Chapter 944: Facing the People, Ascending to the World (2)

Editor: Henyee Translations

“Only then will we have hope of surviving this tribulation in five years.”

“Cultivation?”

The heads of state looked at each other. Discussions kept coming from all directions.

The leader of the Atlantean Kingdom was the first to speak.

“Only your country has entered the cultivation stage? Then why can’t our citizens try to cultivate?”

The highest commander shook his head helplessly. Then, he pointed at the document in front of him.

“In this document, the Dao Ancestor has already explained that other than the people of Great Xia, it’s very difficult for people from other countries to enter cultivation. Moreover, Great Xia already had two national sermons. Now, 80% of the citizens have already entered the Dao.

“In terms of cultivation, the citizens of the countries present were all blank pieces of paper. Instead of using the past five years to paint the white paper, it’s better to decorate the original painting with the gods.”

The highest commander only used a few words to stabilize the order of the scene again. The leaders of the various countries also began to nod. Clearly, they had gradually approved of this matter.

“Today, I’m only showing everyone the plan that our Great Xia can give. As for whether the countries cooperated or not, Great Xia would not interfere. If they were willing to cooperate, Great Xia would treat them as allies. In these five years, our fates were connected. When the crisis arrived, Great Xia would definitely not stand by and watch the allies suffer. Everyone, there’s not much time left for you to make a decision. Please consider it seriously.”

The highest commander left the meeting, leaving the heads of the various countries in the conference room with solemn expressions, thinking about the highest commander’s words just now.

Su Yun also indicated to Zhao Guofeng that he would be in seclusion for a short period of time. During this period of seclusion, Zhao Guofeng could also carry out other matters one by one. The reason why he went into seclusion at such a critical juncture was because Su Yun hoped to consolidate his insights from this trip to the universe.

Cultivation was about cultivating the heart, and these comprehensions were indispensable processes for cultivating the heart.

Zhao Guofeng naturally had no objections. He watched as Su Yun sat cross-legged beside the Divine Lonely Stone again. Then, he instructed the soldiers who sealed the mountain to be on high alert and not allow anyone to disturb Su Yun before hurriedly leaving.

Zhao Guofeng had to participate in a meeting personally initiated by the highest commander in the capital. The core problem of this meeting was naturally how to implement and practice the solution proposed by Su Yun.

As for the people, they still did not know what had happened. However, in fact, this calm was only on the surface. The bottom of the sea was already surging.

The meeting in the capital lasted for a total of four hours. The final outcome of the meeting was not beyond Zhao Guofeng’s expectations. The supreme commander agreed to begin implementing Su Yun’s plan. The first step to implement this plan was to publicize the problems they were facing.

After a night, the entire Internet environment had already changed drastically. Most of the citizens woke up and saw many messages popping up on the Internet and television. They wondered if they were still dreaming.

[Emergency announcement from this station. Earth has been invaded by an alien civilization. After the Dao Ancestor personally investigated, he concluded that in five years, the fleet of alien civilizations will arrive on Earth.]

[Crisis!! Unknown alien civilization, five years deadline, calamity is approaching!]

[At ten o’clock this morning, the Capital’s Great Hall will hold a press conference for the entire country. The theme of the press conference has been publicized. It’s called the Countdown to the Apocalypse.]

These words quickly entered the eyes of most people. At first, everyone’s reaction was the same. They felt that it might be some rumor. However, as the reports on the morning news on various stations and official websites were reposted, it quickly dispelled the doubts in the hearts of the people and turned into shock.

“A few days ago, there was a flying saucer flying in the sky. Could that be an omen?”

“Five years? Can we beat them?”

“War is about to break out, and it’s an interstellar war. I only slept. Why do I feel that everything has changed?”

More and more netizens discussed this matter online, and everyone’s hearts were filled with panic. They did not know what had happened. They only knew that their fates had suddenly been counted down to five years.

Extraterrestrial civilizations and interstellar wars were too distant for most ordinary people. They even only existed in their imaginations. In just one night, there was suddenly a large-scale public report of the relevant news.

This naturally made it difficult for many people to react. It was also because of this that the capital decided to hold a press conference at ten o’clock today and let Zhao Guofeng be the main speaker to explain the situation to everyone.

As the news from all sides reported, the matter fermented faster and faster. When it was almost ten o’clock, everyone was paying attention to this press conference. They had long entered the public link platform and waited for the livestream to begin.

An hour before the press conference, all the mainstream media in the capital had already rushed to the venue. They set up their long guns and short cannons while discussing this shocking matter.

The concept of aliens was no longer so unfamiliar to everyone in recent years, but this was completely different from suddenly knowing that Earth would go to war with aliens in five years.

This hour was extremely long for everyone present. All the media reporters at the scene watched anxiously as the clock ticked by. In the livestream, the Great Xia citizens were also in a daze as they looked at the screen that did not have any images for the time being.

Many people in the comments section below the livestream were discussing. Everyone was worried about what would happen to humanity in five years. Finally, it was time. Zhao Guofeng appeared solemnly in front of the podium in his military uniform.

The venue instantly fell silent. Even the comments section that had been scrolling for nearly an hour in the live stream instantly stopped.

“Everyone, thank you for participating in this press conference. Also, thank you for watching this press conference through various channels and waiting patiently. I believe many people were shocked today. To be honest, I haven’t recovered from the shock until now.”

Zhao Guofeng quickly explained what had happened to the people of Great Xia through the press conference. Only then did the Great Xia citizens come to a realization. So many things had happened on Earth without them knowing.

“The Dao Ancestor personally went to investigate and discovered the pioneer troops of the alien civilization rushing towards Earth. According to the Dao Ancestor’s estimation, in five years, the pioneer troops of the alien civilization would arrive on Earth.

“There is not much time left for us. The enemy has declared war on us and treats us as guinea pigs. They want to use our Earth as a test ground. But I can tell everyone very responsibly that we will never accept such a fate.”

Zhao Guofeng’s voice spread throughout the streets and alleys of the country. In front of the television, the radio, and the big screen in the square, countless Great Xia citizens were watching this press conference solemnly.

“Now is not the time for us to despair. In the next five years, the Dao Ancestor will personally lead the people of Great Xia to cultivate. Only cultivation is our hope of survival. Only the Dao Ancestor is our future in five years. It was even to the extent that the magnificent feat of the entire world ascending would come true!

“Everyone, please be prepared. Every Great Xia cultivator is important in this battle with the alien civilization. Any subsequent news will be released through the official website. Everyone, please wait patiently. There’s no need to panic.”

Zhao Guofeng’s speech caused a wave throughout the country.

People were discussing this matter everywhere on the Internet. There were always people gathered in the streets and alleys with serious expressions. This was a crisis that all of humanity had to face, and Su Yun became the most important person to resolve this crisis.

In the joint conference room, the heads of the various countries seemed to have finally come to a conclusion and quickly sent an invitation to Great Xia. The moment the highest commander entered the livestream, the leader of the Atlan Empire was in charge of announcing the decision they had discussed.

“In the next five years, our countries will cooperate with Great Xia. With Great Xia’s decision as the guideline, we will cooperate sincerely to survive the crisis!”
