Bai Zhongqi covered his face in frustration, finding it hard to witness the once mighty and mysterious Nan Ma reduce himself to this level. Although the content of Nan Ma's live stream wasn't particularly sensitive, it significantly tarnished the image of the Iridium Star people.

Nevertheless, there was a silver lining, as most ordinary individuals, still gripped by fear and concern over the alien fleet orbiting Earth, found Nan Ma's antics somewhat reassuring. Despite the Iridium Star people still being fearsome, the live stream made them appear less so, a bit more extraordinary, comedic like ordinary people, and even begging for money.

Nan Ma's live stream lasted less than half an hour, yet the speed at which he amassed wealth was terrifying—gathering over a million RMB in just 30 minutes. His fans competed fiercely to tip the streamer, and some even asked if they could boost him to the top of the charts, hoping the alien streamer would take them to new heights of fame.

Bai Zhongqi had no choice but to send Nan Ma an internal contact request from Iridium Star to stop the live stream.

To his surprise, Nan Ma replied, "Your Majesty, you can't deprive me of my fun, we Iridium Star people are sorely lacking in entertainment. I see now why you were reborn on Earth; it's so much fun here. Hahaha, I assure you, I will be careful not to reveal our secrets. If really necessary, maybe I should pay taxes to the Ruyi City government?"

With anyone else, Bai Zhongqi would have been more forceful, but Nan Ma was not someone he could easily control, not only because Nan Ma was not a public servant of Iridium Star, but also because pressuring him might drive him away.

Even with a powerful fleet at his disposal, Bai Zhongqi couldn't guarantee he could handle a Star Warrior master like Nan Ma, who could disappear without a trace if he so desired. At least on Iridium Star, Nan Ma would heed Bai Zhongqi's directives on major issues, serving as a trump card.

It was only a matter of time before Iridium Star would interact with other interstellar civilizations in the universe, and there could be beings similar to Star Warriors among them. Without Nan Ma, the United Empire of Iridium Star would be at a disadvantage.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Bai Zhongqi had to make some concessions to this unpredictable individual. He would send artificial intelligence to monitor Nan Ma's live streaming activities, ready to shut it down immediately if anything inappropriate occurred.

Before closing the communication, Nan Ma muttered, "So the winds of harmony have even reached Iridium Star."

Bai Zhongqi, completely out of patience, consoled himself by considering the errant comedian with superpowers as a symbol of cultural exchange between Iridium Star and Earth.

Nan Ma's brief half-hour live stream had already stirred major media attention nationwide and globally. For many, it was their first encounter with a live Iridium Star person, with some previously speculating about their appearance. Westerners had imagined Iridium Star people to resemble the wrinkly, large-headed form of ET, not expecting them to look Asian and even speak Mandarin Chinese.

This inevitably led people to speculate all sorts of theories.

On one forum, a post read: "Our Chinese heritage spans 5000 years, just like the Iridium Star people. I think Iridium Star and our country must share the same original roots."

Others speculated more wildly: "Maybe our Chinese civilization isn't originally from Earth at all. Perhaps the Iridium Star people brought it here, otherwise how could their Chancellor appear among us Chinese?"

"Your theory doesn't make sense, even if both civilizations evolved over 5000 years. The technological prowess of the Iridium Star people far exceeds ours, indicating a fundamentally different starting point."

"Iridium Star even has superhumans, I wonder if we could learn from them."

"Didn't you see the recorded video? That Iridium Star person said Star Warriors can't be taught. They appear without any signs. Calling him a superhuman is an understatement. He controls something akin to the God Particle, altering material mass and energy and freely converting between entropy increase and decrease, completely shattering our current physical theories."

The discussion and fantasy about Star Warriors triggered widespread public and governmental interest.

Professor Ding, just recovered from an illness, was briefed on these matters. Xiang Fei, visibly worn from coordinating decisions and actions, came for consultation. Although not a decision-maker, Xiang Fei's pivotal role left him exhausted.

"Professor Ding, what exactly is a Star Warrior?" asked Xiang Fei, gulping water after neglecting to hydrate in his busyness.

Professor Ding sighed, "There's still so much about Iridium Star we don't know. If what that Nan Ma person said is true, the existence of Star Warriors, in terms of technology and strategy, could surpass any other technology and resources Iridium Star has offered us.

We now understand that Star Warriors possess something like the God Particle within them, capable of manipulating mass and energy, things our current physics can't explain. Our existing standard model in particle physics has its flaws too. When you ask me what exactly a Star Warrior can do with Star Energy, I can't really say.

But from his ability to manipulate mass and force alone, if this power is extensive enough, labeling him as a superhuman would be an understatement—you might as well call him a god."

Xiang Fei was astounded, "Could it really be that incredible? That's just unscientific!"

Professor Ding remained calm, "What we habitually label as unscientific are simply things that challenge our existing knowledge and worldview. From challenging heliocentrism to overturning the ether hypothesis, along with the theories of evolution and relativity, these were all revolutionary, and people tend to mock what they don't understand until they realize their knowledge is outdated.

As for Star Warriors, it's definitely explainable, even if not fully comprehensible even with Iridium Star's scientific theories. It's also a delightful realization, knowing that in our pursuit of understanding the universe and seeking truth, we're not alone in feeling dwarfed by the vastness."

Nodding, Xiang Fei asked, "Do you think there are Star Warriors on Earth?"

Professor Ding speculated, "Perhaps, but due to our lack of understanding or deliberate concealment, we're not aware they are Star Warriors. We could consider searching for potential Star Warriors among the public in the future. However, considering how advanced this is, it's not advisable to invest too many resources. Just keeping an eye out should suffice."
