Within the Virtual Universe's Human Temple, the proposal to abolish slavery passed by an overwhelming margin without surprise. All that remained was to formulate new regulations for emancipating slaves, and dedicated personnel were assigned to handle those matters.
Afterward, everyone who had watched the public execution broadcast across the entire human race learned of the abolition of slavery. The five great human powers jointly announced: From this day onward, any economic activity related to slavery would be deemed illegal income. All those engaged in the slave trade would be uniformly treated as space pirates and face expulsion and wanted notices throughout the human race.

For a time, unrest spread throughout Human Territory. After all, the chain of interests tied to the slave trade ran extremely deep. Some families had even built their entire livelihoods around slave trading, so expecting them to cease such activities immediately was clearly impossible.
But reform always came with bloodshed and sacrifice. Starting from the High Universe Nations and working downward level by level, slave-trading groups that stubbornly resisted were wiped out without exception. During the process, some High Universe Nations discovered that certain remote minor nations had been conducting slave trade on a nationwide scale. It was utterly horrifying, but it also strengthened humanity's upper echelons' determination to abolish slavery.
