Hearing Selles's words, everyone couldn't help but exchange glances, their hearts filled with dread.
As expected of Americans, their hearts were indeed ruthless. They spoke of outright extermination, a thought that hadn't even crossed the minds of the others.
Vinson was silent for a moment. His ancestors had done such things, but he was a modern man now and certainly wouldn't commit such heinous acts.
Selles wanted to do this to claim the entire new continent, legally defining it as American territory, which meant the new continent must have been uninhabited by humans.
"If these 'primitives' harm my English citizens, then I will agree to your plan!"
Vinson said with a solemn tone.
He wouldn't kill without reason, but if these primitives truly harmed Prince Jack, he would show no mercy!
Germany and other countries also stepped forward, taking the same stance as Vinson.
Deng He hesitated for a moment, but then nodded, "I am the same. As long as they do not harm my Chinese subjects, then we Chinese will not harm them in return!"
He then looked up at Selles and said sternly, "Selles, if you dare to commit inhumane acts in this modern society, we will certainly not stand idly by. Even if we cannot stop you, we will expose all your wicked deeds!"
The Russian representative also stepped forward, looking at Selles with a cold smile and said:
"Indeed, if your America dares to do such a thing, then be prepared to be condemned by the whole world!"
Selles's expression turned grim. He knew that China and Russia would strongly oppose this.
"You should know that the appearance of humans on this new continent is not good for any of us, only detrimental!"
"The best outcome is that there are no humans on this new continent, and if there are, there must not be!" he said, his voice devoid of emotion.
This was the hint he had received from Congress before his departure.
The logic was simple: the modern society was called modern precisely because of the existence of order!
If there were humans on this new continent, then from the perspective of international law and jurisprudence, the new continent would belong to the indigenous humans.
If they wanted to extract various resources from the new continent, they would have to obtain permission from the humans on the new continent, which would be a very troublesome process and would require some cost.
But if it were unclaimed land, it would be much easier. Whoever arrived first claimed it, and they could dig up as many resources as they wanted without any restrictions.
The representatives of Japan and a few other countries close to America stepped forward, fully supporting Selles's plan.
Others understood this in their hearts. Although they were tempted, they dared not make a decision without orders from their superiors.
Moreover, there were still countries like China that were resolutely opposed to such inhumane behavior.
As long as they dared to act, these countries would definitely expose the matter and ruin their reputations.
This was no longer the era of a decade or two ago when international public opinion was entirely controlled by the West. Now, China and other countries were gradually gaining a voice in public opinion, and they dared not take this risk.
In the end, Selles's resolution was rejected by everyone, which made Selles and his companions look extremely displeased.
They harbored even greater hatred for China and Russia!
Deng He and the others didn't care much. The relationship with America was already irreconcilable, so adding a little more fuel to the fire wouldn't matter.
The group reconvened to discuss plans for searching for clues in the Giant King's Forest.
Ultimately, the decision was made to have special forces lead the way, entering the forest directly to search for the missing passengers.
...
On a distant small hill.
Thousands of guards, a dense mass, were already fully prepared, exuding an oppressive aura.
From the front, Bai Zhan's extremely angry voice boomed, "What a bunch of Earthlings who don't know their place! Not only do they call us primitives, but they even plan to exterminate us? How dare they!"
Bai Zhan's gaze was icy, his teeth grinding audibly.
After absorbing the memory fragments, he had mastered the Chinese language and had been eavesdropping on the conversations between these Earthlings.
From their fragmented words, switching between Chinese and other Earth languages, he understood their intentions.
They actually intended to exterminate all humans on the Great Wilderness and claim it for themselves!
Although the one speaking Chinese had strongly rejected this later, it still ignited a furious rage within Bai Zhan, making him extremely angry!
Fan Cheng's expression also turned cold.
His Majesty had said to try to coexist peacefully with these Earthlings, and he naturally followed his Majesty's wishes. But he hadn't expected that while they sought peace, these Earthlings would be so ungrateful and attempt to exterminate them and occupy the Great Wilderness?
This made Fan Cheng both angry and amused! These Earthlings were truly arrogant enough to say anything?
They even spoke of exterminating cultivators, truly believing that with their thermal weapons, they could deal with the tens of thousands of cultivators in the Great Gan Dynasty?
Furthermore, the Great Wilderness was not only home to the Great Gan Dynasty but also the Great Jin Dynasty in the Northern Region. And the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom in the Western Region's Beast Mountain.
Any one of these could easily overpower the entire Earth's forces.
With such a disparity in strength, the Earthlings' words were utterly ridiculous!
Fan Cheng said coldly, "These Earthlings are truly insatiably greedy. I originally thought they only intended to enter the Great Wilderness to search for the more than two hundred Earthlings who went missing."
"But I never expected that their goal was to covet the Great Wilderness and its precious resources and wealth!"
His initial slight good impression of Earthlings instantly turned into deep disgust!
Bai Zhan felt the same. He said fiercely, "Old Fan, I think there's no need to negotiate with these Earthlings. Just exterminate them all! Such greedy mortals are not worthy of peaceful coexistence with the Great Gan!"
He exuded killing intent, wishing he could descend and slaughter all the Earthlings!
Although Fan Cheng was angry, he had not lost his reason. After calming down, he said, "Although these Earthlings are greedy, it is somewhat normal. Moreover, not all Earthlings are greedy and ruthless."
He pointed out that these Earthlings were composed of different national forces and were not a monolithic bloc.
The Earthling who spoke of exterminating them was a white man with golden hair, from a country on Earth called America.
As for the person from China, what he said was quite reasonable. At least he stood in opposition to America, which made Fan Cheng's impression of Earthlings slightly better.
