Just 8 billion people
Chapter 99: Tsk tsk, only 8 million humans
Chapter 99 Tsk tsk, only billion humans (Part )
The vast expanse of deep space.
Countless stars are scattered among them.
Like tiny diamonds, inlaid on a black velvet curtain.
Bright or dark, far or near, blazingly bright or faint and hazy…
And among the shining stars.
The Milky Way seemed to be flashing with unprecedented light, flowing exceptionally “boilingly” in the deep space.
Incidentally, it also illuminated the purple planet in the distance that was both “small” and “huge”.
Yes.
The earth turned purple.
Xiao Yu, who was far away in deep space and rushing over “rapidly”, naturally noticed this as well.
‘Damn it! ’
“Those high-dimensional creatures arrived so quickly…”
The increasing anxiety in his mind made him no longer hide his shortcomings.
Immediately burst out with all your strength!
Go straight ahead!
The speed suddenly increased from 16 kilometers per hour to 17.5.
Over the past two years.
He never had a lazy day.
It has been running towards the earth persistently and unwaveringly.
The speed also gradually increased from ten kilometers per hour at the beginning to eleven, twelve, thirteen… and now to more than fifteen kilometers per hour.
Although this level of movement is still insignificant on the scale of a planetary system.
But at least it’s a lot faster than Japanese cars, right?
of course.
Such improvement has nothing to do with his own “training” results.
It’s just because his “new body” has gradually taken shape.
Different from the gaseous state last time.
This new body is a barely detectable ball of light.
Inside, it’s made up of billions of chaotic, swirling photons.
And it keeps expanding!
‘Based on previous experience.’
“This round of resurrection should also take exactly three years.”
Looking at the purple planet in front of him that seemed to have never been pulled in, Xiao Yu’s thoughts were as messy as tangled photons.
If he had to wait three years every time his civilization upgraded its dimension…
It is obvious that mankind will perish.
‘unless……’
Deep in his mind, a sense of violence that could not be described in words rose up again.
Xiao Yu’s new body composed of “photons” showed signs of disintegration.
But soon, he calmed down.
He urged his “delayed” ball of light to continue accelerating.
At 17.6 kilometers per hour…
……
Earth.
Dongda, Baicheng.
The capital of the Great Xiao Dynasty.
Led by the guards, Chen Banxian, Xiao Guanguan and Xiao Yaya came to the main hall in the middle of the imperial palace.
Different from other side halls.
The main hall was built to be taller and more majestic.
Standing directly on the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps!
Looking up, you can see the vermilion door is completely open, with exquisite and lifelike dragon and phoenix patterns carved on the lintel.
Walking up the stairs, step by step, into the main hall.
The first thing that catches your eye is the two rows of tall columns supporting the dome.
Under each pillar stood at least one senior figure of the Great Xiao Dynasty, staring straight at Chen Banxian and the other two who came in.
Apparently, these people had gathered and waited for a long time…
Haven’t been out for a long time.
Chen Banxian dressed up specially.
He wore a navy blue gown with cloud patterns embroidered on the corners and the three characters “Wendaomen” embroidered on the chest.
A white LV belt is tied around the waist.
He has a thin figure, a kind face, and a look of incomparable wisdom…
As for Xiao Guanguan and Xiao Yaya, they were dressed in daily clothes.
One had long hair like a waterfall, tied up with a jade hairpin.
One has a ponytail and looks neat and capable.
“Mr. Chen!”
Nicholas Joel, who was standing in the corner, was alerted when he saw someone coming, and hurried forward, respectfully holding Chen Banxian’s arm.
“Hey, it’s Gulila.” Chen Banxian looked him up and down: “It’s been a while since we last met.”
“Yes, it is.”
“Where have you been lately?”
“…” Nicholas Joel was silent.
Xiao Yaya, who was following behind Chen Banxian, answered quickly: “Didn’t he get exiled to the frontier by some woman?”
Nalan Yanran, who was sitting under the throne, said: “…”
In two years, Nalan Yanran became completely legal.
The already beautiful face became even more perfect.
Skin like snow.
Eyebrows like distant ink.
Eyes like autumn water.
The hair is tied up in a high bun.
It’s not crooked at all.
“Your Excellency Xiao Yaya.” Nalan Duxiu, who was leaning on a cane and wearing a white robe, had a blank expression on his face: “The Great Xiao Dynasty has a limit to its tolerance for you. Don’t always speak rudely.”
“Isn’t Da Xiao my brother’s? Our whole family has the surname Xiao, okay?” Xiao Yaya curled her lips.
“Sister, let’s not talk about this for now. We invited Elder Chen, you, and Sister Guan Guan here to discuss important matters.” Nalan Yanran smiled dignifiedly and waved her fair and slender right hand: “Come here, let Elder Chen take a seat.”
“Yes!”
The standing guard immediately took out a chair made of pure silver from the back hall and placed it in front of Nalan Yanran.
“Don’t you know the rules?” Nalan Yanran frowned slightly: “Put it on me.”
“……Yes.”
The guard broke out in a cold sweat, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, and immediately rearranged the chair.
Afterwards, Nalan Yanran stood up, and in front of all the senior executives present, she personally stepped forward and helped Chen Banxian to sit down.
“Putting on a show.” Xiao Yaya turned her head away with disdain.
“Yanran, I’ll do it myself.” Unlike Xiao Yaya, Chen Banxian had a good impression of Nalan Yanran.
“Mr. Chen, I’ve been busy lately and haven’t been able to spare the time to visit you.” Nalan Yanran lowered her voice and apologized in Chen Banxian’s ear.
“Busy. It’s better to be busy.”
Chen Banxian sat down calmly, holding the empty throne beside him with one hand, and took out his pipe with the other hand, lighting the tobacco unscrupulously in the magnificent hall.
Below, Nalan Duxiu frowned suddenly.
He opened his mouth, but said nothing.
On the stage.
Sitting next to Chen Banxian, Nalan Yanran looked around the room and spoke loudly: “Since Mr. Chen is here, let’s start the meeting. Nalan He, please introduce the situation.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Another cabinet member in a white robe stepped forward, raised the tablet device in his hand, and said solemnly: “According to observations from various observation points, the purple color of the sky all over the world is deepening at a rate of 16% per minute. And just like the first ‘purple miracle’ five years ago, the handover between the North District and the West District…”
“According to your majesty, it is not called ‘purple miracle’.” Nalan Yanran corrected at the right time: “It is a precursor to the invasion of high-dimensional creatures.”
“Yes, Your Highness.” Nalan He bowed his head deeply and changed his words: “This time, the ‘high-dimensional invasion’ is the same as the one five years ago. Deep purple cracks appeared in the sky above the junction of the North District and the West District. The lines stretch for more than 6,000 kilometers.”
“Is this crack also expanding?”
“Yes. It’s six centimeters in diameter.”
“Okay.” Nalan Yanran looked at another member of the cabinet: “What is the public opinion in society?” “Reporting to Your Highness.” Another member stepped forward and bowed: “Many people have fallen into panic. In some cities, riots and demonstrations have occurred. Because two years ago, Emperor Xiao Yu accurately ‘predicted’ the evolution of civilization. The people are very sure of the ‘high-dimensional invasion’.”
“What is prophecy?” Xiao Yaya couldn’t help but said, “That was pushed by my brother, okay? I found that these people in your Nalan family are thinking about how to reduce my brother’s influence every day, right?”
“Yaya!” Xiao Guanguan beside him hurriedly pulled Xiao Yaya’s sleeve.
“…Mr. Xiao Yaya, please be careful with your words.” The congressman’s tone turned cold and his expression was gloomy: “That’s not what I meant.”
“Then what do you mean?” Xiao Yaya refused to give in: “In your family, whoever feeds you is your mother.”
“Xiao Yaya!” Chen Banxian’s face was stern and he knocked on the throne: “One day of feeding! Lifelong mother! How do you talk to children?”
All the Nalan family members present: “…”
Because the previous two times, Xiao Yu was always invincible once he appeared.
Therefore, apart from Chen Banxian’s family, the whole world actually doesn’t know Xiao Yu’s talent. He needs to be “resurrected” and then dormant before his strength can be improved.
Therefore, after the birth of “Civilization Will”, Xiao Yu’s ranking has been steadily “declining” for more than two years.
Naturally, everyone agreed that Emperor Xiao Yu was unable to keep up with the evolution.
This will certainly have far-reaching impacts in the political upper echelons where things are treacherous and everyone is pursuing power and resources.
In fact, if there had not been staunch “royalists” such as Nalan Yanran, Nicholas Joel and the powerful Xiao Yaya, Emperor Xiao Yu’s throne might have been taken away long ago.
After all, humans are naturally good at forgetting the pain once the wound has healed.
It’s only been one chapter.
As long as Xiao Yu doesn’t show up to kill everyone, they will never remember the fear of being dominated by Xiao Yu…
“Sister Yaya, we are not here to quarrel today. Nalan Lingjia, please leave.”
Standing up, Nalan Yanran changed the subject and looked at Chen Banxian beside her: “Mr. Chen, regarding this ‘high-level invasion’, what else did His Majesty say to you at the beginning?”
“Let me think about it.” Crossing his legs and taking a few puffs of his cigarette, Chen Banxian pondered: “He seemed to have said that ‘high-dimensional invasion’ is inevitable and will come sooner or later…”
“…”
“……Gone?”
“Gone.”
Nalan Yanran: “…”
“Mr. Chen.” Nalan Duxiu narrowed his eyes and asked, “Regarding this ‘high-dimensional invasion’ statement, is there any relevant evidence to prove it? Also, I wanted to ask you a long time ago, how did Your Majesty know these terms ‘upgrading dimensions’ and ‘high-dimensional invasion’? Was it original?”
“Ah?” Chen Banxian looked up, bewildered: “What did you say?”
Nalan Duxiu: “…”
“I don’t know too much either.” Chen Banxian smoked again: “You can ask my grandson for details.”
Nalan Duxiu: “…”
“But the main thing is that the whole country must be mobilized. Xiao Yu is like me, honest and never speaks nonsense.”
Chen Banxian looked around the room and said, “If he said it was a ‘high-dimensional invasion’, then it must be a ‘high-dimensional invasion’. What is high-dimensional? High means tall and big. Dimensional means three-dimensional. Putting them together makes a tall three-dimensional. How brutal is this? Why don’t we quickly mobilize the army to prepare?”
The senior executives at the scene: “…”
About twenty minutes later.
The meeting broke up.
In the end, Nalan Yanran was unable to get any useful information from Chen Banxian and the other two.
However, for the sake of caution, he ordered the organization of several elite armies and stationed them under the purple cracks in the North and West regions.
Looking forward to it.
“Yanran, haven’t you thought about it yet?”
Nalan Yanran and Nalan Duxiu were the only ones left in the hall.
Nalan Duxiu said solemnly: “We can’t delay any longer.”
“…but at least we have to wait until this ‘high-dimensional invasion’ incident is over.” Nalan Yanran pursed her lips.
“Let’s decide now and carry it out after the ‘high-dimensional invasion’. The Jonas family has been ready to make a move for a long time.” Nalan Duxiu hammered his crutch hard.
“I know……”
After the second dimensional upgrade of civilization.
The gap between individual strengths has become even bigger.
Although most of the people in the Nalan family have caught up with the “evolution” team, their talents and potential are not the best in the world.
The reason why the ruling system of the “Great Xiao Dynasty” could be barely stabilized was only because the vested interest groups supported each other and outsourced their interests.
However, with the rapid rise of the “Jonas” family, whose members are all gifted,
The “grassroots team” of the Great Xiao Dynasty was increasingly unable to hold on.
“Jonas Bond has given me his final notice.” Nalan Duxiu sighed deeply, “If I don’t marry them, his family will attack us and establish their own dynasty.”
“But if I cancel the engagement, what will happen to Mr. Chen’s family?”
“Can you still take care of them now?”
“…”
“Yanran.” Nalan Duxiu took two steps forward and patted Nalan Yanran on the shoulder: “I know that you have only been in contact with Xiao Yu for a few days, and you have been his fiancée for two years. It is impossible that you don’t have a little bit of feelings. But whether from the perspective of the family force field or your personal interests, as long as you can be the queen, does it matter who is the emperor?”
“…”
“If Jonas and his men attack us, not only will you be able to maintain your position, but our family may even face annihilation!”
“…”
“So think about it. If you break off the engagement and marry into the Jonas family, not only will our family still be the core of power, but it will also be a good thing for Chen Banxian and the others. At least they won’t be slaughtered by Jonas.”
“But without the protection of the state apparatus, His Majesty Xiao Yu is ranked at the bottom and has no deterrent power. With the status of Old Chen’s family, which attracts a lot of attention… it’s not much better.”
“This is reality.” Nalan Duxiu shrugged: “Survival of the fittest. Respect natural selection.”
“…”
Nalan Yanran fell silent again.
Bow your head for a long time.
Sigh softly.
“it is good.”
“…”
“I agree to cancel the engagement…”
……
that’s it.
As time passes by quickly like quicksand.
Under the focused and intent gaze of eight billion people around the world.
The purple mist in the sky became thicker and thicker.
Like ink!
Like evil spirits!
Like miasma!
Spreading wildly.
Dark clouds are gathering.
The sky is gloomy.
It was as if the curtain of doomsday suddenly fell.
Everyone’s breathing was blocked by this invisible oppression and became difficult.
“Click——”
“Kaka——”
In the sky where the North District and the West District meet.
The purple crack gradually expanded into the size of a “canyon”.
The deafening and heart-shaking sound of glass breaking continued to hammer the hearts of the many army soldiers below.
And through the camera broadcast, the “thrill” spread all over the world.
Everything is changing so fast.
It was like a nightmare that suddenly fell.
Only by clearly witnessing the entire process of the “Purple Miracle”‘s changes can people feel the fear that transcends natural science and penetrates deep into the soul.
“Crack!”
“…”
“Wow–“
at last.
The gates of hell collapsed.
The purple canyon was completely shattered!
A rotating vortex slowly emerged from the depths of the crack, like a ghostly eye, staring at everything coldly.
“coming!”
A certain commander roared with cold sweat pouring down his face.
One hundred and twenty thousand soldiers, ready to go!
