luo’er pause, but he quickly understood what was conveyed.
"Right, there’s another thing." Luo’er paused for a moment, then spoke with some hesitation.
"Captain Luo’er, if you have anything else to ask, feel free to ask. There’s no need to hesitate," Feron said, noticing Luo’er’s reluctance.
"It’s like this," Luo’er sighed softly and then continued, "I should start by stating the facts clearly. One important reason why we have the confidence to apply on your behalf is that you come from the East Continent. The headquarters is very interested in the East Continent, hence we hope that Chief Feron and all the villagers could assist us with our research, providing us with a clear understanding of the East Continent."
"Are your organization planning to go to the East Continent?" Feron asked, puzzled.
"Er, no, no, no, we just want to understand it. After all, in these past thirty-plus years, we Earthlings have been active mainly in the West Continent, and our knowledge of this world is still limited. Therefore, we hope to expand our horizons and observe the customs and cultures of other continents. This falls within the scope of scientific exploration," explained Luo’er.
"If it’s that your organization wants to understand the East Continent, then naturally, there’s no problem. Feel free to ask us anything you don’t understand—whatever we know, we will share," Feron said, then paused hesitantly.
"Just what?" Luo’er asked.
"Captain Luo’er," Feron sighed and shook his head slightly, "I believe we have already told you about our origins. The human race of the East Continent is incredibly powerful, and after so many years, they must have taken control of the entire East Continent by now. They have countless Kunzhou warships. If it’s just out of curiosity, please don’t attempt to go to the East Continent. The humans will surely drive you away."
"Ha-ha," Luo’er chuckled upon hearing Feron’s concern, then reassured him, "Chief Feron, rest assured, we know our limits."
"That’s good, that’s good. I wouldn’t want you to suffer slaughter by the East Continent Clan out of curiosity. They never tolerate any dissent," Feron sighed.
"So, Chief," Luo’er cleared his throat and asked solemnly, "about the East Continent... how did you come to this continent in the first place?"
"As I mentioned before, we came by Kunzhou, and after several moves around this continent, we finally settled here," Feron shook his head.
"Then, the Kunzhou you rode, where did it go afterward, did it fly away?" Luo’er asked.
"No, no, no, once the Overturning Beast becomes a Kunzhou, it remains a Kunzhou for life. They don’t easily leave their masters," Feron said, sighing once again.
"So, the Kunzhou..." Luo’er hesitated to ask.
"Sigh," Feron sighed deeply again, then continued, "As my ancestors told it, the Kunzhou broke through the human race’s aerial fleet’s blockade in a desperate escape, and when it brought our forefathers here, it was on its last breath. After putting everyone down on the ground, it wobbled away and probably died..."
"Died..." Hearing this news, Luo’er frowned in disappointment and couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
In such circumstances, even if the Overturning Beast hadn’t died, it probably wouldn’t have lived for more than a few hundred years, but Luo’er was curious, if the Overturning Beast did die on the West Continent, could its remains be found? Because he was indeed curious as to how large, as the sovereign of the skies, the Overturning Beast truly was.
