Chapter 362 Reactions From The People Outside The Subspace
Meanwhile, back in Nexara.
The rest of the representatives who did not enter the subspace were glued to the live feed displayed on the devices provided by the Xu family.
The screen hovered mid-air in the central hall of the guest mansions, surrounded by smaller viewing platforms for convenience.
The atmosphere was tense but not hostile, with everyone keenly observing every word, action, and expression coming from the meeting inside the subspace.
As the meeting progressed, the expressions on their faces shifted constantly—from curiosity at the Zerg holograms to shock when the Leviathan-class mothership was shown and finally to deep contemplation when the topic of upgrading the world was introduced.
"Did you see the size of that Leviathan-class mothership?" a young heir from the Wei family muttered, his tone tinged with disbelief.
"It's the size of our old planet, for heaven's sake! And they carry entire fleets along with them!"
"You should have seen their weapons," another delegate added, her expression grim. "Bio-weapons, huh? I never imagined they could look so...horrifying."
"Yes, and they're not even fully equipped with their main forces yet," a third delegate chimed in. "Imagine what a fully operational Zerg hive could unleash. It's... unsettling."
"That's a terrifying thought."
"No kidding."
A moment of silence fell as the weight of their words sank in. No one had anticipated the Zerg to be such a fearsome threat, and it was a sobering reminder of the dangers they would face if the world was not upgraded.@@@@
"And this is only the beginning," a senior diplomat from the Feng family mused. "I wonder how many more enemies are waiting out there."
"All the more reason to upgrade the world," another diplomat commented.
And the more reasonable people could see that as the Xu family did not hide the information about the different types of Zerg or the Queen's current level of cultivation, which was not the case with the race that they were currently facing.
"Look," the man from earlier began, his tone exasperated, "all I'm saying is we can't blindly trust the Xu family. Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire
Who knows what their true intentions are? They could be using us for their own purposes. Or maybe they're just trying to gain our trust so they can manipulate us later on.
Either way, I don't think it's wise to accept everything they say without questioning it."
His words sparked another round of discussion, with some agreeing with him and others arguing against it.
Eventually, an elder of the family raised his hand, silencing the debate.
"Enough," he said firmly. "I understand your concerns, but we need to focus on the task at hand. The Zerg are a real threat, and we can't afford to waste time on baseless speculation. Let's put aside our differences and work together for the greater good."
Everyone seemed to agree with the elder, then their attention shifted toward the ways the world could evolve.
However, most of the people who were discussing this were either the younger generation or the people who were from the old world, as they had read stories where the protagonist of the novel upgrades a world.
"Do you think there will be a mission that we need to do, and the World's Will gives us an item that can upgrade the world?" said one of the old world representatives.
"Don't be ridiculous," another snorted. "Upgrading a world isn't something you can do with a single item. You need to go through a series of tasks and trials to unlock the potential of the world's will."
"Maybe, but I do not think it should be hard. I mean, look at the Xu family head's calm demeanor. Do you think he would have that if the world upgrade were hard?"
This caused everyone to pause. No one could refute his point, and the thought of completing a series of difficult tasks didn't seem so daunting anymore.
"You may have a point," a third representative said thoughtfully. "Still, I don't think it'll be easy. Well, no use guessing as it looks like Mr. Xu is going to tell us how either way."
