Chapter 1846

In fact, the loss of gold was even a good thing.

Otherwise, they would have had grounds to accuse Rabbit Country!

Meanwhile, "157."

Western nations all responded identically, condemning Rabbit Country and demanding sharing of cultivation techniques, proposing a human alliance, and seeking to develop the new world.

Imperial Capital.

"Hehe, what a brilliant idea indeed!"

The Chancellor sneered, "Then let's hold a press conference too. Minister Luo Wei, would you care to make an appearance?"

Luo Wei's expression shifted: "Are you suggesting—demonstrating our strength?"

The Chancellor nodded: "Exactly."

"Of course." Luo Wei had no objection whatsoever.

It's just showing off—he's an expert at it.

Half an hour later.

Rabbit Country's press bureau issued a statement responding to the Western powers, then switched to a live broadcast.

There, Luo Wei stood in empty space, five swords manifesting behind him as they slashed downward toward the earth.

Boom—!

A vast stretch of land was instantly obliterated, leaving behind a colossal abyssal pit.

Rabbit Country's aircraft flew above the abyss for hours without reaching its edge.

"Terrifying!"

"What level of power is this?"

"This is far more powerful than nuclear bombs!"

"According to our calculations, this single strike could sink an entire Dazhou!"

"Luo Wei has become a god!"

"Oh my god, our country actually wanted Rabbit Country to share the method of becoming a god? Impossible! Stupid! I don't want to die!"

"Yes, Luo Wei alone could sweep away all of Earth's civilization. He is already a god of the new era!"

"Big Brother Luo Wei, look at me! I'm the Princess—I speak eight languages…"

The Western powers were instantly stunned.

They hadn't expected Rabbit Country's transcendent power had reached this level.

What right did the Western nations have to sit at the negotiation table now?

Only equal strength grants the right to negotiate.

When power differs too greatly, one becomes mere meat on the chopping block.

"Withdraw your previous statement and submit applications for university study in Rabbit Country."

Thus, the Western nations retreated, adopting a more subtle plan.

But this no longer concerned Luo Wei.

These matters were naturally left to public relations staff to handle.

Imperial Capital.

Highest Conference Room.

"After the integration of that small world, our transcendent personnel have discovered cities there. That world has over a hundred million people—how should we handle them?"

Luo Wei pondered: "Their appearances resemble ours—all Asian faces. Let them integrate. We lack population for future world exploration. One hundred million people are perfect as a demographic supplement."

"I support Minister Luo's proposal."

"I support it too!"

"Support!"

Luo Wei's proposal received unanimous approval.

"However, before integrating them into our nation, physical examinations must be conducted simultaneously. Otherwise, if those people carry incurable infectious diseases, it would be disastrous."

"And if that small world possesses transcendent power, it could supplement our nation's strength."

"Agreed."

"But conducting physical exams for one hundred million people—our medical staff are stretched thin."

Luo Wei smiled: "Precisely the opposite. Due to the Taixuan Divine Spell, everyone's bodies are robust, requiring far fewer medical personnel. The freed-up staff can now carry out this mission."

"That's true—I hadn't updated my thinking; I'm behind the times."

The leadership's efficiency was unprecedented, their actions swift beyond measure.

Because the integrated small world lacked infrastructure—no subways, no high-speed trains, no airplanes—the transportation of medical staff ultimately fell to true qi cultivators themselves.

These experts could move mountains and shift seas; transporting tens of thousands at once was effortless.

In ancient cities, villagers read the notices and went for physical examinations.

Without transcendent power, this would have been an extremely difficult process.

Human perceptions are notoriously hard to change.

People in the Qing Dynasty once believed cameras stole souls.

All medical equipment seemed terrifying to ancients.

But when true qi cultivators flew overhead and declared these devices divine magic treasures, the situation changed entirely.

Immortals!

In culturally similar ancient societies, such a reputation remained favorable.

"Wow, Uncle Liu, you got your physical too?"

"You bet, hehe. After the physical checkup, you can still get a hundred jin of Bai Mi. The new Emperor is really too kind."

"They all say there's no Emperor anymore. The immortals in the country across from us don't have an Emperor."

"It's all the same, all the same. Hurry up and go. What if we're late and there's no grain left?"

On the main street, the commoners who had finished their physical checkups beamed with joy. Even those with withered, emaciated frames were shouldering sacks of rice, their feet flying as they walked.

Giving out so much Bai Mi — this kind of good thing is truly a first since the dawn of time.

The old imperial court would absolutely never have done something like this.

"Worthy of being the country where the immortals dwell."

"Right, right."

"I heard that from now on, we can also cultivate and become immortals. Then we'll never have to fear ghosts and monsters again."

"Yes, it's really wonderful! I want to cultivate immortality!"

"By the way, after you finish your physical checkup, are you planning to go get your identity certificate?"

"Of course I have to get one. The immortal household said that from now on, enrolling in school, cultivating immortality, farming — everything requires an identity certificate. You can't skip it. Besides, once you have the certificate, you can get another hundred jin of 5.2 grain. Such a free benefit — how could I possibly pass it up!"

"Take me with you, I want to go too!"

"Same here, same here."

Chat group.

Luo Wei: "Things on my end are pretty much on track now. Add in the hundred-plus million people from the new world, and in a hundred years, the nation I'm in could have tens of billions of people. Hehe, the world's exploration progress is definitely going to be delightful."

Luo Wei: "Oh right, has anyone here refined a spatial grotto-heaven? I noticed they're all sold out in Shangcheng. I'm planning to buy some grotto-heavens to guarantee grain output."

Lingya: "Didn't you just merge with a new world? You're still short on land?"

Luo Wei: "Land itself isn't lacking — I couldn't finish planting it all. But the external environment might not be suitable for farming. At the current concentration of spiritual energy, demon beasts will probably appear very soon. You can't exactly expect the powerhouses to go farm, right? That's not realistic!"
