I Found A Planet

"What happened? I'd only left for a little more than half a year," Mu Yunhua said.

Looking at Jin's flustered expression, it was like how he used to tease her in the past and played a joke on her.

"It's a coup."

Chen Jin said in a serious tone, "There was a coup d'etat that caused some turmoil in the upper echelons of the All-Stars Federation. In just a few days, they had passed a "Bill of Rights to Restrict the Queen's Authority." Most of your rights have been taken away."

"If you go back now, you will either become a puppet whose symbolic significance is greater than your actual significance or you'll trigger a large-scale bloody conflict and use hard-line means to seize back your rights. Your situation is currently dangerous."

Chen Jin said as he played a video.

The images in the video showed the Federation's parliament. A portion of the federal parliament members accused the Queen of having too much power, they demanded restrictions to be put in place, and that power must be returned to the people… They shouted all kinds of slogans in stern voices born from a sense of righteousness.

And in the final voting round, the bill of rights to restrict the authority of the Queen was passed with support from 71% of members.

More than two-thirds were in support and the bill was successfully passed.

"This…" Mu Yunhua looked stupefied and she felt surprised. She had never imagined such a scene.

She was the leader of human civilization.

The highest leader of the All-Stars Federation.

She had repeatedly led mankind out of crisis and made indelible contributions for the good of society.

Her tall and large bronze statues or sculptures could be found across every planet and were revered by billions of subjects.

History books had many passages praising her.

She had deep roots among the masses and her public support rate was unmatched.

She never imagined that she would be betrayed by the upper echelons.

Looking at the faces of each of the members who so vehemently opposed her in the video, she was incomparably stunned.

A voice in her heart said, How could this be like this. It's only been half a year, but those who privately opposed her had grown so strong to this extent?

"What the hell is going on? How are there so many people against me all of a sudden?"

Although the quality of her psyche and attitude was excellent, Mu Yunhua could not help but ask this question.

"Interests." Chen Jin stretched out a finger and waved it slightly, "The bottom line has always been interests."

He turned to look at the woman. She still had an elegant temperament that seemed unwavering. Then he said, "From the moment the Blue Space left the moon's orbit, besides the 10 odd years in the middle, you've held all the rights in your hands for the other hundred plus years."

"You had become an old face that can't be moved or prodded."

"The administrative system you've formulated, the system you've designed, they have been running smoothly for hundreds of years without errors, but they have also led to the solidification of the hierarchy and made the moving around of interests very difficult."

"Now that the war had been won, the sweet and delicious fruits of success can be found throughout the land. It will not take long before they invade the Lanyi civilization in the wake of the counterattacks and occupy a larger territory."

"What they see in this process of expansion and conquest are endless benefits."

"But with your character, such huge benefits would be split 50/50 between the upper echelons and the middle-lower classes. But after overthrowing you, the upper echelons can take 80% of the interests, and the middle and lower classes will only get the peanuts that they leave behind."

"Comparing the two systems, the latter system can better stimulate their enthusiasm for expansion, so they chose to take a little risk."

Which led to this current unique situation.

With this, her spirit wanned, as if she was not present. Especially when she saw the "old members" who gave the best performances and the many familiar faces.

Sadness bloomed in her heart.

The corners of her mouth tipped upwards in a helpless smile. Betrayal. There was nothing they could not do for the sake of greater, more profitable interests.

She had given everything she had for hundreds of years and spent countless days and nights working carefully and diligently. Right after becoming a stumbling block in their way to greater interests, she encountered such a situation in just a short six months.

Even if her face was calm with no great changes or shock in her expression, her heart must still be hit hard.

"No~"

Mu Yunhua looked at Chen Jin with a cold and severe glare, "It's not logical for them to do this. It's very risky! You're the one supporting me from behind. You provided the S-class and A-class warships that had brought victory to the Federation. Once betrayed, you can give the order to recover them and the Federation will lose their biggest bargaining chip."

"My value and role are irreplaceable. So much so that if they leave me, the All-Stars Federation will be pulverized by the Lanyi civilization… They are bringing harm to themselves and others. Those with a little bit of common sense and negotiation skills can see the benefits and losses in this situation. How can they lose their heads through material greed and do such stupid things?"

Her suspicious gaze scanned Chen Jin from top to bottom. She was a little skeptical. Did this guy plan this? So that he could keep her in Haierfa for a long time.

"Can you please stop looking at me like this?"

Chen Jin saw the meaning in her eyes and spread out his hands. "You're already here, why would I engage in those manipulations? I can make you stay here directly, why make those unnecessary moves?"

"This time, it's the politicians on Walf who are out of their minds from the rush they got thinking about the interests. They only saw the immediate interests and neglected the later risks. As for why they utilized the official federal army to come here and launch an attack… The probable purpose is to kill you."

A dead man could not talk.

"And no matter how close our relationship is, a third party can never be very clear or specific about the details of the relationship. So, they can make mistakes in judgment or act contemptuously. They could even think of ideas like 'not a big threat' or 'they can replace you and launch a new role to be in negotiations with me.'"

"They are betting that as an alien force, I will not intervene in their internal affairs or fall out with them by canceling the previous cooperation. They think that the All-Stars Federation is like a sword in my hands and that I can't bear to throw it away or destroy the treasured sword. Hence, they feel that so long as they do not go overboard, our cooperation can continue."

Therefore, they launched that absurd coup.

He had to say that the way they thought was too optimistic and naive.

"Yun, as long as you give the word, as long as you give me a nod, I will help you to suppress this coup and get back your the power that belongs to you. I will immediately dispatch the Ultimate Battle warship to resolve this crisis."

Chen Jin said in a serious tone, "Yun, just nod your head and it'll be done. I'll send you back immediately."

The Ultimate Battle warship that he said was the SS-class warship he had mentioned before. It could face off against ten enemy ships on the battlefield. Its existence was invincible. Once it was mobilized, the crisis would be reduced to a small problem in Mu Yunhua's eyes.

She could take back her advantage at any time.

As for the price, of course, a large number of people would be killed or injured… But all the dead would be humans, and the seeds of internecine strife within themselves would be buried.

Such an ending must never be realized.

Mu Yunhua was silent for a little while. Suddenly, she shook his head and said, "No, forget it, I'm not going back. I'll stay here for a while more."

"Uh, why?" Chen Jin was stumped. This was not her style.

"I'm tired."

Mu Yunhua signed. She raised her head and looked into the distance, "I have no interest in power from the very beginning. There are many people whose management abilities far exceed mine. The only reason I sat in that position was so that humans could become more cohesive. "

"Now, that crisis has passed, and the businesses of various industries are booming. It is no longer necessary for someone to stand up and unite them as one."

"Instead, I have become the source of disasters. I have become a hero who should sacrifice everything after victory. When I return to the planet of Walf, I will set off an environment of crazy slaughter and create more casualties for no good reason."

"In this case, I will not go back. I'll disappear from their sights and attention. Maybe their future will be brighter without my leadership."

At this point, Mu Yunhua, who had always kept a noble, cold, and bland expression, revealed a pure smile.

She turned and looked back at the huge museum that was akin to a burial site and thought, "This place may be my home for the latter half of my life."

"You're not going back?"

When he heard these words, a warm feeling flooded his heart. Somehow, the incomparably ancient Chen Jin revealed a sense of joy that was difficult to contain.

He said in welcome, "Yun, this place just happens to be quite cold and lonely. You can stay here for a while. Stay for as long as you want. Even if it's forever, I very much welcome it."

He had a companion.

He would have one more companion by his side!

The level of liveliness in Haierfa had increased by 50% in an instant.

It could be said that this was worth celebrating; this was very exciting.

But…

Guo Yan walked over to Chen Jin's side and reached out to pinch the flesh on his waist. Grabbing the flesh, she made a 90-degree twist with her wrist, causing a wave of pain. When this happened.

Chen Jin looked at her.

From the woman's eyes, he saw the feelings of disappointment, sadness, anger, helplessness and more.

"I didn't deliberately make her stay here."

Chen Jin grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes, "You've seen the situation too. As soon as Yun returns to Walf, her life would be in danger and war will inevitably erupt. Many humans will die. But there is no good way to resolve this, so the only thing she can do is to stay here for a while more."

"What has that got to do with us?"

Guo Yan said in a cold voice, "You can't handle your affairs well, and you're still willing to handle other people's affairs?"

She held onto Chen Jin's hand, "Can we live in our private world again? Where it's just the two of us? I will come up with new ideas and methods to make you feel satisfied and happy. Although it can be very cold and empty here, I am willing to go on like this."

"You haven't gotten a taste of waiting. It was long, waiting for the person you love to return to your side. That process was too long. Each passing day felt as long as a year. I don't know how long I've endured before getting this reward."

"But now, there is a woman who wants me to share a portion of the love that belongs to me. This is very difficult to bear for me. I don't agree to this. Please think about my feelings carefully."

Almost as if she was venting, Guo Yan said the words that had been buried in her heart for a long time, depicting the course of her train of thoughts.

It was very emotional and deeply moving.

The person involved, Chen Jin, felt extremely ashamed. Indeed, amongst the three women, Guo Yan had invested the most time and energy into the relationship with Chen Jin. The times where she got the company of Chen Jin was, on average, less than ten times a year. She had lived as a "grass widow" most of the time. Besides taking care of the children, the only thing she did was to wait like a sentimental idiot.

There were many temptations in the outside world, but she had never fallen for them, not even once.

She dedicated her body, mind, and time to the man who only treated her like a charity case.

Even if Chen Jin did not believe in the so-called idea of love, he had to admit that Guo Yan absolutely, truly loved him.

A worshipful and yearning sort of love that had slowly transformed into a dependent love that sought to monopolize.

There would only be a few women who could be as pure-hearted in love as she was.

It was like her level of loyalty was fixed at 100. She was the type who would not go on living alone if something happened to Chen Jin.

Now that he was faced with the entreaties of such a woman, could Chen Jin harden his heart to reject her request; to ignore her voice?

"Ok." Chen Jin sighed. He felt that his biggest shortcoming was his soft-heartedness. It was difficult to harden his heart. Especially towards women, he never had any definite opinions or a will of his own.

But this time, he still chose to reduce the "problems" he had on hand. After all, one less problem was always better.

He called Mu Yunhua over. In front of Guo Yan, Chen Jin said, "Yun, I have more than 1,500 star systems under my control. How about this, you can pick any one of those and live there. It will be your private star."

"In addition, besides Haierfa, you can also choose between the moon, Mars, and space city in this solar system. It's only Haierfa where only two people can live for now."

"So, Yun, make your own choice! Whether you want to stay close to us or further away, its completely up to you. I will not interfere with or influence your decision. Once you've confirmed your choice, I'll immediately send you to the new place."

"I am very sorry that I cannot fully fulfill the honors and duties of a host." Chen Jin said with a calm tone. Sunlight scattered across his face and he looked very upright.

His meaning was very clearly conveyed. The meaning was a little like a notice to leave. He believed that Mu Yunhua also understood his intentions. She nodded and thought about which place would be better for her to live in.

On the contrary, it was the emotionally sensitive Guo Yan, who became a bit sensitive at this moment. She gradually became flustered.

Misunderstanding.

This might be a misunderstanding.

It was purely overthinking on her part. She thought that Chen Jin and Mu Yunhua had non-platonic feelings for each other in secret or perhaps they were committing adultery in private.

She never thought that Chen Jin would do as she asked, leaving no room for negotiations.

Mu Yunhua was also cooperating. She finally chose to move to the moon and live in a large scientific research institution to carry out some work that she was interested in.

If there were any problems, they could contact each other via dispatch. Even if they were separated by billions of light-years, real-time audio and video conversations could be achieved with quantum entanglement technology.

Since they could contact each other every day, why would they need to stick to each other every day?

From this point of view, Guo Yan did not seem to be very generous. For the time being, it seemed that she had acted in a rather stubborn, spoiled, and petty manner.

However, although Chen Jin's behavior had deeply moved her, at the same time, she also worried that she had left a bad impression in his mind… A man's impatience with a woman often started from a small aspect and then it fermented. Before you knew it, the problematic issue would have blown up.

Like cracks appearing beneath the calm surface of the ice.

Guo Yan was also worried that some sort of crack would appear in their feelings for each other. After Mu Yunhua moved to the moon, she reflected on herself and made some changes. She no longer overreacted to the extent that she did before.

…

After Mu Yunhua settled, with the loss of this "link," the scope of cooperation between Chen Jin and the All-Stars Federation had significantly narrowed. The technology transfer was no longer as generous as it was in the past, and the rewards given were much less than before.

But overall, the relationship between Chen Jin and the All-Stars Federation was primarily a peaceful one. Concerning his dealings with the Federation, he had the leisure to enjoy that ordinary and beautiful life.

But…

Recently on earth, the situation had slowly changed. The opportunity that would benefit the development of the human race was coming.

That was, direct supplementation of the concentration of all kinds of psionic particles had stopped. After the dispersion of the particles, its concentration had been reduced by more than one fold.

The era of the "Revival of Magical Powers" gradually slipped into the "era of low adherence and belief in Buddhist teachings."

The performance of many pure high-tech weapons was improving every year, and the pace of the "tendency towards technology" was accelerating.

Cultivation methods had become extremely efficient with the help of supercomputers.

Slowly, it seemed that the slogan, "Rise of the Human Race," was bellowed out.
