From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 848 - 497: Unprecedented Unity of Human Civilization
Nuclear Weapon Silence Plan.
A plan about to usher in a new era for human civilization.
Abyss invasion, emergence of high-level civilization, humanity has arrived at the crossroads of destiny.
From the standpoint of civilization, all humans should unite to face future crises and opportunities together.
Yet preaching the unity of all humans sounds more like a joke.
The world is simply a grand farce.
Some play the role of president, waging proxy wars for suzerain states.
Others assume presidency, issue virtual currency, and manipulate stock markets to make money.
The world hegemon is the descendant of robbers, the wicked axis powers merely want to farm and build infrastructure.
The Abyss Descent only makes those who exploit money do so more frantically, those who commit genocide act more brazenly.
Those holding nuclear bombs confidently speak loudly, taxing heavily those who don’t kowtow.
The world hegemon’s military weapon specs are all inflated.
Yet, some foolishly took a PPT drawn by their opponent, created real things, only to realize later they’d been duped.
...
The Abyss Descent indeed changed the times, but not thoroughly enough.
Lu Heng had endured enough of the wars instigated by robber rulers, so upon hearing the Nuclear Weapon Silence Plan, he agreed without hesitation.
Blue Star’s extent of Abyssal Contamination has exceeded 50%.
At times like these, humanity truly should unite.
Human civilization needs just one voice, and only one voice should control nuclear weapons; that is the foundation of unity.
The first step of the Nuclear Weapon Silence Plan is to silence all nuclear weapons, invalidate all launch codes.
Then proceed to the second step: gradually unite all humanity, making nuclear weapons only used against Abyssal invasions, not targeted at other human countries.
Once the plan is set, it is immediately activated.
The first step of the plan must be conducted secretly, with contents and objectives not disclosed, to prevent nuclear deterrence.
Difficulties were encountered during the first step.
The Sword Holder had to decapitate over thirty heads to silence all nuclear weapons on Blue Star.
...
Subsequently, Lu Heng, as the Sword Holder of human civilization, announced the establishment of the Human Civilization United Council.
The Human Civilization United Council is responsible for formulating strategic plans for the entire humanity in facing the Abyss and Otherworld civilizations.
After the announcement of the Human Civilization United Council’s establishment, Da Xia was the first to declare support and became one of its member nations.
Later, remaining families of the ASE Alliance gradually declared support for the Human Civilization United Council.
There were a few forces that expressed opposition, proposing a pluralistic faction system, hoping humanity could exist like the Sikes Civilization with multiple factions jointly governing.
The pluralistic faction system of the Sikes Civilization was indeed admirable, having zero resistance during the Abyss invasion, blew up a prosperous planet to stop the Mechanical Demons from spreading.
Humanity has only one planet, unlike the Sikes civilization with many trial-and-error opportunities.
Thus, Lu Heng decisively dispatched the Sword Holder team, slapped the forces proposing the pluralistic faction system, and they immediately complied, becoming pioneers supporting unity.
Facts proved that reasoning was indeed less effective than physical persuasion.
...
Three months’ time.
The Human Civilization United Council’s work is on track, announcing full authority to coordinate and oversee all nuclear weapons worldwide, which would be used against the Abyss in the future.
This news sparked a great commotion.
The public is incredulous, more so at the support from all nuclear-armed countries, including the White Eagle Federation, for the Human Civilization United Council’s decision.
At this moment, humanity is unprecedentedly "united".
In terms of nuclear weapon coordination and oversight, not a single voice of dissent was heard.
However, the commotion only stirred at the public level.
For the upper tiers of nuclear-armed countries, they had known about this three months prior.
Because when the first step of the Nuclear Weapon Silence Plan was completed, the Sword Holder had already essentially gained full control over all nuclear weapon oversight.
Now, it was just publicly revealing it; what was to happen had long since happened.
Of course, throughout the occurrence of these events, there have been many rebellions.
Numerous countries and individuals demanded freedom, deeming the Sword Holder and Human Civilization United Council’s actions crimes against humanity.
Lu Heng adhered to their wishes, sending these rebellious freedom advocates to the Abyssal Contamination zone, granting them the ultimate freedom.
...
Turbulent reforms erupted within human civilization.
Nobody knows which direction humanity will head post-reformation.
Even Lu Heng doesn’t know, for none of these events took place in his rebirth memories.
In the previous life, there were no Sword Holders, no Human Civilization United Council, nor any Nuclear Weapon Silence Plan.
Moreover, human civilization was not as "unified" as now.
In a certain sense, human civilization indeed achieved the great vision of a "community with a shared destiny".
Thanks to the sacrifices made by those dissenting voices.
In fact, Lu Heng had reflected upon whether the means used to unite all humans were too radical?
But upon thinking again, it was far gentler than the acts committed during a certain race’s landing on the White Eagle Continent.
Besides, there was too little time, humanity could not afford generations to gradually fulfill this objective.
Because the speed of Abyss invasion is accelerating, the time left for humanity is running out.
