European leaders quietly arrived in London, and the European summit, which had been suspended for a long time, resumed.
At the head of the table, White Lantern looked at the leaders of the Britannic Empire, the Republic of France, the Kingdom of Britannia, and the Kingdom of Columbia beside him, and then scanned the group of well-dressed heads of state around them. He smiled and said, "Are you all here?"
Everyone looked around, and an advisor counted them one by one and replied, "30 heads of state, all present."
"Since everyone is here, let's begin our meeting today!" As the most powerful nation in the Western world, White Lantern took the lead in presiding.
"As you all know, in the past few days, that guy sent us incredibly valuable information, and he shared it openly and impartially, which I find very moving and gratifying. Without a doubt, he is the benefactor of all Blue Star! But..."
"He did not die under the joint pursuit of the three races as the half-demons predicted, which is not a good thing for us!"
Thinking of the era when that guy single-handedly suppressed all nations of Blue Star, forcing them to go to the Alliance of Great Powers, the presidents present couldn't help but lower their heads, their eyes flickering. The fear buried in their hearts was slowly unleashed.
The President of the Rooster Country observed everyone's expressions and said, "I think we must sever all contact with the half-demons. Otherwise, when he returns..."
The President of the Duck Country agreed, "Yes! When we traded with the half-demons, they promised to bypass the Great Powers and give us technology. But now we have all mastered S-class information, even more than they gave us. Is there any need to continue trading with them?"
"Although the Great Power Country may have noticed something unusual, they may not have any conclusive evidence, and we still treat them with respect and have not done anything that harms their interests. So it's not too late!" proposed a president.
Everyone nodded in agreement. The mention of that young man made everyone feel fearful, both in terms of strength and conscience, although their consciences were not that ample...
"The urgent matter now is to withdraw your troops from the magical forest in the Alps, isn't it?" From one of the five seats, the leader of the Columbia Kingdom spoke with displeasure. "I didn't agree to you sending troops there in the first place. Now, the elf princess has returned, and we can't get any resources, and you've surrounded his land. When he comes back, won't he directly target our Columbia Kingdom?"
Hearing the Columbia Kingdom's President's rebuke, Prime Minister Boris of the Britannic Empire chuckled sarcastically. "President Mata, you're blaming us, but haven't you also sent troops? And you sent the most, the entire southern part of the magical forest is full of your people, isn't it?"
The presidents of the four major countries glanced at him, their eyes carrying a subtle mockery. The presidents below also had contemptuous expressions.
President Mata of the Columbia Kingdom immediately became anxious. "Hmph! I was just helping Mr. Bai Ye guard the pasture and prevent some scoundrels from disturbing it!"
"Heh heh~" The President of the Republic of France spread his hands and smiled. "Who isn't?"
"That's right! We sent troops to help Brother Ye guard the resources, and on the other hand, to prevent the magical plants from rioting!"
"Exactly!"
The conference room was in chaos, with everyone finding reasonable explanations, leading to a heated exchange.
White Lantern scanned everyone and said loudly, "So, you all intend to stick to the Alliance of Great Powers?"
The noisy discussions suddenly fell silent at his reprimand. White Lantern continued, "It cannot be denied that currently, that guy is indeed the ceiling of power on Blue Star. But the half-demons have also admitted that the Demon King's power is not the peak. Above him, there are supreme beings, realms that we cannot reach!"
"When Blue Star is completely opened, can that guy stop it? Even if we make significant breakthroughs and are equipped with SS-grade equipment, can we stop it?"
"On the contrary, with SS-grade equipment, we no longer need to fear that guy. So, don't you think it's too hasty to make a choice now?"
The presidents of the Western world were shocked. Some information was beyond their reach. Were there beings even higher than the Demon King? What kind of world-ending power would they possess?
The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Britannia spread his hands, his eyes filled with cunning smiles. "Actually, there's nothing to consider. On the surface, we continue to maintain good relations with the Alliance of Great Powers, and secretly, we continue to contact the half-demons. No matter who wins, we will be on the winning side. Why not?"
"But... the Great Power Country represents humanity. Are we betraying humanity by doing this?" a president whispered.
"Hahaha..." White Lantern and a few others laughed, all looking at the "naive" president.
Boris said, "You are mistaken. To use the Great Power's words, this is called enduring humiliation for a greater cause, saving humanity through a roundabout way, and preserving our living strength for humanity!"
White Lantern nodded with satisfaction, his face full of wrinkles. "The contributions of the Great Power Country are indelible, but there's no need to belittle ourselves. Everyone is just taking different paths... President Mata, what do you say?"
The President of the Columbia Kingdom turned to look at the four people beside him and finally nodded. Although the actions of these hypocrites were despicable, they were indeed the most beneficial for their current interests.
The faces of the other presidents also gradually revealed smiles.
"Prime Minister! Urgent news!" Just as various countries were making their decisions, a senior advisor from the Britannic Empire rushed to Boris's side.
Similarly, the consultants and secretaries beside the presidents of other countries rushed to their respective leaders with mobile phones and tablets in their hands.
"Is it SS-grade demonic artifact data?"
Bai Ye's account has been updated again! The European summit, other high-level meetings of countries, and even the Great Powers at this moment all stopped. Everyone was paying attention to Bai Ye's update.
"It is indeed!"
"It's SS-grade demonic artifact manufacturing data!"
"Bai Ye, you are truly a great sage, a great wise man!"
"Haha~ Although I don't quite like him, and I'm even afraid and dislike him, we still have to thank him!"
At the European summit, the presidents of Western countries burst into laughter, so much so that a set of false teeth fell to the ground.
However, their merriment lasted only a few minutes before they all stopped.
"Garbled characters! What's going on?"
"The material books are fine, but why are the forging procedures garbled?"
"The rune carving and magic crystal inlay data are also chaotic and unreadable!"
"Shit! What exactly is going on? Is there a problem with data transmission?"
"Son of a bitch! Hurry up and get the technical department to see what happened!!!"
The European summit descended into chaos. Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, and South America were also in confusion. Why would it suddenly become garbled?
In the capital of the Great Power Country. The smiles on the faces of White Lantern and others were transferred to Elder Liu, Elder Song, and others.
"Hahaha! Good boy, as expected of our Hua Xia lineage, you haven't let us down!"
"I bet the outside world is in utter chaos! Today is the most satisfying day in a while. It still has to be this kid!"
"Just watch, it won't be long before they come running to us in the Great Powers again."
"Don't say anything. Just pretend, pretend we don't know anything. Let's figure it out first!"
The system transmitted the data. Bai Ye couldn't control the transmission to whom, so he could only make it public. However, with Bai Ye's intelligence, he had made a contingency plan for other untrusted countries.
For the SS-grade demonic artifact data, in addition to the manufacturing materials, he used a set of encryption methods from the Great Power Country's military. Other countries could not see it, but the Great Powers could easily understand it with a little research.
"It's completely deciphered, the value is immeasurable!!" The Minister of Security rushed into Elder Liu's office with documents.
Elder Liu and the others all stood up and said anxiously, "Quick, tell us!"
"There are 2 sets of complete SS-grade demonic artifact data, and 3 sets of relatively complete data, and 6 sets of incomplete data!"
Upon hearing this, the supreme leaders burst into laughter. "Good! Heaven bless our Great Powers!!"
"No, no, it's our Great Powers that are lucky, thanks to that kid!"
The Minister of Security also had a smile on his face, his hands trembling slightly. He swallowed and interrupted, "There... there's even more important information!"
Elder Liu and Elder Song were stunned and looked at him.
The Minister of Security handed them the last document, his voice trembling with excitement. "This, this seems to be, also includes parts of SSS-grade demonic, demonic artifact data..."
...
The alien passage, the dwarf tribe.
Bai Ye sat by the lake, barbecuing with some dwarf children while checking his messages.
He was somewhat perplexed. In the past few days, he had finally sent all the demonic artifact data back to Blue Star. His prestige had skyrocketed like a flying saucer at first, but it stopped after a while. What had gone wrong?
"Thank you, Lord of Light!"
"Hehe! Lord of Light cooks better than my mommy!"
"Lord of Light is too amazing."
...
The dwarf children hopped around Bai Ye, their eyes filled with adoration and faith. Since Bai Ye's arrival, they had felt unprecedented security!
"Lord of Light!" The bearded chief saw Bai Ye by the lake and walked over with a smile.
"Dada, take your friends to play somewhere else. I need to talk to Lord of Light about something!"
"Okay, Chief Grandpa!" The bald child obediently led the children away.
"Is there anything, Chief Stuwicko?"
"Lord of Light. As you instructed, we have opened the warehouse and are forging weapons with all our might. Now, almost everyone in the tribe is equipped. However... our resources are also depleted. To continue upgrading, we need to go out and gather them." The bearded chief looked troubled.
Bai Ye smiled gently and stood up. He was wearing a stylish animal-skin outfit now, with a Tang sword at his waist, which the dwarf tribe had personally made for him.
He looked cool with a touch of wildness!
"You want to go to the Narath Mountains to gather?" He had heard them mention that there was a large mine in the Narath Mountains with many minerals, but it was guarded by a fearsome magical beast.
"Lord of Light truly has foresight. We do want to go to the Narath Mountains." The bearded chief looked up at the sky, hesitating to speak.
"I'll go with you."
"Thank you, Lord of Light!"
