Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 219 Half and Half

"God" is a noun created by humans. Although Heya believes that Homo sapiens are arrogant, she is also subtly using the language system created by humans to communicate and formulate rules that humans can understand.

If we put aside the cloak of theology and faith, Duan Mingyuan feels that an existence like Heya is more like a will born from the planet itself.

Not all civilizations will give birth to theological beliefs. As early as the last century, many cosmologists proposed the hypothesis of "planetary will". They believed that the planet itself is also a brain for autonomous consciousness, and natural disasters are one of the means by which planetary consciousness regulates itself.

In the following decades of development, researchers who agreed with this theory were divided into two camps. One camp regarded "cocooning" as a process of self-healing of the planet. They believed that when certain civilizations developed to a certain stage, their over-expanded technology and ambitions became a threat to the planet itself, and thus they were regarded as viruses by the planet.

If this theory is further developed, it seems to coincide with the point of view just put forward by Heya.

But obviously, One World does not agree with this view.

The research school that proposed this theory was soon accused of crimes against humanity. Overnight, all the scholars were imprisoned in a prison on a certain planet, and it was explicitly stated that anyone who continued to engage in this research would be treated as guilty.

Duan Mingyuan remembered that the leader of the school at that time was called Eisenberg-Adler, a middle-aged man with long dry white hair, a skinny body, a hooked nose, and looked like a villain.

The photo in the Science magazine was taken before he was sent to a distant planet to serve his 761-year sentence.

Upon seeing this, the leader of another school of thought immediately issued a statement saying that "cocooning" has nothing to do with planetary consciousness, but is rather a sign that the planet is seriously ill.

This school has had a profound influence on later generations until now.

The company's interference in many civilizations has always been under the banner of "treating diseases" from the very beginning. The same is true for Blue Star. At least in the era of the First King, the company regarded the strange and weird magic bred by life energy as a sign of cancer, and they came to help the people of Blue Star treat diseases.

"Is this your warning to me?"

Duan Mingyuan asked.

Heya suddenly met him in the identity of "Cocoon", and it must have been more than just a farewell meeting to get acquainted.

The God of Trade always comes with a strong purpose.

The three of them unknowingly arrived at the lounge prepared on the sixth underground floor. Zheng Liu's brain had already shut down due to this highly impactful topic.

He lowered his head and spoke confidently:

He understands the reason, but Space Struggle is an open world game...

Duan Mingyuan and He Ya did not continue listening.

"It's more appropriate to use the word 'remind'. The word 'warning' is too aggressive. There's a saying in the business world that even if the deal fails, the friendship remains. There's no need for us to make the relationship so tense."

Heya maintained her gentle and friendly smile as always; she had already expressed enough sincerity to Duan Mingyuan.

Duan Mingyuan hoped that she would give him some face, and she did.

The lives of Zheng Liu and Xing, as well as unlimited chips that can be used in the Chamber of Commerce at any time.

The symbol "∞" means that as long as they are willing, they can quit their current jobs at any time and start a new life in Siyang City, which is like a cheat code.

"I agree."

Duan Mingyuan nodded in agreement. He always sought to resolve problems in a peaceful way. "Why don't you just speak frankly?"

"Wherever the Chamber of Commerce reaches, that is the border that my will can cover. You can understand the relationship between me and the Flash Flag Chamber of Commerce in this way."

This is why she did not kill all of the Shan people after expelling them from the Flash Star. In general, the Shan people are still a group of interesting little creatures. As long as they can put away their arrogance and not run wild on the Flash Star, they can still bring her a lot of fun.

Facts have also proved that the Shan people did not disappoint her hopes. Although they lost their homes, some of them controlled many civilizations behind the scenes in the name of the Shanqi Chamber of Commerce, while others infiltrated into the Universal Company and held high positions, which enabled them to influence the company's decision-making power to a certain extent.

These are all brought by wealth.

And doing business is the eternal means of accumulating wealth.

"That's why I can say that I know this planet very well."

Having said that, Heya raised her hand and gently touched Zheng Liu's brow. Zheng Liu, who was still muttering to himself, fell asleep on the table with a "pop".

Although Zheng Liu had been in a state of self-hypnosis, she guessed that Duan Mingyuan did not want others to know what he said next.

"But on this planet, I have never found anyone like me until something happened in the court recently and you came... Transcendence, this is what Universal Company calls troublesome characters like you, but in fact they know nothing about you."

She had heard some descriptions of the Transcendents through the Semitic descendants of the Mandala Consortium.

In her opinion, it was just boring nonsense. Even within the school that proposed this concept, there were many different opinions, and everyone had a different definition of transcendent.

To sum up, there seems to be only one useful message - do not interfere with the civilization that gave birth to the transcendents.

As for the extent of the power of the Transcendents, the company has no idea. To put it simply, it is to label people like Duan Mingyuan to prove that these people are not to be trifled with.

Heya felt that she understood the Transcendent better than the company did, especially after meeting them.

Duan Mingyuan also guessed her intention and asked, "Do you think you and I are the same kind?"

"not quite."

Heya said, not intending to hide what she was thinking, "Half of it is a familiar aura, and the other half is disgusting arrogance."

A "cocoon" with a "human" feel.

Or maybe it's a "human" with the power of "cocoon".

For a moment, Heya was unable to clearly determine Duan Mingyuan's true nature. When she looked back at Duan Mingyuan's past, she discovered that he had been so deeply influenced by humans that he looked no different from a real human being.

When you walk down the street, people won’t give you strange looks, and you don’t need to be worshipped.

But when it comes to dealing with company issues, his attitude is highly similar to that of "Cocoon".

Heya felt that perhaps even Duan Mingyuan himself did not understand this problem.

"Come to think of it, you don't like looking back at the past, and you don't seem to have carefully considered when Duan Mingyuan's life actually began."

After a brief thought, she continued, "So to confirm this, I would like to invite you to enjoy a performance with me."

"show?"

"That might also allow you to foresee what the planet will look like after it 'cocoons'."
