Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 407 - 407 400 The Great Era

407: Chapter 400: The Great Era 407: Chapter 400: The Great Era Uncle Wang noticed Su Mo’s lack of enthusiasm and spoke up, “Su Mo, what’s wrong with you?

You don’t look very happy?”

“No, just thinking about something,”

Su Mo responded indifferently.

Just then, the music on the television suddenly intensified, rallying everyone’s emotions once again.

Long Ming walked onto the stage with Augustus, Ithlin, and Spade.

At the same time, Miss Becky and Zhao Moshuang stepped aside.

Su Mo squinted his eyes, sensing a change in the atmosphere.

Long Ming and his group bowed to the audience and then he began, “Hello everyone, I am Long Ming.

I appreciate that everyone could take the time to watch this glorious ceremony.

I’m sure you all feel as I do, filled with vigor!

I’m incredibly proud of the honored heroes here today.”

Long Ming paused, his tone turning grave, “But now I must reveal something to all of you, something monumental.

We are about to face a historic decision that involves the life and death of everyone and the continuation of our civilization.”

As these words were spoken, people around the world watching the livestream were stunned, each wearing a bewildered expression.

“That is the upcoming Heavenly Cup, which is entirely different in nature from the Earth Cup.

If we had to compare, one could only say, one is a warm-up, the other is harsh reality.

I’ll be honest with you, the world we went to in the Earth Cup actually exists, and you all saw that civilization perish.

What you don’t know is that they had also participated in the Earth Cup, and the main nation there, Dragon Country, even qualified for the Heavenly Cup.”

“But they chose to opt out of the Heavenly Cup, and as a result, their civilization was annihilated.

Now, similarly, we face the same choice: either participate in the Heavenly Cup or cowardly abandon it like they did.”

Long Ming said passionately.

He had made it very clear.

The difference between Heavenly Cup and Earth Cup was like fighting in someone else’s home versus our own, where one meant a chance at survival, the other was a brutal fight for life.

Moreover, there was no choice; not to fight meant waiting for a slow death, while fighting at least offered a slim chance of survival.

At this moment, images in grids began to appear on the screen, showing images of people gathered in open-air plazas in various regions.

The expressions of fear and unease were evident on people’s faces everywhere.

Long Ming spoke solemnly, “There’s a saying, either perish in silence or erupt in silence.

I call upon everyone to unite and join the battle for the Heavenly Cup!

Don’t worry, we are not unprepared.

Fifty years ago, when we first participated in the Earth Cup, we acquired some technologies.

However, we did not join the Heavenly Cup immediately, thinking we could use those technologies to improve our environment.

But you’ve seen that not only has our living environment not improved, but it has also grown worse.

At that time, we realized that evasion wouldn’t solve anything.

You might be wondering why, despite such scarce resources, we bred many people.

Today, I’m telling you, this was preparation for the Heavenly Cup!”

At these words, there was a stir among the crowd.

Then, Augustus stepped forward and said, “Although I too fear the unknown journey, I’d rather die standing than perish meekly in silence.

I support Long Ming’s proposal to fight for the Heavenly Cup!”

“Men, let’s take up arms and fight!

I call on everyone in E country to join in.”

Spade declared forcefully.

“There is nothing to fear in death, despair without hope is the true terror.

I agree with battling for the Star Ring’s Heavenly Cup!”

“R country also agrees with fighting for the Heavenly Cup!”

Fujiwara Tani also stood up and declared,

At this time, each Council President started standing up and declaring one after another.

“We agree too, better to die fighting!”

Suddenly, the atmosphere at the venue erupted, and as each Council President stood to declare their support, the fearful expressions on many faces gradually faded, replaced by shouts of fervor.

“What are we afraid of, let’s fight with them!”

…..

At this moment, Long Ming, seeing the atmosphere picking up, formally announced, “I am proud of you all for your bravery, but this is, after all, a matter that concerns everyone’s fate.

Therefore, I have decided to hold a public vote on whether to participate in the Heavenly Cup.

All voting channels are now open; you can text your vote to the official mailbox via your mobile phones or cast your vote at designated polling stations.

The minority will adhere to the majority’s decision.

No objections, I assume.”

“None!”

The crowd shouted in unison.

“With that said, I now officially declare the voting open!

You have three hours.”

Long Ming declared gravely.

Immediately following the ceremonial evening, a holographic screen appeared showing a statistical percentage.

The percentage in favor of participating in the Star Ring—Heavenly Cup jumped from zero to one percent almost instantly and began to rise rapidly.

In truth, the plan to participate in the Heavenly Cup had been confirmed long ago.

Long Ming and the others had organized this public vote to prevent any complaints or regrets that might arise were they to face extreme adversity or difficulties in the future, using these as an excuse to disrupt and weaken everyone’s resolve.

After all, how could one regret a choice they themselves had made?

Of course, the result of the vote was predictable; an overwhelming approval was inevitable, with no surprises expected….

In the ruins of Demon City, Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhao watched this scene, too shocked to speak.

“A change is coming.”

“It’s not just a change; a great era is upon us.”

Su Mo felt his blood boiling mysteriously, having a strong premonition that the Heavenly Cup was indeed a real strategic competition as he had suspected.

“Say, Su Mo, do you agree?”

Uncle Wang asked somewhat disconcertedly.

“Agreed.”

Su Mo responded without hesitation; he had witnessed the downfall of Dragon Country firsthand—the world was not as wonderful as imagined.

“Since Su Mo agrees, then deciding to participate must be the right choice.”

Uncle Wang responded, nodding.

At that moment, Uncle Zhao exclaimed in surprise, “Look quickly, the approval percentage is rising fast, already at 30%.

The opposition is only at 0.7%, with abstentions at just 0.2%.”

At this point, the screen switched to various celebrities and elite figures.

They began urging everyone to participate in the Star Ring—Heavenly Cup, noting the critical nature of the support preparations.

“I am Becki, and I am cheering for our campaign in the Star Ring—Heavenly Cup!

I believe the future belongs to us.”

“I am Zhao Moshuang, invincible bravely, I believe victory belongs to us.”
