The entire world quietened down and lost all sound. Or rather, it could be said that the miserable state of the Blood Demon Race in this short half a minute caused everyone to shut their mouths in shock.
They had all heard the terrifying legend of the Blood Demon Race destroying a level-7 civilization with a flip of their hand and knew that it was a curse. However, no one had thought that this curse would be so overbearing.
Half a minute! In just half a minute! A powerful civilization had vanished into thin air, and it had died in such a miserable manner! It was no wonder that in the past dozens of eras, no matter how big the crimes the Blood Demon Race committed, the Star Alliance would only choose to punish them lightly. This was because no civilization was willing to completely oppose the Blood Demon Race. They were definitely a terrifying force that could drag any civilization in the Star Alliance down if they fought to the death.
However, such a powerful force had been destroyed by a single person just now. Furthermore, this person was merely a Solid Core …
Countless people in the stands felt a chill down their spines. The more they understood how powerful the Blood Demon Race was, the more they could sense how powerful Wang Zhong was! Not to mention the level-5, level-6, and level-7 civilizations, even the few level-8 civilizations on the main stage, stood up at that moment.
What Solid Core? What Junior? With such strength, it was impossible for anyone to regard this Earthling as someone they could control.
The strong deserved absolute respect! Furthermore, this was a terrifying existence that could reshuffle the powers of the entire Land.
"The Civilization War between the Blood Demon Race and the Earth …" Superintendent Erza took a deep breath, and her voice sounded in the air with her usual majesty, as well as a hint of respect for Wang Zhong. "The winner is the Earth!"
The entire arena paused for a few seconds. It was not because of Superintendent Erza's announcement, but because Superintendent Erza's voice had pulled them back from the shock and sluggishness.
Pa pa pa …
A round of applause sounded from the main platform. It was from Elder Yimo, Clan Leader Carloze, Clan Leader Illidan, and the other big shots.
Closely after, the Titans, the Illusion Race, Ocean Empire Planet, Heavenly Treasures Street …
Pa! Pa pa pa! Pa pa pa pa pa!!
"Earth's civilization! Earth civilization! "
"His Highness Wang Zhong is number one in the world!"
"Earth is invincible!"
"I love monks! I love Baldy! "
"Boss! This is my boss! Hey, hey, hey, this is really my boss. We were in the same dormitory in the Heavenly Gates! Damn it, who dares to not accept it! Stand out for me! "
The scattered applause quickly became loud and clear. Coupled with the earth-shattering cheers and wild laughter, it was like a wildfire that instantly ignited the entire arena.
This was a result that surprised everyone. There must be a lot of people who lost money today, but even those who lost their bets were cheering from the bottom of their hearts.
So what if I lose some money? What could be more exciting than witnessing an era and the birth of a king that could be recorded in the annals of history?
He won? We won?!
In the stands of the Earthlings, Wang Zhanfeng, Lan Daier, and the others had tears in their eyes. Laura and Milami hugged each other emotionally. Emily grabbed Ma Dong's short hair tightly. "Ma Dong Dong! Victory! We won! Brother Wang Zhong has won! "
"I know! I know! " Ma Dong grimaced in pain. At this moment, he no longer had the image of a superior that he had developed over the past few years. He cried, laughed, and bared his teeth. His cousin was too strong, and his scalp was about to be pulled off. However, he forgot to reprimand her because at this moment, he was not the ruler of the Earth, but an ordinary Earthling who had won the entire world. He was Wang Zhong's brother. His eyes were red and misty. No one knew if it was because he was in pain or because he was touched. "Lao Wang is still so awesome!"
In the lounge on Earth, Mu Zi, Aiolos, Mo Wen, and the others rushed out and surrounded Wang Zhong, who was below the arena.
"Wang Zhong!"
Everyone's eyes were full of joy. Although everyone had come to this Civilization War without hesitation, to be honest, other than Mu Zi, even the strongest Mo Wen did not have the slightest confidence in defeating the Blood Demon Race, let alone annihilating the entire Blood Demon Race!
However, Lao Wang just smiled. Being in the world of the black and white chessboard gave him a particularly wonderful feeling. It was as if he was in control of everything. He could even easily distinguish how many of the cheers from the millions of people present were sincere and how many were fake. He could even sense countless people with evil intentions, jealousy, and even hatred … Of course, these were no longer important.
The Earth was a mere level-4 civilization in everyone's eyes, but they had easily annihilated the Blood Demon Race with a record of winning five battles. This was too different from everyone's expectations, and it was inevitable that there would be a psychological gap. Furthermore, the Blood Demon Race had stood in the Star Alliance for dozens of eras, and there would always be some die-hard allies and subordinate civilizations. It was reasonable for these people to have various emotions. However, it was obvious that they could only think about it and hate in their minds. Faced with the Earth, which was now rising like the sun in the sky, these people were no longer able to cause any waves.
He just raised his head and looked in the direction of Superintendent Erza in mid-air.
The Civilization War was over, but the Earth had not accepted the Blood Demon Race. This was a huge transfer of wealth. Even if no one dared to offend the Earth now, if the Star Alliance did not say anything or help them, the Earth would not even be able to estimate how many assets the Blood Demon Race had, let alone accept them.
There was a complicated expression in Superintendent Erza's eyes, but she was not hesitant. It was just that when she faced Wang Zhong, who she had regarded as a junior not long ago, she would inevitably have some different emotions. However, she quickly controlled the thoughts in her heart and announced in a clear voice, "We have won the Civilization War, and the Earth will replace the Blood Demon Race. As the Heavenly Gates Superintendent and the Vice President of the Star Alliance Council, I appoint the Earth as the 21st level-7 civilization in the Star Alliance!"
The vast voice caused the extremely noisy Arena to slowly quiet down again. Even though everyone knew that the Earth would definitely obtain all of this, the attitude of the Star Alliance could still determine many things. After all, the Blood Demon Race had suffered the backlash of the Blood Propagation Curse, and they had probably been completely wiped out in just a few minutes. Many civilizations that had business dealings with the Blood Demon Race and had goods on credit pricked up their ears. If the Star Alliance's announcement was slightly vague, they could simply renege on their old debts with the Blood Demon Race.
"At the same time, given that no one from the Blood Demon Race has survived, the Star Alliance will immediately seal all the funds, debts, real estate, and wealth of the Blood Demon Race. The Machinery Race will be involved in the property statistics and inventory of the Blood Demon Race. All civilizations that have business dealings with the Blood Demon Race must take the initiative to cooperate. If anyone is unlucky or embezzles the wealth that should belong to the Earth in any form, once they are found, a fine of ten times the amount will be imposed if the circumstances are minor. If the circumstances are serious, they will be punished for betraying the Star Alliance! "
The Arena was quiet, and not a single sound could be heard.
As expected …
Everyone had seen how the Star Alliance dealt with the properties of civilizations that had been destroyed. Generally speaking, when a civilization had been destroyed, most of the time, they would only count their remaining resources and wealth on the surface. The Star Alliance would basically turn a blind eye to the hidden accounts. If one was willing to hand it over, then hand it over. If not, then forget it. Firstly, most of the civilizations that had their properties confiscated were only level-5 or level-6 civilizations. Their wealth was limited, and the Star Alliance did not think much of them. Secondly, this kind of audit work that involved an entire massive civilization was too troublesome and complicated. It was impossible to check every single account clearly as the project was too big.
But now, they actually wanted to thoroughly check all the accounts of the Blood Demon Race and even let the Machinery Race intervene. They wanted to check all civilizations that had business dealings with the Blood Demon Race! How big of a project was this? How much manpower and material resources would be wasted? In the end, they would only be helping the Earth, and the Star Alliance would not be able to obtain any benefits.
However, the Star Alliance did not hesitate at all. Instead, they simply gave the Earth the heaviest punishment!
One could imagine that with such high pressure, no one would dare to renege on their debts. Yes, it was impossible for the Star Alliance to check every account clearly, but it was better to be safe than sorry. If the Machinery Race found out, it would be a disaster that would lead to the extinction of the Earth Race.
This was giving the Earthlings enough face … No, it should be said that they were giving Wang Zhong face!
Obviously, even the few high and mighty level-8 civilizations in the Star Alliance had sensed how terrifying and intimidating Wang Zhong was. They treated the Earth as a superpower that was on equal footing with them.
"Thank you, Superintendent!" There was no surprise or emotion on Lao Wang's face. He simply looked very normal. A person's mentality was largely dependent on their strength. When one truly stood at the peak of this world and looked down on everyone, one would realize that it was very difficult for anything in this world to shock or surprise them.
"Wang Zhong! Wang Zhong! Wang Zhong! Wang Zhong! "
No one knew who started it, but Wang Zhong's name continuously echoed in the arena. Almost a million people shouted in unison, echoing throughout the vast Arena and the entire Machinery Palace.
The Earth had risen, and Wang Zhong had reached the peak! No one in this world could stop him!
… …
The task of receiving the Blood Demon Race was much smoother and easier than expected. Thanks to the high-pressure punishment announced by Superintendent Erza, as well as the high efficiency of the Machinery Race, it only took half a month for all the wealth of the Blood Demon Race to be accounted for.
There were six trillion Gold Star Stones stored in the Blood Demon City alone, which was equivalent to the production of Gold Star Stones in the entire Star Alliance for decades. However, they were all concentrated in one city. After accumulating for dozens of eras, the wealth of the Blood Demon Race was simply astounding.
However, to a truly powerful civilization, Gold Star Stones were obviously only an extremely small part of their massive wealth. True experts would not be misers who only knew how to save money. They were more willing to convert their cash into various resources and their current strength. This was not something that a mere Blood Demon City could accommodate.
The Machinery Race had found a total of nine 'warehouses' of the Blood Demon Race. They were all Life Planets in peripheral worlds that had been invaded and occupied by the Blood Demon Race to store their resources.
There were mountains of elixirs, an ocean of artifacts of various grades, and war fortresses of various levels, spiritual energy shields, and so on that covered an entire planet. It took the Machinery Race about half a month just to count them all, and this was after they had found information on many of the Blood Demon Race's current resources. If they had to list out a more detailed list one by one, it would probably take months and years.
This time, Ma Dong Dong was extremely busy. Receiving these supplies was not an easy task.
In the past, he had always felt that the Earth was too poor, but now, he felt that it was too rich. In the past, when he lived in the city protected by the Wall of Life, he always felt that there were too many Earthlings, but now, he felt that there were too few people! There were so few that there were not even enough people to be sent to receive and look after these resources. Now, even the most ordinary Earthlings had been sent to manage the Star Territory Trains, let alone the elites of the Earth. Even the mutated humans had become the stewards of various resource locations. There was no choice. There were only a few billion Earthlings. Compared to the truly developed civilizations that had passed on for countless years and occupied many Life Planets, the number of Earthlings was simply too small. Yes, they had to encourage more births. If not, so much wealth would be left idle.
… …
"The population is indeed too small. Furthermore, the Earth has risen too quickly. I'm afraid that we will soon face the biggest problem of advanced civilizations, which is that the more perfect one's genes are, the more difficult it is to pass them on." Lao Wang was sighing emotionally at the other end of the video call. The Earth was now completely connected to the Star Alliance. Communication, which had once been a huge headache for Earthlings, was now very simple with the help of money and power. Furthermore, the Machinery Race, a super technological civilization, was also helping.
On the other end of the video call, the woman laughed. "It's not easy for you to talk to me, but you only talk about the future of the Earth."
"Ha ha ha ha!" Lao Wang laughed out loud. "I'm not so noble, my dear. I'm talking about our future."
"Oh?" Si Jiali's eyes flashed. How could she blame Wang Zhong? She knew that Wang Zhong was this kind of person and was just joking.
It had been three years. Wang Zhong had gone to the Star Alliance for three years, and she had waited on Earth for three years. A few days ago, the Earth and the Blood Demon Race had formed a grudge. For her safety, Ma Dong was afraid that the Blood Demon Race would secretly send people to kidnap her to threaten Wang Zhong. Thus, he had always hidden Si Jiali in a secluded secret realm.
Fortunately, the Earth had advanced to a level-7 civilization. Fortunately, the Earth was now overflowing with wealth. Instant communication was not a problem at all. As long as Si Jiali and Lao Wang were willing, they could video chat all night long at any time and anywhere.
"Elder Yimo gave me a secret technique a few days ago. It is said that it is commonly used by the aristocrats of advanced civilizations to pass on their genes. It is said to have a 100% success rate … It's just that the materials needed are slightly complicated." Lao Wang said, "I'm currently gathering them. When I've gathered all of them, let's try it out. We have to work hard. Isn't Ma Dong trying to encourage births now? For the sake of the prosperity of the Earth's population, the two of us should set an example. This is our duty! "
"I'm just listening to you!" Si Jiali's pretty face turned slightly red, but it was not because she was shy. They were an old couple, so how could they be so close? Furthermore, they had not seen each other for three years, and they were like dry wood and blazing fire. A long separation makes the heart grow fonder. The bright red on her face was a style that only Wang Zhong could see. "I didn't see you working hard on Earth a few years ago!"
"Hey! This is the Flying Snow in June, a huge injustice! "Lao Wang had a serious expression on his face." I was just doting on your body. At that time, your injuries were not stable. "
"You're joking." Si Jiali grinned and hooked her finger at the person in the video call. "I've only heard of cows that died of exhaustion."
"You're rebelling …" Lao Wang could not help but laugh.
He rubbed his hands together. Just as the originally warm and touching conversation was about to become inappropriate for children, the door to Scarlet's room was suddenly pushed open.
"Eh? Sister, who are you talking to? "Emily walked in thoughtlessly as she nibbled on her ice cream.
"Cough cough!"
Si Jiali coughed lightly, and her face instantly turned bright red. Then, Emily moved her head closer to the person in the video call. Then, she had a pleasantly surprised expression. "Brother Wang Zhong?!"
Lao Wang did not know whether to laugh or cry. The trace of passion that had been aroused by Si Jiali had been completely doused by this girl. Why didn't you appear at any other time? Why did you have to do this now? If you did this again and again, there would be problems!
"Cough …" As expected of a married couple. Even the way Lao Wang pretended to cough was exactly the same as Si Jiali.
Emily seemed to have realized something. She scratched the back of her head and had an awkward expression. "Oh, did I disturb your good time?"
"What do you think …" Lao Wang could only look at her with hidden bitterness.
"Okay, okay, okay. It's all my fault. About that …" After a few years, Emily had changed a lot. At least, she was no longer the girl who could not tell whose family Wang Zhong was from. She stuck out her tongue. "Sister, the Soul Moulding Pills from the Star Alliance have arrived. Ma Dong Dong asked me to send them to you …"
"I'll put them here." She took out a small box and placed it on the table. Then, she giggled and retreated. "You guys can continue. I won't disturb your kiss."
When this little jinx left, the two of them wanted to adjust their emotions and continue their conversation. However, after looking at each other for a while, they realized that the mood had been completely destroyed by this girl. How could they still be unrestrained?
In the end, the two of them could not help but laugh out loud.
Life was still very long, and no one in the Land could destroy this beautiful moment between the two of them. There was no need to be impatient.
"When are you coming back?" Si Jiali asked gently.
"I can't decide for now. The Earth has just entered the Star Alliance Council, and I am one of the executive members. Recently, the Star Alliance has been in troubled times, and I need to personally deal with some diehard Blood Demon forces. I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave in a short period of time …" Wang Zhong thought for a while. "However, Mo Wen asked everyone to go to the Mirror World. He said that there is a reflection of the Earth's origin there. I want to take some time to go and take a look. The Mirror World is different from the Land. The spiritual pressure and gravity are not as high as in the Land. I'll ask the Machinery Race to custom-make a protective suit for you. When the time comes, you can come with Ma Dong. "
"Okay!" Si Jiali's eyes sparkled. To her, there was nothing more important in this world than being with Wang Zhong and making her feel more happy.
"I added some special ingredients to those perfect Soul Moulding Pills. They are specially made to deal with your illness," Wang Zhong said with a smile. He pointed at the box that Emily had placed on the table. "Take one pill every week. In at most half a year, you should be able to heal the soul injury that you suffered when you broke through to the Heavenly Soul Stage."
"Okay!" Even though she already knew that Wang Zhong had created these special pills, Si Jiali did not have too much desire for them. She was very good now and was different from others. She truly felt that the Earth was very good. The outside world might be flashy and exciting, but she liked this place more. Perhaps things would change in the future, but now was not the time.
"That's right, there's bad news that I haven't told you." Si Jiali was immersed in happiness. After listening to all of Lao Wang's instructions, she only remembered something after a long while. "Mr. Potter passed away yesterday …"
Lao Wang was slightly dumbfounded. A familiar name and the voice and smile of an old man instantly appeared in his mind.
Old Potter. Back then, before he had become famous in Tianjing Academy, Old Potter had already become friends with him despite their age difference. Wang Zhong was able to come into contact with information about the Fifth Dimension and was able to study life runes. After the CHF, when he was plotted against by the 10 Great Families, Old Potter had risked his life to protect many of Wang Zhong's relatives and close friends. He was a lovable and respectable old man. Three years ago, when Wang Zhong had left the Earth, he had gone to see him. At that time, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his body. However, after a mere three years, he had been separated forever.
Lao Wang fell silent. His previous excitement was completely swept away, and his heart felt heavy.
"What about Laura? How is she? "
"Not very good." Si Jiali shook her head. "On one hand, she is too grief-stricken. Her parents are not around, and Mr. Potter is her only relative. On the other hand, a few members of the Copperfield family seem to want to fight for power. The old man just passed away yesterday, and today, I heard that the family is about to separate from the family. Laura did not want to care about these matters, but she is the first-in-line successor to the Copperfield family that Mr. Potter has personally chosen. Thus, she has no choice but to care. "
Lao Wang furrowed his eyebrows. Si Jiali paused for a moment before continuing. "If it was just a few members of the family, it would be easy to deal with them. However, I heard that some Star Alliance powers are involved … You know that the various great families on Earth are very popular in the Star Alliance. There are many people who invest in them, and all of them have proper procedures to invest in their family shares. They are the directors of a shareholding company, and Ma Dong and the others are unable to interfere. If they are allowed to continue causing trouble, I'm afraid that Laura will not be able to control them. If the Copperfield family is really separated, Mr. Potter will not be able to rest in peace even in heaven."
"A Star Alliance power?" Lao Wang's voice was slightly cold. "I understand. Let me handle this matter. I want to see which Star Alliance power dares to provoke my people!"
"Your people?" Si Jiali smiled faintly.
"Oh, don't think too much. I just said it casually …"
"Look at how nervous you are. Am I that petty?" Si Jiali laughed. Laura did not look for her for this matter. She was the one who heard about it and took the initiative to tell Wang Zhong.
Si Jiali was rather clear about Laura's feelings for Wang Zhong. After so many years, Laura had never shown any interest in any other man. Si Jiali even knew that Wang Zhong had always had a good impression of Laura. Furthermore, Laura had natural endowments in cultivation. She was now one of the first batch of Void Cores on Earth other than Wang Zhong and the others. Accumulating her Gold Core in the future and obtaining eternal life was not just a fantasy for Laura.
"If you have the time, accompany Laura and chat more. Other than Mr. Potter, only you can be heard in her heart." Scarlet gave a sigh. "She's too lonely right now. Yesterday, I went to Copperfield. In such a big house, everyone was fighting for power. At night, she was the only one keeping a vigil for Mr. Potter … she looked so haggard. I'm really afraid that she won't be able to overcome the hurdle in her heart."
"Okay."
After ending the call, Lao Wang's mood was slightly heavy.
Even though he was the top person in the Land, there were still too many things in this world that he could not control. For example, the most direct ways of life, old age, sickness, and death.
Wang Zhong closed his eyes and remained silent for about two to three minutes. It was as if he was quietly thinking, but it also seemed like he was mourning.
The dead were gone, but the days of the living had to continue.
He reopened the communication device and contacted Ma Dong. "Do you know the details about the Copperfield Family?"
"It's a little complicated …" It could be seen that Ma Dong had just stayed up late. Recently, he had been very busy. The death of Old Potter would cause a considerable power shock to the higher-ups on Earth. After all, from the day the new powers on Earth rose, Copperfield, who was the first to accumulate her Void Core, represented the Copperfield Family and had truly entered the ranks of the highest authorities on Earth. They had even pushed down the top five families of the original 10 Great Families. "There are a few Star Alliance powers involved, and they are all investors in Copperfield … Furthermore, what's more troublesome is that after Laura accumulated her Void Core, she was too dazzling to the Earthlings and snatched away too much of their halo. Now, the Earthlings only recognize Laura and not Copperfield. Thus, many of the children of their families are jealous and have fallen apart. This even includes Laura's biological brother. Do you still remember? The one in the Holy City … These children of their families are colluding with the shareholders of the Star Alliance. It's very difficult for me to interfere, whether it's for public or private reasons. This is the most troublesome. "
"Sigh. It's not that I'm being rude, but Old Potter is a little muddled. For rune research, he gave up a lot of his family's shares. Although the major shareholder seems to be Laura, who is the first heir, she only has 35% of the shares. The other shareholders are now working together, and Laura is at a disadvantage on the surface."
"Which Star Alliance powers are involved?" Lao Wang's tone was very unfriendly.
"They aren't any major powers. They are just some level-5 or level-6 civilizations on the surface. However, the transfer of their shares came from the official procedures of the Star Alliance. According to the economic regulations of the Star Alliance, it would be very difficult for me to interfere. Lao Wang, do you have a way?"
"I won't beat around the bush with you. Help me buy those shares back for Laura," said Wang Zhong. "I don't care how much money you have to pay. You must settle this by today."
"Money is a small matter. I'm just afraid that they won't be willing to sell …"
"We will double the amount they paid for the shares." Wang Zhong paused, and his voice turned cold. "If they are still not willing to sell, just tell them that I will personally pay them a visit. When that time comes, the price will not be this! As for the children of the family … I understand Old Potter and know his thoughts … Just say what I said. I, Wang Zhong, am also considered Old Potter's disciple and not an outsider! If the children of the family are willing to stay in Copperfield, they can stay. If they are not willing, ask them to scram! "
"Ha. Since you are willing to appear, of course, it will be easy." Ma Dong laughed out loud. "I was still wondering if I should tell you about this. If not, Laura will not be able to handle it alone. She is too pitiful. I was just afraid that you would be too busy and would not be able to handle it … Speaking of which, why are you suddenly concerned about Laura? Could it be that you want to take advantage of her when she is in a difficult situation? Do you have any ill intentions? "
"We are all old friends. You should have some conscience when you speak." Lao Wang rolled his eyes. He had always been at ease when Ma Dong handled matters. "I'll leave it to you!"
… …
"Sister Laura, it's not a solution to keep dragging things out …"
"Laura, although you are now the head of the family, as an uncle, I have to say a few words to you …"
"Laura, the old master did not pass the family to you to not do anything! So what if you have accumulated your Void Core? So what if you can fight? You have to have the ability to control the situation in the family. Only then will you be able to convince everyone … "
Inside the house, there was a hubbub of voices. Lola sat quietly in front of the table, listening to the chatter of the so-called relatives around her. Her seemingly calm face concealed a heart that had long been haggard.
Her grandfather's mourning hall was just next door. Until now, Laura had not recovered from the scene of holding her grandfather's hand before he died. Now, she just wanted to stay in front of her grandfather's mourning hall and do nothing. She wanted to quietly reminisce about the past and accompany her grandfather on his final journey according to the customs of the Earthlings.
However, these people had kidnapped her here in the name of the family and were making a ruckus and noise in front of her grandfather's mourning hall without any scruples!
Laura really wanted to slap all of these noisy people to death, but she knew that wouldn't do. They all had the same blood in their bodies, and they were also her grandfather's direct descendants. If she did this in her grandfather's mourning hall, she was afraid that her grandfather's spirit in heaven would not be able to rest in peace.
She could only endure it and listen to these people's disgusting nagging. They tried to force her to agree to some ridiculous conditions that seemed to be beneficial to the family but were actually selling out the family. However, she could not refute them. In fact, she did not even have the power to make a decision.
If her grandfather had not personally handed these assets to her and asked her to properly protect them, Laura would not have cared at all. She would not have been bothered to tangle with these annoying flies for this little bit of assets. However, the more she pestered them, Laura realized that she was no match for these eloquent people. Furthermore, there were many relatively powerful level-5 or level-6 civilizations in the Star Alliance standing behind them. To the current Earth as a whole, level-5 or level-6 civilizations might not be considered much, but to a single family, let alone a level-5 or level-6 civilization, the strength of any random level-4 civilization was enough to make it difficult for the great families on Earth to even look at them.
They had legal procedures and had even personally signed them with her grandfather. They had massive strength and countless amounts of money. They had already bought over the disappointing children in the family and made them obedient … In fact, this even included her biological brother! Even her biological brother, who had loved her the most, could sell her out because of jealousy and money, let alone the others.
No one could help her with this kind of thing. She had to bear everything by herself. Her grandfather had handed over the family that he valued the most to her. Originally, he wanted the family to protect and support her, but who would have thought that it would become her fetters and troubles instead.
When she heard the ruckus next to her ear, Laura suddenly felt somewhat at a loss.
There were billions of Earthlings in this world, as well as billions of other races. However, Laura felt extremely lonely. It was as if she had returned to when she was young and did not know what to do when she had just lost her parents. At that time, her grandfather had extended his hand to her, but now that her grandfather was gone, who would extend a warm hand to her?
Ding ding ding ~ ~
The Skylink on her wrist rang, interrupting Laura's deep thoughts.
"I'll take a Skylink first." She maintained a polite smile, making it difficult for others to see through her. This kind of acting was very tiring, but it was something that she had to do. If others saw the panic and exhaustion in her heart, that would be the time when she would lose. She had to hold on to the position that her grandfather had left for her. She could not let the hard work that her grandfather had put into his entire life be taken away by those vile people with ulterior motives.
The room turned slightly quieter. Lowering her head, Laura saw the familiar, yet foreign avatar on her Skylink start to shine.
She was stunned. A gap had suddenly appeared in the psychological defense that she had been holding on to. Furthermore, it was a huge gap!
"I'm sorry …" She stood up. She originally wanted to cover up for herself and say, "Excuse me." However, her chaotic heart and the violent impact of the gap in her emotions caused her to be unable to even say the most basic and simple words to cover up. Her voice became choked with sobs, and she did not continue.
She just hurriedly left the table. Under the gazes of the large group of people in the room, she quickly walked to her grandfather's mourning hall.
The shining avatar had been gray for a long time, and this was the first time it had lit up in a few years!
She adjusted her choked voice and answered the Skylink. "Hello …"
The virtual projection of that man appeared in front of her.
"… Are you okay?"
A familiar voice appeared in her ear, bringing with it an unforgettable warmth. It was the same as always.
The choking sound that she had finally managed to stop instantly broke the dam. She could no longer hold it in, and hot tears flowed from her eyes. "Wang Zhong! Grandfather has passed away … "
Wang Zhong nodded. "Bring Grandfather to the Heavenly Gates. The Natural Race is very good at comforting the souls of the deceased. Ask them to handle some funeral matters. Perhaps it will make it easier for Grandfather to reincarnate."
He paused and looked at Laura, who was crying like a tearful person. Then, he sighed slightly. "As for the matters of the family, you don't have to worry. I have already asked Ma Dong to handle it. The Star Alliance powers that are involved will quickly hand over all their shares. Copperfield will not split up. I promised Grandfather that as long as I have the ability, I will ensure that Copperfield will prosper forever! "
The virtual projection stretched out his hand towards Laura. "Don't cry. Come to the Land. Grandfather has passed away, but you still have us!"
Laura nodded her head with all her might. Her tears flowed down continuously like pearls from a broken necklace. All the emotions that she had accumulated after her grandfather had passed away burst forth at this moment.
What was a sense of security?
It was not about how powerful the people around you were. Instead, this powerful person was willing to extend a helping hand to you without hesitation when you needed help the most.
Furthermore, this person was him!
… …
In history, every two or three eras, the Star Alliance would face a monstrous disaster that would affect most of the civilizations. This was the inevitable low point after a long period of prosperity.
The Civilization War between the Blood Demon Race and the Earth was seen by many as the beginning of the Star Alliance's calamity. However, they did not expect that this beginning would also mean the end. Although a level-7 civilization and seven or eight subordinate level-5 and level-6 civilizations had fallen, with the sudden retreat of the Fire Demon Race, the Star Alliance, which was already in turmoil, suddenly calmed down.
Most people would not cramp their brains to dig into the secrets behind this, but almost everyone knew that all of this was thanks to Wang Zhong and his Earth. If the Earth had not risen strongly and allowed the Heavenly Shell Race to have the absolute upper hand in the fight for benefits, the Fire Demon Race would not have admitted defeat. A great calamity that would affect the entire Star Alliance would have inevitably descended during the battle between the two races.
By eliminating this calamity, Wang Zhong and the Earth could be said to have saved hundreds of millions of creatures in the Star Alliance. Many people could not help but feel admiration for him, not just because they were afraid of his strength. Of course, the Star Alliance had always been united for a long time before they split up. The general trend could not be stopped. Perhaps Wang Zhong and the Earth had merely delayed this great calamity, but who cared? At least for the next few generations, a calamity would not appear. Their children and grandchildren would have their own blessings, and they would let the future generations worry about them.
They respected and worshiped the Earth. Everyone regarded the Earth as the second Heavenly Shell Race in the Star Alliance. Other than some individual boasting about the past, most people felt that the Earth was even better than the Heavenly Shell Race. Their strength was simply unparalleled. Meanwhile, the names of Wang Zhong, Mo Wen, Mu Zi, Aiolos, Napier, Vladimir, and the others had spread far and wide in the Star Alliance. The latter five were known as the Earth's Five Tigers. Meanwhile, Wang Zhong had become a legend to everyone and was worshipped as a true god that surpassed king-leveled beings in the Land.
He did not lack anything in terms of strength, identity, or status. If he wanted to go to the Mirror World, he just needed to greet the Machinery Race.
"That's the Dracula Arena." Mo Wen smiled and pointed at a dilapidated circular arena below. "This used to be the base camp of the Resistance Army. I comprehended here."
Wang Zhong and a dozen others hovered in the air and looked at the circular arena below. This place occupied a large area and had a radius of several kilometers. It was completely comparable to the Fairy King Arena during the Civilization War, but it was slightly dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. The Mirror World was a projection of the real world. Everything that could be seen in the Mirror World definitely existed in the Fourth Dimension. The Dracula Arena reflected the Heavenly King Star Territory, where a powerful level-7 civilization had once lived. They had an incomplete inheritance of Buddhism and were not inferior to the current Titan Race at all. At their peak, they even had the strength to challenge level-8 civilizations. However, it was a pity that dozens of eras ago, they had disappeared in an inexplicable battle involving the Heaven.
Meanwhile, Mo Wen's Buddhism had been comprehended from some murals in this dilapidated arena.
