Actually, Breaking Ball Wang Hu had previously submitted a document to the upper echelons at the Gabon experimental base.
Of course, one could easily imagine how much Breaking Ball Wang Hu had concealed in that document.
It wasn't that he distrusted the UEG leadership of the Breaking Ball World, but rather he was guarding against MOSS hidden within the network world.
Even now, when Breaking Ball Wang Hu explains matters related to the Homeworld and various parallel worlds,
He still can't help but sneak glances at the box containing parts of the MOSS program.
"So that's how it is. This world is truly marvelous."
After listening to all of Breaking Ball Wang Hu's explanation, Mr. Zhou appropriately expressed his amazement.
Only at this moment did he finally fully understand the complete context.
A rare commodity worth hoarding!
The first thought that emerged from Mr. Zhou's mind was actually the same as General Li's from the SEED world.
If the situation in the Breaking Ball World weren't so critically urgent, literally with fire burning their eyebrows,
The appearance of the Homeworld would be like manna from heaven for East Asia.
Furthermore, for SEED East Asia, abandoning their existence in this world and giving up their nation's sovereignty to collectively migrate to the Homeworld -
These two points might be difficult for CE East Asia to accept quickly, but for Breaking Ball East Asia facing the Solar Helium Flash crisis...
With a knife already at their throats, minor flaws aren't completely unacceptable.
After all, as long as people can survive, other issues aren't paramount.
"Hmm, it could serve as a backup option," Mr. Zhou murmured to himself.
However, as he spoke these words, Mr. Zhou suddenly glanced at the MOSS-containing box placed nearby.
"Heh heh heh." He let out a hearty laugh, while Hao Xiaoxi and Breaking Ball Wang Hu looked at him with puzzled expressions.
Mr. Zhou reached up and patted his own forehead with a self-mocking gesture.
"Indeed, expecting humanity to remain rational is unrealistic. Wanting humans to fully shoulder responsibility is also an extravagant hope."
"Gaining one thing and coveting another is the true portrayal of human nature."
"What do you mean?" asked Breaking Ball Wang Hu and Hao Xiaoxi, unaware that Mr. Zhou had treated retreating to the Homeworld as his final trump card and was hesitating about it.
"Just random thoughts," Mr. Zhou smiled without explaining further, and seeing this, the two didn't press for details.
Because the real main event of this Homeworld visit was about to begin!
The light gate opened, with CE Wang Hu leading the way out first, followed by a man who appeared intelligent and rigorous.
For a moment, Breaking Ball Wang Hu and Hao Xiaoxi almost felt like they were seeing another Mr. Zhou.
"Hello." Seeing the man behind CE Wang Hu who shared similar qualities with himself, Mr. Zhou smiled and extended his hand.
"Hello." Grasping Mr. Zhou's hand, General Li shook it firmly.
Then they took their respective seats as host and guest. Just as Hao Xiaoxi watched nervously, wondering what the other party intended to say,
"Through the unanimous resolution of SEED East Asian Federation's Supreme Council of Elders, Cabinet Committee, and Civil and Military Committee..."
"We will provide our East Asian compatriots in the Breaking Ball World with unlimited material, food, and financial assistance."
"Simultaneously, we will gradually transfer decommissioned battleships and weapons from our military upgrades."
"For this aid program, we have prepared 156 detailed categories covering all assistance required by the East Asian sector of the Breaking Ball World."
Getting straight to the point, General Li handed a thick document to the smiling Mr. Zhou as Hao Xiaoxi's jaw dropped wider.
"This is the catalog of our prepared assistance. Please review it, Mr. Zhou."
"If there are any issues we haven't considered, you may raise them now or during subsequent aid processes."
"To paraphrase a saying that needs modification: We shall measure the resources of East Asian SEED to bring joy to our Breaking Ball World compatriots."
"Am... am I hearing this correctly?"
Her mouth went numb, her mind seemed disordered. Hao Xiaoxi woodenly turned her neck to look at Wang Hu from the Breaking Ball World beside her.
"No conditions mentioned? Not even any negotiations? They just decided to give us aid like this?"
In Hao Xiaoxi's mind, even brothers kept clear accounts between them.
Among civilians, blood brothers would fight tooth and nail over a single property or inheritance.
Let alone international exchanges - that required more cunning than eight hundred clever schemes could provide!
When General Li, representing the East Asian authorities of the SEED world appeared, Hao Xiaoxi had prepared herself for heated debates and principled arguments.
To secure assistance from another world, to save as many lives of their world's citizens as possible.
She had mentally prepared herself thoroughly!
But what was happening now?
Hadn't the other side considered the possibility of aiding an ungrateful recipient?
Eh?
Thinking of this possibility, Hao Xiaoxi felt like slapping herself - who would describe themselves that way!
But!
Her eyes wandered between Mr. Zhou quietly reviewing the document and General Li quietly watching Mr. Zhou.
For no reason, turbulent emotions surged in Hao Xiaoxi's chest. This indescribable feeling suddenly transported her back to that passionate, fervent red era.
"Thank you." Finally, Mr. Zhou finished reviewing the entire catalog. Rising, he bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
"I once saw a 15,000-year-old fossil - a human femur that had fractured and then healed."
"I consider it the symbol of human civilization's birth. Fifteen thousand years ago, a broken femur was fatal."
"Because you couldn't avoid danger or forage for food - you could only wait where you were to be eaten by wild beasts."
"But that femur healed. This means that after he was injured, someone treated his wounds, someone provided him with water and food."
"Someone protected him from beast attacks. It was precisely this mutual aid and unity that allowed us humans to survive."
"To pass on the spark of civilization."
"Today I witness this unity and mutual assistance again."
"When we face danger once more, it's our compatriots from another world."
"It's you who extended the hand of friendship through unity and mutual assistance, thus continuing all our civilizations."
"The East Asian sector of the Breaking Ball World will never forget this brotherly bond. In the future..."
"In the future, we will be one family."
Stopping Mr. Zhou from continuing his speech, General Li smiled and shared his thoughts.
"Having witnessed this place, through the Homeworld as a bond, countless versions of East Asia will converge here."
"Mutual assistance, mutual support, and mutual trust should be our common understanding. Perhaps the time is not yet ripe, but I believe that in the near future, a Pan-Dimensional East Asian Community will emerge."
"It will ultimately appear across the multiverse, and you and I are merely the pioneers of this step."
"Indeed." Seeing this, Mr. Zhou refrained from adding any unnecessary words of gratitude.
For here and today, under the banner of East Asian civilization, as representatives of the two worlds' East Asian civilizations, they already possessed an unshakable and indestructible foundation of mutual trust. To say more would be mere pretentiousness.
"For that bright future, we will advance hand in hand." Mr. Zhou declared. Throughout the entire process, the two representatives of East Asian civilization did not propose signing any agreements or making any guarantees.
One side expressed the intention to provide massive aid, while the other graciously accepted it.
One gave, and the other received.
Yet, remarkably, there was no distinction of superior or inferior status. Their equality was not superficial but genuine and substantial.
With that, there was little left to discuss. Mr. Zhou held the aid catalog list provided by SEED East Asia.
Hao Xiaoxi, as if in a dream, carried the case containing the digital life MOSS.
After Breaking Ball Wang Hu opened the light gate leading back to their world, they eagerly returned, their worries swept away.
Before reporting to the UEG, they needed to first brief their own national decision-makers.
Whether it was the large-scale aid or the response to the digital lifeform MOSS in their world, all required their own higher-ups to formulate plans in advance before discussing them at the UEG assembly.
Particularly important was the fact that their SEED world compatriots were currently experiencing war.
The impact of such large-scale aid on their compatriots was easy to imagine.
If any other country dared to act ungratefully!
Well, even if their compatriots didn't mind, the East Asian Alliance of the Breaking Ball World would not stand for it!
At worst, they could part ways!
Thus, matters concerning the Breaking Ball World temporarily came to a close. After seeing off Mr. Zhou and his delegation from the Breaking Ball World, CE Wang Hu then bid farewell to General Li from his own world. Instead of leaving together, CE Wang Hu remained standing in the now deserted space and said,
"What do you think MOSS's warning about 1987 really means?"
His question met with no response from the empty space. Logically, everything in the Homeworld was under the control of Core Wang Hu, who should have heard him. Yet, it seemed as though he had vanished.
"Sometimes I wonder about the origins of the Homeworld. Do you suppose it's possible..."
"I can't say for sure whether there's a connection between quantum computers and quantum mechanics."
"But one day in the future, when East Asia from countless worlds converges,"
"Striving for a common goal, jointly elevating East Asian civilization to unprecedented heights—"
"Could it be that our descendants sent a gift to their predecessors? A romantic gesture unique to us East Asians."
Core Wang Hu offered no reply, and after voicing his conjecture, CE Wang Hu did not linger, nor did he wait for a response.
CE Wang Hu waved his hand and opened a light portal back to his own world, then his figure vanished behind the portal.
"A junior giving a gift to a senior?"
As CE Wang Hu completely disappeared, Core Wang Hu emerged immediately after.
Gazing at the spot where the light portal had vanished, Core Wang Hu looked forward to the day when the Homeworld would be bustling with life once more.
In the near future, East Asian people from countless worlds would make this place brilliantly illuminated.
"Captain Yang Wei, it's time for you to get busy too."
Speaking to the first resident who had arrived at the Homeworld standing beside him, Core Wang Hu smiled and headed toward the true core.
Meanwhile, back in his own world, CE Wang Hu had just emerged when his friend Li Chengzhi sought him out.
"What is it? Can't you let me rest for a bit? What's so urgent?"
Seeing the strange expression on his friend's face, Wang Hu asked curiously.
"Two things. Didn't Zhang Hong and He Juntu go to the C World to assist that Wang Hu over there?"
"Does that version of you really possess the Liu Bei Template?"
"The other matter is that kid Kira will probably have to make a trip to the PLANT Satellite Colonies homeland after all."
Li Chengzhi handed a tablet to Wang Hu, indicating that it contained all the detailed reports.
"What did the Wang Hu in the C World do? He couldn't have dragged Zhang Hong and He Juntu into a Peach Garden Oath, could he?"
Hearing this, Wang Hu lowered his head to look at the tablet and laughed.
