Chapter 649: Peace conference
The main topic of this empire summit was to discuss the peace of the continent.
This conference was proposed by Miracle City, so the location was chosen for the Miracle Royal Palace. Since the Miracle Royal Palace had been constructed, it was the top conference site for the continent.
There were a total of twenty two empire level powers on the continent, with three groups being completely isolated from the world. Even if the something large happened, they would still maintain their indifferent stance. Therefore, excluding these three powers, the other nineteen powers all attended this conference.
There was no need to doubt it.
It was an unprecedented peak summit.
Every power in attendance was a peak existence on the continent.
The main topic this time was the establishment of the Miracle Federation and to discuss the future development of the continent. Each emperor was sitting there with a serious look on their faces. Regardless of whether they had a good or bad relationship with Miracle City, almost not a single emperor was willing to see Miracle City swallowing the Big Dry Empire to become a super power.
"City Lord Chu Tian's ideological changes are too advanced. Your wedding has already caused stirs over the continent that hasn't stopped yet and now you've set up the Miracle Federation, we old fellows really can't keep up to your thoughts at all." The one who spoke first was the Dragon Territory's Dragon Lord. As one of the six allied empires, the Dragon Territory's relation with Miracle City has always been good, therefore the Dragon Lord was not going against Chu Tian. He patiently said to him, "If you only want to set up the Miracle Federation, I think with Miracle City's current fame, position, and power, it is all expected. The only problem now is that the scope of your territory is too big."
"That's right!" The Wild Beast Empire's Wild Beast Emperor couldn't sit still, "The Miracle City's alliance territory already surpasses the normal territory of an empire. If the Big Dry Empire is also added in, that will bring in half the western continent and the Western Sea. At that time, perhaps even a few empires together wouldn't be able to compare to the Miracle Federation."
The Burning Heaven Emperor said, "We ask the City Lord to reconsider. After all, your actions may damage your relations to the countries of the continent and destroy Miracle City's image on the continent."
"I say, why are you all so courteous with him for?" An emperor stood up in front of everyone and exploded with rage, releasing a powerful aura, "Every empire level power on the continent has over ten thousand years of history and your Miracle City is directly annexing one. I think that this will cause chaos in the territory which will spread all over, creating flames of turmoil all over the continent. I cannot agree to something like this happening!"
"That is right!" Another emperor level character stood up and said, "The continent has reached a balance and this peace has lasted for over a thousand years. Although there have been frictions between empires, there hasn't been a country exterminating war in over a thousand years. Miracle City is trying to annex the Big Dry Empire in one fell swoop, wouldn't this destroy the balance?"
"Object!"
"Object!"
"This kind of matter definitely can't be allowed to happen!"
Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu never said a world, but the entire conference hall was filled with sounds of opposition. However, they had expected this scene, therefore the two of them didn't show any surprise at all. They were just calmly waiting for them to finish talking.
"My position is very simple." Chu Tian calmly sat there. He was already no longer a nameless person, even when faced with these emperors, he wouldn't show any submissiveness at all, "I'll be frank with you all. I've invited everyone here today to let everyone discuss a matter on how to solve this, not to let everyone stop us."
"Chu Tian, what do you mean!"
"You still don't understand?" Chu Tian tapped his finger, "Miracle City's decision is firm, whether you all agree or not, this matter will not change. The Miracle Federation will surely be formed, this is already a fact and no one is able to stop it. Today we're here to discuss peace based on this established fact and to explore the development of the continent over the next hundreds of years, letting us develop together."
Everyone looked blankly at each other.
The emperors were already getting angry.
This wild brat was simply not putting them in his eyes at all.
These people were all people who had become famous hundreds of years ago and Chu Tian was a brat who had just appeared on the continent for less than two years. He actually dared to not put them in his eyes, this was actually very rude behaviour.
Chu Tian indeed didn't put them in his eyes as he continued to say, "The Miracle Federation being formed is the trend of the world, there is nothing that can stop it. Miracle City has the continent's strongest technology and the Big Dry Empire is the Western Sea's strongest empire. Once our two powers form the Miracle Federation, we will immediately become the largest power on the western continent. If I may say something offensive, even if everyone came together at that time, you wouldn't be able to stop us."
The expressions of everyone changed.
This fellow was just too arrogant.
Was he declaring war on all the powers of the continent?
"Good Chu Tian, we never thought you were so ambitious. It seems like there is nothing to discuss today."
"That's right, let's prepare to fight!"
"Our nineteen powers can't compare to a single small Miracle Federation? Even if you are confident, you shouldn't go too far!"
The emperors wanted to storm out.
"All of you calm down, wait for him to finish." An ice cold voice without any anger sounded at this time. The one who spoke was the Netherworld Sea's Nether King. The Nether King was one of the strongest emperors and because he was an undead, no one knew just how long he had lived for.
Actually out of all the emperors, the Nether King was the one who wanted to break off from Miracle City the least.
The undead did not mean undying, everlasting, and never aging, those that actually understood the undead wouldn't think this way. The undead were not undying because once one became an undead, all their senses stopped existing. Their sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, and their bodily functions all stopped. They didn't need to eat, didn't need to reproduce, didn't need to sleep. The undead were like flames in a cage, only sensing this world through special means.
If this state was maintained for long, their soul and spirit would degrade. The aging of the body could be cured with herbs, but the degradation of the soul couldn't be reversed.
Recently, the birth of the Miracle Continent made the undead of the Netherworld Sea surge into the Miracle Continent in great forces. These undead could regain flesh bodies on the Miracle Continent, allowing them to experience the world as a mortal, which was a great help to their degradation problem.
The undead were a race that wanted nothing and the Netherworld Sea was one of the most mysterious powers of the continent, with a terrifying and powerful background hidden within. The Netherworld Sea didn't participate in the wars of the continent because riches had no meaning to them. Only letting them last forever would have value to them.
The several emperors that wanted to leave hesitated.
The biggest problem now were the positions of the six empires allied to Miracle City.
The Netherworld Sea had the deepest background and history of the six allied empires. If the Netherworld Sea chose to be on the Miracle Federation's side, they simply had no hope of overthrowing the Miracle Federation.
Everyone carefully thought about it. Chu Tian's words were a bit arrogant, but that didn't mean they weren't true. Miracle City had already reached their current position, they were already an existence that couldn't be casually destroyed. The transportation and communication systems of the continent all belonged to Miracle City and they were all established by Miracle City. This meant that if they were to antagonize Miracle City, Miracle City just needed to cut them off and they would return to their previous condition.
Not to mention fighting Miracle City at that time.
If the various empire armies were to cross the continent, they might not even reach their destination in two years. Miracle City had powerful transport technology, especially a powerful weapon like the Space Gate and the Deep Space Weapons they made not that long ago. They could completely destroy the armies of the empires before they could even gather.
Even if the continent's armies could gather together.
Would they be able to defeat the Miracle Federation?
Too difficult! Miracle City's technology was far more advanced than that of the continent and they reached a new level each year, therefore there were too many uncertainties. When the Big Dry Empire wanted to attack Miracle City, Miracle City was only a power that was a bit inferior to a normal warring kingdom. Who would have thought that the Big Dry Empire would have lost at that time?
There was order in history.
If the countries of the continent were to group together to fight the Miracle Federation, it looked like the Miracle Federation had no chance of winning, but who knew what the result would be if they actually fought? Once this battle began, it would be hard for it to stop.
If the Miracle Federation were to fight twenty powers, even if Miracle City couldn't hold, Miracle City could all back into the Western Sea, the underground, or into Outer Space. In that case, none of them could chase after them since they didn't have the necessary technology.
If they couldn't eliminate Miracle City in one fell swoop.
This power would eventually come back and they would create a nightmare for the continent!
This conference today, they had to keep it going whether they wanted to or not. If they could reach an ending that everyone was satisfied with, the continent would reach an unprecedented disaster.
Chapter 650: Joint council
Everyone's position was all expected.
Including the Nether King representing the undead.
Chu Tian dared to have no fear first was because the Miracle Federation had the confidence of repelling their attacks. Although every one of the nineteen powers were very strong, it was not an easy matter for them to work together.
It was because they were too strong!
This would make it hard for them to sincerely cooperate.
If over ten empires wanted to work together, without Miracle City needing to make a move, they would collapse internally because of racial or country contradictions. To put it bluntly, they would be a motley gathered crew if they were to come together and they wouldn't be able to properly function without several years worth of time.
Now they could properly discuss!
"As for the Miracle Federation matter, I think I should handle it." Meng Qingwu knew that Chu Tian was reckless in speaking. If she allowed him to speak, it was impossible for him not to cause trouble, so Meng Qingwu personally explained the Miracle Federation plan, "As for the establishment of the Miracle Federation, everyone shouldn't look at our increase in power, but rather what is our essence."
The Burning Heaven Emperor asked, "What is your essence?"
"No matter what changes, going from Miracle City, to the Forest Alliance, to the Miracle Federation, our essence will never change. That essence is Miracle Commerce." Meng Qingwu slowly said, "Our advanced technology is our backing, using trade to set a foothold, using trade to develop, using trade to create a country, so in the end, we are still a company. Based on that root, we are only merchants and not anyone ambitious. Dominating the continent does not have any meaning to us, we would rather do business with the entire continent, letting everyone enjoy Miracle Commerce's products and technology. That is our core."
"War is an extension of politics and stealing benefits. Our Miracle Commerce is different from other countries, our core benefits do not come from war, but rather peace. Therefore, we have no reason to cause war and dominate the world because we rely purely on our technology and business to reach the peak. So based on this essence, Miracle Commerce has no aggressive nature at all. As long as the world is prosperous and everyone works together, we would become the true winners."
Everyone knit their brows.
Although these words were reasonable.
It was too hard for these people to swallow.
"Since Miracle Commerce had emerged on the continent a few years ago, we have never seized a single inch of land. We have always used cooperation and openness as our method of approach and the Miracle Federation upholds this idea." Meng Qingwu said this before adding, "The times are different now. Everyone can see it, Miracle City is already stepping up to the entire continent and our technology is becoming stronger and stronger, but our own forces cannot compare to anyone's. Now the continent is at peace, so we can barely remain in our current position. Everything has unseen circumstances, so if there is a large scale battle that appears, Miracle City will definitely be the first target of many countries. You think we can feel safe like that?"
Meng Qingwu said with a serious expression, "Miracle City's technology sits at the peak of this world, but there is no corresponding power guarding this technology. This is like a little child guarding a large treasure, while being surrounded by many strong men eyeing them. The instability and danger of this situation is much greater than that of a super power rising. We have to take this approach to increase our power and integrate ourselves as part of the continent, letting everyone win. I hope that a battle will never happen again."
Miracle City's technology was indeed too enticing.
If they were to get into a conflict with Miracle City now, no one would win in the end. This would be something that would bring no one any benefits.
The Wind Moon Empress couldn't help saying, "Then what are you prepared to do? Since you have invited us, you must have already thought of a solution!"
The Wind Moon Empress was also one of the emperors put in a hard place.
The reason for this was almost laughable. The emperors had become addicted to playing on the Miracle Continent and as more and more interesting things appeared on the Miracle Continent, these empires would benefit more compared to the other empires. Therefore, those with deep emotions and heavy commitments, if they were to break off from Miracle City now.
It would be a very hard decision.
It really was an especially difficult choice.
"In this conference today, we are just the hosts. We hope to create an alliance between all nineteen of you." Meng Qingwu didn't beat around the bush, "We hope to gather the power of all nineteen countries to create a joint council that will rule over the continent and maintain the peace."
Meng Qingwu added, "The Miracle Federation is willing to promise that we will forever remain neutral, never pulling in any powers and accepting the supervision of the joint council. No matter what happens on the continent, we will not use military force to invade any place. If we violate this agreement, the entire world will attack us."
This agreement would place the Miracle Federation on the opposite side of every power on the continent. If the Miracle Federation caused any trouble, the entire world would gather together to deal with the Miracle Federation.
An emperor said, "The Miracle Federation is developing incredibly fast, who knows what will happen in the future? We might have a chance of winning now, but what about in a hundred years?"
"This is another important chip being released today." Meng Qingwu had already thought of this, "Miracle Commerce will lift the ban on our products. We can build many Transport Towers for free all over the continent that will be managed by the joint council. Other than that, Miracle City's highly advanced weapons, from our warships to our Deep Space Weapons, we will sell 50% of what we produce. We will let Miracle City's weapons flow onto the continent, letting the entire continent become stronger."
This was considered a sincere condition.
Actually everyone knew that Miracle City swallowing the Big Dry Empire was just them going on the path of an overlord ahead of time. Otherwise with Miracle City's current development, even if they didn't swallow the Big Dry Empire, as long as they formed the Miracle Federation and developed for a few more years, they could rule over the entire continent.
This was a hard to change fact.
It could only change if the Miracle Federation was destroyed before it was formed, but was it as easy to accomplish as saying it?
The Miracle Federation's main disparity with the continent's countries was in their technology. If they couldn't make up this difference in technology and weapons, the Miracle Federation would have the same ending even if they didn't swallow the Big Dry Empire. Now with the condition of swallowing the Big Dry Empire, Miracle City was willing to take out half the advanced weapons they produced, which was equal to arming the other countries of the continent with advanced weapons. This kind of continent might be able to form a new balance.
"No matter how strong the weapons are, they are still made by Miracle City. It's hard for us to be assured." An emperor who was opposed to the establishment of the Miracle Federation began to relax, but he gave a new condition, "It isn't that the Miracle Federation can't be established, we request Miracle City publish some of your technology."
"Fine!" Before Meng Qingwu could speak, Chu Tian directly replied for her, "Miracle City can release all our military technology! For example, the Source Energy Cannon, the Mech Suits, and the warships. We can give up all of this military technology!"
When this was said.
Everyone was stunned.
Would Miracle Commerce really release all their Source Energy Weapon production technology? This was a very important technology! If the people of the continent could build Source Energy Weapons, the entire continent's strength would soar and everyone wouldn't need to fear Miracle City.
Meng Qingwu slightly knit her brows before quickly relaxing them. It's fine to release it, Miracle City had spent four years developing this technology, but the countries of the continent would take at least several years to understand them all. Miracle Commerce was already controlling most of the important resource fields on the continent, they could develop the most perfect production line during this period.
So what if the continent's countries could grasp these technologies?
The talents, resources, and production lines were all seized by Miracle City. If they wanted to produce large scale warships, even ten years wouldn't be enough. Even if the other powers had Miracle City's released technology, understanding them and developing them further were two different things. In the early years, they could at most create some Source Energy Cannons and missiles, it was impossible for them to make any advanced products/
Miracle City's high class weapons, like the giant mothership or the Deep Space Weapons, those were actually made of several fields of research. It not only included the Source Energy Weapons, it also included the energy field, the Smart Brain Field, and etc. It would already be considered good if these empire level powers could build Source Energy Cannons and missiles in the beginning.
Miracle City's lead in terms of equipment wouldn't stop.
But they are also given these power the chance to resist.
Chu Tian added a condition, "We can publicize the secret information on the Source Energy Weapons, but we need to make an appropriate revision to the continental agreement. After the Miracle Federation is established, we will never expand and never take the initiative to swallow a single inch of land outside the federation."
This condition sounded like there was no difference, but there was a large trick inside.
Not taking the initiative was not the same as not doing anything.
This also meant that if some small or medium sized countries wanted to join the Miracle Federation themselves, that meant it wouldn't be going against the continent's peace treaty. This would also give some leeway to the Miracle Federation in the future.
The empires discussed this between them for a while.
The Wind Moon Empress, the Dark Night Elven King, the Nether King, the dragon great elder, the Burning Heaven Emperor, and the Wild Beast Emperor, these six empires agreed first. This was because these six empires had cooperated with Miracle City for a very long time, they even had their own friends inside the federation.
Therefore, compared to other people, they had invested interests. Therefore, they were more willing to accept this matter. Right now, Miracle City was willing to publicize their military technology, so the continent would certainly reach a new balance in the future.
The Miracle Federation being established was already a sure thing. Since they had no way of stopping this from happening, then naturally they would comply and try to gain as much benefits as possible.
These six empire level powers had already agreed.
How could the other people not agree?
No one here was a fool. No one was willing to see a power that could dominate all the empires being born, but the Miracle Federation was too strong and they had the assistance of six empires. Even if the other powers came together, it would be hard for them to cooperate, so they could only agree.
Everyone spent several days to discuss the details.
Finally the continent treaty and joint council was formed.
This alliance treaty was the first treaty signed by all the emperors of the continent, having over a thousand different rules, firmly restricting the continent. It laid the cornerstone of development for the continent for the next millennium.
Chapter 651: Federation
After a few days.
The closed conference finally announced the results to the entire continent.
The nineteen empires would centralize all the normal countries on the continent and create a United Nations, which would be led by a joint council.
The council would have a total of nineteen seats.
Each emperor would sent a trusted confidant to become a council member.
This council will protect the continent and the peace. When an irreconcilable argument appeared between countries of the continent, the council can choose to interfere, whether passively or directly and they could hold a fair trial. If the countries didn't accept the results of the trial, the council would have the rights to authorize a punitive army to take care of that country, with the member states being obliged to help the peacekeeping troops.
This joint council seemed like it was made to protect the peace and fairness of the continent, but its main starting point and goal was because of the newly founded Miracle Federation. This was because once the Miracle Federation showed any threat, the council could summon the continent to resist the Miracle Federation.
Miracle City not only did not reject this, on the day the council was announced, they gave five warships, a hundred fighter planes, a thousand cannons, and tens of thousands of Source Energy Weapons to the council. Other than that, they were also making a Space Gate, four Transport Towers, and giving five hundred Transport Scrolls to the council, which would be kept in the hands of the alliance heads. As well, they were building a large palace in a golden spot in Miracle City as the main headquarters for the joint council, allowing them to react instantly to anything that happens on the continent.
No matter how civilized the world was, what ruled in the end was still power. Without enough power, the joint council only exist in name, becoming a puppet or useless organization.
The support of large amounts of weapons were necessary.
They had Transport Towers, Space Gates, Transport Scrolls, communication equipment, and virtual headquarters, they were fully equipped.
Miracle City smashing the Big Dry Empire with the help of the six empires had already spread over the continent. Everyone knew that Miracle City had created a mysterious item called the "Space Gate" that could quickly send an army to any corner of the continent.
If this terrifying equipment was in anyone's hands, it meant they could attack any place on the continent. This was a very terrifying and threatening weapon. The joint council had not even been officially founded and Miracle City had given them large amounts of precious weapons, as well as constructing a Space Gate for them. This was already enough to give the joint council a large amount of power and jurisdiction.
Miracle Commerce's constructions couldn't be missing, but they couldn't establish a completely independent council with just Miracle Commerce's support. To be a member of the joint council, the first condition was being a peak empire on the continent. Each member of the joint council would deploy one hundred thousand elite troops from their country, establishing a super army of almost two million for the joint council.
Other than that, each empire would need to pay a participation fee each year. Miracle Commerce would support the joint alliance in building factories for various industries, but before the United Nations was completely self sustaining, the deficit in the fund would be provided evenly by each empire.
A major part of the joint council was its neutrality.
This was a power that had to be absolutely neutral.
In order to ensure the council would be neutral, in the beginning phases of the council, there would be an Undead Sage of over thirty thousand years as the speaker. This Undead Sage was filled with knowledge and experience, but it didn't have any free will at all. It could only do a few things that it wanted to do after it was induced with a spiritual energy technique, so it would guarantee fairness in the council.
In the future, the various empires could ask for Miracle Commerce's help to build a special Smart Brain for the joint council. With an emotionless super Smart Brain acting as the council speaker, the members of the council might be affected by emotions, but the Smart Brain wouldn't. The Smart Brain would use its super analysis and processing power which made it better than the normal members.
The establishment of this joint council would have an incomparably large effect on the continent. This was a gathered army commanded by the joint council that came from all the empires and they were armed with powerful equipment. They would be in charge of protecting the peace of the continent in the future.
This was the biggest gain from this conference.
All aspects of preparation were in full swing.
The Miracle Federation matter already couldn't be dragged on any longer.
Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu came to the Big Dry Empire to clean up. The Big Dry Empire had already been adjusted by Meng Qingwu and now over 90% of the people had already accepted being a part of the Miracle Federation. However, no matter how good Meng Qingwu was, there would always be someone who opposed this.
Their opponents were people who lost benefits being led by the noble families. These nobles didn't agree to the establishment of the Miracle Federation and instigated the citizens and armies they controlled, finally forming a resistance force. For this resistance, Chu Tian's methods were very simple. He bought out those that he could, scared those that he couldn't, beat the ones that he couldn't scare, and killed those one he couldn't beat into submission.
Miracle City's fighter planes were all deployed to the Big Dry Empire and the Deep Space Weapons were aimed at the Big Dry Empire. If there was a rebel army that appeared, it would be impossible to hide from Miracle City's eyes. Miracle City's Deep Space Weapons and fast armies could eliminate them with lightning fast offense.
In around half a month.
The Big Dry Empire rebel forces all stopped their actions.
Miracle City had not just eliminated the rebel forces in just half a month, they also connected the two sides of the Big Dry Empire. In just half a month, they built a Transport Tower in the thirty six states of the Big Dry Empire, as well as covering the entire empire with Miracle City's newly developed Heaven's Net warship with a stronger signal. In just a few days, this sealed off Big Dry Empire that had never touched advanced technology before suddenly experience the convenience brought by technology.
This was just the beginning. In the future with the sprouting up of Transport Towers, Space Warehouses will also create a powerful transport system and Miracle Commerce's technology would arrive in waves. The citizens of the empire would soon learn how beneficial it was to join the Miracle Federation.
The trend was set.
The opposition had to submit.
Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu had smoothly subdued the Big Dry Empire.
Almost at the same time, the central joint council of the continent was formed. In order to show the Miracle Federation legitimacy and to support the newly formed joint council, Chu Tian used his identity as the Miracle City's City Lord to submit an application for the formation of the federation.
The Miracle Federation's formation was an internal decision, so Chu Tian did this to give the Miracle Federation legal justification. This was because the joint council was made from the empires, so if the federation was formed through the joint council, the Miracle Federation would officially accepted and no one would dare say anything in the future.
The joint council needed a heavy item like the Miracle Federation to build their credibility. If even something as powerful as Miracle City needing an application to the joint council to form a federation, then would there be any power that would dare go against the joint council?
Both sides had their needs.
Chu Tian submitted the application and the joint council accepted it. Finally, after a discussion with the council and with through a vote, it was accepted. The joint council planned out the Miracle Federation's territory, which included the Forest Alliance, the kingdom alliance, the underground alliance, the Western Sea alliance, and the Big Dry Empire, these five large areas. Each area would have a local power that would have administrative rights and military power, but most of the military power would be controlled by Miracle City.
The joint council and the Miracle Federation signed a contract.
This contract stated that after the Miracle Federation was established, they would never expand, invade, or isolate themselves. Other than that, they couldn't move a large army to attack another country. This was all announced to the world through the joint alliance, having the entire world notarize and supervise this contract.
Meng Qingwu's mediation ended in a complete victory.
The empires had no way of dealing with the establishment of the Miracle Federation. Now that the Miracle Federation had spread its wings, the other powers couldn't compare to its power at all. From now one, it would be the number one power on the continent!
But the Miracle Federation couldn't be established just because they said it was being established.
This was because even though Miracle Commerce had been developing in the Forest of Chaos for many years, they hadn't completely spread through the entire Forest of Chaos. Before the announcement of the establishment of the Miracle Federation, there were many neutral forces in the Forest of Chaos.
They hadn't even taken care of a trivial Forest of Chaos and now they had to connect five large areas, this was not something that could be done in a single day. But that was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that the Miracle Federation was about to be established, but they still didn't have an official leader.
This was because the Miracle Federation was different from the countries of the continent. This was not an empire, so the title of emperor was not suitable. This was because the leader needed to manage many areas and countless states, therefore it was only appropriate to call the highest position "president".
The president position was not inherited or appointed. In order to have the best beginning, although they knew there was no suspense with the results, Miracle City still started a presidential election throughout the entire Miracle Federation.
Chapter 652: Presidential selection
The Miracle Federation's first presidential election was about to begin.
The first presidential election took candidates from the Forest Alliance like Miracle City's City Lord Chu Tian, the vice City Lord Meng Qingwu, Vivian, the production minister and the City Lord's wife, Meng Yingying. It also included the Eternal Forest's Lancelot, the Dragon Lord Nidhogg, the leader of the kingdom alliance, Chen Bingyu, and others.
The Big Dry Empire was a defeated country that had just joined, so there was no one allowed to participate in this presidential election. The Miracle Federation's president could only be picked from these candidates. Actually for an election like this, there was no suspense at all, but in order to set a good tradition, they still had to follow the rules.
Although the Miracle Federation members didn't think so.
This matter still stirred large amounts of discussion and controversy in the Miracle Federation.
Luo You Lian was the crown princess of the number one attached kingdom of the Big Dry Empire, the Heavenly Dragon Warring Kingdom. Actually when the Big Dry Empire began fighting Miracle City, she had paid attention to Miracle City like everyone else. With the Big Dry Empire losing again and again, it filled Luo You Lian with an indescribable fear towards Miracle City. She did not understand why the large Big Dry Empire was beaten so badly when fighting such a small power.
Especially after she learned that the Big Dry Emperor had been captured alive, Luo You Lian had lost confidence in the Big Dry Empire. The Big Dry Emperor's might couldn't be contested in the Big Dry Empire, so after being caught like this, what face did the Big Dry Empire have to stay on the continent?
Luo You Lian began to learn more about Miracle City. She used all kinds of channels to obtain all kinds of products from Miracle City and from using Miracle City's products, Luo You Lian learned more about Miracle City. She began to understand why Miracle City had won this war.
This kind of power filled with creativity, it would become the new future of the continent.
Luo You Lian in the future witnessed the chaos of the Big Dry Empire. The news of the Big Dry Emperor being kidnapped had been sealed by the upper level of the Big Dry Empire, but without knowing why, the paper couldn't contain the fire and the news was spread all over the empire. Some people said that the Big Dry Emperor had already lost his cultivation and was being tortured all day in Miracle City. Some people said that the Big Dry Empire had lost an army of over two million and had to submit over a hundred cities. There were also rumours that the loyal attached countries had broken their ties with the Big Dry Empire and there were empires planning to attack them while they were down.
All kinds of rumours flew all over and it was hard to tell what was real or not, it short is made everyone panic. Merchants stopped doing business, people stopped growing herbs, there were many families that were prepared to relocate, and even the administrative system completely froze.
The Heavenly Dragon Warring Kingdom also had some people who suggested separating from the Big Dry Empire and Luo You Lian was a firm supporter of this proposition. The reason was very simple, the Big Dry Empire had no time to care about an attached country at all. The Heavenly Dragon Warring Kingdom would take this chance and separate themselves from the Big Dry Empire's control, turning to Miracle City's backing instead.
But something Luo You Lian never would have imagined happened.
The Heavenly Dragon Warring Kingdom escaped the Big Dry Empire's control and were prepared to rely on another force when a very important piece of news came. The Big Dry Empire announced that they would merge with Miracle City, henceforth becoming a country under Miracle City's control.
This change was too quick and too shocking.
Luo You Lian was very grateful that the Big Dry Empire's Big Dry Emperor didn't participate in the presidential election. Otherwise if the Big Dry Empire went all out in the presidential election, the Heavenly Dragon Warring Kingdom that had betrayed the Big Dry Empire would not have a good time.
The Miracle Federation's election was separated into local and central elections. There were local presidents and a centralized president. Of course, the local president was only the leader of the local area and the main power laid in the hands of the central area, meaning the Big Dry Empire would no longer be a completely independent country from now on.
To make an empire submit to this degree.
Just what did Miracle City do?
Luo You Lian was shocked, but she also felt this result was very good. Miracle City and the Big Dry Empire could turn a war into an alliance, this would inevitably create a giant on the western continent. For a warring kingdom like the Heavenly Dragon Warring Kingdom, they could remain an independent country or they could become a part of the federation, no longer caring about the Big Dry Empire.
The federation's presidential election was about to begin.
Miracle City gave a list on the presidential candidates and information on them to each area, advertising Miracle Commerce's high level members while doing this. This gave the local areas a deep understanding towards Miracle City and Miracle Commerce.
When Luo You Lian saw Chu Tian's history before he came to dominate the continent, she simply could not believe her eyes. How could there be such a legendary person in this world? She thought that Miracle Commerce's technology and background had been accumulated over thousands of years, but now it seemed like she was completely mistaken. Everything came from nothing and they took less than five years.
Less than five years!
What could they do in five years?
A cultivator could close up without knowing a thing for five years. An expert or a powerful clan could see five years pass by their eyes without caring at all. Chu Tian had built Miracle Commerce from nothing in less than five years, turning this small company from a small country to a large group that could spread all over the continent.
Luo You Lian was extremely interested in Miracle Commerce's chairman Chu Tian, but as she learned more about him, she found that everything about this man who had blazed all over the continent was incredible. No one knew where his wisdom came from, no one knew why his brain contained all of this, even the history of a birth was like a mystery.
After ten days.
The presidential election was finally held.
Luo You Lian came to the Heavenly Dragon Warring Kingdom voting area with her family. It was only a Heavenly Dragon Imperial City, but one and a half million people came to participate. When Luo You Lian saw the voting area, she was stunned by the sea of people in front of her.
"Royal father, what is going on? There are this many people, how can we vote?"
The Heavenly Dragon King looked like a middle aged man who was around fifty. He never thought that so many people would participate in the election. When faced with the crown princess' question, he pointed at the sky. Luo You Lian looked up at the sky and saw a giant airship flying over the skies of Heavenly Dragon Imperial City. This giant ship that was over five hundred meters had Miracle Commerce and Miracle Federation's symbol on it. It was currently slowly falling over the Imperial City.
Too big!
Too shocking!
How could this kind of giant metal ship made of iron fly in the sky?
This was their country's first time experiencing Miracle Commerce's products and each citizen was stunned. This was hard to avoid, after all, Miracle Commerce's products in normal people's eyes had already surpassed their imaginations. It could subvert a person's view of the world.
"Many thanks to everyone's support to the Miracle Federation's first election."
"This giant ship is a Heaven's Net super spirit and information ship. The first Miracle Federation election will be using a spiritual energy voting method. Each voter can use their spiritual energy to directly deposit their vote. The fairness of each vote will be guaranteed, in order to lay the democratic and honorable cornerstone for the Miracle Federation in the future..."
Everyone heard the voice coming from the Miracle City warship and everyone had stunned expressions of disbelief.
Voting with spiritual energy? This really had never been heard of before.
Every person's spiritual energy was unique, the chance of spiritual energy being the same would not surpass a one in twenty million chance. Therefore it was impossible to cheat, it was impossible for the unique spiritual energy vote to be false. This time the Miracle Federation held an open election and it was clear who gave each spiritual energy vote. Other than that, during the spiritual energy election, Miracle City could use the spiritual energy to tell if the votes were fair because spiritual energy was directly connected to the mind. If someone was forced or bought out, the spiritual energy vote would be excluded.
This meant that one could not depend on strength to win the Miracle Federation presidential election.
This was true democracy, this was truly advanced.
The Miracle Federation's presidential election would be held every ten years and of course a president could be re-elected many times, but that meant each president would be defined by their actions. A cruel ruler who slaughtered his citizens would never win the heart off his people, so he would be cast of the throne by his citizens.
Similarly, as long as an outstanding person acted morally, they could climb step by step from the foundations and finally participate in the local presidential elections. In the future, they could even participate in the central presidential elections. Every person had an endless possibility, it just depended on how outstanding they were.
From a local president to the central president.
This kind of transparent and open political system was unique on the continent.
But it gave people endless yearning and motivation. From now on, the officials wouldn't be nobles and if they weren't good enough, they could also be pulled down from their positions. This kind of competition and supervision would help maintain the stability of the Miracle Federation, as well as giving those integrated countries hope.
There were many people dissatisfied with Miracle City in the Big Dry Empire, but with this kind of political system, it gave many of them hope and opportunities. The Big Dry Emperor could also participate in the presidential election in another ten years. With the Big Dry Empire's powerful advantage in terms of population, the Big Dry Emperor would certainly be a powerful candidate. Wouldn't the Big Dry Empire be able to control the Miracle Federation at that time?
This sounded like a fantasy, but it was actually possible for this to happen. This showed how the Miracle Federation was fair and lawful.
Chapter 653: President Chu Tian
The Miracle Federation presidential election had officially begun, being held in over two hundred areas. There were over ten special warships and they were responsible for over twenty areas each. They would remain in an area taking votes for a day, so it would take a total of twenty days.
The ballots would be sent to Miracle City and the results would be announced to the entire continent. Although everyone knew there was no suspense in this election, everyone still happily paid attention to it. The various countries had even opened gambling houses to bet on candidate ranks and vote totals.
Five days passed.
There was a clear trend in the first wave of votes. Chu Tian alone took up 70% of the votes and Meng Qingwu took 20% of the remaining votes. The other ten percent belonged to the other candidates.
Ten days passed.
The second wave of votes basically secured the ending. Chu Tian had a total 65% of the votes, with Meng Qingwu following behind with 26%. The two of them added together made up for 91% of the total votes. This meant that all the other candidates added together didn't even make up a single digit, so these people could already be eliminated.
After the Miracle Federation citizens understood Miracle City and Miracle Commerce, although Chu Tian's position was unbreakable, there were also many people who supported Meng Qingwu. Chu Tian's supporters were made of middle and lower class because these people didn't have too deep of an understanding of Miracle City and Miracle Commerce. Therefore, they were more attracted by Chu Tian's personal history, developing a cult like worship towards Chu Tian.
Meng Qingwu's major supporters mainly came from the upper class. They knew that Miracle City and Miracle Commerce were actually controlled by Meng Qingwu. This vice City Lord was very smart and made every person admire her, therefore Meng Qingwu had a decent level of support.
Of course.
Whether it was Meng Qingwu or Chu Tian as the president, the meaning was the same. Chu Tian's influence on the continent far surpassed that of Meng Qingwu in the heart of the emperors. Because Meng Qingwu was very astute, if she wasn't attached to someone like Chu Tian, at most she could be an accomplished person in a city or country. She would definitely not be world famous like she was now.
Chu Tian was the truly inspirational person.
The post as the first president of the Miracle Federation was Chu Tian's right.
As for whether Chu Tian remained the president or not, or if Meng Qingwu, the other high level members of Miracle Commerce, or even if someone from the Big Dry Empire or another area took over, it all didn't matter.
This was because although the Miracle Federation was a country, its core was still Miracle Commerce. As long as Chu Tian's group firmly held Miracle Commerce, it didn't matter who was the federation's president. It was nothing more than hiring a CEO to manage a country, this country's real lifeline would always be held in the hands of Miracle Commerce.
Of course, with Miracle Commerce's group here, it would be hard for even the Big Dry Empire's Big Dry Emperor to become the president. The Big Dry Empire's people made up a third of the Miracle Federation, but outside the Big Dry Empire, the Big Dry Emperor had almost no support. As well, there were quite a few people in the Big Dry Empire that worshipped Miracle Commerce and that number was still growing.
After the change on the fifteenth day, there was basically no need for the election anymore.
The voter turnout had already surpassed 75%, but Chu Tian alone had over 50% of the votes. Even if the rest of the people voted for Meng Qingwu, they couldn't do anything to change this.
Miracle City immediately made an announcement. The Miracle Federation's first president was Chu Tian and the vice president was Meng Qingwu. This result couldn't have been changed since the beginning, but this announcement still drew out large amounts of cheers and excitement.
"Congratulations president!" Meng Yingying, Nangong Yun, Vivian, and the others all ran over to congratulate Chu Tian.
Nangong Yun even hugged Meng Yingying and said, "As the president's wife, shouldn't you treat us to a good meal? Our request isn't high, just the Miracle Royal Palace's Royal Feast is enough!"
Meng Yingying had fully adopted to her identity after a few days, she didn't look embarrassed at all, "Alright! Don't just mention the Royal Feast, I'll bring out a Presidential Feast that is even better than the Royal Feast!"
"Wa, Presidential Feast?" Vivian's eyes lit up, "I want it as well!"
This presidential election was a very important matter, but these people only cared about eating, like they didn't care about this matter at all. Meng Qingwu came in to say to everyone, "The president has been elected and we've submitted a notice to the continent's joint council, so now it's for the president's inaugural speech. Yingying, you are the first lady, so you also have to make a speech. Also, Nangong and Vivian, you are senior members of the federation, so you all have to attend."
"This troublesome?"
"We're different from before, the entire continent is watching us, so we have to do some official things. These can't be avoided." Meng Qingwu helplessly shrugged her shoulders, "But there is good news, our Presidential Palace has already been built. I think we can officially start using it today, do you want to take a look?"
"Presidential Palace!"
"This is great!"
"I want to see!"
Miracle City's City Lord Fort was where the City Lord did his business. Now that Chu Tian's group had already formed the Miracle Federation that dominated the continent, it was naturally time for them to change to a new location.
Everyone came to the Transport Tower and after the Transport Tower lit up, everyone was sent into the main hall of the Presidential Palace. This main hall seemed like it was completely sealed, being around the same size as a little square. It was made of crystals farmed from the moon, therefore it looked very elegant and noble.
The various emperors had all been invited.
The Wind Moon Empress looked around, "This is Miracle City's newest Presidential Palace? I think it's only normal, it's on the same level as an emperor's side palace."
The other emperors also nodded.
Everyone thought that Miracle Commerce's newly built presidential palace would be luxurious. The material seemed like it was high grade, but the space wasn't big enough, it couldn't compare to the Miracle Royal Palace.
"Everyone, don't say that too early." Chu Tian gave a soft snap, "Turn on outside view mode."
The super Smart Brain received Chu Tian's order and the floor underneath them lit up. They saw it quickly become transparent and the scene they saw shocked them. The entire floor turned into a giant map, but everyone was surprised to find that it was not a map at all, but rather a real scenic view.
The continent appeared in front of them. Mountains, lakes, canyons, seas, and forests all perfectly appeared in front of them. Everyone now understood what Miracle Commerce's presidential palace was, it was actually a giant scale floating fortress.
Chu Tian smiled at everyone's shock and said, "The Miracle Federation's presidential palace is the floating fortress Miracle City planned on building a long time ago. This fortress is only currently 10% complete, but it has rich weapon, movement, and defense systems. It can remain in the astral wind layer and can use rocket propulsion to leave the astral wind layer, entering Outer Space."
Everyone was shocked.
How did they make this kind of fortress?
Chu Tian continued explaining to everyone, "This Presidential Palace has the most advanced technology of the continent. It includes transport, weapons, energy, and communication technology, therefore it can be a command center that stays in the skies forever. In the future, the president can command the entire federation from this fortress.
This was simply too shocking.
The core of the federation was in space.
It could enter the astral wind layer and could even enter Outer Space. Even the strongest army of the continent couldn't destroy this fortress. After all, even giant dragons couldn't withstand the astral wind layer, so they were far behind in terms of aerial power.
People kept arriving at this time, which not only included guests from other countries, but also included the local presidents and the Big Dry Emperor. When the Big Dry Emperor saw the Miracle Federation's presidential palace, he understood why he lost.
But that was fine. Although he lost, he wouldn't lose everything.
The Miracle Federation was gradually becoming stronger and the Big Dry Emperor was still considered young. For someone with his cultivation, he could still live another five-six hundred years. For these five-six hundred years, the Big Dry Emperor could at least become the local president for the Big Dry Empire region. Although the Miracle Federation's presidential position wasn't hereditary, the other families couldn't compare to the Big Dry Empire's royal family, so their heirs could still be chosen as the Big Dry Empire region's local president still.
Because there was competition, the Big Dry Empire's royal family would recover eventually.
The Big Dry Emperor had already put down his complains and he now had future goals. In the next several hundred years, he would change himself and make a good president. He would govern the Big Dry Empire area well to gain the citizen's support and challenge for the presidential palace in the future.
The Big Dry Emperor could already see it, Chu Tian wasn't interested in being president at all. Letting him do it a few times was fine, but if he remained the president, Chu Tian would definitely cause trouble with his personality. After Chu Tian resigned, Meng Qingwu could do it a few times, but Miracle Commerce's people didn't care about the president position. As long as they firmly controlled Miracle Commerce, it was all fine.
As long as these two gave up on campaigning for president.
Wouldn't the Big Dry Emperor have a chance to sit on the continent's highest position?
The Big Dry Emperor had lost his goal before, so he became blindly arrogant. Now that he could go higher, he had regained his ambition and drive. At worst, he could just wait two-three hundred years!
"The live transmission has been prepared. The Miracle Federation's president, his excellency Chu Tian's speech will be sent to every corner of the continent."
"Next we invite the president to speak!"
The people on every corner of the continent were glued to their screens.
The first image that appeared was the presidential palace.
This was a thorough image taken from a fighter plane. Miracle Commerce had already planned for several months and had finished the presidential palace in time. Although it didn't seem complete, with many regions still being constructed, one could still see the general image of the presidential palace.
A low and deep voice began to narrate. The Miracle Federation's presidential alliance was a fortress made from Miracle Commerce's top technology. It had a current scale of ten warships placed together, and the snow white frame gave people an indestructible feel. This floating city turned presidential palace was currently flying over Miracle City. Its orders would flow into the Miracle Federation, becoming the Miracle Federation's brain in the sky.
Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu officially took their offices.
After their inaugural speech, the two announced the Miracle Federation's current situation.
The Miracle Federation had over one hundred and sixty small and medium sized countries, with several thousand cities being divided into eight regions. Each region would have an election for local presidents. The kings of the federation could become a candidate for the election in their region and the birth of local presidents were in full swing.
In the end, the Forest of Chaos region's president was the Elven King Lancelot, the Big Dry Empire region's president was the Big Dry Emperor, the northern country region's president was the Great Zhou Queen, Chen Bingyu, the southern country region's president was the Dragon Lord, Nidhogg, the Western Sea region's president was Jin Luo, and as for the eastern country region, the underground region, and the Outer Space region, they had Thunder's Fury, Burst Claw, and others as presidents.
These local presidents came to the presidential palace and each person represented their region to speak to the people of the continent.
Meng Qingwu also announced that administration system would be divided into low and high levels. It would go from cities, states, countries, regions, to the entire federation. The positions from lowest to highest was City Lord, Governor, King, region president, and president. From the rank of Governor and up, it would be decided from an election to ensure the fairness of the entire country. This meant that from the president to a lowly country's Governor, it would all be elected by people with spiritual energy elections.
This kind of system was unheard of on the continent.
The Miracle Federation was not just a unique state on the continent, it was the most open democratice area of the continent. This kind of mindset filled the emperors of the continent with respect and they also relaxed. Since positions were inherited through families, as long as the president was elected by the citizens, it meant that the Miracle Federation and Chu Tian didn't have the ambition to swallow the continent. At least their ambition wasn't that great.
Of course, for a giant like the Miracle Federation, it couldn't be established in just a few short months. The various countries and powers needed to be united.
After the presidential palace speech was over, everyone put even more effort into their work.
There was suddenly a large tremor that passed through Miracle City and the Forest of Chaos. Although it was not strong, the coverage area was wide and the duration was long. It made everyone deeply sense a kind of energy coming from underground.
Chapter 654: Abyss crisis
"What is going on?"
Chu Tian had been attending an event, but because he heard something had happened, he rushed back.
Meng Qingwu gave some images and data to Chu Tian with a serious expression, "We don't know the specifics yet, but we have received information from the Purgatory World. There has been a disaster in the Purgatory World and it has caused over ten million casualties. Our mines established with the other empires has also been destroyed. This underground situation seems very serious."
"What? Ten million Purgatory World lifeforms are dead!"
When the other Miracle Commerce people heard this, they were stunned.
What concept was ten million people?
The Purgatory World was that far from the surface, but even the surface world felt the vibrations from the Purgatory World. God knows what kind of matter happened in the Purgatory World just now.
The Purgatory World had been attached to Miracle City and was a large region of the Miracle Alliance, with Mei Ji as the Purgatory World president. Now that a large matter had occurred in the Purgatory World, the ones suffering a loss was not just the Miracle Federation. This was because Miracle City had already introduced the Purgatory World to the other countries in the first Miracle Summit and now they had already opened mines down there.
Now with the disaster in the Purgatory World, other than the losses Miracle Commerce and the Purgatory World locals suffered, there were several other countries, especially the six empires allied with Miracle City that all suffered heavy losses from this.
"Chu Tian, what is going on here?"
"I received an urgent report, there's been an explosion in the Purgatory World."
"What is going on here, what if the Purgatory matters harm our business? The Purgatory World materials are a very important strategic resource for us, we need them when making the Miracle Helmets! This will seriously affect our output speed!"
As expected.
When the Purgatory World matter happened.
Chu Tian's communication device kept ringing nonstop.
The emperors all wanted an explanation. This Purgatory World matter had made them suffer large losses and these people could only find Chu Tian for an explanation. Who let the Purgatory World be Chu Tian's developed territory? Since it was Chu Tian's territory, they could only ask him!
Chu Tian said to everyone, "I also don't know the specifics right now, but the Purgatory World president has gone to investigate. The report says that there was a change with the Purgatory's World's Devil's Gate Ruins that caused this explosion."
The Burning Heaven Emperor said with an enraged look, "Just what happened? How could it just randomly explode!"
"It was hard for us to build that mine in the Purgatory World!" The Wild Beast Emperor was not very satisfied with this matter either, "President Chu Tian, I know that you have been very busy lately, but you must properly investigate this matter. You have to see if this was caused by someone or if it's natural."
The others all showed their agreement.
"This matter might now by that simple." Chu Tian could already guess the reason, but Chu Tian didn't dare draw any conclusions on this matter, so he said to everyone, "I'm afraid I have to ask everyone on a trip to the Purgatory World with me."
There was no other way.
They had to go down to the Purgatory World!
Luckily the six emperors had Transport Towers in their palaces. Therefore, although it was a trip to the Purgatory World, it was no different from going into their back gardens. Chu Tian invited everyone to Darkness City's Transport Tower and after five minutes, Chu Tian and the six emperors arrived at Darkness City's Transport Tower.
These people gave emotional sighs at Miracle City's technology again.
Without this Transport Tower, if they wanted to go to the Purgatory World, they had to spend quite a bit of effort!
When they had just arrived in the Purgatory World, they found that it was different from before. The flame burning above their heads had turned a demonic green colour and this made the Purgatory World much dimmer. Other than that, there was also an evil aura that filled the air of the Purgatory World.
The dragon great elder said in a deep voice, "Such powerful evil energy!"
The Wind Moon Empress nodded in agreement, "This feeling wasn't here before, it seems like something really big happened."
A Succubus came over, it was Mei Ji who was in charge of the Purgatory World for Miracle City, "We have already investigated this, this accident was caused by a large scale energy explosion from the Devil's Gate. All life in a thousand miles around the Devil's Gate has been exterminated, but we still haven't investigated the reason why."
"Un, understood. You can leave first."
Chu Tian guessed that it was the Devil's Gate and without saying anything else, his eyes turned white. A powerful spatial energy spewed out and surrounded the surrounding six emperors, causing everyone to teleport outside the Devil's Gate area.
"President Chu Tian's strength has greatly increased again!"
"That's right, that's right, there are few people on the continent that can match this spatial technique."
Chu Tian said with knit brows, "Now is not the time to worry about this, look in front of us!"
Everyone looked forward and they were all stunned. It was just a field of black. The ground seemed like it had been crystallized and from the mountain peak to the ground, it had all turned into black crystals. These crystals were like ice releasing cold air as they kept releasing black steam, giving people a very strange feeling.
The Netherworld Sea's Nether King said in a deep voice, "A power that can crystallize everything in a thousand miles, this already surpasses our limit. Accurately speaking, it surpasses the limit of this world. This matter definitely is not simple."
"Spatial Eye!"
Chu Tian used a special technique, his eyes could see any angle in space. He could see the Devil's Gate Ruins letting out light from afar and the Devil's Gate all around the Purgatory World were in the same situation. There was black energy rising from them that finally fell into the center, where there was a giant vortex swirling.
"That's right, it's an Abyss Gate!" Chu Tian stopped looking and gave a sigh, "If the Devil's Gates in the Purgatory World was working again, for example if there was an incomparably giant array on them and they sucked in enough energy from the Abyss, the tunnel to another plane would open and outside lifeforms could break through it."
Time and space were twisting.
From the whirlpool of twisted shadows, a kind of evil power kept seeping out.
That's right, the reason was this.
Chu Tian looked at the large array on the Devil's Gate and felt this situation was very bad. This was because the feeling coming from the eye of the array was an evil Abyss aura. With this kind of aura present, there was only one problem and that was the Abyss Gate was going to open soon.
The Wild Beast Emperor couldn't understand, "What are you saying? What is going on here?"
"You're saying….." The Nether King had a deep base of knowledge. His body trembled slightly, this was a very human action, "This energy is coming through the center to create a planar passage?"
Chu Tian said with a nod, "This thought is right."
The Burning Heaven Emperor's eyes popped out, "You're saying that through this door, we can go to other worlds?"
This thought was too optimistic. Chu Tian remembered the history of the continent and he remembered that when the Abyss Gate opened, humans had already developed Source Energy Technology for seven-eight thousand years. They had tens of thousands of warships and various weapons that were thousands of times more advanced.
He was in a rush to open the Abyss Gate, but he shouldn't have been this rushed. This was clearly not a normal situation. Could it be that when he destroyed the Devil's Gate Ruins' foundation last time, it caused the Abyss to come to the continent in advance?
Chu Tian was very clear on how terrifying of a world the Abyss World was.
If the continent were to explore the Abyss in their current state, they would be destroyed in an instant!
Chu Tian needed at least twenty years to develop before he had the confidence to fight the Abyss. If the Abyss Gate was opened beforehand, the continent would meet its doom.
"This situation is even more serious than we imagined!" Chu Tian looked at the six emperors around him and said, "We can't do anything with just the six of us, we need to gather everyone past the 6th Heaven Domain Layer and come here together!"
"Everyone?"
"That's right, everyone! The more the better!"
Chu Tian's only happiness was finding this in time. If they waited another few days and the Abyss Gate opened a slit, the result would be completely different. This continent's civilization and countries didn't seem weak, but if they went into the Abyss, they couldn't even last a few years.
These people didn't know how terrifying it was for this planar passage to open.
Which one of these emperors wasn't a genius among geniuses? But why did everyone's cultivation stagnate at the peak 9th Heaven Domain Layer and they couldn't break through? That was because there were laws restraining the strongest powers. Otherwise once someone broke through the Heaven Domain Realm, how could there be peace in this world? Any person could use this incredible power.
Chu Tian knew the value of this planar passage, but the consequences outweighed the value. If they opened the passage now, it was no different from walking the path of death.
Chu Tian didn't want the foundation he worked hard to build to be broken in a single night!
Chapter 655: Planar Gate
Chu Tian's influence on the continent was unparalleled right now, therefore once Chu Tian sent his message, all the countries had to place importance to it. The nineteen emperors all came to Darkness City and other than these nineteen emperors, there were also one hundred and twenty peak experts above the 6th Heaven Domain Layer.
It was the first time for most of these people coming to the Purgatory World, therefore they were shocked by what they saw. They were especially shocked after they felt the evil aura that filled the air. This dark energy was powerful enough to crystallize an area of a thousand miles, this was a disaster that nothing on the current continent could compare to.
"This problem is very serious, it is not something individual power can solve."
"Remember, this matter is not small, it is related to the life and death of the entire continent. So, this time, we have to work together."
Chu Tian spoke to everyone as the Miracle Federation's president, but everyone was confused by this matter. An emperor couldn't help asking, "What is going on here?? Can you explain it?"
Chu Tian directly used Darkness City's Smart Brain to let the Smart Brain project the images taken from an unmanned drone. Everyone could clearly see that the area surveyed by the unmanned drone was a large piece of black crystal, including many places sticking out. There was a dark volcano that was spewing out a dark as ink energy liquid out and this energy was being pulled to the center of this area.
These people were not normal people.
Everyone could see that these volcanoes spewing dark liquid was continuously compressing power into a single point, creating space and time fluctuations in this area. There was an unheard of super giant array that was floating over the Purgatory World and this phenomenon couldn't be man made.
"The simple explanation is that our world is being opened." Chu Tian pointed at the image and said, "These volcanoes spewing dark energy are actually the Purgatory World's Devil's Gate Ruins. The so called Devil's Gate Ruins can be explained as planar holes and most of these planar holes are sealed tight. In certain situations, these planar holes can be used again."
"A plane being opened from the outside is very hard to do, but it's relatively easy to open it from within. The current situation is that creatures from another world have discovered our existence and the existence of these holes, therefore they are using the Devil's Gate to release energy from the Purgatory World. Finally this energy is gathered in this world and it will gradually form a Planar Gate."
This was everyone's first time hearing this.
There was someone who asked, "What will happen if this Planar Gate is opened?"
Chu Tian replied, "Each world has their gate to the outside world and once a world is open, one can directly enter it. But once a world is open, there are two meanings to it. One is colonizing a world and one is being colonized. If our continent could become strong enough and took the initiative to open doors to other planes, then can colonize other worlds. But the problem now is that the continent is far from being developed enough to open other planes, so once our world is opened, we will be colonized."
When this was said.
No one's expression didn't change.
Chu Tian continued, "Everyone, don't think that I'm just saying things to frighten people. When planes are sealed, there is an upper limit in strength, just like how it is impossible for there to be an expert above the Heaven Domain Realm on the continent. Once a plane is open, the spiritual energy from outside the world will swell in and the upper limit in power of the continent will break. But the Abyss World is a plane that hasn't had an upper limit for tens of thousands of years, so the experts of our world are nothing more than normal people in their eyes."
But the continent's normal development path, it would be at least ten thousand years before they were qualified to open their plane because technology would have reached its peak in ten thousand years. The continent had prepared millions of warships, so once they opened their plane, they quickly began invading other planes on the Abyss Battlefield.
What situation was the current continent in?
The continent had less than a hundred warships!
These warships were the most basic level warships made by Miracle Commerce. The low level warships of the continent were completely different from the warships of other planes, it could be said that one hundred low level warships from the continent couldn't even compare to a single low level warship of another plane. With the continent's current level, it couldn't fight on the Abyss Battlefield at all. If they went into the Abyss World now, they would be completely destroyed. The best result would be being turned into slaves by the invaders.
Chu Tian had already explained things clearly and the expressions of everyone had begun to change. There were some people with looks of astonishment that shouted out, "Your meaning is that the Purgatory World explosion is something in the Abyss World making their move?"
"That's right! It's like someone finding a coconut tree, the things they are doing to our world right now is trying to break the coconut to reach the sweet coconut milk. So, if we don't take any action and once they come in, our world will be in danger."
Although everyone could guess this matter was very serious, they never thought it could be this serious. This kind of terrifying energy explosion should have been an unprecedented treasure, but now Chu Tian was telling everyone that this was not a natural disaster, but rather man made. The consequences of this man made disaster was thousands of times worse than a natural disaster!
The dragon elder directly asked, "Just tell us directly, how can we stop this?"
Chu Tian replied, "I am prepared to cut off the energy of the Planar Gate and I will add another array to seal this plane. This matter is not easy to accomplish because the outsider has most likely used the tunnel to secretly send troops into this plane. As long as everyone works together, there is hope in accomplishing this."
The Nether King asked in a hoarse voice, "What are the concrete plans of the operation?"
"This is the reason why I invited you all here. You are all the experts with the highest cultivations on the continent, as long as we all work together, we can definitely take care of this disaster." Chu Tian stood up and pointed at the map, "Not only do we need to stop these Devil's Gates from secretly transporting energy, we need to also seal off the Planar Gate to the Abyss World. Everyone here will be divided into four groups that will approach Devil's Gate from four directions and we'll place the array flags I made around the energy volcanoes of the Devil's Gates to stop the explosion of energy. As long as the energy flow stops, the Abyss Planar Gate will also stop opening. We will use Miracle City's Space Gate to send an army to take care of the demons while the emperors will come with me to the center of the Planar Gate to seal it off!"
Chu Tian went through the details of his plan with everyone.
Everyone nodded at each other.
This matter was not small, after all, it was related to the life and death of the continent. This was protecting the eggs of the nest, so even if they had contradictions with each other, they still had to come together to resist the powerful invaders at this time.
After Chu Tian finished the briefing, he began to mobilize Miracle Commerce's resources. The others did not remain idle, everyone called the experts of their countries and even mandy experts living in seclusion were surprised by this matter. After seven days, the over a hundred 6th Heaven Domain Layer and above experts reached over two hundred. The Purgatory World's Darkness City had basically gathered the peak fighting force of the continent.
"Chu Tian, there's something strange. It's best if you take a look."
Chu Tian was called to Darkness City's temporary command center by Meng Qingwu. He saw that everyone was present and they all had gloomy and serious expressions as they watched the image on the screen. This was captured image of near the Abyss Planar Gate from Miracle Commerce's unmanned drone, they saw the Abyss Planar Gate quickly forming. They saw groups of strange things coming out of the Abyss Planar Gate, quickly reaching thousands in number.
There was a sharp cry.
There was a dragon like being that grabbed Miracle City's unmanned drone and finally with a large sound, the unmanned drone's transmitted image cut off.
Eunice said to Chu Tian with a gloomy face, "What does the president think?"
"The opening of the Abyss Planar Gate is faster than we imagined, these are the vanguards of the forces invading our plane." Chu Tian said with knit brows, "But everyone shouldn't be worried because this planar passage isn't completely opened. The ones that can come through the passage now are not very strong and it is impossible for anything past the Heaven Domain Realm to come through, so we can still deal with them."
"But they will slowly accumulate and our plan will be much harder to implement."
"That's right, we should find a way to take care of the gate as soon as possible."
Everyone already couldn't sit still. Although the vanguard from the Abyss was not strong, it was enough to see that these were invaders with a plan. These fellows definitely will think of a way to deal with Darkness City after coming in. As long as they waited another few days, the gate will connect to the Abyss and terrifying creatures of the Abyss will be able to invade this world.
"Everyone can relax, we are already prepared. Let's start the plan now."
Chu Tian had already prepared their equipment and the elite troops of the various countries had already been gathered at Miracle City's Space Gate. For this battle that they had been gathered for, no one dared to be negligent because once they were defeated by these creatures, their so called empires and everything they owned would be completely swept away.
Chu Tian looked over everyone present and he began dividing the tasks, "We have a total of two hundred and sixty experts in the 6th Heaven Domain Layer and above, so now will we divide into four teams. You will prepare to appear on the four sides of the energy volcano to use the array that I have prepared and remember, you have to seal it at the same time. As long as the energy volcano is successfully sealed, the Abyss Planar Gate will stop growing, but it will not disappear because of this. A few of us will be responsible for killing our way in and sealing it, completely stopping the Abyss invasion!"
"Good!"
"Let's do this!"
Chapter 656: Great Abyss Demon
The Purgatory World was already dark and gloomy, but now that the Devil's Gate had exploded, with large amounts of energy being gathered, it became even more strange and terrifying. Flames spouting out of cracks in the ground were the main source of light in the Purgatory World. Now the flames were being corrupted by the energy that kept swelling up, so the flames that were originally red and yellow now had a strange green colour to them.
In the canyon the Devil's Gate was in, there was now a large energy volcano that swelled out. An endless supply of dark energy like a reverse waterfall were spouting out of the volcano's opening.
Hong, hong, hong!
This ear grating sound was like the stampede of ten thousand beasts.
"This is the energy volcano?"
Lancelot was very shocked by the scene he saw. Even though it was him, he couldn't control his heart palpitations. Just how powerful was the energy being spewed out for it to have this kind of effect? The energy spewed out of the energy volcano could destroy a city in a single second.
How powerful was the energy released over several days? All this being released was enough to cause an earth shattering disaster, but now it was being used to open the Abyss Gate. How terrifying the Abyss was could be seen from this.
"The array flag has been inserted!"
Lancelot looked around. Although the energy volcano was very big and surrounded by dense energy, so it was impossible for them to see each other clearly and it was impossible for them to communicate, they could still use Divine Sense to do things.
Lancelot linked his Divine Sense with the other experts above the 6th Heaven Domain Layer. Everyone was now distributed around the energy volcano and there was a giant array flag in front of each person. These array flags was made from divine and demonic materials.
The essence of the energy volcano was a barrier.
As long as they used a method to suppress it.
Then it wouldn't be of any threat any longer.
With Chu Tian controlling the array flags and all these other peak experts present, there shouldn't be any major problems. After all, they had made this discovery quite early and luckily there was Miracle City's Transport Tower and communication system. Otherwise, even if people found out about this crisis, they wouldn't have made it in time to stop it and could only watch the continent fall to the catastrophe.
"Everyone, please be patient."
"Remember that we need to prepare the other three seals before we can start."
"President Chu Tian said that the four energy volcanoes are linked, therefore they must be sealed together. Otherwise if we only seal one or two, the volcano will only become a bit weaker and the energy will explode from the other three volcanoes. It will make the other three volcanoes stronger, so it is more effective to deal with them like this."
Lancelot used his Divine Sense to transmit his thoughts to everyone, repeating to everyone what Chu Tian said before.
Everyone revealed serious expressions. They were all peak experts of the continent, but they had to submit to Chu Tian now. Chu Tian was indeed the most outstanding talent of the continent in the past ten thousand years and if Chu Tian hadn't offered a solution to this crisis, they really wouldn't have known what to do.
They waited around ten minutes.
Meng Qingwu used the communication device to contact Lancelot and the other three seal sites, "Attention, attention, everyone is ready, so we'll begin the plan now. Ten, nine, eight, seven...two, one! Begin the seal!"
Lancelot suddenly used his Divine Sense, "Activate the array!"
The other experts all gripped their array flags and kept sending in their spirit energy. After these flags were inserted into the ground, a large amount of energy was released and powerful waves came out of the array flag. They saw a spider like web appear on the ground and these lines came together, finally forming a giant array that actually covered the entire volcano.
The volcano energy spout instantly weakened by half.
Several dozen experts above the 6th Heaven Domain Layer were responsible for forming the array and over a hundred Heaven Domain Experts were nearby providing energy. It was hard to imagine how powerful this super giant sealing array was. Countless lines and runes covered the volcano, finally forming a floating source energy array over the volcano mouth, sealing up the spout of the volcano.
They were about to succeed!
Chu Tian and the emperors were standing thirty-forty miles away from the Abyss Gate watching this.
The river of energy surging into the sky quickly weakened and the energy of the Abyss Planar Gate also weakened. When the thick black smoke scattered, everyone could see the creatures near the Abyss Planar Gate.
These creatures were normal demons from the Abyss. Some looked like octopi and some looked like insects, in short they all looked very strange. These creatures clearly had technology and high intelligence because there were several small airships floating over their heads.
Of course.
These airships were different from the ones Miracle Commerce made. Each one was spherical with lengths ranging from ten meters to a hundred meters. The surface looked like it was made of bacteria epidermal and its entire body was slowly wiggling. This did not seem like a man made product, rather it was like a natural creature, but it also released a large amount of Abyss creatures.
These strange things were demons from the Abyss Battlefield?
The Abyss demons had already found the problem and they all released wild roars of rage, all using the language of the Abyss. Those hairy bulby airships began to move at the same time, preparing to attack in all directions. It was clear that they knew the Abyss Gate energy was weakening, so they wanted to think of a way to stop this.
Chu Tian quickly said, "Young miss, it's about time. Open the Space Gate!"
"Alright. The spatial coordinates have been set and the surrounding energy flow has been scattered. The spatial interference is at an acceptable level." Meng Qingwu's voice came from the communication device, "Currently opening the Space Gate."
The Abyss demons were prepared to charge out when they suddenly felt a strong spatial fluctuation. A glowing Space Gate suddenly appeared in their sights.
"Roar, roar!"
These Abyss creatures roared out in anger, as they charged out like a tidal wave. Flames, lightning, balls of darkness, and all kinds of attacks came from this army, flying out like a wild storm. It was clear they wanted to destroy the Space Gate before it could form.
"Protect the Space Gate!"
This matter didn't need Chu Tian to do anything, as ten emperors charged into the air to protect the Space Gate. They all released their source spirits and worked together to form a super giant barrier. Just with the power of these ten people, they blocked the storm of attacks.
The Space Gate gradually took form.
In just another minute or two, it would be fully formed.
The attacks of these Abyss creatures became stronger and those flying machines resembling hairy balls also began moving. A light beam of destruction shot out and created a large fissure on the barrier.
Even with ten emperors, it was hard to block this.
At this time, several flying demons quickly approached. Their mouths were filled with powerful energy and it was clear they wanted to destroy the Space Gate before it could form.
"Slash!!"
An emperor came out at this critical moment, releasing a source spirit that was millions of different swords. The giant sword in his hand was hundreds of meters long and the millions of source spirit swords stuck to it, instantly turning that sword into a rainbow coloured sword. With a single slash, the heaven and earth split, destroying a large group of those monsters.
Another emperor level character came out at this time.
His golden glowing aura was shocking, just like a golden armoured war god coming from the heavens. He carried the might of countless warriors as he slammed into an Abyss airship, shattering it to pieces with his terrifying might.
The Abyss Gate opening was very limited, therefore the creatures that came out were of normal strength. The ones riding the airships were also quite weak. Of course, weak and strong was relative here. They were considered weak in the Abyss, but most of these monsters were actually in the 1st-2nd Heaven Domain Layer. Even those strange airships, they were not inferior to Miracle Commerce's warships.
Finally the Space Gate was formed.
The instant the Miracle City Space Gate was formed, the vanguard that came out was a hundred Miracle City Black Thunder fighters. Following them were two warships and thousands of experts charging out behind that, who were all experts summoned from the kingdoms. Other than that, all kinds of undead, dragons, giant dragons, Titans, Behemoths, and other creatures came out, reaching over ten thousand in a short period of time.
The Abyss army was shocked seeing this.
How could this low level world have this kind of technology?
The armies of the two worlds clashed in the Purgatory World. Although the Abyss army was very strong, they were lacking in terms of quantity and their reinforcements came slowly. In comparison, Miracle City's continuous stream of peak soldiers came out of the Space Gate. Therefore, the Abyss army was quickly suppressed.
Chu Tian used his Divine Sense to communicate to the emperors, "Everyone, let's not waste time. Quickly come with me to seal the Abyss Gate!"
"Alright!"
The emperors flew into the sky and headed to the Abyss Gate.
The Abyss Gate was just a planar passage ripped in space, so it was very simple to close the Abyss Gate. As long as the flow of energy of the Abyss Gate was cut off, it would lose balance and the planar laws would automatically restore the balance, resetting the space and time laws.
"Everyone, work together to attack the Abyss Gate!"
The nineteen emperors released their source spirits at the same time.
This was the strongest joint attack in the ten thousand years of history on the continent, with the attacks flying at the Abyss Gate at almost the same time. If it could hit the Abyss Gate, it would certainly break it. Who would have thought that when everyone desperately attacked the Abyss Gate, there would be a roar of rage that came from it.
Something resembling the tentacle of an octopus quickly extended out of the spatial rip. It was over six hundred meters long and was around forty-fifty meters wide, while being covered in tens of thousands of eyes. It was clearly a part of a terrifying Great Abyss Demon.
Chu Tian's expression changed, "This is bad, run!"
The giant tentacle stood up like a poisonous snake. The dense amount of eyes on it began to light up, as tens of thousands of beams of death shot out in all directions, instantly creating a terrifying web of death in the Purgatory World. A distant mountain was hit by a beam of light and the entire mountain was disintegrated. One could imagine just how powerful these beams of light were.
As long as a being was hit by this beam of light, it had no chance of escaping.
