179: Chapter 178 The Principle of One China

At this moment, far away on Zijin Mountain, the two leaders suddenly received a voice transmission from Ye Qingxuan and were overjoyed.

They were not surprised that Ye Qingxuan could perceive all their plans.

With Ye Qingxuan's abilities, as long as he wanted to know something on this Blue Star, nothing could remain a secret.

What truly excited the two was that this banished Immortal actually agreed to their plan!

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with utter determination.

"Let's begin! In this world, having only one China is enough!"

The Second Elder nodded slowly, his gentle facial features suddenly giving off a chilling, bloodthirsty aura:

"Every inch of land under heaven belongs to the king; every person along the shores is the king's subject! Pass down the order, the whole army marches out!"

Command after command trickled down from Zijin Mountain. The secretary, looking excited, rushed around to deliver orders.

In an instant, the entire state machine went into full operation.

In the military camps, every soldier and officer who received the supreme order felt their blood boil, their faces flushed red.

A young recruit clenched his fists, trembling with excitement: "This is a monumental achievement of expanding our territory! A feat worthy of starting a brand-new lineage in the family genealogy! My life is complete!"

Next to him, a veteran chuckled with emotion: "I don't have the Aptitude to achieve Immortal Ascension and attain the Dao, so I don't dare dream of it. But to see the world unified, it's all worth it!"

Another spoke in a deep voice: "It should have been this way all along! The world unified under one banner, standard tracks for carriages, standard script for writing—this is what we descendants of Yanhuang should be doing!"

"A tiny Blue Star, with over a hundred countries and over two hundred languages—isn't this a betrayal to Master Ying?!"

"That's right! Today, we unify the world!"

Just as he finished speaking, a soldier with a heavy southern accent chimed in excitedly: "Then we must unify the rules! Tofu pudding must be sweet, and rice dumplings must be savory!"

The entire place instantly fell dead silent!

All the soldiers turned in unison, eyes wide with fury!

"Bullshit!"

"Tofu pudding must be savory! Rice dumplings must be sweet!"

"Sweet tofu pudding and savory rice dumplings are absolute heresy!"

"..."

In an instant, the massive military camp burst into a clamor, morphing from a pre-battle mobilization into the ultimate Sweet vs. Savory debate.

Just as everyone was arguing till they were red in the face...

A field officer bearing three stars and two bars on his shoulders strode into the barracks, frowning deeply, and shouted sternly: "What are you shouting about?! What is this chaotic mess?!"

A soldier with two chevrons immediately stepped forward to salute and explained with a grin: "Reporting, Commander! It's all because Goudan spoke nonsense, saying sweet tofu pudding and savory rice dumplings are orthodox! Everyone couldn't help but argue back at him!"

The brigade commander's face instantly turned dark as night.

"Nonsense! What sweet or savory! I don't care if you fight it out when you come back, but we're about to set out on a nationwide campaign! If anyone dares embarrass our brigade or drop the ball, I'll whip him to death when we return! Fall in and prepare for battle immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

The soldiers snapped to attention in an instant, no longer fooling around. They swiftly packed their gear and stood fully prepared.

At the same time, undercurrents surged across the entire Blue Star as winds and clouds shifted violently.

As the order from Zijin Mountain landed, within moments, nations like Da Mao, Pakistan, Cuba, and Saudi Arabia issued announcements one after another—

The entire nation would merge into China and return under the Yanhuang orthodoxy!

This move instantly exploded among all the remaining small nations around the world, igniting endless panic.

During the last National Destiny Game...

Ye Qingxuan single-handedly wiped out over thirty of the strongest nations on Blue Star; old imperialist powers like the United States, Britain, and France were all wiped out!

On the current Blue Star, only China and Da Mao remained as top forces.

When even the mighty Da Mao submitted directly, the remaining small countries that used to rely on the West fell into complete panic.

Furious and desperate, they swore bitterly, their hearts filled with unwillingness.

But looking at China today, which dominated the globe with invincible power, not a single nation dared to harbor the courage to resist.

China today was no longer what it used to be, with the entire population engaged in cultivation.

Qi Refining Cultivators could be seen everywhere among the civilians, while hidden dragons and crouching tigers filled the military with countless experts.

The era dominated by nuclear weapons had completely passed. Now, pulling out any team of soldiers from the Chinese army yielded individuals with extraordinary combat power.

Not to mention the Heavy Frames Ye Qingxuan brought back from the Ling Cage World, a huge batch of futuristic technology, plus various black tech and potent gene serums redeemed from the Main God Space.

Combined with all-around enhancements from National Destiny rewards, large numbers of domestic researchers had transformed into once-in-a-century Geniuses.

Although they still couldn't compare to Elder Qian, China's current technological level did not lag behind at all even when compared to tech in sci-fi movies.

Heavy Frames were fully distributed across the army. Most soldiers were martial arts masters with a solid Physical Body Foundation, the weakest being at Captain America level.

Once operating a Heavy Frame in battle, they could unleash power equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Perfection Cultivator.

To make an analogy, each Heavy Frame was roughly equivalent to a suit of Iron Man Mark armor.

Hundreds of thousands of Heavy Frames fielded simultaneously, hundreds of thousands of Iron Mans ready to march—what a magnificent sight that was!

The Heavy Frames glinted with cold, fierce light; martial True Qi roared and circulated inside the mechas, Immortal Talismans were embedded on the outer shells, magic runes wrapped around the fuselages, and Dou Qi surged inside the pipelines.

Four distinct powers—Immortal Dao, Martial Dao, Magic, and Dou Qi—were all fused onto the Heavy Frames.

When news reached the remaining small countries abroad, total silence fell over those nations.

Just imagining hundreds of thousands of Heavy Frames deploying to the battlefield simultaneously sent chills down everyone's spines.

Let alone rising up in resistance—the rulers of many small countries couldn't stop their legs from shaking, and the last shred of wishful thinking in their hearts completely shattered.

They knew clearly that this kind of power was something conventional weapons couldn't withstand at all; even nuclear strikes were useless.

China's practitioners were not just for show; every single one had the strength to annihilate a nation single-handedly, and China had thousands of such powerhouses.

Any resistance was equivalent to striking a stone with an egg.

Many countries were already drafting documents overnight, preparing to submit instruments of surrender.

But these submitted surrender documents were utterly useless in front of soldiers eager to earn military merit.

The soldiers' thoughts were very straightforward:

Every inch of land under heaven belongs to the king; every person along the shores is the king's subject!

Barbarians of foreign tribes do not submit to royal rule. Now China is punishing the guilty to comfort the people, subduing the rebellious, and bringing the world under royal transformation!

The surrender envoys sent by various countries were all completely ignored.

Hundreds of thousands of Heavy Frames roared into the sky, and large groups of powerhouses marched alongside the army, advancing across multiple fronts and flattening everything in their path.

Mechas roared, shaking the earth; True Qi and rune lights covered the sky. The remaining defensive fortifications in various regions were like paper in the face of absolute power, completely unable to stop the army's advance.

There were no protracted bloodbaths or stalemates. In just two short days, the entire Blue Star was brought under total unification.

As for those black and white humanoids in Black Africa and Europe... ahem, they refused to surrender and were covered by heavy firepower...

The outcome? Anyone with sense understands.

As for the countries punished by the National Destiny Space where monsters descended, due to the rules of the National Destiny Space, descended monsters could not leave their borders, leaving the territories of the former Bangzi Country, Ah-San, Annan, Australia, France, the United States, and other countries...

Because China simply ignored them, these lands became paradises for zombies, mechanical Taotie, and ghosts.

Now that China wanted to reclaim lost territories, Ye Qingxuan took action directly. Clenching his hand into the Void Realm with a single motion, countless monsters across Blue Star turned to ashes on the spot.

Those monsters and foreigners directly became fertilizer for the soil, and the Chinese army joyfully took over the new territories.

It truly fit the saying: I like farming; whoever doesn't let me farm, I'll farm him into the ground!

Nations that merged into China, like Da Mao and Pakistan, watched the unified flags rise over cities across all continents and new decrees being posted everywhere.

They felt nothing but relief. The once numerous nations were now history, and Blue Star had finally unified into a single entity.

Countless soldiers felt their hearts surging with passion; the glorious feat of expanding territory they had dreamed of had ultimately fallen into their hands.

Far away at Maoshan, Ye Qingxuan's Divine Sense swept across the entire Blue Star.

If one were to redraw the world map now, the entire land and all four seas were a sea of red, with no other country remaining.

The principle of 'there is only one China in the world' was truly realized; what the First Emperor did not accomplish had now been achieved.

His Divine Sense then looked toward the Capital and Lingyin Temple.

The aura of Lin Lei and Duyuan was thick and solid, their Realm stuck right at the threshold of breaking through, needing only a slight push from an external force to achieve a Breakthrough.

The Daoist school calls the Body Integration Realm a Human Immortal, the Buddhist school calls it an Arhat, while Lin Lei's martial path calls it a Celestial.

Ye Qingxuan understood in his heart, thinking silently: It seems the two of them are about to break through as well. Ningshuang is the same. The time has come.

He hesitated no longer, raising his hand to take out the strand of Origin aura given by the Heavenly Dao of Linglong. With a flash of spiritual light from his fingertips, he casually tossed it into the Void Realm.

A strand of warm, vast light instantly shot into the sky, merging into Heaven and Earth.

The Heavenly Dao above the Nine Heavens instantly captured this strand of Origin.

The grand outcome was set; next was simply to await the arrival of the world Fusion.
