Fuck!
The highest ranking official of the United States was furious.
What kind of bullying is this, but... he couldn't make a scene. Were they kidding?
Now it was 1.1 million square kilometers of territory. If this guy got unhappy and took tens of thousands more kilometers, he truly wouldn't be able to go back home with any face.
"It's been a pleasure cooperating, Mr. Representative."
The representative of the Best Empire smiled, signed the treaty, and turned to leave.
Pfft~~
Not long after the Best Empire's representative left, the highest ranking official of the United States spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fainted from rage.
Shame!
This was the most shameful moment of his life, without a doubt!
Immediately, the Best Empire issued an official statement: effective immediately, the United States would cede 1.1 million square kilometers of territory to the Best Empire as compensation for invading Best Empire territory.
This announcement caused a global uproar.
As for the remaining 45 countries that had originally protested, they dared not utter a single word and immediately and voluntarily ceded 100,000 square kilometers of land to the Best Empire.
Were they kidding?
If even the mighty United States was no match, what were they?
After all, the 1.1 million square kilometers ceded by the United States served as a stark warning. They dared not further anger the Best Empire.
In an instant, the prestige of the Best Empire spread throughout all countries and major powers.
Soon after.
"A congratulatory message from China, congratulating the Best Empire on its expansion!"
"A congratulatory message from the UK, congratulating the Best Empire on its expansion!"
"A congratulatory message from North Bear Country, congratulating the Best Empire on its expansion!"
"..."
Congratulatory messages poured in from all countries, all of them friendly. The 46 countries were green with envy. They had lost so much, they had lost so much!
Not only that.
Even the neutral countries sent congratulatory messages. It wasn't for any other reason than that they clearly understood that the rise of the Best Empire was a foregone conclusion, and even the United States and the 46 other countries could not stop it. This proved everything.
3 million square kilometers!
4 million square kilometers!
5 million square kilometers!!
As expected, the Best Empire's territorial area was increasing at a visibly rapid pace. With surrounding powers submitting and the land ceded by the United States and other countries, the Best Empire's dominance was now a certainty.
...
The Five Elders' Pavilion, Imperial Capital of China.
"Bang!!!"
Wang Xuanyu slammed his hand on the table, filled with unprecedented excitement. Wei Nantian and Elder Feng, along with others, were equally so.
"Good kid!"
"Over 70 aircraft carriers, threatening the United States, and forcing them to cede 1.1 million square kilometers of land. Ruthless!"
"Heh, and the other 45 countries, each contributing only 100,000 square kilometers, but together that's a total of 4.5 million square kilometers, tsk tsk~"
"With this kind of scale, coupled with the Best Empire's nearly 4 million square kilometers of territory, wouldn't their land area be close to 10 million square kilometers?"
"Such a territory is even larger than ours in China!"
"Indeed. The only one that could possibly surpass the Best Empire in terms of territory would be North Bear Country."
The Five Elders licked their lips, speaking with immense emotion and excitement. Others might not know, but they were perfectly clear that the master of the Best Empire was none other than Ye Xuan.
"Five Elders, a major development!" Da Feng Novel Network.
Just then, a figure hurried in from outside. The person was none other than Long Aotian, the current military commander of the Imperial Capital's War Department.
"What is it?"
Elder Feng glanced at Long Aotian and asked with a slight frown, clearly not believing anything could be more significant than the Best Empire's current rise to dominance.
"Cough cough......."
Seeing the Five Elders' calm demeanor, Long Aotian gave a wry smile, swallowed hard, and took a deep breath. "Five Elders, the Best Empire's total territory has surpassed 10 million square kilometers!"
"What!?"
As expected, upon hearing Long Aotian's words, the Five Elders of China were all shocked.
"So fast??"
Wang Xuanyu frowned slightly, clearly surprised.
"More than fast."
Long Aotian continued, "Just half an hour ago, several medium-sized countries around the Best Empire with territories exceeding 500,000 square kilometers simultaneously announced their allegiance to the Best Empire. Now, not only has the Best Empire's territory surpassed the 10 million square kilometer mark, but..."
"Its current territory has reached a staggering 12 million square kilometers!"
"And, there are at least five more medium-sized countries of 500,000 square kilometers each in a state of flux. However, according to intelligence, their probability of submitting to the Best Empire is at least ninety percent."
Hiss~~~
Long Aotian's words immediately made Wang Xuanyu and the others unable to remain calm. With five more medium-sized countries of 500,000 square kilometers each, if this trend continued, wouldn't the Best Empire's territory soon approach 15 million square kilometers?
"Impressive!"
"Too fast! The speed at which the Best Empire is rising is unprecedented. Could it be that the Best Empire intends to unify the entire globe!?"
Thinking of this, the Five Elders' mouths twitched, and their eyelids fluttered uncontrollably.
They understood very well!
With the Best Empire's current strength, no country in the world could stand against it.
If anyone on planet Earth was most likely to unify the world, it would undoubtedly be the Best Empire.
Tianhai Nine Dragon Villas.
Ding dong~
After breakfast, Luo Tianyi, who was about to head to her company for work, received a message on her phone. As she read the message, her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed.
"This is......."
"The Best Empire's territory is already over 12 million square kilometers. My goodness, that's four to five times larger than before."
"And it forced the United States to cede 1.1 million square kilometers. Is that guy crazy?"
"What exactly does he want to do?"
Luo Tianyi took a deep breath, and after a moment, her eyes became resolute. "Is the gap between myself and him growing so wide? It seems... it's time to work harder. Otherwise, how can I have common ground with my man?"
"Dragon Domain Group's future industries must expand beyond planet Earth. Otherwise... I will definitely not be able to keep up with his pace."
With this thought, Luo Tianyi's eyes became determined. "Go, Luo Tianyi, you can do it."
Following this, a grand blueprint appeared in Luo Tianyi's mind. To make the Dragon Domain Group break out of planet Earth, the first priority was to build the Dragon Domain Group into the largest commercial empire on the planet.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the Best Empire's territory exceeding 10 million square kilometers. You have received a tenfold rebate, with a maximum rebate of 5,000 Star River Coins, plus 10 low-grade Imperial Crystals."
In the room, Ye Xuan, feeling the golden morning sun, curved his lips and murmured, "The rewards have arrived? The time to break through to the third-tier Great Emperor is drawing near."
