Chapter 2149 - 1651: The Great Migration (Bonus for Alliance Leader Zhang Guangzi Dezhao) (Fifth Update)

"Let’s go to the command room and wait for the speech to start."

Seeing this message, Su Mo appeared thoughtful for a moment and then spoke.

"Okay."

Qian Chengxue nodded.

Not long after, Su Mo and the others arrived at the command room of the Immortal Blade.

Tilo made some adjustments and quickly received the signal from Radiant City, producing a holographic projection.

Lady Goli walked solemnly to the podium and saluted everyone.

"In the past days, I want to thank all the companions who fought together. Because of your efforts, we were able to get here, but as the Negative Universe is no longer suitable for habitation, I officially issue an order in my capacity as Deputy City Lord of Star Ring City: abandon the planet and proceed with the great migration!"

Upon hearing this, everyone from the Mechanical Empire to the Laurel Kingdom, even the Galmotos Empire and the Federation, were stunned.

The entire Star Ring Forum erupted, with countless people speaking frantically.

"What’s happening? We’re actually going to migrate and retreat collectively."

"Did I hear wrong?"

"Is Lady Goli going to lead our retreat?"

...

Qian Chengxue turned her head to Su Mo, anxiously asking, "Su Mo, why did Lady Goli suddenly decide to retreat? What’s happening?"

"The Negative Universe is not safe anymore."

Su Mo took a deep breath and explained to Qian Chengxue.

"Boss, are you serious? Shouldn’t we run quickly then?"

Mo Baoke swallowed hard and said hurriedly.

"Calm down; let’s finish listening to the speech first."

Su Mo said calmly.

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, the group refocused their attention on Lady Goli.

Lady Goli continued speaking calmly to everyone: "I know this decision is bound to confuse and perplex everyone, but I hope you can follow my decision for everyone’s safety. The Negative Universe is no longer safe. I know you are reluctant to leave your Mother Star, but we have no choice. And I understand your concerns about survival after the migration. I, Goli, promise here and now that I will not abandon any of you, and even after the migration, I will continue to protect everyone on behalf of Star Ring City."

...

Upon hearing Lady Goli’s words, countless citizens began to weep.

The suppressed emotions finally erupted.

To be honest, those who didn’t escape and stayed in the Negative Universe either lacked the means to leave or didn’t want to leave the protection of Star Ring City.

Every day was spent in fear and unease.

Now, with Lady Goli’s promise, everyone could finally ease their hearts.

In the underground command room of Earth Star·Freedom City.

Alles watched Lady Goli’s declaration, genuinely smiling, as they finally endured to the end and received Star Ring City’s promise.

In the entire underground command room, soft sobs could be heard.

One female official after another could no longer hold back.

If it weren’t for the heavy burdens on their shoulders, who would choose to stay here? Especially with the issue of Negative Energy pollution being revealed, and the frequent throes of the Negative God Star.

No one could sleep peacefully, always fearing they might not wake up or might no longer be themselves upon waking.

"President of Alles, can we really retreat now?"

Hai Yue took a deep breath to calm her emotions and asked.

"We can. Go prepare; we’ve done all we could."

Alles said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Hai Yue replied joyfully.

...

In the command room of the legendary Star Destroyer, Immortal Blade.

Su Mo and the others listened quietly to Lady Goli’s speech.

"From now on, everyone prepares for the great migration. I will give you ample time, so there’s no need to scramble. Also, I announce that Radiant City will open to everyone and serve as the main migration platform. Furthermore, the main star of the Mechanical Empire is requisitioned as a backup migration platform, and Radiant City will deploy all its starships to assist everyone in the migration."

...

Qian Chengxue turned her head to ask Su Mo.

"Su Mo, are we going to migrate entirely too?"

"Migrate, it’s essential to migrate. By the way, how is the repair of the Heart of Forbidden Prison coming along?"

"The progress is okay, but there’s still a long way to go before completion."

"Has the Sun Furnace been installed? Can it operate yet?"

Su Mo continued to ask.

"The Sun Furnace has been installed, but it can’t operate yet because the exhaust port and propulsion device have not been constructed."

"Have Lin Zinuo and the others stop other constructions and fully focus on completing the exhaust port and propulsion device, life cycle systems, and so on. If manpower is insufficient, requisition from the Federation. The Heart of Forbidden Prison must be operational by then to assist in the evacuation."

Su Mo said decisively.

"Okay, I’ll make the arrangements right away."

Qian Chengxue replied happily, ready to finally leave this troubled place.

But Su Mo, after instructing them, showed a trace of hesitation.

Qian Chengxue noticed something was off in Su Mo’s expression and softly asked.

"Su Mo, what’s wrong?"

"There’s something I need to tell you."

Su Mo took a deep breath and said.

"I won’t be evacuating from the Negative Universe for the time being, and I need to go to the Negative God Star to support Icaroya."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the joyous faces of everyone in the command room turned rigid.

The atmosphere on-site suddenly became very heavy.

"Are you kidding, boss? Right now, everyone is eager to get away from the Negative God Star quickly; why are you heading towards it?"

Sun Duoxiang, despite his nerves, tried to persuade Su Mo.

"Yeah, boss, do you really have to go?"

...

Mo Baoke and others tried to persuade earnestly.

Su Mo smiled ruefully; he didn’t want this messy situation either, but he really had no choice. If Icaroya truly fails, where would they escape to? Surely they couldn’t become a wandering group, hidden away in obscurity.

At this time, Qian Chengxue broke her usual stance and spoke: "I support you."

"What? Sister Xue, aren’t you going to dissuade him?"

Sun Li and the others exclaimed.

Su Mo was surprised that Qian Chengxue would support his decision.

"If I don’t support you, who will? Every decision you make must have its reason and unavoidable circumstances."

Qian Chengxue’s clear, cool eyes gazed at Su Mo, filled with trust.

Su Mo reached out to hold Qian Chengxue’s soft hand and said warmly.

"Thank you."

"Don’t thank me, I haven’t finished; I will go with you."

Qian Chengxue revealed a faint smile.

Upon hearing Qian Chengxue’s words, Su Mo’s first reaction was to refuse. But the words got stuck in his throat and wouldn’t come out.

Seeing the determined look in Qian Chengxue’s eyes, he knew she wouldn’t compromise this time. Since that was the case, they should go together, so he laughed and said.

"Alright!"

Qian Chengxue nodded at Su Mo’s answer.

Standing silently by the side, Tilo said lightly: "Since you, Su Mo, are staying, naturally that includes us because otherwise, who will help you in combat."

"Boss, I’m not leaving either!"

At this time, Sun Duoxiang also decided to give it the go and said.

Sun Li and others chimed in as well.

"Sister Xue, we’re not leaving either."

Xiao Wen and Chen Shan firmly said: "Since Su Mo is staying, we’re not leaving!"

Mo Baoke looked at everyone refusing to leave, said ruefully.

"If you all don’t leave, then what’s the point for me in leaving alone!"

"Ha ha!"

After hearing Mo Baoke’s words, everyone burst into laughter.

...

In space.

In the command room of the Blue Whale.

Yurika listened to Lady Goli’s speech without showing the ecstatic expression he might have, instead revealing a complicated emotion.

Standing beside him, Helene looked at Yurika’s expression, puzzled, and asked.

"Brother, aren’t you happy? Your long-awaited mass evacuation is finally successful."

"Happy, but somehow, at this moment, I feel empty in my heart, like something’s missing. Helene, do you think what I’ve done over the years is right or wrong?"

Yurika replied hoarsely.

"Brother, why would you think like that? Reality has proven your actions were correct, the wrong one was Icaroya; you should be happy."

Helene looked at Yurika with concern; she had never seen him in this state.

"Really? Should I be happy?"

Yurika himself was unsure.

...

With Lady Goli’s speech concluding, the First Birthplace and countries led by the Mechanical Empire announced adherence to Lady Goli’s order and started preparing for the great migration unconditionally.

Soon, countries from the Second Birthplace and Third Birthplace responded.

Everyone began making preparations.
