Chapter 118

"This star river diamond ring is so pretty, does it mean eternal love? Oooh, that's nice." Tang Bai got misty-eyed, "Ah this feather diamond ring is also beautiful, what does it mean ......"

Engagement rings are less formal, more flexible in style, and affordable for Xie Ruhang, but wedding bands are a different story.

The more expensive the proposal ring, the more important it was to the wife, symbolizing the alpha's regard for the omega as the apple of his eye.

Under normal circumstances, Xie Ruhang would not be able to afford a wedding ring valued in planets.

Grandpa Tang had taken this into consideration early on, and had set the reward for the Mecha Cup champion to be a pigeon egg-sized piece of magic silver.

Magic silver, today's most fashionable and expensive rare metal, if you can use such a big magic silver to make a wedding ring, it will be more dignified than any other kind of wedding ring.

"So far only the Federation has been able to mine magic silver, and although no one has been able to figure out the exact conditions that inspire magic silver, it's very attractive to the contestants." Tang Bai was afraid that Xie Ruhang was under too much pressure, he swore, "Brother Xie, don't worry, no matter whether you can win the championship or not, we can get engaged, it's just a matter of how soon or how late we get engaged."

Xie Ruhang looked at Tang Bai, who was all about him, and the corner of his lips curved into a subtle arc.

Separated from Tang Bai, Xie Ruhang goes to the school's training room to break in his new mech. At first, Xie Ruhang prepares himself for the chirpiness of the crowd, figuring that other than the fat chirp mech Tang Bai customized for him, the other alpha pilots in the training room should all have awesome mechs to fly.

The thought was so strong that he pushed open the door to the training room and heard the deafening "Widows and Orphans".

Xie Ruhang's eyelids jumped, he raised his head, and saw Gu Tunan wearing a green mech helmet, sitting expressionlessly on a sad frog-shaped mech, his whole body exuding an aura of lovelessness.

Xie Ruhang : "......?"

Xie Ruhang politely inquired, "As I recall, your water combat mech is called the Auger into the Sea?"

Gu Tunan was silent for a moment, "Professor Wang made some changes to the shape of the mech at Tang Bai's suggestion."

Xie Ruhang : "...... Well changed." Wonderfully changed and quacked.

Looking around, among a group of hardcore cute mechs, Xie Ruhang piloting his fat chirp mech suddenly found an unprecedented sense of superiority--

Mighty A Moe A. It's well deserved.

Tang Bai runs to visit Bai Zhi's omega conservation society, which was founded long ago by Bai Zhi and has recently been investigating specific data on AO divorces.

"After Mr. Lai's divorce went viral on the internet, the Federation set off a wave of divorces, and guess which age group of AOs has the highest divorce rate?" Bai Zhi asked as he pushed up his monocle.

"Elders about the same age as Uncle Lai, I guess." Tang Bai guessed.

Bai Zhi shook his head as he showed Tang Bai the statistical charts, only to see that the age group with the highest divorce rate was actually the grandparents' generation, and most of the people who filed for divorce were omega parties.

-- "I've always wanted to get a divorce, I was worried about being laughed at for getting a divorce, and after enduring it for most of my life, I was going to just go to my grave, but now that I see that Li Songyun, that child, can start a new life by getting a divorce, I want to give it a try too."

-- "The kids have families, I'm going to live for myself for once."

-- "I've spent most of my life being a jerk, and in my last few decades, I don't want to be a cow for someone else, I want to be good to myself."

--"In this life, we haven't held hands once, this should be what Li Songyun calls cold violence, that old man in my family doesn't love me, I want to change someone else's white head."

......

The grandparents on the profile have gray hair, and at this age they seem to have nothing to do with love or the future, but the words they leave behind contain intense and vivid emotions.

Bai Zhi's fingers run over the photographs as he whispers, "We are witnessing a social change."

Tang Bai raised his eyes to Bai Zhi in a stunned manner, the Bai Zhi in the book seemed to have said the same thing, only the person he was talking to was Xie Ruhang.

Bai Zhi took off his monocle, which was a decorative accessory, and when he wore it, it added a touch of elegance to his beautiful face, but when he took it off, he seemed to be much younger all of a sudden.

Under Tang Bai's bewildered gaze, Bai Zhi suddenly and somewhat mischievously took Tang Bai's hand, "Come, I'll take you to see what we've done for the world."

They stepped out of the tall and flashy building and headed towards the noisy plaza, which was a sunset red dating corner set up by the omega protection society, on which there were many elderly people talking to each other, and in which Tang Bai also saw Admiral Gu accompanying an old friend on a blind date with a reluctant look on his face.

They walked out of the plaza and walked in front of an ordinary residential building, Tang Bai listened to Bai Zhi softly, "You know what? There's an omega here who suffered domestic violence from her husband, and after he watched the live broadcast of you and Mr. Lai, he finally made up his mind and successfully divorced with the help of the association."

Tang Bai got into Bai Zhi's hovercar, which drove to a Tang family property, "Your father funded the creation of a food processing plant for our association, which takes in a lot of omega employees."

"Just in time for the Mecha Cup to be held, it was felt that the polluting energy crystal processing plants in the slums needed to be revamped, and I heard that your father was interested in opening a factory in the slums."

As the hovercar continues on its way, Tang Bai sees Bai Zhi's car with a sunflower energy gun of his design, which looks like an unusual car ornament with petals that rotate on their own.

"By the way, I hope the school is open, the road is fixed, and the house is still being built."

Bai Zhi looks into the distance and sees the muddy road leading to the slums being made smooth, with slum children running freely along the roadside, playing with each other with their backpacks.

The First Star Corps sent people to be stationed in the slums, and the slums, which were originally chaotic in terms of law and order, got an unprecedented improvement, and it was said that on the first day that the First Star Corps came in, anyone who disturbed the order would be arrested on the spot, and all the prisons in the vicinity of the slums were then filled up.

No one dared to start a conflict in the slums during this time, the streets were loaded with surveillance, military and military school volunteers were everywhere, and even omega could walk the streets of the slums alone.

"Tang Bai, thank you for making me realize that the fate of each of us in this world is closely linked." Bai Zhi said softly.

Each of their destinies is closely intertwined, as evidenced by the fact that now he and Tang Bai are the two who dare to drive into the slums.

When the day comes when every corner of the Federation is orderly and stable, with tall buildings, and both the poor and the omega can sit in bright classrooms, learn together, and struggle together, discrimination and prejudice will be gone.

Bai Zhi envisioned that day, fantasizing about the beautiful scene when it all happened, he was actually a bit obsessed when he thought about it.

Tang Bai looked at the thriving slums with the same gesture, his eyes flashing in a trance.

In a world where each of our destinies are intimately connected?

It does seem like it.

If he had done nothing, the course of the world would have been the same as the novel in the early days, Bai Zhi would have remained the high and mighty senator, Li Songyun would have continued to be the perfect Mrs. Gu, Lu Lv's brother would have suffered from Cheng Wenhui's defilement, and Jiang Quan would have grown like a weed in the slums ......

Countless omegas have been wrapped up in the current of the times and moved forward, their voices unheard, their encounters unknown.

"Tang Bai, you are the light that gives me hope."

The turquoise eyes looked at Tang Bai, Bai Zhi slowly smiled, "This change was called for by us, pushed forward by us, and ultimately will be met with victory by us."

A month later, all the major sections of StarNet were reporting on the New Marriage Law, which was launched with the strong support of His Excellency Bai Zhi.

Article 1: The Federation guarantees omega the right to a marriage and family on an equal footing with alpha and beta.

Article 2: The Federation protects the marital autonomy of the omega. Interference with the omega's freedom of marriage and divorce is prohibited.

Article 3: The spouses agree in writing that the property acquired during the marriage shall belong to each of them, and that the omega party who has assumed more obligations for the upbringing of the children, the care of the elderly, and the assistance of the spouse in his or her work shall have the right to demand compensation from the spouse in the event of a divorce.

......

Article 24: If the wife voluntarily washes away her life mark due to emotional discord between husband and wife, mediation shall be ineffective and divorce shall be granted.

The faces of three omegas appeared on that weekly magazine introducing the New Marriage Law, from left to right, Tang Bai, Li Songyun and Bai Zhi.

A hand with an intricate ring picked up the weekly magazine, and he slowly turned to the first page, which read:

"Tang Bai once said at a mecha-building competition that he met someone who inspired him and gave him the courage to follow his dreams, and Tang Bai added that he wanted every omega to go and do what he wanted to do.

That's what he thought, and at the same time he did it.

Today, Tang Bai is known as the omega light, bringing warmth and courage to many.

The reason for the name "omega light" may be related to the collective confusion of omegas in this society. Many omegas are living in a fog, unable to see the way to come or the direction of the future.

At this time of the year, there is a man with a lamp walking in the forefront to explore the unknown road, he smiles brightly and brightly, and cries when he falls, and you watch him stumble and bounce along the way, and it seems that there is no obstacle that can stop him.

And at that moment when you look around again, you realize that there are more and more people looking at him in the mist, and someone picks up Xing Xing a little bit of light, and so more and more people nod to each other, and silently and wordlessly converge into a river of light, following behind him.

Li Songyun is the one who chases the light in the mist, who bravely took the first step of deviation and became the first omega in the federation to divorce her husband because of cold violence, Li Songyun said the same thing as Tang Bai--

He wants all omega's to live the life they want.

So more omegas made their move and raised their voices.

The law upholds universal justice and is the voice of the general public, and in this context, His Excellency Bai Zhi, who reaches out to the masses, has launched the New Marriage Law ......"

The picture on the first page is of Tang Bai in his military school uniform, and the line of sight falls on Tang Bai's smiling face for a long, long time.

"Andre, why are you looking at Tang Bai's picture again?" Chris smiled and said, "Don't look, we're about to arrive at the Federation, you'll see the real thing soon!"
