503 Talks (2)

A man with short black hair walked in with Director Zhou.

“The 13 Elders of the Black Moon civilization are already waiting inside. This way, please.” Director Zhou led the way, and Xu Jingming nodded and walked in. He glanced at the many people in the lounge in the distance.

Earth’s officials smiled, and the members of the Black Moon civilization’s diplomatic mission were extremely respectful.

Xu Jingming only glanced at them before walking in.

There were already a few people waiting in the corridor deeper in. They were all representatives of the other large countries on Earth.

“Mr. Xu.”

“Nice to finally meet you, Mr. Xu.” Everyone greeted him warmly.

Xu Jingming nodded slightly and shook hands with every one of the representatives.

“I’ll meet the 13 elders of the Black Moon civilization first,” Xu Jingming said. Then, the door opened, and he walked in.

Director Zhou and the others remained outside. This was because this meeting wasn’t a meeting between the two civilizations.

It was the 13 Elders of the Black Moon civilization who came to visit Xu Jingming.

“The 13 Elders of the Black Moon civilization are the 13 people with the highest status in the entire Black Moon civilization. I heard that there are two Origin lifeforms among them. The other 11 are either great scholars or have great authority.”

“However, they were in such a hurry to visit Mr. Xu.”

“Mr. Xu currently enjoys quite a lot of prestige in the entire Oohook Star Alliance.”

The representatives of Earth’s countries chatted in low voices as they walked to the lounge. They had been in the corridor solely to meet Xu Jingming.

…

In the meeting hall.

The 13 Elders of the Black Moon civilization stood in an orderly manner. The two Origin lifeforms led the way to welcome Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming saw this scene the moment he entered the meeting hall.

“Lord Wu Ming.” The red-brown-haired elder smiled.

“I finally get to meet you, Lord Wu Ming,” Merilun said.

Wu Ming was Xu Jingming’s code name at the Primordial Research Inst.i.tute! In the universe, people usually greeted with the alias when facing important figures instead of their real names.

“You guys came quite quickly.” Xu Jingming didn’t stand on ceremony and walked to a chair to sit down. He swept his gaze at the 13 people. “Have a seat.”

If they were guests, his att.i.tude would definitely be much better.

But the Black Moon civilization? They couldn’t be considered guests!

The 13 Elders’ hearts skipped a beat before they sat down in an orderly manner.

“When we heard that Lord Wu Ming had broken through to become an Origin lifeform, we were delighted for the Oohook Star Alliance. However, we quickly discovered… that our Black Moon civilization has some conflicts with Earth,” the red-brown-haired elder said. “In fact, the excavation of Earth’s mineral resources was spearheaded by a Lv. 8 cosmic lifeform in our Black Moon civilization, Cipolla. Captain Ennor, a member of his family, was in charge of this matter.”

Xu Jingming nodded slightly and continued listening.

With Earth’s trillions of cosmic dollars back then, it was indeed impossible for it to come to the attention of the entire Black Moon civilization. Only one family was spearheading the matter.

“In the subsequent conflict between Lunardo and Earth, he directly contacted our Black Moon civilization,” the red-brown-haired elder explained. “Our Black Moon civilization isn’t considered strong among the entire cosmic human race. We are only a basic cosmic civilization to this day! In the face of Lunardo and the threat he might pose in the future… we chose to withdraw our garrison.”

“Our intention was solely to stay in Lunardo’s good books and not get involved,” the First Elder said.

“Not get involved?” Xu Jingming looked at him. “And what do you think would’ve happened if you withdrew the garrison and isolated Earth’s civilization? Don’t tell me you can’t figure it out!”

The 13 Elders fell silent.

Yes, they had no defense.

At their level, n.o.body was a fool. Everyone knew the outcome of isolating Earth’s civilization back then.

“It was our mistake,” the First Elder said.

“We also beg for your forgiveness, Lord Wu Ming,” Merilun said.

“Elder Du Lingchen, Elder Merilun.” Xu Jingming looked at the two of them. “Both of you are Origin lifeforms like me. There’s no need to call me lord.”

Ordinary cosmic lifeforms would call an Origin lifeform ‘Lord’ due to difference in the level of life. Or perhaps those with low status would address those with higher status as lord.

“No, no, no. We’re different.” First Elder didn’t mind being embarra.s.sed. “How can we compare to Lord Wu Ming?”

Merilun also said, “Lord Wu Ming, you are aware of the entire turn of events. When we learned that you had returned to Earth, all 13 of us rushed over immediately to beg for your forgiveness. Our Black Moon civilization will be relieved as long as you forgive us.”

The other 11 Elders wore humble expressions.

They were all influential figures in the Black Moon civilization, but they had to bow their heads at this moment.

“Your choice to isolate us resulted in a s.p.a.ce pirate attack.” Xu Jingming’s expression was cold. “You should know the serious consequences of s.p.a.ce pirates plundering a weak civilization.”

In the hundred life crises he had experienced in the mysterious land’s selection, he had encountered the terrifying scene of Earth being plundered by s.p.a.ce pirates.

“Yes, we know.” The 13 Elders felt a headache.

“We are willing to pay the price in hopes of receiving Lord Wu Ming’s forgiveness,” Du Lingchen said seriously.

Xu Jingming didn’t say a word and just listened.

“First, those who spearheaded the development of Earth’s civilization will be punished. This includes Cipolla’s family and many key figures like Captain Ennor,” the First Elder continued.
