"And what about the radicals' reaction?" Lynn asked.

“They angrily rejected all proposals, seeing them as a human trick,” Alex continued, “but crucially, two previously neutral members of the Adaptation faction began to lean towards a peace plan.”

This means that the balance of power in the original parliament is shifting. If the pacifists can gain the support of the adaptationists, they could gain a majority in parliament.

“What else did Zeta say?” Emily urged.

"The pacifists are demanding formal negotiations, but the location must be neutral and not in areas controlled by humans or symbiotes," Alex reported.

"What area can be considered a neutral zone?" Chen Kai asked, puzzled.

“Perhaps it’s the International Space Station,” Peter suggested. “It belongs to no one on Earth and symbolizes humanity’s pursuit of peaceful exploration.”

“That’s a good idea,” Lynn nodded, “and the environment of the space station is also quite suitable for conducting confidential negotiations.”

Just as they were discussing the specific arrangements, new information arrived.

"Gentlemen, we've received an unexpected communication," the communications officer reported excitedly. "An organization claiming to represent the 'Symbiotic Peace Alliance' has contacted us."

"The Peace Alliance?" Lynn asked in surprise. "What kind of organization is that?"

"According to their description, this is a loose alliance of pacifist symbiotes from all over the world," the communicator explained. "They have been operating covertly, trying to stop radical extremist behavior."

This discovery has excited everyone. If a global pacifist symbiotic organization truly exists, the possibility of peace has greatly increased.

"What do they want?" Lynn asked.

"They request formal talks with the human government to discuss the possibility of establishing a long-term cooperative relationship," the communicator replied, "and they are willing to provide detailed intelligence on radical activities as proof of their sincerity."

“This is fantastic!” Emma exclaimed excitedly. “Our strategy really worked!”

But Lynn remained cautiously optimistic, saying, "We need to carefully verify their identities and sincerity. This could also be a trap set by the radicals."

“Zeta can help us verify,” Alex suggested. “It should be able to identify genuine pacifist individuals.”

Over the next few days, with Zeta's assistance, Lynn's team established initial contact with this mysterious "Symbiotic Peace Alliance." The verification results were encouraging: it was indeed an organization composed of symbiotes genuinely yearning for peace.

“Representatives from the Peace Alliance are willing to meet with us in three days,” Alex relayed the latest information, “and the location has been chosen to be an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean.”

“What other information do they provide?” Lynn asked.

“The radicals are planning a massive counterattack,” Alex’s expression turned serious. “They intend to launch simultaneous attacks around the world, attempting to create a fait accompli before peace negotiations even begin.”

"when?"

“About two weeks later,” Alex replied, “but the Peace Alliance said they were working to stop the plan from within.”

This news adds urgency to the peace process. If the radicals launch a large-scale attack, all diplomatic efforts could be in vain.

“We need to expedite the negotiation process,” Lynn decided, “while preparing for potential military threats.”

“So, shall we accept the Peace Alliance’s invitation to meet?” Sarah asked.

“Of course,” Lynn nodded, “but this time we must be fully prepared. Not only must we prepare a peace plan, but we must also prepare for the possibility of deception and attack.”

In preparation for the meeting with the Peace Alliance, governments continued to increase their support for the peace initiative. More supplies were deployed around the world, more propaganda materials were disseminated, and more government officials publicly expressed their desire to coexist peacefully with the symbiotic community.

"Public opinion polls show that 70% of people worldwide support establishing peaceful relations with friendly extraterrestrial life," a policy advisor reported. "People are generally more willing to try cooperation than conflict, provided safety can be ensured."

This public support provides strong backing for the government's peace policy.

Meanwhile, the radical symbiotes reacted more violently. They began carrying out small-scale acts of sabotage in some areas, attempting to prove that humans could not be trusted and to prevent cooperation between the pacifists and humans.

“It appears our strategy has indeed worked,” Dr. Banner analyzed in the video conference. “The radicals’ anxious behavior proves they are feeling internal pressure.”

“But this also means that the situation could get worse before it gets better,” Deputy Director Stone cautioned. “We need to be prepared for all possibilities.”

Just one day before the meeting with the Peace Alliance, important news came from Antarctica.

"The Primal Council has convened an emergency meeting," Zeta relayed through Alex, "and the pacifists have formally submitted a motion in support of negotiations with humanity."

"What was the result?" Lynn asked eagerly.

"The vote was four in favor and three against," Alex reported excitedly. "The pacifists have won a majority!"

"what does that mean?"

“This means the Primal Council will send official representatives to participate in peace negotiations with humanity,” Alex explained, “and they promise to restrain the radicals’ behavior, at least during the negotiations, from launching large-scale attacks.”

This news sent the entire command center into a frenzy. Lynn's strategy of sowing discord had succeeded, not only breaking the unity within the symbiote but, more importantly, creating an opportunity for genuine peace.

“We did it,” Lynn told his team. “We not only averted a potentially devastating war, but we also paved the way for peaceful coexistence between the two races.”

“But this is just the beginning,” Sarah cautioned. “The real challenge is how to maintain this peace in the future.”

“One step at a time,” Lynn replied. “At least for now, we’ve proven that understanding and cooperation are more powerful than hatred and conflict.” Night had fallen, but no one wanted to rest. Tomorrow’s meeting could rewrite human history and determine the future of the planet.

In the preparation room, Lynn gave a final check of the draft peace agreement that would soon be brought to the negotiating table. This document was more than just a diplomatic agreement; it was a symbol of understanding and trust between the two intelligent races.

“Whatever happens tomorrow,” Lynn muttered to herself in the mirror, “we have already proven that peace is possible.”

A week later, on a misty morning, an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean was shrouded in fog. Lynn stood outside a makeshift conference tent, gazing at the distant horizon. After a long wait and tense preparations, today was finally the day to witness a moment that could change history.

"The signal's here!" Michael rushed over from the communications equipment. "It's an official reply from Antarctica!"

All the team members gathered around, and Alex immediately contacted Zeta to receive this crucial information.

“Zeta said,” Alex paused, seemingly confirming the accuracy of the information, “the Original Council, after lengthy discussions, formally agreed to the basic framework of the peace agreement.”

"Really?" Emily asked excitedly. "Are they really willing to coexist peacefully?"

“Yes,” Alex continued translating, “they are even willing to establish cooperative zones in extreme environments like Antarctica to conduct scientific research together with humans.”

This news brought a sigh of relief to everyone. After months of conflict, fighting, and negotiations, the symbiote crisis finally saw a glimmer of hope for a peaceful resolution.

"What are the specific conditions?" Lynn asked for details.

“First, the symbiotic community pledges never to again forcibly control humans,” Alex translated point by point. “Second, they agree to establish a shared settlement in Antarctica under international supervision. Third, they will establish a regular mechanism for cultural and scientific exchange. Fourth, the symbiotic community will assist humanity in addressing the challenges of climate change and environmental protection.”

“What about the radicals?” Peter asked worriedly.

“This is the most crucial part,” Alex’s expression turned serious. “The pacifists have pledged to strictly control the actions of the radicals, and if any violations of the agreement are discovered, they will assist humanity in handling them.”

Just then, unusual fluctuations appeared on the sea surface. It wasn't wind or waves, but rather some kind of regular energy pulsation. Soon, a translucent spherical structure rose from the seawater, resembling a vehicle manufactured using some kind of biotechnology.

“The representatives of the Symbiotic Peace Alliance have arrived,” Sarah sensed a strong signal of life energy.

The spherical vehicle slowly landed on the island's beach, then unfolded like a flower, revealing its passengers inside. Three symbiotes of different shapes emerged from it, their appearances more elegant and peaceful than any symbiotes Lynn had ever seen before.

“Welcome, peace envoy to Earth,” Lynn said, using the basic symbiotic greeting he had learned beforehand.

“Thank you for your courage and wisdom, human friends,” the leading symbiote responded fluently in multiple languages. “I am the Star Speaker, this is the Wise One, and this is the Healer Zeren. We represent the peaceful symbiotes scattered across the globe, and have come to establish formal diplomatic relations with you.”

Over the next few hours, the two sides engaged in detailed and in-depth negotiations. In stark contrast to the previous tense standoff in Antarctica, these negotiations were filled with an atmosphere of mutual understanding and genuine cooperation.

“Our race has wandered for thousands of years, searching for a place we can call home,” the Star Speaker explained. “Earth was indeed an ideal choice, but we never intended to acquire the right to inhabit it through conquest.”

"So what about the previous conflict?" Lynn asked.

“It’s the behavior of our own extremist faction,” therapist Zelen said. “They’ve become radicalized and violent because of their long years of homelessness. But now, through the kindness and wisdom you’ve shown, we see a better possibility.”

"What are the specific cooperation methods?" Emily inquired about the practical aspects.

The wise man, Sanskrit Voice, unfurled a 3D holographic projection, displaying a detailed cooperation plan: "Antarctica will be divided into three areas: a human research area, a symbiotic living area, and a collaborative cooperation area. Within the cooperation area, scientists from both sides will jointly study Earth's environmental issues, biotechnology, and space exploration."

“That sounds perfect,” Lynn nodded, “but how do we ensure that all symbiotes comply with the agreement?”

“We have established a global surveillance network,” the Star Speaker replied. “Any symbiotic individual violating the peace agreement will be immediately detected and stopped. Furthermore, we are willing to establish joint action mechanisms with human law enforcement agencies.”

Lynn was very pleased with the proposal. If the symbiote was willing to cooperate with monitoring and law enforcement, the possibility of long-term peace would greatly increase.

“We have another special proposal,” therapist Zelen added, “that some willing humans can establish a true symbiotic relationship with a friendly symbiote, like Mr. Lynn and Zeta did. This relationship would bring enormous benefits to both parties.”

“For example?” Sarah asked curiously.

“Humans will gain enhanced physical capabilities, longer lifespans, and immunity to disease,” the therapist explained, “while symbiotes will gain richer emotional experiences and deeper intellectual understanding.”

"Was this voluntary?" Emily emphasized.

"Completely voluntary, and can be terminated at any time," the Star Speaker confirmed. "We have learned from our collaboration with Zeta that true symbiosis must be built on the foundation of equality and freedom."

The negotiations lasted a full day, and by dusk, the two sides finally reached a comprehensive peace agreement. This agreement not only ended the conflict between humans and symbiotes but also laid the foundation for long-term cooperation between the two races.

“This is a historic moment,” Lynn said at the signing ceremony. “We have not only averted a potentially devastating war, but more importantly, we have ushered in a new era of cooperation between humanity and extraterrestrial civilizations.”

"May peace and wisdom always guide our way forward," the Star Speaker responded.

The day after the agreement was signed, the news spread rapidly around the world. Governments around the world congratulated the signing of this historic diplomatic achievement, and the UN Security Council passed a resolution formally recognizing the legal status of the Earth-Symbiotic Peace Cooperation Agreement.

"This is one of the greatest achievements in the history of human diplomacy," the UN Secretary-General said at a press conference. "It proves that understanding and cooperation are still possible, even when facing completely unfamiliar extraterrestrial civilizations."

In the following days, symbiotes began to actively engage with humans around the world. These interactions were friendly, and many symbiotes even offered assistance, such as helping with environmental remediation, providing medical aid, and participating in educational and cultural exchanges.

"The symbiotic communities beneath London have fully embraced peace," the British report states, "and are helping to repair the underground infrastructure damage caused by previous conflicts."

"The situation in Tokyo is also very good," the Japanese representative added. "Symbiotic scientists have begun collaborating with our research team to jointly develop new clean energy technologies." (End of Chapter)
