The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

These words were spoken.

In the live stream, countless viewers felt their hearts skip a beat.

I can't hold on much longer.

The Dragon King has sat on his throne for five thousand years.

Those legendary figures may have been guarding certain places for five thousand years.

Now, Chen Ping tells them.

Our ancestors were about to give up.

Chen Ping suddenly looked up, his voice rising abruptly.

"Can we, the younger generation, just stand by and watch our predecessors suffer on the front lines?"

Can we truly enjoy this eternal peace that our ancestors have fought so hard to maintain?!

The few comments paused for a moment.

Followed by.

Like a flash flood bursting its banks.

Countless viewers, with tears in their eyes, typed out the same sentence at the same time.

【cannot! 】

【cannot! 】

【cannot! 】

……

The dense text of "cannot" almost flooded the entire live stream room.

As Chen Ping looked at the screen full of replies, his eyes gradually reddened.

He is the director of Bureau 749.

He knew he couldn't lose his composure.

But at this moment, he still couldn't completely control himself.

He looked at the camera as if he were looking at the ancient Dragon Kingdom ancestors who died in battle, guarded the city, or remained silent and nameless five thousand years ago.

His voice suddenly lowered.

"The predecessors of the Ancient Dragon Kingdom."

"Our ancestors."

"Can you see it?"

"We have not forgotten you."

"Your contributions have not been forgotten."

"We have not forgotten your contributions."

"No, not at all..."

Chen Ping clenched his teeth tightly.

The next second, he practically roared out his last sentence.

"You've lost your fighting spirit!"

On the playground of Jinling Wuzhong School.

Everyone was straining to look up.

That way, tears won't fall so easily.

They have students all around them right now.

Some of them are teachers.

Some of them are soldiers.

Yet, in the mouths of their descendants five thousand years later, they share the same identity.

The ancestors of the ancient dragon kingdom, their forefathers.

"Everyone!"

On the high platform, Ye Long suddenly roared.

"stand at attention!!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

For an instant.

Everyone on the playground stood up straight at the same time.

Even Ye Chuhao pulled Xingyao to her feet.

Xingyao's eyes were red, and her fingers were still clutching the hem of his clothes.

The two of them looked towards the high platform.

Ye Long's voice boomed, echoing throughout the entire Jinling Martial Arts School.

"Gentlemen!"

"It seems the war won't end in our generation."

"We even want our descendants five thousand years from now to clean up the mess for us!"

His gaze swept across the playground, over Class 9, and over those young students who had never truly seen a battlefield.

Answer me!

"What should we do?!"

next second.

Countless sounds exploded out.

"Let war and suffering end in our generation!!!"

The students waved their arms, the soldiers gripped their rifles tightly, and their roars almost shattered the entire parade ground!

Only in the corner of Class 9.

Yan Cong looked at the group of passionate young men and warriors full of fighting spirit around him and shrank back.

His voice was so soft that almost no one could hear it.

"What's so good about fighting...?"

"People will die, and it will hurt."

"In the end, not one or two of them came back..."

Ye Chen was standing next to him and heard those words.

He glanced at Yan Cong.

Yan Cong lowered his head, as if his previous comment was just a casual remark.

But a thoughtful look flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

Within the canopy.

Chen Ping lowered his salute.

He had regained his composure, and his voice returned to its steady tone.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"The golden dragon logo in the upper right corner of the live stream is the Dragon Soul Project officially launched by the Dragon Kingdom today."

"This program will select and allocate participants based on their profession, skills, physical condition, mental resilience, and aptitude for spiritual practice."

Applicants will be divided into different sequences.

"These include positions such as frontline reserves, exploration of ruins, logistics and transportation, and medical rescue."

Not everyone needs to go to the front lines.

"But everyone can be a part of preserving humanity."

Chen Ping paused for a moment, his voice solemn.

"I, Chen Ping, hereby guarantee this."

"Those selected for the Dragon Soul Program will be provided with training, medical care, pensions, family resettlement, and lifelong protection by the state."

"The basic allowance shall not be less than 30,000."

"Ten insurances and ten funds will be implemented simultaneously."

"If any point is deducted at any stage, Bureau 749 will investigate thoroughly!"

As soon as those words were spoken...

In the live stream, many people were breathing heavily.

This is no longer just a call to action.

This is the country placing its responsibilities before everyone.

You dare to go?

The government is willing to cover the losses.

Chen Ping's gaze was firm as he continued:

"Gentlemen."

"Our ancestors protected us for five thousand years."

"We, the younger generation, cannot disgrace them!"

The words fell.

There weren't many grand pronouncements in the live stream.

The audience simply raised their hands and pointed to the golden dragon logo in the upper right corner.

next second.

……

The system prompts are getting faster and faster.

It's getting denser and denser.

In the end, I could barely make out the names anymore.

In just a moment.

The number of applicants has exceeded 100 million.

Subsequently, 200 million.

Five hundred million.

Billion.

The numbers are still jumping wildly.

Millions of people click to register every second.

Chen Ping stood in front of the screen, watching the data in the background surge rapidly, his eyes darting around in a turbulent manner.

finally.

The number of applicants reached 2.53 billion.

The moment that number appeared, the entire live stream went silent.

Chen Ping took a deep breath.

Because he knew exactly what that number meant.

Today's Earth is no longer the golden age recorded in ancient books.

Over the long course of time, natural disasters, and the disruption of civilization, the population plummeted from its peak of over 70 billion to 8.6 billion.

At this moment, the peak number of online users is only slightly over 2.6 billion.

With over 2.53 billion registrations, it's almost equivalent to everyone who could watch the live stream pressing that button.

There are people from China among them.

There were also people from other countries on Earth.

After that catastrophe five thousand years ago, the old kingdoms collapsed one after another.

Only the ancient Long Kingdom preserved the last spark of civilization, and over the long years it migrated outwards, differentiated, and rebuilt.

Later, the world had different country names again.

Different systems.

Different beliefs.

They all believed in the saying "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?" and no one was willing to put themselves behind anyone else.

They never considered themselves to be anyone's vassal.

But at this moment.

National borders, languages, ideologies, and old disputes were all temporarily set aside by them.

Because they finally realized it.

Deep within their own bloodlines flow the blood of the same ancient dragon kingdom.

They are of the same lineage.
