Chapter 54 048 The Blue Star People in an Uproar
"Breaking News! The Imperial Chancellor of the Alien Empire is actually an Earthling!"
"Bombshell! Alien Chancellor enters UN assembly as a hologram, expressing no intention of warring with Earth."
"Youth from C country becomes master of the alien fleet, Earth's crisis is averted, ushering in a turning point for interstellar civilization exchange?"
...
Bai Zhongqi's attendance at the UN assembly was just shy of half an hour, and afterwards, four Dragonfly drones flew away, leaving hundreds of diplomats and reporters with various thoughts in the assembly.
Since the UN meeting was almost globally broadcast, many viewers witnessed Bai Zhongqi's intrusion into the meeting with a hologram, and also witnessed this overly young-looking man joke and banter in front of global representatives and reporters, leaving the delegate from the United States looking deflated.
Regardless, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as it seemed Earth was not going to be destroyed. The aliens had extended an olive branch, and at this point, any rational national government on Earth wouldn't persist in foolishly confronting them anymore. Even the Lighthouse Country, which had clashed with the Iridium Star people several times before, soberly signed a ceasefire agreement.
Great Commander Beilevin issued an apology statement and transferred tens of millions of US dollars in reparations to the Iridium Star side.
This situation has sparked intense domestic and international attention and widespread discussion, with netizens from around the world posting comments.
"Wow, this is good. The Imperial Chancellor of the alien empire is also a person from C country. From now on, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs might as well say, 'The universe has always been an inseparable part of C country.'

"The guy above, zz, that remark also depends on strength, okay? Didn't you see how the UN representative was fawning? Even if that Chancellor was really from C country, C country doesn't acknowledge dual citizenship. Now, he's essentially renounced his C country citizenship and become someone from the Empire. This Iridium Star force could easily crush Eagle Sauce in seconds.
Right now, C country can't wait to cozy up to them and see if they can get some benefits. How could they possibly apply the 'since ancient times' ultimate move to them?"
"By the way, Chancellor-dada looks so handsome."
"Eh, sister spotted above. Sister, to tell you the truth, I'm also quite handsome. In the 18th ring of the Imperial Capital, I have an unbeatable starlight villa, with tractor pickups, and I graduated from a prestigious blue-shit school domestically."
Since the crisis seemed to be resolved, the atmosphere became more relaxed and people even began speculating about what kinds of opportunities Earth could gain through this extraterrestrial contact, with various opinions abounding. However, some with great savvy managed to dig up the Chancellor's identity.
"Bai Zhongqi, male, 26 years old, born in an obscure third-tier city in the domestic region, academically gifted, graduated from a domestic 985 university, went to the United States after finishing undergrad, studied Economics at San Francisco University..."
"Holy shit, bold move OP, you've doxxed him. Aren't you afraid Chancellor-dada will burn you into ashes in a fit of anger?"
"Might as well be thrown into space to become a human satellite!"
"You all don't know, let me tell you, Chancellor-dada is actually my second aunt's sister-in-law's neighbor's cousin's stepdad's mother's youngest son's classmate. I always knew he wasn't an ordinary guy, sometimes looking pensive and sometimes gazing at the stars. Surely, he was waiting all along for his fleet to pick him up."
"Do you guys really believe it? That a person from Earth is actually the reincarnation of an alien chancellor, and now he even commands a powerful and terrifying fleet."
"I really hope Chancellor could get the Iridium Star people to tell us what the universe is really like, whether there are different kinds of alien life, and what sort of passionate clashes exist between alien civilizations."
"Compared to that, I'm more worried. What if they come with ill intentions and want to rule over Earth?"
"Rule over Earth then, so what? Our Chancellor is from Country C and is so dashing. I wonder if he will hold a selection for a consort."
"You've watched too many palace dramas, girl. Are you aiming for the stars? Do you want a cosmic version of 'Empresses in the Palace'?"
"30 seconds online application, cash within 30 minutes. No collateral required, only a promissory note needed."
In the relatively joyous atmosphere of the discussion, a mishmash of topics crowded the space. Most people were optimistically waiting, hoping that the visit of the group of thirty to the Iridium Star's space city would bring more details about universe civilizations to Earth and also promote relations between Earth and Iridium Star.
Humanity has always been filled with endless curiosity and fantasy about the universe and the stars. The spirit of exploration into unknown realms remains as strong as ever. Centuries ago, people explored the oceans; when the oceans had been charted, they looked up at the sky. Unfortunately, lacking real powerful tools for space travel, humans could only wander in low Earth orbit.
Although many unmanned exploratory ships have been launched, no one has been able to witness what lies deeper in the universe.
The appearance of the Iridium Star people has given everyone a possibility. Through exchanges with them, Earth could learn and even come into personal contact with much more.
Compared to the general optimism of the people of Country C, some other countries' feelings were not as positive. The United States' internet users themselves were severely divided, which was quite evident in the previous elections. The decline of national power led to the fragmentation of a homogeneous society, with common values unable to unite different ethnic groups.
One part of the United States' internet users strongly criticized the Iridium Star people's military actions, considering aliens to be evil, and humanity should prepare to fight them; many Americans had become very accustomed to criticizing their own government's foolishness and recklessness, which led to hostilities with aliens.
After all, since the San Francisco incident, the Iridium Star people had not initiated attacks on the United States; it was an F-22 that fired first, and it was the CIA that detained relevant personnel using inhumane and immoral methods, leading to Iridium Star's retaliation. To many, the most evil seemed to be the United States government itself.
The indie crowd didn't care about these, just like many people in Country C, they hoped that through exchanges with the Iridium Star civilization, humanity's horizons could be broadened to witness a more wondrous universe.
Country C's two East Asian neighbors, on the other hand, had mixed feelings. The Iridium Star United Empire crushed the United States as if it were child's play, terrifying with its power, and yet the person who held this power was someone from Country C. Japan immediately began an investigation into His Imperial Majesty the Chancellor, only to be met with despair.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although he wasn't some extreme nationalist, he clearly resented Japan's series of actions. Many Japanese netizens were very sour about Country C having an alien chancellor.
As for the other neighbor known for its kimchi production, internet sleuths were already at work, ready to change the nationality of the Chancellor.
A South Rod netizen, unsure whether to be taken as a joke or seriously, posted, "I wonder which of our country's female artists His Majesty the Chancellor is interested in, Lim Yoona, IU, Zhiyan? If he likes any, we're willing to form an alliance through marriage; become a son-in-law of Great Han!"
Country C's naval forces immediately responded below, "Go where it's cool and stay there. What's so great about South Rod girls with silicone faces? Chancellor needs to find a beautiful woman from Central Plains with genuine national grace to be his Princess Consort."
