After explaining the significance of this matter with so excitent, the director of the Cleansing Bureau emphasized with hopeful eyes:
"Ladies and gentlen! This isn't six thousand or sixty thousand, but six million! A whole six million potential Cleaner seedlings! This is an unprecedented opportunity!
Even if only one-thousandth of them can harness anomalous objects and beco new Cleaners, it would double the number of the entire Cleansing Bureau! And if one percent of them beco Cleaners..."
That would be a full sixty thousand Cleaners, more than ten tis the current number of personnel at the Cleansing Bureau!
Imagining the benefits that this "relocation of the remnants" could bring in accordance with the director's words, not only did the three previously opposing councillors fall silent, but even Leon found it hard to speak.
Exchanging ten years of contraction for six million potential Cleaners who have undergone initial imrsion, when calculated this way, it's indeed worth any risk. But the issue is...
"It's not a matter of worth!"
Seeing the councillors seemingly persuaded by the future depicted by the director, Taurus stood up with a hint of anger between his brows and shouted:
"Director, when you decided on this plan, did you communicate with the Old Soil remnants over there? Do they know you're preparing to relocate all of them? And... do they know how many casualties this migration might cause?"
"..."
After hearing Taurus's inquiry, the director's excited expression slightly froze, then he lowered his eyes amidst the gazes of the councillors and gently shook his head, saying:
"I've only found the Space-Ti Beacon for now, and I'm on the way to the plane where the Old Soil remnants reside. But moving out of Old Soil is also beneficial to them, so they should not reject it."
Is it that they wouldn't reject it, or you don't want them to refuse?
Looking at the director with so disappointnt, Taurus shook his head and said:
"Director, the plan you've proposed is indeed excellent. It can bring unimaginable foundational wealth to our Cleansing Bureau, and even when the next generation of children grow up, the Bureau might beco stronger than ever before. But the price of all this has to be borne by our compatriots!
The Four Pillar Gods aren't fools, nor are other more potential enemies. They will definitely try their best to stop this long migration, and under the current situation of the Bureau, there's simply no way to protect their safety.
And of the six million you ntioned... Director, how many of these people you plan to bring out of Old Soil do you think can survive to reach the present world after this ten-year migration?"
"..."
"I agree with Taurus Pavilion's opinion."
Looking at the unwavering Taurus who chose kindness and compassion, Leon, having understood the situation, no longer stayed silent but stepped forward to stand beside Taurus and clearly expressed his opposition:
"The Old Soil remnants are human just like us. The sacrifice of this plan is too great, with nurous inevitable casualties over ten years. It's too risky and too radical, too cruel for them.
I think the plan isn't unfeasible, but the tifra must be extended, intensity should be eased, and at least the most basic safety must be guaranteed before arranging it, otherwise, the outco might be counterproductive."
"Aquarius is right."
After glancing at Taurus and Leon, who stood out to oppose, Cancer councillor spoke again, expressing dissatisfaction with the plan.
"If this really happens, these people who are imrsed through the [Star Gate], aside from gaining qualifications to be Cleaners, will undoubtedly continuously witness the dispersion and casualties of their kin. Under such circumstances, the Cleaners 'cultivated' may not be able to maintain their inner kindness."
"What you say makes sense, I can actually understand your concerns."
After looking at Leon and the two councillors who clearly opposed, a trace of regret flashed across the director's eyes, and then he calmly emphasized:
"But concerns aside, opportunities are opportunities... The space-ti of Old Soil is unstable and cannot be freely accessed at all tis. Whether this relatively stable period of space-ti can maintain for ten years is uncertain.
Moreover, the most troubleso Four Pillar Gods now have one captured, two wounded, and the remaining Azure Sleep has temporarily entered a dormant state, won't be causing trouble for a long ti. This kind of opportunity is really hard to co by again.
So it's not that I'm being aggressive, but this is the heaven-sent opportunity. If we can't grasp this chance, it will be difficult to bring [Hope] back, and perhaps never possible again."
Maybe... the director's idea isn't wrong?
After listening to the director's statent, the attitude of Scorpio, Virgo, Capricorn councillors who had already swayed now began to waver again.
Compared to the chaotic space-ti crisis-laden Old Soil, the present world is certainly in a better condition. Such migration for the Old Soil remnants can't be said to be entirely bad.
And just as the director said, if we can't grasp this unprecedented opportunity, it will be difficult to bring [Hope] back again,
"Joan, Aquarius."
After glancing at the councillors who were wavering again, the director called Taurus and Leon once, then spoke earnestly:
"This is the [Hope] we've been longing for unknown years, and finally found after great difficulty! I think it shouldn't be abandoned like this.
