Chapter 547: Chapter 343: Star Sand on the Fingertips, Heaven and Earth in the Palm: Li Sheng’s Helium-3 Revolution and the Extraordinary Fire Seed
A short video from an African tribe: A Witch Doctor leads his people in a reenactment of a judgment ritual: "Only those who swear to the Moon they have not harmed their kin may receive the Divine Envoy’s blessing." The prop Exotic Beast is made from old tires, earning praise from a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) intangible cultural heritage observer.
A Russian military forum: "The disciplinary battlefield should be opened for spectator betting! Wager vodka! Let the bastards create some GDP for the country before they die!" → A detailed "Exotic Beast Colosseum Commercial Development Proposal" appears in the replies.
A livestream from a Brazilian favela: A gang leader burns a "Breathing Technique Manual" in front of the camera: "I don’t need Li Xiang’s charity..."
The next day, his corpse was found on the street. International internet trending topic: #SaintTierSurveillanceNowCoversRiodeJaneiro #DisrespectTheSaintTierAndDie.
Li Xiang: "..." ’Actually, I had nothing to do with it. I was busy with my Cultivation and playing with my son and daughter, so I wasn’t paying attention at all. That gang leader was probably killed in a turf war.’
Li Xiang had added this condition in the hopes that humanity would become more united at this critical juncture for civilization. With the Apocalypse looming, he didn’t want people to resort to killing and robbing each other. In his previous life, the descent of the Apocalypse had brought chaos, especially in other countries. In this life, he was simply doing what little he could. While he couldn’t prevent everything, he could at least nudge people toward doing good.
Because of this, Li Xiang’s prestige grew even greater. Many claimed he was worthy of the title "Saint." As for his dark history of "zero-dollar shopping," no one mentioned it anymore.
It wasn’t a dark history; it was the path that had brought Li Xiang to where he was. People grow, step by step. If he truly had no flaws, the world would have found him disingenuous.
Having flaws made him more down-to-earth, making him seem more real and even endearing.
...
Regardless, amid heated global debate, the vigorous, worldwide movement of mass Cultivation began.
However, there were no Extraordinary Particles yet, so many people who were initially interested gave up after just a few days.
But there were also some with resolute minds who practiced diligently every day, immersing themselves in it even without any progress.
When Li Xiang patrolled the globe and encountered these "seeds," he would first mark them, planning to check on them again in a few years.
He was at the Saint Tier of Cultivation, having ascended from Extraordinary to Saint. He could leave a small Spiritual Power imprint on a person, and they would be completely unaware.
Meanwhile, the Eastern Great Power demonstrated its broad perspective. Adhering to the principle of a united front for all humanity and gathering as much strength as possible, it shared its domestic plans and progress with the world, letting other countries "copy its homework." Many nations were envious and complained, "You guys are infrastructure fanatics, and you have Earth’s strongest expert helping you. Of course you have no problems. We can’t do anything even with the plans."
For some of the smaller countries, copying this homework was truly difficult—next to impossible, in fact.
Left with no choice, Li Xiang had to take action again. Using his Earth Ability, he helped these weaker nations build their Hive Underground Cities. However, he could only construct the rough shells of the nests; as for utilities like water and electricity, or interior furnishings, he was powerless to help.
Right now, his own country had its hands full and lacked the capacity to provide support.
They could only share simple thermal power generation technology, the kind used for small-scale power plants.
Li Xiang was already swamped just with building new underground bases around the world.
It wasn’t that he was a bleeding heart. Rather, one more ally meant one more partner to share the burden, which would reduce the pressure on his own country. This was a united front.
This was a time to set aside prejudices and cooperate with one another.
As Li Xiang assisted various countries in building their Underground Cities, he would naturally take the time to meet with local leaders wherever he went. These meetings were often widely covered by the media, becoming global hot topics.
Without a doubt, Li Xiang was the biggest superstar on Earth today. Many local beauties also threw themselves at him, but Li Xiang stopped fooling around, thinking to himself, ’I have enough women as it is.’
Under Li Xiang’s impetus, the Global Anti-Exotic Beast Alliance was formed, and more and more countries and regions began to join.
