63: Golden Lotus of Merit!
While the warriors swept across the Rope Islands,
1.4 billion people were watching the live broadcast intently.
In cemeteries across China, a silver screen was placed in front of each tombstone, and the live broadcast was simultaneously projected onto it.
Golden sunlight spilled onto the tombstones, and many blurred figures could vaguely be seen smiling, looking at their descendants on the screen with relief.
After a hundred years, every Chinese person has become like a Dragon.
Although these descendants were emitting wisps of black Qi, which was a bit unsettling, since they could protect their homeland, it proved they were on the right Dao!
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The warriors had already begun to retreat, walking with neat and powerful steps towards their landing spot.
In the center of the beach, a flagpole stood.
All the warriors, by prior agreement, stood still, their bodies facing the Dragon Flag, their expressions incredibly solemn.
"All, attention!"
"Raise the Dragon Flag, play the battle song!"
The stirring song began to play from the broadcast.
The China Dragon Flag slowly rose with the song.
All the warriors present saluted the Dragon Flag with solemn expressions, their bodies straight as pines, their arms firm as iron, their eyes, at some point, already filled with hot tears.
Once upon a time, countless martyrs sang battle songs as they bravely went to their deaths, strapping themselves with explosives and charging at the enemy, ending their short lives amidst the stirring battle songs!
In the battle song, there was hatred of blood and fire!
In the battle song, there was the belief in protecting the homeland!
In the battle song, there was longing for the future!
To this day,
The battle song once again resounded throughout the land of China!
The 1.4 Billion Chinese People sang the battle song in unison, and the deafening sound transformed into a torrent of belief, washing away all obstacles in its path!
In the cemetery, the battle song surged.
The ground vibrated rhythmically; that was the departed martyrs, singing the battle song together in another dimension!
The stirring battle song quietly approached its end.
The Dragon Flag also rose to its peak at this moment!
Heatwaves rolled, the Dragon Flag flew,
The divine light of China illuminated all directions!
"Ancestors, can you see it from above? We won this counterattack on the Rope Islands!"
"Remember this day, New Era 2024, August 3rd. This is a day of universal celebration, because we achieved an unprecedented victory in the Rope Islands counterattack!"
"I never thought I'd live to see this moment. I'm going to go set off the five thousand-shot Chinese Red firecrackers from the warehouse!"
China had already turned into a sea of joy.
Firecrackers crackled in every street and alley, people wearing festive red clothes took to the streets to sing and dance, and countless folk honor guards began to perform by the roadside.
This scene was a hundred times livelier than the New Year!
"After a hundred years, the last wish of our ancestors has finally been brought to Perfection by us!"
Saning's heart swelled with emotion, and he excitedly said:
"In this situation, many feelings surge in my heart, making me want to recite a poem!"
Hearing Saning's words, the program director in the studio was so scared he fell backwards onto the ground.
There was no poetry recitation segment in the plan!
The director frantically winked at Saning, practically begging him on his knees, but the latter ignored him.
This was destined to be a report that would go down in history, and now, he was going to add the finishing touch!
Saning slapped the table and declared loudly:
"When September eighth comes next year,
Chang'an flowers will bloom all over the Rope Islands!
Killing intent pierces the clouds,
The whole island is covered in blood-stained armor!"
This poem was named "The Ten Thousand Great Army Determines the Universe" and was later included as a mandatory modern poem in the nine-year Demon Cultivation education.
Of course, that's a story for later.
As the live broadcast reached its climax.
A strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky.
A brilliant golden lotus appeared out of nowhere in the blue sky, surrounded by tens of thousands of golden particles, and rays of auspicious light shone upon this land.
"Holy crap, is this a Karmic Golden Lotus?!"
Bai Yang looked at the brilliant golden lotus slowly descending from the sky, his jaw dropping to the size of a fist.
He came to counterattack the Rope Islands, not only did he not create any killing Karma, but instead attracted a Karmic Golden Lotus?
Just as Bai Yang was shocked,
The light screen in his mind suddenly changed.
[Host detected to have achieved a hidden achievement.]
[Destroy the Evil Cultivator's stronghold: Evil Path Cultivators, everyone has the right to kill them. The Rope Islands was once an Evil Cultivator's stronghold, containing Evil Path Legacy.]
[Achievement Reward: National Luck Demon Dragon (to be extracted), blood refining jianmu Cultivation Method.]
Bai Yang slapped his head, now he understood everything!
No wonder the island nation had always been so inhumane; it turned out the Rope Islands used to be an Evil Cultivator's stronghold!
............
On the other side.
"W-what's going on?!"
Trump rubbed his eyes hard, then leaned in again, but the scene he saw remained unchanged.
Through the super-giant telescope, Trump not only witnessed the Chinese Demon Cultivators wreaking havoc but also saw a thousand-meter-tall pagoda rolling on the ground!
Even more outrageous, a golden lotus appeared in the sky above the Rope Islands!
"If I'm not mistaken, the Chinese started Cultivating Immortals a long time ago, and the things they're holding are the Magic Treasures from Cultivation novels."
James said with difficulty.
He had previously speculated that the Chinese might have mastered the Cultivation method, and this time it just confirmed his idea.
What truly astonished him was the golden lotus slowly descending in the sky above the Rope Islands!
