Exploring the universe and the unknown seems to have become the most frequently talked about topic by people of Earth civilization.

More and more teams have made more and more money in the process of exploring the universe, which has also made more and more people yearn for the universe.

After all, becoming rich may be the common desire of everyone.

Becoming rich means you can do whatever you want.

Including owning a planet of your own -

In fact, many people had this idea at the beginning, to become a captain of the planet and become the supreme ruler, and some people did so.

Some large companies have purchased some primitive planets with intelligent biological activities from the discoverers of civilized planets.

They soon became the "gods" in the mouths of the natives on these planets, and they were happy for a while, but only for a while.

Because they soon discovered that there was no practical significance in doing so.

These indigenous people with backward civilization and technology not only could not provide them with any valuable feedback, including labor, which was difficult to provide, but they had to continue to invest in these indigenous people.

Science, medicine, technology, and then urged them to develop technology, but after a long time, they found that they were almost standing still.

Although the lives of these natives have undergone earth-shaking changes, for the chaebols of Earth civilization who have become accustomed to the continuous explosion of technology, this is simply a matter of life!

According to the latest regulations issued by Interstellar Communication Company, once you buy a planet with life, you must take good care of it, because life is a miracle of the universe!

If a planet with life is arbitrarily interfered with and not dealt with by some companies, resulting in a mass extinction of life, then Interstellar Communication Company has the power to punish the owner of the planet.

The punishment is very heavy, and even smaller companies can go bankrupt.

If there are no intelligent creatures on this planet, you can take a laissez-faire attitude without destroying its development, but if there are intelligent life on this planet, you must do a good job of guiding it correctly.

It's like having a child. Since you bought it, you have to take care of them.

After all, perhaps countless years later, the intelligent creatures on this planet will also become a member of Earth civilization.

Smile when you buy it, and want to return it?

Running a civilization is not playing a game, where hundreds and thousands of years can be spent in constant fast forward.

In the real universe, running a civilization is a day-to-day process. There is no acceleration or skipping. Intelligent creatures will not make a leap in science and technology just because you click on a technology tree. Everything has to be done slowly.

These are very torturous, but some people have developed some business models for life planets, such as "hunting planets", where they have opened a part of the free hunting area.

In this area, countless ferocious beasts will come like a tide, allowing every participant to experience the feeling of suffocation!

Most of these beasts are cloned creatures, so they are not in the "Ecological Protection Manual". This kind of activity has caused a very good response. Every day, a large number of tourists arrive, form teams, and then begin to be surrounded and killed.

Maybe the monsters on the planet are also very strange. There are such stupid aliens...

Or develop some tourist routes to let tourists feel the original ecological environment. There are no high-rise buildings, no technological products, and even sleeping in caves.

This makes many people who are accustomed to modern life call it exciting, and they actually have good returns.

The desire of capitalists to make money drives the birth of new things. Every day when you wake up, the universe has a brand new look.

Earth Star Civilization is rapidly adapting to all this, quickly becoming like an "old-fashioned cosmic civilization", filling the surrounding space.

As the Interstellar Communication Company continues to expand to the surrounding areas, the scope that Lynch can cover is also constantly increasing. News about the sudden emergence of a new force in the Milky Way has also begun to spread in the center of the Milky Way.

Although there are some news from some remote places every once in a while, a civilization spans several light years, or a civilization begins to emerge.

But these news are actually not of much significance to the giant enterprises in the middle of the Milky Way. As long as those enterprises and civilizations do not develop to the middle of the Milky Way, there is no threat to them.

According to current observations of the Milky Way, the radius of the entire Milky Way is 40,000 light years. In the case of those low-level civilizations that have not yet developed spiritual forms and have not obtained ultra-long-distance transmission, they will not be regarded as a threat.

In this case, Earth Star Civilization is rapidly and thriving in remote areas.

Decades have passed in a flash, but for the expanding universe, it may be just a moment.

Aurora has gradually shown signs of waking up, which is something that people are looking forward to. During this period, another thing happened. Lilith's daughter is dying.

It was still the planet that Lucia once ruled. At this moment, it was as prosperous as it used to be. There were skyscrapers everywhere, and holographic advertisements could be seen everywhere.

Those giants, giants, stood above the city.

The pink neon lights illuminated the night sky, and the whole city was filled with the smell of happiness and decay.

After getting rid of Lucia's "absolute rule", they soon welcomed the world they longed for, freedom.

But then came the cruel life.

They soon began to regret that the price they paid for freedom was too high!

So high that they could no longer bear it!

They did get freedom, but how many people can really enjoy it?

Almost the vast majority of people have fallen to the bottom of society. In the era of cosmic technology with highly developed artificial intelligence, the middle class and middle-level cadres have all been replaced by artificial intelligence.

Strictly speaking, there are only three classes in this world.

The ruling class, the privileged class, and the bottom.

0.5% of the ruling class, 1% of the privileged class, and 98.5% of the bottom.

They need to pay the price for freedom. From the first breath of air they breathe every morning, they need to pay value continuously.

In order to prevent their own value from being zeroed out, they need to spend more time to maintain their own value.

Because labor is not irreplaceable, the exploitation of these workers by large companies is very extreme. If you don't want to do it, there are robots willing to do it.

If it weren't for the "carbon-based life work priority system" promoted by Interstellar Communication, there might not be a single carbon-based life on this planet with a job!

So they can't complain, they can only endure the endless exploitation, oppression, and even blackmail and extortion of capitalists.

Every month, they use the time that could have been spent feeling free to work.

Some old people suddenly began to miss the era of Lucia's "absolute rule", and began to miss the era when they only needed to do simple work every day, and then relax after working for a while.

Why were they so stupid at that time?

Why didn't they cherish such a beautiful era?

In the textbooks compiled by capitalists, "absolute rule" is described as the deprivation of people's free will by a super dictator. She enslaved all life on this planet and deprived them of everything just to please herself.

But in the hearts of some others, that was the era they once had, but disappeared before they had time to cherish and experience it, a golden age!

People miss Lucia and hope that Lucia can save this deadly world and save those refugees living at the bottom of society and in the sewers.

But it seems that Lucia can no longer hear their prayers, nor see their suffering.

After all, this is what they themselves desire.

As time goes by, Aurora is waking up on a planet outside the solar system.

Lynch has been standing here since early in the morning, and so is Lucia.

When she followed Lynch, she was destined to be immortal.

Lucia was a little nervous, and the years did not leave any traces on her.

A few years ago, Lilith's daughter died of old age at home, and she went to visit her.

When the girl saw her again, she was shocked by her youth, and many complex emotions flashed in her turbid eyes, and finally turned into a heavy sigh.

If she had not made the wrong choice, if she had not wavered, perhaps she would be a different person now.

The two of them were just chatting normally, and she talked about the life she experienced after Lucia left.

Because she had the light of life behind her, she had some privileges, and this planet also accepted many giant companies in the world, so her life was pretty good.

She was married, had a husband and children, but divorced in the end.

Her husband did not love her, but was attracted by her background and wanted to complete the class transition.

Her children were not so worry-free either, always causing trouble for her and doing stupid things.

She recalled that the happiest time in her life was when she was in the dojo and treated Lucia as her mother.

Carefree, warm, gentle, and even romantic.

At the last moment of her life, she held Lucia's hand, and Lucia stroked her hair.

She knew that as long as she spoke, Lynch would definitely help her give Lilith's daughter the chance of eternal life, but she did not speak.

There will always be some regrets in life, and she has understood this.

All the emotions in the old girl's eyes subsided at the last moment. She had already felt that the god of death was calling her.

Her eyes were free of those complicated, greedy, and jealous fluctuations, and became as pure as when she was a child.

She felt the heat from Lucia's palm and asked softly, "Can I call you mother again?"
