Earth must prepare for war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two: From the video, Yuanwu Continent appears to be a cultivation or magic civilization, but its technological level is low—it is no match for Earth’s nuclear arsenal. Thus, it poses no threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three: If Yuanwu Continent poses no threat, what resources can Earth exploit? Could it become a colony planet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four: Will Earth’s nations go to war with each other over Yuanwu Continent’s resources?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five: According to Cang Luo’s Weibo bio, his family appears threatened. By whom? Why? What is their goal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Incident 501, it seems the Chinese government long knew of Cang Luo’s crossing. Could the Chinese government be the one threatening him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the Chinese government using threats against Cang Luo’s family’s freedom and safety to coerce him into providing intelligence on Yuanwu Continent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We urge the Chinese government to explain this matter, and we also urge Earth’s first transdimensional traveler, Cang Luo, to answer our questions so we may offer help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the cautious reporting by domestic media, netizens preferred the foreign media’s conspiracy-laden and apocalyptic narratives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After global media coverage, people who previously ignored such news and foreign netizens flooded Cang Luo’s Weibo to follow and comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Cang Luo’s Weibo followers surpassed one hundred million, becoming the most-followed account in Weibo’s history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Weibo had not yet contacted Cang Luo, it forcibly verified his account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo: Earth’s First Transdimensional Traveler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After verification, Cang Luo’s follower count surged again, reaching 120 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The comment count on his earlier Weibo post also reached a terrifying ten million, overwhelming the platform with traffic and nearly causing a server crash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weibo’s engineers had to perform emergency maintenance, eventually migrating Cang Luo’s account to a dedicated server named “Yuanwu Continent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first and only server in human history created solely for an individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Cang Luo knew, he would surely be proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Weibo stabilized, global netizens once again frantically @ed Cang Luo, demanding he release more information about Yuanwu Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many also @ed the Chinese government, demanding an explanation for the threats against Cang Luo’s family and why Yuanwu Continent’s existence had been concealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foreign netizens also frantically @ed the United Nations and several superpowers, demanding they respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They questioned why they had concealed Yuanwu Continent’s existence from ordinary people, and whether they intended to launch total war...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to global demands, the Chinese government had not yet replied; neither had the United Nations nor other superpowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo had not replied to any comments—not because he hadn’t seen them, nor because he didn’t want to, but because he had no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Cang Luo, on Yuanwu Continent, was on the phone with Li Weiguo, head of Fenglin Huoshan, listening to a stream of stern reprimands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Weiguo shouted: “Cang Luo! Do you know what you’re doing right now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have you considered the consequences? Don’t you realize revealing Yuanwu Continent’s existence will cause global panic?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are you doing to China?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>China and all nations understood: if Yuanwu Continent’s existence were made public, it would trigger global chaos and universal panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the Dark Forest Law!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Earth’s people learned of another world, after brief excitement and curiosity, they would inevitably wonder: does this world threaten Earth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does it threaten humanity? Will it destroy Earth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once these questions arose, people would panic, halt production, and obsess over how to escape the unknown destruction...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would become demoralized, triggering countless problems: crime rates would surge, prices would rise, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most critically, wars would erupt—over escape resources, over resources from the other world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Yuanwu Continent even attacked, Earth would destroy itself through civil war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, all Earth nations firmly refused to allow Yuanwu Continent’s existence to be leaked—at least not before next year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Earth’s nations had not yet prepared to defend against Yuanwu Continent’s invasion, nor to control global chaos...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discovering Cang Luo had leaked Yuanwu Continent’s existence via video and Weibo, Fenglin Huoshan immediately initiated a network lockdown—but was blocked by a group of mysterious hackers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they eventually repelled the hackers after a grueling cyberwar, they had missed the optimal window; the leak could no longer be stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Fenglin Huoshan had not given up. They planned to make Cang Luo cooperate in a staged performance, forcing him to publicly declare it a social media scam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Weiguo took a breath and continued: “Cang Luo, it’s not too late to turn back. We need you to cooperate with us—label this as a social media marketing fraud...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finished?” Cang Luo interrupted, smiling faintly. “Now you remember me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where were you when my company on Earth was ruined by that guy who called himself ‘Ben Shao’? Where were you when he threatened to kill my family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You didn’t protect my private property—and when I demanded you arrest him immediately, you claimed you hadn’t identified him yet? Didn’t have evidence? Had no authority to arrest?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha! Is there anyone Fenglin Huoshan can’t investigate? I think you just didn’t want to—or were too afraid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Cang, listen to me, it’s like this...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough!” Cang Luo cut him off, voice low. “I understand now. You only see me as a tool to extract intelligence from Yuanwu Continent. You never truly cared for me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo took a deep breath and continued: “I won’t forget I’m Chinese, nor that I’m a descendant of Yan and Huang. I won’t do anything to betray China.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, because you once saved my family and still protect them, I’ll continue providing you with intelligence—I’m grateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what?” Li Weiguo breathed out in relief, yet tensed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo said firmly: “But from now on, I refuse to be manipulated by you. I will live in the sunlight. I will protect my family and my property my own way...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Luo had thought it through: others can never be fully trusted. Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself. His family and property must be guarded by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Cang Luo was on Yuanwu Continent and could not personally protect his Earth-bound family and assets, he had thought of a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would reveal Yuanwu Continent’s existence to the entire world—make every human on Earth know it was a cultivation world, a civilization that might invade Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, some would be thrilled, excited, eager—eager to become warriors, to gain superhuman power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others would fall into panic, fearing Earth’s invasion, fearing death at the hands of otherworlders...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, whether thrilled or terrified, all would depend on him—for he was Earth’s only transdimensional traveler, the only human who could send intelligence from Yuanwu Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Want to know how to become a warrior? Want to know Yuanwu Continent’s cultivation system? Want to know everything about Yuanwu Continent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can tell you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worried about Yuanwu Continent’s invasion? Want to know when it will come? Want to know what power its warriors wield?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can tell you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Cang Luo would become a global public figure—the most valuable person on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he would no longer be manipulated by any nation, no longer coerced under the guise of “protecting his family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And under the pressure of global public opinion, under the looming threat of Yuanwu Continent’s invasion, no one would dare harm his family or property—instead, they would protect them voluntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could even profit from this, and use it to uncover the true identity of that man who called himself “Ben Shao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Weiguo fell silent for a long time, then said: “Little Cang, don’t you trust your homeland? Don’t worry—I’ll send specialists to investigate your company’s sabotage right away...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need!” Cang Luo sneered. “I trust my homeland—but I don’t trust certain people. I’ll handle my company’s affairs myself. Just protect my family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Cang Luo ended the call and opened Weibo...\u003C\u002Fp>",1623,"2026-06-21T06:04:04.528Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d8dee5f2f55b2f4b69beb6929a21dd4853296cd0dc4037a4a4c65265cea9fa86","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-97","high-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-chapter-95",157,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-arts-across-two-worlds-cover.jpg"]
