Chapter 1281 The Awareness of Giving Up Life

Xu Sheng's expression changed from amiable to serious.

He truly hadn't expected that today's meeting would bring up such a heavy topic.

He knows better than anyone what's going on in the outside world.

After Ziyue successfully arrived on Blue Star, Xu Shengke had many conversations with her.

Given the rights and positions of both parties, Zi Yue indeed needed to obey Xu Sheng and act according to his orders.

But in terms of knowledge and strength, Zi Yue is far superior to Xu Sheng.

As the leader of the Blue Star Professionals Alliance and the highest leader of Blue Star, Xu Sheng knew that having power alone was not enough. He had to broaden his horizons as much as possible so that he could make responsible decisions for everyone on Blue Star when Blue Star needed to make critical decisions.

Xu Sheng and Zi Yue consulted many questions about other planets, including the feasibility of Blue Star plundering resources from other planets.

Zi Yue had no intention of discouraging the people of Blue Star; what she said was quite reasonable:
Given Earth's current strength, it is virtually impossible for it to seize resources from other planets.

There are no easy opponents among the planets above the human realm in the Desire Realm.

Among them, many possessed divine power.

The Blue Star team was no match for them. Fighting them would be tantamount to suicide. Therefore, the search for materials to manufacture the Source Cannon was put on hold.

It wasn't that Xu Sheng didn't care; for the future of Blue Star, he simply had no choice but to move forward steadily.

"You should know what the consequences of doing this will be. To put it bluntly, going there is no different from sending yourself to your death. You're taking your people to seize that crucial resource. It's no exaggeration to say that you won't even be able to transfer the materials to the person in charge of receiving them."

"Going there will most likely be suicide, taking all your men to their deaths. I'm naturally happy that someone is going to retrieve those crucial materials, but you need to think carefully. You only have one life."

Xu Sheng spoke calmly, even with a hint of coldness.

His meaning was clear: he didn't want the Starks to take any risks.

But how could Stark not understand what he meant?

A person's life can be as weighty as Mount Tai or as light as a feather.

As a war god, how could he let his life pass by so uneventfully?

He must live out his own value.

Stark extended his hand to Xu Sheng and shook it.

“Thank you very much for taking care of us over the years. Decades ago, I didn’t have a very good impression of Da Xia. At that time, we were in a state of opposition, so it was only natural that I had a bad impression of Da Xia.”

"The longer I've been in your ranks, the more I've discovered that you are truly exceptional people, and it is an honor to fight alongside you."

"I can foresee that we are about to enter a completely new era. After entering this new era, our planet will need even greater power to gain a foothold. I must take this step, and I hope I can succeed."

The entire conference room was very quiet. This speech moved everyone present.

In terms of strength, Stark is not among the strongest on Earth.

But it is truly remarkable that he dared to have such an idea.

His words resonated with many people present.

Who among us isn't a prominent figure on this planet, the pride of our families and our country?

Over the years, they had become accustomed to doing nothing, to following Lin Yi's orders, and had even forgotten that they were a war god.

“I will take twenty War Gods with me, all of whom have mastered the supreme laws. In this way, my team’s combat strength will not be too bad. We will take advantage of our numbers to launch a surprise attack, and then put the necessary materials into special storage rings. That way, you can just leave with the rings, and the enemy will not know where the materials have been taken.” Stark had even prepared a plan for the operation.

Indeed, storing items in a special storage ring can shield one's aura and make it convenient to store things. All that's needed is a specific coordinate, and someone can be sent to retrieve them later, which can greatly increase the success rate of the operation.

Seeing Stark's serious expression and listening to his well-prepared plan, Xu Sheng knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't change the guy's mind.

The rebuilt nation, with twenty war gods who had mastered the supreme laws, represented all of Stark's elite forces.

It is a team that he has painstakingly assembled over the years, pouring all his heart and soul into it.

How could he not feel bad if Stark just took it out and ruined it like that?

How could he not feel heartache? He just knew that compared to the future of the planet, the lives of these twenty people were nothing.

Before Xu Sheng could speak again, an old man with a white beard stood up from his seat.

"Heh heh, Mr. Stark, I didn't expect you to offer such a constructive suggestion. You've hardly ever voiced your thoughts in meetings over the years. I thought you were a submissive guy, but I never expected this."

The old man who spoke was none other than Zhou Heyu, the current leader of the Professionals Alliance of Great Xia.

Zhou Heyu, the renowned Grandmaster of War God of the Great Xia Dynasty, is famous not only in his own country but also throughout the entire planet.

He has trained countless talented individuals.

In terms of combat prowess alone, he wasn't particularly outstanding in the entire Great Xia Dynasty. However, when it came to connections, apart from Lin Yi, practically no one in Great Xia could compare to him.

His talent scouting and cultivation of new talents in the Great Xia even surpassed that of official institutions. He devoted his entire life to nurturing talent for the Great Xia.

His contributions to the entire country are known to all.

When Xu Sheng saw Zhou Heyu stand up, his mind went blank.

He knew what this accomplished old man was up to.

However, he dared not say it.

"Old Zhou, please don't get involved. If you think this plan is feasible, just nod your head."

Getting involved? Sorry.

Zhou Heyu smiled and patted Xu Sheng on the shoulder.

“Xu Sheng, I’m not just going to nod and call it a day. How can I not participate in something this important? Over the years, this old man of mine hasn’t achieved anything particularly outstanding. How can you expect this old man to just sit here and do nothing?”

“Well, Mr. Stark has put forward a very constructive suggestion, and I will certainly support it.”

Zhou Heyu's words made Xu Sheng a little anxious.

They quickly made a move to force Old Zhou to sit down.

Zhou Heyu is one of the most prestigious war gods in the Great Xia Dynasty. How could he let Zhou Heyu risk his life to participate in this event?

Unfortunately, Xu Sheng is not a war god, and in terms of strength, he is definitely no match for Zhou Heyu.

It was impossible to force Zhou Heyu to sit down.

"Old Zhou, please don't be silly. You are a hero of the Great Xia Dynasty, sacrificing your life for the country and the planet. How can it be your turn to do such a thing? Don't you agree?"
