However, soon some strange problems arose.
"Do you think such life-and-death trials are against humanity?"
Luo Xiaowei raised an eyebrow and looked at the reporter who asked the question. He was a foreigner with yellow hair, no wonder.
His name was Bill Hugh, and he was a reporter from the Sun Never Sets country.
Bill Hugh's gaze met Luo Xiaowei's. The scene of this guy in the secret realm slashing demon beasts as if his life didn't matter flashed in his mind, and he felt a sudden inexplicable panic.
But thinking of his mission, he still mustered up his courage and met Luo Xiaowei's gaze head-on, "Mr. Luo, can you answer my question?" 138 Reading Network
Luo Xiaowei sneered, "Although I don't know what your purpose is, I'm too lazy to play coy with you."
Everyone noticed that Luo Xiaowei's tone had changed directly, becoming murderous. "This is just the beginning, and you're already talking about violating humanity? This is just a competition that both parties agreed to. It's just that the loser will face life danger. Do you want to get rich overnight while lying down?"
"This world has changed. If you want to restrain us with the peaceful morals of the past, you won't know how you'll die in the future!"
Everyone was shocked by Luo Xiaowei's words. How could he say such careless things? Would this be taken out of context?
However, some people were thoughtful. These words carried some vague meaning. Why did he say they wouldn't know how they would die in the future? Would they encounter some danger later?
Bill Hugh was ecstatic. He didn't have time to think about so many things. His mind was filled with completing the task, and he had even thought of the headline for editing after returning!
"Chinese people despise life after gaining strength!"
"Cultivators make people cruel!"
"Immortal cultivation is destroying our civilization!"
"Is it a mistake for Chinese people to possess such power?"
...
Interestingly, this question also appeared in the interviews of the other trial participants.
Li Qingyun's answer was: "There was no coercion to participate, and everything was explained in advance. How can it be said to be inhumane? Moreover, I even think those who court death waste the trial spots!"
Meng Zibin's answer was: "Ridiculous! This is the best era, giving ordinary people a chance to defy the heavens and change their destiny! You worry about whether it's inhumane for others, but it's definitely more humane than a certain country that uses nuclear bombs for surprise attacks!"
Bai Nianchen's answer was: "Riches and dangers always coexist. This poor Taoist is sad for those inside, but not sympathetic to them. As for whether it is humane or not, everyone has the right to choose. This is very humane."
Wang Teng's answer was more agitated: "Are you trying to provoke me? Say it again if you dare, and look me in the eye!"
...
Finally, each of them encountered another identical question: "Why do you have to try so hard? Isn't peaceful cultivation good?"
This was the thought of most people.
Zhang Xiaohu's desperation was understandable, but others were a bit perplexing.
Wang Teng and Meng Zibin were undoubtedly second-generation rich, lacking money in the slightest.
In peacetime, with no war, why would they need to put themselves in danger time and time again?
Even for their country, with the difference in aptitude, if they developed properly, Xia country would definitely be a behemoth that other countries would not dare to provoke, and there would be no need to rush.
Even with Chu Yang's existence, anyone who dared to touch Xia country would be an idiot.
But to this question, everyone's answer was basically the same.
"Because if we don't fight, we die!"
All the reporters looked at each other, not understanding what they meant.
...
Some people also noticed these reporters who came with ill intentions and were organized, and they quietly informed Wang Zhicheng.
Wang Zhicheng narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Heh heh, these guys are still scheming. Don't worry about them, they're just clowns!"
"But they might guide those trial participants to say some unpleasant things."
Wang Zhicheng said dismissively, "It's okay, those kids are much more sensible than I imagined, they know where the line is!"
"Alright then."
"..."
These reporters were naturally initiated by the United States. Although they came from other countries, they were actually bought off at a high price.
Last time they tried to use nuclear bombs to destroy the immortal cultivation era square, not only did they fail, but Chu Yang used it as material to promote immortal cultivation to the world.
After that, the United States was unilaterally sanctioned by Xia country, which meant they were banned from accessing immortal cultivation.
When this sanction was issued, they were relieved.
They were afraid that a divine being called Big Brother Xian would fly over with a "whoosh" and, in his anger, unleash lightning to turn them into ashes!
Their President, Obden, was so angry that he almost died. But after he woke up, despite the immense pressure, he managed to stay in the presidential seat by bribing various connections and pushing through dissenting opinions.
However, as time went by, and with the broadcast of the demon beast secret realm trials, they became more and more restless!
The monstrous growth of those Xia country people was too terrifying. Li Qingyun's skills were like explosions, and Wang Teng was a human-shaped beast, capable of disassembling a large truck with one punch!
Others were not weak either. This was only after a short period of popularization.
If they were given a year or two to grow, they might all become terrifying figures like Big Brother Xian.
Just thinking about it was a bleak prospect, and they would be suffocated by Xia country for the rest of their lives.
And this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that people from other countries, even if their aptitude was slightly worse, could still cultivate, but they could not.
This was unacceptable. They had to find a way to put pressure on Xia country!
Obden now had several edited articles from reporters, which were obtained from interviewing the trial participants.
"Hmph, you Xia country want to exclude us? Dream on!"
Some people advised him not to go too far, lest he provoke that terrifying man.
But Obden was not afraid. Last time they brought the nuclear bombs, that man did not come to slaughter them.
What did this explain? It explained that this big brother had morals!
With morals, they could be blackmailed!
They were best at moral blackmail!
So that evening, the US spokesperson released an article on social media.
The title of the article was "The Immortal Cultivation of the Chinese People is Destroying Our Civilization. Should This Forbidden Power Be Restricted?"
The article was entirely about the threat posed by the improvement of cultivators' strength to humanity. It selectively quoted the words of Luo Xiaowei and others during their interviews and spoke with great solemnity, claiming that once cultivators grew stronger, they would definitely bring profound disasters to human society!
It then discussed everything from evolutionary theory to social science, from dialectical materialism to the law of cause and effect.
In short, it meant: if cultivators were allowed to cultivate freely, it would accelerate the extinction of humanity!
Their suggestion was that Chu Yang should control the cultivation of cultivators in this world to the highest Foundation Establishment realm, and revoke the sanctions against the United States, which would be conducive to human unity.
