SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family

Chapter 308 They Need A Wake Up Call

The room in the Xu family subspace was filled with a quiet hum as the holograms displayed the aftermath of the battles.

Xu Qianghua leaned back in his chair, his eyes scanning the scenes of destruction and the exhausted cultivators returning to their bases.

The atmosphere over there was heavy, but it lacked the fear or despair often seen in movies from the old world.

The cultivators didn't have a normal expression either—it was somewhere in between, a mix of exhaustion and quiet resolve.

As he observed, Xu Qianghua answered the question Liu Meiying had asked earlier.

"This planet needs to wake up," Xu Qianghua said, breaking the silence. His tone was calm but firm.

"We've been here for so many years, and most people still lack real-life combat experience. That has slowed down their growth. These Zerg showed up at the perfect time.

This will give them the wake-up call they need, making them understand there are other races beyond this world."

Liu Meiying pursed her lips. "Yes, but this also puts the entire planet at risk. It's a double-edged sword."

Xu Qianghua nodded. "It is. But this is the only way to push past the stagnation we're facing. Growth has slowed down, and cultivation has become less effective."

Leaning closer, Liu Meiying pressed herself lightly against his arm, her ample chest brushing against him as she added, "That may be true, but do you really think the world is ready for this? Fear of the unknown can easily lead to chaos."

Xu Qianghua felt the softness on his arm and momentarily lost focus. Turning his head slightly, his eyes landed on her, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Fear is unavoidable, but ignorance is worse. If the top families don't understand the threats beyond this world, how can they prepare for what's coming?"

Su Lian, sitting comfortably on his lap, noticed his reaction and pouted slightly. She felt him twitch under her but said nothing, quietly enjoying being spoiled by him as the discussion continued.

Bai Lingyun crossed her arms, her expression skeptical. "You've thought this through. But you're putting a lot of faith in these families to act rationally."

"It's not faith," Xu Qianghua corrected her. "It's a necessity. They may be prideful, but they're not stupid.

Once they see what the Zerg can do, they'll realize they don't have the luxury to wait."

The room fell quiet, the weight of their conversation settling over them. The holograms continued to display the devastation left by the Zerg, showing the ruins and the battered cultivators regrouping.

After a while, Xu Qianghua spoke again. "The world needs to understand that isolation isn't safety. This mindset is what's causing stagnation.

The reports from the Shadow members confirm this. Many families who have acquired spaceships are sealing them away, refusing to use them.

They think they can avoid danger by pretending it doesn't exist. But there are others out there—beings who see us as nothing more than prey. If we don't adapt, we'll be consumed."

Su Lian tightened her grip on his arm, her expression serious. "And the Zerg are just the beginning, aren't they?"

Xu Qianghua nodded. "They are. And they won't be the last. But that does not mean that we will need to be afraid. Instead, this is something we need if we want to upgrade our planet."

"Conflict, wars, and death might seem like bad things, but they are needed in this ever-evolving void, as without it, the whole place would come to a standstill.

However, with the right preparations, we can minimize the risks and losses."

"That's true," Liu Meiying murmured, thinking.

"This is the only way to keep this world safe," Xu Qianghua stated firmly. "Without the fear of death, people will lose their drive.

We'll become complacent and lazy, unable to see the danger until it's too late."

"So, we need a major enemy for us to change our views," Bai Lingyun concluded, her expression grim.
