Above all spirits

Chapter 225 Adding Fuel to the Turmoil

the next day.

The events that occurred on Canglan Star had already spread almost throughout the entire human realm, and even the other seven realms had heard of them.

The fact that this matter could escalate so quickly is largely due to the behind-the-scenes instigation of the Second Prince of Canglan Star. Even without his help, some high-ranking officials in the Demon Realm would have informed the high-ranking officials in the Human Realm about the birth of the Heavenly Demon.

But that would undoubtedly give the Star Alliance the upper hand and allow them to dominate the high ground of false justice. Gu Yun might not care, but it would certainly deepen the implicit resistance of the human race to the demon race.

But it's different now.

As the saying goes, the truth is always easier to spread and more likely to win people's hearts than rumors.

Because rumors are always stirred up by just a few people, while the truth will inspire all those who have experienced it firsthand to speak out.

From the moment Gu Yun entered Canglan Star, to saving the entire Shang family, then rushing to the Ji family, and finally fighting a great battle above the imperial city, he killed countless treacherous Heavenly Demons along the way, and countless people he saved firmly remembered that figure.

Black clothes! Black hair! Blood-stained gun!

Furthermore, the candid statements made by the second prince of the Canglan Empire on behalf of the Canglan royal family and the withdrawal of the War God Temple undoubtedly solidified the truth of the entire incident, and the key points were infinitely amplified.

For example, "The enemy forces of Canglan have been lying in wait for years, brewing this man-made disaster," "Emperor Canglan sacrificed the entire Canglan Star to become a Heavenly Demon, turning all the innocent beings on Canglan Star into demons," and "Almost all the Heavenly Demon Sin Envoys were controlled by Emperor Canglan, jointly causing this tragic situation." and so on.

Of course, there are both negative and positive news.

On the other hand, since Wan Wujiang is dead anyway, we can just smear the blame and that's it. Besides, it's the truth, and the truth is always easier for people to accept because countless survivors will spontaneously combine their own experiences to verify it.

As for the positive news, there were only a few embellishments.

"A human named Gu Yun personally entered the game, killed the original Arrogant, then transformed into the new Arrogant and infiltrated the Heavenly Demon Clan, thwarting the Canglan Emperor's plan to bring about the destruction of all living beings, saving the people of Canglan from suffering, and finally killing almost all the original sin envoys and the culprit Wan Wujiang. The corpses of these people are still in the hands of the Canglan royal family."

"In the end, Gu Yun became a Heavenly Demon by chance. Even so, his style of doing things was completely different from the previous Heavenly Demon. He promised the outside world that he would reform the demon race and return to the harmonious situation of coexistence between humans and demons hundreds of years ago. He followed the principle of 'I will not offend others unless they offend me.' His style was recognized by the War God Temple, which even applied to the War God Temple for a temple guard to supervise the matter routinely."

...

and many more.

Through this deliberate dissemination and expansion, the human world has shown some intriguing signs in its characterization of the contemporary Heavenly Demon, unlike previous generations where the mere mention of the Heavenly Demon was filled with hostility and resulted in widespread defeat.

This is precisely one of the goals that Gu Yun wanted to achieve, even at the cost of spending more time and effort and making concessions.

Otherwise, given Gu Yun's usual temperament, she wouldn't have bothered with a little competition; she would have just started fighting.

As for other purposes...

That is to use this influence to achieve some personal desires.

Before leaving yesterday, he specifically instructed Wan Wuhui not to hide his identity, but rather to publicize it.

The Heavenly Demon is Gu Yun.

Gu Yun is the modern-day demon!

He wanted to spread this name throughout the entire Eight Realms.

He wanted to let the people of the fairy realm know that the person named Gu Yun was not a figment of their imagination.

He wanted Yunyin to know that he was coming soon.

It concerns the Heavenly Demon, or rather, the Emperor's will.

All living beings in the myriad realms will inevitably pay more attention to this, and even some of the most powerful beings in the lower realms who already possess imperial will will certainly be somewhat interested in it.

...

Some people are happy with this scene, while others are worried about it.

A star system somewhere in the human realm.

Covenant headquarters.

"Nonsense!"

"This is utter nonsense!"

An elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, dressed in a blue robe, showed no signs of his advanced age. He slammed his hand heavily on the round table in front of him, so hard that the entire table trembled.

"Who gave them that right?!"

"What right does the Temple of War have to represent the human realm? We've said long ago that the beings of the upper realm are unreliable, and sooner or later they'll cause us a huge mess."

"How dare you let the Heavenly Demon run rampant?!"

"It's one thing to let the Heavenly Demon run rampant, but to actually believe his nonsense and speak up for him!"

"Don't they know the consequences of a Heavenly Demon growing up? If they turn against us, who can stop them?!"

"If you had informed us immediately, this wouldn't have happened!"

There are eight seats at the round table. Except for one empty seat, the other seven seats are filled with seven different people.

One of the women, a strikingly beautiful woman with red hair sitting to the left of the old man, tilted her head slightly, parted her lips, and let out a soft, slightly mocking laugh.

"Giggle."

"Elder Ming, why are you so angry? How much is lost by stopping for just one day? The Heavenly Demon has only lived for one more day, and you can't even sit still?"

"If you're really that worried, transfer some of your businesses to me so I can bear the pain."

Elder Ming made no attempt to conceal the ruthlessness in his eyes as he spoke.

"Hua Qianxun, what do you mean?"

"Do you really think that just because your father, Hua Qiandao, has mastered the Eternal Silence Emperor's Will, he can speak without any restraint?"

That's your father!

"It's not you!"

"You're just a mere peak Saint Body cultivator; you're not qualified to speak to me like that!"

"My Ming family has many interests involved with the Demon Clan, but does your Hundred Flowers Sect have few?!"

Hua Qianxun's face immediately turned red, and he was furious.

"you!"

"Alright, alright, can't you two talk this out? I called you here today to discuss this matter, didn't I?"

A middle-aged man dressed in a gray-black fitted outfit stopped the two men from arguing in a somewhat stern tone.

Old Ming snorted coldly, clearly not satisfied, and said unhappily to the white-robed youth on the other side who was indifferent to the matter and even began to doze off.

"Ye Changfeng".

"Didn't your Ye family go to the Crimson Flame Star auction to bid for the Thunder Emperor's Will?"

"Why didn't we notice anything at the time? Now there are rumors that a person named Gu Yun killed the former Arrogant Envoy on Crimson Flame Star and seized the Arrogant identity."

"If you had paid more attention back then, or even dealt with that person while you were at it, none of this would have happened now."

Ye Changfeng exhaled heavily, slowly raised his head, golden arcs of electricity flashing in his eyes, and faced the white-haired old man, speaking without any emotion.

“Ming Wansheng, don’t go looking for trouble. You know perfectly well that my Ye family has never interfered in matters between humans and demons. Even during the past chaos caused by the Heavenly Demons, we only provided some assistance to the human race out of humanitarianism and never bothered to deal with the demons.”

"What reason do you have to ask about my Ye family?"

"The Ye family is here today entirely because of Uncle Yang."

"What? You want to treat me the way you treated Hua Qianxun again?"

"Come!"

"I'd like to see if your fake innate talent is truly genuine!"
