234: Chapter 234 He is the future of humanity
As Jiang Chen moved this flag from the Antarctic Continent to the very center of Dragon Country,
the Qi scattered throughout the Solar System began to gather toward Dragon Country.
"From now on, the number of Level 1 Life Forms born in Dragon Country should gradually increase."
Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
Lightning Qi had already been completely absorbed by him; there was no helping that.
However, the remaining four attributes could still be guided toward Dragon Country.
With Dragon Country as the origin, it would spread to Eurasia and even the entire globe.
As the source, Dragon Country would naturally have the highest concentration of Qi.
The small fishing boat began its return journey.
At this time, Xia Zhongxun and Tie Zhu from the Lunar Base had already arrived at Dragon God Academy aboard the Moon's exclusive Starship.
The Starship was a brand-new interstellar warship in service, not a modified aircraft carrier.
It was 1,300 meters long, 300 meters wide, and weighed 500,000 tons.
That was five times the mass of early large aircraft carriers.
Fortunately, it was driven by Controlled Nuclear Fusion, so it had ample energy. It hovered effortlessly above Dragon God Academy, blotting out the sky and the sun as if an alien invasion were underway.
Such a massive interstellar warship suddenly appearing in Earth's sky drew everyone's gaze upward.
In comparison, other aircraft looked like toys, making many ghost-fire youths behave themselves much more.
"Oh my god, is it an alien invasion?!"
They wailed in their hearts.
To them, the current Lunar Base really did seem no different from aliens.
As for those under Earth's own administration, they possessed no interstellar warships of this magnitude.
The warship hovered thousands of meters in the air, and a hatch opened on the lower hull, from which several small ships flew out.
Inside one of them sat Xia Zhongxun and Tie Zhu.
The following ships carried their entourage.
The ships were relatively small, similar to ordinary fighter jets, and soon landed on an exclusive helipad at Dragon God Academy.
As soon as they emerged from the helipad, Jiang Hao and the others braced themselves and came forward to meet them.
"Welcome, welcome!"
"The people of Earth welcome the lords from the Moon to Dragon God Academy for an inspection!"
Jiang Hao hurriedly flattered them, fearing that when they moved against Jiang Chen later, blood might splatter on his face.
Xia Zhongxun ignored him and simply asked, "Where is Jiang Chen?"
"Where is Jiang Chen?"
Jiang Hao turned to look at Xiao Shuihan in the crowd.
Xiao Shuihan replied, "He'll be back shortly."
Xia Zhongxun walked over to a crooked-neck tree and saw the two recruitment clerks hanging there. Frowning, he gave a casual wave and let them down.
"Elder Xia, you've finally come! You must see that justice is done for us!"
Seeing Xia Zhongxun, that person felt as if an ancestor had manifested.
At the same time, he was extremely surprised that such a matter had actually alarmed one of the Twelve Elders of the Dragon Emblem.
Wait, that is...
Elder Tongtian!
This minor recruitment clerk from the Lunar Base nearly fainted from happiness upon seeing Xia Zhongxun and Tie Zhu appear here together.
This display of power was simply too great.
"Could it be that I have some hidden background?"
The man thought, his head spinning.
The small fishing boat appeared near the Starship.
Xia Zhongxun and Tie Zhu had just received the news.
Then.
Both Jiang Chen and Xue Yao descended from the sky, landing in front of the two.
"Jiang Chen!"
Xia Zhongxun's face was filled with excitement as he was about to step forward.
Tie Zhu had already rushed forward first.
Bang!
Because the speed was too fast, Jiang Chen was slammed into a teaching building.
"Hubby!"
Xue Yao was startled, but Jiang Chen jumped out from the teaching building.
Tie Zhu hurriedly muttered with some embarrassment, "Program startup check in progress..."
Jiang Chen dusted himself off, walked up, and then took off Tie Zhu's head to look inside, asking.
"Tie Zhu, did you program yourself?"
"I told you before, programming yourself leads to mistakes. You still need to find someone to help you find the bugs."
After saying that, he put the head back.
"..."
Everyone around them was dumbfounded.
Damn.
Incredible!
Among the Twelve Elders of the Dragon Emblem at the Lunar Base, you actually took off the head of the mecha 'Tongtian,' which is said to be immortal?
Even more terrifying was that Tongtian actually allowed the inspection like a docile little robot!
There must be a great, unknown secret here.
"Could it be that this person and Tongtian had a secret, peerless romance?"
"Definitely. Maybe Tongtian loved this person desperately, but due to the nature of human-machine love, it wasn't recognized by the Dragon Emblem, so they were forcibly separated..."
"Your guesses are too ridiculous... Is it possible that he was the one who invented this mecha?"
Someone couldn't help but stop their wild imaginings.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone found it even more absurd.
How could a mecha as powerful as Tongtian be invented by a human? Didn't it just spring out of a stone?
Jiang Chen asked after Tie Zhu's wife, and upon learning that Cuihua had evolved to the point where she could create little robots herself, he bypassed Tie Zhu with peace of mind.
He looked toward Xia Zhongxun.
"Dean Xia, long time no see."
Xia Zhongxun stepped forward and squeezed Jiang Chen's shoulder. Finding that he wasn't missing any limbs and wasn't a cyborg, he let out a heavy sigh: "To be honest, before I came, I still found it hard to believe."
"I also find it hard to believe that the difference between Earth and the Moon has become so vast. It's almost like two different civilizations."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, his words carrying a deeper meaning.
Xia Zhongxun gave a bitter smile: "Jiang Chen, this matter is complicated. I hope you can understand my explanation."
"I believe in your character and that you have no selfish motives. Of course, neither does Tie Zhu."
Jiang Chen trusted Tie Zhu the most.
After all, it didn't even have a heart; it just executed tasks.
"However, you won't deny the fact that the Moon, like Mars, is currently bleeding Earth dry, will you?"
Jiang Chen asked.
Xia Zhongxun shook his head: "I don't deny it. For the sake of development, we have indeed been taking from Earth. I not only cannot deny this, but I also cannot stop it, because the development of a civilization requires someone to carry the burden."
"And Earth simply lost out in the power struggle between the Earth United Fleet, Mars, the Moon, and even the Xu Family Faction."
"So it is being bled."
Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised. He had thought Xia Zhongxun would either deny it or make excuses, but he hadn't expected him to admit it directly and speak of 'necessary sacrifice.'
Jiang Chen fell silent for a moment.
The development of a civilization certainly requires sacrifice.
Just like the early manned moon landings, they all involved risking lives.
However!
Jiang Chen did not want to see his home planet end up this way.
He hoped that as humanity moved toward the universe, they would never forget their original intention and always know where they came from.
"Humanity that forgets its roots won't go far."
Jiang Chen looked at Xia Zhongxun with a determined gaze.
"I have an Earth complex, and I believe you do too. You were simply forced onto such a path."
"Now, I'm telling you, I have a way to ensure Earth does not lose out in the coming power struggle."
"So, do you ultimately stand with the Moon or Earth?"
Jiang Chen had just finished speaking.
Tie Zhu stepped forward directly, then stopped and said, "Earth!"
"I'm at an advanced age and only care about scientific research. If Earth can have a better future, I am naturally willing to support Earth."
"However, the Lunar Dragon Emblem has twelve elders. Even if Tie Zhu and I stand with you, we cannot decide the Moon's choice."
Xia Zhongxun spoke truthfully.
There are ten more?
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.
Just then.
A mini spaceship appeared silently overhead, and a towering figure leaped down from it, his voice booming.
"Earth is already old and cannot bear the destiny of humanity's future."
"Since that's the case, it should be handed over to us. Let us choose the direction of our progress!"
As he landed,
some of his followers recognized him and suddenly began to shout fanatically.
"It's Lord Xinhuo!"
"No, it's a God!"
"The Supreme God of humanity!"
"He is the future of humanity!!!!!"
