466: Taking myths as history?

Latest news from Shenzhou Daily:

To protect the national environment, Grand Tutor Zhang Lingxiao led the charge, with Marquis of Martial Peace Bai Qi assisting, in launching the 'Keep the Flowers, Not the Weeds' environmental campaign in the East and North directions.

After seven days and seven nights of arduous battle, the environmental campaign was a great success, thoroughly purifying the surrounding environment of 'Central Shenzhou'...

One week after the Free Federation's demise, a news article of less than a hundred words was published on the official website.

Those who understood Shenzhou's linguistic artistry could glean important information from it.

First, 'Keep the Flowers, Not the Weeds' meant two places had become a 'nation of women'.

Second, Shenzhou had introduced a new concept: Central Shenzhou.

Hmm, that 'Central' was quite spiritual.

Was north of Central Shenzhou 'North Shenzhou'?

Was west 'West Shenzhou'?

So, East, South, West, North, were all Shenzhou, right?

Goodness, the whole world belongs to Shenzhou, huh?

Just as countries worldwide were complaining, Sage Si Zhenfeng held a press conference to personally refute the matter.

'What's this Shenzhou stuff?'

'There's no such thing at all!'

'It's clearly the Arctic Realm, Western Heaven Domain, Eastern Wilderness, Chaotic Star Sea...'

'East, West, South, North, all regions of the world have had their names since ancient times.'

'Everyone, please don't use those random titles.'

Saying this, Si Zhenfeng pulled out a map titled 'Mountains and Seas of the Great Wilderness'.

He declared that all regions of Blue Star, since ancient times, had been Shenzhou's territory.

Reporters from various countries: 'Ah?'

Si Zhenfeng: 'What 'ah'? Don't leave after the press conference, get your ID cards first.'

After the 'Map of Mountains and Seas of the Great Wilderness' was released, social platforms immediately exploded.

Southern Yue netizens: 'The sky has fallen, I woke up and became a Shenzhou person?'

Tianzhu netizens: 'Who would believe this map! Using mythology as history?'

Wilderness Nation netizens: 'Child used to do this, Shenzhou learned from it.'

Tianzhu netizens: 'They say this, and we have to accept it?'

Lionheart netizens: 'Please remove the 'we', thank you.'

Tianzhu netizens: 'You can accept this?'

Lionheart netizens: 'The Free Federation accepted it, besides, Qin Yang was originally our Holy Emperor.'

Tianzhu netizens: 'What about Fran? You accept them too?'

Fran netizens: 'We're busy embroidering the national flag.'

Tianzhu netizens: 'It has to be you guys... Eh? Where are the Korean netizens? So quiet today?'

Online, the attitudes of netizens from various countries were quite different.

Some strongly opposed, some went with the flow, and some strongly supported.

Among them, the most resistant were the Tianzhu netizens.

The 'Three Brothers' were everywhere looking for teammates to protest Shenzhou's absurd hegemony.

However, few people paid attention to them.

Most netizens' main concern was still 'What about the ID cards?'

One could only say that Tianzhu netizens were too unperceptive.

Couldn't they see the Federation warships' 2000 rounds in 5 minutes?

Couldn't they feel that it was much quieter online?

Guess why it's quiet?

Two countries have already become 'nations of women'!

And you still don't recognize Shenzhou!

Shenzhou is giving you an out, just go with the flow and return.

Do you really want to wait for the Shen Emperor's army to reclaim lost territories and clean up?

Truly, brains full of dung!

Of course, this was just the netizens' perspective.

From the Supreme Imperial City's perspective, the situation was different.

Perhaps due to proximity, Tianzhu's 'Letter of Surrender' was delivered even earlier than the Fran Empire's.

Of course, it wasn't a formal surrender.

It merely expressed high recognition of the 'Map of Mountains and Seas of the Great Wilderness' and acknowledged Shenzhou's historical status.

However, it remained silent on whether to submit to Shenzhou.

Qin Yang had long anticipated such a move.

Most rulers were rational and self-proclaimed clever.

Even when facing 'enemies' they couldn't imagine, they would still try to play games, testing the bottom line step by step, and preserving their interests as much as possible.

Qin Yang had no more interest in playing games.

He entrusted the task of 'unifying the Mother World' to Qiu Yan and Si Zhenfeng, limiting them to one year to sort out all interest relationships and reclaim lost territories using peaceful means as much as possible.

If they failed, Qin Yang would personally intervene and resolve the issue with force.

No choice.

Qin Yang had no more time to wait.

After Lin Xuan's Breakthrough to the Mortal Realm,

a sense of crisis welled up in his heart.

It was as if a powerful enemy was approaching.

Thus, he performed a divination on the Star Gazing Platform.

It wasn't a big deal not to divine, but once he did, he was shocked.

[Shenzhou will suffer a painful defeat.]

Seeing this 'worst possible omen', Qin Yang was stunned.

Defeat? What defeat?

When the Star Gazing Platform predicted the general trend of the world, it would not provide detailed information, only the result.

To understand the meaning of this worst possible omen, Qin Yang immediately summoned the four True Gods, initiating the first 'Council of Gods'.

'Old Dragon, you've been watching for so long, have you found any problems?'

In the Human Emperor Domain, Qin Yang asked Akatosh, who was 'gazing at the long river of time'.

'I haven't found any problems...'

Akatosh, in the form of an old man, rubbed his eyes and said, 'For the next hundred years, Blue Star will only have one country, Shenzhou, and its population will exceed 100 billion, while simultaneously colonizing 30 worlds, a scene of prosperity...'

Qin Yang asked: 'What will I be doing then?'

Akatosh paused slightly and said, 'I... don't seem to see you.'

'Not me?' Qin Yang took a deep breath.

Akatosh nodded: 'In subsequent time nodes, you haven't appeared.'

Hearing this, Elebella on the side became nervous and said, 'It couldn't be...'

Akatosh knew what the Holy Light Goddess was about to say and quickly interrupted: 'No, in the next hundred years, people will still worship the Shen Emperor.'

Elebella then breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Qin Yang and said, 'Perhaps you went to conquer other worlds?'

Salaman wondered: 'What kind of world would take a hundred years to conquer?'

Amir also chimed in: 'Even for a god, 100 years is not a short time.'

'Yes, 100 years is a long time...'

Qin Yang repeatedly chewed on this sentence.

Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something.

100 years, Shenzhou's population only 100 billion, colonizing 30 worlds?

Was this development a bit too slow?

Thinking of this, he asked Akatosh: 'After 100 years, how do people refer to me?'

Akatosh answered without thinking: 'Shen Emperor.'

Qin Yang shook his head, 'No, I'm asking about the imperial title.'

Akatosh thought for a moment and said, 'Supreme Emperor.'

Hearing this, Qin Yang's expression became solemn.

He knew what was happening.

The defeat mentioned by the Star Gazing Platform referred to his own job transfer failure!
