Chapter 874: Set Sail Alone!
The Global Union Conference lasted all the way until late afternoon. After discussing the details, the leaders of the various nations left Country Xia quickly to make arrangements in their countries.
The next day, all the leaders held press conferences one after another to explain the policies and details discussed during the Global Union Conference.
For instance, w.a.n.g Teng became the leader of Earth and Operation Wandering Earth.
Everyone on Earth soon knew about the brutal survival laws in the universe and that all hopes were on w.a.n.g Teng. They also learned that w.a.n.g Teng was going to make public the planetary-stage scriptures for the five basic elements to benefit mankind.
The entire world was in an uproar.
Everyone was grateful for w.a.n.g Teng’s contribution. If one walked along the streets, he would be able to hear people singing praises of him. He had become an international idol and hero!
1
The entire world considered him the sole savior of Earth!
No one could talk bad about him. If not, the person would be condemned and looked down upon by everyone. It was hard to imagine that there would be such hero wors.h.i.+pping in modern society.
But this was the reality!
w.a.n.g Teng’s reputation reached an unprecedented height.
…
The guy in question didn’t partic.i.p.ate in this process. He left them to the different heads of states.
The policies proceeded in full swing.
As for w.a.n.g Teng, he started to create the s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+ft Array. He gathered all the runemasters on earth for this purpose. A large amount of manpower and resources were needed to create an array that covered the entire planet.
This s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+ft Array also required a precious material.
s.p.a.ce stone!
s.p.a.ce stones were the main material for forging s.p.a.ce rings and other s.p.a.ce items. They were also essential in creating s.p.a.ce arrays.
w.a.n.g Teng didn’t have a better solution, so he asked the martial warriors from around the world to collect s.p.a.ce items and remove the s.p.a.ce stone stones from them.
Above the earth’s equator, w.a.n.g Teng floated in mid-air and spoke to the bunch of runemasters, “Are you guys clear about the task I a.s.signed to you?”
“Understood!”
“Don’t worry, Master w.a.n.g!”
“Yes, we won’t disappoint you!”
…
The runemasters were all 40 years old and above, but they were fighting to perform well in front of w.a.n.g Teng. All of them replied to him loudly.
“Very good. Time is tight. Let’s start immediately,” w.a.n.g Teng said sternly.
The group of runemasters immediately left in their battlecraft and headed to the area they were in charge of. Very soon, w.a.n.g Teng was the only one left behind. Round Ball’s voice appeared in his mind. “Getting s.p.a.ce stone stones out from s.p.a.ce items is a good idea. How did you come up with it?”
“This is the best method I can think of.” w.a.n.g Teng paused for a moment before saying, “Round Ball, thank you.”
Round Ball was the one who came up with the idea of registering Earth and Operation Wandering Earth. It also provided coordinates of the foreign s.p.a.ce and the s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+ft Array. w.a.n.g Teng had never left his home planet, so he didn’t know anything.
“Now you know my power.” Round Ball chuckled delightedly.
“Alright, you’re amazing!” w.a.n.g Teng was caught between laughter and tears.
Round Ball was overjoyed. However, it changed its tone and said sternly, “But you should settle your issues on Earth quickly and leave this planet. The Saint Star PaG.o.da will discover the strange happenings here very soon and send someone to investigate.”
“The Saint Star PaG.o.da is approximately 850 thousand light years away from here. They will need around two months to reach Earth even if they use a cosmos-level s.p.a.cecraft to travel through the universe.”
“Two months?” w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes s.h.i.+mmered. “I remember you telling me that we only need 36 days to reach the Great Qian Empire.”
“That’s right. Master Nangong came here once, so we have the shortest route recorded in our logs. We’ll be able to save time if we cross through a few wormholes. The E63 s.p.a.cecraft has better features than normal cosmos-level s.p.a.cecraft too. If not, we won’t be able to reach the Great Qian Planet so quickly. It’s far away after all,” Round Ball explained.
“That’s good. I’ll complete the array as soon as I can.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded.
“As long as you have a plan, everything will be fine.” Round Ball stopped speaking. The repair of the QY-E63 s.p.a.cecraft had almost come to an end.
Time pa.s.sed slowly.
Five days later, the s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+ft Array was completed.
In the middle of the night, a dazzling layer of light covered the entire planet as if it was protected by a mysterious s.h.i.+eld. However, only a few people saw this magnificent scene.
The next day, in Donghai, the leaders from around the world gathered again. There was a huge s.p.a.cecraft floating above the skysc.r.a.per. Below the building, w.a.n.g Teng was bidding farewell to his family.
“Son, do you have to leave?” Li Xiumei held w.a.n.g Teng’s hand. She didn’t want to let go.
He wasn’t going to another part of the country or overseas this time. He wasn’t going to the Xingwu Continent either. He was heading into the vast universe.
Alone.
As his mother, Li Xiumei didn’t feel at ease letting him leave.
“Mom!” w.a.n.g Teng called her softly. He couldn’t bear to see her like this.
“Alright, let him go. Our son is the hero of mankind. He’s leaving for the sake of the entire human race. We should be proud of him.” w.a.n.g Shengguo pulled Li Xiumei into his arms and consoled her gently.
“I don’t care if he’s a hero. He’s just my son,” Li Xiumei replied with tears in her eyes.
“Mom, don’t worry. Your son will never do things he isn’t confident in. These difficulties won’t stop me. It’s just a universe. I’ll take a little tour and come back safely in three months,” w.a.n.g Teng replied lightheartedly.
Biluo rolled her eyes when she heard his words.
He sounded extremely arrogant!
The universe was vast and mysterious. Even cosmos-stage martial warriors didn’t dare to face the universe with a casual att.i.tude. Yet this guy said that it was “just a universe.” He who knows not fears not.
Of course, she knew that he wanted to comfort his mother. But when she looked at his expression, she felt that he meant what he said. He wasn’t worried about the dangers in the universe at all.
w.a.n.g Teng bade farewell to the rest of the leaders.
“Be careful.”
“We’ll leave the rest to you.”
“Mister w.a.n.g Teng, have a safe trip.”
“Mister w.a.n.g Teng, we’ll wait for you to return with good news!”
…
The heads of states came forward and shook w.a.n.g Teng’s hand. Their handshakes were firm and their gazes were resolute as they looked at him. They seemed to be carving this extremely young hero deep into their minds.
No one cared about their race at this moment. All of them only had one ident.i.ty in their minds. They were an Earthling!
The Earth was a united planet!
w.a.n.g Teng glanced around him. He paused for a few seconds when he saw his family and then s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Lin Chuhan. He looked at her intently with guilt in his eyes.
“I’ll wait for you to come back,” Lin Chuhan moved her lips and whispered.
w.a.n.g Teng nodded. He moved his feet and rose into the air slowly. Then, he turned and stepped into the s.p.a.cecraft.
“Everyone, I’m leaving.” His voice echoed in the air with a hint of light-heartedness.
The cabin door closed, and the s.p.a.cecraft rose into the air swiftly. It turned into a beam of light, vanis.h.i.+ng in front of everyone. It left with the hope of the whole Earth.
“Take care of yourself!”
The leaders and the people close to w.a.n.g Teng raised their heads and prayed for him silently.
Ye Jixin stood on the roof of the Jixin Martial House in Donghai and stared at the ray of light with complex feelings. In the end, all his emotions compressed into two words, Take care!”
…
In another villa in Donghai No. 1 High School, Xu Jie, Yu Hao, and Bai Wei sat in the courtyard with a table full of wine. They were laughing and crying as they lifted their cups and offered a toast to the sky.
“Our best friend is leaving. He’s leaving with everyone’s hope.”
“Oh my G.o.d, we’re so useless. We can’t offer any help.”
“Brother Teng, take care.”
…
Dan Taixuan stood on the roof of a tall building in the Huanghai Military Academy with a bottle of wine in her hand. She took a large gulp. She didn’t send w.a.n.g Teng off, but she was also staring at the s.p.a.cecraft that had flown away at the speed of light.
“Little brat, come back alive!” A soft voice floated in the air. Dan Taixuan had already disappeared.
On the field in Huanghai Military Academy, Peng Yuanshan and Tong Hu led a bunch of students and saluted the s.p.a.cecraft.
“Everyone, send your senior off!” Peng Yuanshan said with red eyes.
“Yes!”
The group of military students shouted in unison with admiration in their eyes. Their voices soared through the clouds.
“Senior, we pray for your victory!”
