My past life exposure shocked the entire internet.

The girl was tall and slender, wearing a dark blue long dress made of brocade.

Her wide sleeves trailed on the ground, and the silver threads at the cuffs resembled moonlight pouring down from the heavens, casting a dazzling glow across the ground.

The collar of the pipa-shaped dress was adorned with coral buttons, which accentuated her fair skin.

All of her clothes were products launched by Wantianqing Company.

But the girl's eyes and brows were so stunning that they completely overshadowed the brilliance of her clothes and jewelry.

All eyes were focused on her, only her face was visible, and the string of jade earrings adorning her ears was completely ignored.

There is no luxury item more expensive than this face; luxury items paired with her would instead become a form of social climbing.

"..."

The entire press conference was silent, and there was no activity in any of the major live streaming rooms around the world.

Ye Wanlan took the microphone from Fang Qingli's hand with composure: "It is my first time meeting you all in a formal setting. Let me introduce myself. I am Ye Wanlan. My name comes from an ancient Chinese saying, 'To turn the tide when all hope is lost.'"

Her casual introduction reminded Yu Xiheng of how Si Fuqing had once introduced herself in the same way—

"Let me introduce myself. I am Si Fuqing. My name means 'to save a collapsing building.' You can trust me. I guarantee you with my life."

It must be said that they were indeed sisters who were inseparable in life and death.

They are not related by blood, yet their bond is closer than any blood relation.

Si Fuqing sighed.

Yu Xiheng tilted his head: "Qingqing, what's wrong?"

"I came in such a hurry, I wanted my sister to wear the clothes I designed." Si Fuqing rested her chin on her hand. "My sister really likes dresses."

Yu Xiheng smiled: "There's plenty of time in the future."

Si Fuqing nodded: "That's right, there's still a lot of time ahead."

The scene remained silent for a full three minutes before someone finally came to their senses.

[Holy crap, Ye Wanlan???]

Who is Ye Wanlan again? That name sounds familiar; I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.

[A student from Yunjing University, a top scorer in the college entrance examination, and she even helped the archaeological center of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage find a lot of cultural relics! She disappeared for a year, and I had almost forgotten about her, but then she came back and dropped this bombshell?]

[Wantianqing was established a few years ago, when Ye Wanlan had just come of age, right?]

[Hiss... I only guessed that Wantianqing Company must have been founded by people from China, but I thought it should be run by someone of Quan Zhaoning's age, an older generation. You're telling me it's run by such a young girl?]

The combination of "young" and "woman" always attracts strange looks and discussions when achievements are made.

Phrases like "virtue not matching one's position" and "using one's looks to please others" have been common since ancient times.

Even after Quan Zhaoning inherited the Zhaoyan Group, she was met with a barrage of criticism, with people saying that she had stolen her brother's right to inherit the company.

But now, there is nothing unusual, nor are there any dissenting or questioning voices.

Nothing more than that, because it is powerful.

Ye Wanlan is too powerful, powerful enough to completely suppress these voices.

She stood at the highest point, the pinnacle of the world, while those who only vented their anger with insults were forever trapped at the foot of the mountain, unable even to climb up.

"I am very happy to meet you all again after everything has been peaceful." Ye Wanlan slowly said, "You are probably wondering why I chose the name Wantianqing. In addition to incorporating my sister's and my names, it is also because at that time, China's intangible cultural heritage was in imminent danger."

There was silence in the audience.

"Culture is the root of a nation and the core of China's enduring strength since ancient times," said Ye Wanlan. "It is absolutely unacceptable for anyone to want to destroy Chinese culture and make China disappear from the long river of history."

In order to make Global Center replace Shenzhou, Lan Wanye not only focused on technology and economy, but also on culture.

If you can steal it, then steal it.

What you can't take away, destroy.

Whether it's the Suzhou embroidery inheritor being involved in a car accident or the decline of Kunqu Opera, there are behind-the-scenes manipulators pulling strings behind the scenes.

The reason why China has stood firm for five thousand years is because its culture has never been interrupted and the bloodline of its people has never been broken.

"So the meaning of 'saving the heavens' is—" Ye Wanlan said softly, "When the heavens are about to collapse, it is one's duty to save them."

"..."

It remained deathly silent.

Everyone was shocked by Ye Wanlan's words.

These ten simple words contain unparalleled power.

What a powerful statement: "When the heavens are about to fall, I am willing to save them." What a powerful statement: "It is my duty to do this."

“Three hundred years later, Xiao Yongning is still so surprising.” Yan Shunhua raised an eyebrow. “No wonder he was the former crown prince.” “Of course, how bad could my niece be?” Xiang Qingtian said proudly. “Although our Xiang family is not exactly virtuous, we have always acted uprightly and honestly, and have a clear conscience from beginning to end.”

Hejia crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and looked at Ye Wanlan under the spotlight.

What a wonderful feeling.

Three hundred years later, China had changed so much that it was completely unfamiliar to him.

But in reality, the familiar roots haven't changed.

Every generation of Chinese people strives to live their lives, regardless of how times change.

"In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to announce some good news to everyone." Ye Wanlan smiled, "The Apocalypse Codex has been found and is stored in the Yunjing Museum. A portion of the manuscript will be exhibited in a month."

This statement caused a sensation both at home and abroad!

[The Apocalypse Ceremony?!]

[Did I hear that right? Is it the "Tianqi Encyclopedia" that the founding emperor ordered to be compiled? Wasn't it lost long ago?]

My God, there's a huge, shocking story hidden here!

[Can we afford not to keep it hidden? Not to mention the Global Center, even the Northern Continent and the Starman Federation Empire are eyeing us covetously. If we reveal the news of the "Apocalypse Ceremony" before we have sufficient equipment, we'll be guilty of possessing a treasure, and we won't be able to protect it!]

[Holy crap, does this mean our current equipment and capabilities are incredibly strong? Even the Global Center can't do anything to us now?]

The loss of the Tianqi Grand Code is a great loss to the history of China.

Many archaeologists and historians lamented that they wished they could travel back 600 years to preserve the "Tianqi Encyclopedia".

"Thank you all for coming," Ye Wanlan said in closing. "Next, please enjoy Wantianqing's latest product series, Fluorescent and Radiant."

She left the stage, but the reporters and audience remained deeply moved for a long time.

“Sister!” Si Fuqing said, her hands behind her back, her long hair bouncing over her shoulders, “I’m proud of you.”

Ye Wanlan hugged her: "Me too."

"What are we going to do now?" Jun Muqian yawned. "Filming?"

Ying Zijin said, "Okay."

“Then let’s go.” Ye Wanlan nodded. “A TV series co-produced by four worlds will surely be outstanding.”

Si Fuqing: "Let's go!"

"Let's go," Fu Yunshen said unhurriedly. "If we're even a second late, we'll be left behind."

Clearly, he is very experienced in this matter.

Before he could finish speaking, the other three men had already followed him with remarkable precision.

Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow and slowly walked forward.

It seems like it's going to be another novel journey.

He was looking forward to what would happen on this journey and the people he would meet.

The eight people boarded the space carrier again and headed towards the direction of the primordial universe.

"Drip drip!"

Suddenly an alarm sounded, but there was no information displayed on the screen.

Si Fuqing poked her head in: "Aying, what's going on?"

Even if all eight of them were together, not to mention that even if only one of them were picked out, no fool would dare to attack them.

“No need to worry, it’s just a greeting from afar.” Ying Zijin smiled thoughtfully. “It seems our help has been effective.”

Ye Wanlan and Jun Muqian exchanged glances for the first time: "Director of the Time Management Bureau?"

The flow of time is completely different in each world. Perhaps one second on Earth 723 is equivalent to one year in another world.

“Yes,” Ying Zijin said. “She said thank you and that she will join us in the near future.”

Ye Wanlan pondered, "Has she already survived the world's calamity?"

“It’s uncertain, but she has already seen what will happen in her future life,” Ying Zijin replied. “This message is actually a mental echo of her thoughts. She herself may not know about it, because when we gave her the gift earlier, I needed to make sure she received it.”

Si Fuqing suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. No wonder we couldn't see the news, and only A-Ying knew about it."

Jun Muqian asked, "Is that all? Is there any other information? Where is she now? Is the situation difficult? When can she return to the Time Management Bureau?"

“Yes, she told me her name, her name is—” Ying Zijing slowly opened her eyes and slowly said three words, “Shi Changying.”

With a long spear in hand, I bind the azure dragon.

We will meet again in the near future. (End of Chapter)
