Chapter 2529 The Meeting That Decides the Fate of Humanity 3

Listening to the murmurs of the crowd, Zhang Yi sat in the center of the room, his eyes lowered, but he already had his own ideas in mind.

Unity and cooperation?

Of course they could, but the Huaxu Kingdom must reap the lion's share of the benefits. Otherwise, why would they protect the weak?

Zhang Yi never believed in grand reasons like "human righteousness" or any of them.

He merely glanced indifferently at the representatives of the small countries present. Those guys were already excitedly planning for the future, seemingly envisioning themselves joining the Human Alliance and being protected by top-tier powers like Huaxu or Colombia, living a peaceful life.

"Innocent."

Zhang Yi chuckled inwardly, but chose not to express his opinion and instead wait and see.

Let's see what the representatives of other countries and forces mean.

Everyone present was a shrewd old fox; there wasn't a single fool among them. Therefore, this meeting was a large-scale game of strategy, and it was bound to be very interesting.

Amidst the murmurs, Mi Huaide, the representative of the Pupil Organization at this meeting, gently tapped the table.

"Negotiations are certainly possible. However, there is a prerequisite—you must first determine who can represent the 'Modern Human Race'."

Another round of whispers broke out in the channel.

Who represents us? Who makes the decisions?

It's a problem with fire.

Many people turned their attention to the center of the meeting hall. Without a doubt, the Huaxu Kingdom and Colombia were the most qualified to represent humanity in negotiations with other races.

Zhang Yi and Morgan were the top choices.

Benjamin first turned his gaze to Zhang Yi: "Lord Chaos, what do you think?"

Zhang Yi spoke bluntly, yet he also touched on every aspect: "First, I oppose the establishment of a 'Kingdom of Humanity.' Putting everyone in one bowl will cause them all to perish if it's smashed once. What we need is a distributed network of life, where each person guards their own territory and can lend a helping hand to others."

What he was actually trying to say was that the weak need to learn to save themselves, and that they are not doing charity work and don't have time to care about so many weaklings.

Those countries and forces weaker than Huaxu were completely unable to resist the invasion of foreign races, so their destruction was inevitable.

Earth may lack many things, but it has a large population. It's perfectly acceptable for their Huaxu Kingdom to be responsible for ensuring the continuation of their bloodline for six generations.

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of many national representatives who had been pleased before changed.

Ignoring their reactions, Zhang Yi continued speaking:

"Second, I am not against negotiation. If we can reach an agreement, we can save millions of lives; if we can't, we can fight again. Negotiation is not surrender, it's moving the knife from our necks to the table."

He extended his third finger, but his gaze was fixed on Benjamin Morgan.

"Thirdly, who can represent modern humans? This is a question worth discussing."

"First, we need to determine what qualifications human representatives need to meet."

"Everyone, what kind of person do you think can represent all of humanity?"

Zhang Yi swept his gaze across everyone present, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

It is indeed difficult to reach a consensus on establishing such a standard.

"Strength?" "Kindness?" "Or perhaps intelligence?"

Everyone has different standards, and they are all making comments from their own perspectives.

Benjamin Morgan suddenly chuckled softly, “Gentlemen, I have a suggestion for you to hear.”

"Time is of the essence, and we cannot afford to waste too much time on this issue."

"Instead of choosing a particular person as a representative, others may not be convinced. So my suggestion is to form a delegation!"

“Choose the most powerful and intelligent group of people in the human world. Let them represent all of humanity and negotiate with the many races of ancient times!”

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow. "That sounds like a good suggestion."

This is indeed the best option at present.

Because if any individual were to negotiate on behalf of all humanity, they would inevitably betray the interests of others and seize benefits for their own country at such a critical juncture of life and death.

Because that's what Zhang Yi was thinking too.

He didn't mind drastically reducing the territory of other countries, or even abandoning most of the small nations to islands in the Pacific, in exchange for peace between the foreign tribes and the Huaxu Kingdom.

Benjamin Morgan's proposal was met with nods of agreement from many.

Regarding the Vatican, Arnold nodded: "The Vatican approves of this proposal."

King Arthur pondered for a moment and realized that this was the best course of action, so he said, "Britannia agrees!"

Saladin said in a deep voice, "The Kuton Empire agrees."

Morana lit a cold light: "Fremons approves."

Indra spread his hands and smiled, "Bharata has no objections either."

Yamamoto wanted to speak, but no one paid any attention to them. In the end, he could only say sullenly, "Neon Japan, of course, follows the majority."

Milwaukee smiled: "Although the Pupil Organization is not a country, it still possesses considerable power and will strongly support this matter and strive to make it happen."

Benjamin Morgan looked at Zhang Yi; Zhang Yi's attitude was very important.

"Your Excellency Chaos, what is your opinion on this matter?"

Zhang Yi sat on the sofa, rubbed his fingers together, and after thinking it over carefully, concluded that this matter would not do him any harm.

He also wanted to see what the relationships were between the many ancient civilizations, and how deep their hostility towards humanity really was.

Only after contact can this matter be understood.

"Okay, I agree."

he said with a smile.

Morgan breathed a sigh of relief.

“Then,” he clapped his hands, “we shall immediately form a [Humanity Joint Negotiation Team]! Each party shall send a plenipotentiary representative, and Colombia shall coordinate the technology and intelligence.”

"The goal of the first round of negotiations is to establish the most basic neutrality line for the civilian areas, and to prioritize negotiating with non-ethnic regimes that are more rational and can be negotiated with."

He looked at Zhang Yi: "The specific sessions of the negotiations will be conducted by us in Colombia, in a safe zone far from the crowds, and the entire communication will be shared and recorded. We hope that you, as the representative of Huaxu Kingdom, will provide military deterrence when necessary."

Zhang Yi's combat prowess is exactly the kind of support and shield that all of humanity urgently needs right now.

After all, a knight's level of combat power is already a very high level, even among the ancient human race.

Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "I can use force as a deterrent, but I'll make this clear from the start."

"I will strictly abide by Huaxu's bottom line. If anyone crosses the line, I will prioritize the safety of my territory before considering the reputation of others."

"If you want military intimidation, I can use it. But all parties must give their all. I can't guarantee what the consequences will be for anyone who tries to hide in the back and enjoy the fruits of victory."
