Chapter 560: Chapter 554: Earth’s Demon Nest

The last ten seconds before the first Earth Extraordinary Summit convenes.

Grass Hut Academy residential compound.

Building 2, Unit 9, Room 2801.

"...That’s about it."

Gray glanced at the time and regretfully said to Wu Di and Spear Lolita Black Tassel, "Let’s chat again when we have a chance!"

Under the joint suggestion of the literary giant Dong Huaiming and the Mediator Giles, this man, who bore the title "God", after the divine battle, took only twenty hours to finish reading a web novel with millions of words.

After finishing the book, he immediately used the anti-interference encrypted channel of the Guardian Organization to send Ma Ran a short message overnight—"I want to make every Earthling a dragon!"

Unfortunately, this Prophet and Martial God seemed to be busy with urgent matters and did not respond at all.

And Zhang Qianren, who gave Gray the feeling of being like a brother from another mother, was busy arranging the venue and personnel management for the first Extraordinary Summit, so he was also indisposed.

Therefore, Gray had no choice but to seek out the Fearless Wu Di, who had left a good impression on him during yesterday’s divine battle, at the Grass Hut Academy residential area.

He wanted to discuss and share his new philosophy with him!

Dong Huaiming and Giles had recommended many books to Gray, but he didn’t like any of them.

Except for the one he read yesterday...

The protagonist of the story is a gentleman, gentle and jade-like in demeanor, with moral integrity and excellent credibility, yet decisive in action. The character design alone made Gray fully immerse himself!

He agreed with and endorsed the protagonist’s actions and philosophy and adopted the protagonist’s ultimate goal as his own life pursuit.

That’s why he sent that somewhat juvenile and semi-literate encrypted message.

Since Ma Ran, who could resolve his doubts, was obviously unavailable, Gray directly sought out Wu Di.

After a brief discussion, with the help of Wu Di’s "sister" Black Tassel, Gray formed a simple framework in his mind.

To achieve his ultimate vision and life ideals, first, he needed to restore a peaceful and stable environment to Earth.

Even if this peace and stability were only relative.

Second, he needed to establish regulations and announce them globally, gaining acceptance and recognition worldwide.

Third, he needed a tireless, eternally just entity with supreme power and rights to monitor the globe.

Even such a rudimentary framework would be hard to complete.

Unable to pass the first step, there’s no need to discuss anything else.

Unfortunately, time was short, and Gray was in a hurry to attend a meeting, or else he would’ve stayed at Wu Di’s house to have a long talk with him.

"I’ll come to find you again after the meeting!"

With these parting words, Gray’s figure gradually faded.

Wu Di opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was slapped on the back of the head by Spear Lolita Black Tassel beside him.

"Shut up!"

"If you can’t speak properly, just say less and be a good listener!"

At this moment, God’s figure finally vanished completely.

Wu Di rubbed the back of his head, feeling a bit aggrieved.

He looked up to find his parents, still dressed in formal attire even at home, looking at him with a strange expression.

"Son, it’s not that Mom doesn’t want you to make friends at your age. This ’God’ is different; he’s indeed better than you and is almost a local emperor in America now. The Prophet, the Martial God, and those Sword Masters’ disciples don’t count, but others are not as good as you!"

Uncle Wu also nodded slightly, agreeing with Wu Ma’s words: "Your mom is right. What’s the use of making so many fair-weather friends? Can you eat them?"

Without hesitation, Wu Di responded, "Yes."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Wu and Wu Ma were stunned, their faces filled with horror.

"On Blood Mist Star, I found many red-skinned drunkards who ended up eating their friends, so..."

Bang!

Spear Lolita leapt and slapped Wu Di on the back, interrupting his speech.

"Uncle, Aunt, he didn’t mean it that way..."

...

The global first Extraordinary Summit sounds quite grand.

But other than Zhang Qianren and President Huang Weiguo, the main organizing officials bustling around, no one else seemed very tense.

Upon arriving at the venue, it felt like home.

After all, those involved in this meeting were partners in the same battle before, comrades through life and death, or at least, allies.

Even if there were some contradictions and conflicts between them, the greater good of civilization pressed them, and no one wanted to stir up trouble at this time.

Summits are international meetings involving multiple countries or multilateral international issues, attended by the highest controllers of each country, expected to reach certain consensuses or common guiding documents.

During the opening speech, Old Huang gave full respect to the leaders of each country, allowing almost every representative to say a few words.

In fact, this segment was not very informative; it was nothing more than reviewing the past, summarizing achievements over the recent half-year, and boosting the confidence of the participants.

The crucial segment lay in the four words, "looking ahead to the future".

This time, it was in the truest sense "looking ahead to the future".

In the cognition of many participants, this segment was led by Ma Ran’s Limited Foreknowledge, assisted by various superpowers like Caged Gaze and Visual Imprint, projecting certain future images for everyone to see.

Official media representatives from various countries immediately turned their cameras towards the projection screen.

This was the true meaning of "the future"!

No platitudinous declarations, no empty words, Ma Ran stepped onto the stage, his tone heavy as he said, "It’s begun."

Swish!

On the large screen, a massive mountain suspended in the dark, cold cosmos appeared.

The camera gradually zoomed in, revealing...

This mountain was carved from a magical crystal, emanating gentle and brilliant light.

And atop the mountain, a shadow of a humanoid life form appeared in everyone’s view.

The shadow’s body was formless and intangible, as if it didn’t exist at all, yet it gave off an intense sense of presence, making it impossible to look away, forcing attention onto that "piece of air".

Someone couldn’t help but ask, "Is this a transparent person? A superpower user? Why can we only see the shadow?"

"...You’ve just entered the Extraordinary Domain and lack the strength to perceive it. But I can sense a mysterious terror—if we could see the body of this shadow, we’d probably die instantly!"

"Observer, your perception ability is said to be the strongest on Earth. What’s your take?"

"I can vaguely sense... if we could see its body, even across countless star systems, even breaking through the temporal dimension, its mere gaze would ’see’ us to death."

"Stop the noise! The body of the shadow is speaking, listen quietly!"

The summit venue instantly fell silent.

A voice emerged from the image.

The speaker’s voice was neither male nor female, neither old nor young, full of mystery. The language spoken wasn’t any language on Earth, definitely not Chinese or English, yet everyone present could understand its meaning without any barrier.

"Breath, Wine, Deep, Collapse, Evil, Sui, have all been confirmed fallen, both divine format and divine soul completely annihilated, vanished into the void. What do you think?"

After a moment’s pause, the body’s shadow spoke again: "Other gods are dead, so be it, I don’t care. But Breath is different, he was a genius with notable potential, capable of reaching at least the Middle Rank God level."

Speaking as if in conversation with someone, it paused for a long while before leisurely stating: "I understand your point."

"The internal struggle in the Divine Court is a war of ideologies, not personal grudges."

"I firmly believe, as long as it resists the End of All Things and maintains the overall stability of the cosmos, any sacrifice and slaughter are worth it."

"Demons live in Purgatory, while devils reside in the human heart."

"The Demon Prison has existed for one hundred sixty thousand years, the End forces have scattered, accumulating power, developing in secret, attempting a comeback, threatening the universe’s extinction."

"Earth is merely one of the nests used by True Demons to hatch demon eggs, though insignificant and vulnerable, must still be destroyed."

"Value?"

"Earth’s value to the entire cosmos is less than its potential threat."

"I do not agree with your words. Besides True Demons, who else in this vast cosmos can penetrate your Avoidance Protection?"

"A Star Driving Level Extraordinary One... such combat power comparable to Upper Rank Gods is just a miracle of the cosmos, an anomaly. I do not think such a coincidence will occur."

"Destroying Earth Civilization, first, is to kill a chicken to warn the monkey, declaring the Divine Court’s majesty, second, to eradicate a demon nest, reducing the force of the End’s revival." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Beep!

That was the end of the footage.

The relaxed expressions on the faces of various country representatives vanished completely, leaving them speechless and adding a few more shadows of worry to their hearts.
