The spell's range covers the entire territory of China? Hand it over to the state.

Suburbs of Beijing, National No. 001 Disaster Resistant Breeding Base.

Everyone here is busy cultivating seedlings that can survive a disaster.

Chen Yan, Vice Minister of Agriculture, squatted on the edge of the No. 1 experimental field, holding a dying rice seedling in his hand.

The old man's hair was gray, and his back, which had originally been ramrod straight, had bent considerably in just half a day since the cultivation experiment began. He looked at the withered, shriveled seedlings with blackened roots in his hand, his expression grim.

"Minister Chen, stop looking."

The assistant, Xiao Zhang, handed over the tablet: "Director Liu just sent a message back from the highest-level meeting."

Chen Yan didn't take the tablet. Instead, he carefully buried the dead seedlings back in the soil, patted the dirt off his hands, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What did he say? Did he tell us to speed things up, or to replant the potatoes that didn't grow?"

"No..." Xiao Zhang's expression was a little strange. "Director Liu said the problem is solved."

Chen Yan froze, then abruptly looked up: "Resolved? The soil pollution is gone? Or the volcanic ash has dissipated?"

"No, nothing." Xiao Zhang shook his head: "Director Liu said that the mysterious big shot who released the Golden Great Wall can unleash a skill that will make the land across the country instantly grow crops. He said he'll start casting it soon and we should get ready."

"Grain will suddenly grow all over the country? Will it grow in our experimental fields too?"

"Yes, that's what Minister Liu said."

Chen Yan was taken aback.

He stood up, patted the dirt off his backside, and pointed to the wilted crops around him, saying, "I understand that the soil in Longxia is good now, so things can grow, but these experimental fields are land damaged by the disaster. How can they grow here?"

"In this experimental field, the photosynthetic efficiency is currently less than 10%, the soil has excessive heavy metals, and the pH is unbalanced. Even with the help of Class A professionals, we've worked so hard for so long but haven't achieved any results!"

Chen Yan looked incredulous: "If this could grow crops, I'd change my name to Chen Yan backwards! I'd eat the mud from this experimental field raw!"

The voice just fell.

The red lights in the base suddenly started flashing.

The alarm for abnormal instrument readings sounded with a sharp beep.

"What's going on? What's wrong?" Chen Yan instinctively ran towards the control room.

……

Kunlun Palace.

An ancient and desolate totem pole floated in front of Su Yun.

Unlike the previous plastic-looking pillars, this one has a warm bronze luster and is not carved with ferocious animal heads, but rather with ancient farming scenes.

Some people were practicing slash-and-burn agriculture, some were tasting hundreds of herbs, and some were teaching people to identify the five grains.

As the images shift, it's as if a river called "civilization" flows quietly along the pillar. The roots of Chinese civilization are not on the sword, but in the soil.

[Judging in progress... The talent "Territory is Territory" has intervened.]

[Approved. Current coverage area: 960 million square kilometers + territorial waters.]

[Skill level detected as too low, unable to match current range... Extracting historical context... Reshaping concepts...]

[Targets for selection: Shennong, Houji, Yuan Lao...]

[Extracted concepts: Food is the paramount necessity of the people, full granaries, bountiful harvest...]

In the void outside Kunlun Palace, a huge phantom vaguely appeared. It was an old man who had tasted all kinds of herbs, a farmer who tilled the fields, and the embodiment of countless people who had longed for food and clothing on this land for thousands of years.

The phantom slowly raised its hand, scattering a handful of golden light onto the earth.

[Skill mutation complete.]

[Sovereign Totem - Abundant Harvest]

[Description: Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, and Houji taught the people agriculture. This is the foundation of the state and the basis for all generations. Within our land, whether frozen desert or scorched wasteland, all are fertile fields.]

[Effect: Forcefully awakens the vitality of the soil, granting plants "conceptual-level" growth rights. Ignores physical limitations such as light, temperature, and soil toxicity. Growth cycle is shortened by 99.9999%, yield is increased by 1000%, and the produced crops possess extremely high nutritional value and a calming effect.]

[Current cost: 100 mana (already deducted), maintenance cost: 0 (due to the "Republic" characteristic, the cost is compensated by the nation's fortune).]

[Note: If I tell you to grow, you have to grow; even God can't stop you.]

Om-!

A bluish-green ripple, invisible to the naked eye, spread out from the Kunlun Palace, skimming the ground in an instant. It pierced through walls and mountains, sweeping across every inch of the 9.6 million square kilometers of land and territorial waters in a single second.

……

Base No. 001.

The technicians in the control room are checking various equipment.

"Director Chen! The monitoring device is broken!" the technician said anxiously as Chen Yan rushed in.

"What's wrong with it?"

"It's all broken! Look at this soil nutrient monitoring!" The technician pointed to the large screen, where the values ​​were a deep, purplish-red. "Just a second ago, the activity of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil suddenly increased ten thousandfold! No, this land has come alive! The soil's fertility is surging!"

"And this too! The plant growth hormone concentration is off the charts! The value... the value is overflowing!"

Chen Yan stared at the screen, which was completely red, his mind buzzing. Before he could even curse, he suddenly caught a strange sound in his ear.

rustling.

Shashashasha.

At first, it was very light, like a silkworm nibbling on mulberry leaves, delicate and gentle.

Then the sound grew louder, like dense raindrops hitting banana leaves, rapid and cheerful.

Finally, the sounds converged into a roar like a tsunami, like a symphony of countless lives cheering!

"What's that sound?" Xiao Zhang looked around in alarm.

Chen Yan remained silent.

He turned his head stiffly, as if struck by lightning, to look at the glass window behind him.

In that instant, the old scientist, who had spent his entire life working with the land, felt as if his materialistic worldview had been smashed to pieces by a sledgehammer, shattered beyond repair.

Outside the window, the No. 1 experimental field.

The withered seedling that he had just judged to be "certain to die" was now growing upwards like a madman in an extremely arrogant and unreasonable manner.

In the first second, the withered yellow faded, and emerald green burst forth.

It was a vibrant, almost overwhelming green of life, instantly dispelling the surrounding grayness and death. The seedlings, which were originally only the length of a finger, had grown to knee-high in the blink of an eye.

In the second second, it splits apart and grows.

Amidst the crackling sounds, this wasn't just plant growth; it was practically the Hulk transforming! Thick stems instantly shattered the surrounding hard soil, and green leaves, like sharp swords, pierced straight into the sky.

In the third second, the ears emerge, flowers bloom, and grains fill.

No sunshine?

The rice stalks themselves were glowing!

It was a faint golden halo, and each grain was becoming plump and round at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The life journey that would normally take three months was compressed into a mere ten seconds.

The tenth second.

The wind stopped.

The once gloomy and desolate experimental field has now been transformed into a golden sea.

The heavy ears of rice bent low, each one two or three times larger than ordinary ears, and the golden husks shimmered with an alluring luster under the supplemental lighting.

A unique, fresh aroma of newly harvested rice forcefully filled everyone's noses.
