Swallowing the Stars: I, the New Master of Babata

But compared to China... it lags far behind in both economy and military.

The once world's leading superpower has long since been overtaken by many others.

no way.

The only person in America who could stand up was Merhandson, and after the rise of Dongqing, he was even squeezed out of his position as the third elder of the Ares Palace.

However, Dong Qing cannot be blamed for this. Those who are not worthy of their position will surely suffer disaster. Before Dong Qing rose to prominence, Mohanderson, known as the Ice Emperor, was also hailed as the third strongest person in the world.

But any martial artist with a brain.

They would not accept this title.

Very simple.

Even though the world's third strongest person is not as powerful as others.

At the very least, one shouldn't be instantly killed.

But whether it was Hong or Thor, Merhandson, the Ice Emperor, couldn't withstand a single move.

Hong and Lei Shen, as martial artists, possessed their pride and were unwilling to compromise or hold back.

That's awkward, because they don't approve of you.

Claiming to be the third best in the world is just self-deception.

Later, when Dongqing rose to prominence and founded the Dharma Realm, he fought against Hong and Leishen one-on-one many times, engaging in head-on clashes and holding his own for a short period of time. This was a hard-fought victory that earned him the third-highest ranking in the world.

Although none of the three fought to the death, it is certain that Hong and Thor acknowledged Dongqing's strength, recognized him as the third strongest in the world, and believed that Dongqing was capable of contending with them.

"Your Majesty, Congress has approved the application to fully implement Chinese characters, and textbooks in schools across the United States have been updated and iterated."

Merhandson was speaking Chinese. In fact, even if he didn't promote Chinese culture, many people in most of the base cities in Europe and America would actively learn Chinese culture.

Without him.

The West has always adhered to the principle of the strong ruling the weak.

The era of martial artists further amplified this trend.

Second.

Whether it's Hong, the world's strongest, or Thor, the former world's second strongest, even if they don't consider themselves Chinese, as Chinese people, they are at least of the Eastern race.

After Dongqing rose to power, the worship of China and the fawning over foreigners became even more serious, and the bloodline advantage of the Eastern race was fully demonstrated, with more than 70% of the war gods being Easterners.

This is why India is one of the five major powers.

It's because they have a slight advantage due to their Eastern bloodline.

"This is a good thing. English is really inconvenient; we always have to create new words for new things."

"It's one thing to make mistakes, but if these new terms are not passed down, it can easily lead to a cultural break."

Dong Qing nodded. He could speak English and other Earth languages, but the most profound written language was Chinese characters, and every word and phrase could contain a story.

With just a simple combination of words, a text package can be formed. For example, the three characters "鸿门宴" (Hongmen Banquet) contain a piece of history and can be directly associated with many allusions.

"Lord Qingdi, what you said makes sense!"

Mohanderson didn't care about cultural discontinuity; the United States had been established for hundreds of years, and there wasn't much history or culture worth recording.

But the problem is that you can't do without learning Chinese. Without learning Chinese culture, you might not even be able to understand the secret manuals of the three giants of the earth.

The world's strongest man, Hong's World Destruction Technique, is an SSS-level gun technique. It is available in Chinese characters only, with no English version. Even if someone were to translate it into English, it would be difficult to practice it without getting stuck.

The Nine-Fold Thunder Blade of Thor, the third strongest in the world, is an SSS-level sword technique. It is available in Chinese characters only; there is no English version. If you don't know Chinese or Chinese characters, you are not even qualified to learn it.

As for Dongqing's Dharma Body, the second strongest in the world.

This is an SSS-level secret manual that every War God-level powerhouse must learn.

It's still in Chinese.

It's still Chinese characters.

If one chooses not to learn Hong's world-destroying spear technique, or Thor's Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, one can learn other unique martial arts manuals.

However, if one does not learn the Dharma Body, which can amplify, defend, buff, and cultivate, then one will be at a disadvantage from the start.

To date.

There is no substitute for the Dharma Realm founded by Dongqing.

Those who cannot manifest the Dharma Body are inherently inferior to others.

Even Hong and Thor.

They all learned the Dharma of Heaven and Earth.

Moreover, this was even when they knew Dong Qing had a backup plan.

Because if you don't learn the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, you will fall behind others.

.......

The next day.

Day 13, Seattle, USA.

The United States has four base cities: New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Chicago.

The population is relatively evenly distributed, with one base city and ten garrison cities covering a population of 100 million, and the total population is now around 400 million.

"Lord Azure Emperor, a Slime King has appeared in the outer area of ​​Seattle Base City. It is extremely hostile to humans, and it is a King-level monster that is about to become an Emperor-level monster."

"With the current strength of warriors and military power in Seattle base city, including nearby war bases, it is not enough to kill this Slime King. Base city is in danger of collapse."

The Planetary Security Defense Council's public officials include men and women, young and old, and people of all races.

The public officials standing before Dong Qing today are of European and American descent, typical blond-haired and blue-eyed people.

"King Slime?"

Dong Qing frowned. It's the era of the Great Counter-Offensive, how come America still has base cities dragging it down?

Look at India. Although it didn't have a high status in the past, it didn't fare too badly during the Great Counter-Offensive.

"Your Majesty, this is a special type of monster. It did not evolve naturally, but rather it was mutated through the fusion of various laboratory chemicals."

"Although the Slime King has little intelligence, it is filled with great malice towards the human species, and once it forms, it will actively attack humans."

Public officials of the Planetary Security Defense Council.

He meticulously reported on the Slime King's information.

"Where are the Merhandsen people?"

Dong Qing didn't let Mohandson follow him today.

Instead, he was allowed to continue dealing with the King-level monsters in various regions.

It's not that Dongqing didn't want to help.

However, there are some things that are difficult to help with.

Each king-level monster represents a large amount of cultivation resources.

Forcibly helping someone is tantamount to seizing their cultivation resources.

"Lord Qingdi, the Great Emperor is in Los Angeles base city and may not be able to get here for a while."

A public official from the Planetary Security Defense Council checked the information terminal in his hand.

Again.

The Planetary Security Defence Council is not the United Nations of yesteryear.

It is an organization with real power and military force.

It can mobilize the armies of the five major powers.

The satellites of the five major countries can also be deployed at any time.

That sounds outrageous.

But this is the era of martial artists.

Everything is based on force.

The Planetary Security Defense Council was established on the day it was formally founded.

This destined it to be an all-powerful Earth defense organization.

"Alright!"

Dong Qing shrugged and slowly said, "Since we're already here, we can't just stand by and do nothing. What's the exact location of the Slime King?"

Dong Qing had heard of some things in his previous life, but he never expected that slimes actually existed, or that there was a King of Slimes.

Fortunately.

Merhandson truly deserves the title of "Ice Emperor".

Born in Seattle, he has already cured many of his chronic ailments.

At the very least.

Slimes and Slime Kings are no longer everywhere; most slimes and Slime Kings today are a legacy of the past.

Furthermore, as the era of humanity's great counterattack progresses, the slimes and slime kings unique to America will gradually disappear.

"Lord Azure Emperor, the exact location of the Slime King..."
