Earth's Changes and Misgivings

Zhang Wei watched as a steady stream of Hua Country arrived via Spatial Teleportation.

When the agreed time arrived, he surveyed the entire scene, confirming that all ten thousand compatriots had assembled, and calmly began to speak:

"Now that everyone is here, let's set off and return to Earth."

As soon as he finished speaking, he activated the Gate of Transmigration, and a magnificent spatial gate appeared out of thin air.

As its cultivation level continues to improve, the Gate of Transmigration has undergone multiple upgrades, continuously increasing its carrying capacity. Now, it can accommodate tens of thousands of people at a time.

Zhang Wei was the first to step into the portal, followed closely by the others.

A moment later, the group stepped out of the spatial portal, and Zhang Wei's powerful Divine Sense instantly reached out, scanning the entire Earth.

He saw a polarized landscape on Earth.

Within the territory of the Hua Country shrouded by the Nine Provinces Barrier, only the urban areas stand with rows of high-rise buildings; the rest of the region is mostly comprised of independent courtyards, where vegetation grows ever more lush.

Spirit rice, spirit vegetables, and spirit medicine are planted in the fields, and spirit fruit trees cover the mountains.

The former northwestern desert no longer exists; instead, it is now planted with a large number of spiritual fruit trees.

Within Hua Country, excluding children, everyone's cultivation level has basically reached the Dao Image Realm (Nascent Soul Realm) or above.

The situation is completely different in the regions outside the Nine Provinces Barrier.

The population in various places has exploded without restraint, the rich continue to act arrogantly and domineeringly, and the poor go hungry.

Vegetation has been severely damaged, the ecosystem continues to deteriorate, and extreme weather events such as droughts and torrential rains occur frequently.

Mountains of garbage have accumulated in the oceans, severely damaging the Earth's ecosystem.

In its early years, Huaxia participated in various international affairs.

However, these countries spend their days shirking responsibility and engaging in double standards, repeatedly attempting to scheme against Hua Country.

They frequently attempt to force Hua Country to provide financial assistance, treating Hua Country as an object to be exploited at will.

Having seen through the true colors of all parties, Hua Country ceased its futile maneuvering, withdrew from various international organizations, and focused its efforts on interstellar exploration and advancing its interstellar migration plan.

Since Hua Country ceased to manage international affairs, major international organizations have been embroiled in endless wrangling and buck-passing, with little concrete progress made.

Many good policies that would benefit the long term have been rejected simply because they touched on the interests of some countries, rendering various international organizations ineffective.

Many countries, seeing Hua Country's vigorous encouragement of childbirth and promotion of interstellar migration, have rushed to follow suit, naively believing that as long as they continue to expand their population, they can catch up with the pace of Hua Country's development.

The unbridled population growth has already overburdened the Earth, leading to more frequent extreme weather events each year.

Although the territory of Hua Country was also affected, it was protected by the Nine Provinces Barrier and its inhabitants were all cultivators who could regulate the weather, so the impact was minimal.

However, the regions outside of Hua Country suffered greatly, with natural disasters frequently causing numerous casualties.

Despite the continued deterioration of the environment, countries have failed to take heed.

To obtain food resources, they continue to cut down forests and cultivate farmland, further exacerbating ecological collapse.

The Earth's ecosystem is on the verge of complete collapse, yet countries continue to act willfully and refuse to repent.

They naively believed that Hua Country would not stand idly by and would eventually step in to help.

Some foreigners have even been clamoring online for Hua Country to provide them with a life-bearing planet so they can immigrate there, hoping to gain wealth without working and live the same life as the Hua Country.

Ironically, the Hua Country public doesn't even see these noisy pronouncements.

Today, Hua Country have long since fully adopted Fairness System social media platforms for communication, completely abandoning Virtual Machine. The noise from the outside world is ultimately just useless empty talk.

At this moment, Zhang Wei probed into space with his Divine Sense and saw spaceships docked in the spaceport above Earth.

Dyson spheres are installed around the Sun, except for the area directly facing the earth, to collect Sun around the clock.

Just as he was about to extend his Divine Sense beyond the Solar System, he discovered that Wang Yang was breaking through the void.

Zhang Wei immediately withdrew his Divine Sense and said with a smile, "Our group has already returned to our country. Should we directly take action to annihilate the Aus Empire?"

Wang Yang waved his hand lightly, calmly declining. "The Aus Empire is not a real threat to us."

Their technological level is far inferior to ours, and they have no cultivation practices. They rely solely on genetic technology to enhance their physical bodies, and are ultimately just A Mortal, powerless to contend with us.

The main reason for summoning you back is to stay behind and guard against any unforeseen events.

With you all here, we can allow the frontline fleet to fight the Aus Empire without restraint.

Zhang Wei looked somewhat helpless. "Why go through all this trouble? With my Martial King cultivation, I could easily destroy the Aus Empire."

We could easily sweep away even the other Type III civilizations in the Milky Way; we could easily control the entire Milky Way.

Wang Yang shook his head slightly, his tone steady. "I know your strength is extraordinary."

However, the rise of a country or a civilization can never rely on the efforts of one person, but on the joint efforts of hundreds of millions of people.

If Huaxia Civilization wants to establish itself in the universe and traverse all the heavens, it must rely on its own strength to overcome numerous difficulties.

The Aus Empire is the first major obstacle we face on our journey into interstellar space; this is a step we must take ourselves.

Furthermore, if you were to forcibly slaughter all Type III civilizations in the Milky Way, it would inevitably cause the deaths and injuries of billions of lives.

Those civilizations did not provoke us, yet they committed such atrocities without cause. They are very likely to have violated the rules of the Fairness System and will ultimately be forcibly unbound from the system.

Although the probability is low, we must not gamble on it.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei's heart skipped a beat, and his expression suddenly became serious.

He suddenly realized that his rampage against alien creatures might indeed be judged by the system as heinous and inhuman.

His current Martial King cultivation level is largely due to the support of the Fairness System.

Without the system's assistance, even with national resources and the Gate of Transmigration to comprehend the Great Dao, he certainly wouldn't have become an immortal yet, let alone Martial King.

You're right, I didn't think it through.

Those Type III civilizations pose no threat to us whatsoever; there's absolutely no need for us to take the risk.

He changed the subject, looking down at the Earth, a worried expression appearing between his brows:

"However, the Earth's environment is currently too degraded; if it is not addressed, the entire planet's ecosystem will completely collapse."

Wang Yang gave a helpless, bitter smile, "Non-Self unwilling to govern the Earth."

With our current capabilities, restoring the Earth's ecosystem is a piece of cake.

But if we intervene to clean up the mess, it will only embolden those countries to act even more recklessly.

We can fix things once or twice, but we can't bail them out a million times and become suckers to be taken advantage of.

This is why we have remained inactive.

If it weren't for the fact that we are both Human Race, and the need to respect the rules of the Fairness System, I would have killed them outright.

Otherwise, having them jumping around in front of me like that is really disgusting.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei also felt a headache coming on.

Although the Fairness System doesn't allow foreigners to bind their accounts, directly killing them isn't a good idea either, as it could violate the Fairness System's rules and lead to the system unbinding them.

"Ugh, these people are truly disgusting. It seems we have no choice but to move our administrative center off Earth."

"Our goal is to control the Milky Way. Earth's remote location makes it no longer suitable as the core foundation of Huaxia Civilization."

Wang Yang gently shook his head and said, "We cannot abandon Earth and migrate outwards; Earth has irreplaceable importance."

Zhang Wei looked puzzled. "Although Earth is the ancestral home of Huaxia Civilization, it is resource-poor, its ecology is severely damaged, and its location is very remote."

"If Huaxia Civilization wants to venture into the universe and roam freely across all realms, this place is simply not suitable to continue serving as the core of its civilization."

"What you said is all correct. Realistically speaking, Earth is indeed not capable of bearing the heavy responsibility of being the center of Huaxia Civilization."

A mysterious smile appeared on Wang Yang's face. "However, after analysis and assessment by the national think tank, Huaxia Civilization should still take the Earth as its core foundation."

"???"

Zhang Wei was utterly astonished, finding it hard to believe that the national think tank would reach such a conclusion.

In the past, the think tank's predictions for countless major events have never been wrong, but this time the result is simply too unbelievable.

He couldn't help but wonder to himself, had everyone lost their minds? Otherwise, how could they make such an absurd judgment?

"I simply cannot understand why making Earth the core of Huaxia Civilization is the optimal solution."
