235: Chapter 235 Mars Belongs to Earth

Including students, teachers, and staff, Dragon God Academy had over ten thousand people.

Within minutes of Mai Gurong appearing at Dragon God Academy, the news spread rapidly, and thousands of people soon gathered around the square.

It was packed to the brim.

If it weren't for those who couldn't make it in time and students still in class, there would have been even more people on the scene.

"Xinhuo!"

"Xinhuo!"

"The Xinhuo of humanity!"

"I am willing to burn for Xinhuo!"

Even though there was a Mecha Squad from the Dragon God Academy maintaining order, loud slogans still rang out from all around. Their gazes were fanatical, their voices loud, and some even knelt on the ground, muttering prayers as if worshipping a deity.

"God is with you."

Mai Gurong stood with his hands behind his back, smiling as he looked around at the people looking up at him.

Although it had been over a decade since his last visit to Earth, it didn't affect his influence on Earth in the slightest.

With a wave of his hand, the crowd immediately fell silent.

Then he stepped forward toward the frowning Jiang Chen and the others, saying, "Do you see? This is the choice of the people! I am the future of humanity."

"It took Western European civilization thousands of years to emerge from the Dark Middle Ages."

"The Renaissance was about breaking free from theocracy and liberating the individual."

"In ancient Dragon Country thousands of years ago, someone already shouted defiantly, 'Are kings and nobles given their high status by birth!'"

"And you, with a single sentence, want humanity to return to an era of worshipping theocracy and fearing deities."

"You tell me this is the future."

"No, this is not the future of humanity."

"It is merely your future."

Jiang Chen's voice wasn't loud, nor did he intentionally raise it, but with his energy vibrations, he could easily transmit his voice within a ten-li radius.

Everyone could hear him clearly.

As a result, those fanatical people on the scene felt as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

"You! You're talking nonsense! Everyone, don't listen to this person's blasphemy against the deity. That is Lord Xinhuo, our idol! He holds the power of judgment over everything. This person is talking gibberish. Sisters, pelt him with rotten eggs!"

An exquisitely dressed girl rushed out angrily, holding a megaphone and shouting to the crowd.

However.

There was a stir in the crowd; some were eager to try.

Others' eyes flickered.

This person dared to speak to Lord Xinhuo like that; either he was seeking death, or his strength was extraordinary.

Adoration was one thing, but it was better to observe in secret first.

"Yah!"

Suddenly, a man in the crowd let out a loud shout.

Everyone turned to look. It was a thin man wearing a tank top and a construction worker's hat. At this moment, his eyes were red, as if he had been suppressed for a long time.

The girl with the megaphone immediately snapped, "Wang Ergou, what do you think you're doing!"

"I don't know what I'm doing, but I just feel that kid is right!"

Veins popped on Wang Ergou's forehead as he roared.

What "Lord Xinhuo" bullsh*t.

Using the best resources and flying the most expensive spaceships, yet in turn, he wants us to kneel and worship him!

Even if my legs agreed, the brick in my hand wouldn't!

"We want resources! We want to go to Mars! We want to become Level 1 Life Forms too! Mars belongs to Earth!"

At this moment, Wang Ergou sounded as if he had drunk too much, roaring loudly.

"Right! We want to go to Mars!"

"We want to become Level 1 Life Forms too! We want eternal life!"

"Mars belongs to Earth!"

"Down with the dictator Mai Gurong."

More and more people began to speak out.

The scene became increasingly restless, but it had already begun to polarize.

Like a single spark that can start a prairie fire.

Mai Gurong looked at the restless surroundings, his expression darkening slightly, feeling his authority being challenged.

Ignorant masses!

Truly ignorant masses!

With your aptitude, you also want to become Level 1 Life Forms?

You should just honestly move bricks. You still want to take back Mars?

"I originally wanted to cure your internal friction, but I didn't expect that the ignorant masses would remain ignorant and unteachable."

Mai Gurong shook his head, no longer paying attention to those lower life forms.

In his eyes, these people who weren't even Level 1 Life Forms were no different from the cats and dogs on the street.

If you're willing to kneel and hail the deity, I don't mind glancing at you.

But if you bare your teeth, I won't even give you a dog bone.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Jiang Chen.

Under his perception, the energy of the person in front of him was indeed very abundant, and it was primarily Lightning Qi.

"A man from fifty years ago made many technological contributions."

"Later, he seemed to have some fortuitous encounters in the Arctic Circle... He should be at the peak of a Level 2 Lifeform, right?"

"How about this? Join our Xinhuo, and I can help you take over the Lunar Base, making you the sole ruler of the Dragon Emblem."

"What do you think?"

Mai Gurong looked at Jiang Chen calmly, making his greatest concession.

According to his plan, the Moon would also belong to him alone sooner or later.

But now, to win over this suddenly emerged powerful life form, he decided to use his hand to suppress and divide the Moon.

Beside them, Xia Zhongxun and Tiezhu both frowned.

How arrogant!

Talking about carving up the Moon right in front of me?

Treating us like we don't exist?

Elder Tongtian, prepare for battle.

Xia Zhongxun turned to look at Tiezhu, only to find that it had stepped back at some unknown point.

Elder Tongtian, I'm not a combat type. When the fight starts later, I'll have to rely on you.

Xia Zhongxun said earnestly.

Tiezhu ignored him, connecting to the Dragon Emblem at the Lunar Base on his own. His eyes rolled as he scanned the surroundings and started a live broadcast.

"I'm just a mecha comparable to a Level 2 Lifeform. If a real fight breaks out, I'm worried my brand-new mecha skin will be damaged. To tell you the truth, my wife took out a loan to help me buy this skin, and we haven't even paid it off yet..."

Tiezhu spoke about how he had a wife at home who needed crankshaft lubrication and little robots to send to the Heavenly Soldier Project group for studies, and he hadn't even scraped together the tuition fees yet.

("...")

Xia Zhongxun thought about how he still had a paper on the Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Engine that hadn't been published yet, so he also took a step back.

Connected. Let the other elders of the Dragon Emblem choose their own sides.

Tiezhu transmitted the relevant footage back to the Lunar Base.
