July 21st, 2018, 9 AM. North central China, KuTab Desert.
Thanks to the large-scale project of sealing the sand and planting grass, many parts of the desert were covered by turf or shrubs from above.
They crisscrossed and formed a green grid, like a huge chessboard between heaven and earth.
In the middle of the desert, an ancient altar had been built.
Nine steps made of marble led to the high platform in the center.
The high platform was empty.
Other than the spotless marble floor, there was nothing else.
Stone tables, cattail hassock, these common sacrificial furnishings were absent.
The three animals were nowhere to be seen, nor were there any fruits. There was not even an incense altar, let alone items such as high incense.
It was extremely simple, extremely solemn, and extremely solemn.
China held a sacrificial ceremony to summon the Dragon God, communicate with heaven and earth, and inquire about the cause of the changes in the ocean tides.
Within three days, the news had spread like wildfire.
If it was before, China would definitely have kept a low profile. Such a big event would have to be done before it was publicized.
However, it was different this time. It had to be done in a high-profile manner.
Ren Ruofeng asked Vigilante A about the chances of summoning the Dragon God and what preparations needed to be done.
Vigilante A only replied doubtfully, "What kind of chances do I need? I'm just going to invite a dragon to come out for a breather. It's just a small matter of greeting, what do I need to prepare? "
Ren Ruofeng could not help but laugh. He and the other big shots of the Truth Department had worried for nothing.
Although the Celestial Dragon Form and the Upper Realm True Dragon were not the same concept, they should be a race. It was just that one was a Divine Path Dragon of this world, while the other was a Natural Dragon of the Upper Realm.
After confirming Vigilante A's attitude, he immediately began to mobilize publicity to build momentum.
Although the publicity afterward was stable and would not go wrong, there was a very regrettable problem. It was a waste of publicity resources, and they would lose the best opportunity to showcase China's vast national strength in a new era.
How could watching a replay compare to watching a live broadcast? How could watching a live broadcast compare to watching a live broadcast?
There were so many fans who would spend thousands and hundreds of thousands of miles to watch a live broadcast, all for the same reason.
And now, countless "dragon" fans were rushing over from all over the world to this desert that used to be unknown in the past.
All of them had gone through layers of screening and inspection. Under the watch of a large number of people maintaining order, they were divided into different areas and stood around the high platform.
Among these people, there were white-haired old men in their twilight years, as well as infants who had just been born and were carried by their parents.
There were rich people and poor people.
Some were tall and handsome, and some were short and ugly.
Some came from the bustling cities, while others came from the ends of the earth.
However, at this moment, they only had one identity, and that was' Descendants of the Dragon '.
In the past, this was just a symbol, and many people did not really take it to heart.
However, in this new era where all kinds of scourges appeared frequently, after almost a year of adaptation, they had already understood that this identity that they rarely thought of in the past, and this identity that they had never paid much attention to, was actually a truly powerful protective talisman.
That's right, never think too highly of the people of China, and never think too lowly of them either.
They were just a group of ordinary people who wanted to live a good life.
Without tangible benefits, don't even think about using empty promises to send them to their deaths. Countless ambitious people in history had already proven this point.
In times of peace, they would haggle over every ounce and fight until their faces turned red.
In times of national crisis, they would go to the battlefield for the survival of their country, without any regrets, and become one of the countless cold numbers.
At this moment, looking from the sky above the desert, it was densely packed with people.
This desert was more than thirty thousand square kilometers, and at this moment, almost every piece of land that was suitable for standing was filled with large groups of people.
This time, the number of troops that were dispatched was extremely large, and they had already begun to set up defenses around the desert to maintain order.
According to statistics, the number of people who came to this desert and wanted to be the first to see the appearance of the Dragon God had already exceeded thirty million people …
In human history, there had never been a ceremony that could gather so many people at the same time.
There had also never been an organization like China that could gather so many people together in an orderly manner.
The number would have been even more, but the main transportation route leading here had been restricted.
Most of the people could only watch through television and the Internet.
Outside the high platform, within three thousand meters, there was no one else.
A few suitable spots to watch the altar had already been set up for the audience.
Some places were allocated to important officials from various countries, while others were mainly allocated to media reporters from all over the world.
All the mainstream media in the world did not let go of this revelry of hot news.
If there were mainstream media that did not come, it would definitely be because they could not come, not because they were unwilling to come …
Everyone knew the significance of the "Dragon Totem".
Although everyone had seen a certain Great Azure Dragon flying around in the sky in the past year, invincible and extremely savage.
However, today's totem was very different from that one.
This was a totem native to Earth, and it was also one of the totems with the longest history.
It contained cultural significance, historical significance, practical significance, and the psychological impact on the people of Earth, no matter which aspect, was far from what a dragon from another world could compare to.
The dragon from another world, Vigilante A, was currently below the high platform. He was sitting in an important seat among the audience. For such an important occasion, everyone else had different expressions, some were agitated, some were unwilling, and some were excited.
Only Vigilante A remained expressionless, as if he was attending an insignificant banquet.
There were many important people sitting around him, and they would come over to greet him from time to time, as if they were serving a master, each of them had a smile on their face, and they were very careful.
These people sitting around were all important people from all over China.
They were all worried about whether the ceremony could be carried out normally.
At this time, everyone's interests were aligned. Everyone hoped that the Dragon God would appear smoothly, inform them of the cause of the natural disaster, and then return smoothly.
However, no one knew that the person who was most worried about whether the ceremony could be carried out normally was none other than Vigilante A himself … His true identity, Sir Fang Ning himself.
From the start of the ceremony to the time they sat down, Fang Ning had been nagging.
Now that there was still an hour before the ceremony, he could not help but remind a certain idiotic System.
"I'll emphasize this one last time, today is an extraordinary day. You cannot give me any prompts like 'the System is processing', you must remember this."
Sir System's tone was very certain, "Understood, you don't have to be so long-winded. This is already the seventeenth time, it's very affecting my meditation."
Fang Ning was slightly relieved, and continued to organize his words and emotions, thinking about how he would ask the Dragon God when he met him.
Time passed second by second. Time flew by in the past.
However, to Fang Ning, a day felt like a year.
On one hand, a man's unique power complex made him eager to summon the Dragon God and personally experience its power that was as deep as the sea.
On the other hand, he could not help but be nervous, worried that he would make a mistake, and wanted time to stop.
Sir System suddenly interrupted, "Look at you, your emotions are fluctuating so much, how are you going to summon the Dragon God? What a pity, I think the Dragon God you summon will only look impressive. It'll be good enough if you can use one percent of its power. "
Fang Ning was speechless, "Why do you care? You can't summon it anyway. "
Sir System said regretfully, "If only I could take over that Dragon God's body. According to the Maxim, you're now Pond-level, so you should be able to summon an Inland-sea level Dragon God.
"Its power is unimaginable. I think there are many evildoers in hiding now, but I'm afraid they can't escape the Dragon God's eyes. "
Fang Ning immediately became alert, "I'm warning you, don't cause trouble for me. Stay here obediently. This Dragon God belongs to me, and it has nothing to do with you, a martial arts system."
While Sir System and Fang Ning were talking, many people in the VIP seats around them were also discussing in low voices.
"China wants to summon the Dragon God? How confident do you think they are? "
"Even if it's not nine, it's at least eight. Why would they take the risk in such a big event?"
Everyone nodded when they heard that.
Some of the families who had disagreements with China saw this and their faces darkened, but they had to admit it.
Russia, India, Goguryeo, and the others who had been beaten up by the Azure Dragon had especially darkened expressions.
Initially, someone suggested not to invite them.
However, Ren Ruofeng said, 'If we don't invite them, how can we show the demeanor of our great country?'
In fact, everyone knew that flaunting their wealth in front of their enemies would make them feel good to the bone.
No one from these countries wanted to come, but they had no choice but to come.
If they did not come, how would they know the power of the dragon totem? How would they adjust their countermeasures?
Russia was easier to deal with, as they had long been in a strategic retreat. The last time they fought with Vigilante A was more due to some lingering problems.
Based on the current situation, based on the comparison of strength between both sides, they no longer wanted to have an intense conflict with China. After all, the current situation was very dangerous.
Recently, there was a faint rumor from China that Russia intended to use the Cloud Fog City area as a new buffer zone between both sides. As for whether Guifang was attached, they would no longer interfere.
This was unimaginable to the Russians, who had always had a serious grudge against them.
That was why they did not reveal it to any media, only the tacit agreement between both sides.
In other words, if China sent people to these two major areas, they would not be obstructed by Russia's official organizations.
That was why at this moment, even though the Russians did not look good, they only remained silent and did not express any opinion.
However, the Indian representatives sitting at the side were very different.
They were taking this opportunity to jump up and down, befriending countries that were not on good terms with China, in an attempt to once again establish their position as the leader of the third world.
The situation between India and Russia was completely different.
India's land was fertile and flat. It seemed like its total territory was far less than China's, but the actual arable land was not at all. Moreover, be it the climate or precipitation, it was far more suitable for farming than China. At least in this aspect, most of the grain-producing areas in China could not compare.
That was why they could raise a large population with a similarly long history and great potential.
In the past, due to various internal problems, they had been limping forward, and India had repeatedly become the victim of the comparison of development between both sides. They did not play their cards well.
Now that the new era had arrived, they were the first to receive the favor of three mighty beings from the Upper Realm.
These three mighty beings attached the great name of the Three Gods in Indian mythology, and took the opportunity to develop believers in India and train their descendants.
With these three as their backing, the Indians were even more confident. As long as they were given some time, they would definitely be able to get rid of the accumulated problems and explode.
In the previous few battles with the giant dragon from China, there were indeed some minor setbacks, but so what?
They had lost a few powerhouses, but India had more than a billion people, and their total population was about to surpass China. They could just train a few more.
They did not suffer any serious injuries.
As in the past, they provoked the giant dragon a few times. They might have lost face, but they had actually gotten what they deserved.
Their external environment was also far better than China's.
Whether it was Russia, America, or even the former Japan, they all respected them and had never been hostile.
Today, China wanted to summon the dragon totem, attracting the attention of the world. Tens of millions of people personally rushed to the scene to attend the ceremony.
The scale of the ceremony, the strong atmosphere, and the number of people watching was definitely the first time in history.
In this regard, they were the ones who were the most dissatisfied, the most dissatisfied, and the most eager to destroy this ceremony.
However, they were not fools. Although they wanted to, they would never put it into action. They did not even discuss any related plans.
Of course, China's summoning of the Dragon God was a display of strength.
However, the fundamental purpose was to solve the tidal anomaly and the global crisis of the impending natural disaster.
If anyone were to go against it, the people of their own country would immediately kick them out without anyone doing anything.
Since they could not destroy it with their hands, they could only vent with their mouths.
Therefore, an Indian representative said sarcastically, "China's purpose of summoning the Dragon God is naturally excellent. However, can they really communicate with the Dragon God?
"The people of China are developing fast, but they are greedy for personal benefits and have no faith. The purpose of worshiping the gods is very utilitarian, and most of them want to get something in return.
"I think their Dragon God won't like this group of descendants at all. Otherwise, why would they only start communicating now?
"We, the Indians, are different. All of us sincerely believe in the gods, and even give our bodies to them. That's why we are favored by the three great gods.
"They often send down divine prophecies to teach us. Our great India is where the hope of humankind lies. "
At the end of his speech, the Indian representative's face showed a sense of sacred pride.
At this moment, a representative of a small country who was wavering in his attitude asked doubtfully, "If that's the case, why didn't the great India first pray to your Mahabrahma and the other two great gods to ask about the cause of this natural disaster? Why wait for the people of China to summon the Dragon God first? "
The Indian representative was stunned, and then he said hesitantly, "Actually, we're preparing. It's just that we're not as ambitious as the people of China. We're carefully offering sacrifices and praying to the gods. I believe that divine prophecies will be sent down soon. "
The representative of the small country was doubtful after listening to him.
The Indian representative's face turned sour. He quietly went to the other side and sat down without saying a word.
The other party seemed to have no intention of questioning them, but it just so happened to hit the Indian people.
The appearance of the abnormal tides had initially made the upper echelons of the Indians ecstatic.
They thought that this was the best time to show the power of the three gods, and also the time for the Indians to be completely exalted.
"Now, it's our great India's turn to save the fate of the entire world!"
That was the slogan that they had yet to announce.
The reason why they did not announce it was because of the divine prophecies sent down by the three gods after the sacrifice.
The content was, "The abnormal tides, the waves in the sea, these are all tests from the gods. As long as you have fearless courage, a devout heart, a courageous spirit, and are not afraid of any sacrifice, you'll be able to survive this disaster. "
After the group of priests heard it, they were stunned on the spot.
