My Fierce Tigress Wife

Chapter 120: Forming the World Allied Forces

All the major countries of the world detected the commotion right away when the series of massive explosions broke out.

Especially China, which had been keeping a watch on that alternate world all this time because it was simply too close to its borders. They had immediately detected it the moment both parties went to war with each other.

A war on such a scale was undoubtedly a huge affair in the whole world in this day and age.

A meeting was held at once. A global meeting involving all the countries of the world was also scheduled.

The video conference began.

“Mr. Bay, why has Russia suddenly started such a huge war?” India’s leader unceremoniously went straight to the point and asked right away.

The leaders of the other three countries also had the same look in their eyes. A huge war like that was undoubtedly a world invasion.

Of course, they would take the matter seriously. They didn’t dare to show any carelessness at all.

Rather, none of them would dare to show any carelessness in any battle with the alternate worlds. The few of them would all personally handle the matter as well.

The Russian leader heaved a wry sigh. Seemingly somewhat exhausted, he replied, “Obviously, that alternate world intends to invade Earth.”

Shrewd glints seemingly flickered in the eyes of all four major countries’ leaders, including Dong Pingtao’s.

Their gazes were sharp and penetrating.

“How’s their combat power? It’s time that you share everything with us,” said Dong Pingtao steadily.

The other three kept quiet. They also had the same thought in mind. Once it reached the point of invasion and waging war, every country would have to share all the information they had about the alternate worlds with the rest. The whole of Earth would also be on a war footing against the alternate worlds.

Regarding other matters, it was pointless to say anything else at such a point. Making preparations for war was the most important.

As for whether there was anything fishy going on or not, they could investigate after the case was closed. At the moment, everything centered on battle preparations.

In any case, no matter what, even if it were Russia’s fault; they would still have to clean up Russia’s sh*t before discussing anything else.

It might seem very ridiculous, but this was exactly their tacit understanding and sense of resignation. No matter what, they absolutely mustn’t allow people from the alternate worlds to step onto Earth.

Bay, the Russian leader, nodded solemnly and said, “Alright. This particular alternate world possesses very strong combat power. Through our investigations, we’ve found out that the spiritual energy density level there is as high as the eleventh stage of the Third Realm—in other words, they’re only a step short of entering the Fourth Realm.

“There are a great number of strong cultivators there, as well as a fair number of various species. There are no humans there. We’ve temporarily classified the alternate world as Grade 3A. We’ll send the detailed data to every country later.”

The major countries of the world had already created a measurement scale a long time ago based on how strong the alternate worlds were.

From the First Realm to the Third Realm, the categories were respectively Grade C, Grade B, and Grade A.

The difference in strength between each grade was naturally very great, and they were further segregated into four sub-categories—1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A.

Alternate worlds above the Third Realm were classified as Grade S. At present, not many had been discovered yet. The Holy Tribunal of the Third Eye was the most powerful thus far.

As the spiritual energy density level in the alternate world in Russia had reached the eleventh stage of the Third Realm, its temporary classification of Grade 3A was very reasonable.

Bay went on after a moment’s pause. He said, “It is likely that the other party has been preparing to invade Earth ever since we discovered each other’s presence. When they caught our men during this occasion, they used the excuse that we didn’t stick to our end of the agreement and had killed their companions to invade us.

“At present, we’ve already fended off their first wave of attacks. It’s hard to say how it would go after that, but as long as the spiritual energy density level doesn’t reach the Third Realm, Russia will be able to fully stop them.

“Going by current estimations, there are still four years to go before the spiritual energy density level in the whole world—with the exception of China—reaches the Third Realm.”

Even if the alternate world wouldn’t be able to pose much of a threat to Earth during the next four years, no one among Dong Pingtao and the other few—who were listening attentively to what he said—could bring themselves to relax.

With regard to the matter of dispatching men into the alternate world for scouting purposes that Bay had mentioned, this was something that every country would do. It wasn’t necessary to say much about that.

“This is the 19th alternate world that has Third Realm cultivators and is at least Grade A and above that wants to invade Earth.

“There are also seven other alternate worlds that are at least Grade A and above, have yet to discover the world passages, and whose stances are unclear so far.

“You can imagine what kind of catastrophe Earth will meet with when the whole of Earth’s spiritual energy density level reaches the Third Realm four years later. I think we need to bring the plan that we had previously talked about back into discussion again,” said England’s leader somberly.

“I agree very much with that.” Iran’s leader immediately said with a nod.

As though they were musing over it, Dong Pingtao, Bay, and India’s leader were the only ones that remained silent.

A brief moment later, Bay also nodded and said, “I also agree.”

After that, Dong Pingtao and India’s leader both nodded one after the other and expressed their agreement.

England’s leader revealed a small smile and said, “Let’s discuss that in the global meeting that’s about to start, then.”

No one raised any objections. Then, with everyone harboring different thoughts in mind, they ended the meeting.

…

In just a few days, a piece of news and all sorts of speculations suddenly spread throughout the whole world.

“Have you heard? It seems like they’re going to set up world allied forces! They’re going to discuss that in the global meeting that’ll be held in a few days.”

“What the heck! The world allied forces?! Why do I feel like it sounds so surreal? Is this a novel?”

“The events written in novels have already taken place. Is Earth experiencing such great changes?”

“I heard that it’s because the pressure from the alternate worlds is becoming greater and greater. Haven’t you seen all the military recruitment announcements everywhere?”

“I hope they set up the world allied forces. This crisis involves the entire Earth. Only when all of humanity bands together will we be able to ride through it. Don’t forget our Hu County tragedy in China three years ago.”

“What a joke. World allied forces? Can the major countries even trust one another? In any case, I don’t believe this.”

“I agree with the poster above. Putting aside the major countries for now, if they really set up the world allied forces, what are the small countries going to do? Would they have any position among the allied forces? They’re just gonna be exploited.”

“I agree. You know it’s unreliable just by the sound of it.”

“Hmph. Allied forces? Why should our soldiers sacrifice themselves to protect other countries? Besides, there are still some old grudges that we can’t possibly forget.”

“I agree. If I become a soldier and become part of the allied forces, I definitely wouldn’t be able to resist looking for a chance to con people from other countries to their deaths. We absolutely mustn’t trust foreigners.”

…

Putting aside the situation in foreign countries, the news about the formation of world allied forces swiftly hogged almost the entire Chinese online space.

This matter, which seemed very distant yet also very close to home to the Chinese citizens, simply piqued their curiosity and interest so badly.

Setting up world allied forces—just the thought alone was enough to make one find the whole thing terribly surreal. Wasn’t this something that existed in novels and stories?

Although a lot of surreal and miraculous things had already taken place in this world, to date, only approximately six years had gone by since then. Despite the Hu County incident back then, it ultimately couldn’t entirely change a lot of people’s way of thinking.

In any case, the vast majority of people immediately found the idea unreliable and impossible to realize the moment they heard about it.

Wang Hu, who was seated in his bedroom at home, naturally also got to know about the matter.

His brows were tightly locked together. Wang Hu’s first reaction toward the news was the realization that the pressure on the humans had increased even further.

Otherwise, there was no way news and speculations about something such as the setup of world allied forces would surface.

Although it hadn’t been confirmed yet, he understood humans very well and knew how serious the conflicts and internal strife among the countries were just the same.

If they weren’t facing absolute crushing pressure, these news and speculations wouldn’t exist at all. Moreover, they had even spread all the way to the Chinese online space, yet the authorities were still allowing them to spread.

To a certain degree, this explained a lot.

They might not necessarily succeed in setting up the world allied forces at this point. However, they might not necessarily fail either.

In fact, in Wang Hu’s opinion, the chances of success were larger than failure.

Beside him, Di Baijun had also gained some insight into the matter. She raised a graceful eyebrow and said a little gravely, “Looks like the pressure on the humans has increased even further.”

Wang Hu nodded. Then, he became lost in his thoughts again.

“Hmph.” Suddenly, Di Baijun let out a somewhat dissatisfied light snort, attracting Wang Hu’s attention. He looked over to hear his wife remarking haughtily and disdainfully, “How dare they call themselves the world allied forces when we, the tigers, aren’t even part of it?”

Wang Hu’s mind brightened as he thought of something. However, his frown deepened.

“What’s wrong?” Di Baijun, who had discovered his reaction, was rather puzzled.

“It just so happened that you’ve reminded me about something, Baijun. I’m afraid we’re going to get caught up in trouble soon.” Wang Hu shook his head and said somewhat resignedly.

Di Baijun also frowned. “What kind of trouble?”

“I can’t be entirely sure right now either, but given China’s stance, they likely will do it,” replied Wang Hu with another shake of his head.

Di Baijun was rather displeased. What exactly was the jerk trying to say? Couldn’t he say it all at one go? How annoying.

She raised an eyebrow. “Are you going to say it or not?”

Upon her question, Wang Hu finally belatedly reacted and realized that the direct and straightforward Silly Girl evidently couldn’t stand it that he was only saying half of what he was thinking.

He didn’t keep it from her. He said fairly certainly, “Think about it, Baijun. What you said is true. How can we, the tigers, possibly not be part of the world allied forces?”

Di Baijun stared blankly at him for a moment. She had only said that in a moment of pique just now and hadn’t thought that deeply about it yet. Thanks to Wang Hu’s reminder, however, she understood now.

Indeed, the tigers boasted the sole two Divine Body Realm experts on Earth—the jerk in her family, as well as herself.

If the humans really intended to set up the world allied forces—while they could temporarily ignore the other animal species, would they ignore the two of them, too?

This was the world allied forces, not the international human allied forces.

Even if the truth was that, apart from the two of them, the tigers actually wouldn’t be of much help at this point and that they would just be watching the humans having fun by themselves even if they joined; as long as there were people or major countries among the humans that wanted to build good relations with the various animal species—especially with them; these humans would definitely extend an invitation to the two of them.

One didn’t even need to think about it. China was the first one to be like that.

“Are you saying that China will invite us to take part in the meeting that’ll be held to discuss the formation of the world allied forces?” asked Di Baijun thoughtfully.

“Yes,” Wang Hu nodded and said with certainty, “As long as this matter is real and is highly likely to happen.

“If nothing goes wrong, countries like China and the others will invite us over. After all, they would never let off two great helpers like us.”

There were no Third Realm cultivators among the other species at this point. Thus, the humans wouldn’t care much about them. Inviting Second Realm cultivators over wasn’t practical either. After all, it was likely that a Second Realm cultivator wouldn’t be able to represent their entire species either.

Only the two of them were ridiculously powerful. Coupled with the fact that their numbers were small, they didn’t need to worry about anything going wrong if they were to represent the tigers as a species on the whole.

Thus, owing to these various reasons, they would definitely invite the two of them to take part in the meeting that would be held to discuss the formation of the human allied forces—or to be more accurate, to go over and bear witness to it.

After all, his combat power and his status were right there for all to see. Perhaps to many humans, he might even be able to represent all the species apart from the humans—in other words, the animals—by now.

While it wasn’t much at the moment, it might just hold significant meaning in the future.

Di Baijun didn’t like what he said at the end. What did he mean by ‘helpers’? That sounded so awful.

However, she let it go. She thought about it and asked somewhat hesitantly, “Are we going, then?”

Wang Hu raised an eyebrow. Without any hesitation, he was just about to reply to her when the phone suddenly rang at this point—it was from Li Aimin.

He showed the caller ID to Silly Girl and curled his lip disdainfully to express his sentiments of “See? I told you, didn’t I? Speak of the devil.” Then, he picked up the call.

“Your Excellency. I hope I’m not bothering you by calling so suddenly.” Li Aimin’s amicable voice rang out.

With a calm and aloof voice that carried a faint sense of domineeringness and imposing might, Wang Hu asked, “Is something the matter, Cabinet Elder Li?”

Beside him, Di Baijun’s eyes flickered a little as she looked at her jerk somewhat unusually.

His current demeanor was so similar to the domineering attitude that he had adopted toward her when she was in weak health back then.

Not bad.

Li Aimin had long since become accustomed to such an attitude. He went straight to the point and said seriously, “Your Excellency, the human countries are intending to discuss the matter of setting up the world allied forces to deal with the increasingly grim situation in the world conference taking place in a few days.

“To tell the truth, Your Excellency, this suggestion has been brought up a long time ago. However, it hasn’t been approved or confirmed all this time.

“That won’t be the case this time, though. It’s highly likely that it’ll be officially confirmed. Thus, we’d like to invite Your Excellency to attend the world conference this time.

“After all, the world allied forces involve the whole world in name. Putting aside everything else, we also hope that Your Excellency can bear witness to this for us.

As though he was musing, Wang Hu was silent for a couple of seconds.

Then, he said calmly and dispassionately, “Those are your—the humans’—affairs. I’m not interested.”

His resolute and decisive tone made it so that Li Aimin couldn’t even quite bring himself to say the words of persuasion that he’d had in mind. He had a terribly regretful expression on his face.

After a moment’s thought, he nevertheless decided to speak. He said sincerely, “Your Excellency, to say it like it is, this is indeed the humans’ affairs. However, Earth doesn’t just belong to humans at this point.

“There is an unmistakable trend that humans and the various animal species will have to band together in the future. We are really very sincere in inviting you.

“We’re also thinking of extending an invitation to the other animal species. Unfortunately, existences like the Tiger King completely don’t exist among the other animal species at all. We can’t invite them even if we want to.

“Thus, I’d still like to implore Your Excellency to give it careful consideration and attend the world conference.”

“The future’s the future, and the present’s the present. I don’t wish to interfere in human affairs.

“We can talk about this again when a real world conference is held in the future,” said Wang Hu without a second thought. His voice carried an imposing might and was as calm and dispassionate as ever.

Upon his reply, Li Aimin somewhat understood what the other party meant now. He heaved a sigh and said fairly disappointedly, “Alright, I understand. I’m sorry to have disturbed you, Your Excellency. If you ever change your mind, please feel free to let me know anytime.”
