Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1520 - 1518: The Impact of New Energy

"Junior Brother, what do you need me to do?" Upon hearing Lin Feng speak like this, Chu Meng immediately furrowed her brow. She undoubtedly understood the implications of his words. Her junior brother had left her alone, likely intending for her to handle matters related to this.

"Is there absolutely no issue with that energy system we’ve researched?" Lin Feng didn’t answer Chu Meng’s question but instead asked about this particular matter.

"There are no issues. Junior Brother, what do you mean?" Chu Meng responded immediately, though she still couldn’t follow Lin Feng’s train of thought.

"I mean to fully advance that energy system and completely change Earth’s energy structure. This way, pollution can be reduced, and the speed of spiritual energy recovery can be increased. Spiritual energy is essentially natural energy. Then, we must proceed with environmental restoration through vegetation and mountain reformations, stabilizing the ecosystem and preventing further deterioration. This is merely what can be accomplished at present."

Lin Feng looked at Chu Meng and explained seriously. These steps are all that can be done for now. As long as the situation doesn’t worsen temporarily, there’s a balance in all matters. Once broken, there will be irreversible consequences. Lin Feng doesn’t want the spiritual energy of the secular world to completely deplete. If it really comes to that, cultivators will cease to exist.

After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Chu Meng finally understood what he intended to do. Lin Feng wants to prevent spiritual energy on Earth from depleting temporarily. Although she doesn’t comprehend how Lin Feng knows these things, she knows she must act according to his instructions.

"By the way, Junior Brother, managing the natural environment is easy; we at the Cloud Fund can handle that. But globally advancing new energy will likely involve many people’s interests, posing significant pressure in this area." Suddenly, Chu Meng recalled that advancing the new energy system directly conflicts with many major interest groups, causing them no doubt to interfere.

"Don’t worry about that. We’ll forcefully implement it. We don’t have much time." Lin Feng spoke lightly. He had already predicted that something significant would occur, though he wasn’t sure what it would be. Earth’s spiritual energy is depleting rapidly, and there’s truly no time for further deliberation. For the sake of Earth, this matter must be pushed forward as quickly as possible.

"Okay, Junior Brother, I’ll take care of it. You can rest assured." After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Chu Meng realized the seriousness of the situation. She must act according to his directives, and the Cloud Fund now already ranks as the world’s largest financial institution, having enough power to handle these affairs.

"If anyone has objections, let them come to me." Lin Feng saw the arrangements were in place and, after leaving a brief statement, turned and returned to Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei’s room.

"Alas, it seems the world will soon be in chaos..." Chu Meng watched Lin Feng’s retreating figure with a sigh. She clearly understood what consequences executing these plans would bring. But since Lin Feng mentioned lack of time, she must fulfill them no matter what.

Shaking her head, she also departed...

......

In the following days, Lin Feng had no particular matters to attend to, spending time accompanying the girls around. As for arrangements within the Spirit Realm, Liao Chen and others were more than sufficient. Schools for managing these cultivators were also established within the Spirit Realm, named the Lingxiu Academy.

In short, everything proceeded smoothly as anticipated, with constant construction within the Spirit Realm and the gradual completion of Lingxiu Academy. The items Huang Shi brought back were also arranged within the Spirit Realm, making it look vibrant.

Although Lin Feng had nothing particular going on these days, the world outside was already stirred by Cloud Fund, which had aggressively advanced the implementation of the new energy system globally.

The sudden appearance of the new energy system completely rendered traditional energy sources obsolete—a mere book-sized energy battery could power an electric car for decades without any pollution, and a two-cubic-meter energy battery could supply a medium-sized factory’s electricity for a year at only a tenth of the traditional energy cost.

Faced with this enticing new energy, no one could resist it, quickly pushing Cloud Fund into the spotlight, becoming globally the focus of attention. Countless orders flooded Cloud Fund, and numerous manufacturers scrambled to partner with Cloud Fund.

To put it simply, the whole world went mad for this revolutionary energy system, delighted that Cloud Fund introduced such a fantastic energy system, set to solve Earth’s energy crisis completely.

However, amidst the joys, troubles arose. Although the introduction of this energy system delighted the world, it damaged the interests of some, notably the oil companies spearheaded by the Middle East, as well as the global petroleum industry. The impact led almost all oil wells to temporarily halt production, oil enterprises temporarily shutting down, and countless workers starting to protest in marches, leading to global discussions targeting Cloud Fund’s energy system implementation...

Amidst external argumentation and clamor, a meeting unfolded within a towering building in the United States.

"Damn it, how could Chu Meng break the rules and suddenly announce it? What are we supposed to do?" A white man in a white suit, with blue eyes, named Howard, yelled angrily. He was truly infuriated, as his petroleum enterprise practically covered the entire U.S. The sudden appearance of this energy system caught him off guard, with his daily losses amounting to billions.

"Exactly, we’ve all developed new energy systems but held back from launching them. Why would Chu Meng act now against the game rules?" Another man, a burly figure clad in a black suit, was similarly fuming. He was a globally renowned oil refining tycoon. With the launch of this new energy system, what was he supposed to do with his refineries?

"I think we must forcibly halt the advancement of the new energy system."

"Yes, this has severely harmed our interests; Chu Meng must compensate us!"

...

The other attendees echoed their frustration loudly; the past few days were torturous for them. Their stocks plummeted, with their enterprises effectively halting, countless workers awaiting wages, and numerous contracts falling through, leaving them in a dire situation.

Bear in mind that they had long since almost fully developed the new energy system. However, they’d formed an alliance to suppress its appearance, as its introduction would damage their existing interests. For profiteering’s sake, they couldn’t allow the new energy system to emerge freely, but Chu Meng disregarded all this and launched the new energy system abruptly, catching them off guard and unable to respond.

"It’s no use just speaking here; we must negotiate with the people behind Chu Meng, hoping for potential resolution in this matter." Prince Zack, adorned in a traditional white outfit with a golden circlet on his head, stated calmly. Although his exterior was composed, inwardly he was aflame with anger, but he understood that venting ire was futile. The primary concern was finding a solution.

Indeed, following Prince Zack’s statement, everyone fell silent and shifted their focus toward him, intending to discern Zack’s stance. They all wanted to negotiate with Chu Meng’s backers, but the issue was they only knew Chu Meng without knowing those behind her. Even if they wanted to negotiate, they couldn’t find anyone!

Seeing everyone’s confusion about the next steps, an elder approximately sixty years old, wearing a black suit, stood up.

"I know who is behind Chu Meng. As a competitor, I’ve thoroughly studied her. The person behind her is named Lin Feng. None of you would anticipate this—Lin Feng seems no more than a young man not even twenty, but crucially, his power is immense. Whether it’s his network or personal abilities, they far exceed normal expectations."

Peter Ward addressed the crowd very seriously. Honestly, he also wondered what Lin Feng meant by abruptly launching the new energy system, even impacting the Cloud Fund itself, which defied everyone’s interests. However, given the group’s lack of direction, he had no choice but to reveal information about Lin Feng.

"How is that possible?"

"Is a young man under twenty controlling Cloud Fund?"

"Old Peter, are you sure there’s no mistake in your investigation?"

...

The audience immediately turned their gaze to Peter after his statement; they found it hard to believe his words. Despite Peter being the CEO of the United States Energy System’s colossal Peter Group with extraordinary methods, none could fathom that Cloud Fund, observed by all as a financial miracle, was controlled by a young Lin Feng. It seemed impossible for such a young person.

But Peter, hearing their doubts, merely smiled and shook his head. He, like them, had been incredulous initially, yet the more he investigated Lin Feng, the more astonished he became, unable to discover anything beyond surface details. However, even a glimpse was enough to shock the world.

"Believe it or not, it’s true. Lin Feng is extraordinary. Have you ever met a genius fluent in dozens of languages? Have you encountered a genius who becomes an authority in any field? Moreover, Lin Feng is a master from Huaxia, not just a master as you might think. I can tell you distinctly that Lin Feng alone unquestionably possesses the power to obliterate the Earth. Though I hardly believe it, the investigation results are thus. Simply put, you can imagine him as a reality-version of someone more formidable than Superman."

Peter spoke earnestly, having witnessed the investigation’s outcomes, initially questioning them but then seeing subsequent bizarre results. Even through special channels, some officials in Huaxia verified Lin Feng. All evidence confirmed Lin Feng’s unparalleled nature, leaving no room for doubt; believing or disbelieving, you had to accept it.

Upon hearing Peter’s words, the crowd fell silent. Given their positions, they had encountered various unimaginable powerhouses, gaining some understanding of such phenomena. However, never had they imagined that Huaxia concealed such a colossal force.
