We always assume that the country has many powerful factions and clans, and that they will surely step forward when the country is in trouble.
But the truth is that many powerful families have no concept of family or country. When a crisis comes, they run away faster than anyone else because they have the resources and the ability to make choices and distribute their wealth.
This includes some children of officials and the wealthy!
Children from ordinary families, lacking resources and the ability to escape poverty, are born to share their fate with the motherland.
Despite the many imperfections of this motherland, and even its ruthless exploitation of you, do you have a choice?
You have no choice!
Once an enemy country attacks, your country is destroyed and your family is ruined, you will be reduced to a third-class citizen.
The strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak; this is an unchanging truth of the world.
Take, for example, these people from hidden sects. They have their own secret realms and their own foundations. When dynasties change outside, they don't need to worry because it has nothing to do with them and won't affect them at all.
Even during the Five Barbarian Invasions, the Mongol invasion, and the Qing army's entry into the Central Plains, they never interfered.
But this time it's different; this time the lizardmen are too powerful.
They couldn't escape; the dome technology surpassed the so-called secret realm.
Once they realized the power of the lizardmen, they could no longer remain calm.
More importantly, the lizardmen are not humans in the usual sense; they are not alien races.
If the attackers of Great Xia were the old Mi, or even the lesser ones, they wouldn't be afraid even if the country were destroyed and the land destroyed, because they are still human and should always maintain awe towards them, the outsiders.
But when facing the lizardmen, that sense of superiority was gone.
"Does the Human Emperor mean that the Lizardmen are coming in with overwhelming force this time, and our secret realm can't stop them?"
"That's probably true. The dome technology has caused the depletion of Earth's spiritual energy. The lizardmen's technology should not be underestimated!"
"What dome? The spiritual energy was depleted because the primordial world collapsed, severing the connection between heaven and earth. What does it have to do with the dome?!"
The crowd whispered amongst themselves; some were fearful and worried, while others remained indifferent.
boom!
A large bow suddenly appeared in Lin Yu's hand. He drew the Xuanyuan Bow to its full extent and then released it with a bang.
Whoosh! Wherever it passed, the sky shone as brightly as a star.
After a dazzling display, the arrow seemed to be blocked by something, and then it exploded instantly.
Then suddenly, transparent membranes, resembling ceilings, appeared in the sky.
That transparent membrane stretched for thousands of miles, reaching the ends of the earth, like a barrier that enveloped the entire sky.
"Is this the dome?"
"So big, so long, so..."
Words cannot describe it; at this moment, everyone was awestruck by this magnificent sight.
"Look, what's that?"
At this moment, everyone suddenly noticed that on the transparent membrane, there were clumps of mist-like things constantly swirling and billowing.
"That's spiritual energy!"
"Heavens! Such abundant spiritual energy... even in ancient times, it couldn't have been this rich!"
"The spiritual energy seemed to be compressed, almost becoming liquid. It was incredibly concentrated!"
Everyone was so shocked that their jaws dropped, and they didn't know what to do, because what they saw was just too shocking.
At this moment, Lin Yu spoke up, saying calmly, "Severing the connection between heaven and earth does not mean that spiritual energy will immediately dry up. Even a centipede with a hundred legs does not die easily. The depletion of spiritual energy is gradual, not sudden. However, because of the existence of the dome, this spiritual energy is sealed in the sky. Earth's spiritual energy is almost exhausted, and only some spiritual mountains, spiritual stones, and secret realms can release some!"
After hearing Lin Yu's explanation, everyone immediately understood.
So, the spiritual energy above the dome is the spiritual energy accumulated after the severing of the connection between heaven and earth. After thousands of years of accumulation, it has reached an astonishing level. My God, if this spiritual energy were released, how many powerful beings would be born? Perhaps Earth could enter a golden age of cultivation.
Although the released spiritual energy will gradually deplete, it will be much better than it is now; it's like giving the cultivation world a lifeline.
Even some old monsters can use this to reach the profound realm, or even achieve immortality!
However, this dome is so sturdy, who could possibly break it?
Over the centuries, countless powerful figures have emerged. Even a powerhouse like Ao Shuang has not been able to break through this barrier. So who could possibly break it?
Even immortals are subject to the constraints of the dome; who can surpass immortals?
Everyone saw that Lin Yu had just made a move, and he used a divine artifact, the Xuanyuan Bow, yet it still couldn't penetrate it, demonstrating just how sturdy the dome is.
This also proves the terror of the Lizardmen's mother tribe.
At this moment, Feng Jiu, standing beside Lin Yu, spoke up, coldly saying, "The lizardmen underground are no real match for us. Their technology is far inferior to that of the lizardmen's mother race. This dome was left behind by the lizardmen's mother race. However, recent signs indicate that the mother race has already descended upon the underground lizardmen, and they have also mastered some of the dome technology. You should have heard about what happened in the South China Sea. They used the dome to block an atomic bomb. The most powerful force on Earth right now is nuclear power. I think few of you here would dare to say that you can block an atomic bomb, right?"
Everyone looked horrified.
Although they are all highly skilled individuals who are not afraid of firearms, nuclear power is an exception. Even if they cultivate to the Profound Realm, they would not dare to say that they can ignore the power of a nuclear strike.
However, activating nuclear power is not a simple matter; it cannot be casually thrown out like a duel between experts. Therefore, when facing it individually, they naturally have no fear.
But after Feng Jiu said that, they finally understood the power of the lizard people's technology.
I suddenly felt a little nervous.
Seeing that everyone was starting to be moved, Feng Jiu sneered and continued speaking.
"The attack by the subterranean lizardmen is not what we are worried about. I have some news for you all: the lizardmen's mother race, which possesses more advanced dome technology, has now invaded beyond the Antarctic ice wall. You should have heard about the world beyond the ice wall from the Records of Mountains and Seas. Vast lands there, and even territories and sects more powerful than all of you combined, have already been swallowed up by the dome. You decide how long you can hold out once they expand into our Great Xia world!"
boom!
When this news broke, the scene erupted in chaos! Everyone was in an uproar!
"The Lizardmen's mother tribe has attacked?"
"Ten thousand years ago, the Divine Blood paid a heavy price to drive them out of the Great Xia World. Now, ten thousand years later, the Divine Blood is no longer the same as before. And what about the Lizardmen? Their technological power must be even stronger!"
"Given the current imbalance of power, can our human race still win this war?"
In the tense atmosphere, everyone trembled from the depths of their souls.
