The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

"Later, the Interstellar Peace Corporation also helped us restore the ecosystem, and now our Earth is full of life again, just like before."

"But Interstellar Peace Corporation certainly has some small ideas and costs that you need to bear, right?"

Bai Zhi could easily guess that Interstellar Peace Company must have its own agenda.

After all, this is an interstellar behemoth, not an interstellar philanthropist. Even if it's for the sake of faith, it doesn't go to the point of wanting to extract every last drop of blood from people and turn them into a giant criminal enterprise. But capitalists are never good people.

"That's right. When the Interstellar Peace Corporation came to Earth, they told us that they could install those warp engines on Earth and find a suitable star system for us to live in."

"But the price is that after we reach the location, our Earth needs to develop according to the policies of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, and accept the company's investment, taking a 51% stake and becoming a planet under the Interstellar Peace Corporation."

"Oh, the same old trick. You can't have everything. Think it over. You can also choose not to sign."

Wu Bei shook his head. "We did not agree to this plan."

"The think tank has done a lot of analysis and they all believe that if this plan is accepted, then Earth will forever become part of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, and there will be no true freedom."

"The universe is vast, and we should have more opportunities instead of being coerced by the Interstellar Peace Corporation."

Bai Zhi gave a thumbs up, "Your think tank is very capable. In fact, it is true. Generally speaking, there is no problem with safety when a planet is assigned to the Interstellar Peace Company, but most people do not have much freedom."

"It can be said that from birth to death, everything you do is arranged by the company."

Chapter 680 Oh my god, space warrior!

"Yes, we foresaw this as well. After all, in our history, there was a small country that was controlled by a conglomerate. From birth to death, it was inseparable from that conglomerate. We will not agree to that."

"So, now that you all understand, why have we jumped to where we are now? Is the Interstellar Peace Corporation up to something?"

Wu Bei nodded. "You know the Interstellar Peace Corporation very well. When they saw that we didn't agree to the plan, they didn't bother to say anything more and instead proposed another plan."

"what's the plan?"

"The aid program provided us with many things we desperately needed, including various daily necessities and electronic products, which we couldn't refuse."

"But... those electronic products are all connected to the Star Peace Corporation's network, where the Star Peace Corporation constantly pushes their jump plan to our people, and says that our United Government is hindering people from achieving a better life."

Wu Bei sighed, "The power of public opinion is boundless. We originally wanted to control it, but as soon as we tried to control it, the people from the Interstellar Peace Corporation said they would cancel the aid. How could the people, who have become accustomed to this, be willing to accept it?"

"It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frug

"They believe that the crisis is over and they should no longer suffer as before."

"As aid intensified, the Interstellar Peace Corporation kept pushing information to everyone. Under pressure from the majority of people, our United Government had no choice but to compromise and agree to the jump plan."

"Hmm... The company played this move quite well, combining public opinion with aid, a brilliant move."

Bai Zhi didn't want to comment on the company's actions in terms of good or evil, since the company hadn't sent any star destroyers to threaten them, and the current state of the Wandering Earth wasn't caused by the company.

If you accept help from others, you must also accept the consequences; there are gains and losses in everything.

It's impossible to expect to get someone else's supplies for free. There's no such thing as a free lunch. The company isn't the father of the earth.

"Hehe, yes, right now the whole earth is in springtime and flowers are blooming, and construction is going on everywhere. Everyone feels very happy, but there's a price to pay."

"So, what's the price?"

"The price is that we are not allowed to develop industry. The company people say that the earth has been glimpsed by the Amber King, and it should be preserved in its original state rather than polluted by industry."

"They gave us an Earth development plan, saying that we should write all sorts of amazing preservation stories, and then build all sorts of things as gimmicks, while we Earthlings are just NPCs and serve the tourists well."

"A travel planet... it's not bad."

Bai Zhi touched her chin. There are quite a few planets below the company. Earth, which is ultimately used as a tourist planet, actually has residents with quite high incomes.

In the entire universe, a tourist planet can be considered a developed planet.

"If only that were the case, but not only that, we would need to repay a huge loan. For the next 300 years, everyone on Earth would only receive a wage that is enough to maintain a basic standard of living, and all the rest would be used to repay the loan."

"We came to Xianzhou because we heard that Xianzhou is a power on par with our company, and we wanted to promote Earth, especially since you are here with us."

Wu Bei said very sincerely.

"You want the Celestial Ship to interfere in Earth's and the company's affairs?"

"I can only say that the possibility is not high, after all, Earth signed that agreement itself."

Bai Zhi frowned. If she could help Earth, she wouldn't mind doing so, but how could she do it?

The agreement is clearly stated in the contract; she can't just go to the company and say the contract doesn't count, that would be a bit too ridiculous.

Even if she is the envoy, she can't act so unreasonably.

She also has to say whether it's good or bad that the company pays her a basic salary. After all, Earth's technology has no advantage in this universe and can't be exchanged for any money.

Having a minimum guarantee is already pretty good.

Many border stars are in a much worse situation than this.

"No, no, we will definitely pay back what we owe. We signed the contract ourselves, and we won't evade it. We're just here to attract some investment in Xianzhou."

"After all, the agreement does not restrict other forces from investing in Earth, and is even quite welcoming; it's just that the company has to share the profits."

“If we cannot develop industry, many things may have to be transported from other places. But with only basic wages, our people may have a hard time. We came here to find more investment and increase our people’s income.”

Wu Bei quickly explained.

“I see… In that case, I might have a way. Let’s talk about it after the martial arts ceremony. I might set up some sales points for unique weapons on Earth.”

Bai Zhi smiled. That's quite simple. Just set up sales points for the smart weapons and other related products on Earth.

As long as I can make a name for myself in this martial arts ceremony, everything will be fine.

"Really? Thank you!!"

Wu Bei became excited and immediately stood up and bowed to Bai Zhi.

"It's nothing, just a small favor. But are you sure it's alright for you to come to participate in the martial arts ceremony?"

It's not that Bai Zhi looks down on Earth, it's just that The Wandering Earth didn't have anything like destiny or power before.

Even if the Amber King's glance might have given rise to a group of people who protect their destiny, can these newcomers effectively utilize the power of their destiny to compete with people sent by so many civilizations across the universe?

"You don't need to worry about that. This time we're not looking for victory, we just want to build a reputation."

"That's true, it's good that they didn't aim too high."

Bai Zhi picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and was about to moisten her throat.

"The man next to me is our contestant this time, his code name is Wolf Warrior."

"Cough cough cough cough."

Bai Zhi coughed violently, and it took her a long time to catch her breath.

"What's it called?"

"Wolf Warrior? What are your thoughts?"

Wu Bei seemed somewhat puzzled. Wasn't the name quite good? Did it violate the taboo of the Immortal Ship?

"No...nothing..."

Bai Zhi twitched the corner of her mouth. "Holy crap, a space wolf! If there were a contestant named Leng Feng on the Immortal Ship, I would definitely arrange for him to have a good fight with this wolf."

"Is it really nothing? You can just say so. We're new here and it's normal that we don't know some of the taboos. You don't have to give us face."

"It's nothing, really nothing. It's just that the name 'War Wolf' reminded me of someone I know. It's not like I've broken any taboos or anything."

Bai Zhi's answer relieved Wu Bei; at least he hadn't violated any of the immortal ship's taboos.

Chapter 681 The Monster Who Inherited the Will of Abundance

"Damn it, I'm exhausted today. As a dignified Dragon Lord and a deputy general, I've practically become a diplomatic ambassador."

At the Dan Ding Si's house, Bai Zhi stretched lazily, then hugged Bai Lu and took a big, deep breath.

"Master Bailu's fragrance is still the best, like milk."

"Hey, what do you take me for!"

Bai Lu shifted its body uneasily, its tail brushing against Bai Zhi's face.

"Of course, she's my dearest person. Don't you think so, Master Bailu?"

"cut……"

Bai Lu pouted, but didn't argue further, letting Bai Zhi hold her like that.

Soon after, Bai Zhi began to breathe evenly and fell into a deep sleep.

When Bai Zhi opened her eyes again, she felt somewhat helpless. Compared to being in the Journey to the West world, she was tired and actually wanted to get a good night's sleep.

"What season is it now?"

Bai Zhi wanted to get up and find someone to ask if the monkey had started his pilgrimage.

But suddenly, a voice reached her ears, "Great King, you have returned?"

"The Great King?"

Bai Zhi was a little confused. Was this someone calling her?

Following the direction of the sound, Bai Zhi saw a little girl wearing green clothes.

"We are the fairies you created, don't you remember?"

Seemingly noticing Bai Zhi's confusion, the little girl in green quickly spoke up;

"A fairy consecrated by divine intervention? Wait, let me think... um... is that true?"

Bai Zhi thought about it for a moment. She realized that she had never enlightened any demons. At that time, she had not yet become the Envoy of Abundance and possessed the skill of spiritual awakening. How could she have enlightened any demons?

"Do you remember when you used your supreme power of mercy here 300 years ago? It was then that your power permeated the entire mountain, and all the trees in our forest were transformed by your power."

Seeing that Bai Zhi still couldn't remember, the little girl pursed her lips and explained softly.

"Oh, that's the one."

After the little girl's prompting, Bai Zhi remembered what had happened. She guessed that when she guided the abundant divine power to the peach tree that time, the leaked abundant power completely infected the surrounding area.

The power of abundance is itself a power imbued with immense life force, let alone the power borrowed from the God of Abundance.

That is a powerful force that can even bring an entire planet to life.

Small plants are naturally no problem.

"It seems the king has remembered."

The little girl became delighted, "Your Majesty, you have been gone for three hundred years. After we became spirits, following your abundant and compassionate will, we have spread benevolence widely in this area and have established a small country."

"Wait, a country?"

Bai Zhi rubbed her temples. "The Demon Kingdom?"

She remembered that some powerful demon kings would indeed gather together to form what is known as a demon kingdom.

But that kind of country is at best a mountain stronghold in a big mountain, and has nothing to do with a country.

Could it be that these little fairies, enlightened by the power of abundance, have also gathered together to form that kind of nation?

"Yes, the cities around here are our country, but not a demon country. We follow your abundant and compassionate will, how could we be harmful demons?"

"We have established a land of abundance, we have sheltered mankind, and we have used our special powers to improve those crops. Now we can produce more than 30 bushels of grain per mu, and many people have come to live in our country."

Angelica dahurica: ?

“They originally wanted to worship us, but we said that it was you who gave us life and gave us the idea of ​​enriching all living beings. Sister Mountain can remember your appearance best, so we carved your image in stone and placed it in the city.”

“Those people offer incense and pray to you every day, saying that you are a truly benevolent god who loves all living beings, a great god of agriculture, and a god of harvest.”

"Hehe, we are all very happy that your good name can be spread, and the more we help people, the more powerful we become."

"Although we haven't progressed as quickly as those man-eating monsters, as the fairies you've guided, we are naturally very strong, and they can't defeat us."

After listening to what the little girl had said, Bai Zhi took a deep breath and sorted it out.

She looked around and, although it was full of life, it should indeed be the tree hole where the peach pit of the peach tree was activated before.

The power of abundance gave these flowers, trees, and even mountains their own consciousness, which is to say, they became spirits in the conventional sense.

Then these little demons, who had become spirits, seemed to be infected by the power of abundance. Unlike ordinary demons, they did not always think about eating people to increase their cultivation.

Instead, they think of helping others first.
