Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 557 Reclaiming Land and Building Islands: Behaving Kindly with Neighbors

On the evening of the same day, the evening news broadcasted the news that thirty Chinese astronauts had landed on the moon and that a temporary lunar base had been built.

[Our agency reports that, with the help of Taoist masters, Chinese researchers have successfully landed on the moon and completed the construction of a temporary lunar base.]

For this lunar mission, my country dispatched 30 researchers or engineers. The initial goal is to establish a fully functional large-scale lunar base within two months and achieve routine operation of the lunar base.

Experts predict that the operation of the lunar base will significantly promote research in space travel, exploration of lunar geological resources, biological cultivation experiments, and gravitational wave detection.

People around the world: ? ? ?
No, so Taoist masters can not only go up themselves, but also bring others up?

Did they not only bring people, but also an entire lunar base?

The news broadcast included several short videos showing not only the interior of the temporary lunar base, but also a glimpse of the base's exterior and a vast expanse of solar photovoltaic panels.

"I'm so stupid!"

"They said they'd successfully land on the moon in a few years, but how come they've already done it without a word?"

"They even sent thirty of them at once, aiming to build a large-scale base that operates regularly. It just sounds a bit strange."

"Call me the Prophet! I told you long ago that real people can pack up an entire telecom fraud park and take it with them. They can also land on the moon. Taking astronauts to the moon to build a base is a piece of cake!"

"That's so cool!"

Keywords such as successful moon landing, thirty astronauts, temporary lunar base, and unparalleled barbecue in space have once again topped the trending searches.

People in the summer have started an online frenzy, and public opinion in Europe and America has once again broken through defenses.

"Cheating! You bastards! This is blatant cheating!"

"Tianxia's engine technology is still far behind ours. If things proceed at the normal pace, they are still far from achieving the capability of a manned lunar landing!"

"All of this is because of those extraordinary individuals from the indigenous Taoist sects of Tianxia!"

"How did they acquire this ability? Why are they the only ones who have it? This isn't fair!"

"We strongly urge Tianxia to reveal the secrets behind the transformation of those Taoist superhumans into powerful beings; these are treasures belonging to all of humanity!"

"Keep dreaming. Other countries don't share their technological achievements either, so why should Tianxia disclose them?"

"How can that be the same? Technological achievements belong to private property. The power that the Taoist superhumans in Tianxia obtained was clearly not from their own efforts. Otherwise, why can't superhumans in other countries do the same?"

Now, through events such as landing on the moon, destroying the park, and eliminating typhoons, the self-conscious yet proud people of South Korea and Japan, as well as the people of Europe and America who have been subjected to a lot of brainwashing education, have all come to their senses.

In this world, extraordinary individuals are divided into two categories.

One type is the Taoist extraordinary individuals of Tianxia, ​​and the other is others.

Except for a small group of die-hards, the vast majority of ordinary people have already admitted that the superhumans in their own country are incomparable to the superhumans of the Taoist sect in Tianxia.

The Onmyoji and Citibank's Superpowered Special Agents are a joke; they haven't accomplished anything significant except for their performances on the internet and television programs.

Cherry blossoms are plagued by typhoons and earthquakes, while the United States is plagued by hurricanes and wildfires. They can't even predict disasters in advance, let alone provide disaster relief.

But while they acknowledged it, whether they truly accepted it was another matter. The sense of superiority brought about by centuries of dominance wasn't so easily erased; they still looked down on the Tianxia people deep down, believing that the extraordinary powers of Tianxia's Daoist practitioners were merely due to good luck.

For example, discovering something left behind by some extraterrestrial civilization that can grant ordinary people power.

In any case, they were unwilling to admit that this was the power of the extraordinary individuals of the Tianxia Daoist sect.

They believe that the secret to the power gained by Taoist superhumans actually belongs to all of humanity, and at least to themselves. If this secret falls into their hands, then the Superpowered Special Operations Bureau will dominate the world.

Therefore, they rightfully demanded that Tianxia reveal this secret that should belong to all mankind.

Well, strictly speaking, their guesses weren't entirely wrong, because the secret to the Daoist superhumans becoming stronger came from Gu Zhao, and the secret to Gu Zhao becoming stronger came from the Five Thunder Token.

Unfortunately, the Five Thunder Token only works on Taoist practitioners. Whether it's Yin-Yang Masters, sorcerers, or even cardinals and wizards from Europe and America, none of them are qualified to obtain the Thunder Seed.

Of course, if Gu Zhao were willing to take them to another world, given the concentration of spiritual energy there, these people would likely experience a leap forward. After all, becoming a superhuman in modern times is no easy feat.

Even if they don't reach the threshold of five hundred years of cultivation, cultivating for one or two hundred years is enough for them to roam freely in Blue Star society. At least ordinary security guards or even small groups of troops cannot pose a threat to them.

But will Gu Zhao take them there?

Ha ha……

Therefore, Western netizens can only react with impotent rage and stand on what they believe to be the moral high ground, ready to morally blackmail others.

Doesn't Tianxia win people over with virtue? Didn't it promise never to seek hegemony? Didn't it treat all countries, big and small, equally?

Since that's the case, in order to gain people's trust, let's reveal the secret of how superhumans become stronger!

"Meng Yuan wants a dedicated railway, and then we'll give them a piece of land in Tianjin Port for free. That would be a brilliant move."

"Annam wants to build a high-speed railway, and not only does it hope that Thienxia can provide a loan without interest, but it also demands to share the high-speed railway technology."

"In the automotive trade, we've been exchanging market access for technology for decades, but the Europeans haven't given us any technology. Now, when our new energy vehicles enter Europe, they're demanding that we transfer the relevant technology."

"Are you all addicted to dreaming?"

"We still don't have enough aircraft carriers, and our firepower isn't strong enough! Last time, the Type 055 fleet circled around the Kangaroo Islands and conducted a live-fire exercise in their coastal waters, and they behaved themselves."

"They should wake up when our aircraft carriers can sail right up to their borders."

"Unfortunately, we are too concerned about our image. We don't have bases overseas, so we don't have the capability for frequent long-range voyages. Moreover, building naval bases abroad is not in line with our national policy, which is a bit of a problem."

"It's not troublesome at all, as long as we don't take over other countries' land."

Some people on the internet have come up with some wild ideas: "If Shenhao Zhenren can bring a floating island back to China, and all the Zhenren can fly to the moon, is changing the terrain really that difficult?"
Leaving aside the deep sea, the real people piled up soil on the high seas to build a small island. According to the principle that whoever discovers the land first owns it, this small island naturally belongs to us.

"We can build a few along key straits and islands, or even extend them to the eastern coast of the Pacific, so we can directly greet those on the other side, promoting neighborly harmony and goodwill!"

Yunyang had just returned from the moon and was browsing news videos about the lunar base and himself on his phone when he came across this idea. Considering his current abilities, he realized that it wasn't impossible for him.

"Being kind to your neighbors, that's a good idea!" Yun Yang's eyes lit up. "We Taoist practitioners should encourage people to do good!"
