Chapter 211: The Current Situation of Planet Earth (2)
“However, even so, China has paid a huge price. The population has shrunk by at least 50%!”
When Wang Yi heard this, he felt a chill run down his spine. This was not simply a cold number.
Behind this number were fresh lives. Especially with the huge population of China, it was even more terrifying.
With Wang Yi’s understanding of the Yang God Race, a scene had already begun to appear in his mind.
With Planet Earth’s current level of technology, even if they still had hidden methods, they were definitely not a match for the Yang God Race. They did not even have the chance to resist.
After all, Wang Yi was now a powerful martial artist. He naturally knew how big the gap between ordinary people and martial artists was, especially when facing a powerful race like the Yang God Race that specialized in spiritual power.
To put it bluntly, even if the humans on Planet Earth really had some powerful technological power, they probably wouldn’t even have the chance to use it.
Even if they could use it, with the Yang God Race’s terrifying perception of danger, they would probably have already left before the attack arrived.
“Then how did China resist the enemy?”
Perhaps even Wang Yi himself did not realize that his tone had completely changed.
Regardless of whether Wang Yi admitted it or not, he was afraid now. He was afraid that his previous judgment had been wrong. He was afraid that China would not be able to hold on and would be slaughtered by the Yang God Race.
If such a situation really happened, Wang Yi’s only goal for the rest of his life would probably be to take revenge.
He would go crazy and slaughter the martial artists from the Yang God Race. Regardless of their strength, regardless of gender, age, or innocence, they were all his targets.
Upon hearing Wang Yi’s question, Lu Yanyan’s mood obviously plummeted. Her eyes instantly turned red, and tears constantly welled up in her eyes.
Lu Yanyan sniffed and reached out to wipe her tears. She said in a slightly sobbing voice, “At the critical moment, Daoist masters from the Four Sacred Daoist Lands walked out.”
“They were led by the current Celestial Master, Zhang Longhu, and the Martial Grandmaster, Daoist Qing Feng, along with thousands of accomplished Daoists.”
“At the cost of sacrificing their own lives, they activated the array formation passed down from ancient times and simply covered the entire territory of China. Only then could they resist the enemy outside the country.”
When Wang Yi heard this, he could not help but be moved. This was true righteousness.
In the face of the rise and fall of the race, not everyone could give up their lives without hesitation, especially those who had successfully cultivated the Dao and could roam freely in the world.
Wang Yi could even imagine a group of Daoists standing under the heavens, at the peak of the mountains. They would sacrifice their Dao bodies without hesitation, just to protect their country and the world and keep their enemies at bay!
No!
Wang Yi suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
According to Lu Yanyan, the people who sacrificed themselves were all from the Dao Sect. She did not mention any Buddhist monks.
Logically speaking, Buddhism was much more prosperous than Daoism in China. Since even Daoists could step forward, it was impossible for the Buddhist sect not to have monks who had achieved the Dao.
At the thought of this, Wang Yi’s voice couldn’t help but turn cold. He asked coldly, “Could it be that the Buddhist world is in chaos and no one has come out to help the human race?”
Lu Yanyan seemed to be shocked. It took her a while to react. Then, she shook her head gently and said again, “Big Brother, it’s not what you think.”
“Although no Buddhists sacrificed themselves, their lives are not better than those who have died.”
“Before Celestial Master Zhang and Grandmaster Qing Feng died, they once said that although the array formation was strong, it was like duckweed without a root. Without the support of a powerful foundation, it needed the lifespan of people who have attained the Dao as the source of power.”
“Therefore, several eminent monks and all the Buddhist monks who have achieved the Dao in the temples in the world gathered in the Four Sacred Daoist Lands. With their lifespans as the foundation, they supported the entire array formation and allowed it to operate.”
Only then did the coldness in Wang Yi’s heart dissipate. At the same time, he felt relieved.
It was indeed as Lu Yanyan had said. The dead were indeed great, but the living had to shoulder the burden.
They needed to face a dark future and be ready to sacrifice themselves at all times.
Wang Yi suddenly thought of something and his expression became interesting. He could not help but ask again, “Are there hidden cultivators on Planet Earth?”
It was no wonder that Wang Yi suddenly asked this question. Before he transmigrated, he had heard of cultivation, but he had never seen a cultivator before.
He thought that cultivation was just a legend. He thought that Planet Earth only took the technological route.
However, according to Lu Yanyan, there were cultivators on Planet Earth, and they didn’t seem weak.
Lu Yan nodded seriously and said seriously, “There are indeed hidden cultivators on Planet Earth, and they’re not from just the Buddhist and Daoist sects. There are also powerhouses among the commoners.”
At this moment, Wang Yi’s interest was piqued. He immediately asked again, “Powerhouses among the commoners? Can you tell me how powerful they are?”
At this point, Lu Yanyan finally stopped looking so miserable. Her face was filled with pride and admiration, to the point of fanaticism.
She said very excitedly, “Of course. The experts among the commoners are also extremely powerful, but the most dazzling and stunning person is definitely the God of War, Wang Wei!”
“Big Brother, can you imagine it? When the array was just activated and everyone was in the despair of the apocalypse…”
“The God of War, Wang Wei, appeared in the world and wandered throughout the entire China by himself. He killed the enemies with a spear alone.”
“It can be said that more than half of the enemies who appeared in China died under the spear of the God of War, Wang Wei.”
At this moment, Wang Yi had a strange expression on his face. He could not help but mutter softly.
Wang Wei? This name was really familiar!
However, Wang Yi also knew that with China’s huge population, it was normal for people to have similar names.
It made sense, but he couldn’t help thinking of something else.
Wang Yi shook his head vigorously to dispel those messy thoughts, and his mood lightened.
At the very least, according to the information he now knew, he could confirm that Planet Earth was temporarily safe.
At long last, he was no longer as nervous as before. Wang Yi couldn’t help but comfort her. “Although you’ve experienced hardship, it’s all in the past, right?”
Lu Yanyan did not show any joy at this. Instead, her expression became bitter again.
Shaking her head gently, she sighed and said, “It’s not in the past, it’s not in the past!”
“The God of War, Wang Wei, and a few eminent monks have worked together to deduce that even if everyone’s lifespan is sacrificed, the array can only last for twenty years at most.”
At this moment, Wang Yi also realized that he had misspoken. All he could think about was that China was safe and that the Yang God Race hadn’t completely conquered it.
