21/07/2018, 9 AM. North Central in China, Kutabu Desert.

Thanks to the huge project of sealing the sand with plants and grasses, many areas in the desert were covered in turf or shrubs when viewed from the sky.

They intersected one another and were well-proportioned, forming neat green boxes, which looked like a huge chessboard laid down between heaven and earth.

In the center of the desert stood an ancient altar.

Nine steps built from marble led towards the heart of the high platform.

The high platform was empty.

Apart from the spotless marble surface, there was nothing else.

Stone tables, praying mats, such common arrangements for offerings were nowhere to be seen.

There was no sign of the three main poultry offerings, no fruits, and not even one altar of incense was present, let alone items of incense.

It was extremely simple, exceptionally dignified, and distinctly solemn.

China had held a sacrificial ceremony to summon the Dragon God to communicate with heaven and earth, and to inquire about the cause of abnormalities in the ocean’s tides.

In just three days’ time, the news had spread.

If it had been in the past, China would certainly have wanted to hold it in a low profile manner, where huge matters classified as such were only publicized afterward.

However, it was different this time; they wanted to hold it loftily.

Ren Ruofeng had asked Vigilante A about how certain he was about summoning the Dragon God, and what would need to be prepared.

Vigilante A only replied in confusion, “What do you mean? I’m only going to invite the Venerable Dragon out for a breather, it’s just a small matter, what needs to be prepared?”

Upon hearing that, Ren Ruofeng could not help but laugh; as expected, he and the other big shots from Truth Department had worried too much.

Although the Celestial Dragon was a different concept from the True Dragon in the Upper Realm, they probably belonged to the same clan. It was just that one was a theistic dragon in this realm, while the other was a natural dragon from the Upper Realm.

After he was sure of Vigilante A’s attitude, he immediately started to activate the power of publication and carried out the rally.

Without a doubt, the post publicization was steady and there were no mistakes, but there was an extremely regrettable problem. The publicizing resources were such a waste. They would lose the best opportunity to show the vast national capabilities in this new era.

How could the replay be as satisfying as the live stream? How could the live stream be better than watching it live?

There was a reason as to why such a huge number of football fans were willing to spend hundreds and thousands to watch a match live even if they had to travel a far distance.

Right now, countless “dragon” fans were rushing over all the way from everywhere in the world, as they made their way to the once infamous desert.

All of them had gone through stages of filtering and selections under the watch of loads of order maintenance personnel, according to sections and areas, standing around the high platform.

Amidst these people, there were white-haired elders and newborn babies who were carried over by their parents.

There were the rich, and those who were poverty-stricken.

There were tall and handsome ones, and short and ugly ones.

There were those who came from bustling cities, and those who came from all corners of the world.

Nonetheless, at this moment, all of them only carried one identity, which was “The Descendants of the Dragon”.

In the past, this was just a symbolization, many people never truly bothered with it.

That being said, in this new era where all sorts of calamities happened repeatedly, they had clearly understood after getting used to it for almost a year, – this identity of theirs that they barely thought about in the past, and which that they did not value much about, was in fact a truly powerful “amulet”.

That was right, never think highly of the Chinese people, but never think so lowly of them, either.

They were a group of commoners who wanted to live a peaceful life.

Without concrete benefits, empty promises would not make them sacrifice their lives, which was already proven by endless numbers of failed ambitious schemers in history.

In a peaceful era, they would have haggled over benefits and argued with one another.
