Chapter 285 Incalculable Bad Influence on Teenagers (5000)

The *Global Cultivation* channel, hosted by the United International, is the official news channel broadcasting extraordinary news from around the world 24/7. It is also the sole and absolutely formal platform for all major supernatural cultivation news worldwide, with over twenty-six different language versions, making it a truly global channel.

Whether it's the Citizen Points System or the groundbreaking innovations in cybernetic modification by the American Federation, all major news from the Spirit Qi recovery era is published on this channel.

The news regarding the Beast God Realm was broadcast at 9:00 AM, Earth time and Zheng Country time.

With news broadcasts in various languages around the world, for most Earthlings, a world with a large number of intelligent creatures, even developing a primitive spirit beast civilization, named the Beast God Realm, appeared before their eyes.

In an instant, this news went viral. The discovery of an alien civilization completely different from Earth's civilization could be considered the biggest news of the century, second only to the Spirit Qi recovery—especially as the first alien civilization contacted by humans, the Beast God Realm civilization has significant special significance.

"I knew it, humans couldn't be so lonely! There are intelligent life forms in other worlds, so there must be some in outer space, right?"

"That's not necessarily true, but the Beast God Realm, is it all a world of spirit beasts and divine beasts? Something feels a bit off..."

"Connected to the Kunlun Secret Realm, a world left behind by ancient immortals and gods? Wait, according to this, aren't these beings taught by immortals essentially our distant relatives... Tsk, I thought it was a real alien civilization..."

Although, as a large amount of related information was released, many netizens who were excited about contacting alien civilizations cooled down. After all, as one netizen said, in the end, a civilization influenced by immortals and gods is just a distant relative of Earth's civilization. It's almost like the Europa immigrants finding native civilizations in the New World, except this time, Earth's civilization is going to a new world.

Moreover, because the main body of the civilization is mostly spirit beasts, some Europa netizens cautiously asked: "Is this Beast God Realm related to those magical beasts that surged out of the Slovenian mountains?"

Magical beasts and spirit beasts are both beasts, and essentially just have different names, so it's no wonder that the Europa people who have suffered magical beast attacks are so nervous.

Taking advantage of this wave of discussion, officials from major forces around the world have also reiterated that in other worlds and realms, there may be intelligent creatures and civilizations different from humans, similar to the divine beast civilization of the Beast God Realm.

This statement also slightly curbed the global craze for transmigrating to other worlds.

At the beginning of the spacetime changes, when the gates to various realms around the world opened, many people complained about why their countries didn't open permissions to explore other worlds, even if it was just to take a look, or travel.

After gaining supernatural powers, people's desires also increased. Ordinary mountain climbing and beach tourism could no longer satisfy most people, and out of curiosity, they naturally wanted to see the scenery of those other worlds.

But now, through some vague hints or even explicit statements in the official news, they all understood the reason why major global forces were sealing off the realm gates—if there were civilizations in other worlds that were similar to or even more advanced than Earth's civilization, then their random wandering and adventures in other worlds, if caught, would be equivalent to exposing Earth's civilization's information.

Rising to the level of the survival of the world and the human race, naturally no one dared to say more, and even exploring a world like the Beast God Realm, which is behind Earth, still requires caution.

However, after learning that there may also be various intelligent life forms and civilizations in other worlds, mysterious organizations everywhere—especially extreme mysterious organizations like the Heavenly God Descendant Society—immediately flocked to it like cats smelling fish.

"If there are other intelligent creatures, then we don't need to use humans for sacrifice anymore."

This isn't because the higher-ups of the Descendant Society still retain some humanity, but because they are very clear that in the current situation, wanting to kill humans on a large scale for sacrifice or use souls to 'grow crops' on Earth is now ten times more difficult than before. Especially now that with the Spirit Qi recovery, a large number of formation detections and even karma tracking techniques can be used normally, it is very difficult for them to hide.

Since it is so difficult to develop secretly on Earth, it is better to take a gamble and go directly to another world to capture people from other worlds for blood sacrifice—wouldn't that be a wide-open world?

Most of the members of the Covenant Society originally had this idea, but after their lurking lines were inexplicably caught, the entire Covenant Society, like a startled rabbit, once again went into hiding... Anyway, after being severely damaged, the focus of their organization is no longer on this.

But the Descendant Society is different. Because they don't have such high-level lurking lines in official organizations, they don't know the real situation of the Beast God Realm, so they still maintain a high level of enthusiasm for finding opportunities to go to another world.

However, they may not have thought that their existence itself is also a dark chess piece left behind by major global forces.

"If we encounter alien civilizations that are full of malice towards us and are not weak in strength, we can release these tumors."

These words were said by a cultivator representative from a Southeast Asian country, who snorted coldly: "These tumors are lurking on Earth, like invisible poisonous sores. It's a good way to make use of waste by letting them go to other worlds to harm other civilizations sooner."

"Indeed." A Zhu Country representative also agreed: "Of course, the best way is to catch all these anti-human elements and put them on trial. After all, if they really make a big commotion in other worlds, it will also be a threat to us."

These two regions, as well as the Central Asian, South American, and American-Central regions that did not speak, are all regions where mysterious organizations are causing trouble, and the locals suffer deeply from it.

In order to guide public opinion, the official news about the Beast God Realm considered many factors and deleted many key parts. For example, news about the Shengzhu Great Tree was completely concealed without any reports.

But for ordinary netizens, the things they think about are very simple.

"It really is all beasts, not beast-eared girls." This was a disappointing comment from a Ying Island netizen.

"Furry is no good, disappointed, not interested." This was a disappointing comment from an American netizen.

"Which ones can be eaten? Is the taste good?" This was a comment from a Zheng Country netizen.

Among them, the netizens of the Europa Union were the most concerned about the situation of the Beast God Realm. In particular, Seros, a well-known local internet celebrity and emerging program judge, seemed to have participated in the exploration of the Beast God Realm. She posted many photos of the scenery of the Beast God Realm on her personal account, as well as some video clips of spirit beasts and humans communicating.

Although these photos and video clips are obviously official articles required to be posted on their behalf, they do indeed let everyone know more about the situation of the Beast God Realm.

However, from these fragments, they can only see a very ignorant and backward world, which can even be called barbaric.

Sacrificial species as food, slave and production species occasionally used as blood food and delicacies, combat species fighting for divine beasts, and the top divine beasts.

In such a beastly civilization of mutual devouring, where divine beasts oppress everything, and even more terrible than the ancient slavery system, the kings of the various races are now caught in internal strife due to accidental death, and are in chaos. According to some news revealed in the news, it seems that the United International intends to take this opportunity to influence the Beast God Realm and transform it into a more gentle civilization.

This should have been a good thing, but some people still expressed dissatisfaction with it.

"The Beast God Realm is an independent alien world, why should we interfere with each other?!"

This was an anonymous netizen from the Europa region, who criticized so fiercely that his tone was almost like a saint: "This is too arrogant. The law of the jungle is the nature of living beings. We can't use human morality to demand them. What's more, how do you know which spirit beasts don't like this kind of life?"

Even some anonymous netizens from Zheng Country agreed with him, and they were unusually righteous.

"Yes, you are not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish? How do you know which spirit beasts are not happy? Arbitrarily interfering with other civilizations, such behavior is not advisable!"

Su Zhou, who was attending the celebration banquet on the Kunlun Plateau, was controlling the water element to peel shrimp and crabs for himself while eating and browsing the forum with his mind.

This banquet is essentially just a gathering, and the interpersonal interactions in the hall are the real focus. But what does all this have to do with Su Zhou? If you don't eat at a banquet, what's the point of calling it a banquet? Therefore, he sat quietly with a few acquaintances, eating his own dishes.

However, after seeing this comment, even Su Zhou, a giant on the internet, blinked several times subconsciously, thinking that he had seen it wrong... Then, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Silly netizens really can surprise me!"

"What's wrong?"

Shao Qiming, who was sitting next to him, was using wood energy to control his chopsticks, letting them float in the air to pick up vegetables. He noticed the strange expression on his friend's face and asked casually. Su Zhou didn't say much and directly handed his phone to him.

Immediately, Shao Qiming was also speechless, shaking his head with a sigh, and returning the phone to Su Zhou: "These people don't treat the spirit beasts of the Beast God Realm as intelligent life at all, right? They can say such ridiculous things as 'How do you know they are not happy when they are eaten?' They are really arrogant to the extreme!"

--In fact, some spirit beasts are not necessarily happy when they are eaten, but they are really willing.

Su Zhou understood the thoughts of the spirit beasts even more than Shao Qiming, who only participated in the construction of the Beast God Realm fortress... But that kind of twisted thinking is based on a mistake. Instead of correcting it, allowing it to develop is the real mistake.

"Moreover, what's wrong with arrogance? A civilization that doesn't even have arrogance and confidence can't be built at all--when a civilization loses even the things that are worthy of being arrogant towards other civilizations, it means that this civilization is comprehensively behind the other."

"The sages worked so hard to build civilization so that later generations would not have to face the arrogance of others, and even be able to mock the other party arrogantly."

There is no doubt that arrogance is wrong, and the sages have said this.

However, only the stronger side of a civilization can take the initiative to humbly admit this mistake.

Of course, Su Zhou didn't need to use such a lofty and rational reply to answer this level of silly netizens. He didn't even bother to argue with them, but also skillfully put on anonymity: "Politically correct SJW, get out of here!" (爪巴 - zhuǎ bā)

Things should have passed like this, just an ordinary internet flame war.

However, just as the banquet was about to end, Su Zhou unexpectedly discovered that the number of his Weibo followers suddenly ushered in a surge.

"Huh, what's going on?"

Casually biting a chopstick and swallowing it, Su Zhou stared at his Weibo prompts, a little puzzled: "Did the official buy water armies and zombie fans for me again? That shouldn't be the case."

But soon, he knew why, because Li Hanshan next to him forwarded a video to him--it's strange, how is Li Hanshan's position so far away from him? Didn't their team eat together before?

Tsk, why is he shaking again? I just glanced at him, so autism is troublesome...

After muttering a few words in his heart, Su Zhou clicked on the video.

Immediately, he understood why Li Hanshan was suddenly far away from him.

Because that video was a recording of Su Zhou turning into a giant dragon to fight in the Beast God Realm, and finally turning the divine bird Guiche into a black screen of blood plasma with one bite—Li Hanshan, who also has the bloodline of a divine bird, naturally felt a little empathy and phantom pain in his neck.

"Sure enough, this recording leaked out. It even has multilingual annotations, pointing out that this dragon is my true form."

Su Zhou was not surprised by this. From the beginning, he knew that this recording would definitely be leaked, and the purpose of other countries was not necessarily to attack and disgust him, but at most to curb the increasingly high popularity and reputation of Su Zhou in the world.

But speaking of which, why did my fans increase? Logically speaking, shouldn't it decrease?

Su Zhou clicked on the comment area of this video with a strange expression.

He thought that most of the comments inside would criticize him for being cruel and bloody... But what he never expected was that most of the people inside were enthusiastically discussing what kind of dragon he was, how strong he was, and how cool the final rocket-propelled flight was!

"There is no such dragon in myths and legends or modern works on Earth!" A netizen who claimed to be a folklore researcher said confidently: "Professor Su's true form is obviously a very unusual and unique true form, one of a kind!"

"On the gap between the strength of quasi-ruler rank and true ruler rank—the strength of a perfect peak Transcendent rank divine beast + blessing of an ancestor relic is about equal to the initial entry into the ruler rank, and Su Zhou can kill a divine beast in seconds, proving that his strength is at least five times that of an ordinary initial entry into the ruler rank!" This was a professional netizen comparing combat power, and Su Zhou didn't understand what 'quasi-ruler rank and true ruler rank' were at all, let alone what 'perfect peak Transcendent rank' was.

"Su Zhou used a big move! He started eating people!" This was playing a meme.

"Want to eat duck neck." This was easy to understand.

A netizen named [I Understand Everything!] even got a high number of likes: "Good eating! But why didn't you add chili peppers?" The comments below were even more chaotic, with people adding vinegar, salt, sugar, and even surströmming. It was a flavorful comment.

Not only that, there were also many interesting comments in the comment area.

[Ask Him If He Knows]: "Zhou Zhou, don't eat it, eating it raw is not clean, Mommy is scared."

[Su Zhou Fan Club 014]: "Zhou Zhou is so handsome!"

[Su Zhou Fan Club 0]: "Zhou Zhou is so handsome!"

[Objectively Speaking]: "I told you that this person is very fierce?! You didn't believe me! Now the evidence is conclusive!"

[Tian Hanshan Se]: "I think this is very bad, the bad influence on teenagers is incalculable."

After browsing the comments again, Su Zhou immediately understood the current situation—it turned out that because Su Zhou's reputation was not good in the first place, his personality was irritable and he liked to spray people, and he was not a little angel at all. Basically, all his fans, whether they were haters or normal people, thought that Su Zhou was indeed a bad guy who could do things like eating enemies raw.

In general, his personality has not collapsed, so there is no need to be afraid of such a small matter.

After reading the comments for a while, Su Zhou couldn't help but shake his head with a smile: "Hey, I didn't expect this matter to pass so easily. I thought it would cause a wave of condemnation on the internet."

Thinking so, he was quite emotional in his heart: "A bad reputation also has the benefits of a bad reputation. It turns out that choosing to be a villain lowers everyone's standards for me so much?"

He overestimated the empathy of netizens with his own standards—a divine bird, in his opinion, is also an intelligent creature, but for most humans, as long as the other party doesn't turn into a human form, then eat it, so what? Where does the psychological burden come from, or hate someone because of it?.

Obviously, this time the video leak did not cause the consequences that the leaker wanted to achieve, and it can even be said that it achieved the complete opposite effect.

In response, Su Zhou even ate two more tables of dishes happily for the sake of this increase in fans, and the celebration banquet ended successfully afterwards.

And several days later

On the day when Jin Qiong, who was rushing to put the great roc on the shelves, defeated several divine birds who were trying to compete with her and successfully obtained the title of King of the Feather Tribe, and received the loyalty of the entire Feather Tribe.

The Beast God Realm, the two-world portal fortress, welcomed an unexpected visitor.

That was one of the five tribes, the King of the Hair Tribe.

Divine Beast, Water Kirin An Duo (沲 - duo).
