Chapter 715: Chapter 710: Destination: Silver Heart Great World!
The expressions on Speaker Wan and the others looked much better.
Nowadays, if Bai Pu truly wanted to become Emperor and establish an Empire, no one could stop him.
Although most of the Earth’s seven billion people opposed the restoration of the monarchy and opposed Bai Pu becoming Emperor, they could only oppose it silently in their hearts, not daring to express it.
The formidable personal strength, combined with the supreme authority over the Earth Battleship.
The combination of these factors created power that no monarch in history had ever possessed.
Bai Pu had no ambition to declare himself king or emperor, which only increased the trust everyone had in him.
"I think it’s still necessary to clarify Gangxin’s status."
An influential figure coughed, "In the face of unknown challenges from the Silver Heart Great World, we need to unite all of humanity on Earth as one. Gangxin is our absolute core. I propose giving Gangxin the title of ’Earth Lord,’ and from now on, any significant matters concerning Earth should consult Gangxin’s opinion before making decisions."
Everyone voiced their agreement.
"I can accept the title, but I won’t involve myself in specific matters."
Bai Pu stood up, "Ladies and gentlemen..."
"Oh no, not at all." The bigwigs stood up together.
"Alright, comrades, in the past, under your governance, Huaxia flourished and prospered. On Earth in the Spiritual Era, it was exceptional. I believe that by maintaining the current system and absorbing high-quality foreign populations, Earth’s future development will reach new heights."
After a pause, Bai Pu continued, "As for how to promote the grand cause of cultural unification... now is an unprecedented opportunity. With a large number of foreign leaders fleeing, leaving their countries leaderless, and the remnants of the Yazd Slave Army rampaging. We hold the key to the Earth Battleship, and we also have the only military force on Earth capable of eliminating the Yazd Slave Army!"
"With a mix of kindness and power, combined with the strong inclusiveness and attractiveness of Huaxia culture... I believe people from other countries will make their choices."
Everyone nodded, as what Bai Pu said made a lot of sense.
Once, Emperor Qin Shi Huang was able to achieve the cultural unification of Huaxia, and now with such favorable conditions, achieving global cultural unification should not be a difficult task.
"What if someone stubbornly refuses to integrate into Huaxia?"
How to deal with it would depend on Bai Pu’s decision.
Bai Pu smiled, saying, "Then there’s no need to save such people. If they are Awakened, I’ll send them to Yazd Star. Let’s see if they can continue their cultural heritage there."
All the prominent figures nodded.
As for ordinary foreigners unwilling to integrate into Huaxia culture...
There was no need for discussion since the authorities had numerous ways to deal with ordinary people. The Awakened were the ones that were hard to handle.
With the decision made, the whole of Huaxia operated like a full-throttle heavy machine roaring to life.
Compared to foreign powers that were leaderless and the invasion of the Yazd Slave Army, Huaxia was the only major country at this point able to maintain a complete system and operational capability.
The representatives of civilians from other countries and regions mostly expressed their agreement to join the Huaxia cultural sphere and recognized Bai Pu’s status as "Earth Lord."
They had only one request, hoping that the Earth Lord could lead the Huaxia Archer Team to purge the remnants of the terrifying Yazd Slave Army.
After all, at this time, the upper echelons of foreign countries had almost all fled, leaving only the middle and lower-class people whose greatest wish was survival. Whether their culture could be preserved was no longer important.
In recent decades, many foreign "public intellectuals" have praised the superiority of the Huaxia system, the advancement of Huaxia culture, and promoted the idea of "total Sinicization."
In this moment of apocalyptic crisis, Huaxia once again stood up and cultivated a Savior!
As one foreign public intellectual wrote in an open letter:
"This Savior from Huaxia, sick from childhood, with no kin. Thank Huaxia for its comprehensive medical aid system, ensuring the Savior’s survival to the age of seventeen, when he formally Awakened!
"If placed under Western systems, this Savior would have died young, and our civilization would be beyond saving!
"This is just a small aspect of the advanced Huaxia system. There are also the absolutely fair college entrance examination system, the Practical Officer system where Awakened do not interfere in politics, and the official vigilance against the expansion of family forces... There’s so much we need to learn. I believe integrating into Huaxia culture and becoming part of Huaxia civilization will make our societies better..."
Under this ideological trend, the path to the unification of Huaxia culture proceeded more smoothly than expected.
In fact, this had been within Bai Pu’s expectations all along.
Material determines consciousness, and reality determines thought.
Back in the Common Era, Huaxia once had a darkest hour, reduced to being the fat meat divided up by Western powers. At that time, many Huaxia people believed their country was backward, that Western systems were advanced, and even some "masters" advocated abandoning Chinese characters for widespread adoption of English.
Today is just a replay of that time.
Bai Pu continued to closely monitor the transformation process of the Earth Battleship.
The ten days gradually passed.
Those mountain peaks that rose towering into the sky extended upwards layer by layer like bamboo joints, eventually forming towering peaks of varying heights.
The lowest of these mountains was more than ten thousand meters, surpassing the original tallest peak in the world—Mount Everest.
The highest peaks even reached thousands of kilometers, penetrating Earth’s atmosphere, pointing straight into outer space.
Viewed from the Moon, Earth transformed from a blue sphere into a "spiked ball."
Of course, as the Starship Captain, Bai Pu knew best.
Some of these extending sky-touching peaks were hollow volcanic craters used for spewing particle streams. Other shorter peaks served as carriers for launching Spiritual Essence detection waves.
The entire Earth had transformed into a spherical Starship.
This Starship currently lacked significant firepower. As the Captain, Bai Pu had access only to three basic functions.
First, perform space jumps, transporting the entire Earth to the Silver Heart Great World with the assistance of Gaia’s Will for positioning.
Second, engage in small-scale piloting by forming thrust through the particle stream ejection from volcanic craters.
Third, launch Spiritual Essence detection waves to explore the surrounding cosmic space.
Of course, as the Captain, there were some minor functions for operating the Starship that need not be detailed one by one.
"Everything is ready."
Standing in the Earth Core Space, Bai Pu’s voice transmitted through the planetary core to the tips of various "mountain peaks" on the surface, resonating across the entire Earth’s surface.
It was like a divine decree being issued from the void.
"Fellow Earthlings, we are about to commence a space jump, with our target being... the Silver Heart Great World!"
