Chapter 229: Chapter 228 A Reminder for Ming Zhong

“In order to research what energy source can replace ‘human blood,’ achieving mechanized production of symbol printing, considering the comprehensiveness of the experiment, this application is proposed. We hope that the president approves the purchase of oil, electricity, controlled nuclear fusion, ion-powered symbol printing machine assembly parts, and experiment sites. The total quotation is… this much?!”

In the President’s office, Ming Zhong nearly popped his eyes out upon seeing the application handed over by Dao Sect Elder Su.

The Ming Zhong civilization can only guarantee the most basic living conditions for people. To live a better life, they still need to work hard to earn money, so currency has not disappeared.

The mechanization of symbolic printing is beneficial to Jiuzhou and them. Apparently, the large investment is a negligible one compared to future benefits.

“Approved.”

“The application for establishing an academy of cultivation… approved.”

“Considering national security, we should conduct military exercises using multiple Transcendance Tribulation stages of Jiuzhou and one Mahayana Realm as hypothetical enemies and focus on researching new weapons, preventing risks from the higher-ups in Jiuzhou… who in their right mind would make such a proposal?”

Ming Zhong glanced at the applicant, as expected it was the person in charge of national defense.

It has been several years since Jiang Li pacified the war and eliminated most of the ferocious beasts. People were inspired, united, and at a cost much less than anticipated, they finally exterminated the beasts.

The person in charge of national defense played a huge role in this process, and was a well-deserved combat hero.

But after he developed emotions, he began to long for war.

Now is a time of peace, he can’t find an opponent to wage war against, so he focuses on Jiuzhou.

“Using Transcendance Tribulation stage and Mahayana stage as hypothetical enemies, as of now, we can’t even defeat the Body Integration Realm beast!”

In Ming Zhong’s view, the gap between their civilization and Jiang Li’s is even larger than that between primitive people in the Stone Age and modern armies.

Experts in humanities and social sciences can’t understand the order of

Jiuzhou. There isn’t much individual disparity in the Ming Zhong world, while in Jiuzhou, the difference between individuals is like heaven and earth. In this situation, hizh-level cultivators would satisfv their private desires and act

recklessly, causing Jiuzhou to be in chaos.

Yet, the situation Jiuzhou is exhibiting is the exact opposite.

A Dao Sect elder brought the book “A Brief History of Jiuzhou,” and the experts in humanities and social sciences treasure it like a divine trove, conducting research day and night. They finally drew a conclusion – it’s because of the existence of the Human Emperor.

When Jiuzhou was connected with the Immortal Realm, the demon path was rampant, ordinary people were regarded as insignificant as mustard, without the protection of the righteous path, they could be randomly eliminated. Everyone was fearful. In order to become strong, all means were acceptable, without the distinction of right or wrong, which led to extreme disorder.

But as the Immortal Realm disappeared and the Heavenly Demons invaded from outside regions, the Human Emperor appeared, establishing a concept of right and wrong for Jiuzhou. What is beneficial to all beings is right, and what is not is wrong.

The judgement of what is beneficial to all beings was up to the Human Emperor.

Under the maintenance of generations of Human Emperors, Jiuzhou obtained order, and under the reign of the current emperor, Jiang Li, the order has reached a new height.

Different from the previous emperors, Jiang Li possesses absolute power.

Some forces in the past considered themselves invincible and didn’t obey the emperor’s orders, leaving the human emperors gnashing their teeth in anger but unable to do anything. These forces don’t dare to oppose Jiang Li.

In the eyes of the experts, Jiang Li is a very special person. He is so strong that even the Heavenly Demons wouldn’t pose a threat to him; there is nothing in Jiuzhou that can restrict him.

Considering common sense, as the strongest, Jiang Li should enjoy the rights of the strongest, have his life filled with power and pleasure, and not care about the state of Jiuzhou as long as he is fine. This is human selfishness.

However, Jiang Li is constantly thinking about Jiuzhou and seldom takes himself into account; this can only mean that his inner morality is at work.

The experts unanimously believe that Jiang Li, the 72nd Human Emperor of Jiuzhou, is a saint.

After reading the experts’ analysis report on Jiang Li and connecting with his own experiences of interacting with Jiang Li, Ming Zhong agreed with this conclusion.

After rejecting the application, Ming Zhong began to consider leveraging some excuse to get the defense minister to retire.

“Busy?”

Ming Zhong raised his head in surprise to find Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu in his office.

Is this what they call thinking makes it so? The Human Emperor Jiang Li really does have immense divine skills.

“With the Human Emperor Jiang Li and Sect Master Bai’s visit, no matter how big of a task, it has to be put aside. Besides, there is nothing too urgent right now,” Ming Zhong laughed and warmly welcomed the two.

The two didn’t refuse and sat down to discuss with Ming Zhong their experiences in the outline of civilization.

The news was too shocking; after a while, Ming Zhong accepted it all.

“So there really are extraterrestrials?” Ming Zhong recalled the first time he saw Jiang Li, mistaking him for an extraterrestrial.

“Is the Human Emperor implying that, concerning the outline civilization, we are, in fact, the intruders?”

Ming Zhong had the feeling of taking over someone else’s nest. The indigenous outline civilization vanished, leaving only a server behind. In contrast, under the help of Jiang Li, they, the remnants of the Immortal Realm, surmounted the crisis, flourished, and became the masters of this universe.

“It was to warn you not to follow the same old path as the outline civilization, but it seems like you have similar holographic simulators. Since there hasn’t been any problem, maybe I was overthinking.”

“No, your words are very useful; they serve as a warning to our civilization.” Ming Zhong was solemn.

“I hope to record what you just mentioned as a classified document, circulated only among presidents. What do you think?”

“As you wish.”

After expressing his thanks, Ming Zhong continued, “Beforehand, the all-encompassing entry to the virtual world didn’t occur because there were ferocious beasts. Everyone was busy developing technology, and no one had the luxury to enjoy the virtual world.”

“But now that the ferocious beasts have disappeared and there’s no external pressure, people have a tendency to be overly free and dispersed, and many want to live in the virtual world forever.”

“I didn’t pay much attention to this situation before, thinking that it was just a way to indulge. Now it seems to have a massive impact on the real world. The virtual world does not engage in production, which will hinder the progress of the entire civilization. We need to hold expert discussions to study how to deal with this trend.’

“Look at this.” Ming Zhong turned the holographic screen to Jiang Li to show a proposal from the Academy of Science a few days ago about national strategy.

The proposal thoroughly explained the advantages of the virtual world and the disadvantages of the real society. It claimed that human evolution’s trend is moving from the real world to the virtual world. The conclusion was that all citizens should enter the virtual world.

The proposal also said that this generation, in order to defeat the beasts, removed their feelings at all costs and should go to the virtual world for enjoyment. The task of building the real world should be left to the next generation, making this a national strategy. At the bottom was Ming Zhong’s instructions.

Rejected.

The next generation isn’t made up of idiots. Ming Zhong believed that the next generation would end up telling the generation after them to build the virtual world, and it would continue indefinitely, ultimately interrupting the progress of civilization.

Without knowing about the outline civilization, he would have made this decision. Now that the warning of the outline civilization is before him, Ming Zhong would never let such a thing happen.

Suddenly, a vast and despairing energy spread across the continent.

“A Heavenly Demon from Outside Region?!” Jiang Li stood up abruptly..
