Chapter 160: Successfully Completed
Zhou Yuan, concerned for the safety of the capital star system and Tianxing II, accelerated the process of using the secret power of the Imperial Fleet to continuously provide inspiration from various technological classics of the Du Kingdom.
When the messenger returned to Du Kingdom six months later, Du Kingdom, under Zhou Yuan's leadership, had become a highly developed nation. After nearly a year of development, Du Kingdom was almost at the beginning of the industrial age. The transportation of timber from the mountains, which used to be done by animal power and rivers, was now done by steam-powered trailers. The mining and refining of minerals had shifted from being entirely manual labor to semi-mechanized processes. Zhou Yuan continuously promoted the development of Du Kingdom's military, industry, science and technology, and education in accordance with the requirements of a highly industrialized era.
The Southern King's demand that Zhou Yuan and Aya get married as soon as possible has caused some reactions.
Since Wei Shan and Lefia were spending the evening with Zhou Yuan, they didn't want to end their intimate time too soon. Chu Xiaolu didn't seem to mind, and Aya remained silent, leaving everything to Zhou Yuan's arrangements.
Zhou Yuan sometimes felt strange. This Aya was quite different in personality from the Aya in the virtual form of the Earth Empire's butler AI. Both were smart and mischievous, but this Aya seemed more stable, or more accurately, she seemed more content with the status quo.
Zhou Yuan used the excuse of being busy with state affairs to delay, and Aya did not show any dissatisfaction or disappointment. Wei Shan and Lefia, on the contrary, felt quite embarrassed. This matter did not affect the relationship between the four women.
In the spring of the second year of the Du Kingdom, the Du Kingdom built a statue of Du Kingdom five kilometers away from Dadu. The statue was made of gold and glazed glass, modeled after the Southern Heavenly King, and was one hundred meters tall. The statue shone with divine light in the sunlight.
In the summer of the second year of the Du Kingdom, miracles occurred on the other four continents of this planet, in addition to the Zhou Kingdom continent.
In the morning, the people of the four continents were astonished to see a golden, radiant image appear at the sun. The image's head was at the center of the sun, and it depicted an elderly man with a benevolent face, stroking his beard, and with piercing eyes gazing down upon the earth. The illusory image remained at the sun for an hour, then slowly moved southwest and gradually disappeared.
People from all four continents prostrated themselves in worship. Various countries began to build temples in their respective regions to enshrine the statue of the Southern Heavenly King, and royalty and common people alike went to pay their respects.
The people of Du Kingdom were all in awe and submission, and naturally, Du Kingdom held a grand celebration.
The phenomenon of the Southern Heavenly King's statue being near the sun lasted for a year. During this year, devout followers gathered in groups to search for the statue's whereabouts. They persevered and finally reached the territory of the Kingdom of Du.
This group of devout followers, numbering over a hundred, were of orange race. Upon seeing the hundred-meter-tall statue of the Southern Heavenly King of Du Kingdom, they were overjoyed. They prostrated themselves with each step as they walked toward the towering statue. This was in the spring of the third year of Du Kingdom.
When these more than one hundred people were three kilometers away from the statue, something that made a buzzing sound and flew quickly like a bird appeared in the sky. It was incredibly fast, but much larger than a bird. In the distance, there was also a long object that looked like many large boxes moving quickly with a clanging sound. White steam was rising from the top of one of the boxes.
Then, a large number of yellow-skinned people resembling guards quickly spread a soft red cloth on the ground, all the way to the front of the worshipper. These guards, holding long metal "rods", lined up on both sides of the worshipper to welcome him. One group of guards even fired salutes.
It took the worshipper two hours to reach the 100-meter-tall statue, which was three kilometers away. A large group of officials were waiting near the statue. Among them was a tall and handsome man, who was clearly the leader of the group. Behind the leader were his four wives and concubines.
After bowing three times and nine times to the hundred-meter-tall statue, the Venerable One rose.
After they finished bowing, the man who looked like an emperor hurriedly walked up to them and said something to them, but they didn't understand and just gestured with their hands.
Zhou Yuan had probably anticipated this language barrier, and when he spoke fluent Bai Zun Zhe's words, the more than one hundred people were astonished.
What surprised the more than one hundred worshippers even more was that this so-called Du Kingdom was far more advanced than their own country. Later they learned that the big bird flying in the sky was called an airplane, the long box running fast on the ground was called a train, and the metal rods held by the guards were called guns.
The more than one hundred Venerable Ones received great honors from the Kingdom of Du, and they settled there, learning the language of Du and then studying the scriptures of Du.
Later, worshippers from other places arrived one after another, and they were all warmly welcomed and treated with courtesy by the emperor and people of the Du Kingdom.
In the four years since Duguo was established, more than 5,000 people have come to worship Duguo. Some of these worshippers have returned to their own countries to promote the culture and culture of Duguo and the paradise of Duguo. More devout people have flocked to Duguo.
In the fifth year of the Du Kingdom's reign, eight aircraft carrier fleets set off for the other four continents, with two aircraft carrier battle groups assigned to each continent.
After arriving on the mainland, these aircraft carrier battle groups will first quickly establish a base, and then erect a 100-meter-tall statue of the Southern Heavenly King.
On the Zhou Kingdom continent, a phantom image of the Southern Heavenly King appeared in the sun, plunging the emperors of the fourteen kingdoms, especially the Zhou emperor, into panic. However, ordinary people worshipped the image with utmost devotion.
The Southern Heavenly King's uprising directly overthrew the Zhou emperor and seized the throne for himself. He then waged war against the other thirteen states on the Zhou continent. With the assistance of industrialized troops subsequently dispatched by Zhou Yuan, the Zhou continent remained under his rule for eight years.
The Southern Heavenly King began to cooperate with Zhou Yuan and started to send troops to conquer the other two continents. In the summer of the tenth year of Du Kingdom, all five continents were under the control of the Southern Heavenly King and Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan later withdrew and handed over all power to the Southern Heavenly King.
What was given to the Southern Heavenly King was not only the unification of the world, but also an industrialized nation.
In just over ten years, Zhou Yuan fulfilled the prophecy of the "Heavenly Book," helped the Southern Heavenly King unify the world, and also industrialized the Du Kingdom within that time.
The five continents of this planet are slowly transitioning towards industrialization.
The Southern Heavenly King, now more accurately called the Heavenly King, on the day of his ascension to the throne, ordered the people of the five continents to celebrate for ten days. The country was named the Kingdom of Du, and its sole religion was the Du religion. Adding to the joy, Zhou Yuan married Aya and Chu Xiaolu!
It was Wei Shan and Lefia who comforted Zhou Yuan. Lefia, being more astute, argued that the Earth Empire's Clones' laws, which prohibited them from dating, marrying, and having children, only applied to Earth Empire citizens. They didn't explicitly prohibit intermarriage between Earth Empire Clones and humans from other planets. Imperial law only applied to those within the Empire.
Currently, neither Chu Xiaolu's home planet, Amos, nor Aya's home planet, Blue Planet, belongs to the Earth Empire. Neither Chu Xiaolu nor Aya are yet human. Therefore, there is absolutely no problem with Zhou Yuan marrying Aya and Chu Xiaolu. Lefia simply exploited a loophole in the Empire's laws.
Wei Shan and Lei Fia are in a different situation; they are Earth humans, so they have no name or status.
On their wedding day, Chu Xiaolu and Aya were naturally overjoyed, and Wei Shan and Laifia also offered their heartfelt blessings.
On their wedding night, the three of them were deeply in love, their passion intense and unforgettable. Chu Xiaolu, in particular, had her pent-up emotions erupt uncontrollably, and Aya was in a similar state. The three of them were up all night until dawn.
The next day, the five of them had breakfast. Wei Shan and Lefia teased Zhou Yuan about his panda eyes, while Aya and Chu Xiaolu remained silent, still savoring the madness of the previous night.
Zhou Yuan instructed the space fleet to contact Park So-yeon and remove the "light speed barrier".
When Lefia told Aya that she wanted to leave the Heavenly King, Aya's eyes widened.
"Sister Ya, isn't this place nice enough? Where should we go?"
Lefia looked at Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan nodded.
“Aya, we’re not strangers anymore, so I’ll just tell you straight: the four of us are aliens.” Lefia playfully made a face at Aya.
"alien?"
"Aliens, let me put it this way, the four of us weren't born on this planet, we were born on another planet. We don't belong to this world."
Aya was taken aback, then seemed to understand. "But those stars are so, so far away, how did you get here?"
"Hehe, we are 'divine messengers', you know."
"I understand now, that explains why there are airplanes and trains."
Aya reflected on the events and experiences of the past ten years and suddenly realized the truth.
"Aya, it's good that you understand. We're leaving this planet. Would you like to come with us?"
"Sister Ya, of course I'm willing. But Father is getting old..."
“Aya, you don’t need to worry about that. We will move this planet to a location near Xiaolu’s mother planet.” Zhou Yuan told Aya about the plan.
Aya was completely bewildered.
Chu Xiaolu stepped forward and took Aya's hand. "Sister Aya, don't worry. Big Brother and the others are very capable. Trust Big Brother."
"OK, all right."
Aya seemed to be in a good mood now, and became mischievous again, "Xiaolu, you always dote on your older brother, what will you do if he bullies you in the future?"
"My older brother bullies me the most, but I'm worried he'll ignore me."
The other three beauties burst into laughter, and the four of them joked and played around for a while before Zhou Yuan quickly stepped aside.
Zhou Yuan and his group of five immediately went to see the Holy Heavenly King.
"Is everything you're saying true?" The Heavenly King was still not quite convinced.
“Heavenly King, doesn’t the ‘Heavenly Book’ also say that the human race should come together? Wei Shan and I are from the same planet’s human race, Lefia is from another planet’s human race, and Chu Xiaolu is from yet another planet’s human race. It is the will of Heaven that so many races of us are coming together.”
The Heavenly King stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then nodded silently.
"Okay, I also want to see your so-called Earth Empire. Moving a planet, my god, I can't even imagine it."
"Thank you, Heavenly King."
"Xiao Zhou, you should call me Father from now on. You must treat Aya well."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Big Brother treats us very well," Lefia replied shrewdly on Zhou Yuan's behalf.
"Lefia, you're actually a princess? Really?"
The Heavenly King seems particularly interested in aliens and other planets now. Come to think of it, the entire planet is now under his rule, with all people living in peace and prosperity. He himself finds being an emperor somewhat boring, and when bored, one naturally seeks out something to do or some amusement. This can be seen in the several trips to the south of the Yangtze River by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty in Country C during the Earth Empire's Earth Era.
The Heavenly King ordered a widespread global propaganda campaign to announce that the blue planet would be relocated, so that the entire population could prepare themselves mentally for a brief period of darkness, and that there was no need to panic.
Moving planets? This was the first time any of the various races had heard of such a thing. Although they felt some fear and unease, they figured that since the Heavenly King had said so, everything must be alright. In their eyes, the Heavenly King was a god.
One week after the "light speed barrier" was lifted, the blue planet was projected into the vicinity of the planet Amos in the Tianxing-2 star system via hyperspace.
