Collapse Iron: As the Balance Envoy, I've joined the chat group

The leader, Fagana, glanced at her side slightly.

For some reason, she felt that the Divine Child was somewhat different today than usual.

It seems like...their emotions have become more varied.

Zhong Heng ignored his secretary's inner monologue. Although he followed her slowly toward the meeting room, his mind was still on the brief chat in the group chat.

Since his transmigration, even with his current immense strength, Zhong Heng has rarely intervened in the universe, though only in the few events mentioned in the original game text.

The main reason is the fear that their intervention might cause irreversible changes to the future "script".

Si Mo said that Zhong Heng, who had played the game, naturally had some understanding of it.

On this stage where many star gods will appear and compete on the chessboard, even he is powerless to intervene and change anything.

Ultimately, it must be admitted that the Star Core Hunter in the game, or rather, what Elio refers to as...

If the arrival of the four ends cannot be stopped, then "memory" is undoubtedly the best choice.

Even if in the end, all that's gained is one cycle of restarting.

It's better than completely returning to chaos and nothingness.

All he can do is use his own strength to navigate the path of equilibrium, and by utilizing the zero-sum game, try his best to drag that future to a more distant future.

And within this gained time, try to find your own goal and forge your own destiny to become a star god before the war of the gods officially begins.

And now...

With the chat group as a cheat, a different thought quietly arose in Zhong Heng's mind...

Could it be that through chat groups, we can connect to more worlds and beings in the future, gather different systems and wisdom from all realms, and take "balance" to a level even further than mutual?

Could we then use a more powerful understanding of the destiny of "balance" to devour each other?

Since there is a risk of being assimilated as I go further and further in achieving balance, why can't I take my place now that I have strengthened the path of balance to infinity throughout the universe?

At this moment, because of the arrival of the chat group, Zhong Heng overturned his previous ideas, and a seed quietly took root and sprouted in his heart, gradually growing stronger.

She gently shook her head, trying to clear her mind of the tempting idea that had suddenly popped into her head.

The two quickly arrived at the reception room.

There sat a cool and elegant career woman with her legs crossed, casually flipping through a book with one hand, while stirring the coffee that had been sitting in front of her for who knows how long with the other.

The beautiful woman frowned slightly, seemingly deep in thought.

However, it was clear that the woman's mind was not on what was in front of her.

This is not.

Upon hearing the noise, it slightly raised its head.

Upon seeing the target she had been waiting for finally appear, her beautiful emerald eyes curved slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Your Excellency, it's truly not easy to get an audience with you!"

After instructing his secretary to brew a pot of good tea, Zhong Heng sat down opposite her.

"Haha~ Ms. Ciyu is joking. I've been busy reviewing the first draft of the new law submitted by the arbitrators, and I've been so busy that I've almost forgotten the time."

"Come, try this batch of new tea sent by the Immortal Boat Alliance. If you think it's good, take some back with you when you leave, as an apology for keeping Ms. Ciyu waiting for so long."

He took the teapot from his secretary, Fagana, skillfully washed the cups, filled them to about seven-tenths full, and gently pushed them in front of Emerald.

"Hehe~ I don't usually think much of it when others call me Lady Ciyu, but it's only when His Excellency the Supreme Judge mentions this insignificant title that I feel very comfortable, as if my actions have been affirmed by an elder~"

"The tea has a rich aroma and the tea soup is clear and bright; it looks very good!"

"Since it was a gift from His Excellency the Supreme Judge, I'll take quite a few with me later."

Emerald covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

When others mention Ms. Ciyu, it's mostly because she's a senior executive in the company's strategic investment department, or because of the capital she can leverage, and because of Ciyu Pawnshop's business, which seems like a "wish" to the world.

Only when the person in front of me mentions it can I be completely certain, and it is more of an affirmation of her as a person and what she has done.

This is certainly something to be happy about!

Zhong Heng's clear black and white pupils carefully examined the cold and elegant woman in front of him, his eyes filled with admiration.

Whether it was through a screen in the past or right now, jade has become a familiar thing to me.

It must be said that, although in the eyes of many, the other party is a businessman, an investor, and a lender.

Compared to cold, hard contracts, this person prefers to write contracts in black and white on paper that are called "gratitude".

It might be a small donation, or an exchange of favors. In the face of good deeds, people's behavior and desires are always very honest.

This is also the origin of the other party's title "Ms. Ciyu".

Among these many contracts ostensibly based on "gratitude," the most famous and outstanding investment at present involves two other colleagues of the other party.

—Little Yelena (Topa), and Kakavasya (Gold Sand).

An investment yielded two powerful assistants who later grew to be on par with him—it seemed like a sure-fire way to make money.

He chuckled softly, "Alright, take a few extra portions back with you when you say goodbye, it wouldn't hurt for Toppa and Sandgold to try them."

Zhong Heng picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, took a sip, and put it down. His expression turned serious. "Well then, enough of the small talk, Ms. Jade, tell me the purpose of your visit."

Seeing that Zhong Heng had become formal and even changed how he addressed her, Emerald immediately stopped smiling and sat up straight, knowing that it was time to get down to business.

"Your Excellency, Supreme Judge, I am here on the orders of the Board of Directors, seeking to establish a cooperative alliance with your Cosmic Court."

"In addition, while sending the patent fees for the Amber Era synesthesia beacon, let's also discuss the issue of new patent licensing."

Zhong Heng raised an eyebrow, showing no surprise whatsoever.

I just didn't expect that this time the patent fee for the synesthetic beacon would be delivered so early.

The 2157th century is now only halfway through, and it is unknown when the next century will begin.

After all, the Amber King has his own ideas, and he decides when to strike the hammer.

Unexpectedly, when Jade finished explaining the company's two decisions, she didn't mention Oswaldo Schneider at all.

That makes sense, though. This former pioneer, now the head of market development at Interstellar Peace Corporation, is nominally more powerful than Emerald and can be considered her superior.

But the other party is, after all, her direct superior, Diamond, and a formidable rival in this competition for a board seat.

The board of directors must be aware of the final verdict handed down by the Cosmic Court against Oswald Schneider.

Naturally, it's easy to guess that Oswald Schneider's "release from prison" is not far off.

Naturally, some people on the board of directors are paying attention to this matter.

I just don't know why jade wasn't mentioned.
