Full-time Creation Master

........

One month later...

News of the Black Vatican stirring up trouble again, the White Lotus Cult rising again, the attack on the second-in-command of S.H.I.E.L.D., the fall of a hundred super-class mages, the blood sacrifice of Bo City, the White Lotus Emperor's intervention, and the Buddha's single glance... spread like wildfire throughout the mage and news communities.

The turmoil caused by the monarch-level demons, who were originally known as the shadows of death, is no longer even worth mentioning!

For example, at the same time as Bo City, in the northern part of the Dragon Kingdom, several armored beast tribes led by monarchs launched an attack on the Northern Military Region.

On the shores of the South China Sea, tens of thousands of sea demons and the sacrificial spirit totems of South China Sea City engaged in a battle that engulfed dozens of cities and demon tribes...

The emergence of Emperor-level beings brings death to Monarch-level beings!

It awakened the long-dormant fear of demons in the magic community.

The state-run television stations in various countries remained silent until they received instructions from the city government.

Without the guidance of a "general direction," the last three issues of newspapers and periodicals have been printed ten times more than usual, yet still not enough to meet demand!

The front page headline of the "Mage Express" exploded!

The headline read: "A Shocking Change! The White Lotus Stirs Up Trouble! The Emperor Returns!"

A hundred high-level mages have fallen in battle; is the magical world doomed?

Each word is more captivating than the last.

The press also quickly captured a variety of shocking firsthand news.

Major media outlets rushed to grab the headlines, and public opinion surged like a tidal wave.

The tabloid "Strange Tales from the Streets" went even further.

The title read: "Terrifying! Bo City turned into hell overnight, an emperor descended, this power is simply beyond the resistance of mages!"

Tabloid reporters, they're incredibly audacious.

They even went to the ruins of Bo City to film and conduct interviews, providing solid firsthand information.

The Journal of the Magical Association also joined in the fun, with the Asian Magical Association Research Division immediately sending people to collect the leftovers left over after S.H.I.E.L.D. cleaned up the battlefield.

Hundreds of original imported chips from the mechanical plane were unearthed.

On the other hand, we should delve into the realities of life as perceived by Buddhist and Taoist perspectives.

The title is: "The Eyes of Buddha and Lao Tzu Appear in the World, Is Mechanical Ascension Possible?!"

"Major progress in consciousness uploading, human immortality?"

The gimmicks are getting more and more amazing!

The publication of this academic journal caused a stir in the Buddhist community.

Compared to a possible but not yet arrived threat, and a lifespan of less than 200 years that can already be seen to end, this is far more attractive to the powerful and influential who can "represent" public opinion!

The content of the "Newspaper" was a case of false advertising; it was all about promoting the newspaper's ideology, with very little scientific information.

.......

The Southern Metropolis Daily is perhaps the only relatively fair newspaper that explains the fact that this emperor is not that emperor.

From a practical perspective, it tells the public the truth: a demon of emperor level >>> forbidden spell mage >>> monarch-level demon >>> super-level mage...!

There's a ridiculously blunt statement: "The longest a human forbidden spellcaster in history has lived is 193 years, while the lifespan of an emperor-level demon is at least tens of thousands of years!"

Not to mention, it also presents many vivid comparisons, for example,

"Even if only a minor emperor-level demon causes trouble, half of the Heavenly Kingdom will enter a state of emergency. Apart from the five great nations and the ten major magical organizations, no country or organization in the world can stop the advance of an emperor-level demon!"

They even gave a well-known and true example----

"Egypt, known as the Undead Empire, is facing Khufu, who is merely an emperor-level being and only a regular harvester!"

The Serpent Empire, spanning the three continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe, was ruled by nothing more than a sub-emperor named Medusa, who was only a fraction of an emperor!

"........."

The person who wrote this issue of the Southern Metropolis Daily is clearly an insider in the Buddhist community!

As a result, the Southern Metropolis Daily, a newspaper that usually focuses on everyday family matters, trivialities, and sacrifices and contributions, has firmly occupied the top spot on the recent newspaper sales charts!

Even ordinary people would buy a copy to pass down as a family heirloom!

...........

Not to mention the middle class, who were originally singing and dancing, had no energy to pay for news that was far away.

At most, housing prices in safe first-tier cities will rise again, job openings will increase again, and working hours will be 1.6 hours a day, with workers "voluntarily" agreeing to it, while basic wages will decrease by another 20%...

For novice and intermediate mages, hearing about Emperor-level demons for the first time was just a symbolic designation of something stronger than Monarch-level demons, and they weren't too worried.

After all, even a single commander-level demon could kill them without a burial place!

Even those who weren't from the lowest rungs of society were scolded and then forced into the 897 work schedule by the foreman!

The wealthy upper-class merchants and the sorcerers from aristocratic families who were qualified to think were the ones who reacted most strongly.

For wealthy businessmen, companies, and foundations, how many years has it been since an emperor-level demon has appeared?

70 years!

The imperial class has always symbolized turmoil, death, war, and bloodshed!

The current economic harvest cycle only takes 3 years for a small cycle, and the model completely changes every 20 years.

If we don't take action, the times will abandon us!

Reducing unnecessary investments, consolidating funds, stockpiling supplies... and recruiting a group of mages have become recent strategic decisions.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the top levels of the various families, who form the decision-making body, was extremely solemn!

As those at the top of the pyramid, the beneficiaries, are the most acutely aware of risks!

Especially the major families in the Dragon Kingdom.

Leaving aside those families where high-ranking elders, senior members, and super-level mages have died openly or secretly,

Or perhaps those families that would fight tooth and nail over the allocation of a Star River Vein actually managed to squeeze out a Star Sea Vein that could assist high-level mages in breaking through to the super-level with the unanimous consent of the elders.

Almost all clans (with at least one super-ranked mage) and aristocratic families!

We basically have three meetings a day now, with all sorts of big and small initiatives and changes happening non-stop!

Even the spoiled brats who used to indulge in eating, drinking, and having fun consciously stayed at home obediently in this atmosphere.

She became a sheltered young lady who rarely left her home.

And among the top-tier forces...

The parliament building of the Dragon Kingdom is only opened a few times a year.

After the incident escalated, the massive and bloated parliamentary system finally sorted out the various relationships and convened an unconventional meeting!

The towering, palace-like dome is inlaid with countless dazzling magical gems.

They intertwine and reflect each other, radiating a dreamlike light that illuminates the entire hall as bright as day.

The gems also occasionally flashed with strange runes, indicating that they were not just simple lamps!

The surrounding striped stone walls are made of ancient, magic-resistant stone, so the safety feels guaranteed.

On the crisscrossing rock walls, the legendary deeds of heroes from the Dragon Kingdom throughout history are carved.

Each carving is so lifelike that it seems as if these heroes might leap out of the stone walls at any moment.

The floor is paved with smooth, mirror-like black marble, and when people walk on it, their footsteps make a crisp, echoing sound.

The ticking sound, even more captivating than high heels, makes every ordinary representative who steps into this place say that the expensive materials and decoration costs were well worth it!

The atmosphere inside the parliament hall of the Dragon Kingdom was so heavy it could be squeezed out of you.

Speaker of the current Parliament, Shao Zheng,

He slammed his hand on the table, and the teacups on it jumped up.

"The White Lotus Sect bandits have resurfaced."

And they even dared to perform a blood sacrifice, they dared to be so rampant!

The purpose of this meeting with all members of parliament is to discuss and come up with a solution!

Otherwise, it would be difficult to control public opinion!
