Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 106 Standardizing Writing and Unifying the Gauges of Carts

Paris base city.

Monsters surged in from all directions, attacking like a tidal wave.

Amidst the deafening roar of thousands of cannons firing simultaneously, the sky seemed to be ablaze.

The earth was scorched black.

The monster's corpses had long since piled up into mountains, blood flowed like rivers, and limbs and torsos were scattered everywhere, emitting a stench as they burned in the flames.

Even so, it still couldn't stop the catastrophic beast tide launched by twelve king-level monsters.

Endless sea monsters surged forward along the Seine, breaching several war bases along the way and bringing the flames of war to the city of Paris.

In the relentless attacks, one position after another was breached, and one firing point after another was extinguished.

The heavy fortress, built entirely of reinforced concrete, was in ruins, flames had broken out inside the city, and the roars of monsters could be heard from time to time.

Some of the flying monsters have broken through the base city's defenses and rushed into the base, where they are wreaking havoc.

The dazzling light from the laser cannon is gradually fading.

The base city has strong firepower.

However, it was impossible to maintain strict protection in the face of such an almost endless tide of beasts.

Even with numerous soldiers and warriors desperately protecting them, they still couldn't stop it all.

In the sky, twelve enormous king-level monsters and human planetary-level powerhouses were locked in a fierce battle, with deafening roars erupting from time to time.

Even with the Black God Set, the overwhelming numerical disadvantage still made the human warriors trapped in the siege suffer greatly.

However, they had no choice but to fight.

Otherwise, if the numerous King-level monsters were allowed to attack, humanity's laser cannon positions would be destroyed very quickly, and that would be the true end of the entire base city.

The EU's strongest player, Easter, wields fourteen throwing knives, slicing wildly through the area.

As the former Fourth Speaker, East is still quite powerful.

A planetary-level second-tier psychic, most of the king-level monsters present would be no match for him in a one-on-one battle.

But this is a battlefield!
Among these twelve king-level monsters, there are two planetary-level third-tier monsters.

Even when he severely injured a king-level monster during the siege, it was still difficult to kill it.

For King-level monsters with thick skin and strong regenerative abilities, as long as they don't die on the spot, they can quickly regain their fighting power after a period of recovery.

"When will Hong and Thor's reinforcements arrive? If this continues, we can't hold out much longer!"

In the communications network, Easter was panting heavily.

The continuous battles had left him extremely exhausted, and he was on the verge of giving up.

"Speaker Hong is currently fighting in Washington, D.C., where more than twenty King-level monsters have launched a beast tide. He probably won't be able to get here anytime soon."

"Chairman Thor is currently in Africa, and the evacuation of the Flame Mercenary Group has led to the fall of a base city there..."

A somewhat hoarse voice rang out from the communication network.

"Is there no more support?"

Easter clenched his fist involuntarily.

If this continues, I'm afraid the Paris base city won't be able to hold out for much longer!
If the situation is this bad in Paris, the situation is even worse in other EU base cities.

"What about China?"

After a long silence, Easter spoke.

Twenty minutes earlier, they received a video from China.

One of the two great ocean kings, the Thunder Dragon King, was easily killed.

Even with the Black God Set, he dared not say he could save his life against the Thunder Dragon Emperor, yet Qin Ming charged into the ocean and forcibly killed such a powerful monster.

All the king-level monsters that went to China were also killed.

While they were suffering terribly, the entire nation of China had already embarked on a massive development campaign, purging monsters from the wilderness.

"I've arrived!"

Suddenly, a voice, both strange and familiar, rang out in the communication network.

Easter suddenly looked up.

A figure was seen flying rapidly from afar.

At twenty times the speed of sound, almost the instant he was seen, Qin Ming had already rushed into the overwhelming tide of beasts.

boom!
With a powerful sonic boom, all the monsters within a three-kilometer radius of Qin Ming in the continuous beast tide instantly turned into blood mist and exploded.

It was like a storm of swords.

365 blades transformed into streaks of silver light, darting wildly through the monsters, and no monster could withstand a single blow.

Even the most powerful of them, an octopus-level planetary-class third-tier king-level monster, instantly went limp.

Its massive body, as large as a small mountain, crashed onto the battlefield below, causing the entire earth to tremble as if an earthquake had struck.

Qin Ming, however, showed no intention of stopping and sped across the sky with lightning speed.

Flying monsters, blotting out the sky, rained down like a storm.

However, the weird thing is.

The corpses vanished into thin air halfway down the mountain.

Even the monster corpses on the ground vanished the moment they died.

All eyes on the battlefield were drawn to this terrifying figure.

Just like the Grim Reaper.

Wherever it went, all the monsters within a three-kilometer radius perished without exception.

After flying around the Paris base city for only one lap, the endless beast tide collapsed.

Eight of the twelve king-level monsters died on the spot, and four of them, seeing that things were not going well, tried to escape from afar.

However, this was all in vain.

Faced with speeds 20 times faster than sound, they have no way to escape.

From the moment Qin Ming joined the battle until all the king-level monsters perished and the catastrophic beast tide collapsed, the entire process took less than ten minutes!

These ten minutes even included Qin Ming chasing down the scattered King-level monsters and clearing out the defeated ocean monsters.

Everyone stared at this scene blankly.

When Qin Ming appeared in the sky above the Paris base city and saw that figure that resembled a demon god, even someone as strong as Ister felt his hands and feet turn cold and a chill ran through his heart.

Seeing Qin Ming's murderous aura soaring to the sky, with blood mist seemingly rising from his body, Ister suppressed his fear, flew into the sky, and respectfully bowed to Qin Ming.

Behind him followed several other powerful figures of parliamentary rank.

"Greetings, Speaker Qin. Thank you for saving the Paris base city."

The clear and standard Mandarin was spoken by East.

For a planetary-level psychic, learning a foreign language is quite simple. Because of Hong and the Thunder God, most councilors and War Gods within the War God Palace spend some time learning Chinese.

"No need to thank me!"

Qin Ming shook his head slightly; he didn't actually have any ill feelings towards Ister.

He was actually a martial arts fanatic just like Hong and Lei Shen.

He was even more lonely.

In the original timeline, when Luo Feng extended an invitation to all the world's strongest individuals, requiring five powerful individuals as sacrifices, in the face of the Golden Horned Beast's attack, he did not hesitate to step forward.

Actually, he was the last person who should have been there.

While everyone else was saying goodbye to their friends, wives, and children, only East locked himself in his room, stayed alone for five minutes, and then boarded a fighter jet and left.

What kind of feelings did a person have when they sacrificed themselves for the world without even saying goodbye before they died?
Qin Ming didn't know, but that didn't stop him from respecting it.

"I think you have all received China's announcement."

Global unification is inevitable.

Both the Extreme Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School have decided to join China.

Tell me your choice.

To submit or to resist?

Despite his respect, Qin Ming still spoke, his voice filled with icy coldness.

This is not a reason to hinder global unity.

"What do we gain if we choose to surrender?"

A figure with a Chinese face standing next to East spoke with difficulty.

Qin Ming glanced over.

Yan Hai?

A traitor who betrayed his country and was expelled by Jia Yi dares to bargain with me?

Bang!
Yan Hai's head exploded, and his headless corpse fell from the sky.

"I'm just informing you, not asking you to bargain."

Qin Ming glanced at the others around him.

Seeing the headless corpse fall to the ground, everyone shuddered and dared not utter a sound.

"We choose to surrender!"

East looked at Qin Ming's demonic figure and lowered his head.

“A wise choice! I will leave a few King-level monsters to protect this base city. People will be here soon; just follow orders.”

Qin Ming nodded slightly, then quickly disappeared on the Sky-Piercing Shuttle.

Many base cities are under siege by King-level monsters and are waiting for him to 'rescue' them.

……

On the first day Qin Ming arrived in the EU region, the beast tide in several base cities across the EU completely collapsed, and hundreds of king-level monsters perished.

The next day, Qin Ming appeared in the United States.

The third day was in Africa.

Day ...

Wherever they went, all submitted.

It wasn't that no one chose to resist.

There are always people who cannot see the reality.

However, their fate was predictable. When more than ten members of parliament died at Qin Ming's hands, all dissenting voices disappeared.

After touring the world twice and slaughtering nearly 800 king-level monsters, both the monsters and other human forces have quieted down.

The whole world seemed to fall silent.

He single-handedly suppressed the entire world!

……

Nine days later, Qin Ming returned to China and quietly stayed in the military camp.

He also needs rest.

The continuous, frenzied slaughter resulted in an overwhelming number of monster souls within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, numbering in the hundreds of billions!
Even in the Gu-raising mode where monsters kill each other, it can't keep up with Qin Ming's speed in collecting monster souls; the entire Ten Thousand Soul Banner is completely filled.

The top-tier planetary-level monsters, such as Thunder Dragon Emperor and Azure Dragon of the East Sea, were so full that they were unwilling to move at all.

Later on, Qin Ming even took the initiative to control a large number of low-level monster souls to annihilate themselves, turning them into pure soul crystals.

"I need to rest and recuperate for a while. If this continues, I'll go crazy."

Qin Ming's eyes were bloodshot, filled with an uncontrollable savagery, and his body was shrouded in a bloody mist.

That's why he didn't even dare to go home.

At this moment, if an ordinary person saw him, they would be scared to death.

In fact, he doesn't need to take action at this point.

Following Hong and Thor's public announcement that they would merge the Limitless Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School into China, and after the EU, the US and other powers announced their submission, China also sent personnel to take control of them.

The entire Earth gradually united together.

Large numbers of warriors, in coordination with the army, conquered city after city occupied by monsters.

The situation within China became increasingly stable. As the monsters in cities were cleared away, new cities were built from the ruins.

Some residents of the base city began to relocate.

In the wilderness, safe zones have been opened up one after another, and construction projects are in full swing everywhere. There is a shortage of people everywhere, and almost everyone is busy.

Globally unified!

The era of standardized writing and standardized cart tracks has arrived!

Qin Ming stopped paying attention to the ups and downs in the outside world.

He has done everything he was supposed to do.

The rest is up to Jia Yi and his group.

For three whole months, Qin Ming stayed quietly in the military camp.

They might train in a gravity chamber, absorb the essence of blood and flesh, or the Wood Crystal, or their consciousness might enter a virtual space to learn the legacy of the Meteorite Star.

As his strength rapidly increased, the carnage within the Gu-raising mode of the Myriad Soul Banner gradually subsided.

"It's time to go to Ruins No. 12 and get the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship."

Qin Ming, whose expression had cleared, murmured to himself.
