Primordial Era: I, Emperor Donghua, establish the Immortal Court

Chapter 144 The Statue of the Eastern King!

After everything was decided.

Soon after, Luo Ji made another call to Hines and Jonathan.

The two hadn't even finished what they were doing when they received a call from Luo Ji. They stared blankly at Luo Ji on the other side of the projector.

"What's wrong now? You're not going to regret this, are you, Luo?"

Hines rested his chin on his hand and said with a helpless expression.

"No, there's no way I'll regret it. I just wanted to let you know that we're adding another project to select some children from around the world who are outstanding in both character and intelligence."

"Oh, right, let's build another base, and put a statue of the Emperor inside as well."

Luo Ji's mouth was like a cannon, rattling off a whole bunch of instructions.

"ha?"

Hearing Luo Ji's words, the two were dumbfounded once again.

"Are you kidding me? Are these really meant to fight the Trisolarans? Luo, are you out of your mind?!"

The two said, finding it hard to accept.

Luo Ji looks like he's trying to build a cult.

Building idols, constructing bases, and even selecting children—the more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes!

"This is part of the Wallfacer Project."

Luo Ji, relaxed and carefree, uttered those words once again.

The last time he brought it up was not long ago, and now he feels no pressure to say it again.

"OK!"

The two looked at each other.

After pondering for a long time, he gritted his teeth and decided to grant Luo Ji's request.

"However... you must go and lead the snowfield project."

The two of them put forward a condition.

The so-called snowfield project was the plan that Luo Ji had previously conceived.

This was proposed to break the Trisolarans' blockade of the sun.

Hines and Jonathan naturally gave their full support to this matter, as they also thought it was a brilliant plan.

However, they couldn't understand Luo Jixin's new demands at all.

Not only do they not understand it, but the general public certainly doesn't understand it either.

Therefore, they need Luo Ji to lead the snowfield project while carrying out this new plan, so as to boost public confidence and appease Luo Ji's subsequent actions.

"no problem."

Luo Ji understood, nodded, and did not refuse.

Originally, he considered the snowfield project as his only way out, and he was even prepared to perish together with the Trisolarans.

However, the situation is completely different now.

Cultivating immortality is the true path to power.

Luo Ji was already imagining what it would be like when the Trisolaran fleet arrived and saw him leading this group of cultivators.

They'd probably be shocked and excitedly exclaiming, "This is a Level 1 civilization?!"

Of course, that's what we think, but we still have to see the final result.

Only by maintaining stability in the present can we envision the future.

Soon, just as Luo Ji had said.

Hines and Jonathan immediately convened a United Nations meeting to bring the matter to the forefront and inform the prime ministers of various countries.

Although most leaders of various countries did not agree with this inexplicable plan, they had no choice but to obey it at this critical juncture because Luo Ji was the only and most important Wallfacer.

Ultimately, doing these things doesn't actually require much effort; when the world unites, it's just a drop in the ocean.

A month has passed.

"Beep beep beep!"

Luo Ji was still cultivating when he was suddenly awakened by a rapid ringing of the telephone.

Upon opening the call, I was immediately startled to find it was a video call between Hines and Jonathan, and I chose to answer it.

"How is it?!"

Before the two could speak, Luo Ji asked first.

"As per your request, the base is complete, located in the Kunlun Mountains. I'll send you the location; come quickly."

Jonathan's figure appeared on the other side.

"No problem, I'll be right there!"

Luo Ji was thrilled and nodded in agreement.

Immediately, he spurred his horse and hurried over with Shi Qiang!

This is the summit of Kunlun Mountain, a height of five or six thousand meters above sea level.

A large area of ​​open space was cleared out, and the base that Luo Ji had requested was located on top of it.

It could be described as a base, or it could be described as a palace.

Its area alone is nearly 100,000 square kilometers, which is magnificent and shows that a lot of money was spent on it. It is almost a third the size of the Forbidden City.

Luo Ji stepped inside, and the interior decoration surprised him even more. He was dazzled by all kinds of high-tech and luxurious furniture.

"Good heavens..."

Shi Qiang, standing to the side, was so shocked by what he saw that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

As a 21st-century person, I have rarely seen such a scene.

He was even told he was about to move in.

Just thinking about that feeling made Shi Qiang excited.

"sharp……"

Even Luo Ji's lips twitched; he hadn't expected the base he requested to be built so luxuriously.

However, upon closer reflection, with today's technological level, achieving these things is not difficult.

The two walked side by side, passing through several palaces, and arrived at the very center of the base.

The area is covered with greenery for ornamental purposes.

The building in the very center made the two of them stare wide-eyed.

That's right, it's the statue of the Eastern King Duke that Luo Ji requested!

It stands several hundred meters tall and is entirely made of gold, so bright and dazzling that it's hard to open your eyes.

In terms of grandeur and luxury, it is several times more magnificent than Buddha, God, or the Statue of Liberty!

Holy crap!

Shi Qiang was stunned again and blurted out, "National essence!"

"this……"

Luo Ji was also shocked on the spot.

He thought that Hines and Jonathan, looking reluctant, might just do a perfunctory job, but to his surprise, they did so well, completely exceeding his expectations.

Although I don't understand it, this is a good thing.

"They're here."

Suddenly, from a palace on the other side, Hines and Jonathan walked over with smiles on their faces.

Clearly, they had been waiting here for quite some time.

"Thanks!"

Luo Ji nodded and gave the two of them a grateful look.

"It's alright. You're a Wallfacer, so your requirements will naturally be based on the highest standards, no matter what."

"Hey, come out here!"

Jonathan said with a smile, then paused, and suddenly turned around and clapped his hands.

"hey-hey!"

The next moment, a huge group of children rushed out of the palace behind him, filling the entire center of the base!

"These are the children you wanted."

Jonathan laughed and spread his hands.

Looking around, Luo Ji saw a bustling crowd that made him feel somewhat dizzy.

"Holy crap! There must be at least tens of thousands of people here!"

Shi Qiang couldn't hold back again and swore.

Luo Ji swallowed hard, calmed himself down, and then glanced at all the children.

As Shi Qiang said, there are about 10,000 people here.

Among them are people of all skin colors, almost encompassing the entire world.

"Luo, aren't you surprised? You didn't expect there to be so many?"

"Haha, actually we didn't expect that either."

"After all, out of humanitarian considerations, even if it's at the request of you, a Wallfacer, we cannot force you to bring the child here."

"However, when they heard that it was your savior Luo Ji's plan, none of them resisted it; on the contrary, they were quite willing."

Hines and Jonathan exchanged a glance, then said with a smile.
