Only Luo Feng thought of the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual" discovered on Earth.
The Yan God Clan and its Earth lineage were actually created by the same person.
What about the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual"?
Seeing that everyone said they would make the arrangements themselves, Lin Hao was not surprised. This time, he couldn't just hand it over to Luo Feng and be a hands-off manager.
There's no other reason than that Luo Feng simply doesn't have that kind of influence right now.
Lin Hao then elaborated on his plan: "Okay, leave this to me. At present, the strength of our Earth and our motherland is relatively weak."
"I intend to leverage the financial resources of those powerful foreign powers to give a boost to the development of our China."
"My idea is to limit the number of slots each year and offer them to those major cosmic races or top powers through an auction, allowing them to pay for the right to have children on Earth."
"After all, Earth's environment is special. I personally think that the value of raising offspring here should start from at least the Mixed Yuan Unit."
"This revenue will be used specifically to invest in the construction and development of our China."
He had given this plan a lot of thought.
When the secrets of Earth are revealed to the world, the ancient and powerful clans within humanity will inevitably flock to it.
You can't stop them by force, so it's better to open a small door and give them something to look forward to.
Although Earth is special, truly cultivating top-tier powerhouses requires a long-term, multi-generational optimization process.
In the original timeline, it took almost 100,000 years for the higher-ups of the race to gradually realize the value of Earth.
Such a long time span is enough for Lin Hao's cultivation to reach an unimaginable peak.
At the same time, China also needs time to grow.
"Let's all work together!"
……
After careful consideration, Hong finally decided to become a disciple of the founder of the Giant Axe.
Although the Lord of Darkness is equally powerful and follows the path of illusion, his appeal is still slightly less than that of the strongest being in the universe.
Regarding the final solution for Earth, Giant Axe and Chaos fully respected Lin Hao's opinion, and no conflict occurred throughout the entire consultation process.
The only drawback that many high-ranking officials felt was that Lin Hao initially offered far too few slots, which was a drop in the ocean and not enough for the various forces to divide among themselves.
As for the price? Nobody cares about that.
Buyers who are qualified, capable, and willing to go to Earth are all direct descendants of the Lord of the Universe; this expense is insignificant to them.
Those who care about this number basically don't even qualify to participate.
After several rounds of bargaining, Lin Hao finally agreed to increase the annual quota to one million people.
So, among these millions of people who flood into Earth, will some of them take advantage of their power to oppress Earthlings and repeat the plots of certain past events?
Lin Hao emphasized this point during negotiations with various powerful forces and received clear assurances from them.
Anyone granted permission to travel to Earth receives a stern, formal warning before departure.
What if you really encounter a stubborn person who won't listen to advice?
To wreak havoc on Earth and emerge unscathed, one must at least be a Venerable One.
But with the unfortunate example of Corrosion Fire as a precedent, no Venerable would want to cause trouble for Lin Hao over something so trivial.
With a stable annual inflow of at least one million yuan in "development funds," China's rise has entered a high-speed phase.
Lin Hao has never been stingy when it comes to resource allocation.
With ample funds at its disposal, China has steadily expanded its territory in the universe, acquiring hundreds of habitable star systems.
This rate of development is actually quite steady. If Lin Hao were willing to go all out, with the resources at his disposal, buying up vast swathes of star systems wouldn't be a problem.
The total price of the star regions that Luo Feng had seen at the Qianwu Auction was only so-so.
Lin Hao's financial resources were more than enough to cover these expenses.
Of course, the premise is that you don't use it all to fill the bottomless pit of Teacher Qianwu.
But simply buying land is meaningless. What Lin Hao hopes for is that China can be grounded in reality and truly achieve comprehensive internal strength.
We must steadily advance reform and development in all key areas.
Fortunately, China's progress has always been steady.
This "exposure" of Earth is an opportunity for Hong and Thor, and even more so for the entire Chinese nation.
On a tiny life-bearing planet, three super geniuses were simultaneously taken in as disciples by the Lord of the Universe. Hong even became a disciple of the only strongest being in the universe. What an astonishing miracle this is!
With the foundation laid in the past, coupled with the enormous impetus brought by this opportunity, it would be difficult for China not to take off.
"The cultural genes of the Chinese nation naturally contain the code to adapt to and conquer this vast starry universe."
Lin Hao was certain of himself.
Just then, an encrypted communication request interrupted his thoughts.
The sender was that cheap father-in-law—the emperor who ruled the Black Dragon Mountain Kingdom.
The email was concise: the father-in-law hoped to bring the entire Black Dragon Mountain Kingdom under Lin Hao's control, making it completely subservient to him.
It must be said that this father-in-law has a sharp eye and is very shrewd in his calculations.
As long as Lin Hao nods, Black Dragon Mountain will no longer be an ordinary small country in a remote and impoverished part of the universe, but will officially be given the golden signboard of "personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord"!
Having climbed up to Lin Hao's towering tree, what do the gains and losses of a mere Black Dragon Mountain matter?
Back during the Genius Battle, he had tested Lin Hao by offering a batch of star systems as a dowry. Unfortunately, China's foundation was weak and its population was small at that time, so it couldn't support a large territory. Lin Hao had no choice but to decline.
"Given the current resources accumulated by Earth and China, taking over and integrating the country of Heilongshan will be somewhat challenging, but it is no longer an insurmountable task."
Lin Hao will not personally handle the specific details regarding the development of Earth and China.
His role is more like a stabilizing force behind the scenes.
The specific affairs of the Heilongshan territory were received and integrated, and were fully entrusted to the operation of the Huaxia political system.
As for the daily work of "receiving" those chosen ones of the universe and the darlings of heaven on Earth, it was subcontracted to the Virtual Universe Company. China only needed to send people to liaise and coordinate with them.
After spending some time dealing with the future development of the entire Earth, Lin Hao was not in a hurry to return to the extraterritorial battlefield to fish.
To be honest, although he boasted loudly to the Lord of Chaos City, he was still a little apprehensive.
So he went to Thunder Island to ask for an audience.
"What?! You want the founder of the Giant Axe to spar with you?!"
That's why the Lord of Chaos City keeps saying he doesn't want this thing anymore; it's too much of a headache!
We still have to worry about when he'll go off to roam the outer battlefields, and what kind of big fish he'll catch when he does.
And sure enough, that kid came looking for me again. It's never good news...
A mere realm lord wants to have the strongest pillar of his clan, the strongest being in the universe, spar with him!
So, I'm not qualified to be a teacher!
Lin Hao forced a smile and explained somewhat humbly, "Teacher, the main problem is that I have no experience facing the strongest beings in the universe. I'm afraid of messing things up... It's a small matter if I mess up, but it would be bad if it delayed the important matters of the clan!"
The Chaos City Lord's eyelids twitched wildly as he looked at Lin Hao's feigned innocent face, and the armrest of his throne groaned under the strain.
"No experience? Who would have that kind of experience?! Do you think the strongest beings in the universe are just some random people on the roadside? A rollover? You, a realm lord, sparring with a giant axe, is that a rollover? That's called 'turning to dust,' 'returning to emptiness'! And it happened in an instant!"
"Doesn't this just prove that practice makes perfect?"
Lin Hao tried to reason with him, his face serious, "Look, first, putting aside my own survival ability, I won't die in the virtual universe! Second, I need to simulate the most extreme situation in advance. What if they really don't care about martial ethics and just send the strongest in the universe to attack on the extraterrestrial battlefield? I need to get beaten up beforehand so I can have experience in running away!"
The Lord of Chaos City took a deep breath, feeling his blood pressure getting out of control.
He waved his hand weakly, as if shooing away an annoying fly, even though the fly was a human treasure.
"Alright, alright! Your twisted logic is so convincing... I'll go and try, shamelessly ask if Giant Axe would be willing to take some time to personally 'forge' you!"
Having achieved his goal, Lin Hao stopped making trouble and left Thunder Island.
The boss's time is precious, and it's not an urgent matter. He doesn't know when he'll be able to finish, so Lin Hao logged off first.
Lin Hao had just logged off from the virtual universe when Babata's notification arrived: "Master, Colvin has issued an urgent report that the Hongmeng's 'envoy group' is waiting at the manor gate. Judging from their demeanor, they are quite formidable."
"Hongmeng? It's faster than I expected."
A knowing smile flashed in Lin Hao's eyes. It seemed that the Lord of Chaos City had no intention of hiding the truth from him anymore.
He immediately reconnected.
Yuxiang Mountain, the primeval area, outside the main gate of the luxury manor.
As light and shadow coalesced, Lin Hao appeared with his hands behind his back.
The nine kings, imbued with a profound aura of immortality, stood silently, their demeanor solemn.
The one in the lead, with a tall and graceful figure and a captivating beauty, could only be Wang Xinyao, the Desire King.
To be honest, the way she stands in front of me now, all serious and composed, is quite alluring.
Lin Hao's lips curled up as he slowly stepped forward, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the thin clothing and sweep over certain familiar curves.
"Your Highness Lin Hao, we are a special envoy team from the Hong Alliance. We are here today to formally invite Your Highness to join our Hong Alliance."
Xinyao seemed a little embarrassed. She had already sent out a group email, so why was she acting all serious now?
"Sister Xinyao, can't you speak properly..."
Lin Hao spoke calmly, his voice low but clear and penetrating the entire room.
Xin Yao's official smile faltered slightly.
"You little rascal, you're finished! You dared to embarrass your sister in front of her colleagues!"
Xin Yao gritted her teeth and whispered hatefully in Lin Hao's ear.
She hadn't expected Lin Hao to so directly reveal the affectionate nickname they used for each other in such a formal setting.
A fleeting look of embarrassment and helplessness, which only Lin Hao could detect, flashed across the depths of her eyes.
Although the higher-ups of the human race knew more or less about the situation, her colleagues in the Hongmeng Alliance were truly unaware of her relationship with Lin Hao.
I've heard some rumors, but no one dared to believe them.
