Chapter 1 The Choice

Uncle Wang, seeing that Su Mo wasn't very enthusiastic, asked, "Su Mo, what's wrong? You don't seem too happy."

"Nothing, just thinking about some things."

Su Mo replied faintly.

Just then, the music on TV suddenly became more intense, stirring up everyone's emotions again.

Long Ming led Augulas, Iselin, and Spade straight onto the stage.

At the same time, the hosts, Miss Becky and Zhao Mo Shuang, stepped aside.

Su Mo narrowed his eyes. He vaguely felt a change in the atmosphere.

Long Ming and the others bowed to the crowd. Then, he began, "Hello everyone, I am Long Ming. Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to watch this glorious ceremony. I believe everyone here is as excited as I am! We are incredibly proud of the heroes being honored."

Long Ming paused here, his tone suddenly becoming stern. "But now, I must confess something to you all. We are about to face a historic decision, a decision that concerns the life and death of all of us and the continuation of our civilization."

As soon as these words came out, people all over the world watching the live broadcast were stunned, each with a look of confusion.

"That is, we are about to welcome the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei (Star Ring Heavenly Cup), which is completely different from the Di Zhi Bei (Earthly Cup). If we really had to compare them, we could only say that one is a warm-up, and the other is the truly cruel reality. To be honest with you, the world we went to during the Di Zhi Bei actually exists. Everyone has also seen the destruction of that civilization. But what you don't know is that that civilization once participated in the Di Zhi Bei, and its main country, Dragon Country, even qualified for the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei."

"But they chose to give up participating in the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei, and ultimately suffered the destruction of their civilization. And now, we are facing the same choice. Either participate in the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei, or abandon it like cowards."

Long Ming said passionately.

He had already made it very clear. The difference between the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei and the Di Zhi Bei is that one is fought in someone else's home, and the other is fought in your own home. One still has a chance to survive, and the other is a real fight to the death. And you have no choice. If you don't fight, you just wait for a slow death. If you fight, at least there's a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, grids of images appeared, each grid broadcasting images of crowds watching in open-air squares in various regions.

You could see the expressions of panic and unease on the faces of many people.

Long Ming said in a deep voice, "There is a saying that goes, 'Either perish in silence, or explode in silence.' I once again call on everyone to unite and jointly conquer the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei! Of course, you don't have to worry, we are not completely unprepared. Fifty years ago, when we first participated in the Di Zhi Bei, we obtained some technology. But at that time, we didn't participate in the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei immediately, thinking that we could use that technology to improve our environment. But everyone has seen that our living environment has not only not improved, but has instead become worse and worse. At that time, we knew that running away wouldn't solve the problem. I suppose everyone must be very confused, why do we breed so many people when resources are so scarce? Today I will tell you, this is a preparation made in advance for the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

At this time, Augulas stood up and said, "Although I am also very afraid of the unknown journey, I would rather die standing than cowardly perish in silence. I support Long Ming's proposal to conquer the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei!"

"If you're a man, pick up your weapons and fight together! I call on everyone in E Country to participate."

Spade stated in a deep and powerful voice.

"There is nothing to fear about death. Hopeless despair is the most terrifying thing. I agree to conquer Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei!"

"My R Country also agrees to conquer the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei!"

Fujiwara Tani also stood up and stated his position.

At this time, council chairmen on the stage stood up and stated their positions one after another.

"We also agree, we would rather fight to the death!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the venue was completely ignited. Seeing the council chairmen stand up and express their support, the panic on the faces of many people gradually faded, replaced by enthusiastic shouts.

"What's there to be afraid of, let's fight them!"

.....

At this time, Long Ming saw that the atmosphere had been stirred up, so he officially announced: "I am proud of your bravery and fearlessness, but this is, after all, about everyone's fate. So I decided to hold a national referendum on whether to participate in the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei. Now all voting channels will be opened. You can send text messages to the official mailbox via your mobile phone, or you can vote at designated polling stations. The minority will obey the majority, does everyone have any objections?"

"No!"

Everyone on the stage shouted.

"In that case, I officially announce that voting has begun! The time limit is 3 hours."

Long Ming announced in a deep voice.

Immediately afterwards, a percentage statistic appeared on the holographic screen behind the gala.

The percentage of those who agreed to conquer the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei jumped from zero to one percent in an instant and began to rise rapidly.

In fact, the plan to conquer the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei had already been finalized. The reason why Long Ming and the others held such a national referendum was to prevent some people from complaining and regretting in the future if they encountered desperate situations and difficulties in the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei, and using this as an excuse to make trouble and shake everyone's beliefs.

After all, you can't regret your own choice, right?

Of course, there's nothing to see in the referendum results. It will definitely be overwhelmingly passed. There will be no accidents...

In the ruins of Shanghai, Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhao looked at this scene and were speechless in shock.

"The world is going to change."

"It's not that the world is going to change, but that a great era is coming."

Su Mo also felt the blood in his body boiling for no reason. He had a strong premonition that the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei should really be a game of reality, as he had guessed.

"Um, Su Mo, do you agree?"

Uncle Wang asked, a little frightened.

"I agree."

Su Mo replied without hesitation. He had personally witnessed the destruction of Dragon Country. This world is not as beautiful as imagined.

"Since Su Mo said he agrees, then it must be right to choose to participate."

Uncle Wang nodded in response.

At this time, Uncle Zhao exclaimed in surprise; "Look, the percentage of approval is rising so fast, it has reached 30%, the number of votes against is only 0.7%, and the number of abstentions is only 0.2%."

At this time, the screen switched to different celebrities and elites from all walks of life.

They all began to call on everyone to participate in the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei, after all, the preparatory work for the rear is still very important.

"I am Becky, I am cheering for the Xinghuan·Tian Zhi Bei! I believe the future belongs to us."

"I am Zhao Mo Shuang, the brave are invincible, I believe victory belongs to us."
