Three days later, Bai Tang sent Lu Feng and Zhang Yingfeng back to the Baolian Lantern World, then transferred to the Future World, where she sold one-third of the items obtained in Dragon Palace for several water treatment technologies and a large amount of Gold. She also customized two Mechas suitable for Yi Qian and Yang Kang before transferring again to the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. After selling another third of the treasures in this world, she moved on to the world of Laughing Proudly. Since she had sent Ying Shen and others here, she hadn't returned until now, and was taken aback: the Ming Dynasty was over! The Qing Dynasty had not been established; instead, a democratic republic had been formed.
Not only that, but cement roads were laid between villages; cities were connected by trains; Jenny Looms spread across the north and south; although electric lights had not reached every household, streetlights were installed on the main streets of major cities; children carried cloth bags filled with newspapers, holding one hand up with a newspaper while shouting loudly: "Cabinet Passes New Business Bill, Navy is about to set sail to attack Pirate Base..."
Bai Tang was so astonished that her mouth hung open: Wow, these people's combat power is too strong!
She pulled out two coins to buy a newspaper and read it from start to finish without missing a word. Finally, from these texts and information gathered from nearby people, she pieced together how Ying Shen and others changed this world after her departure.
Among Ying Shen's group, although not many had Abilities, they were ordinary people who could be abandoned at any time in the apocalypse. However, in ancient society, they were elites with outstanding skills in various industries. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was gradually declining. Thinking about the future invasions by foreign barbarians into the Central Plains, bloodily washing through Jiangnan and breaking the backs of all Huaxia people into slavery. They also closed off the country, leading to social backwardness. The humiliation of the Eight-Nation Alliance ravaging Huaxia prompted Ying Shen and others to decide to change history. Thus, glass appeared, artificial pearl farming emerged, "Home Business Associations" that could collapse the economy with just a little movement spread throughout Huaxia, steam engines appeared, textile machines emerged, and firearms and trains came one after another... These actions by Meizhuang touched many people's interests, leading to various suppressions and even direct assassination attempts. Unfortunately, no matter how skilled one was in martial arts, they couldn't surpass guns and cannons. Moreover, there were Abilities involved. All those who targeted Meizhuang were swiftly eliminated by Ying Shen and others, who took proactive measures to lead the brainwashed impoverished masses in a war to liberate all Huaxia.
No matter how good their martial arts or how many they were, they could not compete with firearms. The Eight-Nation Alliance relied on sharp guns to invade Beijing with just a few thousand men. With a modern populace that had a mass base, it took them less than half a year to liberate all Huaxia. The Yongming Emperor was forced to abdicate. The Huaxia Democratic Republic was established; its first president was not Ying Shen. This fellow was a tech geek who chose to become the Minister of the newly formed Ministry of Industry.
After internal stability was achieved, Huaxia began clearing out neighboring nations with ambitions since during the apocalypse those nations would face extinction anyway. A few hundred years earlier made little difference. Besides, if they weren't extinguished, they would still covet Huaxia's land and plunge Huaxia's people into eight years of suffering.
Western nation bandits lacked Yuanhang's capabilities; thus, during this blank period, they occupied both America and Australia. Naturally, they couldn't overlook those islands in Southeast Asia either. By the time Western bandits had the ability to seek colonies abroad, Huaxia's weapons would definitely be more advanced than theirs. They would surely drive them back home...
Bai Tang rarely admired anyone this much, but Ying Shen and these people truly made her feel "impressed." It was remarkable; Huaxia rose because of them. As a Huaxia person, she felt proud and grateful.
Bai Tang did not disturb this group; instead, she discreetly exchanged her remaining treasures for Gold before leaving this timeline. In the future, she might come back more often!
In the Apocalyptic World, thanks to Bai Tang's provided Zombie vaccine, no one became infected with Zombies anymore; Zombies were nearly exterminated by humans. Powerful Mutated Animals curled up in deep mountains and forests; Mutated Plants posed little threat now—aside from environmental issues and natural disasters—there was nothing left that could threaten human life. Human society began stabilizing and prospering—this mainly referred to Huaxia; other nations received vaccines and energy weapons (which had been phased out) as friendly aid from Huaxia but started late and were still struggling against Zombies! As for Mud Hurdle and other nations like it—they had long been wiped out.
"Master, where are you taking us?" Yi Qian asked curiously while sitting next to Bai Tang. Early this morning, Bai Tang woke him and Yang Kang up and called Tian Yuan over without saying anything before stuffing them into a car driven out of the base.
"To find an open space in the suburbs; it needs to be large enough," Bai Tang said. "I'm taking you to witness a miracle!"
"What miracle?" the other three asked in unison, filled with curiosity.
Bai Tang smiled lightly but did not answer their question.
The three felt an itch in their hearts, more uncomfortable than having eighteen cats scratching inside. What miracle was it? You know very well! Don't keep us in suspense like this! They had no doubt that a miracle was happening with Bai Tang; in their eyes, Bai Tang was already a miracle.
After driving over a hundred miles from the Beijing Base, Bai Tang finally found a suitable location. Under the nearly bulging eyes of the three, Bai Tang took out a jade pendant shaped like a ginkgo leaf.
"Do you know what this is?"
"It's a jade pendant!" Yi Qian said, puzzled. What does Master want to do with this?
Yang Kang's mind was more active; he pointed at the pendant and said, "Could this be the legendary portable space?"
"Bingo, you got it right!" Bai Tang gave Yang Kang an appreciative look.
Tian Yuan was overwhelmed with excitement, his eyes shining almost as brightly as a ten-thousand-volt incandescent bulb.
"Is this really a portable space? One with mountains, rivers, and fertile fields where you can farm?"
"That's right!" With Bai Tang's affirmative response, Tian Yuan was incredibly excited. "Can you give this jade pendant to our nation?"
"No!" Bai Tang refused.
Tian Yuan did not expect Bai Tang to respond this way. Wasn't she always helping the Nation and its people? Energy weapons, Mecha, Space Fortresses, food, antidotes... weren't all these provided by Bai Tang to the Nation? Why was she being so stingy about this jade pendant? It made sense, though; this pendant had its own space and was definitely a rare treasure. It was normal for Bai Tang not to want to give it away. Unfortunately, without a large amount of fertile land to grow food, many people could only struggle to get by, alternating between hunger and fullness.
Seeing a hint of dissatisfaction rise in Tian Yuan's heart, Bai Tang did not get angry at his misunderstanding. She simply told her disciple and the others, "Open your eyes wide; this is the moment to witness a miracle!"
With that, she threw the jade pendant far away, opened the system panel, and pressed the confirm button. The deal with the Dragon King had gathered enough wealth to release Ginkgo Space. There was even a surplus. It was evident that the Dragon Palace was truly one of the richest places in the world.
Yi Qian and Yang Kang, reminded by Bai Tang to keep their eyes wide open, saw the thrown jade pendant emit a soft silver light that gradually expanded. Within the light, high mountains, rivers, fertile fields, lakes, fruit trees, vegetable gardens, livestock... all appeared in a lively and prosperous Farmhouse Fun scene!
Tian Yuan was also drawn in by the silver light and realized he had wronged Bai Tang. Guilt welled up within him.
The silver light grew brighter until it became blinding. A few of them couldn't stand it and closed their eyes. When they felt the brightness dimming, they opened their eyes again. Except for Bai Tang, the other three were all stunned: the flat and desolate plain had been replaced by lush green mountains and forests; fertile fields stretched as far as the eye could see. They were filled with golden rice ears, bright red tomatoes, and vibrant green vegetables and fruits; on the ridges of the fields, roosters walked with hens and chicks. On the shimmering lake surface, ducks and white geese swam freely. Occasionally, they would catch fish from the lake as snacks—those fish were more than a foot long and completely out of reach for them; fruits hung heavily from branches in the Orchard—red, golden, purple, white, pink... each one looked so tempting it made one drool; the sounds of cows mooing, pigs oinking, and sheep bleating echoed healthily...
"Peach Blossom Spring!" Yang Kang exclaimed in admiration as he recited, "The land is vast and flat; houses are neatly arranged with fertile fields and beautiful ponds. Paths are interconnected; sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard..."
Yi Qian turned to Bai Tang: "Master, is this world before us really the world within the jade pendant? It can actually come out from it! Master, what have you done? Will it affect you?"
Her disciple was still so considerate.
Bai Tang gently patted her disciple's arm: "Don't worry; I just emptied all the money I've earned over these years! But money can be earned again; these benefits are something you can't ask for."
"Benefits?" Yi Qian asked in confusion.
Bai Tang smiled slightly and looked up to see a thick beam of golden light descending from above. The golden light divided into four parts above their heads; the largest portion fell on Bai Tang while a thin strand of golden light landed on Yi Qian, Yang Kang, and Tian Yuan respectively. The golden light washed over Bai Tang's body, warm and comfortable enough that she almost gasped out loud. Fortunately, she managed to hold it back; Bai Tang opened her system panel only to see it gradually dissolve in the golden light and merge into her body as energy. Bai Tang's realm soared like she was riding a rocket: Harmonization Stage, Void Stage, Great Ascension Stage, Tribulation Crossing Stage, Human Immortal Stage, True Immortal Stage, Profound Immortal Stage, Golden Immortal Stage, Great Luo Golden Immortal Stage, Quasi-Saint Stage, Saint Stage...
Bai Tang felt the call from beyond the thirty-three realms.
Yi Qian and the others had also significantly increased their strength: Yi Qian and Yang Kang had both reached Yuan Ying, one in the late stage and the other in the early stage, while Tian Yuan had just barely formed his Golden Core.
"What was that light just now?" Yi Qian asked in astonishment. The light had greatly boosted his strength, and since there was no calamity from Jie Yuan Ying yet, it must have been something good.
"That was the light of merit. Goddess Nüwa directly attained sainthood through the merit she gained from creating humanity," Bai Tang explained to the three with a smile. "With this space, humanity on Earth has gained an additional assurance for survival. I have completed everything I can do, and it is time for me to leave. From now on, this world will be entrusted to your guardianship! Tian Yuan, please make sure to tell the rulers on Earth not to abandon it lightly. This is our homeland!"
Sensing the impending separation and knowing that Bai Tang would not return this time, Yi Qian and Yang Kang felt their eyes redden. Tian Yuan nodded vigorously: "Rest assured, I will definitely convey your words to them. I swear to protect Earth; even if others abandon it, I will not leave!"
A beam of golden light descended, witnessing Tian Yuan's oath. At that moment, Yi Qian, Yang Kang, and Tian Yuan became recognized guardians of Earth.
Bai Tang smiled with satisfaction as colorful light enveloped her, slowly lifting her into the sky. She looked down at the increasingly familiar land of Huaxia, recalling Wang Yao from Hetalia, and remembered a phrase she once loved dearly, which she then recited aloud. Her voice spread to every corner of Huaxia, resonating in the hearts of every person there:
"I love Huaxia the most. You have experienced success and failure but have never given up your dignity. Whether scorned or despised, you remain my beloved Nation. One day, you will rise again and shine brightly for China. I vow to protect you through honor and disgrace. Born as a dragon, even if one day your claws are broken, your scales torn, your eyes blinded, or your paws severed, you will still be a dragon. May I see you reign in my lifetime!"
…(THE END)
