Chapter 100: Great Powers in Conflict

After various countries’ media and several small nations held press conferences to boycott Yuanwu Continent and Huaxia, several nuclear-armed superpowers also successively held press conferences to strongly condemn Huaxia.

One nuclear-armed nation declared that the existence of Yuanwu Continent poses an absolute threat to Earth; we must quickly establish the Earth Alliance Army to jointly defend Earth and prepare for war...

Another nuclear-armed nation urged Huaxia not to betray all of humanity for its own selfish interests, demanding that Huaxia also join the Earth Alliance Army to jointly resist Yuanwu Continent’s invasion...

Soon after, under the leadership of these nuclear-armed nations, over two hundred countries and regions across Earth responded in kind, successively holding press conferences to support the formation of the Earth Alliance Army—only Huaxia and a few other nations remained silent.

After each nation’s head of state declared their stance, they announced their upcoming itineraries, preparing to travel to the United Nations headquarters in North America to negotiate the establishment of the Earth Alliance Army.

Upon the announcement that nations were forming the Earth Alliance Army to resist Yuanwu Continent, netizens from every country except Huaxia cheered enthusiastically, all expressing support.

Suddenly, slogans like “Reject Cooperation with Yuanwu Continent,” “Resist Yuanwu Continent’s Invasion,” and “Turn Yuanwu Continent into Earth’s Colony” appeared on the front pages of the world’s most prominent media outlets.

At this moment, every nation except Huaxia—and their netizens alike—regarded Yuanwu Continent as Earth’s greatest enemy, as alien invaders...

With the looming apocalypse, all nations were utterly united; their netizens were equally united.

Soon after, netizens from other nations noticed Huaxia had not responded to the call to form the Earth Alliance Army, and began posting questions: Why isn’t Huaxia joining the Earth Alliance Army?

Are they planning to cooperate with the ancient Huaxia people of Yuanwu Continent?

Are they betraying Earth?

Are they offering Earth to Yuanwu Continent?

Are they planning to rule Earth alongside the ancient Huaxia people of Yuanwu Continent?

Once these incendiary accusations surfaced, Huaxia instantly became the target of global netizens’ condemnation; netizens from every country united in denouncing Huaxia’s traitorous behavior online.

Huaxia’s netizens immediately lost their composure; since the official government had not yet spoken, they spontaneously organized to engage in a heated online brawl with the foreign netizens.

Fortunately, Huaxia’s netizens were numerous and famously filled with trolls and keyboard warriors; facing the combined provocation of dozens of nations’ netizens, they showed no fear.

They hurled every internet slang term and meme they could find, overwhelming the foreign netizens into confusion.

In verbal sparring and meme warfare, the kind-hearted foreign netizens were no match for Huaxia’s.

At this moment, foreign netizens finally witnessed the power of Huaxia’s internet, and realized how terrifying patriotic trolls and keyboard warriors could be.

This online brawl ultimately drowned in a sea of memes; Huaxia’s netizens achieved a temporary victory, while the official government never once intervened.

Yet, the next event forced Huaxia’s official hand.

Several small nations held press conferences declaring that if Huaxia refused to join the Earth Alliance Army to jointly resist Yuanwu Continent’s invasion, they would sever diplomatic ties with Huaxia...

This time, Huaxia’s government could no longer remain passive; they immediately convened a press conference.

At the press conference, Huaxia’s spokesperson sternly stated: “Huaxia is a nation of propriety, not a warlike people; harmony is an outstanding virtue of the Huaxia people...

Based on our investigations and understanding of Yuanwu Continent, we have discovered that the ancient Huaxia people there share the same roots and origins as us.

Therefore, we have reason to believe that the nations and peoples of Yuanwu Continent also possess the virtue of harmony; their arrival on Earth is not for war, but for cooperation.

Of course, if after the two worlds connect next year, Yuanwu Continent demonstrates clear hostility toward Earth...

Then we will certainly fight to defend Earth and all of humanity...

As for forming the Earth Alliance Army, Huaxia does not oppose it—but will not join.”

Huaxia declared its position, yet received little support; instead, more and more nations announced they would sever ties with Huaxia.

Even some nuclear-armed nations mocked Huaxia for negotiating with tigers...

In response, Huaxia offered no further reply—but published an article titled “Analysis Report on the Combat Power of Yuanwu Continent’s Martial Artists,” which extensively described and analyzed the strength of Yuanwu Continent’s martial artists.

After the report was published, foreign netizens instantly ceased their online brawls, stunned into silence by one passage within.

The passage that shocked the global netizens was Cang Luo’s description of the combat power of a Wu Sheng, and the analysis showing Earth’s nuclear weapons could not strike Yuanwu Continent or harm a Wu Sheng in the slightest.

“The teleportation array is under the control of Xuantian Gate; Earth has no way to deliver nuclear weapons to Yuanwu Continent—maximum we can do is destroy the array, and even then, only from one end of Earth...”

“A single Wu Sheng from Yuanwu Continent arriving on Earth would be enough to destroy it; Earth has no means to counter a Wu Sheng, for nuclear weapons cannot reach them—their speed exceeds that of supersonic fighters...”

At the end of the report, Huaxia again affirmed that Yuanwu Continent harbors no hostility toward Earth, urging all nations to engage with Yuanwu Continent under the principles of peaceful development and mutual assistance.

Do not believe the speculative claims of ambitious men who seek to plunge all of humanity into the fires of war; under no circumstances must we trigger World War III, let alone a war between the two worlds...

After reading the report, foreign netizens all expressed that Yuanwu Continent was too powerful, that Wu Sheng were too powerful—comparable to Superman.

Yuanwu Continent was not only powerful, but also held absolute geographical advantage; as long as they controlled the teleportation array, they could confine the battlefield to Earth.

In such a scenario, Earth’s missiles, nuclear weapons, warships, and fighter jets could not unleash even one percent of their strength...

Once foreign netizens realized this, they were utterly despairing!

If Yuanwu Continent truly harbored hostility toward Earth, then Earth’s destruction was imminent.

In contrast to the despair of foreign netizens, Huaxia’s netizens remained calm, for they knew the people of Yuanwu Continent were ancient Huaxia descendants, descendants of the dragon, all speaking Mandarin.

Therefore, even if Yuanwu Continent intended to invade Earth, it would never target Huaxia.

Probably?

Half an hour after the report’s release, nations originally preparing to depart for the UN headquarters to negotiate the Earth Alliance Army canceled their trips.

Moreover, these nations reversed their stance, declaring support for Huaxia’s “Two-World Cooperation Theory,” claiming they trusted Huaxia and believed Yuanwu Continent held no hostility toward Earth.

Yet everyone knew these nations did not truly believe Huaxia—they were terrified by the terrifying combat power of Yuanwu Continent’s Wu Sheng.

No nation dared risk annihilation by a Wu Sheng by opposing Yuanwu Continent!

Not even Earth’s strongest nuclear-armed nations dared.

In truth, these nuclear-armed nations sought to form the Earth Alliance Army not to wage war against Yuanwu Continent, but to isolate Huaxia, pressure it, and turn other nations against it.

Because Yuanwu Continent is a world ruled by ancient Huaxia people; after the two worlds connect next year, whether through war or cooperation, Huaxia will be the greatest beneficiary.

Only by excluding Huaxia—or even destroying it—before the two worlds connect could these nuclear-armed nations dominate the post-connection world.

Unfortunately, their plan was effortlessly ruined by a single report from Huaxia.

Thus, a sudden, premeditated, bloodless war ended.

Huaxia emerged victorious.

Feng Lin Hu Shan Headquarters.

Li Weiguo exhaled in relief as he watched the massive screen displaying intelligence; the report had been issued by his order, and the effect was excellent—he had finally thwarted certain nations’ schemes.

After sipping strong tea, Li Weiguo instructed Zhuge Qing to contact Cang Luo, ordering him to stop releasing information that would destabilize Earth, and to refrain from claiming Yuanwu Continent intended to invade Earth.

Promote only the positive aspects of Yuanwu Continent, lest Huaxia become Earth’s global enemy again...
