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

The dark golden eye in the sky closed, and thirty dazzling golden beams of light, like an overturned galaxy, pierced through the atmosphere and crashed into the 9.6 million square kilometers of land in China.

Upon contact with the air of China, the energy dissipates as specks of energy.

The sarcastic remarks and mockery from live streamers around the world continue.

But the strange changes on Chinese soil left everyone dumbfounded.

Beijing, evening rush hour.

On the congested ring road, the impatient honking of horns suddenly subsided.

The sky, which had been filled with smog, instantly became clear and bright, and the azure sky brought a sense of relief to everyone.

The air was filled with a fresh, crisp scent, like that of a forest after the rain.

A cubicle at a major internet company.

Wang Qiang, a programmer who had been working overtime for three consecutive nights, was clutching his aching chest and preparing to write his will.

A faint golden light shone through the window and entered his brow.

The chest pain disappeared instantly.

He touched his greasy and thinning head in surprise, where stiff stubble was sprouting at a visible speed.

The once clear world has become blurry.

I subconsciously took off my glasses and wiped them.

The code on the screen was perfectly clear.

"Holy crap? My nearsightedness is cured???"

It wasn't just him.

The same thing is happening all over China.

"Holy crap! My nodules are gone!"

"My back doesn't hurt anymore!"

"The stinking ditch downstairs is clear now, and there are even fish jumping in it!"

Exclamations of surprise filled the streets and alleys.

Cervical spondylosis, sub-health, and fatigue that plague modern people can be completely eliminated in one minute.

1.4 billion people felt as if a warm current was washing over their bones, their breathing became long and deep, and their blood and energy were abundant.

.......

Inpatient ward of a cancer hospital in Shanghai.

The smell of disinfectant lingers here year-round.

Li Jianguo, a late-stage bone cancer patient lying in his hospital bed, has been reduced to nothing but bones.

The nurse is giving him a painkiller injection.

Golden light shone through the floors.

Li Jianguo let out a muffled groan, his shriveled muscles quickly bulged, and his pale skin blushed.

He pulled the IV needle out of the back of his hand, threw off the blanket, and stood steadily on the ground.

"Old Li, you..." The patient next to him stared wide-eyed.

"I don't feel any pain anymore." Li Jianguo clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking. "I feel like I could kill a bull right now."

The wheelchair was overturned in the corridor.

The elderly man, who had been bedridden for many years, stood up;

The firefighter with severe burns removed the gauze, revealing smooth, newly formed skin.

Death was forced to press the pause button on Chinese territory.

...........

Yanjing General Hospital, top-floor intensive care unit.

Guards stood every three steps along the corridor, their eyes bloodshot and fully armed.

Inside the ward, the ticking of the medical equipment sounded like a death knell.

An elderly man, as withered as a dead tree, lay on the hospital bed.

Zhou Yaoguo.

Commander-in-Chief of the three major war zones of China, a veteran general who once single-handedly broke through the encirclement on the border battlefield.

He is approaching the end of his life.

Multiple organ failure, extensive lung infection.

Two men and one woman were kneeling beside the bed; they were Zhou Yaoguo's children.

They bit their lips tightly to keep their sobs from escaping.

The attending physician looked at the continuously declining indicators on the screen and shook his head helplessly.

Zhou Yaoguo struggled to open one eye, his withered lips moving slightly.

The eldest son quickly put his ear to the ear.

"Don't cry..." The old man's voice was as faint as a whisper, like a candle flickering in the wind. "When the nation is in peril, soldiers... should die on the frontier. It is a disgrace for me to lie here."

He paused, a strong sense of resentment flashing in his cloudy eyes.

"It's a pity...we won't live to see China pull through. Tell the front lines...even if you have to bite them, you have to hold the gate..."

He let it all out in one breath.

The vital signs monitor next to me emitted a piercing long beep.

The electrocardiogram turned into a straight green line.

"Dad!" A suppressed cry suddenly burst out in the ward.

Just as the doctor was about to step forward to remove the instrument and cover it with a white sheet...

A blinding golden light shone from the ceiling.

A golden beam of light, several times thicker than the others, precisely enveloped Zhou Yaoguo's hospital bed.

"Beep—beep beep beep beep!"

The monitor, which had been blaring alarms, suddenly started beating wildly.

The straight green line suddenly rose, forming a powerful peak.

My heart rate jumped back to 60, 80, 100! My blood oxygen saturation soared to 100%.

The doctor was stunned.

The children's crying stopped abruptly.

On the hospital bed, Zhou Yaoguo's gray hair began to turn black from the roots.

The sunken eye sockets became full, the dry skin regained its luster, and the loose muscles reorganized and expanded at a speed that defies biological norms.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

Those were a pair of piercing, murderous eyes.

Thirty years ago, the Asura's Eye, which severed the head of a foreign enemy with a single blow on the border, returned to this body.

Zhou Yaoguo braced himself against the bed board with both hands.

"Bang!" The solid wood bed frame snapped.

He sat up straight, ripped out the breathing tube inserted into his throat, and pulled out the electrode pads from his body.

"What...what is this feeling?"

Zhou Yaoguo jumped off the hospital bed and stepped barefoot onto the cold tiles.

Clench your right fist.

Feel the power surging and roaring in your veins.

The blood and qi flowed like a furnace, and the heart beat like a heavy internal combustion engine.

"Commander!" The guards outside rushed in upon hearing the commotion, then froze in place.

The man before him was not a dying old man, but a vigorous middle-aged warrior in the prime of his life.

"I feel like..." Zhou Yaoguo took a deep breath of fresh air, his booming voice making the windowpane rattle, "...twenty years younger!"

He strode to the window and opened it.

Outside, the brightly lit city of Yanjing stretched out before them.

Countless people took to the streets, their cheers creating a sea of ​​sound that echoed through the sky.

Zhou Yaoguo turned to look at the broadcast screen on the wall.

On the screen, in front of the forbidden city gate, the eight people and a coffin stood quietly in place.

The old general suddenly stood at attention, his feet together.

"Snapped!"

A perfectly standard military salute was given across the screen to the eight village guards he had never met.

Two streams of tears slid down the cheeks of this veteran warrior.

Underground strategic command center.

The entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Minister Chen stared intently at the constant stream of briefings from all over the country, his hands trembling like leaves.

Water quality in Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan, has been completely purified, and mutated parasites have been eradicated!

The area of ​​windbreak forests in Northwest China has expanded by 300 kilometers on its own!

The recovery rate for critically ill patients in hospitals nationwide has reached 100%!

The average physical fitness indicators of the entire population have tripled!

Staff Officer Li, holding the tablet, spoke in a completely different tone: "Sir! It's not about forfeiting rewards... they've dedicated their lives and their futures to contributing to the well-being of 1.4 billion people!"

The dragon's eyes were red.

He finally understood.

These eight people do not need world-destroying superpowers, nor do they need techniques for achieving immortality.

They used their mortal bodies to shoulder the life-or-death struggle within the realm of national destiny, yet they bestowed upon the land behind them the immense fortune they had achieved.

"Proclaim this to the entire nation!" General Long drew his pistol and slammed it heavily on the table. "These eight men are the eternal teachers of China! Anyone who dares to utter a single word against them will be punished as a traitor!"

The external network has completely shut down.

Those foreign netizens who mocked the Chinese for being brainless became bloodshot with envy when they saw videos of Chinese people crushing bricks with their bare hands and running the 100 meters in under nine seconds posted on forums.

........

Bald Eagle Kingdom, Black Palace.

The president smashed the wine bottle in his hand to pieces, his face contorted in pain: "This is impossible! By what right! What exactly is this 'national destiny' thing?!"

Just as the global landscape was undergoing turbulent changes due to the transformation of China.

The dark golden single eye above the forbidden land of national destiny opened once more.

[Rest time over.]

[An abnormal surge in China's national fortune has been detected, triggering the dynamic difficulty balancing mechanism.]

The second round of the city defense battle is about to begin.
