My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

After conferring with each other, Jiang Cai'Er and Li Xiang launched a massive project: the Global Express.

Before, there had been a subterranean transportation network. Now, it was time to return to the surface—an event that over 70% of the world's internet users had been eagerly awaiting.

As the Master of Earth, Li Xiang could reshape terrain at will. It was only natural for him to take charge of constructing the foundations for all the routes, which would streamline the process considerably.

In the conference room, Jiang Cai'Er unfurled a three-dimensional model of Earth within a one-meter-diameter holographic projection. The planned routes of the golden maglev lines spread between the continents like a circulatory system.

Li Xiang closed his eyes, focusing his mind. The power of the Planet Dominator Realm made the planet's entire crust feel like highly malleable clay within his consciousness.

"The Ring of the Pacific Ocean line must be like a Giant Dragon coiled around the continental shelves."

At Jiang Cai'er's soft words, her husband followed her lead. The Ring of the Pacific Ocean maglev trunk line, spanning four continents, abruptly materialized:

It began at a tunnel entrance in the Andes Mountains, hugging the coastline as it swept past the observation station on Easter Island. When crossing the Bering Strait, a hundred-meter-high transparent protective dome was deliberately raised, allowing passengers to enjoy the sight of auroras dancing with glaciers.

In the Siberian permafrost, it split into three branches: the northern line ran through Murmansk directly to the Arctic Research City; the central line cut across the Sea of Okhotsk to connect with the Far East Industrial City; and the southern line snaked along the ruins of the Great Wall to the Ba-Shu Basin.

"The Europe-Africa Corridor will be a new bond for civilization."

With a light tap of Jiang Cai'Er's fingertip, another silver track of light erupted from the earth on the Pamir Plateau.

This trans-Eurasian maglev network blossomed like a steel flower at its hub in the Middle East: the main westward artery forked at Istanbul, with the northern branch following the Danube River to link Vienna, Berlin, and a suspended station beneath London's Tower Bridge. The southern branch, meanwhile, was laid along the Nile Delta, raising twelve honeycomb-shielded stations in the center of the Sahara Desert and finally connecting with the South Atlantic Undersea Tunnel at the Cape of Good Hope.

The most ingenious aspect was the design of the branch network—every three hundred kilometers, each main line would extend intelligent, octopus-like tracks.

These adaptive magnetic rails could adjust their angle in real time according to geological changes: some drilled into glaciers to form spiral lifts, others formed transparent ecological corridors above the Amazon Rainforest, and still others laid vacuum tubes along the Mariana Trench, allowing the trains to shuttle through the deep ocean at 2,000 km/h.

When Li Xiang opened his eyes, which swirled with starlight, the entire Earth let out a low rumble.

The permafrost of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau automatically churned into radiation-proof roadbeds. The lava in the East African Rift Valley was molded into a natural shock-absorption layer. Even the ice caps at the North and South Poles condensed into superconducting rails in the absolute-zero temperatures. Geological terraforming that would have taken decades was reduced to a fleeting wrinkle in spacetime by the will of the Planet Dominator.

When Li God took action, reshaping the very world, building the entire foundational network was a matter of about ten minutes.

Within a little over ten minutes, the entire design blueprint was precisely manifested upon the Earth, becoming reality.

As for the subsequent construction and operation, that was left to Jiang Cai'Er. It was her forte.

...

Once construction was complete, ordinary people could ride the maglev trains to tour the entire Earth in a single day, reaching nearly every Underground City under the flag of the C Country Federation.

More than 95% of the world's Underground Cities were now truly and rapidly interconnected. Furthermore, the routes were lined with countless robotic dogs, police, and spiders, as well as automated heavy machine gun turrets and automatic Laser Cannons, so security was not a concern.

In addition to the AI-controlled equipment under Jiang Cai'Er's command, there were also officially sanctioned squads of Extraordinary Beings in each location, responsible for maintaining order, responding to emergencies, and protecting the local peace.

And these squads of Extraordinary Beings were now all under Shen Wenqian's jurisdiction.

She had been the long-time leader of these Extraordinary Beings to begin with. That, combined with her new role, her personal strength at Tier Twenty-sixth (High Tier of the Saint Tier), and the fact that she was Li Xiang's cousin, was more than enough to command respect.

In fact, she was extremely popular. Shen Wenqian was now a massive celebrity with over a billion fans. Countless people pursued her every day, but she didn't give any of them the time of day.

Li Xiang's uncle and aunt weren't anxious, nor did they pressure her to marry. After all, Shen Wenqian was a Saint Tier being with a lifespan of several hundred years; she was still in her early days.

Once she stepped into the Divine Tier, her lifespan would extend to several thousand years. And while they were eager for grandchildren, they figured if it didn't happen, it didn't happen. In the era of the Extraordinary, perspectives on love and marriage had naturally changed, and even the elderly had adapted their mindsets to the times.

The launch of such a massive project naturally sparked heated discussions among internet users worldwide. The global maglev wasn't even operational yet, but many people had already started planning their itineraries, figuring out which routes to take and where they wanted to visit.

After all, riding trains underground was boring, with no scenery to speak of. This surface-level maglev, however, offered an endless panorama of landscapes.

The blueprints revealed that various tourist zones would be built along the routes. Artificial Little Suns and Artificial Little Moons would simulate sunlight and moonlight, respectively, bathing the surrounding attractions in a breathtaking glow.

Surface cities with distinct regional characteristics would also be constructed, gradually restoring the surface world to its former bustling glory.

And for a nation of master builders, a project of this scale was hardly a challenge.

With ample energy and machinery, construction began on all lines almost simultaneously, progressing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It even gave rise to a number of online influencers, who went viral by camping out and filming the construction's progress.

Once the project was completed, they transitioned into travel bloggers to continue chasing clicks.
