Chen Xi wasn't at all surprised by this news. Money makes the world go round, a truth unchanged since ancient times. Money can even move the gods!
He was currently sitting with Jean Grey and Charles Xavier. This time, they had invited Chen Xi to ask him to use his celebrity status to speak up for the Mutants. It was a carefully considered decision by Charles.
The situation and treatment of Mutants had become increasingly unfavorable recently due to various frequent problems.
The Mutant Registration Act was about to be passed by Congress. Once that happened, it would be incredibly difficult to change things.
Chen Xi spoke frankly, "Mr. Charles, I think you're being too conservative. Your conservative thinking is causing countless Mutants to suffer outside."
"According to my calculations—bullshit calculations—Mutants will ultimately head towards destruction within twenty years."
As soon as he said this, Charles stared at Chen Xi in disbelief, his entire body stiffening.
He couldn't believe what Chen Xi had said; he dared not believe it!
Even Jean Grey felt a surge of tension and fear upon hearing those words again, as if the entire race was on a countdown to destruction...
"Why do you say that?"
Charles stared intently at Chen Xi, his face grim. He couldn't believe that his efforts over the past half-century, which had been so painstaking and cautious, would come to nothing.
The blow was immense, and he couldn't accept it. No one could accept the destruction of a lifetime's work.
"Unconditional compromise only emboldens others, making them think Mutants are easy targets."
"Your cooperation with the X-Men and the higher-ups is just being used. What changes have you actually achieved?"
"Heh, I don't think I need to say more, do I? Even after you resolved the Cuban Missile Crisis, what did you get?"
"Not even a moment in the spotlight. They even wanted to wipe out all Mutants. So, what was the point of your efforts?"
Charles also pondered Chen Xi's words. Yes, what had they gained?
"Do you also think Erik's ideology is correct?"
Charles felt that Chen Xi was just like all the other young people. That's why so many young Mutants were radical, running off to Magneto's side.
"Magneto's ideology is both right and wrong. If his power was enough to casually overthrow The US, then he would be right. After all, whoever has the biggest fist dictates justice and truth."
"Unfortunately, Magneto's fist isn't hard enough. The outcome of success or failure is that he became the villain, now he's a rat scurrying across the street, everyone wants to beat him…"
Hearing this, Charles became even more confused because neither his path nor his old friend's path was viable. So, where was the path for their Mutants?
Could it be that, as Chen Xi said, the extinction of the Mutant race was only a matter of time?
After a moment of silence, Charles sighed.
"Where does that leave the Mutants?"
"World Harmony!"
Chen Xi smiled slightly and gave the answer.
Charles looked at him meaningfully, thinking he'd come up with something better, but it was just this???
World Harmony sounded so grand, but it was just a pipe dream; even more unrealistic than his own.
"You don't seem to think much of my plan, do you?"
Chen Xi asked with a smile.
"To be frank, Mutants are a special group, one in a thousand. If everyone was a Mutant, then discrimination wouldn't exist."
Charles nodded, not holding back to spare Chen Xi's feelings.
"World Harmony is just the Ultimate Dream. Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone had superpowers?"
"The fear that ordinary people have of Mutants comes from the unknown; it's human nature to fear what we don't understand."
"If everyone understood Mutants, that fear would decrease significantly. Look at Captain America, oh right, he's also your idol."
"He's also different from the norm, so why is he able to be a superhero? It's all thanks to propaganda."
"Look at what you all do; which achievement is credited to you Mutants? They get all the good things, and Mutants take the blame for everything bad."
Chen Xi explained calmly, look at those online influencer products, which of them are actually good? Why are they so expensive?
Hype, just keep hyping...
Celebrity endorsements and influencer marketing do well.
"You make a good point, but how do we promote Mutants? Make a movie?"
Charles' mind worked quickly, immediately bringing up Chen Xi's identity.
"That's one way, certainly. We need to hammer a key message into everyone's heads."
"Mutants aren't outsiders, but rather the great pioneers paving the way for human evolution. Mutants sacrifice everything to illuminate the path forward for humanity."
Why is it necessary to establish the correct ideology before doing great things? Without the right ideological guidance, wouldn't we take the wrong path and go astray?
Charles was stunned by Chen Xi's words. Completely changing humanity's ingrained way of thinking, how could such a thing be achieved?
"Do you think it's unbelievable, impossible even?"
"Yeah, it's just a fairy tale."
Charles muttered, wide-eyed…
"The road is long and winding, I will explore above and below."
"The road must be taken one step at a time, and food must be eaten one bite at a time."
"When Mutants gain the right to speak, whatever we say and do will be right."
"Every word we speak will be a guideline, a law, and this world will be the justice of the Mutants."
Hearing Chen Xi's ultimate goal, Charles was completely shocked and trembling…
What an era it would be!!
This is the Ultimate Dream of the Mutants!!
"So I think it's time to start with the first step, lend me some Mutants." Chen Xi said with a slight smile.
