Submit or Get Out

What could they possibly use to contend with China?

Optimus Prime now had a general understanding of China's strength. The more he learned, the deeper his fear became.

Perhaps Chen Xuan might have been lying, but Optimus Prime would not place his hopes on that possibility.

In Optimus Prime's view, Chen Xuan's words were almost certainly true.

"Anything that appears on Earth is the property of China. Earth now belongs to China. You aliens should go back wherever you came from."

Chen Xuan looked coldly at Optimus Prime and continued, "Earth does not reject aliens. But if you want to come to Earth again, you must submit an application. Otherwise, we will regard it as an invasion, and you will bear the consequences yourselves."

Humanity would never place its fate in the hands of aliens. Even if Optimus Prime repeatedly insisted that he was a good person, Chen Xuan could not possibly believe him.

Those not of our kind are bound to harbor different intentions.

Perhaps Optimus Prime truly was a good person, but so what? Would humanity hand over its fate to him just because of that?

How utterly ridiculous!

At any rate, the Chinese would not believe him.

China did not even believe in Heaven. It would defy fate and use its own hands to create its own future. Why would it hand its fate to some mere alien?

"Just as you said, if the AllSpark could bring danger to this world, then all the more reason for me to take it back to China."

Only China's power could better protect the AllSpark. With strength like yours, leaving the AllSpark with you would be a waste.

"What? Do you have an objection?"

Seeing Optimus Prime remain silent, Chen Xuan asked expressionlessly.

"..."

Optimus Prime had nothing to say.
