Chapter 1284 – State of the Union Address

When Java was destroyed, a System Notification sounded out in the minds of every Java player.

”System Notification: Java has been destroyed, please choose a dynasty to surrender to!”

After Gaia removed the trial lands punishment, players of countries that were wiped out could choose a dynasty to live under; they would not be forcefully teleported and revived.

Any dynasty around the world, as long as they were willing to accept the player, Gaia would teleport the player over.

Out of the 20 million players, they naturally had a variety of choices.

There were some who chose the Darkness empire, seeing it as a place to take revenge. Furthermore, the Darkness empire had just won a battle in the Pacific and chased away the Great Xia Pacific Squadron, catching a lot of attention.

The Darkness empire had a huge market toward the Java players.

There were also some who chose the Dawson Dynasty; these people were prepared to leave the sad grounds of Asia.

Meanwhile, some who chose the Great Xia Emperor dynasty, choosing to remain.

Surprisingly, more than half of the Java players chose the last option. Especially the casual and work occupation players, who did not want to leave their homeland.

70% and above of the casual players chose to stay.

Next would be those who had investments in Java; these people were not willing to give up on their hard work. The Great Xia law system made it clear that the Imperial Court could not touch private assets.

Anyways, it was not like Great Xia had only Java, so they did not feel as bad in their hearts. The current Great Xia spanned Asia, Europe, Africa, America, and Europe.

Living under Great Xia was a good choice.

The presence of the Federation had greatly reduced the country ideals. Ouyang Shuo's generation was taught since a young age that the country and the Federation were two sides of the same coin.

Eastern and western civilizations were even merging with one another and going neck and neck.

If not, there would not be a super organization like Silver Hand.

Only when the same world established different game zones based on old country maps did such concepts slowly return.

However, since it had not been that long, the concept built up was like a sandcastle that would easily collapse.

The Great Xia that Ouyang Shuo led was trying to build such a concept for the players and natives in its borders - Great Xia.

A global empire, an empire with eastern civilization at its core.

The main force leaving Java consisted of combat occupation players. To these people, their equipment was all their assets, so they came and left like the wind.

Of course, some combat occupation players chose to stay.

There were some people intending to sow chaos internally.

How to manage these players efficiently became the toughest problem for Great Xia in managing Java. In Ouyang Shuo's words, ”Easy to take down, hard to manage.”

After conquering the two islands of Java, Great Xia did not set up a new province and instead merged the two into the Heluo Province to manage.

With that, the Heluo Province would have Johor, Singapore, Brunei, and Java, becoming the biggest province in the Empire, even longer than the Beiyuan Province.

The Heluo Province ruling city was moved from Putrajaya to Jakarta.

Heluo Provincial Governor Hu Zongxian made Ouyang Shuo feel slightly more at ease. This governor was a skilled person and was greatly trusted by Ouyang Shuo. Moreover, he was a person able to improve with the times.

...

1st month, 21st day, Honolulu.

While the war of Java had ended, the Battle of Hawaii continued to be tough.

In recent days, the Darkness Army had finally received cannon help. While shooting at the enemy cannon formation, they sent out slaves to disturb the enemy.

Cao Gui was really calm, ordering the troops to fend off wave after wave of enemy troops.

Looking at the current situation, they would not be able to decide the victor before the Chinese New Year. The entire battle slowly turned into a battle of attrition that tested the determination of both sides.

...

22nd day, Imperial Capital.

The prosperous imperial capital was already filled with the New Year spirit. Lanterns were everywhere, and they were totally unaffected by the war. After a year of construction, the new city region was brimming with life, and there were many people on the streets.

Many factories rose up from the ground, giving out the aura of a new era.

The rumbling of machines were like a beating heart, supporting the forward progress of the Empire.

Along with the Empire's industrialization speeding up, as well as it fully opening up to the players, more and more players found a home in the Empire and walked toward their new jobs.
