Chapter 1341 – Gaia Descends
At times, even brutish men were gentle. A ruler was not a heartless person.
Ouyang Shuo could step out without hesitation, revealing his domineering aura to the outside. However, he could not face the worry of his family and the separation from his children.
It was true that the world was cruel.
Song Jia understood her husband. Before sleeping, she muttered, ”Do not worry and go. The kids and I will wait for you.” She believed that her husband could solve all challenges in his path and create yet another legend.
”I am looking forward to the day that you welcome the three of us to Planet Hope in a grand manner!” Song Jia said.
Ouyang Shuo did not say anything or make any promises. He only held his wife's hands a little tighter. With such a wife, what more could he as a husband ask for?
Night, quiet.
...
In the blink of an eye, the 9th year of Gaia concluded.
Winter once again descended upon the land, and the world fell silent. This winter was much colder than the previous ones. The destruction of Hope City was like a giant mountain pressing down on everyone to the point where they could not breathe.
During this period, the House of Tudor, the Gaule Dynasty, and the Ottoman Dynasty all took turns to express their recognition of Great Xia.
On the global scale, only the Dawson Dynasty did not say anything.
Looking at the situation, it was only a matter of time before Jack acknowledged them too. In all likelihood, he had not done so yet because there was still half a year till the deadline that Gaia set.
Jack did not want to let Great Xia benefit too much from it.
Silver Hand and Azure Badge probably wanted to use this chance to continue to cause problems.
The public opinion was slowly starting to move in the direction that they desired. Ouyang Shuo, the strongest emperor, had risen and was molded into the global leader.
Ouyang Shuo was being immortalized.
Regarding this matter, Great Xia itself was in huge debate. Some agreed, some opposed, some kept silent, and some clamored; everyone had their own opinions.
The emperor palace that was at the center of this spiral was terrifying. It was like a giant beast lying in wait, quietly in its deep sleep as it paid no attention to the noise on the outside.
Even the Imperial Court officials held back their words.
Great Xia's silent admission aided the embers that Silver Hand and Azure Badge had started, making it easy and effortless to propagandize.
Ouyang Shuo's authority and prestige were growing by the day.
Apart from this, on the global battlefield, everything stopped, including India. Perhaps it was because of the winter or for some other reason. The world became silent once more like night had descended.
...
12th month, 15th day, Imperial City.
As they approached the New Year, Ouyang Shuo became more and more busy. There were many places and functions that he needed to attend. There were many things he needed to approve and many matters he had to make the final decision on.
Meeting after meeting, tour after tour.
Amongst all the hard work and buzz, he practically tossed all the worries of Planet Hope to the back of his head.
No matter what, one still had to live on.
Ouyang Shuo had been making plans with regards to the second batch of AIs instantiate to prepare for the impending exploration. Who to choose and who to keep; naturally, a lot of thought had to go into it.
3pm, Ouyang Shuo was reviewing memorials in the reading room. Suddenly, his face froze, and he revealed a surprised but complicated expression. After that, he said, ”Men!”
”Present!”
The Divine Martial Guards captain on duty walked in.
”Pass on my order. From this moment on, without my summoning, no one can come close to the Imperial Reading Room.” Ouyang Shuo gave this rarely given clearing out order.
The captain's eyes turned serious. He did not dare to disagree and only said, ”Understood. The Divine Martial Guards will be on alert in the surroundings. If you have any orders, we can rush over right away.”
