The people of Earth were also seeing the Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty for the first time.
To be precise, they were seeing a true emperor for the first time.
Because Earth no longer had feudal dynasties, there were no emperors.
What existed were systems similar to the monarchy in England, but they were only called kings, possessing only symbolic meaning and little real power.
They could not be compared to an emperor who held real power and whose word could decide the life and death of millions of common people.
This Emperor of the Great Qian was nearly two meters tall, with an incredibly well-proportioned physique, emanating a faint golden light all over his body, making him appear very sacred.
At the same time, an aura of imperial majesty radiated from him, making one feel, with just a glance, that he was supreme above and below, inspiring a desire to kneel and worship.
Most importantly, this Emperor of the Great Qian was extremely handsome, with chiseled features, sharp eyebrows, and piercing eyes, making him incredibly attractive.
The women were momentarily stunned upon seeing him for the first time.
"How dare you! Not kneeling before His Majesty, why don't you kneel down quickly!"
After Lin Ru finished paying his respects to Xu Mo, he saw that these Earth captives were all standing, showing no intention of kneeling to the Emperor. He couldn't help but scold them angrily.
The crowd snapped back to reality at Lin Ru's reprimand.
However, asking them to kneel was too much for them.
After all, they were all modern people, educated in modern ways, and they were all prominent figures who would have people kneeling to them on Earth.
Now, it was their turn to kneel? The group hesitated.
Seeing Lin Ru's expression about to change, Lin Wencheng quickly pulled his granddaughter and grandson to their knees, and at the same time, shouted in the Chinese language:
"Citizens of the Chinese nation on Earth pay respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qian! Long live His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live!"
After speaking, he gestured for Lin Xue and Lin Zihao to follow suit.
The two were initially resistant and felt awkward, but Lin Wencheng insisted that they speak, so they could only utter the words.
Seeing that someone had started, the rest no longer hesitated and all knelt on the ground. Those who understood Chinese shouted "Long live."
Those who didn't understand Chinese could only anxiously stare and remain silent while kneeling.
Lin Ru's expression finally improved after seeing all these Earthlings kneel and pay their respects.
"Your Majesty, these Earthlings are ignorant of etiquette. Please do not be angry," Lin Ru said, bowing towards Xu Mo.
Xu Mo waved his hand, unconcerned, "It's fine. These people come from the Endless Sea and are not familiar with the rules of our Great Wilderness, which is normal."
His expression was calm, but his heart was filled with excitement.
Upon seeing the familiar modern clothing on them, he thought, "As expected, they are all from Earth."
These two hundred captives were all Earthlings, his fellow countrymen.
However, despite his inner turmoil, he did not show it on his face and turned to Lin Ru, asking, "What have you discovered with your spiritual sense?"
"Your humble servant has roughly finished the investigation," Lin Ru replied respectfully, then reported all the information he had obtained to Xu Mo, finally condensing the Chinese language into a memory shard and presenting it to His Majesty.
Looking at this memory shard containing the Chinese language, Xu Mo thought for a moment before accepting it.
Although he himself knew Chinese and was a genuine Chinese person.
But this was something only he knew, so he didn't want to reveal it to too many people, mainly to avoid trouble.
Gongsun Rou also heard Lin Ru's words and was astonished that these Earthlings possessed such powerful nuclear weapons!
She couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems these mortals are not simple. They can create such wondrous things through knowledge, and they are not weaker than cultivators."
She remembered a sentence His Majesty often said: mortals who grasp knowledge can be terrifying.
Before, she didn't quite understand, only remembering it because His Majesty said it.
But now, knowing the information about these Earthlings, she could understand.
Gongsun Rou couldn't help but glance sideways at Xu Mo, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration, and she was immensely impressed by His Majesty's foresight in seeing beyond the Great Wilderness.
"Man can conquer nature. Do not underestimate mortals. Cultivators also come from mortals," Xu Mo said with a faint smile.
Then, he finally looked at the Earthlings still kneeling on the ground.
At this moment, the Earthlings were extremely uneasy, unable to understand what their Emperor and his subordinates were saying.
But they knew their fate was in the hands of the Great Qian Emperor, so they were filled with worry.
Xu Mo scanned the group and found people from various countries, including his own countrymen, the Chinese.
He directly spoke in Chinese, "Rise."
Hearing the Great Qian Emperor's words, the Earthlings looked at each other, and after a moment, they all stood up from the ground.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor!" they all said.
Xu Mo cut to the chase and asked the question he most wanted to know.
"How did you trespass into the Great Wilderness? Before entering the Great Wilderness, did you notice any signs? And when you entered the sea area of the Great Wilderness, did you encounter any obstacles?"
These were the questions he urgently wanted to know.
Regarding the Great Wilderness appearing on Earth, Xu Mo felt a sense of unease, not understanding why the Great Wilderness had appeared on Earth.
Was the Great Wilderness originally on Earth, or did some situation arise that caused it to appear in the Great Wilderness by mistake?
Another question was whether people from Earth would be obstructed by the mist barrier when entering the Great Wilderness.
Upon hearing the Great Qian Emperor's question, the group exchanged glances, suddenly unsure how to answer.
They themselves wanted to know how they trespassed into the Great Wilderness, so they couldn't answer this question.
Seeing that no one stepped forward to answer for a long time, seemingly intimidated by the Great Qian Emperor's pressure,
Lin Wencheng, worried about angering these cultivators again, could only brace himself and step forward, disregarding his granddaughter's attempts to stop him, and said,
"Your Majesty the Emperor, we also do not know how we trespassed into the Great Wilderness. Initially, we were on a huge cruise ship. Then, at some unknown time, a mist arose at sea, causing the cruise ship to lose contact and blindly enter the misty area."
"By the time the cruise ship was no longer out of control, we had already arrived in the sea area of the Great Wilderness. We did not encounter any obstacles during this period. If I had to mention one, it might have been a sea beast, a giant octopus."
His concise answer was phrased very carefully, for fear of angering this Emperor.
With the first person speaking, the rest also chimed in, adding details.
After listening to everyone's words, Xu Mo frowned slightly and fell into thought.
Gongsun Rou also absorbed the memory shard condensed by Lin Ru and could understand what these people were saying. She said, "Your Majesty, it seems the Great Wilderness has truly appeared on Earth."
