Swallowed Star: Copy God

Inside Hong's reception room, Ye Yun put down his teacup and, watching the conclusion of the announcement conference on the screen, smiled and said to Hong,

"The current Earth Alliance was indeed forcibly created due to our absolute strength. They won't be completely harmonious in a short time, and they will have their own little thoughts at the bottom of their hearts.

However, this is just the beginning. As time goes by, I believe they will all be able to discover the benefits of integrating together. After years of running-in, the Earth Alliance will become a community of shared interests for everyone, and then we won't need to worry about it."

Hong nodded. He could also imagine the future that Ye Yun described. Moreover, as long as Ye Yun was suppressing things from behind the scenes, he wasn't afraid of any accidents. Hong looked at Zhuge Tao, who was walking off the stage on the screen, and said softly,

"I'm not too worried about the development of the Earth Alliance, but are you sure there are no problems with the choice of this person in charge, Ye Yun? I also know this Zhuge Tao. He was originally a director of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo in the Jiangnan Base City of China. His older brother is a God of War, so he was considered pretty good within the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, but suddenly taking on such an important position, won't that be a bit inappropriate?"

Ye Yun chuckled softly, but didn't voice his thoughts.

Zhuge Tao's great name resounded throughout the myriad realms. He possessed a powerful secret technique for identifying geniuses. Such an outstanding talent, wouldn't it be a huge waste not to let him use his abilities?

"Brother Hong, I understand Director Zhuge better than you do. Over the years, he has come into contact with and helped many outstanding younger generations with talent. Luo Feng and I are both members of that group. It can be said that his vision is extremely accurate.

The main thing I want him to focus on as the person in charge of the Earth Alliance is the cultivation of future martial artists. I believe that with Director Zhuge leading the way, Earth's future development will definitely be stronger with each generation!"

After listening to Ye Yun's description, Hong was a little surprised. He didn't expect Zhuge Tao to have such abilities, to have discovered the talents of Ye Yun and Luo Feng so early on. Immediately, he no longer had any doubts, and continued to discuss the future development direction of the Earth Alliance with Ye Yun.

Zhuge Tao returned to his exclusive lounge. The large room was very empty, with only a few sofas and a coffee table. A blue-clothed man was lounging on one of the sofas. Seeing Zhuge Tao enter, he didn't show the slightest respect for the 'Person in Charge of the Earth Alliance' and said with a smile,

"Zhuge, not bad on the stage! Here, this is what Ye Yun asked me to give you. We still have three days of leisure time. After these three days, we'll be busy!"

Zhuge Tao's face twitched involuntarily. The aura of a director that he had cultivated over the years almost broke down. Thinking that he would have to work with the man in front of him in the future, Zhuge Tao sighed in his heart, but still said in a deep voice,

"Thank you, Councilor Gu!"

On the glass coffee table, there was an open box. Inside the box were two emerald green crystals and five white crystals, containing the fragrance of rice. Just taking a light sniff, Zhuge Tao felt that his bottleneck, which had been stuck at the advanced warrior level for many years, had loosened slightly.

Gu Ye got up slightly and said lazily,

"Zhuge, these green crystals are the spirits of plants and trees, 'Thousand-Year Willow Heart'. If you drink the fluid from one of them, breaking through to the God of War level shouldn't be too difficult. After persistent training, drinking the fluid from the other Thousand-Year Willow Heart will be enough to guarantee you a smooth promotion to the advanced God of War level!

As for these five white crystals, I'll tell you what they're for after you reach the advanced God of War level!"

Gu Ye's casual words set off a huge wave in Zhuge Tao's heart. The excitement and joy that these things brought him were even stronger than becoming the person in charge of the Earth Alliance. Being stuck at the advanced warrior level for many years without making any progress had always been Zhuge Tao's regret and knot in his heart, but now it was easily solved. In addition to his excitement, Zhuge Tao also felt a trace of luck and pride.

Having a God of War older brother allowed him to become the director of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo in Jiangnan Base City, one of the four giants. He already had considerable power, but Zhuge Tao was not satisfied with this. Instead, he actively cultivated younger generations and provided some appropriate help. His efforts over the years had finally paid off.

Zhuge Tao also sat down gently on the sofa, saying with emotion and sigh,

"Who would have thought that the boy back then would have reached such a height! Since Ye Yun trusts me and entrusts us with this important task, Councilor Gu, we can't let him down!"

Gu Ye also restrained himself a little, revealing an expression of deep agreement, and nodded gently, saying,

"Yes! I knew he was a hidden dragon, but I didn't expect him to soar into the sky so quickly! Ye Yun told me his ideas. He is indeed ahead of everyone else. Zhuge, we must work together in the future and not let Ye Yun's hard work be in vain!"

Ye Yun and Hong discussed for more than an hour, roughly determining the short-term development direction and long-term future blueprint of the Earth Alliance. In the end, Hong was a little doubtful and said in a low voice,

"Ye Yun, are you sure you want to start the Earth's global evolution plan? That requires a large amount of resources such as Purple Light Dew. Supplying it on a global scale requires huge financial support. Are you really okay?

In the past two days, Hong had used the anonymous consciousness sensor of the virtual universe that Ye Yun had brought back to enter the virtual universe network. He had a better understanding of some basic situations. According to his estimation, the amount of money spent on the first phase of Ye Yun's plan was extremely large, and there were also subsequent continuous expenses. Hong really couldn't imagine how Ye Yun, a star-level person, could support such a large expense.

Ye Yun said in a deep voice,

"Brother Hong, the genetic level of Earth's people is now so low that adults can't even reach the apprentice level. The overall genetic optimization of Earth is naturally better the sooner the better. After the first phase of the plan is completed, the subsequent investment will be less, forming a virtuous cycle of more outstanding offspring, and we will achieve our plan.

As for the funding problem, Brother Hong, don't worry. I won't bite off more than I can chew. I have finalized these ideas after careful consideration, and there won't be any problems!"

Seeing Ye Yun's confident appearance, Hong didn't ask any more questions. The auxiliary optical brain on his hand sent a reminder. After Hong checked it, he said softly, his tone a little strange,

"Ye Yun, the Li Lanqing you were looking for has been brought over. You didn't answer me just now, why did you suddenly want to find her?"

Looking at the gossip in Hong's stern face, Ye Yun was a little helpless and said with a smile,

"Brother Hong, don't worry, I won't do anything to her. I just need to confirm something!"

Hong shook his head gently, got up and opened the door of the reception room. A confused Li Lanqing walked in slowly. Hong looked back at Ye Yun, and then quietly left, leaving Li Lanqing and Ye Yun staring at each other in the room.

Ye Yun pointed to the cushion in front of him and said with a smile,

"Long time no see, sit down!"

Li Lanqing still had short hair. Facing Ye Yun, whom she hadn't seen for more than two years, Li Lanqing's face was full of curiosity, but there was also a hint of fear.

"Ye Yun, no, Councilor Ye, I don't know what you want me for?"

Ye Yun opened his mouth slightly and said with a gentle smile,

"You don't have to be nervous! I don't have anything special to ask you this time. Just think of it as old friends chatting and reminiscing. Your grandfather helped me once back then, and I haven't thanked you properly yet!"

Under Ye Yun's guidance, Li Lanqing gradually relaxed. Although she still didn't know Ye Yun's purpose in finding her, Li Lanqing was simple-minded and didn't take it to heart anymore, and started chatting with Ye Yun.

While Ye Yun was chatting with Li Lanqing, he asked Momo Yu to conduct a comprehensive exploration and scan of Li Lanqing. After more than twenty minutes, Momo Yu's voice sounded in Ye Yun's heart,

"Dad, nothing special was found. The human female in front of you is very normal, with a strength of the sixth level of apprentice, and a 5% chance of advancing to the planet level."

Ye Yun had already expected this result, but he was still a little disappointed after scanning. Ye Yun still didn't think he was wrong. Li Lanqing looked exactly like Rochea from the Culong Star, and there must be a huge secret hidden behind her.

Ye Yun pondered for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. The Copying Eye was activated, scanning Li Lanqing, who was smiling and talking in front of him.

After scanning, Ye Yun suddenly felt extremely strange. When he activated the Copying Eye on other people before, he would scan their talents, experience, insights, and other things, and then start choosing to copy. However, when facing Li Lanqing, there was no reaction at all at first, as if Li Lanqing in front of him didn't exist at all.

After maintaining it for ten seconds, Ye Yun suddenly felt a 0.01% progress bar appear in his sea of consciousness, followed by a familiar feeling of pain. Ye Yun was shocked and decisively stopped the scanning of the Copying Eye. However, in that instant, Ye Yun's sea of consciousness had already suffered a slight injury, and his face turned pale.

Li Lanqing noticed Ye Yun's sudden change and quickly said,

"Ye Yun, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Yun waved his hand, took a deep look at Li Lanqing, and said in a low voice,

"I'm fine! Let's stop here today. After you go back, please say hello to your grandfather for me!"
