Hearing Qin Ning's words, the high-ranking officials of Country Y all showed troubled expressions.
Obviously, they had always considered themselves superior to others. Now that they were being asked to submit, they naturally would not agree so easily.
Rumble...
Outside the castle, in mid-air.
Two armed helicopters were hovering, and fighter jets occasionally streaked across the high altitude, carrying small missiles.
This was the confidence these Country Y officials relied on to dare come and negotiate.
If anything unexpected were to happen to them, the armed helicopters and high-altitude fighter jets would inevitably launch a devastating strike against this York family castle!
"So noisy."
Qin Ning glanced out the window and snorted coldly.
Buzz!
Then, he simply pointed a finger into thin air.
The next moment, a massive explosion echoed out. Under the dumbfounded gazes of the Country Y officials, the two armed helicopters hovering outside the window and the fighter jets streaking across the sky instantly exploded on the spot.
How was this possible?
What did this Eastern youth in front of them just do?
Was he a god?
Everyone was horrified, their faces turning deathly pale.
They finally realized that the Eastern youth sitting before them was absolutely not an ordinary human!
"I... I... We choose to submit!"
A few seconds later, the King finally could no longer withstand the immense pressure in his heart. He knew very well that in the face of such an existence, if he did not bow his head, what awaited him would be true destruction!
"No, how can we submit to those Chinese?"
A high-ranking official spoke up with a face full of righteous indignation. "We are noble..."
Bang!
However, before his words could even finish, Qin Ning shot a single glance over. In the very next moment, this high-ranking official's body and soul were utterly destroyed on the spot. Before he could even let out a scream, he was reduced to a mist of blood, leaving not a single bone behind.
The King and the other officials were horrified once again, swallowing hard repeatedly.
They simply could not imagine what kind of terrifying existence this was.
Just a single look was enough to kill a man.
"From now on, Richard will act as my proxy in Country Y. You are to obey his commands. If there are any instructions, I will immediately convey them to him, and he will pass them on to you for execution."
"I will not interfere too much with the decisions of your Country Y's leadership, provided that things do not head in the wrong direction. Everything will continue as it is now. But if one day I find that any of you are unworthy of your positions, then I am sorry, but you can go explain yourselves to your so-called God."
After speaking, Qin Ning stood up and glanced at Richard again. "I will head back first. I will call you if anything comes up."
"Understood, Young Master Qin," Richard replied respectfully.
Swish!
The next moment, Qin Ning leaped into the air, flying high above the castle before completely vanishing from sight.
"Respected Mr. Richard, is this Young Master Qin... a legendary Eastern immortal?" the King could not help but ask.
"You wouldn't be wrong to call him an Eastern immortal."
Richard chuckled, his gaze sweeping over them one by one, and continued, "Don't think that submitting to Young Master Qin today is something shameful. Let me tell you the truth, being able to submit to Young Master Qin is something many people can only dream of. You will understand in the future. As long as you are obedient and listen well, there will definitely be no shortage of benefits."
Hearing this, the crowd became somewhat excited. The king asked curiously, "For example, what kind of benefits?"
Richard directly took off his shirt, flexing his muscles. "Look at my body now. It's incredibly tough; even machine guns can't kill me. Why do you think I suddenly became so powerful? Moreover, I'm not afraid to tell you, my current lifespan is at least five hundred years, and it will be even higher in the future!"
These words were not false. With Richard's current cultivation base, living for two hundred years would be a breeze. Coupled with the protective amulet given to him by Qin Ning, which had the effect of prolonging life, living to five hundred years old was absolutely no problem.
"A five-hundred-year lifespan!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.
One must know that for modern humans, reaching eighty years old was already considered a long life.
Five hundred years old?
They didn't dare to imagine how crazy that would be.
...
Huaxia, the capital city.
By the time Qin Ning returned here, it was already noon the next day.
Inside the cultivation base.
Elder Liu and Elder Zeng had also arrived here.
In the square ahead of them, thousands of people were gathered.
These people were not the soldiers training in the base under Wang Yousheng and Jiang Yunshan, but rather individuals who had been summoned from all over the country from last night until now.
They all carried some injuries to varying degrees. A small number of them were injured during training, but most had disabilities left behind from disaster relief efforts or carrying out missions.
"Elder Liu, you gathered us all here. Has some emergency happened?"
"Could it be that a war has broken out? If that's the case, Elder Liu, don't mind that we are injured or disabled. As long as the country needs us, we..."
Everyone's face was filled with confusion, yet at the same time, they bore a look of resolute determination.
Elder Liu smiled and said, "There is no emergency, and it's certainly not a war. The reason we called you all here is to provide medical treatment for you."
"Treatment?"
Hearing this, the crowd grew even more curious.
A retired soldier who had lost his right leg and was leaning on crutches asked, "Elder Liu, what do you mean by treatment? Does it include me too? My leg has been gone for so many years, how can it still be treated?"
"Could it be that the country has developed some black technology? Like bionic mechanical limbs? Are you going to install one for me?"
Hearing his question, Elder Liu chuckled, "You know, with our recent technological explosion, we actually have developed those things. However, we didn't call you here today to install bionic mechanical limbs. It is just pure treatment."
"Pure treatment?"
Hearing this, the soldier was even more confused. "How else can it be treated?"
At this moment, Elder Zeng took a step forward. "I know everyone is very confused. However, since we've called you all here, we are naturally prepared to tell you a few things. Let me just give a simple example. You didn't know about the existence of this cultivation base before, nor did you know what the comrades here are training in every day. Now, I can have someone give you a demonstration."
"Wang Yousheng."
"Here!"
Not far away, Wang Yousheng answered the call and jogged over.
"Give them a demonstration and open their eyes," Elder Zeng said.
"Yes, sir!"
Wang Yousheng responded loudly.
Then, he immediately drew his handgun and aimed it directly at his own chest.
Seeing this, the crowd in front of him was greatly alarmed.
Someone shouted, "Captain Wang, what are you..."
"Bang!"
However, before the person could even finish speaking, Wang Yousheng pulled the trigger without a moment of hesitation.
Following the loud gunshot, the bullet clattered to the ground, yet he remained completely unfazed.
A bulletproof vest?
Everyone had broken out in a cold sweat, and this was the very first thought that popped into their minds.
But right after, Wang Yousheng stripped off his shirt in front of everyone.
They saw that he was only wearing a thin tank top underneath. There was absolutely no bulletproof vest to be seen.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
