Chapter 307 The Glory of Humanity
Huang Jing ignored Fang Ping's usual erratic behavior, glanced at the list, and said calmly, "This is to create hype—"
"Indeed," Fang Ping said, stroking his chin.
Three thousand grandmasters—anyone who sees such a magnificent lineup would feel the power and invincibility of humanity.
Even martial artists with only a superficial understanding of the underground world would feel a surge of confidence upon seeing this list.
In the eyes of many low- to mid-level players, each underground dungeon only involves fighting against one city. Many people are unaware of the guardian demonic plants and beasts, so each city represents a ninth-rank player, and three or four eighth-rank players. The Huaguo Law dungeons only have about twenty dungeons, meaning you'll be facing about twenty ninth-rank players.
There are thirty-three ninth-rank officials from China on the list; isn't that a complete crushing defeat?
To the uninformed martial artists below, such strength meant that defeating the underground dungeon was a certainty, with no possibility of loss. This list gave them hope of victory. It's estimated that the situation of the underground dungeon will be announced soon. This list was designed to give those who were unaware enough confidence to believe that humanity would prevail.
Otherwise, if the vast difference between the underground world and humanity were directly revealed, human order would collapse overnight, and countless cult members would emerge.
Now that we have this list, and when we release more information about the outer perimeter of the underground world, the comparison will show that humanity is stronger, which will give countless people confidence and make them more proactive in exploring new worlds.
"After all, you've heard what Lu said. A full-scale war might break out in two or three years. It's already too late to announce it now. At this point, we can no longer guarantee the safety of ordinary people."
Therefore, announcing it now will allow ordinary people to prepare in advance.
"Knowing about the existence of the new world can inspire many people to become stronger," Old Li said.
"Sigh, the time has come when we have no choice but to make it public. After all, too many people died in the underground caves, too many nameless heroes..."
It's time for ordinary people to know about their achievements, what martial artists face, and why martial artists have special privileges—"
Huang Jing said slowly.
Before this, countless people questioned the rights and status of martial artists. But after the underground cave was revealed, Huang Jing could foresee that those people would realize that the privileges and status of martial artists were earned one life at a time. Even if there were further sacrifices, there was no need to hide the truth from the families anymore, saying it was a rescue mission; instead, they would know for themselves.
Those whose children sacrificed themselves to resist the dungeons are heroes, meritorious contributors to humanity!
"Sigh, this is also a kind of well-intentioned deception. What if they knew the truth about the underground cave—" Fang Ping sighed.
After all, he knew the truth. A dungeon actually faces more than ten cities. Each city has two Rank 9 cultivators, so a dungeon has more than twenty Rank 9 cultivators. There are a total of 108 dungeons, which means more than two thousand Rank 9 cultivators. There are only two hundred Rank 9 cultivators in the whole world, a tenfold difference. If he hadn't been more determined, he would have given up long ago because of this data.
"That's not entirely true. Many people are afraid at first," Huang Jing laughed. "Including you and me. Weren't you afraid at all the first time you went down into the underground cave?"
No one is born fearless; human qualities are formed through experience. Humans are the most adaptable species, but when faced with crises of life and death, genocide, or national ruin,
There will always be some people who will stand up!
There is always a group of people who will unleash greater potential at this time, whether for humanity, for their own family, or for their own lives, they will fight bloody battles and break through their own limits.
The majority of people are like this; they face difficulties head-on, rather than being weak and abandoning humanity's brilliance hidden deep within their hearts. Perhaps they have many unpleasant aspects in ordinary times, but when truly faced with a moment of national subjugation and annihilation...
This will show the enemy what true human greatness is, and the history of China proves this point—it comes from the light of hope deep in people's hearts.
Hearing Huang Jing's words, Fang Ping didn't say anything more. After all, what Huang Jing said was true. Perhaps everyone is miserable in their daily lives, just a street thug or a member of the lower class, but when danger comes, countless heroes will emerge.
Humans are born with the courage to do the impossible, an indelible memory hidden deep within the human heart.
The more difficult the situation, the stronger this courage becomes.
Discussions about this list have been a hot topic, especially among ordinary people who see so many masters and are wondering where these masters are, since they rarely get to see them.
If the list hadn't been published, ordinary people would have thought there were only about a hundred masters in the world. But it turns out there are over a thousand. Where are all these masters?
This question has become a source of curiosity for everyone, and the most discussed and speculative post is about the existence of aliens.
These masters are all fighting against aliens.
The post even analyzed the possibilities of this matter from various angles.
From the extremely privileged status of martial artists to the major earthquakes occurring in various regions, to the previously published battle records and casualties of martial artists, and various international situations, this post points out that humanity is currently facing a formidable enemy. This explains the existence of the martial artists' status, their battle records, and the mysteries surrounding grandmasters. In short, this post synthesizes almost all information from ordinary people to infer this conclusion.
Moreover, what he said wasn't entirely wrong. After all, the post about the underground caves being considered aliens by humans was gaining more and more popularity, but the government seemed oblivious, choosing to completely ignore it and letting ordinary people continue to discuss this issue.
Upon seeing the post, Fang Ping immediately realized that it must have been written by the government itself from the perspective of an ordinary person. Otherwise, the data wouldn't be so accurate, and the analysis wouldn't be so thorough. No wonder the government ignored the post.
Now we are planting a seed in the hearts of the people, a seed that humanity has a great enemy, an enemy that may be aliens.
When the underground cave is officially announced, looking back at these actions will make the current moves clearer.
The second point of discussion surrounding the rankings is the strength of Magic Martial Arts.
After December 27th, outsiders were prohibited from entering the Magic Martial Arts Academy, and no students were allowed to leave. All students were working hard to cultivate and absorb and utilize the energy dissipating from the surrounding area.
While the outside world is unaware of the changes within Magic Martial Arts Academy, they can get a general idea, given the significant amount of energy emanating from the Academy, which can be felt to varying degrees by anyone in Shanghai.
Currently, there are seven grandmasters on the list: two at the eighth rank, five at the seventh rank, and one of them is ranked number one at the seventh rank.
Naturally, many people are curious about the strength of Magic Martial Arts, since even the two major martial arts schools, Jingwu, doesn't have that many grandmasters.
