Entering the Interstellar Age

Back when he was in the outer space of the Solar System, Tang Ping had already quietly deployed several of his clones. At this moment, they were already in the process of setting up that Supreme Treasure-grade galaxy defense system.

This Supreme Treasure-grade defense system was, aside from the Chaos Sword Formation, the piece of equipment Tang Ping had spent the most time on while at Craftsman God Planet.

Once he finished the installation, the Solar System wouldn't be impenetrable, but at the very least, common petty thieves wouldn't be able to get within a hair's breadth of it. To be more precise, below the Venerable level, it would be completely impossible for anyone to enter the Solar System without Tang Ping's permission.

Even for those at the Venerable level, because Earth was always guarded by Tang Ping's original body and several clones, the defense system could fully block attacks from average Venerables under his control. Of course, it couldn't handle high-level Venerables yet, but Tang Ping was also constantly improving; by the time such a day arrived, he would surely have already prepared countermeasures.

The target of this defense system wasn't actually Venerables. Tang Ping had suddenly recalled that in the original story, the Nolanshan Family's adventure ship would break into this star system through a newly formed wormhole in less than a year.

Now that Tang Ping was at the World Lord level, he naturally didn't feel that the Nolanshan Family could stir up any trouble. He didn't even need this galaxy defense system he was currently installing; the planet defense system he, Luo Feng, and the others had bought on their first trip to Dragon-Qiu Star would have been enough to handle that first wave of Star Level small-fry.

The main reason for installing this galaxy defense system was that Tang Ping felt that since the new wormhole had appeared, it was time for the people of Earth to prepare to enter the interstellar era.

Earth was, after all, too small, with a limited population capacity. Furthermore, Tang Ping had long since grown tired of the capitalist rulers in other countries who had no real ability and only knew how to bicker all day long. This was the perfect opportunity to move them all off Earth.

Of course, Tang Ping didn't need to force them. He was extremely wealthy now, and he planned to buy several star systems in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Area, allocating one to each country. He didn't believe those people wouldn't be envious and tempted; when the time came, they would surely be scrambling over themselves to move.

As for Earth, it would naturally serve as the base camp for the Huaxia people. The Milky Way Galaxy and the surrounding star systems would also all be purchased to serve as the core region for Huaxia's future development.

Once they truly entered the interstellar era and integrated with cosmic civilization, the issue of galaxy defense would certainly need to be considered, especially since the average martial arts level of the Huaxia people was still too low—one could even say it was pitifully weak.

Encountering even the lowest-level interstellar pirate organization would be a catastrophic disaster for them.

Of course, Tang Ping could handle these lowest-level threats by simply buying some higher-end galaxy defense systems in the universe. But what if the invaders were World Lord-level or even Immortal-level powerhouses? These mass-produced defense systems in the universe wouldn't be able to cope with that.

Although Tang Ping's original body was on Earth, and he had several clones besides, he could fully handle these threats. But Tang Ping was lazy; if he could refine a Supreme Treasure-grade defense system to solve the vast majority of problems, why wouldn't he?

His clones spent several days finally completing the installation of the entire galaxy defense system.

At the same time, the clone Tang Ping had specifically left behind on an administrative planet in the Black Dragon Mountain Star Area while returning home had already finished purchasing the star systems, the large transport ships needed for mass migration, and various other supplies. It was already on its way back.

Thinking that guiding people from other countries to migrate voluntarily would also take time, Tang Ping felt he could now initiate a global conference to announce Earth's entry into the interstellar era.

It was the dead of night in Huaxia's Kyoto Base City.

A middle-aged man in casual clothes was sitting leisurely on his sofa, watching TV with his family, when his phone suddenly rang.

"Hmm?" The middle-aged man picked up his phone and couldn't help but be startled—it was Tang Ping! He was the person specifically arranged by Huaxia to maintain contact with Tang Ping and his brothers, though none of them had ever called this number before today.

"Hello, Mr. Tang Ping." The middle-aged man answered the phone and quickly walked into an adjacent room.

"Mr. Wang, at ten o'clock in the morning Huaxia time, three days from now, I will summon the leaders of all countries and the high-level officials of every base city to Hong City to hold an important meeting concerning all of humanity on Earth," Tang Ping said directly.

Mr. Wang was stunned. A meeting? With all countries and high-level officials from every base city attending?

"What does Tang Ping mean by this? Why hold such a massive high-level summit?" Although Mr. Wang was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask for clarification.

Who among those with any access to information globally didn't know that Tang Ping and his brothers were the undisputed, absolute peak powerhouses of Earth? All the other people on Earth combined couldn't compare to any one of them.

Earth, Huaxia, South China Base City, Hong City, Oriental Residential District.

However, this Oriental Residential District was different from before. Not only was it ten times larger, but most importantly, the core area of the district was home to the most powerful people on the planet.

Six towering, beautiful castles, each nearly a hundred meters high and covering several square kilometers, were situated in this core area.

These six castles had different styles: one in the style of a legendary elven castle, one like an ancient Huaxia palace, one with a sci-fi aesthetic, and others with rugged, grand designs...

These six castles were portable manor-castles that Tang Ping and his brothers had bought from the universe, one for each family.

Without alerting anyone, Tang Ping entered his castle silently and reunited with his original body, which was lying on the bed, having a great time playing games in the Virtual Universe.

Three days later, the Oriental Residential District became the center of the entire Earth. Security personnel had long since heavily guarded the entire area, and the surrounding streets had been placed under martial law.

Fighter jets from various countries and base cities around the world landed on the lawns of the Oriental Residential District, as today was the important meeting summoned by Earth's strongest, 'Tang Ping'.

Because Tang Ping and his brothers didn't like too much noise, there were usually very few people in their castle. The large number of staff responsible for receiving guests for this meeting had been specifically arranged by Huaxia.

In the banquet hall on the first floor of the main castle building, the lights were brilliant.

Beside the oversized round table stood many leaders of various factions and base cities, engaged in enthusiastic conversation. There were five major powers on Earth, plus twenty-three independent base cities.

These independent base cities were mainly from Asia, South America, and Africa, with people of different skin colors chatting with one another.
