Zhang Lang finished reading the post and was completely stunned.
The realistic images and vivid immersion showed him a whole new world.
Could there really be extraterrestrial civilizations?
He immediately refreshed the post and found countless comments already posted below.
“Confirmed! The video is not photoshopped, it’s real!”
“Incredible! What did I just see? Am I seeing things?”
“Tianhe Empire… Sanjiang Star Domain Federation… Fire Kirin Empire, are these all real?”
“I’m an astronomy enthusiast, and after checking, the fleet in the video is indeed approaching the Solar System.”
“Are we really going to join the Tianhe Empire? If it’s true, I think it’s a good thing as life there would be beyond our wildest dreams.”
“I agree with joining, but I still can’t believe it’s true. I’ll definitely have to go see for myself in three days.”
Zhang Lang hurriedly ran inside to tell his parents, only to find them watching the same video on TV with shock on their faces.
Every TV station in the world had interrupted their regular programs to broadcast the shocking video, which had stunned all of humanity.
For a time, the entire world was immersed in discussions about the video. Experts came forward to confirm its authenticity, while governments urged people not to panic and promised to investigate.
But according to public opinion, over ninety percent of people on Earth seemed willing to join the Tianhe Empire.
At this point, almost no one considered the procedures and statuses involved in joining the Empire or cared about these issues.
In their eyes, a brand-new, wonderful world had opened its doors to them.
Anyone who tried to oppose or question the idea would be drowned in a sea of criticism.
Lin Zhen put away the Star-gazing Mirror; he had seen everything, too.
He could even use the mirror to clearly observe the scale of the Tianhe Empire’s fleet.
He sighed in his heart, the difference between this life and his previous one wasn’t too big.
The Tianhe Empire didn’t launch a conquest campaign immediately; after arriving on Earth, they spent some time propagating the beauty of the outer world.
People were entirely immersed in their propaganda, never realizing that the invaders were from highly advanced civilizations that far surpassed Earth in both technology and cultivation.
How could a superior civilization treat an inferior one equally?
City Defense Army lowered their guard, martial artists were unprepared, and people excitedly gathered together to imagine the wonderful lives they would lead in the future.
It wasn’t until the Tianhe Empire introduced their social hierarchy that people’s fantasies were shattered.
Royal family, nobility, citizens, poor, slaves – the strict layers of the system left people in despair. According to the Tianhe Empire’s requirements, 99 percent of Earth’s population were to become slaves!
Only those who reached the War God Period realm were qualified to be considered poor, or if someone made extraordinary contributions to the Tianhe Empire, they could be granted the status of poor as an exception.
It’s worth noting that poor people were not allowed to purchase residences in the Tianhe Empire, just like those on Earth who were not qualified to buy houses.
Slaves had it even worse, as they were entirely subject to their lords without any social rights or even protection for their lives.
They could only dedicate everything they had to their lords, subject to purchase, manipulation, and even killing.
Only by becoming Citizen would one have a place in the Tianhe Empire, but to become a citizen, reaching the Star Realm was a prerequisite. Those below the Star Realm could not become citizens.
When the invaders from the Tianhe Empire proposed these demands, the people of Earth united in opposition, sparking a mass slaughter.
In his previous life, there was a Star Sky Divine Teaching that further disarmed people’s suspicions when the Tianhe Empire’s envoys arrived, claiming to be messengers of the true gods.
In this life, without the Gods Clan, the situation was slightly better. Lin Zhen believed that Earth’s learned men would not be easily deceived anymore.
But of course, Lin Zhen still needed to do what he had to do.
Although he was still in the Bermuda waters unable to leave, he already had a plan.
With a thought, Lin Zhen used his Spiritual Power to summon Baggio.
Baggio, whose soul was locked by Lin Zhen, could sense Lin Zhen’s call and immediately flew his aircraft towards the direction of Bermuda.
The Black Ghost arrived above Lin Zhen’s head, and Baggio descended from it, landing in the sea water.
The two met in the sea water, using their Dantian energy to create a small space for conversation within the water.
“Lin Zhen, you were looking for me.”
“Yes, you saw the video online, right?”
“I did. So there really are extraterrestrial civilizations?”
“Indeed, I came here this time to tell you something.”
Lin Zhen first pulled out his cell phone and posted a thread on the internet.
“All my Hua Xia compatriots, and people of the world, the advent of extraterrestrial civilization brings unpredictable fortunes and disasters. They possess powerful martial force, and I advise you not to be blinded by their attractive side.”
“Not everyone can enjoy such a wonderful life. Can you believe that a cosmic civilization would easily accept the fragile life on Earth? Put simply, what value do ordinary people have to them?”
“We can join them, but we must rely on ourselves to fight for our rights and interests. We are going there as humans, not as dogs!”
“So I propose here not to let people gather on a large scale, not to let them get too close, and for all the governments, city defense forces, and martial artists to be prepared. Once the situation changes, we must not give them the opportunity to converge and annihilate us.”
“After they arrive, we can send representatives to negotiate with them. If our demands and goals are not met, we should not believe any of their promises.”
“If it comes to using force, please stay calm in your homes and wait for the final outcome and judgment. Lin Zhen will never stand idly by.”
After posting the thread, Lin Zhen said to Baggio, “Now you go back, bring your people together, and find my parents, Su Mingyue, and An Ning. Move the important figures to the Australian continent, where there are no humans, so it’s perfect for hiding.”
Baggio nodded repeatedly, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
“Then call some people and tell them it’s my notification. Let them all be prepared, as the visitors of extraterrestrial civilization have ill intentions.”
Lin Zhen handed Baggio a list containing almost all the people he knew, who were now all among Earth’s elites.
Of course, the people on this list were mainly from Hua Xia, and Lin Zhen still wanted to take extra care of his own country.
As for the other international figures, they could also see Lin Zhen’s thread. If they were not too foolish, they would know to be cautious.
Baggio agreed and left with Lin Zhen’s list.
Lin Zhen sighed silently, knowing that this was all he could do for now. The greatest casualties on Earth were caused by the first wave of attacks from extraterrestrial civilizations. If people don’t gather together, then this single action alone could save nearly half of the lives on Earth.
If anyone else said something like this, it might not have any effect. But after all of Lin Zhen’s efforts, almost every person on Earth knew him, and his words carried great weight.
In particular, the majority of Hua Xia’s people should heed his advice, cool their overheated minds, and evade the impending disaster.
As long as the first wave of slaughter passes, what follows is a war between the martial artists and the extraterrestrial civilization. If the people of Earth preserve their strength, they might not be entirely powerless.
Having done all this, Lin Zhen’s body submerged again.
Time is running out, and Lin Zhen must seize every moment to challenge his limits, accomplish those goals, and truly compete with the extraterrestrial civilization!
Looking once more at the approaching fleet through the Star-gazing Mirror, Lin Zhen’s heart surged with excitement.
Tianhe Empire, here he was again, re-entering the vast outer world that was his stage. Lin Zhen remembered the countless events that had taken place there clearly. This time, he was determined to reach the peak!
Lin Zhen’s thread immediately caused a strong reaction worldwide.
Not everyone around the world admired Lin Zhen, and there were no small number of people who resented him.
For example, the European Union, Sand Russia, the United States, and even India were naturally hostile to Hua Xia, and Lin Zhen had brought them no small amount of humiliation.
So when Lin Zhen’s thread appeared, it was met with many attacks from foreigners.
They thought Lin Zhen was merely speculating and even had ulterior motives.
It must be that Lin Zhen saw an opportunity and wanted to be the representative for negotiations, in order to gain greater benefits for himself or his country in this event.
After all, from Lin Zhen’s previous performance, he was a narrow-minded nationalist, only caring about his own country. If he were to make contact with the people of the Tianhe Empire, he might sell out the people of other countries.
You, Lin Zhen, won’t let us go? Well, now we’re determined to go!
Even in Hua Xia, there were examples of this sentiment.
For instance, someone called “Lin Zhen’s Ex-Girlfriend” appeared on the internet.
This person was also from Ice City, named Li Mengxi. She claimed online that Lin Zhen was her ex-boyfriend, but he eventually abandoned her and fell in love with Su Mingyue and An Ning.
She even posted some pictures of her and Lin Zhen when they were young. While the pictures were real, Lin Zhen was still quite naive at the time, and the two seemed to have a close relationship.
In her post, she portrayed Lin Zhen as a heartless playboy and an extremely selfish person.
She claimed he was opportunistic, hypocritical, cold-hearted, and so on.
She spread the word on the internet, saying that she would definitely join the Tianhe Empire on the opposite side of Lin Zhen and never see Lin Zhen’s face on Earth ever again.
Lin Zhen was a national hero, an idol to all, and was almost synonymous with the strongest fighting power of Hua Xia at that time, so naturally no one opposed him.
But now, with the strong emergence of the Tianhe Empire, some people’s views have become twisted.
From now on, they would become part of the Tianhe Empire, and they wouldn’t need to care about Lin Zhen’s opinions on Earth any longer. With Li Mengxi’s real photographic evidence and possibly because they were unwilling to accept Lin Zhen’s strong rise to prominence, some people were inflamed, opposing Lin Zhen’s proposal.
Who is Lin Zhen to stand in the way of them pursuing a better life?
No one has the right to stop them from pursuing happiness, even if Lin Zhen had saved them before!
