182: The Earth Federation is established, marking the great unification of human civilization!

When the last trace of gloom from the old era vanished with the complete annihilation of Burns and the warmongers,

the entire world fell silent.

All the heads of state who were previously suspicious and attacking each other for the sake of their so-called 'countries' and 'nations'!

At this moment, they all looked like a group of children who had found their way back.

Their faces were filled with the relief of surviving a catastrophe and

pride!

They knew.

From today onwards!

The nightmare of war that had plagued human civilization for thousands of years!

Will completely become history!

And a brand new, great human era, filled with peace and hope,

A new human era!

Will rise under their very eyes!

Will rise!

A month later.

An unprecedented global celebration, attracting the attention of all media worldwide,

A celebration!

Officially commenced in front of the Pangu Technology headquarters building in Jinghai City, Xia Nation, which was filled with a sense of future technology.

Curtain!

The theme of the celebration was only one!

That is—

The Grand Ceremony for the Establishment of the Earth Federation!

"I announce!"

The usually elegant and amiable face on the chairman's stand was now filled with unprecedented excitement and

heroism!

His voice was loud and solemn!

Clearly echoing in every corner of the world through the global broadcast!

"From today onwards!"

"In this world, there will no longer be 'Xia people,' 'Western Alliance people,' or 'Europeans'.

"We will have only one common name—"

"Earthlings!"

"From today onwards!"

"We will completely abandon all prejudice and hatred!"

"All our resources, all our talents, all our strength!"

"Will be contributed without reservation!"

"For a common goal—"

"Survival!"

"And"

"expedition!"

Boom!!!

This was no longer a declaration!

This was a genesis oracle that could drive all of human civilization mad and make it boil with excitement!

Oracle!

In an instant!

The entire Earth exploded!

Countless ordinary people of different skin colors and races!

All went crazy!

They rushed into the streets!

They embraced strangers around them who they once considered 'outsiders'!

They cheered!

They were in tears!

An unprecedented wave of great unity, capable of subverting the entire history of human civilization,

Unity

Wave!

Swept across the entire planet!

And, at this moment.

Below the chairman's stand at the celebration.

Lu Chen was calmly watching this 'historic' scene unfolding before him.

There was not a ripple on his face.

As if all of this was only natural.

Beside him stood the ice-cold goddess, also with a calm expression.

Goddess.

Su Qingying.

"You don't seem happy at all?"

Su Qingying looked at Lu Chen's calm, even somewhat cold face, and a hint of confusion flashed in her beautiful, bright eyes.

"Why should I be happy?" Lu Chen asked indifferently.

"Because," Su Qingying pointed to the person on stage speaking passionately, "isn't this the 'grand reunion' ending you've always wanted to see?"

"Ending?"

Lu Chen smiled.

It was a smile filled with self-mockery and helplessness.

"No, Qingying."

"You are wrong."

"This is not the end."

"This is just"

His lips curved into a mysterious and subversive smile!

"The beginning of an even grander, vaster new story."

"Beginning."

As soon as he finished speaking!

"Buzz—!!!"

A dull yet solemn roar, filled with a sense of future technology, suddenly came from the vast, azure sky above!

Everyone instinctively looked up!

The next second!

Everyone's breathing stopped at this moment!

They saw it!

They saw it with their own eyes!

A huge, silver-white, teardrop-shaped interstellar spaceship, full of sci-fi and futuristic elements, comparable to an aircraft carrier,

Interstellar

Spaceship!

Was slowly emerging from the clouds!

It was the expedition, which had just returned from a 'business trip' to Mars!

"expedition"!

"Oh, my God!"

"Is this... is this the expedition?!"

"Isn't it too spectacular?!"

All the viewers around the world watching the live broadcast were like a group of poor wretches who had seen a ghost!

Their mouths were so wide open you could fit an aircraft carrier in them!

Their faces were filled with unprecedented, ghostly horror and subversive shock!

And on the chairman's stand.

Looking at the slowly descending silver-white Shenzhou, his wise eyes were filled with immense satisfaction and

pride!

He knew!

From today onwards, human civilization would no longer be that fragile 'child' who could only passively gaze at the starry sky!

"Child"!

But a true super player who could bare its sharp fangs at the dark universe full of unknowns and dangers!

Super player!

"I announce!"

He picked up the microphone, his voice loud and solemn!

"The first Chief Scientist of the Earth Federation!"

"Will be Academician Lu Chen, the father of pangu!"

"To serve!"

"At the same time!"

"I also represent the newly established Supreme Council of the Earth Federation!"

"To announce our first five-year plan to the whole world!"

"That is"

He pointed his finger towards the vast, endless

Starry sky!

His wise eyes were filled with unprecedented madness and

heroism!

"We will dedicate all the strength of human civilization!"

"Within five years!"

"Our Five-Star Red Flag—no, the Earth Federation's Blue Star Flag!"

"Will be planted throughout the entire"

"Solar System!"

Boom!!!

This was no longer a plan!

This was humanity's ultimate

expedition

Declaration!

In an instant!

The entire Earth was boiling!

All Earthlings, regardless of skin color or race!

All went crazy!

They embraced!

They cheered!

They were in tears!

An unprecedented wave of great interstellar unity, capable of subverting the entire history of human civilization,

Interstellar

Wave!

Swept across the entire planet!

And, at this moment.

Kunlun Mountain Underground Base.

heavenly craft was calmly watching the 'human' spectacle on the screen, filled with revelry and joy.

Spectacle.

There was not a ripple on her face.

As if all of this was only natural.

"Master."

She spoke slowly.

"Hmm?"

"Have you really decided to announce that news?"

"Of course."

Lu Chen nodded calmly.

"We have no retreat."

"They have the right to know the truth."

"And they also have the right to choose their own"

"Future."

[But] heavenly craft's voice carried a hint of human-like concern, [I'm afraid they won't be able to accept it.]

"Hehe."

Lu Chen smiled.

It was a smile full of confidence and pride.

"heavenly craft, you still underestimate our human civilization—small, fragile, yet full of infinite possibilities."

"Civilization."

"Sometimes"

"The greater the pressure."

"The stronger the rebound."

"The stronger it will be."
