Even those intelligence personnel with official identities, when their countries inquired with the Holy Zhou Kingdom through diplomatic channels after their disappearance, the Holy Zhou Kingdom invariably replied that no such person could be found.

The high-ranking officials of both the Anglo-Chinese and Aryan nations were filled with anxiety, but there was nothing they could do but pin their last hopes on nuclear deterrence. At the same time, they secretly built various nuclear shelters and stored a variety of supplies to prepare for a possible large-scale nuclear war.

In this atmosphere of apparent relaxation but underlying tension, another half year passed.

Over the past six months, the situation on White Eagle Island has remained largely unchanged.

The East Coast remains trapped in its isolated city under the power of the [Elf Princess]. The Apocalypse Warriors cannot break in, but they cannot get out either, and their lives are almost completely cut off from the world.

The White Eagle government on the west coast is barely able to be self-sufficient thanks to the few large resource and production sites it has reclaimed, but it is also unable to expand its territory—their army is crippled and, being too far from the coast to receive fleet support, is absolutely no match for the Apocalypse Warrior Legion.

The Truth Society is only doing well in the northern part of White Eagle Continent, where it now has the largest territory and the most people. They mainly rely on those powerful and bizarre creatures who possess the Ghost Realm. When the Apocalypse Warrior Legion attacks, they hide in the Ghost Realm, making it impossible for the Apocalypse Warriors to capture a single one. Once the main force of the Apocalypse Warriors retreats, they emerge again to farm. The small number of Apocalypse Warriors are no match for the Truth Society.

The situation in the Holy Zhou Kingdom was similarly calm, with many high-ranking officials from Yinglan and Aryan even believing that the incident at Shenyin Village was over and done with... Since the Holy Zhou Kingdom hadn't pursued it for so long, they probably wouldn't pursue it any further.

It was a beautiful, sunny day, and no one noticed anything unusual. At most, those living north of Kyoto in Sakura Province noticed that several large, radar-like cauldrons seemed to have suddenly appeared on the top of the Witch Tower.

People just assumed that the new research institute had made some new invention, and at most they would talk about it with their friends out of curiosity, but they didn't take it seriously.

Inside the Witch's Tower.

Qin Huanyu was already lying in her personal brainwave enhancement device, the "magic wand," waiting for the countdown, which had less than three minutes left, to end.

"Please, Sister Yu."

Below the countdown screen is a video communication window.

Today, Wu Xiqun wasn't wearing either a gorgeous palace dress or comfortable sportswear; instead, she was unusually dressed in a purple military uniform, and her expression was very solemn.

"Grandma's health is getting worse and worse. This year is likely to be the last New Year she will see. I want to give her a special New Year's gift."

"Don't worry, Skirt."

Qin Huanyu chuckled confidently:

"These past six months of forbearance will not be wasted. I will make the enemy understand that times have changed—even nuclear deterrence can no longer maintain this disgusting false peace. All their conspiracies and tricks will become a joke under the crushing power of technology! They will never have any chance to turn the tables again, generation after generation!"

Amidst soft laughter, the countdown ended.

[Wand] activated, the witch's consciousness reigns supreme over the world, and no electronic device can resist it.

Yinglan and Aryan had no time to react; many of their officers were even on vacation having affairs with their lovers when the military bases began to slip out of control one after another.

In the first phase, Qin Huanyu, who had gained control of the Yinglan and Aryan military bases with the help of a dedicated brainwave enhancement device, only did two things.

The first thing was that the grand fireworks display of the White Eagle Federation was recreated that year, and all the nuclear missiles of the Yinglan and Aryan were launched into space and detonated near their orbits, interfering with and destroying satellites, severely affecting the network communications of the entire Western Continent.

The second thing was that Qin Huanyu detonated all the conventional weapons of Yinglan and Aryan that could be detonated by electronic devices, setting off fireworks at almost all military bases of Yinglan and Aryan. More than a million soldiers from both countries were wiped out in the explosions without even knowing what was happening.

From the uncontrolled launch of the first nuclear missile into space to the detonation of all conventional weapons at the last military base, less than half an hour had passed.

The nobles of England and Aryans reacted quickly, but instead of trying to fight back, they hurriedly hid in their pre-built underground shelters, completely sealing the entrances, intending to live a life of debauchery until their resources were exhausted and never come out again.

The people of England and the Aryans were thus abandoned by the officials and the rich.

But Qin Huanyu did not abandon them.

After taking control of all the military bases that could be taken over, Qin Huanyu did not stop using the [Wand], and also took over all the electronic equipment of civilian facilities in Yinglan and Aryan.

The nuclear fireworks in space damaged the satellite, but the ground base stations and network cables were still usable. Qin Huanyu managed to restore some civilian communications between the two countries and sent a message to all civilians in both countries via mobile phone.

The message was very simple; it was prepared in advance by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Saint Zhou, and it taught civilians how to protect themselves during wartime and avoid being caught in the crossfire.

The message clearly stated that the army of the Holy Zhou Kingdom would next occupy Yinglan and Aryan. Any civilians who followed the instructions in the mass-sent message would not be harmed, and their lives and personal property would be protected.

Conversely, if any civilians engage in any form of resistance—including verbally abusing the Holy Zhou Kingdom and making inappropriate remarks online—they will be stripped of their civilian status, treated as soldiers, and at best, become prisoners of war and forced into lifelong slave labor.

Those who were more intelligent and calm were able to restrain themselves and wait for the arrival of the Holy Zhou army according to the instructions in the mass message.

Those who are emotionally volatile immediately start hurling insults, unaware that their phone's front-facing camera has been secretly turned on, recording their foul language towards the Holy Zhou Kingdom... These will become the source of their suffering for the rest of their lives.

Following the attack of the [magic wand], the army of the Holy Zhou Kingdom advanced.

With a fleet consisting of seven seven-star space carriers as the main force, a large number of troops entered the Aryan Republic first from the air and the ground.

Even after being swept away by the [magic wand], Yinglan and Aryan were not completely powerless.

Qin Huanyu, who used the brainwave enhancement device, could control all electronic devices, but only electronic devices; she could not control those old-fashioned purely mechanical devices.

Therefore, the Indus and Aryans still have a batch of equipment that is at least thirty years old and can be used. Some soldiers who are lucky enough to be training in the field and not stationed at the base can still fight.

Every nation has patriots and loyal soldiers, and the Anglo-Aryans are no exception.

These soldiers, who had completely lost their superiors, did not give up. They dug out their old guns and tanks to prepare for battle.

Some people even flew out an old fighter jet that had been retired for almost 40 years, but unfortunately it crashed on its own before it could get very high—the fighter jet was just too old.

The resistance fighters were incredibly brave; some soldiers even dared to face the space carrier head-on with single-shot rifles.

But it was completely useless. The technological gap between the two sides' weapons and equipment was too great. The soldiers of Yinglan and Aryan could not even find where the Holy Zhou army was, and they all died in the drone bombs and long-range artillery fire.

The army of the Holy Zhou Kingdom did not show any contempt or ridicule towards these enemy soldiers who knew they were no match but still resisted. Instead, they treated them seriously and let them die like heroes... This was the greatest respect for a respectable opponent. Persuading them to surrender or directly capturing them would be a humiliation.

While the remaining ground forces of the English and Aryans put up a stubborn resistance, some English and Aryans, seeing that the navy of the Holy Zhou Kingdom had not yet arrived, planned to travel by sea to the east coast of White Eagle Continent to seek refuge with the [Elf Princess].

They were basically people who had offended the Holy Zhou Kingdom to the core, and they would rather be Mary Sue's lapdogs than be captured by the Holy Zhou Kingdom's army and forced into hard labor.

The east coast of White Eagle Continent did not refuse them. After all, those who were able to escape by sea during the war were all extraordinary people, each carrying considerable wealth and resources, which could expand the strength of the east coast of White Eagle Continent... Even the most useless jewels in the midst of war could be used to please the [Elf Princess] on the east coast of White Eagle Continent.

For this reason, the east coast of White Eagle Island has even made preparations to receive them.

However, they didn't even get to see one of the Anglo-Aryan escape ships; all of them lost contact en route, and the last communications before losing contact usually mentioned a few words.

Sea monster! Great sea monster! Terrible sea monster!

Those final cries were so terrifying that the people on the east coast of White Eagle Island fell silent upon hearing them, let alone offer to go to the rescue.

None of those who tried to escape managed to get away, and those who hid in the underground shelters also met a bad end.

What era are we living in? Do you still think you can just dig a hole underground and hide safely?

impossible.

The forces that conquered England and the Aryans were an army of a nation, not mindless zombies.

Various types of detectors were deployed in turn, and even superhumans with keen senses took action. No matter how well the shelters were hidden, they were all dug up and everyone inside was captured.

The entire Western Continent felt like it was in a dream. In less than a week, the two world-class superpowers, England and Aryan, were finished.

The army was almost completely wiped out, with few prisoners. The upper-class social elites either mysteriously disappeared while fleeing or were captured from their refugees.

The civilians who did not resist were fine; the army of the Holy Zhou Kingdom did not harm them or rob their private property. They even provided them with food and supplies, treated the wounded, and provided medical care for the sick.

Furthermore, the Holy Zhou Kingdom announced that all civilians from the Anglo-Lanian and Aryan countries who did not resist in the war could join the Holy Zhou Kingdom on the spot and become its citizens, living in the newly established counties of the Holy Zhou Kingdom thereafter.

The newly established counties were basically the original territories of the English and Aryan people. This meant that these people were still living in their hometowns, and their personal property was not lost at all. In fact, they even received a raise after the change of bosses, so naturally they had no rebellious sentiments.

Even when processing international change procedures, these Anglo-Chinese and Aryan people would encounter people wearing white coats who didn't look like doctors, and they would lose consciousness for a period of time, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

Those with strong nationalistic sentiments have either died or been forced into hard labor. The remaining civilians are more open-minded; as long as they can live well from now on, they don't care what ethnicity or nationality they belong to in the future.

Of course, some people were only pretending to comply, secretly wanting to resist, and even fantasizing that one day they would become heroes who restored their country.

However, after they completed the nationality change procedures, they were placed under close surveillance, and all their thoughts were displayed on the screen as text.

More than half a year ago, the Holy Zhou Kingdom had already decided to send troops to destroy Yinglan and Aryan, and then sweep across the Western Continent to complete the unification of human civilization.

The reason they didn't act immediately wasn't because they were afraid of the nuclear threat from Yinglan and the Aryans... Qin Huanyu could have dealt with those threats using her [magic wand] back then.

The real concern was the governance after the war.

It doesn't matter what means are used to annihilate enemy soldiers, but massacring civilians is unacceptable, as it would face strong opposition even within the Holy Zhou Kingdom itself.

Even if you destroy the enemy's country, as long as the enemy's people are still alive, there will always be people who want to restore their country and fight for it with their lives, disrupting the security of the occupied territory.

The Holy Zhou Kingdom desires unification and truly wants to lead all of humanity to progress. It cannot tolerate dissenting voices, and engaging in battles of wits and courage with the underground resistance is a huge waste of resources.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu proposed a solution that would solve the problem once and for all, which was also her latest research result over the past six months.

When Qin Huanyu participated in the selection and assessment for the princess consort, she proposed a plan to implant chips in the brains of criminals to monitor their thoughts and prevent them from committing crimes again after their release from prison.

Later, for various reasons, this plan was shelved and was not used on the citizens of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, not even criminals.

However, if it's for the purpose of consolidating control over the occupied territories and giving it to enemy people, then it doesn't matter. Moreover, with the White Eagle Federation's mechanical spider technology, it would be easy for Qin Huanyu to produce such a chip. The difficulty lies in how to reduce costs and achieve efficient mass production.

In fact, Qin Huanyu only took half a month to make the first generation of chips. The next half year was spent optimizing the technology and reducing the cost to a very low level, so that everyone in the Western Continent occupied area could be equipped with one.

Those who have had these chips implanted may seem to have lost their privacy and suffer a very miserable fate, but considering their status as victims of a fallen nation, their end is actually quite good.

Their lives and personal property are protected, and they have no worries about their future.

As long as the recipient abides by the law and does not rebel, these implanted brain chips can even quickly locate the recipient when they encounter danger, allowing rescue to arrive faster and save lives.

When chip technology becomes more mature, it won't be impossible to access the internet through the brain, like in cyberpunk science fiction. At that time, many people might even voluntarily request to have chips implanted in their brains.

Chapter 216 Gifts from my father-in-law and mother-in-law?

Less than half a month after the Anglo-Aryan Empire was destroyed in a flash, the army of the Holy Zhou Kingdom had already completed the occupation of the entire territory of the two countries and basically maintained order... Some of the cities that were occupied earlier have even resumed production and life.

With the help of brain chips, those who resisted and those with strong rebellious sentiments were screened out and forced to do hard labor. Those who could continue to live in their original cities were considered obedient citizens.

There are quite a few of these people, who make up more than 60% of the total population of the two countries.

These people who grew up under the influence of capitalism do have their advantages. They are indifferent to loyalty; whoever pays their salary is their boss, and they don't care about nationality or ethnicity.

With both major powers defeated so quickly, the remaining small countries in the Western Continent were filled with fear and unease.

They lacked nuclear weapons, and their conventional armies were no match for the Holy Zhou Kingdom. They couldn't even understand the technology the Holy Zhou Kingdom used. Many died without ever understanding why the Anglo-Aryan nuclear missiles were launched into space, or how those military bases exploded.

When the space carrier fleet advanced in conjunction with ground forces, many people in the Western Continent even thought they had taken too much medicine and were still not awake. Some people frantically asked the people around them what year it was, feeling as if they had traveled to the future.

However, the intention of the Holy Zhou Kingdom to sweep away the Western Continent and unify humanity is no longer concealed, and the countries of the Western Continent must make a choice.

There aren't really any options.

If you don't want to be beaten to death or captured and forced into hard labor, you have no choice but to surrender.

Anyway, it's not like we haven't surrendered before.

Many small states were originally counties and provinces of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, only gaining independence and joining the Free Alliance after the war more than 70 years ago. Now, with one of the three leaders of the Free Alliance crippled and two dead, they can only revert from independent small states back to counties or provinces.

The Holy Zhou Kingdom welcomed all the small kingdoms of the Western Continent who came to surrender.

The conditions remain the same: as long as you abide by the law and do not rebel, the Holy Zhou Kingdom will guarantee your personal safety and property security.

With brain-computer interface technology available, there's no need to worry about anyone causing trouble in secret; any conspiracy or trickery will be thwarted at the idea stage.

With the surrender of dozens of small countries in the Western Continent, the Free Alliance completely vanished, and the Holy Zhou Kingdom finally fulfilled its greatest wish in terms of territory over the past thousand years—its territory is surrounded by seas, with the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Pacific Ocean to the east, the Arctic Ocean to the north, and the South China Sea to the south (India in this world was destroyed by the Holy Zhou Kingdom long ago, so there is no Indian Ocean, only the South China Sea).

Qin Huanyu had nothing to do with the subsequent occupation and management. In fact, she only did two things in this war: develop brain chips to strengthen the control of the occupied areas and use the [magic wand] to paralyze the enemy's military power. She did not even go to the front line of the battlefield, but she had already decided the outcome of the war.

Wu Xiqun was very excited. After the surrender of the Western Continent countries, she personally went there to deliver victory declarations on behalf of the royal family of the Holy Zhou Kingdom. She also held concerts in the original administrative centers of the English and Aryan countries to comfort the soldiers on the front lines. Afterwards, she ordered all those places to be transformed into tourist attractions so that the people of the Holy Zhou Kingdom could visit them for free and witness their great achievements.

The White Eagle Continent expressed limited shock at the news that the Western Continent had been swallowed up by the Holy Zhou Kingdom, but that was all.

The White Eagle government on the West Coast has been receiving basic material aid from the Holy Zhou Kingdom for the past few years, and they have long been de facto allies of the Holy Zhou Kingdom. Now that the Holy Zhou Kingdom has become even stronger, objectively speaking, it can only benefit them.

The major cities on the east coast were initially worried, since they were trapped in isolated cities and the supply of basic necessities was also a problem. In recent years, they had relied on the support of the Western Continent countries. Now that the Western Continent countries have become provinces and counties of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, will there still be material support?

Of course, there are still some. The Holy Zhou Kingdom hopes to trap the aliens from the Gospel Apocalypse Church on White Eagle Island and slowly defeat them. The west coast and the east coast are the front lines, and material support must be guaranteed.

The Holy Zhou Kingdom will not only continue to support the major cities on the east coast via sea transport from the Atlantic, but will also provide more supplies than the Western Continent countries have provided before.

These major cities on the East Coast said nothing more, and the Elf Princess even declared that the main continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific had been the territory of the Holy Zhou Kingdom since ancient times, and that acknowledging this was the key to maintaining the friendship between the major cities on the East Coast and the Holy Zhou Kingdom, and so on.

The new world order was thus established. The Holy Zhou Kingdom, which had completely unified the main continent, could basically represent the entirety of human civilization.

As for the Hot Sand Island south of Xizhou and the Rainforest Island south of White Eagle Island, they have always been very different from the world of the transmigrator in Qin Huanyu's mind.

Because of the extraordinary power in this world, the Age of Exploration began hundreds of years earlier. Established powers had long regarded these two continents as wild resource points and secretly used many means, which resulted in the fact that these two continents still do not have national-level human civilizations, only various primitive tribes.

The Holy Zhou Kingdom also did not intend to over-exploit these two continents. Instead, it chose to protect its resources and only established trade relations with a few larger primitive tribes, exchanging the cheapest industrial products for various high-quality natural resources from them.

. . . . .

After the war ended, Qin Huanyu returned to her previous life, traveling back and forth between the Witch Tower, White Light City, and Divine Capital every day using the network teleportation of the imaginary space. Occasionally, she would also go to universities or television stations in various places to participate in academic seminars and program interviews.

That day, Qin Huanyu had just accompanied Yi Youyou to a social ball hosted by the royal family in the capital when she returned to the Witch Tower, intending to check on the progress of her research.

However, after appearing on the computer screen on her office desk, Qin Huanyu's relaxed expression immediately turned serious, her eyes filled with vigilance.

Her office in the Witch Tower was invaded by an outsider—a very cute piece of paper was placed in the most conspicuous position on her desk.

The Witch Tower is now the most advanced research institution in the Holy Zhou Kingdom, with a security level second only to the Imperial Palace. Qin Huanyu's office is of utmost importance—there are many scraps of paper on her desk with casual scribbles and drawings, which would be top-secret technical documents if taken outside.

Because Qin Huanyu had a habit of scribbling and drawing to record her inspirations, she was even assigned two female assistants whose only job was to collect or destroy the scraps of paper in a timely manner.

This office has been hacked without alerting anyone... Only a top-tier superhuman could have done this, so Qin Huanyu cannot afford to be careless.
