With the Moon Country's rise to power, the surrounding smaller countries, though resentful, could sense the impending conflict even from the most obtuse individuals.
Don't talk about remaining neutral. When war comes, there's no such thing as neutrality. When the shadow of war looms, those without weapons are often the first to die.
Moreover, given their current geographical location, they either have to serve as a springboard for the Eagle Country to attack the mainland, or they should submit to Divine Land as soon as possible and hand over military power.
Comparing the two, when it really comes to war, we still have to rely on Divine Land.
There's no other way. Serving as Eagle Country is an option, but the Eagle Country is far from the central government. Serving as a lackey in normal times might earn you some qualifications, but if a war breaks out, the army will put more pressure on them. An aircraft carrier with dozens of planes can only bomb cities a few times at most; its logistics are limited after all.
But when the army swept through, they truly left no one alive.
Of course, if the country's top leadership is already prepared to send troops to the Eagle Country at any time, or has already done so, then his stance will naturally be biased.
Therefore, after the Moon Country was incorporated into Divine Land, almost all the other small countries in the surrounding area, such as Luzon and Southern Ming, flocked to apply for incorporation into Divine Land.
Besides the commotion in Asia, the landscape in other parts of Earth Star has also undergone tremendous changes.
The commotion in Asia did not escape the world's notice; other countries far from Divine Land were also fully aware of what was happening.
At this point, it's already too late to hold any meetings or launch any initiatives. Everyone else is acting voluntarily, and even the United Nations can't interfere.
But simply watching Divine Land continuously annex surrounding smaller countries without doing anything is certainly not what the other powerful nations want. If they just stand by and watch, Divine Land's territory will soon extend all the way to Europe.
Since we can't intervene in this area, the only option is for everyone to work together to become stronger!
If you annex, I will annex; if you expand your territory, I will expand mine. If everyone becomes stronger at the same time, the gap between countries won't become too large.
Therefore, given the current situation, other powerful nations quickly followed suit.
The Eagle Country has begun to target its old neighbors. Although the Eagle Country is the only dominant power in North America, there are other countries, large and small. Now, spurred on by Divine Land, the Eagle Country has also begun to target the smaller countries around it.
Compared to the speed of Divine Land's unification, the speed of the Eagle Country is no slower. After all, it is the Eagle Country, and many people would do anything to go there. Even with the Great Wall erected on the border, there are still many undocumented vagrants crossing the border every day. Now, the Eagle Country has changed its behavior and has begun to expand outwards. Naturally, several small countries around it have defected and surrendered.
However, the situation is less ideal for Russia and other Europe countries, which are also world powers.
Russia wanted to expand, but Ukraine Country, which had been at war with Russia for many years, was naturally unwilling to do so. Ukraine firmly blocked Russia's lower left side, preventing Russia from reaching out.
The many small countries that had split off from the Great Soviet Union also had no intention of rejoining. After all, many of these countries had developed quite well with the support of Divine Land, and compared to their previous hardships, they were now enjoying themselves and had no desire to return to their homeland.
There are too many small countries in Europe, and with the loose European Union in place, they can't directly annex each other, leaving many countries feeling quite uncomfortable.
During this period, many traditional " Ghost Valley " school successors emerged, forming alliances and maneuvering among various countries in the hope of using this opportunity to further enhance the power of the European Union, and even better if they could gain military control.
When Li Xingkong came back to his senses from studying space-related knowledge, nearly half a month had passed.
When Li Xingkong online to catch up on what had happened in the past two weeks, he discovered that the whole world had changed dramatically in just a few days.
What do you mean by "Divine Land's territory has expanded by nearly one-third"? And where did all those small Southeast Asia countries go on the new map, while Divine Land has more than a dozen new provinces?
Looking at the world, other countries have also experienced significant territorial changes. In fact, according to official Divine Land statistics, the original number of more than 200 countries has dwindled to less than 100 in just a few days. Most of these countries and regions have either merged or formed alliances, making them appear as a single entity on the map.
Li Xingkong scratched the back of his head, wondering what was going on. He hadn't even gone into seclusion, so how could things have turned out like this in just a few days?
After examining the situation closely, Li Xingkong finally understood the reason: a simple foreign war Divine Land had prematurely triggered a major shift in the global landscape.
It's fair to say that this incident, even if not the trigger, was certainly one of the starting points.
Well, who knows, I might even see the unification of the entire Earth Star before my next seclusion.
It can only be said that after everything was in place and Divine Land began to take action, it felt as if the entire Earth Star and events on Earth were on fast-forward, with the whole world moving towards unification.
Putting everything else aside, given the current situation, I'm afraid that in just a few days, the whole world will be repeating the fate of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Having witnessed the changes in the world, Li Xingkong didn't delve into the details. After all, this was Divine Land's external conquest, and if they needed him, they would naturally come to him. Since they hadn't come to Li Xingkong, it meant that everything was under control.
Given this, Li Xingkong naturally wouldn't actively seek out tasks, lest he disrupt the established plan.
He has made considerable progress in his study of spatial knowledge, and he has basically mastered the casting method of the first type of Space Bag.
Now that the materials are in place, he can begin forging his first Space Bag.
There's only one minor issue that requires a little help: when creating the Space Bag, connecting the two locations requires a large amount of energy, which might not be enough to sustain with just one's own Magic Power.
The others are only at the Qi Refining stage, so they would need quite a few people to help them.
Therefore, Li Xingkong came up with the idea of using a nuclear reactor. He planned to borrow an existing nuclear reactor in Divine Land and use nuclear energy to power his Space Bag.
Nuclear energy is not essentially radioactive elements, heavy metals, or Fallout; these are all common misconceptions we have about nuclear energy.
In the eyes of spiritual practitioners, the key to nuclear energy lies in its application of energy. Its method of converting matter into energy is a step further than simply boiling water, and this more efficient energy conversion method is the key to nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy is an energy source that should only be used by cultivators at the Golden Core Stage. However, with the advancement of technology today, even ordinary people can harness it. Although they all rely on tools and equipment, the ability to use it is itself a manifestation of technology.
