69: Chapter 69: China Enters the Trillion-Level Era! Foreign Tycoons Submit with Tears in Their Eyes!

Every condition Jiang Shuyun put forward was like a knife to the aorta of Western powers.

The rare treasures and enhancement resources produced by real-world secret realms were strategic hard currencies that money couldn't buy.

Holding them was equivalent to grasping the code for national evolution.

God-level red gear in the game was extremely hard to drop, and supreme treasures with the "True" prefix were even harder to obtain, costing astronomical prices.

Even with Jiang Feng as their backing, Jiang Shuyun and the domestic top brass knew clearly.

To forge iron, one must be strong themselves; they couldn't always rely on one person to feed them. Strengthening the whole nation was the only true path.

The more game main cities they controlled, the wider their pioneering territory, and naturally, the national fortune would rise accordingly.

As for the priority dispatch rights of cross-server teleportation arrays, that was an absolute lifeline that could strangle their throat!

This was equivalent to monopolizing the entire server's logistics hub and military mobility network.

Rapid deployment of supplies, instant encirclement by massive armies.

Holding this trump card meant grasping the vital point of the entire game firmly in their hands.

The conference room was deathly silent for a full minute.

"Jiang Shuyun, this is blatant robbery!"

Wilson slammed the table hard, the veins on his neck bulging.

"Beacon Country will never sign such harsh and humiliating conditions!"

"Goodbye, I won't see you out." Jiang Shuyun didn't even lift her eyelids, her fingers lightly tapping the tabletop.

"Mr. Jiang's goods have never lacked buyers. Guess if the Abyss Demon Race would be willing to trade a few main cities for this colorful gear?"

As soon as these words came out, the representative of Gao Li Country broke down on the spot: "Great Gao Li signs! As long as you give us some colorful gear, we will immediately hand over our main city shares in the Demon Realm!"

"Fusang signs too!"

The alliance's defense line shattered instantly.

Everyone knew clearly.

If equipment was monopolized by Demon Emperor Baal, the Abyss Demon Race would only become stronger.

In the real world, they would face an existential threat.

Signing the conditions would allow their own combat power to skyrocket.

It was just that they would have to surrender more initiative.

Watching the few guys defect one after another, Wilson nearly shattered his back teeth.

He knew better than anyone.

Once the equipment gap widened, Beacon Country's position as hegemon could no longer be maintained.

"...Deal."

All the strength in Wilson's body was drained, and he slumped in his chair.

In this bloodless game of chess, China had won big.

...

Once the news got out, domestic forums, major live streaming rooms, and the "Demon Realm" world channel exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! Harvesting the foreign devils' leeks this time felt amazing!"

"The tables have turned! These guys finally had a day where they had to bow their heads and admit defeat!"

"Big Brother Qingfeng, what kind of cheat do you have? Throwing out 100,000 pieces of colorful gear like trash?"

"The trading house has gone crazy! Colorful gear is selling at cabbage prices! Daddy Qingfeng is carrying us!"

...

The vice president of the Kyoto Martial Arts Association posted under his real name, his tone frantic:

"This is a dimensional strike! It forcibly raised China's combat power by two eras! Qingfeng is a living true god!"

At the center of the storm, Jiang Shuyun watched the assets and permissions in her account skyrocketing, a cold and beautiful arc forming at the corner of her mouth.

She knew Jiang Feng too well.

This man was a lone wolf by nature and never accepted worldly constraints.

All she had to do was weave a great web of interests for him and be the sharpest blade in his hand.

...

The scene shifts back to "Demon Realm".

Lv8000 Extreme Zone — [Boundary of the Universe].

Jiang Feng paused his steps and opened his panel directly.

The 16 trillion free attribute points he had just exploded from sweeping the Level 7000 forbidden zone were all dumped into his four dimensions at once.

[Attribute allocation complete!]

[Basic four dimensions (Constitution, Agility, Strength, Intelligence): 5 trillion!]

[chaos black gold set 240x boost effect: 1200 trillion!]

A terrifying power, capable of shattering high-dimensional laws with a casual punch, surged wildly within his body.

Jiang Feng raised his eyes and scanned his surroundings.

Half a day passed, and not a single monster had spawned.

It was abnormally eerie.

In this Level 8000 extreme map, there wasn't even half a monster.

Only a deathly silent starry sky.

At the end of the starlight, an old man in hemp clothes sat cross-legged.

ID: Ji Xuance.

The old man had no health bar, his aura restrained to the extreme, like an ordinary meteorite in the starry sky.

"You have come."

The old man slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with the vicissitudes of life, "Much faster than this old man expected."

Jiang Feng backhanded his grip on the Universe Destruction Staff, his eyebrows slightly raised: "Who are you?"

"This old man is Ji Xuance, the 73rd generation descendant of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan."

The old man slowly stood up.

No health bar, not a monster, not an NPC.

Just a pure, ancient obsession.

It was the same type as the Flame Emperor's descendant, Jiang Kunlun, from before.

"This old man has been waiting here for you for a long time, so long that I have forgotten the years."

"Senior, what is your purpose in looking for me?" Jiang Feng's tone was calm, neither humble nor pushy.

"You are the Heaven-Chosen One." Ji Xuance stroked his beard, "Cross this line, and you will be able to tear apart the underlying laws of 'Demon Realm'."

"When you reach Level 10,000, Jiang Kunlun and I will be able to complete our meritorious deeds and go to the Upper Heavens."

Jiang Feng's gaze was steady, neither humble nor pushy, and he suddenly asked: "Jiang Kunlun also mentioned the 'world within a world', what exactly is in that place?"

"Why have all the ruthless people throughout history disappeared after going in?"

Ji Xuance looked up at the deep space and sighed softly: "I don't know much, only that the laws there are ten thousand times stronger than those on Blue Star and in 'Demon Realm'."

"They were all bewitched by a prophecy."

"What prophecy?" Jiang Feng asked unhurriedly.

"At the peak of Kunlun, the Road to Heaven appears; Immortal and Indestructible, all worlds pay homage."

Ji Xuance's words were powerful: "The First Emperor sacrificed the Terracotta Warriors back then just to smash out a one-way passage."

Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow, his tone neither soft nor hard: "Senior, you haven't even figured out what that place looks like, yet you say I am the Heaven-Chosen One?"

"And you want me to protect the descendants of Yan and Huang? Where does this confidence come from?"

Ji Xuance was not angry; instead, he laughed with a bit of charlatan-like certainty.

"It relies on the heavenly mandate. And that monstrous catastrophe twelve thousand years ago."

"Nuwa Mending the Sky, you've heard of it, right?"

Jiang Feng did not speak.

"Myths are not made up."

"Twelve thousand years ago, an extraterrestrial meteorite smashed through the Buzhou Mountain realm."

"The Heavenly River flooded back, and the great flood nearly wiped out humanity completely."

"Refining stones to mend the sky was mending that high-dimensional rift that had been smashed open."

Ji Xuance's gaze was burning, staring fixedly at Jiang Feng.

"Before the two Emperors Yan and Huang ascended, they received a dream from the gods."

"When the Abyss descends and 'Demon Realm' digitizes Blue Star."

"An anomaly capable of tearing apart all laws will descend into the world."

"He is the next Heaven Mender."

"So this old man has been waiting here, just to show you the way."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Xuance's figure collapsed into golden starlight, slowly drifting away into the high sky.

"Go, go to the Level 10,000 realm... go and see the real starry sky."

A few seconds later, the old man disappeared completely, and the surroundings fell into deathly silence once again.

Jiang Feng stood where he was, rubbing his chin.

He just wanted to rely on his Infinite Plunder talent and quietly be a cheater.

Piling up his attributes until the universe exploded, and protecting his parents so they could live a stable life.

He couldn't care less about what happens to this world.

As a result, these ancestors from thousands of years ago insisted on forcibly assigning him tasks.

And they even forcibly put the big hat of a savior on him.

They even brought up Nuwa Mending the Sky.

"Don't be so ridiculous, I'm just an emotionless monster-grinding machine..."
