This meeting with the Star Realm Merchant Jalama was conducted through holographic images, learning about the Star Realm Merchant Civilization’s transformation into a wandering civilization.
Indeed, some individuals within the Star Realm Merchant Civilization enjoy a nomadic existence, though not all.
Many individuals still yearn for their former homeland.
As initially predicted, the Star Realm Merchant Civilization had to abandon their original planet and wander the Star Realm due to the pollution caused by the Abyss invasion.
It took three thousand years from when the Star Realm Merchant Civilization was first invaded by the Abyss to when they left their home star.
This time span set a new record for resisting the Abyss.
Before the emergence of the Star Realm Merchant Civilization, the longest recorded resistance against the Abyss was by the Elf Civilization, which lasted seven hundred years.
Based on the previous timeline, the Elf Civilization would fall during the Bone Sovereign crisis.
Although the surviving elves would later migrate to the Moon God Lake, it would be significantly difficult to revive their main city once it was lost.
Without a new turn of events, the Elf Clan’s resistance against the Abyss would ultimately remain at seven hundred years.
Now, with the information of the Star Realm Merchant Civilization, the record is refreshed.
The timespan of three thousand years is comparable to the history of Da Xia.
Lu Heng wished to gain more information about the Abyss, so he carefully watched the evolution process of the Star Realm Merchant Civilization.
In the holographic images, he saw the Star Realm Merchant Civilization struggle against the Abyss invasion, their home planet gradually falling, until they finally piloted ecological ships away from their home star.
After over ten thousand years of wandering, the Star Realm Merchant Civilization gradually developed into a wandering civilization.
As a result, the Star Realm Merchants possess an exceptional ability to maintain ecological balance.
A ten-kilometer diameter ecological ball capable of long-term ecological balance is not easily achieved.
While Lu Heng and Jalama were conversing, a light emerged from the direction of the teleportation device within the ecological ball.
A few seconds later, another Star Realm Merchant floated before the two.
"Human affairs should be handled by me, Jalama, you’re overstepping your boundaries." Chapters fırst released on novèlfire.net
Jalama immediately displayed a serious expression, retorting, "Azik, you have no authority over my affairs."
The Star Realm Merchant, referred to as Azik, landed in front of Lu Heng and stated with a slightly arrogant tone, "Human, my name is Azik, and I am the one truly in charge of human affairs, also known as Number One."
Lu Heng watched with interest the two Star Realm Merchants who had differing opinions and casually asked, "So, was the Creator Organization established by you?"
Azik admitted, "Yes, I created it. You need not worry, such an organization is of little concern to me, and I wouldn’t mind if you demolished it."
Jalama, with an unhappy expression, said, "Azik, this is my jurisdiction, I do not welcome your presence here."
Azik did not look back, continuing to speak to Lu Heng:
"The evolution of human civilization is advancing rapidly, following this pace, we can proceed with further contact.
"The original manager of the Creator Organization has been killed by you, so I wish to establish a new organization responsible for human affairs.
"I intend to invite you to be the new manager. The Sword Holder you’ve created is developing well and can be directly used as the organization responsible for human affairs.
"If you agree with my plan, I will arrange personnel to join the Sword Holder to carry out subsequent work.
"Of course, you will also receive ample rewards. The resources I offer will surely satisfy you."
After listening to his words, Lu Heng furrowed his brows.
The other party was actually attempting to swallow the Sword Holder.
As of now, the true background of the Sword Holder has not been disclosed.
Lu Heng has already invited the Elf Clan, Sea Demon Clan, Black Iron Dwarf, Sikes Civilization, and Bansel Clan to join the Sword Holder. These are civilizations with wisdom from the Otherworld.
Due to the Sword Holder Council’s cross-world nature, the binding force is not high, so the Elf Clan, Sea Demon Clan, and these civilizations join voluntarily.
If they are unwilling to contribute to the Sword Holder, Lu Heng would not, and could not, enforce it.
Thus, the Elf Clan, Sea Demon Clan, and these civilizations have not signed any paper documentation when joining the Sword Holder.
Lu Heng has not publicly disclosed this information on Blue Star.
In fact, publicizing it would make no difference, as another person approaching Queen Orelana, even if representing the Sword Holder, might not earn her recognition.
To some extent, it is due to Lu Heng’s relationship that these civilizations agreed to join the Sword Holder.
If anyone else were to manage the Sword Holder, the cross-world structure of the Sword Holder would disintegrate.
Lu Heng has not revealed the Otherworldly civilization members of the Sword Holder, so the Star Realm Merchants are unaware.
In Azik’s view, the Sword Holder is merely an organization of the Human World with significant power.
The purpose of the Creator Organization established by the Star Realm Merchants is to create an organization capable of decisively influencing the developmental progress of human civilization.
However, three years ago when the Abyss first descended, human civilization’s level was too low to be of concern to the Star Realm Merchants.
Azik randomly selected an agent from the Human World and, after establishing the Creator Organization, left it unattended.
Now that the Creator Organization has been destroyed and human civilization possesses a combat power close to a demigod’s level,
Coupled with the significance of the Reincarnation Source Material, the Star Realm Merchants have renewed their attention towards humans, leading to the events of today.
After listening to Azik’s demands, Lu Heng smirked mischievously and replied, "The Sword Holder is not within your reach."
Azik showed a surprised expression upon hearing these words, saying, "There is nothing that can’t be reached; the reason is nothing more than an unsettled price.
