Simulator: Starting as a Green Snake and Transforming into a Dragon

By the third day, public opinion was starting to spiral out of control. Everywhere, monsters were talking about it.

The essence of public opinion is to incite class antagonism. This time, the public opinion seems so simple, but in reality, Gu Yuchuan has instigated antagonism between three classes.

The first one is between humans and demons. Gu Yuchuan's own persona is that of a hero who fought for the demon race, while he portrays the other party as someone who persecuted heroes and investigated military secrets. Even if the other party is not a human cultivator, that is the meaning.

Secondly, there is the conflict between the outer and inner parts of Yunhai Marsh. This conflict has always existed. The demonic beasts that come out from the inner part look down on the demonic beasts outside because of the high concentration of spiritual energy and the strength of the cultivators on their side. Therefore, the demonic beasts outside also harbor hatred towards them. Gu Yuchuan represents the cultivators on the outer part, while the Demon King of the Other Shore Flower represents the demonic beasts inside.

The third issue is the conflict between high-level and low-level cultivators. Even though the Demon Lord is now regulating the rules of Yunhai Marsh and prohibiting the arbitrary killing of demon beasts, the oppression of low-level demon beasts by high-level ones still exists and is unavoidable. This applies not only to the demon race but also to the human race. Currently, this conflict is very deep. Gu Yuchuan represents all low-level cultivators, and the other side is the oppressor.

With all these factors combined, it was no surprise that public opinion spiraled out of control. Some demon beasts had already spontaneously gone to the demon generals and demon kings in charge, demanding a thorough investigation. As more and more demon beasts joined the fray, the matter could no longer be suppressed. Thus, the Black Shark Demon King went internally to seek justice.

Meanwhile, things were not peaceful inside either. Although there were indeed many demon kings inside, and even a demon emperor was in charge, they were still subject to the control of the demon lord and had to obey him. The only difference inside was that the spiritual energy was more abundant; in reality, there were no other supernatural phenomena. They also needed to know what was happening outside, and the rumors had reached them. The one in charge inside was called the Yinyun Demon King, a powerful figure at the eighth level of the Golden Core stage, and one of the top demon kings.

He was a cold and aloof man, dressed in a pure white gauze robe that clung to his body. His expression was terrible, and his tone was unpleasant: "Why hasn't the Demon King of the Other Shore arrived yet? Do I have to go and invite him myself?"

Clearly, the public opinion outside made this powerful demon king realize how difficult things were to handle. If a major conflict were to break out between the inside and outside of Yunhaize, he would have to bear the responsibility.

Finally, the Demon King of the Other Shore arrived, belatedly. She was dressed in red, with exquisite features, and looked like a dream. An ordinary person would be captivated by her beauty at first glance. That was her beauty. However, the misty Demon King before them was clearly no ordinary person.

“This is not the Demon King of the Other Shore. I sent someone to summon you and told you to come immediately. You have been dawdling for so long. Do you look down on me and my position as the manager?”

The Demon King of the Other Shore was only at the first level of the Golden Core stage. Although they were both Golden Core cultivators, their status and cultivation were even more different than those at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages. Since the other party was angry, she was naturally afraid and her attitude softened.

"Your Highness, it wasn't intentional. I was in seclusion for a while, which caused the delay when I came out. As you know, I have great respect for you."

Normally, a few flattering words from her would have been enough to smooth things over; after all, the Demon King wouldn't reprimand a demon king for such a trivial matter. But this was different; he was furious, so his attitude remained extremely poor.

"Are you in seclusion? I see you're quite active, even having time to meddle in peripheral matters. Is that something you can interfere with? Do you know why Yunhaize is divided into three regions? It's to prevent high-level cultivators from interfering in the growth of low-level cultivators. What are you thinking, showing such disrespect for the Demon Lord's decree? Do you really want to go to the human race?"

This statement is truly hurtful, because the Demon King of the Other Shore is not innocent. In her youth, she traveled extensively and had a brief relationship with Situ Xuanming of the Yellow Springs Sect—the father of Situ Wangchuan. However, she ultimately abandoned this relationship and returned to the demon race, without doing anything to wrong them. Therefore, the matter was left unresolved. In fact, many demons and humans have had relationships; as long as they don't do anything wrong in the future, nothing will happen.

However, the Demon King of the Other Shore broke a taboo by making a move.

The Demon King of the Other Shore looked somewhat flustered. He couldn't admit to these things, but before he could speak, the Demon King of Misty Clouds spoke again: "The news of your plot against the Azure Scale Demon General has spread far and wide, and it has even been found out that you did this to stand up for the Yellow Springs Sect. Think about how to quell this matter. I advise you to find out what the situation is now."

The Demon King of the Other Shore was now somewhat flustered. She immediately sent out a burst of magic to contact her subordinates. Soon, a jade slip flew over, and upon seeing it, her body went limp.

"Your Highness, this, this is absolutely not what I meant. This is a complete slander."

The Demon King stared intently at her expression, but couldn't discern anything: "I don't care about that. I've already informed you of the situation. You need to resolve it as soon as possible. If public opinion continues to escalate and things can't be contained in the end, your fate won't be good, since you yourself have dirty hands."

When the Demon King of the Other Shore went out, he was completely stunned. He was all too familiar with this move; it was the very move he had planned to use against his opponent. Who knew it would be used on him? He couldn't understand why this had happened, but he had to stop this from spreading further.

However, that's how public opinion works. Once it spreads to a certain extent, it becomes very difficult to resolve. Suppression will only backfire, and explanations will lose the initiative. People will have preconceived notions, and it's hard for you to explain. Only the person who created the public opinion can explain it. Therefore, if we want to resolve this public opinion issue now, we can only go to Qinglin Demon General and ask him to step in.

However, she couldn't bring herself to bow down to a demon general. But she knew one thing: she couldn't let things drag on any longer, or the public opinion would only escalate.

Gu Yuchuan, on the other hand, has been refining several spiritual weapons at home these days, and his cultivation has also increased considerably. He is very content and happy every day. He knows that the one suffering now is definitely not him. The Demon King of the Other Shore is the one who is suffering the most. He wants to see how the other party will break the deadlock.
