At this moment, all the insiders want to hang up the guy who first brought the demon aura to Earth and give him a good beating.
If it weren't for him, none of these subsequent events would have happened.
Concerning the source of the demon aura, it has almost been thoroughly investigated after a lengthy inquiry.
The source of the demon aura on Earth came from a player who was captured and taken back to Lucifer魔窟 for transformation, and who has not forcibly logged off; if he logged off, at most his body in the Magic Realm would be destroyed, resulting in real-world death.
However, not logging off led to the opening of a channel between Earth and the Magic Realm, and when Lucifer魔窟 was transforming him, demon aura traveled through the channel between the two worlds and arrived on Earth.
Thus, the source of the demons appeared on Earth.
In truth, it can't entirely be blamed on the player seized by the demon; who knew the demon didn't kill him but only knocked him out and brought him back for demonic transformation, leaving him unconscious and unable to forcibly quit the game.
It was coincidence, yet also inevitable.
In a certain sense, players to the Magic Realm, like demons, are invaders, plundering its Spiritual Qi, resources, energy...
The existence of the Seed of Demons that allows players to resurrect is thought-provoking.
Is there some unknown connection between players and demons?
Two pieces of news exploded the previously calm mindset of the player community, and Lu Yu also felt an urgency; soon it may not be as relaxed and free as it is now.
"The surging power from ice and fire still requires some time to fully grasp. I estimate it will take another two to three days; during this time, let's first head to the Magic Tower to grind experience and collect debts from Fu Mingcheng's place."
"After grinding experience, continue to seclude myself and rapidly enhance my strength to prepare for the upcoming changes."
Lu Yu also thought of the warehouse in the west of Blue Ocean City, where a Lucifer魔窟 is about to form. Surely, experts of the Qi Sea realm will come to guard, maybe even stronger ones, making his power seem somewhat insignificant and unable to cope with any situation that might arise.
Even though there are others at the forefront taking on the impending doom, Lu Yu wants that person at the forefront to be himself.
This is not out of a sense of responsibility; he simply does not wish his fate to be controlled by others.
Lu Yu returned to the game, entered the Magic Tower, and sped up his mastery over his surging power through battles, while grinding experience on the side.
On the distant Pacific high seas, a lonely nuclear-powered carrier floated on the surface, surrounded by escort ships that had already disappeared. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
A lot of people stood on the platform of the nuclear-powered carrier, and if Lu Yu were here, he would recognize two very familiar people among the crowd — Su Peng and Jing Yang.
The disappearance of the Eagle Alliance's nuclear-powered carrier pertains to the methods of their family, beneath this ocean a large Lucifer魔窟 is forming, which most likely harbors a Seed of Demons.
The Seed of Demons from the Magic Realm allows resurrection in the Magic Realm; whether the Seed of Demons in reality has such an effect is unknown to everyone, but it doesn't stop them from wanting to acquire it.
The Seed of Demons birthed by the Lucifer魔窟 in Wanxiong City was suspected to have been destroyed or vanished due to the Eagle Alliance's nuclear strike; the hidden family did not acquire that Seed of Demons.
For the Seed of Demons on the seabed this time, they hope it doesn't get unintentionally lost, so they've sealed this area in advance using an Array. Unluckily, they've encountered the Eagle Alliance's nuclear-powered carrier.
The disappearance of the nuclear-powered carrier on the high seas caused massive upheaval in various countries, especially since the carrier was equipped with several nuclear bombs.
This forced the sea area sealed by the hidden family into the spotlight of various nations' high officials, much to the hidden family's helplessness.
The hidden family has their own rules; they do not appear in the vision of various countries, and in history, they are only occasionally mentioned in wild tales, seen as mere legends.
In modern times, members of the hidden family are in top-tier positions in the governments of various countries, or rather, they have always been a presence in the power struggles at the top political levels.
"We've already thrown out the message about the oceanic demons becoming a threat; short term, they should focus their attention on handling the oceanic demon problem."
"Still not enough, leak the message about Lucifer secretly establishing a Lucifer魔窟 on the Eagle Alliance's west coast. Anyway, the Lucifer魔窟 it builds can't produce a Seed of Demons, so destroying it won't hurt. However, I suspect that Wanxiong City's Seed of Demons is in Lucifer's possession."
"Aren't their top officials interested in researching that small Lucifer魔窟 in Blue Ocean City? Find a way to make that Lucifer魔窟 form ahead of time."
