Dragon Palace, a taboo for the big shots of all countries on Earth. Qiao Langdeng vividly remembered the incident of mysteriously appearing on Mile Island last time, not to mention the universe and alien existences that had refreshed his worldview back then.
The New Human Plan was the biological research achievement of the United States of America, aimed at allowing humanity to break free from the limitations of a single physical form, making the human body more powerful and diverse. However, the success rate of this New Human project was extremely low, and it was far from comparable to those who relied on the Great Dao for strength. The reason this plan continued was because it had achieved some results, and only New Humans could survive in new territories if humanity were to achieve interstellar immigration.
"Sir?"
The assistant, seeing Qiao Langdeng speechless for a long time, couldn't help but remind him.
"Mm, it's nothing. You may go. Also, tell the New Human Laboratory to speed up the progress. I can't stand being on Blue Star for another moment!"
Blue Star was too dangerous. A single person from Dragon Palace could put him in mortal peril. The Blue Star of today was not the Blue Star of a year ago. The military might of the United States of America had lost its threat to most countries, and fewer and fewer were obedient. Moreover, due to having offended too many people in the past, conflicts that could not be handled by firearms and ammunition erupted from time to time within the entire United States of America.
Watching the assistant leave, Qiao Langdeng shakily stood up and walked towards a game pod in the corner of the office.
Meanwhile, the entire Blue Star was ignited with fury by the announcement from Hua Yi Country. However, after tens of thousands of people were blacklisted by Shangjing City, the storm subsided. There was no other way; powerful individuals or forces in the real world trembled at the mention of Dragon Palace, while ordinary people could not make any significant waves.
Therefore, even though the entry fee to the city had increased tenfold and they could only stay for forty minutes, they had no choice but to endure.
"Boss, my talent has improved to Level 6!" A few days later, Wang Chen returned from the Divine Realm, his face beaming with excitement. Knowing Ye Yun was present, he eagerly sought him out.
"One month and five days. Although your talent has reached Level 6, your strength is only at the level of a Main God. That's still a long way from the Monarch level required for the mission, isn't it?" Ye Yun paid no attention to the outside turmoil. However, this former CEO of a listed company had caused him considerable worry.
In this short period, Wang Chen had actually managed to raise his talent to...
"Alright, I'm going then." Wang Chen nodded, not asking why.
"A month has passed. The spiritual energy across the entire Human Star Domain is slowly recovering, ushering in a glorious new era. All humans on Blue Star can transform into cultivators through the platform of the Great Dao, leading to a world where everyone is like a dragon."
"However, if a powerful force is not present to suppress such a world, given humanity's current moral self-restraint, it will be a disaster for the entire Blue Star and even the entire star domain!"
Leaning on the railing, Ye Yun gazed down at Fengle City, which was aglow with evening lights.
Due to the vast wealth Ye Yun brought back from other regions, Blue Star's development speed would be unprecedented according to the game's mechanics. However, Blue Star had lost its cultivation system inheritance for millions of years and no longer possessed the same temperament from a million years ago. This would become a hidden bomb for Blue Star in the future!
In today's terms, their strength would be explosive, but their character would be very low. If strength and inner state were not matched, many 'demons' would emerge.
At this moment, Ye Yun suddenly thought of Hua Yi Country's ancient religion, Taoism. This religion had been passed down for an unknown duration. Although there were no more cultivators, their methods of self-cultivation and self-reflection were still spread among the people.
There was also Buddhism. Although Ye Yun disagreed with some of its doctrines which he felt were foolish, it was undeniably a way of moral cultivation.
However, thinking of the relationship between Buddhism and the Buddhist race, Ye Yun gave up the idea. Taoism, on the other hand, was humanity's self-cognition and reflection on their true selves. Most importantly, it lacked the inheritance systems and techniques of foreign races. Compared to Buddhism, Taoism appeared much cleaner.
Soon, a piece of news exploded throughout Dragon Palace.
Everyone in Dragon Palace and their families must possess a copy of the 'Daodejing,' and all were required to be able to read and comprehend it. This would also be included in their performance evaluations for entry into the Four Great Legions!
This news also caused a great stir throughout Hua Yi Country. Suddenly, books related to Taoism were bought out by countless people.
Bookstores, which had been sparsely populated due to the impact of the game, instantly became crowded.
"Brother, why are you buying this book? Are you tired of living?"
"Get lost! This is one of the mandatory books for the entrance examination for Dragon Palace reserve team members, and it's essential reading for contemporary civil service exams."
"Exactly. Bro, take my advice, buy it now while it's still cheap. You won't be able to find it later. I've heard that printing factories are already receiving large orders from various major powers and have no surplus capacity."
"That's right, that's right. A relative of mine who runs a small workshop has even received orders from foreigners. Can these foreigners understand it when they take it?"
...
At Ye Yun's word, the 'Daodejing' became a global phenomenon on Blue Star.
