Star Iron, after using the mod to make the Big Black Tower dark, the game became real

Meaning and spirituality of life are born from smiles; this is part of the philosophy of the Destiny of the Joyful Star God.

The dissenting vote of the God of Joy represents His own thoughts; He wants to watch the show.

Hanabi cast her vote of support, representing her free will to live.

She lived a life of "joy".

How joyful!

It is precisely because life possesses free will.

The star god belongs to the star god, and the messenger belongs to the messenger.

Only after feeling wronged will Ah Ha burst into laughter.

This is His philosophy, which He can proudly present to all the star gods.

Fireworks, an excellent messenger of joyful destiny.

He did not misjudge people.

Oswaldo raised his hand, silencing the chaotic murmurs in the meeting room.

"We can't let the situation get any worse."

“We accept the devaluation of credits across the universe, but we cannot accept their abolition. The Empire’s actions have touched the very foundation of the company. If that bastard Imperial Governor’s conspiracy succeeds, the company will collapse.”

"It's time to use force! Skip the Empire, implement liberal governance over those civilizations that are trying to dump credits, and let them support companies and trade with credits."

Free-style management?

Hearing this bizarre description, the employees were not surprised. There were too many dirty tricks in the company, and they had risen to their current senior management positions by virtue of their cunning and treachery.

Sacrificing the interests of other civilizations, ignoring their governments, trampling on their laws, and sending corporate employees to violently control the entire civilization.

They claimed that the empire had launched a brutal war and the company was protecting them.

They are all too familiar with this kind of aggression.

……

The Market Development Department has decided to focus all its efforts on stabilizing the civilization under the company's control, ensuring that credit points depreciate at a slower pace.

They bet on the Amber King's victory, and that the Empire would fall to the Amber King's hammer.

At that time, no matter how much the credit points have depreciated, they can still be upgraded.

As for how much blood of civilizations will be drawn during the process of advancement, and how many economic crises and energy wars will be triggered...

Who cares?

They are unable to empathize with the victims because they are not the ones who are hurt.

……

The strategic investment department is holding a meeting.

The atmosphere was similarly dull to that of the market development department.

Looking at the company's daily reports over the past few days, credit points are depreciating at an extremely rapid pace, along with countless boycotts and protests, and the Star Ocean Community's condemnation motion against the company...

Jadeite looked somber.

Topa quickly read through the daily newspapers, and with each one, beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

There are too many daily reports, none of them are good news, it's a complete rout!

They couldn't even control public opinion, and they couldn't hide any intelligence.

Any civilization can rely on the Senate platform provided by the Starry Sky Community to raise its demands.

Once a proposal is put forward, all community members can express their opinions.

That's what fairness is.

Then the company went downhill.

"No, we can't read it all. We can't even cover up the negative news. Right now, the entire Starsea Community is discussing how to secretly sell off credits."

"Some civilizations that are not afraid of corporations and are weaker than us cooperate with the Empire, using its influence to provide countless safe and reliable trading platforms."

"Those weaker civilizations safely sold their credits in exchange for real supplies."

Topa gets a headache just thinking about it.

How long has the concept of "survival" been around?

His followers are going to destroy the company!

There is no doubt that the Empire may be related to the Star God of Existence. The Robin, as the Existence Envoy, was deeply favored by the Empire's Governor-General Jiang Wei, which can lead to some inferences about the truth.

but……

What about the other surviving factions?

Those new forces that have nothing to do with the empire, have no grudges against the company, and are simply pursuing their own survival.

What "Ark of Salvation"...

It is said that its predecessor was an unsinkable behemoth. After changing its fate and gaining benefits, the entire civilization directly shifted from actively threatening other civilizations to ensuring its own survival.

It has become a pacifist ideology where everyone helps each other and perpetuates the cycle of life.

There is also the "Right to Life Oversight Committee".

Even more outrageous!

Extreme moralists are all living saints or fearless madmen!

Any act of infringement that violates the free will of life will be actively attacked by this force. They even dare to intercept the company's transport fleet. They are simply bandits!

"Credit points devaluation is a minor issue, I'm telling you, it's so minor it's almost insignificant—no matter how much it devalues, there's nothing we can do about it."

Toppa wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"The Empire's approach was too cunning; they ignited the anger and then withdrew."

"What the company is now fighting against is not the empire, but all the civilizations that the company has ever offended; forces that stand on the side of survival; and outsiders who are swayed by public opinion, who have no ulterior motives but simply want the company dead!"

The company is becoming the enemy of the universe.

Newcomer Civilization, having never even heard of the company's name, developed an extremely poor first impression of it under the influence of public opinion.

Even if they don't fight against the company, but quietly save civilizations from war, the company will still feel very uncomfortable.

Sand Gold rubbed his temples.

"So...it's a losing battle, we're doomed."

Everyone was talking about it.

"uncertain."

"Diamond believes that as long as the company can weather this period and trusts Amber King, we will eventually win!"

Topa fiddled with her phone and saw a news article. When she saw that it was published by "Empire," her heart immediately felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand. A fear stemming from instinct made her feel like she was suffocating.

The Empire's bloodless methods of plunging the company into a quagmire through public opinion were too terrifying, and Toppa developed a shadow over the Empire.

She checked the news.

Suddenly, his gaze froze.

"The Empire has put forward a new proposal."

"What is it?"

Everyone in the conference room was startled.

"You'll see when you see it..."

Toppa turned on the projector.

The bill is currently under heated debate in the Senate.

Many have speculated about how the Empire would destroy the Peace Corporation.

With their unparalleled naval gun firepower?

Or is it incredibly advanced technology?

But that probably won't work. The company is so big, and their resilience is evident to all.

If any other civilization were to face an empire, it would have collapsed long ago.

The empire provided the answer.

[Proposal: Amend the term "contract laborer"]

[Description: Civilizations lacking faster-than-light technology are considered "indigenous civilizations." Civilizations that actively intervene and civilize the indigenous population, turning them into indentured laborers, are classified as slave-based civilizations, and the indentured laborers are renamed indentured slaves.]

[Effect: The term "contract laborer" will be changed to "contract slave," and the system will be categorized as a form of slavery in the think tank.]

[7 votes in favor, 1 vote against, 2 abstention]

This proposal standardizes some erroneous information entries in the think tank of interstellar civilization.

The contract term "laborer" was changed to the contract term "slave".

Topa felt a chill all over his body.

Most of the company's employees signed unfair contracts, including those from humble backgrounds like Sand Gold, or even those who were born slaves.

He perfectly fits the description of the forcibly elevated indigenous civilization in the proposal.

"Ah."

The gold dust rubbed against the barcode on his neck.

His tone was melancholy.

"So... the Empire used a bill to turn me into a slave?"

Jade's expression was gloomy.

"No, if you are a slave, then the company's employees..."

Most of the company's employees fall into the category of indentured slaves.

It’s over.

This is going to be the laughingstock of the entire universe.

Chapter 96 The Newly Emerging Forces

Imperial territory, Onpharos system.

Jiang Wei didn't care what the effects of the proposal would be after it was published.

The company violated several interstellar laws, and their "diplomatic weight" was reduced to five percent of its original value.

The reduced diplomatic weight of this punishment makes it seem lenient, with no substantial property damage and no loss of life.

Actually.

The Starsea Community gives all civilizations the opportunity to participate in interstellar politics, and "diplomatic weight" represents the right to speak at the negotiating table.

Nowadays, companies can only propose motions, but they can no longer leverage their previous diplomatic influence to significantly increase their approval ratings.

They lost their voice.

The moral high ground in public opinion does not belong to them; instead, it is met with endless moral condemnation and hostility.

Just look at the resistance they face from countless civilizations in the universe today, and you'll know how terrible it is to lose diplomatic influence.

The civilization that holds the power of discourse is writing a new chapter in interstellar law.

For example, Immortal Ship, Family, Empire.

What do they want, and what benefits do they want to gain?

A simple "proposal" can bring benefits into one's hands.

What about the company?

They are the ones who suffer losses.
