Chapter 290: The reason Rebirth was released, brutal agreement
“The conference progressed normally, but at the end of the conference, Tokugawa Ichifuji suddenly attacked by addressing the Taiwan issue after a long time. He reprimanded my China for interfering in Taiwan’s sovereignty and that we should release our control of Taiwan, as well as apologizing to the entire world, humph! Truly laughable! Taiwan has been a territory of my China since ancient times, how could we allow those young people from that barbarian country talk nonsense.”
“However, the matter developed in an unexpected manner. Before I could say anything, the United States, Germany, Italy, France, England……And many powerful world leaders supported Tokugawa Ichifuji. They ordered my China to release Taiwan and apologize to the world……”
“They clearly reached an agreement beforehand.” Feng Xiao said in a cold voice after knitting his brows.
“Indeed.” Long Wei gave a strong sigh before his voice filled with a bit of helplessness and hatred, “When they all stood up and started reprimanding us, I already understood. However, the issue of Taiwan was just the beginning and the waves were not settling. Tokugawa Ichifuji raised the issue of Ye Huang Tian causing a slaughter in Japan thirteen years ago……You should already know this matter.”
Feng Xiao nodded, “China’s Sword God single handedly attacked Japan and he killed his way into their palace without a single injury. This matter shocked Japan and the world. There isn’t a single person in the world who doesn’t know this.”
“Yes, the entire world already knows about this……” Long Wei gave a bitter laugh, “Ye Huang Tian did this to vent anger for China and for me, but it was actually a big mess. After all, Ye Huang Tian’s slaughter was for no reason and the whole world knew that he is one of the four protectors of my China.”
“Japan was using this as a threat?” Feng Xiao’s voice turned colder. The Sword God killed people who deserved to die, including him. The dirty Japanese didn’t have a right to complain. If it was him, he definitely would have killed even more. Only the retaliation with blood would make them remember the crimes caused by their country.
“That’s right, they wanted my China to hand over Ye Huang Tian and apologize to the Japanese government and people, or they would launch a crusade in the name of the ‘world’s enemy’ and ‘going against humanity’. What a joke! It really is a joke! If my China submitted to this, then where would my China’s prestige go! Our presence in the international community would drop and my China would certainly fall into chaos. At the same time, the countries that had ulterior motives sided with Tokugawa Ichifuji and added fuel to the flames……” Long Wei clenched his hands that let out a resounding cracking sound. Thinking of the extreme indignity of that time, he found it a bit hard to control his mood.
“I understand just thinking about it a bit. China’s been developing very quickly over the past few years and is now on par with America that was once the world’s strongest nation. This makes those countries that once plundered and trampled my China anxious. The countries that are more jealous wouldn’t allow such a thing. So in the conference a year ago, those countries with evil intentions grouped up to suppress my China with this laughable farce!”
“Ai! It was too angry back then and confronted them with a strong stance, forcing this situation into an irreversible state. My China was doomed to be unable to back down. At that time, I had a sad premonition that World War III would erupt centered around my China. But this was the result that many people wanted to see, without a doubt.”
“So Ying Luo acted in the end?” Feng Xiao asked.
Long Wei nodded as he revealed a sad look, “If it wasn’t for her appearance, I wouldn’t have been able to imagine how this matter would turn out. Ying Luo suddenly appeared on the screen in the hall back then. She said that she wouldn’t interfere in disputes between countries, but she definitely wouldn’t allow the appearance of World War III. Because of the appearance of nuclear weapons, once we were forced into a situation where countries used hydrogen bombs out of desperation, it would be the end of the human race.”
“No one refuted this because the words that she said were fact. Not to mention that facing Ying Luo who could easily cripple a nation, no one dared to contradict her.” Long Wei had a bit of self ridicule in his smile as he continued, “So in front of everyone, she proposed another method. A method that would allow us to wage war without the worries of creating casualties!”
“«Rebirth»!” Feng Xiao said in a soft voice as his brows knitted.
Could this be the reason why «Rebirth» appeared? But why did he feel that this wasn’t the case! No! There must be another hidden reason!
“That’s right, that was «Rebirth»! This is the reason why «Rebirth» was released!” Long Wei looked at him and found that he was a bit stunned. He wasn’t surprised as he slowly continued, “Using the war in the game to solve our problems, that was naturally the best choice. Although many countries that wanted to stir up trouble were a bit unwilling, they could only agree in front of Ying Luo.”
“Ying Luo proposed that the country borders would be opened in a year and then they would fight to decide the fate of each country. Tokugawa Ichifuji strongly opposed this suggestion since there were just too many Chinese people, it would be unfair for other countries. Although this was clearly targeted at my China, it was irrefutable and received the support of everyone. Ying Luo changed the method and decided that each country would decide their victory with the ability of their experts! But once the borders were open, we would not prevent or interfere with fights between countries.”
“This is the final rule in the game and it is brutal to my China. «Rebirth» appeared because of the war against China and in the war in «Rebirth», they will target China. Moreover, because all this is caused by Japan, America, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, and Italy will all be clashing with China. So the rules that Ying Luo set are very fair, but brutally fair!”
“The martial world tournament, if my China wins in the end, they can’t interfere in the Taiwan issue and the Japanese issues of thirteen years ago will be written off. At the same time, for the next ten years, these six countries will have to give 5% of their country’s products to China for free! And……If any of the six countries win, China will not interfere in the Taiwan issue and apologize to the world for these two issues. For the next ten years, we will offer 10% of our products to these six countries.”
Long Wei’s words were considered calm as he let out a deep breath.
“Indeed, this is very brutal. Not only are the rules very disadvantageous to my China, moreover……my China had no fault in the first place! Taiwan belongs to my China in the first place and the Japanese matters from thirteen years ago is what they deserved, why should we accept these rules! Ying Luo, who had always been fair, was too unfair this time!” Feng Xiao shook his head as a look of hatred…..and confusion appeared in his eyes.
“So what if we don’t agree? Our Chinese people like harmony and peace, so being able to avoid war is the best method.” Long Wei gave a sigh as he tried to calm the waves in his heart. He then said in a teasing voice, “This is the «Rebirth» world, every word and action here is controlled by Ying Luo. You aren’t angry that you angered her with your words just now?”
Feng Xiao revealed the same uncaring smile, “If she didn’t even have this bit of character, then she’s not worthy of being called the ‘goddess’ of the internet.” His voice changed as he asked, “Official, the reason you couldn’t tell bystanders was?”
“To let humanity create a gaming environment without any pressure and to not let the human race fall into restlessness, Ying Luo forced all the leaders of the world not to spread the story of how «Rebirth» came to be. Otherwise, once it was discovered by her, the one who broke this agreement would be punished.” Long Wei explained.
“So it was like this……”
Feng Xiao fell silent as he needed some time to digest this information. Under the tranquil surface, his feelings were stirring. Long Wei didn’t say anything as he looked at him, waiting for his answer.
It was so quiet that even a pin falling could be heard.
“Relax, I will definitely be first in the competition in ten months.” Feng Xiao looked up and said this with a firm look in his eyes.
Long Wei revealed a gentle smile, “You have this confidence?”
“Other than confidence, I have many reasons to succeed. For China and for myself.”
“Good! As expected of the strongest Asura in my China! Just with your confidence and your aura, I’m much more confident.” Long Wei had a look of joy, as if the stone that had been pressing down on his heart became much lighter. He then said with a serious look, “I believe in my eyes. You will definitely win! When the time comes, you will be my China’s hero and I can give you the highest honour in China, as well as agree to any of your requests.”
Feng Xiao shook his head with a smile, “Your words are too heavy, this is what I should do as a Chinese citizen. Moreover, if I win, my contribution is just a single grain of rice in front of the highest official’s.”
Moreover, even if it wasn’t for China, he would still participate in the world martial tournament.
Long Wei was surprised before reaching out a large hand to pat his shoulder, “I really didn’t recognize the wrong person. Good, I won’t say much else and wish you luck in your triumph in ten months. During this time, you need to increase your strength as quickly as possible since this is related to my China’s future……If you have any requests, you can tell the country and the country will give you the greatest support.”
“No need!” To Long Wei’s surprise, Feng Xiao decisively shook his head, “I don’t need help! I will use my own strength for everything.”
Long Wei looked at him with surprised eyes. After a while, he said with a faint smile, “You really are too similar to me in the past. If I was twenty years younger, we would definitely be friends.”
Friends? I am currently half your enemy. Feng Xiao gave a secret sigh.
“Official, if I win, I have only one request.” Feng Xiao looked at him as he said this.
Long Wei nodded with a smile, hinting for him to speak.
“Help me find some people!” Feng Xiao’s eyes flickered with a trace of hatred and killing intent.
Long Wei nodded, “Not a problem. As long as they are in China, there’s no one that the country can’t find.”
