Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class

Chapter 199: Former Cultivation Civilization

The cultivation world?

Hearing these words, Lu Dewei was instantly stunned. He felt as if he had been electrocuted.

Does… does that mean that the President already knew that cultivation existed?

Presently, Lu Dewei’s mind was in a mess.

When the President saw Lu Dewei’s reaction, he appeared calm, as if he had expected it.

“Dewei. you mentioned the immortal cultivators, so you must have come into contact with them!” the President said.

Lu Dewei nodded. He stared fixedly at the President, wondering what he would say next.

“Actually, after many years of investigation, it can be confirmed that cultivation does indeed exist.”

The President picked up his teacup and continued, “Our planet once experienced a period of immortal cultivation civilization.

“This Enlightenment Tea has been passed down since the era of the immortal cultivation civilization. ”

“Do you know how many years it has been?” the President asked.

Lu Dewei shook his head.

“Using this Enlightenment Tea, we estimate that the cultivation civilization to be approximately two billion years old.”

Two billion years?

That long?

Lu Dewei was very surprised.

“After so long, everything has changed. Nothing can resist the corrosion of time. Everything has probably been worn away!”

“That’s right! After so long, nothing can be left behind.

“However, this Enlightenment has gone against science.

“It was through science that we discovered such a brilliant cultivation civilization.

“However, that brilliance was only in the past.

“Putting aside the scarcity of spiritual energy in the current world. the pollution brought about by industrial development has already caused a huge impact on human survival.”

Hearing this roused some thoughts and emotions in Lu Dewei.

It was as the President had said. If it continued to develop in such a disorderly manner, it would no longer be suitable for human inhabitation.

“Dewei, I was actually very happy when you said you discovered the immortal cultivators.

“But…”

The President suddenly stopped speaking.

At this moment, Lu Dewei was extremely focused and listened carefully.

“What is to come is coming.”

Lu Dewei gripped the jade talisman tightly.

The President stared at Lu Dewei and said solemnly, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to the cultivators.

“However, I hope that when the calamity arrives, the cultivators can take care of those monsters.”

Lu Dewei was a little surprised. The script had actually changed, and things had not gone according to what he imagined.

The President smiled. “Don’t look at me like that. We’ve been friends for more than ten years. You know, I’m not that petty.”

Lu Dewei secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

However, he still had doubts.

Listening to the President’s earlier words, he tacitly approved of the existence of cultivators. However, he didn’t order the military to cultivate. Instead, he told cultivators to lend a hand when needed.

This was rather intriguing.

There were still about three years before the monsters awakened. Cultivating was a long process. Although cultivating for three years would not make one an expert, one’s strength would definitely be many times stronger than it is now.

If he wanted the army to cultivate, he didn’t need all of them to do so. He just needed to select some elite soldiers.

This way, it would not be too difficult for the military to deal with the monsters.

Hence, he voiced out his doubts.

“President, are you not planning to let the army cultivate?” Lu Dewei asked.

The President shook his head and said slowly, “Dewei, you have no idea how serious the world situation is.”

“You’re referring to the experimental subjects, right?”

“That’s right.”

“I read in the newspapers that they’re only a threat to small countries. As a great nation, we can easily wipe out the experimental subjects that have barged in,” Lu Dewei said confidently.

He understood Xia Country’s power. The experimental subjects were not a threat at all.

However, the President said, “Dewei, you’ve been busy having discussions with the martial arts families and finding Land Immortals. You have no idea what the current state of the world truly is.”

Lu Dewei frowned and said, “President, is the real situation more serious than what is being reported in the newspapers?”

The President nodded and said in a low voice: “It’s more than serious. It’s as severe as the monster calamity that may happen.”

Lu Dewei’s heart dropped, and his expression became grave.

The official took a sip of tea and glanced at the newspaper beside Lu Dewei. “Don’t read such newspapers. The contents are unrealistic.”

“The number of experimental subjects now far exceeds our estimates. Furthermore, they have already started to mutate.

“The mutated experimental subjects are stronger, with better defense and vitality. Killing them would be several times more difficult than before.

“Now, Dai State and Hei State have already fallen. Those places have become disaster areas, it is completely hell on earth. ”

When Lu Dewei heard this, he was extremely shocked.

It had only been less than three months since the experimental subjects went out of control and escaped out of the research facility in Yun Country.

It was unbelievable that they had become this terrifying.

Lu Dewei frowned and asked, “Sir, can we not control the number of experimental subjects?”

The official said seriously, “Their reproduction speed is like that of viruses. Simply uncontrollable.

“Just as the newspapers said, the Western countries were preparing to launch nuclear weapons in Dai State and Hei State to completely eliminate the experimental subjects there.”

“Didn’t the people from Yun Country say that it would cause a mutation?”

“Yes, that’s right! After all, the experimental subjects have already started to mutate. We’re worried that if the release of nuclear weapons allows them to mutate at a deeper level, that would undoubtedly make things worse.” The President said.

“For the past two days, we’ve been having video conferences with the world leaders, and we’ve finally decided that every country will send troops to Dai State and Hei State.

“Their reproduction rate is terrifying. If Dai State and Hei State do not control them, the experimental subjects will be able to end the human civilization before the monsters awaken.

“Dewei, you understand too.

“There are many small countries in the vicinity of Xia Country. Given their temperament, they probably wouldn’t go all out against the experimental subjects.

“If these small countries get invaded by the experimental subjects, we will be in danger.

“Therefore, in addition to sending a large number of troops to Dai State and Hei State, we also need to deploy troops to be stationed in those small countries.

“In that case, it will be difficult for me to send more men to cultivate in the present situation.”

Lu Dewei expressed that he could understand, given the current grim situation.

“Dewei, I’m actually quite grateful to you today.” The President smiled.

Lu Dewei asked curiously, “Thank me for what?”

“You gave me hope,” said the President meaningfully.

“Hope?” Lu Dewei thought for a moment. “Are you talking about the immortal cultivators?”

“That’s right.” The President nodded. “We’ve always believed that ever since the end of the cultivation civilization, cultivation has become extinct.

“Although we had been secretly searching, we had never found anything.

“It was you who brought me hope.”

Lu Dewei scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. “What if I said it was a joke?”

The President smiled. “You know, no one can lie to me.”
