204: One stone stirs up a thousand waves
With Chen Ming's consent, Zhao Qian and the others were very happy to let the whole world know how formidable Chen Ming's strength was!
The clearer they were about this, the more they had to seriously consider the consequences of rashly invading Great Xia, which would incur Chen Ming's displeasure.
It would be no less than divine punishment!
Hopefully, they can give this some serious thought and not act on impulse.
In the eyes of Zhao Qian and his group, Chen Ming is undoubtedly the absolute power, the strong support, capable of sheltering the entire Great Xia, providing time for stable development, and restoring order!
Clinging to a strong support is not shameful in itself; it's better than having none to cling to.
Outside of Great Xia, according to Zhao Qian's knowledge, there were quite a few people who wanted to cling to Chen Ming's strong support and racked their brains to invite him to their own countries.
During this period, the number of people who had snuck into Great Xia had been increasing. Most came because of his reputation, seeking Chen Ming's protection.
Another portion, however, were found to be top agents from various countries, exceeding thirteen nations.
Their purpose in coming to Great Xia was self-evident. The reason they didn't bother with them was simply because they had more important things to attend to and no time to waste on such people. They were directly expelled from the country, their life and death left to fate.
Although they knew well that the sweet talk and empty promises from foreign forces were less than dregs to Chen Ming.
However, if possible, Zhao Qian and the others did not want these people to have too much contact with Chen Ming.
Even if there was a 0.01% possibility, it had to be cut off.
Secondly, they were worried that foreign agents frequently seeking out Chen Ming would cause his displeasure, exhaust his patience, and make him think that the Great Xia side was incompetent, unable to even stop a few agents.
On matters concerning Chen Ming, everyone dared not be careless in the slightest.
Soon, the video of a million Undead and the Undead Blood Knight powerfully suppressing and instantly killing the S-Class Secret Realm Dungeon boss with a single sword strike was uploaded to the forum via Yang TV's official account.
Then, it was reposted by official accounts certified with large blue 'V's to expand its influence and increase its spread speed.
This move was highly effective. In less than ten minutes, related hot searches could already be seen in the top ten trending topics on the forum.
The play count increased by tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and there were quite a few who watched it repeatedly.
The comment section was even more lively.
【Art! I call this the unique art of the doomsday era! I've watched it seven or eight times and simply can't stop. It's too strong! I keep getting goosebumps!】
【As a personal force, being able to make an official organization like the Star Alliance, even commander-level figures, hold a press conference to express gratitude, can be considered the peak of life.】
【Personal... Although that's not wrong to say, raising a million Undead so casually, does that count as a... personal force?】
【So shocking! When that sword strike fell, I felt like even the heavens and earth were going to be cleaved by him!】
【No explanation needed, the one true god! The only one! Unprecedented, and no one will come after!!】
【Before, if you said that, I would definitely give examples to refute, but now, it's true, I personally admit that you are right!】
【That's the boss of an S-Class Secret Realm Dungeon, bloodbath? Instant kill? Are you sure there's no mistake??】
【No! Just one last billion views. Watching too many videos like this makes it easy to get overconfident.】
【You guys say, is it possible he's from our Sakura Country? Just happened to be traveling in your Great Xia?】
【Get lost! I'd say he's from our South Korea. Who agrees, who opposes?】
【Both of you get lost!!】
...
The video was quickly moved to foreign websites, although some foreigners had already mastered the method of accessing Great Xia's internet.
However, because they didn't understand the Great Xia language, operation-wise, it couldn't be called smooth, causing many inconveniences.
The vast majority of people still waited for the latest shares on their own forums.
As it was a global website with many users, even if the officials intentionally controlled the flow, the playback data spread from one to ten, and ten to a hundred, still increasing rapidly.
Comments sections expressed various opinions.
【Is this video really not made with special effects? Or is Great Xia deliberately misreporting the dungeon level? Hyping up this person? The boss of an S-Rank dungeon, I really can't believe it would be instantly killed by a human.】
【This guy is so strong he doesn't seem human. Why is my fishing different from his?】
【He, no, they are just someone's puppets? Are you kidding me?】
【Our Eagle Faction also needs such a powerful Hunter!】
【You should put more effort into the suffering people in Salt Lake City. Focusing on a foreigner cannot bring good to this world!!】
【This sword strike, I like it. I want to clip this video and make it into a dynamic wallpaper.】
【Please share!】
【The strength of one person can rival an entire country! This kind of person is more terrifying than monsters, and more worthy of vigilance.】
...
Compared to Great Xia, the voices on foreign networks were more chaotic, covering various aspects.
To put it simply, some people worshipped Chen Ming, some feared Chen Ming, and some didn't know what kind of emotion to use to view his existence.
It was beyond the scope of understanding.
There were even radical factions suggesting that the strength of all nations be united to prioritize the Crusade (punishment/crusade) of Chen Ming, this great demon king, to prevent him from bringing losses to the world far exceeding those caused by various monsters.
They believed that compared to the strength he displayed, monsters became insignificant.
More importantly, not much time had passed since the apocalypse descended, yet he had already mastered such terrifying, unimaginable power.
Everyone couldn't predict how strong Chen Ming would become in half a year, a year, five years, ten years...
What if his power went out of control?
For such suggestions, the like-to-dislike ratio was exaggerated, with those who believed they should not provoke the Undead Monarch winning out in overwhelming numbers.
There were quite a few people cautioning the radical factions not to court death, believing that doing so would bring no benefit to the future of humanity, only adding fuel to the fire and making things worse...
That night, the whole world was hotly discussing matters concerning the Undead Monarch.
However, Chen Ming, the Undead Monarch himself, was immersed in a sweet dream, his expression peaceful.
The floating island, plus the vertical machine gun turrets all over the mountains, and most importantly, the Empress Guard, gave him the confidence to put aside all worries and enjoy his sleep time in peace.
The next day.
The sunlight dispelled the cold and darkness, shining on Chen Ming's face through the gap in the curtains.
He raised his hand to shield his face and slowly sat up.
Lowering his arm, he was still a bit sleepy-eyed.
Fortunately, the overall sleep quality was good.
He put on his clothes and went downstairs to the first floor.
He grabbed a cup of water and tilted his head back, gulping it down.
Perhaps because he hadn't drunk water for too long, the sweetness was noticeable.
Then he walked into the bathroom, opened the toilet lid, and sat down.
He casually opened the forum, wanting to see what new things had happened under the sun overnight.
As expected, everything was related to the Crazed Rat Disaster dungeon.
Chen Ming was indifferent to the video being exposed.
The effect in the comment section was exactly what he wanted: everyone was respecting him, fearing him...
No one wanted to, or dared to, come find trouble with him.
There were quite a few voices of recruitment. The Eagle Faction officials even stated openly in front of major media outlets that they wanted to invite Chen Ming to join the Eagle Faction and become the only Hunter to enjoy national-level power.
As long as it was his request, the Eagle Faction would satisfy it to the best of their ability!
Immediately, this stirred up a thousand waves, causing a considerable stir and heat on the internet.
