I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal
Chapter 629 - 370 He’s Here!

Chapter 629: Chapter 370 He’s Here!

As is well known, there are five major replicas on Earth.

To become a truly top-tier country, it is necessary to unlock nuclear technology and then try to clear one of these replicas.

These five replicas are precisely the five top-tier countries on Earth, the real powerhouses behind the scenes of this world’s chessboard, each with almost the strength to challenge the entire world.

The difficulty of this can be imagined.

However, today,

the three most difficult of the five replicas were all cleared within three hours.

This shocked the whole world.

No one dared believe that three replicas were conquered within three hours.

Keep in mind that these three countries possess the most terrifying strength: vast carrier strike groups, countless red steel torrents, the boundless sea of a people’s war...

And those nuclear weapons capable of flipping the table.

But all that hadn’t even made a sound before the three countries simply surrendered.

How could this be? How is it possible?

Naturally, the whole world was dumbfounded.

Such an outcome nearly broke the defense of the countless self-proclaimed experts.

Theoretically, it was impossible for any of these countries to be completely gone, because if someone dared to completely annihilate them, they would drag the whole world down with them.

After all, if their own country is gone, what’s the point for everyone else in the world?

But now,

three countries have straight up surrendered, dignifying the so-called King Chen as the supreme ruler in this modern society that had long abolished feudalism.

Is this reasonable?

It’s completely unreasonable!

Of course, it’s not just the world’s populace that finds this unreasonable.

The most intense reactions, naturally, come from the citizens of these three countries.

People’s reactions varied, but the common sentiments were anger, confusion, and fear.

In this chaos, the most vehement reactions were from the citizens of the three countries that had surrendered, no longer caring about the man’s exposed surname "Chen."

Instead, questions filled every place.

Protests and marches began on various streets.

The citizens of these three superpowers had always prided themselves as members of the world’s most formidable nations, with the other two countries of similar strength not pressing them too much.

But now things were different.

Above their heads, there suddenly stood a Supreme Emperor above all others.

Before that man declared war and before the superpowers surrendered, their citizens generally believed that man could not win.

But the outcome now was entirely the opposite.

This was obviously completely unacceptable.

Social media platforms were flooded with questions, as people continuously posted queries:

["Why did our leaders surrender so easily?"], ["Have they been bought off a long time ago?"], ["What will our future hold?"]...

These questions spread like a virus, sparking endless discussions and conjecture.

There was an inevitable abundance of conspiracy theories.

After all, the current situation was hard not to overthink.

Some even began scrutinizing government officials’ words and actions over the past few months, trying to find any possible clues.

Beyond that,

a significant portion of people were concerned about what comes next.

Some thought it was just having one more person above them, making no difference to most.

Others believed that the excessive concentration of power in one person would have a significant impact.

In this process, people began to reevaluate the meaning of the nation and individual rights, which may turn out to be a turning point, pushing society towards a more open and democratic direction.

However, all of this is predicated on the new ruler understanding and respecting the will of the people, rather than moving towards another extreme.

As the news continued to ferment, the anger quickly turned into action.

Protests erupted like mushrooms after rain on the main streets of various major cities.

People carried banners and chanted slogans, demanding explanations from the government. While police maintained order, they also faced tremendous pressure because they too were victims in this sudden upheaval.

The squares of the capitals of various countries became the epicenters of protest activities. Tens of thousands gathered there, demanding not just a government response to the surrender but also calling for comprehensive political reforms to prevent such events from reoccurring.

In some second-tier cities, although the scale of protests was smaller, the emotions were equally intense. People worried that with the arrival of the new ruler, their lives would undergo fundamental changes, including economic conditions, personal freedoms, and more.

Media played a crucial role in this process. Both traditional and new media platforms reported on the event immediately and continued to track the latest developments.

Journalists delved into the protest sites, interviewed participants, and collected firsthand information, conveying the authentic voices to the public.

International attention to this matter peaked at an unprecedented level.

But it was limited to attention only.

Because this matter involved three superpowers.

As everyone knows,

when small countries fight, the United Nations intervenes, and the small countries vanish.

When the Five Permanent Countries fight, the United Nations intervenes, and the United Nations disappears.

So never mind that the United Nations is no more.

Even if the United Nations still existed, it wouldn’t rush to convene any special meeting to discuss the impact of this event on global stability.

At this moment, the deed is done.

No matter how much others discuss it, it’s useless; it can’t change the fact that the surrender has already happened.
