Chapter 759: Chapter 758 Hope in the Divine Continent
"Even so, it’s better for the ordinary people to plan this world than for those Hidden Sect powers to decide everything," Tang Shuwan said after a long silence.
Ning Shucheng slowly nodded in agreement, "That’s correct. The people from the three great Hidden Lands are more rigid in their thinking. If they were to lead the world, the lives of the common people would indeed be worse."
Tang Shuwan looked at Ning Shucheng and asked, "So was my visit today helpful to you?"
She was seeking Ning Shucheng’s stance.
Ning Shucheng fell into silence once again.
The double-dealing of the Sun Family left him with little hope for his side’s victory, but the Ning Family was indeed different from the Sun Family, making the decision very difficult.
Especially since just yesterday, the family’s patriarch had spoken to him about having an escape plan.
With the world in upheaval, as long as the Ning Family had an army, even if they didn’t stay in Divine Continent, they could still dominate a territory overseas, slowly develop, and establish their own kingdom.
Just then, a slight tremor suddenly came.
Both of them were mildly startled.
The helicopter was indeed vibrating.
Then, the vibration became more and more apparent.
The next instant, a dazzling light came from the east, and as the two turned their heads, they saw a white halo.
The towering mountain ranges couldn’t block the spread of that bright light.
Ning Shucheng and Tang Shuwan, staring at the screen of light, were dumbstruck. Both were powerful Martial Artists, with exceptionally strong mindsets, but at this moment, they couldn’t help but tremble lightly out of control.
They both understood what this light meant.
Nuclear explosion!
Only a nuclear weapon explosion could wield such terrifying power.
"Is it Japan?" Tang Shuwan’s heart trembled with fear.
Ning Shucheng’s expression became extremely solemn, "That side has always been in a standoff with the Federation troops; conflict was inevitable, and now it has really erupted. But who launched the nuclear weapon?"
"Could it be that the Federation is once again carrying out a nuclear strike on Japan?" Tang Shuwan thought of the two nuclear bombs from the last century.
Ning Shucheng slowly shook his head, "Japan has been secretly developing over the years; they possess nuclear weapons. Thus, who was in control of this explosion still needs to be verified. But regardless, with this explosion, the global situation will enter an unprecedented period of tension, and the Third War could break out at any moment. I need to return to my unit right away."
As he spoke, he saw the driver who had escorted Ning Shucheng over jumping out of the car, running toward the helicopter with a grave expression, the implication unspoken.
Knowing Ning Shucheng was about to be busy, Tang Shuwan did not insist on staying, "With the global situation changing so quickly, if Divine Continent can’t unite, no single power will be a match for Heaven and Penglai Immortal Realm. If the Ning Family really plans to develop overseas away from Divine Continent, I fear such an action would not only face pursuit from all sides within Divine Continent, but also, no international powers would acknowledge your existence, let alone allow you to dominate a region as your own kingdom. Shucheng, I know you will make the right choice and not let the entire Ning Family bear an eternal curse, plunging into the abyss."
Ning Shucheng paused for a moment, then gave Tang Shuwan a meaningful look before pushing open the helicopter cabin door and jumping out of the aircraft.
Tang Shuwan watched Ning Shucheng get into the car and drive away, and with a helpless sigh, she said to the returning helicopter pilot, "Let’s go back."
Just as the helicopter took off, a dazzling white light flared up again in the distance, and after a while, a muffled explosion sounded from afar.
In Tang Shuwan’s mind, the image of the world map surfaced, the locations of the two explosions were slightly different, but they were likely both near Japan Island.
If she had not guessed wrong, the explosion sites would be two important bases of the Federation troops.
...
Along the southeast coast of Divine Continent.
Three massive ships were sailing from the northeast direction toward Binhai International Port.
Upon one of the massive ships, Monica Cavendish stood on the stern deck, gazing into the distance towards the east with a somewhat solemn expression.
By her side were several powerful retainers from the Cavendish family, tasked with ensuring Monica’s safety.
Besides them, more than a dozen Asian-faced martial arts experts looked in the same direction with shock and awe.
They were the expert retainers of those tycoon families from Korea, with the mission, not only to escort these three great ships of wealth but also to protect many young masters and mistresses of the tycoon families.
Several days ago, when Li Xuanyu received that text message from Sun Xingyu, with her understanding of Sun Xingyu and her accurate judgment of the current situation, she knew that the frenzied nation would surely make a mad move, rendering all small countries and islands in East Asia and Southeast Asia unsafe.
Thus, Li Xuanyu decisively contacted Qin Yanyang and obtained permission for protection.
Without any delay, Li Xuanyu secretly communicated with the high-level members of other Korea’s tycoon groups and transferred the assets as quickly as possible.
On Qin Yanyang’s side, they were extremely efficient, even directly sending a spokesperson for the Cavendish family in Asia to assist in person.
With the Cavendish family’s pass, the regions of the sea along the way, which were blocked by the Federation, were also unobstructed, and the three giant ships arrived at the coast of the Divine Continent’s inner sea in no time.
Initially, Li Xuanyu’s decision met with lots of skepticism within the Han Chaebol Group, and even the young masters and mistresses who followed the three military ships had resentments deep in their hearts, unwilling to leave Korea, which they regarded as heaven.
But now, beholding the two nuclear explosions capable of shocking the world and feeling the distant void roar induced by the shockwaves from afar, all their resentments turned into relief.
The people of that island nation were truly insane, having gone to such extreme lengths to actually use globally banned nuclear weapons.
Just like in the last century, once this country sparked a war, the first to be eradicated would certainly be the neighboring countries and islands.
Korea was undoubtedly one of the most dangerous countries and regions in the world right now.
Leaving Korea to come to the Divine Continent, this superpower nation, indeed made the young masters and mistresses and the wealthy ladies of these tycoon families feel considerably more at ease.
Monica stood at the stern, gazing into the horizon, with a deep sorrow flashing through her beautiful azure eyes.
She was a pacifist and was highly resistant and disgusted by the current situation.
However, since the Heavenly Entrance event, the entire Western world had undergone significant changes.
Ordinary people couldn’t reach these things, but as an important member of the Cavendish family, Monica was well aware that the future world was bound to fall into chaos, and even if a full-scale war did not break out, the true darkness was inevitably approaching.
And now, with Japan’s crazy actions, it seemed likely that a full-scale war would also erupt.
In such a case, given the number of nuclear weapons controlled by the major powers of the world, human civilization could suffer a catastrophic blow.
Yet faced with all of this, Monica could only feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
As the spokesperson for the Cavendish family in the Asian region, she originally held an exalted status, wielding immense power and able to mobilize enough resources to influence the development of many events.
But now, she felt no different from ordinary human beings.
In times of peace, capital could govern everything.
In troubled times, especially in the face of the fervent race of the island nation, it seemed that capital had also lost its right to speak.
However, although Monica’s eyes carried deep sadness and concern, a glimmer of hope still flashed through them.
Japan not only had the Hawks but also the Dove Faction.
Despite the current situation where the Hawks seemed to have an absolute advantage, as long as the Dove Faction still existed, it would surely play a significant role one day in the future.
Monica then slowly turned her head and looked towards the Divine Continent.
In the face of Japan’s crazy actions, the global situation entered a highly tense and special period.
Whether the world will descend into chaos now depends on the Divine Continent.
