Although Li Xingkong had almost finished all the preparations before his seclusion, he couldn't start refining the Earth Vein right away.
After all, he came back to Earth Star with a mission.
On the surface, he is still the representative of the Xi People, but he has been silent since arriving on Earth Star, which must be suspicious. So even if it's just for show, Li Xingkong still has to participate in some actions that require his presence according to the schedule.
Although Li Xingkong stayed at home for a few days, the hype surrounding aliens hadn't died down yet. As the first lunar person to appear on Earth Star, countless people were watching his every move.
His schedule is not long; he just holds meetings every few days, makes a brief appearance, or goes to tourist attractions across Divine Land to show his face briefly. But the amount of attention he attracts is immense. Every time Li Xingkong appears, countless cameras and interviewers follow him.
There were many security personnel, but it was still difficult to handle such an enthusiastic crowd. Fortunately, Li Xingkong was able to activate a gravity field to slightly deter these excited people; otherwise, who knows how many stampedes would have occurred.
Fortunately, this scene started quickly and ended quickly.
As planned and following the itinerary, after about a week, the visitors from the Xi People were finally going back to the moon.
Li Xingkong naturally wouldn't go back to the moon like that. This so-called return was just a clever trick to escape. Apart from the supplies for daily travel, there was nothing else on the lunar spaceship.
As for Li Xingkong, he only made a brief appearance in front of the spaceship, and then, through clever camera work, quietly moved behind the scenes.
Regardless of whether it's domestic or foreign media, in what they saw, Li Xingkong, the patriarch of the Xi People, had successfully boarded a spaceship and returned to the moon.
Although many small countries, even those like the Eagle Country, have tried to privately communicate with Li Xingkong and Tang Cheng, attempting to introduce the two aliens to their countries, it would be even better if they could establish contact with these aliens.
However, Li Xingkong's whereabouts are unpredictable to them. Apart from appearing at the scene when he does, he disappears immediately after the event ends. Many people have tried a lot of time and effort but have never been able to see him.
Although Tang Cheng didn't have as much freedom of movement as Li Xingkong, he didn't have much contact with these people either. After all, they were either journalists or diplomats from various countries, and they were all extremely knowledgeable in linguistics.
Although Tang Cheng is considered an elite figure, he is clearly inexperienced in these areas. The more he says, the more mistakes he makes. Rather than revealing too much and causing loopholes in the plan, it would be better to simply disappear.
So he came up with a very simple solution: he referred all the people who came to him privately to the spokesperson on the Divine Land side.
The pretext they used to explain this was that they had gained some understanding of the political landscape of Earth Star in the past few days and discovered that most countries did not recognize the legitimacy of their countries on the Moon. Therefore, until they changed their tune, as the original inhabitants of the Moon, they also did not recognize the legitimacy of any other country besides Divine Land.
While he might not know other things, Tang Cheng did know a little bit of the technique of using one's own methods against another.
In this way, from a simple situational perspective, Divine Land becomes the only link between other countries and the moon.
Although only Divine Land previously possessed the technology to land on the moon, and was the sole link between Earth and the moon, the current situation is simply that in addition to technological capabilities, political and cultural aspects have also been added.
Although Tang Cheng's irresponsible behavior put diplomatic pressure on Divine Land, this was part of the plan, after all, they were the professionals when it came to diplomacy.
This little bit of pressure is nothing. With the support of national strength, this battle is destined to be not too difficult.
Can anything be more difficult than the period before Divine Land's development? Today's diplomatic department came from that era, and the situation now is much better than it was back then.
National strength is the key to diplomacy.
Force is the prerequisite for ensuring peace.
While the conflicts of interest and positions among these countries have been hotly debated, to be honest, Li Xingkong wasn't particularly interested in these matters. If he hadn't been involved in this affair, he probably still wouldn't be able to figure them out.
In his view, the statement that science and technology are the primary productive forces is very apt. No matter what the world order is, what ultimately determines the direction of the world order is military power, which in today's society is science and technology.
No matter how eloquent one is in diplomacy, if one's technology and military strength are insufficient, all the eloquence is useless. After all, what cannot be obtained on the battlefield cannot be obtained at the negotiating table.
The current pretense and cajoling with these countries is merely because Divine Land still needs time to absorb the cultivation knowledge it has brought.
During this digestion period, the effects of cultivation on the Divine Land cannot be quickly manifested, so it is still necessary to work with them for a while.
Once the path of cultivation is fully opened, the distinction between immortals and mortals will truly be clear. Forget about getting along with them; just being able to glance at them at that point would be considered a great favor.
This applies to relations between nations, and it also applies to individuals.
Instead of trying to please everyone and flattering others, it's better to hone and improve your own abilities; competence is the only true measure of success. Besides, pleasing others is also a form of linguistic skill, which requires long-term practice and exceptional comprehension.
Once you improve your own abilities, people will naturally come to you, in any area. If you're not good at talking, then there will naturally be people who are good at it who will take the initiative to flirt with you. It's that simple.
An outstanding person is never short of friends.
For Li Xingkong himself, the only thing he needs to focus on is his own strength.
As long as one's level of understanding remains far ahead, neither people nor things will have any impact on him.
After all, judging from his current level of cultivation, the difference between each major realm is simply enormous.
In battles within the same realm, the first thing to consider is knowledge and experience, followed by magical abilities and combat skills, and finally physical strength and melee combat.
So after this week's lunar visit mission ended, Li Xingkong's only thought was that this thing was really too tiring.
Li Xingkong finally breathed a sigh of relief as the spaceship flew off Earth Star and headed for the Moon.
He really had no interest in such things.
Next time, I should try to learn a spell to help me with these things.
For example, you could use a clone technique; if there are any complicated activities like this, you can just create a clone to do them.
