It was still the same meeting hall in Pearwood World. Xu Jingming was absent this time. In fact, Xu Jingming had only participated in one meeting at the highest level since the Pearwood Group was established.
And today, there were eight people in the meeting hall. Xu Jingming's wife and Pearwood Group's first executive officer, Li Miaomiao, sat at the head of the table.
"Chief Executive, it's been less than 20 hours since Mr. Xu sent the handwritten letter. The 31 civilizations in the seven galaxies have agreed to our planet-purchasing proposal. The overall expenditure for this purchase is estimated to be about 6,215 trillion cosmic dollars, with a maximum deviation of one trillion cosmic dollars," Floking reported as he looked at the projection in front of him.
"Mmm." Li Miaomiao—who was sitting at the head of the table—nodded. "Next, our group needs to be fully mobilized to assist these 31 civilizations in their migration!"
"We've already accumulated enough experience from Earth's mass migration into the two galaxies," Xu Lixing said with a smile. "The mass migration looks very complicated, but we've discovered from experience that it's rather simple. We just need to follow the procedures."
"Lixing, you'll be in charge of the migration," Li Miaomiao said.
In fact, more than 90% of the corporation's matters were managed by her daughter.
"Alright." Xu Lixing was also very confident. After all, she had been in charge of this huge corporation for nearly 500 years and was very experienced in every aspect. Coupled with the huge think tank and the powerful AI system, management became much easier.
"Everyone." Li Miaomiao glanced at everyone. "Jingming greatly values the expansion into the seven galaxies. You have to give it your all."
"Yes, Chief Executive," everyone immediately replied.
…
One of the habitable planets in the Valley Civilization's territory, Planet Yuelan.
"During this planetary migration, all humans on Yuelan will be relocated to a galaxy 30 million light-years away. There, we will terraform a new habitable planet and also name it Yuelan. On New Yuelan, we will replicate almost all the cities and improve what's there to offer."
"On New Yuelan, there will be the same living environment and better commercial and entertainment facilities! Housing will also be the same as now. Moreover, every resident will receive 1.5 million Valley dollars as compensation for the migration…"
Above the planet, a mighty voice constantly announced the various preferential measures for this migration.
Countless people on Yuelan listened to the lecture and discussed.
"Move 30 million light-years away? Will it be dangerous?"
"What's there to worry about? The billions of people on Yuelan can be transported on a single super-large spaceship. It's easy and simple. All the luggage and goods will be relocated by the AI robots. In any case, I think the migration is a great development!"
"1.5 million compensation for everyone's migration. That bastard, Tongji, loves giving birth the most, and he has 15 children through biological womb technology. His days were tight previously, but with this migration… Including his elders, won't his family receive at least 30 million in compensation? He struck it rich all of a sudden!"
"I'm so envious. I can't even have a child now."
"My entire family will get a total of ten million in relocation compensation. Hahaha…"
People discussed.
Suddenly, the voice in the sky changed.
"Emergency announcement: According to the latest decision of the Valley Civilization's Supreme Council, our Valley Civilization will upgrade to 15 Lv. 1 habitable planets from the original three Lv. 1 habitable planets."
"The cost of residents migrating to a Lv. 1 habitable planet has decreased to five million Valley dollars! The list of new Lv. 1 habitable planets is as follows: Zhenzhou, Yuelan, Feiyu…"
With this announcement, everyone on Yuelan was stunned at first before they cheered.
"Wow!"
"A Lv. 1 habitable planet!!!"
"Our Yuelan has been upgraded to a Lv. 1 habitable planet! Hahaha, a virtual mainframe will be built. All of us can enter the virtual world!"
"I never expected to be able to use a VR headset in my life! It's been my dream all along! I'm so excited!"
"In the past, the threshold for migration to a Lv. 1 habitable planet was 30 million. Now, it has dropped to five million. Most importantly… we don't need to migrate. We are already on Yuelan. Hahaha, we've made a killing."
"Thank you to the Pearwood Group and Earth!"
Everyone on Yuelan cheered.
More than 99% of the commoners of the Valley Civilization were very satisfied with the migration measures, but in fact, the upper echelons of the civilization weren't that happy. They praised Lord Wu Ming, but they were indignant.
"The Valley Civilization has 71 habitable planets after all. It's impossible to find 71 planets in the same galaxy for us to migrate."
"After discussions with the Pearwood Group, our Valley Civilization will be scattered across the three Star Zones and 15 galaxies. They will ensure that every galaxy has at least three habitable planets." The upper echelons of the Valley Civilization looked at the final decision.
To the commoners, there wasn't much change moving from Yuelan to New Yuelan. However, they were completely scattered across the entire civilization.
"Some planets in the galaxy can be terraformed into habitable planets. Can't we think of a way to get our Valley Civilization's habitable planets closer to each other? At the very least, they should all be in the same Star Zone," a council member said.
"This is already the best choice. A portion of the habitable planets we migrated were terraformed."
"Earth's civilization is expanding and annexing seven galaxies, and 31 civilizations need to migrate on a large scale. However, resources on habitable planets are very tight. The current migration plan is already the best."
The upper echelons of the civilization were helpless.
There was more wealth, but the civilization's territory was to be in a state of disunity. It became difficult to communicate with each other.
It couldn't be helped! Lord Wu Ming was already very kind.
There were many annexation plans that were ten times or a hundred times more ruthless in the universe. One couldn't expect everything to be perfect after being annexed.

Of the 31 civilizations in the seven galaxies, a large number of habitable planets were preparing for the mass migration.
At the same time, the destinations they were about to migrate to needed major construction. Some planets chose to replicate the original planet's main cities, while others chose new design templates. In short, construction was underway according to different requirements.
Earth's three galaxies were also promoting the excavation plan.
Milky Way, Beamstar.
"Liu Yichen, are you registering for the excavation plan? Registration will begin at 8 p.m. tonight," a young man and woman discussed by the bridge.
"I'm definitely signing up." Liu Yichen looked at the beautiful habitable planet in front of him. "The competition on Beamstar is too intense; it's very difficult to find a good job here. The competition in the virtual world is even crazier."
The girl fell into thought.
"Fengqi, come with me." Liu Yichen looked at the girl. "The two of us will go to a new habitable planet and build a family that belongs to us."
Yan Fengqi froze. "Really."
Liu Yichen nodded. "Trust me! You know my old man, right?"
"Your father is a cosmic lifeform, a true cosmic citizen." Yan Fengqi nodded.
"He relied on excavation to get rich," Liu Yichen said. "Back on Earth, my father and his family of five chose to excavate and come to Beamstar. Back then, as long as they came, they would be given a one-square-kilometer farm. Choosing the city gave one ownership of a building not less than 10,000 square meters. My father and the others chose a three-square-kilometer farm and a building in the city occupying more than 20,000 square meters."
"Later on, the population of Beamstar increased, and large-scale city construction was needed. The farm under my father's name was requisitioned, and the requisition fee alone was 130 million cosmic dollars. My father used 100 million cosmic dollars to transform himself into a cosmic lifeform."
"My father has had more than 100 sons in the past 400 years thanks to the rent he collects. He has even more grandchildren." Liu Yichen lowered his head and said, "I can't make a name for myself in the family at all. The old man can only keep me from starving to death. If I want a good life, I'll have to rely on myself."
Yan Fengqi looked at Liu Yichen and nodded with a smile. "Alright, I'll join you."
"Mmm."
Liu Yichen held the girl's hand. "Let's go to a new habitable planet and work hard together."
…
As the excavation plan from before was too successful, although there were a total of seven galaxies awaiting excavation, Earth had a total of three galaxies with a population of trillions.
This excavation only needed about 100 billion people.
Therefore, the registration ended half an hour after the registration. Liu Yichen and Yan Fengqi registered immediately and chose to be part of the excavation team.

In his personal space in the virtual world.
"Jingming, take a look." Li Miaomiao handed the final plan to her husband.
"Oh?" Xu Jingming looked at the projection.
"There are too many civilizations to migrate in a short period of time. Other than some habitable planets that can be bought, we've also found some suitable planets to terraform into habitable planets. We've finally barely gathered what we needed for migration," Li Miaomiao said. "Most of the 31 civilizations that migrated have reduced the number of habitable planets. Those that originally had nine habitable planets are usually reduced to about six habitable planets after migration."
Xu Jingming nodded.
A habitable planet could accommodate anywhere from 1.5 billion people to 3 billion people. A slight increase in the planet's population density could reduce the number of habitable planets needed.
"How many new habitable planets will be terraformed?" Xu Jingming asked.
"126," Li Miaomiao replied. "They are all very suitable for terraforming after our studies. On average, the cost of terraforming a habitable planet is 320 billion cosmic dollars."
"Terraforming a new habitable planet is considered a contribution to the entire cosmic human race," Xu Jingming said.
"As the premium is 100%, the wealth possessed by many civilizations has increased greatly. Therefore, many have bought virtual mainframes. I believe these civilizations can also nurture more cosmic lifeforms," Li Miaomiao said.
Xu Jingming nodded. "Alright, tell me when the migration is complete. I have something rather urgent to do, so I'll go offline first."
"Okay." Li Miaomiao watched Xu Jingming quickly go offline with a complicated expression.
…
In reality, in a residence in a space pirates' lair.
The imitation method allows me to sort out my karma. Xu Jingming wore a black robe and sat cross-legged. What I care about the most is firstly my family, and secondly, my homeworld, Earth. These two things have been sorted out quite smoothly.
After sorting out the karma, Xu Jingming could sense the changes in his body. He felt his compatibility with Master of the Abyssal Void's figure increase.
