Liu Xian's third uncle's video was published around nine o'clock in the evening, not at nine o'clock in China, but at local time.
It had only been six hours since, but it had received more than 70 million views, 13 million likes, and 3 million shares on Twitter, one of the world's most popular social media platforms.
There were as many as five million comments, all in different languages.
[ Oh my god, I really hope this news is true.]
[ I'm here because of his fame. I'll like it first and wait for the follow-up.]
[Wow, this guy is awesome. Hahaha, he has made us Chinese proud.]
[I'm very suspicious of the contents of the video. If they had really discovered the kingdom of sea gods, why would they be so kind as to share the coordinates with the world? This is the biggest joke of the century.]
[Will you really disclose the coordinates of the divine Kingdom? ]
[The realm of the gods can not be blasphemed. Your actions are violating the majesty of the gods. May the great god Shiva forgive sinners like you.]
[Will wait for tomorrow's live broadcast. I hope the content of the video is accurate and we can find the victims of the Seidel cruise ship as soon as possible. May Buddha blesses these poor people so they can return home as soon as possible.]
In the captain's bedroom on the fishing ship, Liu Xian and his third uncle sat on the bed, browsing the comments from various countries under the video and the account that was gaining a crazy number of fans. They were so happy they could not stop smiling.
"Third uncle! Third uncle, we have three million fans now! Three million fans now!" Liu Xian was so excited that his face turned red, and he wanted to sing loudly to show his excitement.
His Twitter account had been up for three years, but he only had 700 fans. Now, this account gained three million followers with just one video.
More importantly, the video had only been uploaded a few hours ago! This was only the beginning.
Even if he didn't break through 10 million followers in the future, it wouldn't be a problem for him to increase his followers to seven or eight million. Most people still didn't believe the content of the video. When they realized that the introduction in the video was not fake, there would be another wave of enthusiasm.
What kind of concept were ten million fans? As long as one didn't seek death and wasn't stupid, one could still make a lot of money daily!
Liu Xian kept refreshing the page and looking at the changing number of fans and comments every second. He did not doubt his third uncle's plan and admired it even more.
This was much better than going on an adventure in the divine Kingdom.
Suddenly, a comment came into view, and Liu Xian's smile froze.
[You're a country traitor. Do you want to make it public? Make it public my ass. I've already reported it to the officials. Just wait to come back and eat the set meal.]
This comment made Liu Xian's heart skip a beat, and he felt like he had fallen into a bone-chilling cold.
After the joy, he suddenly realized a problem. The hype of this matter could bring unimaginable benefits, but would it also get unpredictable disasters?
"Third ... Third uncle, look at this."
"Let's ..."
Liu Xian handed the phone to his third uncle and asked nervously in a low voice.
His third uncle glanced at the comments and sneered in disdain, "Idiot! How can you achieve great things if you get scared so easily? "
"Do you know what this place is? It's international waters,"
"No country can take any part of the high seas as its own and exercise jurisdiction over the high seas itself."
"The entrance to the sea god's kingdom is in the open sea. It's either the United States 'or the Southeast Asian countries' seas nearby, and the United States is definitely the strongest force. Do you think our country can develop the wildland without the world knowing?"
"The bigger this matter is, the more countries will pay attention to it, and the more likely it will be for the United States and other forces to monopolize the sea god nation. It's the best for us."
"Do you really think that I, your third uncle, am so old that I can't understand such a small thing?"
Liu Xian scratched his head as he did not understand what was happening.
Thinking of the report in the comment, Liu Xian couldn't help but feel nervous. He whispered, "Then, if we go back in the future, will the officials come after us?"
"Pa!"
Liu Xian's third uncle raised his hand and slapped Liu Xian's face so hard that Liu Xian again.
"Idiot," he cursed angrily, "I said so much, but you still don't understand. This land isn't up to US officials to decide."
"You're already so scared. Do you want to earn money with this bit of ability? "
Third uncle shook his head in disappointment. He was pretty disappointed in Liu Xian's stupidity and courage. He said in a bad mood, "Before the video was published, I had already made a copy of the information and handed it to the country. But do you think they will believe our discovery? This matter isn't as complicated as you think it is. Don't overthink these nonsensical things. Even a trivial matter can scare you like this."
Liu Xian thought carefully and felt that his third uncle's words made sense.
Who would believe this if they didn't see it with their own eyes?
Besides, anyone could come and go in the open waters of the Pacific Ocean. No country could make the decision.
-------------------------------------
It was the third day since Yang Xu had set off with his Army.
On the first day, they set off at dawn and arrived at the Black Rock Town of the azure bird tribe just before nightfall.
This was the safest route to the West Sea outpost, as soldiers often cleared the ferals along the way. There were almost no attacks or dangers. In addition, some pathways ran through the mountains and dense forests, like a winding dragon entrenched in the dark earth, making it easier for the troops of the Great Xu nation to walk.
However, the situation was completely different after leaving Black Stone Town.
It was so dark in the vast wilderness that one couldn't even see their fingers. Towering ancient trees, shrubs, and vines covered almost all areas. Walking in this dense forest full of life, every step was a challenge.
The Army often had no choice but to open a path while advancing carefully.
When the sun had set, the army had only walked twenty to thirty miles in the dense forest.
There were countless horrors and dangers in the wilderness under the cover of the night, and marching in the middle of the night was the way to death. Therefore, when the sun could still be seen, Yang Xu stopped moving forward and ordered the Army to set up camp.
The Army was stationed at the edge of the cliff of the black stone mountains.
The azure bird tribe built a temporary residence on the cliff. The deep night couldn't block their excellent vision. Even in the dark, they could see far away. The high altitude not only gave them a better view but also gave them better mobility.
The Qing Qiu foxes set up tents against the stone walls to ensure they would not be attacked from all sides. They also built a two-meter high fence with wood outside the camp to ensure their safety. Although it was almost ineffective against large ferocious beasts, it could block a considerable amount of trouble.
The merfolk race hid in the cold pond near the cliff since they couldn't leave the rivers and lakes for too long, or their lives would be in danger.
The night was dark as if it was dyed with thick ink, without the slightest light.
Most tents had fallen into darkness, and only Yang Xu's tent still had some light. In terms of size, his tent was not much bigger than an ordinary soldier's. The only difference was that a common soldier's tent had ten people living, while his tent only had him. At most, he would occasionally invite two beautiful women.
Of course, Yang Xu would usually not mess around when they were setting up camp in the depths of the forest.
This was because maintaining exuberant energy and physical strength was the greatest capital for survival.
In the tent, Yang Xu recorded what he saw and heard during the march.
Two enchanting Qing Qiu beauties served him by his side, lighting the lamp, making tea, grinding ink, and giving him a massage.
[When I passed by swallow castle today, I saw the birds chirping happily on the cliff, covering the sky and the sun. ]
[This is a very good sign. It means that no fierce beasts have passed by this place recently.]
After a short pause, Yang Xu frowned and continued to write.
[It's been over half a year since the last beast tide. I don't know when the next beast tide will start. Every time I recalled the tragedy of the beast tide, I would still feel a chill all over my body. That legendary...]
At this moment, a crisp female voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Big brother, I'm Yue 'er. Can I come in?"
Yang Xu stopped what he was doing and looked up at the tent's curtain. His eyes were slightly squinted.
He had a younger sister and a younger brother.
His sister's name was Yang Pan Yue. She had just started University when she came to the wildland, and it had been two years since she graduated.
But it was impossible for her to appear here!
