Rongcheng.
Meng Zibin poured Chen Xiaohan a cup of tea, allowing her to calm her emotions.
Although it seemed the two had watched the scene of the demon invasion with impassive expressions throughout, Chen Xiaohan was clearly not as calm as expected; her shoulders trembled slightly.
Chen Xiaohan accepted the tea from Meng Zibin, curled up on the sofa, and said in a low voice, "You knew all along, didn't you? About what would happen three years later."
Meng Zibin nodded, then continued, "Yes, it wasn't just me. Li Qingyun, Bai Daozhang, Wang Teng, and others already knew about this matter. Moreover... at the time, it entered our minds directly as memories, as if we had personally experienced it."
Chen Xiaohan's face grew increasingly displeased. "So, my actions were like those of a clown, weren't they? You are all heroes striving to save the world, your ambitions are grander than the heavens, and only I spend my days plotting how to kill them!"
She finally understood why Li Qingyun never looked at her directly; it was because her actions were like a clown's! Even that damned Luo Xiaowei was the same, placing themselves in the lofty position of heroes saving the world!
"It's not... it's just that some things don't need to be dwelled upon so much. If we can't even defeat those damned demons three years from now, then everything we do will eventually vanish into nothingness."
The veins on Chen Xiaohan's arm were faintly visible, as if insects were wriggling beneath them.
This was the consequence of cultivating the Gu Poison Scripture; her entire blood had been used to feed the poison gu, and she endured non-human suffering every moment.
But as long as she thought about making Li Qingyun, Luo Xiaowei, and others fear her, she felt no pain at all.
Sometimes, Meng Zibin found it difficult to understand. She and Li Qingyun had no deep-seated hatred, nor had he ever slandered her, yet he had turned Chen Xiaohan into this state.
"I'm tired, I'm going to rest..."
Chen Xiaohan left the sofa expressionlessly, leaving Meng Zibin alone to sigh inwardly while watching the livestream.
Why was this child so stubborn?
Meanwhile, Chu Yang on the screen was still speaking eloquently, but a comment from "US Diplomacy" kept saying unpleasant things.
Obuden's eyes were now bloodshot, and his motives had become impure. From initially trying to morally blackmail Chu Yang to gain benefits for the US, it had devolved into being successful as long as Chu Yang acknowledged him.
As for the video just now, he refused to believe it. Human destruction had nothing to do with him. Anyway, with those Xia country natives who were naturally suited for immortal cultivation to bear the brunt, he was determined to clash with Chu Yang to the end!
At this moment, Chu Yang was still speaking unhurriedly, "Although we are about to face a great catastrophe, as the saying goes, heroes emerge in times of trouble. This is also the best era. As long as you dare to strive, the next Zhang Xiaohu could be you!"
"Although Daxia, as descendants of Shenzhou, has its advantages in cultivation aptitude, foreign friends should not be too pessimistic. No matter how poor your aptitude is, can it be worse than Zhang Xiaohu's? As the saying goes, hard work pays off; opportunities do not come to you; you have to fight for them with your life!"
Chu Yang was quite grateful to Zhang Xiaohu, as this kid's comeback story was very inspiring and excellent material for motivational talks!
It was just that repeatedly mentioning poor aptitude made Zhang Xiaohu, who was far away in Shangnan Village, feel rather awkward.
Actually, there was no need to emphasize it so many times. After all, he considered himself to have mediocre to below-average aptitude, right?
"However, when all of us are working hard for the future of humanity, there are always some inexplicable remarks spewing forth, akin to idiocy, like this one."
Chu Yang clicked on the comment posted by Obuden.
The viewers saw it and exclaimed, "Oh, it's 'US Diplomacy'! This is very interesting."
"Good heavens, a public critique!"
"Is this an official account? Why does it talk like an idiot?"
"As everyone knows, only one country in the world has been blacklisted from immortal cultivation. I won't say who!"
"......"
However, Obuden didn't care what the comments said. When Chu Yang addressed him, he was overjoyed!
It was like his long-pursued goddess finally sent him a message: "What do you want?" making him feel elated!
So, the President directly typed away, then translated and pasted it into the comments: "If you continue to act so stubbornly, humanity will be destroyed by your hands! Setting aside whether your video is fake or not, even if it's true, excluding such a large population as the US from the system, is this your entire perspective?"
"You are a thorough devil! You owe the entire US an explanation! If you still refuse to repent, God will punish you, a devil who disregards humanity!"
Obuden dared to be so arrogant precisely because he believed Chu Yang would definitely not dare to act against him; he thought of him as a reasonable person.
Furthermore, the lack of response from him in the past two days had given him even more confidence!
Chu Yang was still smiling. He said to everyone in the livestream, "I don't know where some people got the misconception that I am easy to talk to. Generally, in the world of immortal cultivation, those who dare to challenge the protagonist are either geniuses of the same realm or those stronger than the protagonist."
"Someone who can't even touch my clothes, yet constantly provokes me, such a person can only be described by two words – an idiot!"
The comments were filled with "Hahahaha."
A killing intent gradually appeared in Chu Yang's eyes, and his tone became progressively colder. "Although the nonsense you're spouting is of no use to me, your remarks clearly express opposition to the progress of universal immortal cultivation. This is a tumor of humanity, and against a tumor, it can only be excised."
"Sir who is typing, I don't know who you are from the US. You say your God will punish me, so why don't you see if your imagined God possesses such power?"
Chu Yang pointed a finger towards the sky. Instantly, the blue sky above the US was replaced by a fiery red glow.
Terrifying heat surged, and the entire US was covered in red.
A blazing fireball, as dazzling as the sun, pierced through the clouds and slowly descended towards that country.
All the people in the US were stunned!
In an instant, panic spread throughout the country!
On the Xia country side, the people in high positions had their phones explode with calls, all filled with panicked apologies.
As for their instigator, the President, he looked at his door blankly. He heard terrified screams out of control.
Violent knocking "bang bang bang" sounded.
"Fuck! You old bastard! Apologize to Xia country quickly!"
"Open the door! Open the door, fuck!"
"You old bastard! You've provoked the person in this world who absolutely cannot be provoked!"
