Chapter 96: Living Under the Sunlight

July 1st, the internet world of Huaxia on Earth experienced an earth-shattering tremor.

An unprecedented earthquake triggered by a video, a photo, and several Weibo posts rapidly swept across the globe!

The video, photo, and Weibo posts revealed to netizens worldwide the biggest, most shocking, most unbelievable, yet undeniable news of this century!

A Huaxia youth named Cang Luo had actually traveled to a different world called the Yuanwu Continent two months ago and even sent a distress signal back to Earth!

Netizens worldwide were shaken, and media outlets in every country competed to report on it!

Famous media outlets such as Huaxia Tenglong News, Today News, Wangyi News, and Xinhua News Agency all featured the traveler Cang Luo on their front-page headlines.

The media focused their analysis and reporting primarily on the video and photos released by Cang Luo, as well as the 501 Major Incident that occurred in the residential area where Cang Luo was located.

As famous news media, they could not easily draw conclusions about unconfirmed events.

Therefore, the media only reported that Cang Luo might have traveled through time and space, but he could also have been kidnapped by foreign forces, or this could simply be a scam.

At the end of the news, the media outlets all @-mentioned and reposted Cang Luo's Weibo, urging Cang Luo himself to come forward immediately to clarify the situation and avoid causing panic among all humanity on Earth.

Besides domestic media, famous foreign media outlets, such as the Associated Press, Reuters, the Daily Planet, and the Daily Bugle, also conducted extensive reporting on the traveler Cang Luo.

However, the focus of these foreign media reports was completely different from that of the domestic media.

First, the foreign media directly affirmed Cang Luo's travel and published the appraisal results conducted by several world-class experts on the video and photos released by Cang Luo.

The appraisal results indicated that the video and photos released by Cang Luo were not fabricated but were genuinely shot.

This indirectly proved that the different world named 'Yuanwu Continent' indeed exists.

Then, the foreign media focused their reporting and analysis on what impact the existence of the Yuanwu Continent would have on Earth, listing various possibilities, roughly meaning the following.

One, the existence of the Yuanwu Continent is a threat to Earth, and it is highly likely to launch an invasion war against Earth in the future; Earth must prepare for war.

Two, from the video, it can be seen that although the Yuanwu Continent is a cultivation civilization or a magic civilization, its level of civilizational development is not very high and is absolutely no match for Earth, which possesses nuclear weapons; therefore, it poses no threat to Earth.

Three, since the Yuanwu Continent poses no threat to Earth, what resources does it have available for Earth to utilize? Can it become a colonial planet for Earth?

Four, will countries around the world engage in civil war to fight over the resources of the Yuanwu Continent?

Five, judging by the introduction on the traveler Cang Luo's Weibo, his family seems to be threatened; by whom are they threatened? Why are they threatened? What is the purpose of threatening him?

Judging from the 501 Major Incident, it seems the Huaxia authorities knew about Cang Luo's travel long ago; could it be the Huaxia authorities threatening Cang Luo?

Do the Huaxia authorities intend to threaten Cang Luo by controlling the personal freedom and safety of his family, coercing Cang Luo to provide intelligence on the Yuanwu Continent?

We call on the Huaxia authorities to come out and explain this matter, and we also hope the first traveler on Earth, Cang Luo, can come out soon to answer our questions so we can offer help.

Compared to the cautious reporting of domestic media, netizens preferred this kind of reporting from foreign media, which contained some conspiracy theories and apocalypse theories.

After the reporting by media outlets from various countries, people who previously paid little attention to such news and foreign netizens flocked to Cang Luo's Weibo to follow and leave comments.

Before long, Cang Luo's Weibo followers actually broke the one hundred million mark, becoming the blogger with the most followers since the birth of Weibo.

For this reason, even though the Weibo authorities had not yet contacted Cang Luo, they forcibly verified Cang Luo's Weibo account.

Cang Luo: The first traveler on Earth.

After Cang Luo's Weibo was verified, the number of followers surged again, reaching one hundred and twenty million.

The comment count on a Weibo post Cang Luo had previously released also reached a terrifying ten million; this sudden surge in massive traffic caused Weibo to lag abnormally, nearly crashing.

The Weibo authorities had to conduct emergency maintenance on this, and finally migrated Cang Luo's Weibo to a separate server, naming it the 'Yuanwu Continent' server.

This is also the only server dedicated to serving an individual since the emergence of the internet and the creation of online social platforms by humanity.

If Cang Luo knew this, he would surely be proud.

Once Weibo stabilized, netizens around the world began furiously @-mentioning Cang Luo, demanding Cang Luo come out quickly to continue releasing information about the Yuanwu Continent.

Many netizens also @-mentioned the Huaxia authorities, hoping the Huaxia authorities would come forward to explain the matter of Cang Luo's family being threatened and why they concealed the existence of the Yuanwu Continent.

Foreign netizens were also furiously @-mentioning the United Nations and the official bodies of several superpowers, similarly demanding they come out to explain.

Questioning why they concealed the existence of the Yuanwu Continent from ordinary people, questioning whether they intended to launch a full-scale war...

Facing the questions from netizens around the world, the Huaxia authorities had not yet given an explanation, and neither did the United Nations or other superpowers come forward to explain.

Cang Luo also did not reply to the comments from netizens around the world; this was not because Cang Luo had not seen everyone's comments, nor because he did not want to reply, but because he had no time to reply.

Because at this time, Cang Luo, who was in the Yuanwu Continent, was on a call with Li Weiguo, the person in charge of Feng Lin Huo Shan, and a series of stern scolding voices came through the phone receiver.

Li Weiguo scolded repeatedly: "Cang Luo! Do you know what you are doing now?

Have you thought about the consequences? Don't you know that revealing the existence of the Yuanwu Continent will cause global panic?

Where do you intend to place Huaxia?"

Both Huaxia and other countries understood that if the existence of the Yuanwu Continent were made public, it would inevitably cause global turmoil and panic among all humanity.

Because of the existence of the Dark Forest Law!

When people on Earth learn that another world or planet exists, after a brief moment of excitement and curiosity, they will definitely think: does this planet or different world pose a threat to Earth?

Does it pose a threat to humanity? Will they destroy Earth?

Once these questions arise, people will become panicked, stop production, and think about how to escape the unknown destructive blow...

People will become depressed, and various problems will arise, such as a significant increase in the crime rate, rising prices, and so on.

Most importantly, wars will occur, fighting for escape resources, fighting for resources from the different world!

By then, before the Yuanwu Continent even attacks, Earth will be destroyed by civil war.

Therefore, countries around the Earth firmly do not allow the existence of the Yuanwu Continent to be leaked, at least not before next year.

Because countries around the Earth have not yet made preparations to deal with an invasion from the Yuanwu Continent, nor have they made preparations to control global turmoil...

After Feng Lin Huo Shan discovered that Cang Luo used videos and Weibo to leak the existence of the Yuanwu Continent, they immediately initiated a network blockade to stop it, but they were obstructed by a group of mysterious hackers.

Although they successfully repelled the entire group of mysterious hackers after a fierce cyber war, they had already missed the best timing, and the leak of the information could no longer be stopped.

However, Feng Lin Huo Shan had not given up; they planned to have Cang Luo cooperate in staging a play, making him come forward to clarify that this was an internet celebrity marketing scam.

Li Weiguo took a breath and continued: "Cang Luo, it is not too late to turn back now; we want you to cooperate with us to stage a play, to define this matter as an internet celebrity marketing event..."

"Are you done?" Cang Luo interrupted Li Weiguo's words, smiling faintly: "Now you remember me?

Where were you when that fellow who called himself 'Ben Shao' ruined my company on Earth? Where were you when the other party threatened to kill my family?"

You not only failed to protect my private property, but when I ordered you to arrest the other party immediately, you claimed you had not yet investigated their identity? Had not gathered evidence? Lacked the authority to make an arrest?

Haha, and there are people Feng Lin Huo Shan cannot investigate? I think you simply do not wish to, or dare not."

"Xiao Cang, listen to me, it is like this..."

"Stop talking!" Cang Luo interrupted Li Weiguo again, his voice heavy as he said, "I understand now. You merely treat me as a tool to obtain intelligence on the Yuanwu Continent; you will never truly consider my interests."

Cang Luo took a deep breath and continued, "I will not forget that I am a Chinese person, nor will I forget that I am a descendant of Yan and Huang, so I will never do anything to betray China.

Furthermore, because you once saved my family and are still protecting them now, I will continue to provide you with intelligence; I am very grateful to you.

However..."

"However what?" Li Weiguo said, relieved yet tense at the same time.

Cang Luo said heavily, "However, I have decided from now on not to be manipulated by you. I want to live in the sunlight; I want to use my own methods to protect my family and protect my property..."

Cang Luo had already thought it through; others can never be fully trusted. Relying on others is inferior to relying on oneself. One's own family and one's own property must be protected by oneself.

Although Cang Luo is on the Yuanwu Continent and cannot personally protect his family and property on Earth, he has thought of a plan.

That is to make the existence of the Yuanwu Continent public to the world, letting everyone on Earth know of the Yuanwu Continent's existence, knowing it is a world where cultivation is possible, and a civilization that is extremely likely to invade Earth.

Then, some people on Earth will be excited, thrilled, and expectant due to the appearance of the Yuanwu Continent, expecting to become martial artists themselves and gain superhuman strength.

While another part of the people on Earth will fall into panic, worrying that Earth will be invaded by the Yuanwu Continent, worrying that they will be killed by people from another realm...

Yet, regardless of which group they belong to, they must rely on him, because he is the only transmigrator on Earth, the only Earthling capable of sending intelligence back from the Yuanwu Continent.

Do you want to know how to become a martial artist? Do you want to know the cultivation system of the Yuanwu Continent? Do you want to know everything about the Yuanwu Continent?

I can tell you.

Are you worried that the Yuanwu Continent will invade Earth? Do you want to know when it will invade Earth? Do you want to know what kind of power the martial artists of the Yuanwu Continent possess?

I can tell you.

Thus, Cang Luo will become a global public figure, becoming the most valuable person on Earth.

And after this, Cang Luo will no longer be manipulated by various nations, no longer be blackmailed by them under the guise of 'protecting my family.'

Moreover, under the general environment of public opinion, under the circumstance that Earth is about to be invaded by the Yuanwu Continent, no one will dare to persecute his family and property, and they will even spontaneously protect them.

Furthermore, Cang Luo can even make a fortune through this, and investigate the true identity of that fellow who calls himself 'Ben Shao'...

Li Weiguo fell silent for a long time after hearing this, then said, "Xiao Cang, do you not trust the motherland? Rest assured, I will send a specialist immediately to investigate the framing of your company..."

"No need!" Cang Luo sneered coldly and continued, "I trust the motherland, but I do not trust certain people. I will resolve the matter of my company myself; you only need to protect my family."

Having spoken, Cang Luo ended the call, then opened Weibo...
