National Fate: Eight Yin Generals Guard China from Their Sleeping Coffins

The system's mechanical voice shattered the relaxed atmosphere of the Huaxia camp.

[The second round, fifth wave of the siege has begun.]

[Only 25 nations remain in the Blue Star surviving defense line; reward distribution phase begins.]

David lay on the edge of the sandpit, panting heavily.

A ball of light emitting a blue glow popped up on the tactics panel.

He scrambled over and pressed the ball of light into his chest.

The scorching energy travels throughout the body via the blood vessels.

A system notification sounded in his mind.

[Gained S-rank skill: Spatial Evasion. Allows for three short-distance dashes, ignoring physical collision.]

David clenched his fist, feeling the surge of power within him.

The frustration of being forced to self-destruct by the bugs just now vanished completely.

With this skill, he will have room to maneuver when he encounters monsters that can teleport.

If he can't beat them, can't he at least avoid them?

As long as they can survive, the United States still has hope.

Even the most skilled Chinese fighters will make mistakes.

If they make just one mistake, their defense will crumble.

David snorted, brushed the sand off his body, and stood up straight.

Japanese positions.

Tanaka stared at the reward panel in front of him and chose personal enhancement without hesitation.

[Acquired Rank A skill: Regenerated Alloy.]

A silvery fluid spread down his shoulder, enveloping his mechanical arms, which were pitted and corroded by the acid.

Accompanied by a tooth-grinding metallic scraping sound, the blackened parts began to be reassembled and repaired.

Tanaka wiggled his newly grown metal fingers, the joints making a crisp clicking sound.

He glanced at the corpses of civilians beside him, gnawed to the bone by insects, but felt no emotion whatsoever.

What does it matter if a few civilians die, as long as he can live?

The Japanese high command must think the same way.

As long as he continues to grow stronger, he will one day be able to trample the Chinese people under his feet.

On the front lines of the Russian Empire, Dmitry, clutching his bleeding left eye socket, chose the reward.

A chilling ice crystal eyeball appeared out of thin air and precisely embedded itself in his eye socket.

[Gained A-rank skill: Ice Crystal Eye. Can see through invisible units and applies a slowing effect.]

Dmitri turned his left eye, and his vision became clear again; he could even see the energy trails flowing in the air.

In Singapore, the blind awakened one, Levi, held a ball of light in his hands and chose the "spiritual barrier".

A thin, pale blue film spread out over his skin, enveloping his entire body.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

With this shield, he no longer needs to rely on his senses to dodge attacks.

His absolute defense within a ten-meter radius was enough to withstand the next wave.

On the global public channel, foreign netizens began to flood the screen with comments.

David's spatial dodging is amazing! Now we don't have to worry about being flanked anymore!

Tanaka's recycled alloy is also very useful; as long as you don't get instantly killed, you can keep fighting!

Dmitri's Ice Crystal Eyes are practically the bane of assassins!

[Levi's shield looks very thick; Singapore is saved!]

The rewards this time are specifically designed for the monsters from the previous wave; the system is being fair.

[If we can weather this storm, our country's athletes will definitely get stronger and stronger!]

[The Chinese are all about showing off. Wait until they encounter a truly formidable enemy, then let's see what they can use to stop them!]

Our Western supernatural abilities system is the most scientific; those feudal superstitions of China won't go far!

[God help us, please don't let the next wave of monsters have spatial abilities!]

Don't panic, everyone! We still have a chance to win!

The Chinese front.

Chen Xiao walked up to the floating golden panel, didn't even glance at the options on it, and swung the iron hammer in his hand, smashing it down.

"Bang!"

The bare panel shattered into countless golden specks of light.

[The Chinese player has forfeited personal enhancement for the twelfth time.]

[System supplementary rules have been triggered; the bonus coefficient for forgoing personal rewards and converting them into national fortune has been increased to 1.5 times.]

[China's national fortune increased by 60%.]

[The cumulative percentage of China's national destiny's essence has exceeded 420%!]

[The fourth stage of civilizational leap has begun!]

The moment the system announcement ended, a golden beam of light with a diameter of over ten thousand meters crashed down from the top of the sky, piercing through the entire map of China.

This is not an illusion of light and shadow, but pure spiritual energy so concentrated it's almost liquefied.

Fine, golden dust began to float in the air throughout China.

These light dust particles are unaffected by gravity and drift leisurely in the streets, forests, and above the city.

An ordinary person only needs to take one breath to instantly expel the stale air from their lungs and feel full of inexhaustible energy.

Yanjing, the training base of the Dragon Soul Special Forces.

Captain Zhao Lie sat cross-legged in the center of the training ground, surrounded by hundreds of fully armed Dragon Soul members.

Golden dust settled on Zhao Lie's shoulder, seeping into his body through his pores.

Zhao Lie suddenly opened his eyes, and a thunderous roar came from his body.

His original barrier of being stuck at the peak of the Grandmaster realm was directly shattered by this tyrannical national fortune spiritual energy.

"break!"

Zhao Lie roared, his body leaping into the air and soaring into the sky.

He hovered at a height of 1,000 meters without any external assistance.

The spiritual energy within his body flowed through his meridians and condensed behind him into a golden dharma image that was ten meters tall.

This is the Nascent Soul realm!

Its spiritual energy emanates outwards, forming an independent array.

Zhao Lie raised his right hand and pressed it down on an abandoned alloy target mountain below.

The golden Dharma image behind him made the same movement.

A golden palm print, about the size of an acre, descended from the sky and slammed hard onto the target mountain.

"Boom—"

The entire target mountain, constructed from high-strength alloy, was slammed into an iron disc by this single palm strike, and the ground even caved in more than ten meters, forming a huge palm print crater.

The Dragon Soul team members around them were dumbfounded.

With that kind of destructive power, a single slap could wipe out an entire heavily armored battalion.

The fact that a single individual's combat capability is comparable to that of a modern brigade is not just empty talk.

At the same time, hundreds of Grandmaster-level Awakeners within China all achieved breakthroughs.

Hundreds of golden Dharma images appeared in mid-air across China, shocking everyone.

Northwest Gobi Desert, underground experimental base of the military's psionic research institute.

Minister Chen, dressed in protective clothing, stood behind a massive bulletproof glass wall, his eyes fixed on the testing ground inside.

In the center of the testing ground stood an ordinary private.

He was wearing a set of silver-gray power armor that had just come off the production line.

The armor was covered with intricate spiritual energy array patterns, and a fist-sized spiritual energy compression core was embedded in the chest area.

"First-generation aura-powered battle armor, testing initiated."

The researcher's voice came through the loudspeaker.

The private pressed the start button on his waist.

The spiritual core in his chest instantly lit up with a dazzling blue light, and the array patterns were lit up one by one.

The soldier bent his knees slightly and leaped upwards.

Without a running start or any jumping equipment, he soared directly to the top of the 50-meter-high experimental cabin.

While in mid-air, the soldier drew his standard-issue longsword from his back and slashed down at a half-meter-thick homogeneous steel plate in front of him.

The surface of the longsword was coated with a layer of high-frequency vibrating spiritual energy.

"Sizzle—"

The steel plate was split in two, with a perfectly smooth cut.

Minister Chen slammed his hand on the glass, then turned to look at the chief engineer beside him, the sound deafening.

"What is the cost? Can it be mass-produced?"

The chief engineer held the data board, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

"The cost is less than one-tenth that of a main battle tank! As long as there are enough spiritual energy cores and the production line is running at full capacity, it can equip three army groups a month! Wearing this armor, an ordinary soldier who hasn't awakened his powers will instantly have his combat strength skyrocket to the Innate Realm!"

Minister Chen gasped.

The entire population is mobilized for war, and all of them possess extraordinary combat capabilities!

If this were taken to an international battlefield, let alone fighting, just standing there would be enough to terrify the enemy.

The shock goes far beyond that.

A secret shipyard in the East China Sea.

The massive dock dome slowly opened.

A 300-meter-long, dark-colored, streamlined warship slowly rose into the air, propelled by an anti-gravity engine.

On both sides of the ship, hundreds of spiritual energy secondary cannons are densely arranged.

At the bow, a spiritual particle main cannon with a diameter of over ten meters emitted a chilling, eerie blue light.

"Kunlun, all systems have completed self-checks, and the spiritual energy reactor is operating at 100% power."

"Main gun charging test begins."

A beam of deep blue light shot into the sky, piercing through the thick clouds and heading towards the abandoned satellite target outside the atmosphere.

Three seconds later, the red dot representing the target on the radar screen disappeared completely.

Theoretically, its range covers beyond the atmosphere, ensuring a precise hit and instantaneous vaporization.

The first spirit-powered warship has been officially launched!

The chat room in Huaxia's live stream erupted in a frenzy of excitement.

[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! I just saw a giant, gleaming golden light fly over our neighborhood!]

[That's the Dharma form of the Nascent Soul Realm! My older cousin works in the military region, and he said their commander just broke through and flattened a mountain with a single slap!]

[The aura-powered armor is out! I just saw a test video posted on the military website; ordinary soldiers wearing it instantly become superheroes!]

[Warship! Look over in the East China Sea, there's a black warship flying in the sky!]

[The Kunlun! That's China's first spiritual energy warship! Its main guns can reach outer space!]

[What's the point of fighting a war for national destiny? Let's just wipe out the entire universe!]

[Were those foreign devils just bragging about their personal enhancements? Can David even dodge a particle cannon with that teleportation?]

[That piece of junk Tanaka is worse than the scraps from our power armor!]

[Still figuring out how to fight bugs? We've already entered the interstellar age!]

[Our ancestors were awesome! The Eight Generals of the Underworld were awesome!]

Long live China!!

Yanjing Strategic Command Center.

The big screen displays various breakthrough data in real time.

Number of Nascent Soul Realm experts: 152.

Number of Innate Realm Awakeners: Exceeded 20 million.

Spirit Armor Production Line: Three lines have been started.

Kunlun-class warship: Entering combat patrol status.

Zhou Yaoguo stood in front of the holographic sand table, his hands behind his back.

He looked at the dazzling golden light representing the map of China, and a rare upward curve appeared on his usually serious face.

Staff Officer Li walked over with a tablet in his hand, his voice filled with suppressed elation.

"Sir, all data has been verified. Our current military strength has completely transcended the scope of conventional weapons."

Zhou Yaoguo nodded and turned to look at all the officers in the hall.

"The footage of the Kunlun taking off, along with test videos of the powered armor, was forcibly pushed to the networks of all countries around the world through the Skynet system."

Staff Officer Li paused for a moment, then stood at attention and saluted.

"yes!"

Zhou Yaoguo turned his head back and looked at the ugly scene on the screen where David and Tanaka, those foreign players, were still gloating over their personal enhancements. He sneered.

"It's time to let these frogs in a well see the world. We are already an invincible civilization on this planet."
