Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 555 Nuwa is actually a "real estate" developer
The online buzz surrounding "The Chronicles of the Ten Continents" has lasted for several days, overshadowing the impact of the recent inexplicable surge of scientific and technological achievements reported in the news.

Meanwhile, the Chinese government officially established the Nantianmen Project team, focusing on researching anti-gravity technology that could be truly applied to the aerospace field.

As for Fang Xianyu...

Fang Xianyu had thought about it many times: what should Nuwa look like? Tall, sacred, majestic, and benevolent, with a human head and a snake's body as in legends, or with a human head and a dragon's tail as in ancient murals...

But she never expected that Nuwa was just an ordinary person.

She couldn't help but glance at the other person's lower body countless times, her doubts undiminished.

Although the other party stood in front of me in the form of an avatar, it was indeed two legs, real legs.

Yin Quan, who was acting as the introducer, broke the awkward atmosphere with a smile: "We've been waiting for you for so long, and you're finally back!"

Then, he introduced Fang Xianyu and Nuwa to each other: "Let me introduce you. This is Fang Xianyu, the 'Chosen One' in this test, and this is Nuwa, the person in charge of the Guixu Project."

"It's a pleasure to see you again, Fang Xianyu." Nuwa's voice was somewhat ethereal, but her tone was gentle. "I'm also sorry to meet you in this way. After all, I just got back and I'm not quite used to the environment of the Guixu Realm yet, so this is the only way for now."

Yin Quan then explained, "It's like a fish that has lived in the sea for a long time. If it suddenly comes to land without water, it will be very difficult for it to breathe and survive."

Fang Xianyu nodded, not dwelling on these issues, and instead chose to get straight to the point: "I understand, but I have a question."

"Please say."

Fang Xianyu's eyes flashed like sharp swords as he looked at the incarnation of Nuwa and asked, "In your civilization system, are there any laws that apply to civilizations that are not included in the system or are not considered equal? ​​Including the forced kidnapping of individuals from other civilizations to work for you?"

Yin Quan was taken aback by what he heard. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to explain something, but he didn't know how to say it, so he kept silent.

Nuwa's avatar, however, smiled gently and patiently explained, "Of course there are relevant protective laws. I know what you want to say, but I have signed a contract with you, and you yourself agreed to participate in this project."

She then added, "We have signed contracts with all the 'Chosen Ones,' so there is no illegal kidnapping involved."

"Signed...a contract!?"

Fang Xianyu was taken aback.

How come she has no memory of anything?!

As if knowing what Fang Xianyu was thinking, Nuwa said, "According to the assessment, Blue Star will be classified as a D-level civilization in at most ten years. For such a civilization, the Alliance will enter a trial contact phase. If there are no major accidents, the D-level civilization can be upgraded to a C-level civilization in no more than one hundred years... In that case, well, let me think, actually your missing memory was also a loophole in the Alliance's regulations. You were aware of it at the time, it was all in the contract, but... I'll still let you see the records from back then!"

As she spoke, Nuwa snapped her fingers, and Fang Xianyu felt as if she had suddenly entered an "illusion."

Calling it an illusion is not accurate; it's more like a "projection" because the surrounding scenery isn't a fabricated view but a recreated projection. You can't interact with it, which is fundamentally different from an illusion.

Fang Xianyu saw that he was indeed happily discussing something with Nuwa in the "projection," then signing a pile of documents thicker than a Xinhua Dictionary, and finally lying down in a pod that looked a lot like a virtual reality game pod on Earth. It was... kind of awkward.

Fang Xianyu secretly swallowed.

I actually signed a contract!
She had a perfectly good plan: if Nuwa didn't return, she would temporarily rule the Guixu Realm and find an opportunity to hunt down Gu Gu Dao Ren. If Nuwa returned, she would use the pretext of "illegally kidnapping her to work illegally" to occupy the moral high ground, then haggle over benefits to try and retain her power in the Guixu Realm. Even in the worst-case scenario, if Nuwa was unreasonable and wanted to discard her after using her, she could still expose all these things to the Zhonghua Clan. Even if she couldn't win in the short term, she could still unite Blue Star to face the unknown.

But she never expected...

We're really on the same side!
"So... what exactly did I sign back then...?"

Fang Xianyu asked with some difficulty.

"It's nothing much, just a matter of profit distribution. When Blue Star joins the alliance and is rated D, we will apply for a 300 million yuan interest-free alliance currency loan in the name of our investment group, and pay it to Blue Star in one lump sum. If its purchasing power is converted into gold or food, it can be equivalent to hundreds of trillions of Blue Star currency... Of course, in reality, it cannot be converted so simply, but we can understand it this way for now."

"In addition, there is your personal salary of 500 million and 3% of the shares in the Guixu Plan, which are only for receiving dividends."

"And the issue of sovereignty over the Guixu Realm... It's quite interesting. When you signed the contract, you thought you would establish a country, but you didn't do so either time, even though in my opinion, the concept of 'sects' in the Guixu Realm is almost the same as a sovereign state."

“Actually, I told you before that the real high-yield project for our investment group is the ‘immigrant island development’ behind the Guixu Project. Our race needs a high spiritual energy environment to survive, but the alliance no longer approves the development of immigrant islands in uncivilized areas, so we can only take a roundabout approach…”

With Nuwa's explanation, Fang Xianyu finally understood the whole story.

Simply put, Nuwa's original civilization was very special. Just as most fish need water to survive and humans need oxygen to live, Nuwa's race needed spiritual energy to survive.

However, spiritual energy is a naturally occurring, expanding celestial body that constantly emits super-energy factors. It exists in very small proportions and is extremely rare in countless universes and worlds.

To make matters worse, the Alliance Law, in order to protect the pristine state of the universe, stipulates that private development of uncivilized regions is prohibited. This means that the Nuwa race, who finally found a place where they could build a habitable settlement, is unable to develop it due to the Alliance Law and can only watch helplessly.

This is an interstellar version of a real estate developer's nightmare!
This led to the birth of the Guixu civilization... Nuwa and her people applied for a rescue development of a secondary world with a harsh environment and a backward civilization, and managed to organize the chaotic ancient Guixu world into the tribal structure that followed.

But that's all, because the Alliance Law stipulates that such protective development cannot destroy the original form of civilization, nor can it subjectively and forcibly change its development process.

After that, Nuwa and her people kept skirting the rules, such as strengthening the connection between the secondary world of Guixu Realm and the main world of Blue Star Realm, and secretly hiring many Blue Star people to work for Nuwa—like Fang Xianyu.

Of course, it wasn't without its costs. After all, the Alliance Law is very detailed. Theoretically speaking, the actions of Nuwa and her investment group are a gray area, skirting the line.

If Blue Star succeeds, the investment group can enjoy developing a beautiful interstellar real estate market. If Blue Star fails, it won't just be a failed investment; they will be held accountable for whether their shady dealings caused accidents to Blue Star and Guixu civilizations, and in severe cases, they might even face imprisonment.

“But we have no choice.”

Nuwa sighed and said softly, "Some races are too special. They cannot survive without super energy factors. However, there are too few safe places for these races to survive. If we don't take risks, everyone's living environment will be compressed more and more."

"If we want a better environment, we have to work hard for it. We have submitted our opinions to the league many times, but unfortunately they are not taken seriously."
