Chapter 383 Earth Rebirth Day
It is now nearly the seventh year of the apocalypse. At this time in the previous life, Li Xiang had been dead for nearly three years, and the Earth civilization did not last long after his death. One base after another was destroyed. After a few years, there were only a thousand people left on Earth. Not long after, the last person on Earth also died of illness in the dark and cold cave.
The whole team was wiped out.
Today, fate has naturally reversed. The Earth's population remains above seven billion, especially in Country C, where the population dropped to around one billion before the end of the world. Now, nearly seven years later, it has increased instead of decreasing, and has broken through the 1.4 billion mark, surpassing the peak of the past. In a few years, it may exceed two billion.
At the end of the 21st century, people's preference for boys over girls intensified. At the same time, the country had enough food and clothing and no worries about security, which led to a serious imbalance in the ratio of men to women in the country in the past few years. Many men could not find wives, so they had to introduce a large number of women of marriageable age from other countries. This also greatly alleviated the problem of more men than women and the prevalence of bachelors in the country.
At the same time, it also solved the problem of women being too many and unable to be fed in those countries, and those countries also received material assistance from Country C. It can be said to be a win-win situation, with both sides getting what they need.
Especially women from small countries, the peninsula and some Southeast Asian countries, are more in line with Chinese aesthetics.
Of course, there are also many in Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Central Asia, and North America. Even in Africa, there are a few black beauties who marry into Country C.
Due to the introduction of a large number of foreign women, the number of mixed-race children in the country has increased in recent years. However, except for the difference in appearance, these mixed-race babies are no different from pure C people in other aspects such as language, accent, and living habits.
This move also encountered many objections, but in the end the demands of the bachelors prevailed, and many foreign underground cities also strongly requested it, and it was finally realized. It can be regarded as an alternative national integration.
The Kazakhstan-China trend is gaining popularity and will last forever.
…
The dark and cold surface has never been so "hot".
Under the leadership of the three huge fleets, various underground cities sent out their armies to fight against the extraordinary people. This battle lasted for more than a year. Many human extraordinary people advanced in this protracted battle and broke into the Holy Spirit Revelation Realm, which is the Saint Level.
Li Xiang's cousin Shen Wenqian, cousin Shen Zimo, Yao Yao's younger brother, Zhao Xueqing's younger brother, etc. also broke into the Saint level one after another.
The number of extraordinary people in the human race has also exceeded 100 million.
The rise of the human race accelerated Li Xiang's speed in refining the Heart of the Earth.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~”
Above the sky, the battleship's onboard particle cannon fired frequently, and with every shot, a strange beast fell in a pool of blood.
Under the cover of warships, on the surface, human extraordinary people defeated the alien beasts.
Frost and flames intertwined, the roars of strange beasts and the collision of weapons shook the wilderness, blood soaked the scorched earth, and the air was filled with the smell of rust and gunpowder.
Suddenly, there was a low humming sound from deep underground, as if the earth itself had awakened.
The people who were fighting looked up and were horrified to find that the thick black fog that had lingered on the earth for years was actually fading away at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was grabbed by an invisible giant hand.
The black fog rolled up into huge waves, roaring and rushing into space. Its force was like a torrent bursting through a dam, or an undercurrent breaking free from shackles.
Although the darkness still exists, there is no longer the feeling of "seeing flowers in the fog" or being shrouded in fog. The clarity of peacetime has been restored.
"what happened?"
"What's going on?"
Not many people knew that Li Xiang was working hard to integrate the heart of the earth, so everyone was very curious, but soon some smart people associated it with the "wonders" that appeared on the moon in the past.
When Li Xiang became the master of the moon, the black fog dissipated and retreated to an altitude of 300 kilometers in space. There is a video on the Internet that specifically explains this.
"Fuck, could it be that Master Li refined the Earth? Has he completely become the master of the Earth?"
"Oh my god, a planetary master? This is the only explanation."
"I was wondering why I haven't seen Li Shen in the past one or two years. It turns out he was hiding underground doing something so earth-shattering!"
The strange beasts seemed to have realized the truth. Their morale dropped even further and they were defeated.
There were some powerful holy-level beasts that were fighting desperately, but now they realized that the situation was hopeless and they all fled.
Some fled into space and flew to other planets, some panicked and hid in mountain streams and deep cliffs, and most of them tried their best to escape to the nearest coastline.
They know that if they hide in the sea, they still have a chance of survival.
"We should use the remaining courage to pursue the enemy!" Jiang Caier gave the order and blew the charge horn.
The impassioned charge resounded throughout the entire earth, but Jiang Caier separated a digital life clone and came to the dark universe near the center of the earth.
"Brother Xiang, you succeeded?" Jiang Caier was inexplicably happy.
After a while, Yao Yao, Ailin, Chiba Xuexu, Chaolu and Xiwu also appeared in the dark universe world in the center of the earth. They gathered around Li Xiang and were happy for him.
"For such a happy event, we should open a bottle of sparkling wine to celebrate!" Yao Yao took out a bottle of fine wine worth hundreds of thousands of heat coins from her space gem ring. It was her limited edition specialty of Los Santos. She then took out a few wine glasses and filled them for everyone.
Unfortunately, Luo Feifei returned to the Qingling star field, while Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui were in charge of the situation on the moon and were unable to attend.
"This wine is good. It is mellow and mellow on the palate, with a unique aroma and rich layers. More importantly, it contains high amounts of spiritual energy," Li Xiang praised.
"Thank you, brother. If you like to drink it, I will pick some better quality ones and send them to you later. Well, everyone can have some, just don't mind." Yao Yao didn't want to send it to only Li Xiang. She was used to being a good person, so how could she make such a small mistake.
This sparkling wine is the result of mutated grapes in a valley near Los Santos. It was discovered by a team of extraordinary people in Los Santos, who dug it up and presented it to Yao Yao, who then ordered people to plant it in an underground farm.
Originally there was only one plant, but this mutant plant grew very fast, and within a year the garden was full of green and abundant fruits.
The wine made from this kind of grape has become a specialty of Los Santos. However, the high-end wine has certain requirements on brewing time and has not yet been officially launched on the market.
They couldn't just drink alcohol, Li Xiang had a thought, and a round table appeared in front of him, with a chair for each person. He also took out many precious spiritual fruits and placed them on the table, as well as many snacks and nuts that he had previously stocked for everyone to drink with.
This can also be considered a celebration banquet, and it is the only one of its kind in the dark universe of the inner world.
Jiang Caier didn't want to spoil his fun, and besides, they were just eating and drinking and didn't do anything else.
For a while, everyone was chatting and laughing.
Li Xiang also knew about all the big and small things that had happened to them or around them in the past two years.
When Li Xiang came out of seclusion and announced to the world that he had become the master of the earth, reaching the 49th level of planetary domination, the world was shocked.
"Fuck, it turns out our guess was true! Master Li really succeeded!"
"Planetary Domination, what does that mean? Will it live as long as the Earth?"
In fact, it is not. The Planetary Domination Realm only integrates the will of the planet, which is equivalent to taking a shortcut. The lifespan still has its limit, which is only hundreds of thousands of years.
But hundreds of thousands of years is already an eternity for many people. The recorded history of Country C is only 5,000 years, so hundreds of thousands of years is really a long time.
Some people were desperate and had completely given up the idea of competing with Li Xiang. Originally, that person was happy that he had broken through the Saint level and had the hope of catching up, but he didn't know that Li Xiang had made greater progress. Now there was such a big gap that he would never catch up in several lifetimes.
The most important thing is that there is only one Earth, and both the Earth and the Moon are occupied by Li Xiang. How can others ascend?
"No matter what, God Li succeeded, the crisis for our human race has been resolved, and we can return to our home on the surface in no time!"
Many people were excited, and when the army of alien beasts was driven into the sea or space, endless crowds cheered.
Many people who did not participate in the war also took to the streets and began to celebrate.
The long-closed alloy gate of the underground city opened, and some people wearing thick protective clothing came to the dark surface, breathing the cold air. The smell of freedom was everywhere.
It happened to be the New Year's Day holiday, so Jiang Caier announced that on top of the New Year's Day holiday, there would be five more days of holiday, for a total of eight days of holiday, without any adjustment, so that people could celebrate together.
Other countries followed suit, and the eight-day holiday became a tradition, especially January 6, which became the annual Earth Rebirth Day.
The symbolic meaning of this festival is that human civilization has reached a turning point in the end of the black fog and the earth is rejuvenated. It is also a special festival to commemorate Li Xiang's achievements.
On the contrary, the traditional New Year's Day is rarely mentioned.
Just like the five-day holiday on May 1st, there are originally May 1st Labor Day and May 4th Youth Day, but most people only mention Labor Day.
The sense of ceremony of Earth Rebirth Day far exceeds that of New Year's Day.
People all over the world are celebrating.
Country C held a gala that spanned the Earth and the Moon, and its scale was even larger than the Spring Festival Gala.
There were thirty-six branch venues alone.
The most eye-catching and popular venue is undoubtedly the "Moon Palace, Star Palace, Fantasy Moon" amusement park on the moon, which uses holographic projection technology to broadcast live and interact with the world.
Its featured programs include: extraordinary people demonstrating their supernatural powers, space mothership formation flight performances, and the re-enactment of epic scenes of humans fighting against alien beasts (such as several key battles in the "Earth Strikes Back", which were the six major battles recorded in later history books.) Among these six major battles, the most famous is naturally the "Decisive Battle in the Dark Universe Space at the Center of the Earth", which was considered by later generations to "open the prelude to the Earth's great counterattack."
Li Xiang led Jiang Caier, Luo Feifei and nine other goddesses, and joined forces with four earth spirits to encircle and suppress the five kings of alien beasts in the realm of God King. It can be said that this laid the foundation for Li Xiang to seize the "Heart of the Earth" and completely reversed the power balance between humans and alien beasts.
This decisive battle has been remade into countless versions of movies, special effects dramas, and animations... and has been popular on the Internet for tens of thousands of years and its popularity has not diminished.
The rumors about Li Xiang and the nine goddesses also spread like wildfire. I don’t know who started it, but it’s probably true.
However, given Li Xiang's current status as the "Heaven" in "Celebrate with Heaven", no one has any objections. Instead, people talk about it with relish after dinner and regard it as a romantic and elegant affair.
Shortly after humanity achieved complete victory in the counterattack and celebrated the "Earth Rebirth Day", something shocking happened.
That is, Chiba Yukio, with his twin magatama, led his eight underground cities and took the initiative to merge into Country C. From then on, the small book no longer existed, and there was only the Country C book province.
Originally, there were many underground cities in the small book, but later there were only eight left. These eight were gradually taken over by Chiba Xuexu and her daughter. After their defection, the original Zi Kingdom naturally disappeared in the long river of history.
The global network exploded.
On social media platforms in various underground cities, terms such as "#本子灭国#" and "#Ｃ国界增速展#" dominated the trending searches, and the comment sections showed a mixed bag of scenes.
On the North American Freedom Forum, a highly praised comment read: "Oh my God! Country C annexed a country without bloodshed! Their extraordinary people can even 'shop online' for land?" The accompanying picture was a holographic image of the Xuanming mothership floating in Tokyo Bay.
A European historian tweeted mockingly: "This is much more efficient than Napoleon - Li Xiang used spiritual fruits and the Starry Sky Mothership to accomplish what Hitler failed to accomplish with tanks."
Internet users from the South Asian subcontinent dug up old stories: "They laughed at our underground city being breached by monsters, but now they are surrendering to the enemy? The spirit of Bushido has been thrown to the dogs!"
A netizen from the Sahel region of Africa shared a photo of the holographic ecological dome in Country C, leaving a message: "While we are still struggling for a mouthful of clean water, residents of Japan Province can already go to the 'Chan Palace Huanyue' to ride the interstellar roller coaster!"
The young people of the Bear Country launched a vote on VK: "Support the Siberian city-state to follow Chiba Yukio's example! Is it not too much to exchange three uranium mines for Jiang Caier's quantum computer?"
Someone retorted: "The knowledge base should be updated. What era is this? Uranium mines? Goddess Jiang is interested in your garbage uranium mines?"
In fact, these comments on the Internet are far from the truth. After all, most ordinary people only hear about it from others.
The most straightforward one was a Southeast Asian internet celebrity, who wore a Hanfu costume and a replica of a "fairy feather wooden hairpin" and shouted during a live broadcast: "Does the shopkeeper Li Xiang still need a concubine? I can dance the breathing version of "Little Apple"!"
This is a self-recommendation. This internet celebrity is known as the "Little Luo Feifei of Southeast Asia". She is only three-tenths similar to Luo Feifei, but she is already a stunning beauty. Her background is also quite extraordinary. She is the eldest daughter of a local powerful family.
However, to the disappointment of this internet celebrity known as "Little Luo Feifei of Southeast Asia", Li Xiang did not give any response.
She begged her father to apply to join Country C as well. After careful consideration, her father felt that it was feasible and might be an opportunity for them to take off. However, he was afraid that Country C would not look down on them at all.
Not everyone is envious, and many people are deeply broken. For example, a politician who was originally exiled from Ziguo denounced on the dark web: "Chiba mother and daughter are traitors! They have long been bribed by the AI butler and sparkling wine of City 03! They serve Li Xiang with their bodies, which is a shame to our Yamato nation!"
However, netizens retorted: "It's so funny. The last time someone said this, he was still digging potatoes in Siberia - thanks to Captain Lin Ye for 'escorting' the nuclear battery?"
Lin Ye's rebellion led to Li Xiang's personal action to wipe out the Siberian "Skull and Bones Society", which caused a sensation at the time and was a rare stain in the history of Country C. Later, it was often mentioned as a negative example.
What is even more heartbreaking is the hot search in Country C - the real estate agency in City 03 posted a "Special Package for Immigration in Benzi Province", which came with dialect translation earrings developed by "Tiansuan Energy Technology". The slogan read: "Zero communication barriers, hot pot of your choice!"
Not long after, Irene's base in Europe, along with the fifteen surrounding underground cities, also took the initiative to apply to be incorporated into Country C.
Irene originally only had a small base with a population of no more than 10,000 people, but the fifteen underground cities took the initiative to submit to Irene and begged her to lead them to join Country C.
If they requested individually, they might not have enough face, but with the relationship with Irene, there would be basically no obstacles.
All of a sudden, many underground cities asked to be incorporated into Country C.
After discussion, Li Xiang and Jiang Caier decided to establish the Earth Federation.
Jiang Caier was actually quite relieved: "My generosity paid off. These girls are really sensible."
The reason why Irene and Chiba Xuexi came to surrender was naturally to return the favor and respond to Jiang Caier's previous magnanimity.
From now on, Jiang Caier's "supercomputing center" will be located in all underground cities incorporated into Country C, and digital life clones and various cameras, surveillance, robot dogs, and robot spiders will naturally move in as well.
Not only will Jiang Caier's strength increase greatly, but with such efficient management, these underground cities will prosper. The more prosperous the human beings on Earth become, the more luck Li Xiang will have, and he will naturally become more powerful.
As a reward, after all, she had taken away someone else's foundation, so Jiang Caier decided to give Chiba Xuexu and her daughter and Irene 8% of the "Tiansuan Energy" shares each.
Tiansuan Energy Technology Group is a complex of multiple fields including aerospace, energy, and military industry. It is expanding at a high growth rate of 30% per year. 8% of its shares is also a very astonishing fortune.
As for Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui, they already had shares in it.
