Great Trend

The great trend was a river.

Going with the current was not only easy but fast. If you charged upstream against the risks, surviving would already be good enough, let alone making any progress.

It had been around three or four months since the Explorer Program began. Some nearby worlds had already seen three waves of arrivals and departures, while most exploration worlds had gone through two rounds of "flights."

If only the potentially popular worlds were counted, more than a dozen groups had already gone.

The conflicts destined to happen, the fundamental contradictions caused by competing interests, were bound to erupt.

"Being early is no match for arriving at the right time. The unrest will need to continue for a while. Continuing to head out now carries risks that are a little too uncontrollable."

At this point, Lu PingAn had to consider the situation in the other worlds as well.

Some worlds had probably already become war zones. Both sides had fought themselves into a frenzy and returned to their homeworlds for reinforcements, causing internal conflicts on Earth to escalate rapidly.

The chaos would naturally continue for a while. Even if this world reached some sort of agreement, it would take time to relay it to the other worlds. More troublesome still...

"Even if they sign some 'Peace Agreement' or rules of 'no unprovoked attacks,' whether they can enforce them is one matter. Even if the orders reach every region, will those otherworld companies and independent teams obediently comply? They may not even take their own home country's laws seriously."

The prerequisite for such a "consensus" was
