Not many people have this kind of treatment. One of the occasions was on the day Xiao Guli and Nannan got married, when the whole world experienced four seasons at the same time on the same day.
Even people living near the equator felt the beauty of the snow-covered landscape. This was a blessing from Lin Yao as a father, allowing the newlyweds to start a new life and cherish and experience all the seasons together.
After that massive wave of immigration, China's national strength and technological power rose rapidly. Farmers across the country were liberated. They no longer needed to sow seeds, only harvest. The preliminary work was all done by the grass. Although she still had to study the secrets of the great formation, her countless clones had developed a certain degree of independent will. They were just too bored!
Chinese society has become more orderly thanks to the decades-long efforts of Minhong Pharmaceutical. Of course, Xiaocao deserves credit for this, because her clone knows everyone's background. If people with bad character do not repent, they will be abandoned by society, and in serious cases, they will be directly eliminated by Xiaocao.
Although this kind of eradication is very subtle, often occurring through car accidents, falling to one's death while walking, choking to death while drinking water, choking to death while eating, or being an innocent bystander who is caught in the crossfire and killed, the bad social atmosphere is thus eliminated.
The next generation, growing up in this environment, has developed a firm belief and a fighting spirit. The elders, influenced by their example, follow the rules and regulations, preventing these children from developing a darker mindset. Their children also receive excellent teachings and guidance, leading Chinese society into a virtuous cycle where people live and work in peace and contentment.
The gap between the rich and the poor still exists and is quite obvious, but this is only related to the degree of hard work and effort of individuals. The collusion between officials and businessmen has disappeared, and corrupt officials have vanished.
Nowadays, civil servants view their work as a profession and adhere to professional ethics.
Although there will still be instances of human depravity induced by power and money, a sound legal system, strong government crackdowns, and an uncompromising attitude ensure that such situations are isolated incidents and are subject to public scrutiny.
If a thief breaks into your house, you'll be too ashamed to show your face to anyone.
If all relatives and friends in a family are ostracized except for the corrupt official, and are investigated or even removed from social welfare agencies, they will not be able to enjoy future benefits or support in their old age.
If a family fails to support its elderly parents, angry people might even kick the unfilial child to death. Even if they don't, they will find it difficult to move an inch in society.
Conversely, if there are people who have children but do not want them, both men and women are sterilized and sent to Siberia to reclaim wasteland. The environment and grass of that land have not improved, and it has become a concentration camp in modern society. However, this concentration camp is not closed, and people can come and go freely. But such people are branded with a mark of shame and cannot find work or make friends anywhere else.
Today's social credit system is frighteningly advanced. Not only would no teacher dare to molest a student, but even excessively harsh corporal punishment would be recorded in the personal credit system. Once a teacher leaves the education system and wants to change industries, these personal records will be used by employers to comprehensively evaluate whether they are suitable for the company.
In 2218, Lin Yao's parents, Luo Jimin and Lin Hongmei, both passed away peacefully without illness. Lin Yao cried his heart out; it was the first time he had shed tears in over two hundred years.
Despite possessing extraordinary medical skills and countless miraculous elixirs, birth, aging, sickness, and death are the laws of nature, and metabolism is the law of the universe. Apart from Lin Yao himself, no one can break through this law.
Even he himself may have a limited lifespan, but no one has told him and it's not time yet, so he doesn't know when he will die.
In 2021, his wife Xia Yuwen passed away peacefully. Before she died, she said one sentence to Lin Yao.
"I know I can't accompany you through your whole life, but I can spend as much time with you as possible, using all my time to make you happy. That will be enough for me."
"I have finally kept my promise to myself, Ah Yao, thank you for being with me for two hundred years."
Xia Yuwen gave birth to five children for Lin Yao, three boys and two girls. These five children have now multiplied and grown to more than a thousand, shocking Xiaocao with the human ability to reproduce. She always says that Lin Yao is a stud pig.
In the final year, Lin Yao restored the world's original climate to the grass, allowing all of humanity to adapt to the environment in which their ancestors lived.
Some follow-up matters were also taken care of, and the last to say goodbye were Yi Zuojun and Yi Fei and Yi Yang, who were also entering their twilight years.
Perhaps because they had practiced ancient martial arts since childhood, the lifespan of the Yi family members was longer than that of Lin Yao's parents, but it was still limited. Lin Yao did not want to see his friends leave again, so he chose to leave at this time.
The seabed of the Bermuda Triangle, the seabed beneath the dome.
"Yaoyao," Xiaocao hesitated, "are you ready?"
"Um!"
"Once we leave, we might not be able to come back! It's very likely we won't be able to come back! You need to think this through!"
"Let's go..."
Lin Yao sighed, "The worldly ties here are severed, and Lili has become a national leader. I believe that he and his compatriots can build our motherland into a stronger and better place."
"It's time for us to go see the outside world..."
The little grass was silent for a moment before speaking:
"Okay, I'll begin!"
A milky white light shone, and the entire formation began to operate rapidly.
Suddenly, the sky over the whole world shone brightly, and extremely dazzling light poured down from the sky, but it was not blinding.
As the light faded, the great formation beneath the dome returned to calm.
The very center spot where Lin Yao had been standing was now completely empty...
