After hearing Qing Meng's words, Jiang Luoshui was completely stunned.
She hadn't met Ning Chuan many times, but she was very good at judging people, and she had also specifically researched Ning Chuan in order to make his acquaintance.
Jiang Luoshui was pretty sure that Ning Chuan didn't care about outside opinions and didn't care about losing face.
But given this situation, why release this seemingly outlandish tax law at this critical juncture? Surely they don't actually believe it can be successfully implemented...?
What exactly is he trying to do?!
Jiang Luoshui's heart was in turmoil. She, who was always known for her calm and decisiveness, found it difficult to remain calm!
At the same time.
Jiang Luoshui was not the only one whose life was shaken by this tax law.
It should be noted that many places in the Universe are paying attention to Martial Star, eager to witness the clash between the Martial Star King and the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom. Therefore, when the Federation issued its statement, it spread like a raging storm, causing a huge sensation!
"Well, after reading Ning Chuan's ' Comprehensive Tax on Descenders,' capitalists will all radiate a golden light of morality; they'll truly be great philanthropists!"
Some people couldn't help but joke that they felt their values were being severely shaken!
"That's outrageous! That air tax is a bit ridiculous, but for a genius who has arrived, seclusion for many years is not a problem!"
"Hehe, you didn't finish reading, did you? Article 193, Section 5 of the Tax Law stipulates that when a descendant enters Martial Star, it will cause air compression and atmospheric turbulence. Therefore, an atmospheric turbulence tax needs to be paid, and the fee is the same as the air tax in Section 1!"
One more thing.
Concealing oneself in the void is useless; the sixth rule below stipulates that stealth, teleportation, and creating spatial cracks can easily cause instability in the Martial Star's space, requiring the payment of a space destruction tax, which is collected per instance!
"This... is truly eye-opening! I've only ever heard of plucking feathers from a passing goose, but today I've discovered that someone can actually leave not a single feather behind!"
Various opinions emerged one after another, generating immense buzz and sweeping across numerous Divine Kingdom and royal courts.
However, compared to the content of the tax law, many more people, like Jiang Luoshui, were more concerned about why Ning Chuan had promulgated such a tax law that was practically useless!
No one believed Ning Chuan could successfully execute the plan.
Even without the siege of the Martial Extermination Army, how would they collect taxes?!
Ning Chuan is the only powerful figure among the Martial Star!
Ultimately, after countless discussions, analyses, and deconstructions, several relatively reliable conclusions were reached and quickly spread.
Firstly, it's an outlet for dissatisfaction with the behavior of Yin Zhu.
After all, the era of the revival of the Martial Star belongs to the competition among the younger generation, vying for the strongest and the most powerful. For Yin Zhu, a mere True God, to personally confront Ning Chuan is simply too much of a bullying tactic!
To put it bluntly, they're shameless!
The competition in the Universe is indeed brutal, and the Law of the jungle prevails, but it is not without rules. Yin Zhu's behavior has absolutely crossed the line!
However, Martial Star has declined and its overall strength is weak, making it unable to counterattack.
Secondly, it serves as a warning, using various tax laws to intimidate the Martial Extermination Army and prevent them from going too far!
Ning Chuan is equally capable of using any means necessary!
Thirdly...
The corresponding conclusions received a warm response and were widely recognized.
On the other side, the Martial Extermination Army, having completed their intensive training, almost unanimously agreed upon hearing the news. This was largely in line with their assumptions, and they did not believe that Ning Chuan truly intended to collect taxes.
"Even on the verge of death, you dare to mock the king? You've got some nerve!"
One of the divine sons sneered. He had long been displeased with Ning Chuan's actions, and now that the king was using the full power of the nation to suppress Ning Chuan, it suited his wishes perfectly!
"I think this is Ning Chuan knowing his days are numbered, and wanting to unleash one last brilliant moment!"
"The reason doesn't matter, only life or death are at stake!"
"The king spared no expense, even mobilizing the royal family's resources. As long as they haven't reached the Nebula Realm, even prodigies nurtured by a hegemonic power will perish if they encounter our expeditionary force. What is a king from a fallen land compared to that!"
Nie Yang allowed the Martial Extermination Army to rest for a day, adjust their state, and enhance their killing intent for battle.
The Federation tax law has a powerful effect, making the atmosphere in the military extremely tense, as if it only needs a spark to completely ignite it!
The day passed quickly.
The following day, July 7th.
The Martial Star Mars in the Northern Hemisphere is stirring with activity!
At dawn, before the sky had even brightened, Ning Chuan, who was monitoring the entire world through his Insight Divine Eye, noticed that the entrances to many secret realms were flashing, and figures were appearing one after another. Most of them were familiar faces, the divine sons and holy daughters who had already descended upon Martial Star.
In addition, there are many unfamiliar beings, mainly composed of new divine sons and daughters and the Divine Guardian Guard of the Yin Family.
The Martial Extermination Army has arrived!
They proceeded discreetly and cautiously, all moving stealthily and secretly meeting up before heading towards the Federation.
However, for Ning Chuan, it couldn't be clearer.
"A rare cool day is actually quite suitable for killing someone!"
A faint murmur rang out, but before it faded, Ning Chuan's figure had already disappeared.
He single-handedly went to confront an army of ten thousand!
Knowing the approximate time of the arrival, Ning Chuan had already withdrawn his ten Dao Art and would go all out.
Midway through, when Ning Chuan confirmed that the Martial Extermination Army could not escape, he opened his communicator, contacted Jiang Luoshui, and calmly said, " The Martial Extermination Army has arrived on Martial Star. I will begin my first live broadcast."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Luoshui secretly held her breath, somewhat shocked. She hadn't expected Qing Meng to be right!
Ning Chuan is incredibly audacious; he's going to do a live broadcast that very day!
This is the most dangerous moment!
"No problem, all the preparations have been completed!" Jiang Luoshui, with her exceptional composure, showed no outward emotion. Seeking Ning Chuan's opinion, she said, "How about using a desperate escape as a selling point? I conducted a survey beforehand, and many beings want to witness it..."
"It's not an escape!"
Ning Chuan shook his head, interrupting him directly, and pointed out, "I will face the Martial Extermination Army head-on. The general location of the battle will be outside the Federation's border."
"Facing the Martial Extermination Army?!"
Jiang Luoshui felt a chill run down her spine, as if struck by lightning, and couldn't help but shudder!
This was an answer she never expected!
"Call!"
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Luoshui forced herself to regain her composure and tried to persuade him, saying, "Brother Ning, I know you obtained the God-Slaying Tower from the Hidden Killing Tower, but the Martial Extermination Army also carries many deadly weapons, many of which come from the Yin Family's resources. They can at least offset the power of the God-Slaying Tower!"
The implication is that, even in the best-case scenario, Ning Chuan would be surrounded and killed by tens of thousands of descending geniuses!
I'm confident.
Ning Chuan didn't offer much explanation; after giving a few instructions, he hung up the call.
That little pavilion in the mountains.
Watching the tall figure disappear before her eyes, Jiang Luoshui's heart was filled with turmoil. She was stunned and deeply shocked by Ning Chuan's words and actions.
However, she still followed Ning Chuan's instructions and began to build momentum.
Soon, countless accounts following Ning Chuan received notifications that the broadcast was about to begin.
Users who did not follow the account received the push notification widely.
Ning Chuan's live stream appeared in the most prominent recommendation position on the live streaming platform.
The main and subtitles of the live stream were all written by Jiang Luoshui herself, which attracted attention.
" The True God is certain to kill, the army is pressing in! The Martial Star King, bearing the weight of all living beings, vows to fight to the death and launch a desperate counterattack!"
This is the main title.
Below is a subtitle similar to a brief introduction.
" True God were to mobilize the entire nation to kill you, and force countless members of your own race to fight to the death, what would you do?"
To remain aloof and uninvolved?
Or perhaps, we must bear the burden of all living beings!
The glory of the past has vanished like smoke, and the Martial Star has been dormant for three billion years. The peerless king who has been waiting has emerged, unafraid of the power of the True God, and has chosen to defy the heavens with his own blood and bones!
Let us compose a battle song that reflects the long river of history!
We are determined to restore our former glory!!!
Jiang Luoshui employed a rather pessimistic writing style.
On the one hand, she genuinely couldn't figure out how Ning Chuan would deal with the encirclement and attack by the Martial Extermination Army, so she held back, wanting to leave Ning Chuan some room for maneuver.
On the other hand, for the sake of generating buzz, tragic characters are often more appealing.
That is indeed the case.
Even before Ning Chuan has premiered, the information revealed by just the two titles has already caused a sensation throughout the Universe, leaving all living beings in every place in awe!
