Chu Yang's head slowly formed three question marks.
Are they trying to pull this kind of stunt with me? Have I been too merciful?
Has this President been drinking fake alcohol? Or do they already possess the strength to contend with him?
Seeing Chu Yang return, Xue Qianwei excitedly brought her phone to him!
"Chu Yang, Chu Yang! Have you seen the news? The US is targeting you again! They're trying to morally blackmail you!"
Boss Xue wore an expression of someone enjoying a good show, eager to see Chu Yang put on a display. Then their Xiong Miao Group could also show off!
Chu Yang scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Do I look very moral? Why do they think moral blackmail is a tactic that can be used against me?"
Xue Qianwei said disdainfully, "You cold-blooded animal! What kind of morals do you have!"
Hearing Boss Xue say this, Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. This impression of him not being easy to deal with meant it wasn't his problem.
It seemed that the President's mental state was worrying.
"How are you going to resolve this? Why not just blast him with a lightning bolt?"
Chu Yang was startled: "Good heavens, how did you become so ruthless?"
"He's a bad old man who wants to hinder our development. He deserves to die!"
Chu Yang spread his hands, saying nonchalantly, "It's fine, he can't hinder us."
"But you can't let him talk such nonsense!"
"Don't be nervous. Let him jump around for another day or two. He won't really think I'm easy to talk to, will he?"
Xue Qianwei's pupils contracted slightly, and she cautiously asked, "Are you going to announce it? What's happening three years from now?"
Chu Yang nodded: "The preventative measures have been administered sufficiently. It's just right to let that clown add fuel to the fire, so the effect of a slap in the face will be even stronger."
"Good heavens, you've truly mastered the 'cool novel' trope!"
...
Compared to the agitated United States, the people of Xia Kingdom were clearly more interested in Chu Yang's plan.
Xiao Bai Xiong was a well-known blogger on a domestic website.
He had millions of followers and was originally a game reviewer. Since the trend of immortal cultivation began, he had quickly transformed, starting with reviews of cultivation techniques. After the trials in the Demon Spirit Realm began, he started making commentary videos about these trial participants.
Xiao Bai Xiong's real name was Xie Chen. In fact, his talent was quite good, possessing upper-tier potential.
It was just that he wasn't as brave as others and didn't dare to sign up for the Demon Spirit Realm trials. However, he also had his own goals.
He wanted to make interesting videos.
In recent days, his trial commentary videos had garnered millions of views, with one even reaching a staggering ten million views.
Of course, that video was a prediction of the final rankings, and fortunately, all ten predictions were correct.
This also earned him the nickname "Prophet."
Now he had made another video, and he had a feeling this would also be a bombshell!
"Immortal Brother, please bless me, and don't let me down with all the evidence I've gathered this time!"
The people of Xia Kingdom completely ignored the US President's frenzied online rants, as they were drawn to Xiao Bai Xiong's newly released video.
The video was titled "A Prediction: In the Near Future, Humanity Will Face a Great Battle!"
Xiao Bai Xiong was already a famous blogger, and as soon as this video was released, it quickly gained traction.
This video also reached Wang Zhicheng.
He curiously opened the video recommended by his subordinate: "Oh, this title, quite interesting!"
Then he saw Xiao Bai Xiong confidently stating in the video, "As everyone knows, I, Xiao Bai Xiong, am a god in the world of prediction! My previous prediction of the top ten was perfect, and I gained many fans. To maintain my persona as a prophet, I've stayed up late collecting all sorts of data! Now, please watch this!"
The screen then showed an interview with Luo Xiaowei: "This world has changed. If we try to restrain ourselves with the old ways of peace, we won't know how we'll die in the future!"
Xiao Bai Xiong said with great seriousness, "Did you hear what Ah Wei said? We won't know how we'll die in the future. This is an implication. It means that if we continue to indulge in peace like this, we will face a severe crisis in the future!"
"If you think Ah Wei's words are a coincidence, you can listen to how they respond when asked 'Why are you fighting so hard!'"
Then the screen shifted again, and all six individuals said in unison with cold tones: "Because, if we don't fight, we die!"
Xiao Bai Xiong slammed the table and pointed at the viewers on the screen: "Such a consistent answer! Doesn't that explain the problem? Why would 'if we don't fight, we die'? Because if we don't fight, our strength won't improve! There must be powerful enemies in the future that will put immense pressure on them, which is why they say 'if we don't fight, we die'!"
"If you still think this is far-fetched, you can look at Immortal Brother's actions during this period!"
"First, he sold cultivation techniques through live streams, allowing a small number of people to cultivate, thus igniting the public's desire for immortal cultivation. Once everyone recognized the value of immortal cultivation, he launched the [Cultivation Technique Pavilion] and [Talent Appraisal Stone]. And then, less than a week later, he introduced the concept of the demon beast secret realm, the [Demon Spirit Realm], which directly became a life-and-death trial!"
"And there are still second trials, exploration of the Time Secret Realm, and even more brutal trials to come!"
"Everyone, recall this. Our transition from a peaceful era to almost universal immortal cultivation, and now the acceptance of these life-and-death trials, isn't it incredible?"
"What's even more incredible is that the entire process, from beginning to end, has only been about a month! Isn't this a bit too abnormally rushed?"
Xiao Bai Xiong became more animated as he spoke, "And the reason Immortal Brother is accelerating our cultivation process so much is that time is urgent. He's even resorting to iron-fisted methods like life-and-death trials to speed up the cultivation of geniuses!"
"Let's make a bold assumption! In the near future, there might be a monster invasion of Planet Blue, and we must rely on immortal cultivation to reach a certain level to resist them. But time is critical, and Immortal Brother needs to use some unconventional methods to force humanity's growth to accelerate!"
"Ahem... This is all my wild speculation, don't take it seriously! Just treat it as entertainment! Even if monsters do invade, don't we still have the reliable Immortal Brother? And the Son of the Great Dao, Li Qingyun, the Innate Dao Body, Bai Daochang, the True Dragon Bloodline, Wang Teng..."
The video was about to end here.
The comment section was also buzzing.
"Marking my territory. If this is true, I'll stab the prophet!"
"Xiao Bai Xiong, your statement is very dangerous!"
"I have traveled from three years in the future. Humanity is facing an unprecedented crisis, and I need everyone's help. My blood energy is depleted. It happens that today is Crazy Thursday, V50, let me have a hearty meal before I go to battle!"
