The Wasteland Star Region.

“The Moka Star has been destroyed!!!”

“The Purple Orchid Company’s base in the Wasteland Star region has been thoroughly devastated…”

The destructive circumstances of Moka Star have inevitably spread.

Everyone was unsure of what had happened. As voices rose on the internet, all forces began to brace themselves, quietly waiting for investigations from the other three tri-tier forces.

Outside Moka Star, the Cosmic Civilization Protection Association, the Purple Orchid Space Bank, and the Earth Alliance – representatives from these three tri-tier powers have all arrived.

Such a significant event brought with it their most powerful members.

Hu Xiang arrived representing the Cosmic Civilization Protection Association.

Although a hundred years had passed, his appearance hadn’t changed much. Beside him was Wei Yan, the president of the Purple Orchid Space Bank, and then there was Chu Zixuan, representing the Earth Alliance.

The three of them frowned at the sight of the several- thousand -kilometer-long fissure on Moka Star.

“What on earth happened here?”

“Could it have been a planetary collision? That couldn’t be the case, right? If another planet had run into Moka Star, the Purple Orchid Company’s employees should have noticed in advance!”

“Yet it’s impossible for a mere meteorite or comet to create this magnitude of impact either.”

Suddenly, Hu Xiang spoke up: “Wait, what’s that over there?”

With this, he pointed towards a section of inner planetary land.

The other two followed his gaze immediately.

The expression on Chu Zixuan’s face worsened as time passed. As he looked, he sent out a mental scan.

It seemed to be a giant footprint, one that was several kilometers long. Besides Du Gang, he couldn’t think of anyone else capable of leaving such a mark.

Wei Yan exclaimed in surprise, “Is that the footprint of a giant?!!”

After he said that, both he and Hu Xiang turned to look at Chu Zixuan, and said simultaneously: “Has Du Gang come out of seclusion?”

Under their gaze, Chu Zixuan paused, before nodding and confirming, “Yes, he’s out.”

After deliberating for a moment, Hu Xiang said, “This is the territory of the Purple Orchid Company. Their newest leader in the Wasteland Star region is named Tuoba Yu, a descendant from the Tuoba family – comet-level… ” “Tuoba Yu, he has a grudge against you, doesn’t he, Chu Zixuan?”

His eyes narrowed as he watched Chu Zixuan, continuing, “If I recall, Tuoba Yu formed a Human Rights Union, seemingly targeting you, Chu Zixuan, and your Earth Alliance…”

“After Du Gang wakes, did you ask him to come here and destroy them?”

On the other side, Wei Yan was also looking at Chu Zixuan in surprise, waiting for his response.

Given the wreckage and the thorough destruction of the stars, Chu Zixuan wanted to deny it, but the evidence was there.

In a low voice, he said, “Du Gang did come out of seclusion. I did indeed send him to the Human Rights Union… ”

“However, before he departed, he promised me that he was just going to scare the other powers and make them back down. He pledged that he was not going to kill anyone!”

Listening to Chu Zixuan’s words, Hu Xiang and Wei Yan fell silent

Du Gang’s, power had grown even more formidable!

At this moment, they didn’t know just how strong he had become, but they knew that all life on Moka Star had been eradicated.

A satellite-level power, perhaps?

Hu Xiang and Wei Yan exchanged a glance, then spoke, “If it truly was him who did this, then your Earth Alliance must be mindful. His actions are bound to antagonise the Purple Orchid Empire. We still don’t know if Tuoba Yu is dead or alive, but the Tuoba family will inevitably come here…”

Wei Yan asked, “Has Du Gang returned to the Earth Alliance?”

Chu Zixuan shook his head, “He mentioned that once he had dealt with things here, he would directly go to the Purple Orchid Star region.”

“Let’s wait and see. The tech team is already working on restoring the satellite’s footage…”

Before he could finish, someone arrived to report, “The footage from the Moka Star has been restored. You should all come see…’

Quickly, all three of them headed to the largest spaceship.

At the moment, a bunch of technicians were gathered around the big screen, saying, “What we’ve found, apart from some ground surveillance, is the monitoring equipment in the satellite base…”

With that, they began to play the footage.

Chu Zixuan held up a hand, halting the words of the abundant workers, and everyone began to watch quietly.

The first video was shot from within the planet and displayed the Human Rights Union’s base on Moka Star.

A few seconds hadn’t even passed when suddenly a giant foot appeared on the screen.

Chu Zixuan and the others shared a look. As they sighed internally, surprised to see that all this had genuinely been done by Du Gang.

The first video quickly ended.

The second video provided a farther viewpoint, allowing them to see the giant’s entire figure.

Indeed, it turned out to be Du Gang!

“Isn’t there sound?”

“Audio recovery is quite strenuous, they’re still working on it…”

“Alright!”

Chu Zixuan felt somewhat dismayed. He hadn’t expected that one hundred years later, Du Gang would have changed.

Could it be that because he had accepted the heritage of a giant, his personality had drastically changed, and he no longer cared about humans living or dying?

While he was deep in thought, the video abruptly changed again.

A massive net suddenly appeared, and the moment it showed on screen, it started to cover Du Gang.

“What’s that?!”

In the surprised exclamations of everyone, several exceptionally large spaceships appeared.

Seeing the leading spaceship that was ten thousand meters long, Chu Zixuan said in shock, “A ship of this class…”

Hu Xiang had also recognised it at this moment and said solemnly, “That’s a five-star E class spaceship, ten thousand meters long. There aren’t any ships of this kind in our Wasteland Star region…”

“Even in the Purple Orchid Star region, not many people have this kind of spaceship! ”

“The Purple Orchid Royal Family definitely has one, then there are the four Duke families. Only they possess such class of spaceships…”

Wei Yan nodded and said, “The insignia on the spaceship indicates it belongs to the Purple Orchid Company. It’s the Tuoba family’s spaceship!”

He didn’t finish his sentence because in the video, Du Gang had already taken off.

“Does he intend to escape?

What surprised everyone next was that the net actually withstood Du Gang’s impact, and not only that, it pulled back the giant who was about to fly out of Moka Star.

“This…”

At this moment, let alone Chu Zixuan, even Hu Xiang and Wei Yan were shocked.

Chu Zixuan frowned and asked, “Does this type of net exist in your Purple Orchid star field?”

The two men looked at each other, pursed their lips and shook their heads simultaneously.

“As for a net of this level, let alone having one, I haven’t even heard of it!”

“Yes, although I’ve hidden away from power disputes and taken refuge in the Wasteland star field, I still have sources of information about the Purple Orchid star field. If something of this level were to appear, it would be impossible for me not to know about it!”

What happened next was the appearance of a new video image.

This time, it was a satellite base filming from a tilted angle.

At this instant, even in outer space, the video could still clearly capture Du Gang’s giant body.

Just as everyone was speculating who Du Gang was fighting against, Du Gang’s Spear of the Ancient God suddenly appeared.

“That’s his weapon!”

Three people recognized instantly that this was Du Gang’s weapon. The next second, the Spear of the Ancient God began to grow.

“This…

The growth was rapid, and people were so astonished that they couldn’t even be bothered to close their mouths. They saw in the video that the Spear of the Ancient God had instantly pierced the atmosphere, and continued to grow into space.

Then, when the Spear of the Ancient God grew to more than a hundred kilometers high, they saw it falling towards the interior of the planet.

The sight at that moment was so shocking that the three of them could not utter a word.

Just as the three of them were tensely watching the video, trying to see the reaction provoked by the collision of this ancient god-like pillar against the planet, the video suddenly went dark.

“What?” “It’s over?!”

“What happened?! ”

The three of them shouted at the same time. It felt as if something was about to appear, but then it suddenly went limp….

All that hard work, and then nothing at the last moment!

The technician quickly reported, “This is all the video footage we could find in the remaining parts…”

Chu Zixuan frowned, “If the Tuoba family had set off, there should have been some kind of movement, right? The Purple Orchid star field should at least have some information?!”

After hearing this, Hu Xiang nodded, “Let’s go to my place. I can contact people from the Purple Orchid star field association there…”

Wei Yan shook his head, “Let’s go to my place instead. I have a long-distance signal receiver there. It can directly log into the Purple Orchid star field’s network…”

“Damn, you actually have that kind of thing?”

Hu Xiang looked at him in surprise.

The reason why the Purple Orchid star field and the Wasteland star field do not share a network is because the distance between them is too great, and the cost of building an interstellar network is too high.

A long-distance signal receiver like the one Wei Yan has is more expensive than setting up a normal network base station. It’s a luxury item and not something the average person can afford.

Wei Yan shrugged and said lightly, “Although I don’t want to fight with my brothers for the dukedom, that doesn’t mean I won’t keep in touch with my family…”

Soon, the three of them arrived at Wei Yan’s residence.

He was not secretive at all and quickly found the device needed to enter the Purple Orchid star field’s network.

As soon as it was connected, a large number of messages came through.

“It’s the people I’ve placed in Purple Orchid to report major events for me…” At this moment, his device was continuously beeping with notifications.

The three of them looked at each other. Chu Zixuan asked, “Do your subordinates usually send you messages like this?”

Wei Yan shook his head, “No, messages of this nature usually mean that something major has happened in the Purple Orchid star field!”

Soon, he quickly opened the messages, and immediately a series of shocking reports came through.

“According to a spy we have planted in the Tuoba family’s Star Tanha, Star Tanha was attacked…

“All spies lost contact at the same time. We tried to breach Star Tanha’s network with connection equipment but failed… This means that Star Tanha was broken and all creatures on it died…”

“The Tuoba star system’s Meigu Star has also been attacked. According to the spy report, a gigantic spear from outer space hit the planet. The planet will be destroyed…”

“A minute after we received the news, we also tried to breach Meigu Star’s network, but received no response… Meigu Star is also gone…”

Thus, under the stunned eyes of the three, Wei Yan scrolled to the last message.

“Tuoba Star has suffered a similar attack, but our spy managed to capture an image!”

Next was a photo, showing a giant tens of thousands of meters tall, charging towards a semi-circular wall composed of thousands of spacecraft…

“These thousands of spacecraft were almost entirely annihilated, with only a few surviving…”

Seeing this, Wei Yan immediately typed a message, clacking away on the keyboard, reporting back that the giant was from the Wasteland star field.

At the same time, he also sent the news about seeing Tuoba Hong’s vehicle on Moka Star.

Seeing his movements, the other two didn’t say anything but turned and walked away directly.

After going out, they quickly boarded their spacecraft and jumped back to their respective bases.

It’s clear they were also going to get in touch with their people in the Purple Orchid star field.

When Chu Zixuan returned to the Earth Alliance, he first communicated with his father-in-law, Marquis Merlin, about the situation and asked him to help keep an eye on Du Gang’s movements.

After ending the call, he immediately initiated the Species Continuation Plan.

The Earth Civilization Species Continuation Plan, to prevent Earth Civilization from being completely destroyed by others.

As a result, many of the Purple Level warriors were individually integrated into other civilizations, regardless of rank or status. They even sent people to infiltrate star thief gangs.

The purpose of this was to prevent Earth from being destroyed, leading to the extinction of Earth’s people.

The Purple Orchid star field, also known as the Purple Orchid Principality.

Dominating a range of over three hundred light-years, containing over a thousand galaxies, boasting tens of thousands of human-inhabited planets, and governing a population of over a trillion citizens.

The network they had, called the Purple Orchid Star Field Network, was a local network that covered the entire star field.

On this day, the Purple Orchid Star Field Network was suddenly boiling with an unexpected news item.

“The Tuoba Star System has been attacked!”

“Star Tanha has fallen, all life on the planet has been extinguished…”

“The Meigu Star has fallen…”

Everyone was shocked by this, regardless of their power, including the royal family where the ruler originated from, even they were alarmed.

“This is the lair of the Tuoba family, one of the four grand ducal families of the

Purple Orchid Duchy, has it really been broken through?!” “Who exactly made this move?”

“Could it be the Wei family? Or did the ruler do it?!”

At this moment, the other three grand ducal forces, all felt insecure, and activated their first-level alarm system.

At the same time, they announced they had nothing to do with this.

Upon their statement, all eyes were gathered on the royal family.

To them, those bold enough to do such a thing, aside from the other three grand ducal forces, could only be the almost insane ruler, Zilan Norton.

Besides, the ruler Norton’s lifespan was nearing its end, his days limited, so his involvement in this wasn’t entirely unlikely.

Luckily, although ruler Norton was mad, his subordinates weren’t fools and quickly came forward declaring this incident had nothing to do with the ruler when public opinion was leaning against the Purple Orchid Royal Family.

Simultaneously, the Purple Orchid Royal Family established a dedicated investigation team to go to the Tuoba Star System to assess the situation.

At last, during the turmoil in the entire Purple Orchid Star Field, a more sensational piece of news was released. “The Tuoba Star has been destroyed!”

This news dropped, shaking all under heaven!

Everyone thought that the other planets had merely been broken through, not destroyed.

But Tuoba Star was different, it was the stronghold of the Tuoba family, the location with the strongest defenses.

Also, it was the Tuoba family’s last fortress. If it had been broken through, it meant their enemies were extremely powerful and could break through most of the planets in the Purple Orchid Star Field!

“Did the Tuoba family perish?”

“Yes, Tuoba Star has been destroyed. Is there anyone from their family still alive?”

In the midst of the discussion across the entire Purple Orchid Star Field, Tuoba Hong had no choice but to issue a statement.

“The incident began with a giant from the Wasteland Star Field…”

“My son, Tuoba Yu, and the Earth Alliance leader, Chu Zixuan, have been arch-enemies for decades…

“Eventually, my son became a Comet-level individual and went to sit in the Wasteland Star Field…”

“Who would have guessed that Chu Zixuan would send their planet’s giant to attack…

Field, was destroyed by the giant…”

“Hundreds of millions of people have died, and all life on the planet has been extinguished…”

“He has done so much and yet he won’t stop, he even came to my Tuoba Star System…”

“This is a heartless, ruthless, crazed monster!”

“I implore all the righteous men of the Purple Orchid Star Field to join my Tuoba family in forming an alliance to condemn this monster!” “Who knows, could my Tuoba Star’s today be your tomorrow?!”

This statement set off a tremor throughout the world.

In no time, many of the young and vigorous generation quickly voiced their stand.

“This monster is too hateful, I, Ye Liangchen, must certainly intervene…”

“Exactly, this alien creature needs to be killed, or else there will be no peace in our Purple Orchid Star Field!”

Public opinion in the entire Purple Orchid Star Field took a sudden shift.

When every power began to discuss whether to send battleships to join the Tuoba family’s Monster-fighting Alliance, a video suddenly went viral on the net.

In the image, a giant stood still, suddenly, a gigantic net fell from the sky, casting a shadow over it, trapping the giant within.

Then, five extraordinarily large spaceships appeared – one of them was ten thousand meters long. On further examination, the emblem on the ship was clearly recognized by everyone, it was the battleship of the Tuoba family!

The video was short and ended there, but at the end of the video, a piece of text was added.

“No trade, no harm!”

This snippet was sent by Chu Zixuan to Marquis Merlin to be released.

Arriving back at the Earth Alliance, Chu Zixuan felt something was not quite right.

Looking back at his past years, he suddenly realized.

Upon deeper analysis, he found that he may have become a mere pawn in someone else’s game.

Du Gang himself didn’t even know what the Human Rights Alliance was and had no intersection with the Purple Orchid Trade Association. Logically, he would never set foot on Moka Star.

But because of Chu Zixuan himself, Du Gang ended up going to Moka Star!

However, even if this was the case, there wouldn’t be a problem.

The real issue was that Moka Star had long been rigged with a trap. The people of the Tuoba family, along with Du Gang, had already waited there. Their target didn’t seem to be anybody else, but the giant, Du Gang.

Thinking about it this way, how could he not understand? He had been set up. The Tuoba family had used his relationship with Du Gang to lure him into the trap.

“Sigh, I underestimated the people of the world!”

Chu Zixuan sighed.

He had been too smooth in recent years, thinking that his intelligence and strategy could at least see through all conspiracies, if not be the best in the world.

The fact proved that none of these long-surviving families were simple!

“Is this a hundred-year plan?”

Chu Zixuan had to admit, these families, which had existed for tens to hundreds of millions of years, had taught him a lesson.

Prior to this, he had never thought that someone would spend decades or even a hundred years setting up such a trap.

After careful analysis, he sighed and said, “Shadow, go to the Shadowless

Bureau and ask them to send someone to Watchman City, there is a rat among

the Well Explorers!”

At this stage, if he was unaware of the possible enemy infiltrators within his ranks, that would make him utterly foolish.

Suddenly, a shadow split from beneath his feet and disappeared instantly.

This was the former Shadow King who switched from visible to invisible, becoming Chu Zixuan’s shadow.

He had even concealed this from Du Gang; the Earth Alliance actually had not two, but three meteorite-level individuals!

The Shadow King was the third meteorite-level figure!

“It seems that decades ago, some of those who chose me to assume the leadership position were also problematic…”

He had initially thought it was too smooth, being elected as the leader through overwhelming votes.

But he had attributed it to his relationship with Du Gang, and the fact that his wife hailed from the Marquis Merlin family of the Purple Orchid Kingdom.

These factors led the elders to cast their votes for him.

It seems that a purge of the higher-ups is now necessary…

The moment the video titled “Without trade, there would be no harm!” was posted, there was an uproar across the web.

Everyone online was shocked.

Just a while ago, everyone was condemning the Giants one-sidedly.

And then, the truth was revealed.

“So it turns out that the Tuoba family captured a giant, which provoked them to retaliate?!!”

“Hmm, the Tuoba family sure has a crafty plan, making us clean up the mess they made themselves!”

“Exactly, we were even considering lending the Tuoba family a hand, thinking they had suffered a great loss…” freewebnove(l).com

“I spit, they got what they deserved!”

At that moment, everyone felt like their intelligence had been dragged through the mud as they felt ashamed of the hasty decisions they had previously made.

The next thing that came was, naturally, anger out of embarrassment.

Consequently, internet users started venting their frustration. Their earlier unanimous condemnation of the Giants was now replaced by unanimous criticism of the disgraceful Tuoba family.

Moreover, when both the Cosmic Civilization Protection Association and the Purple Orchid Spacial Bank issued a joint statement that “the Giant is the leader of a third-level civilization from the Wasteland Star Zone” everyone who was still on the fence, afraid of the Giant losing his sanity, could no longer stay quiet.

If the Giant is sentient, then it is a person, and this incident is nothing to do with a monster attacking people, or an alien race assaulting mankind.

This also proves that the Tuoba family is utterly shameless!

They distorted the truth to manipulate people to work for them. How could the majority of internet users accept this?

“Come on!”

For a moment, the entire Purple Orchid Star Zone internet was filled with discussions criticizing the Tuoba family.

Eve more so, many other families were fanning the flames behind the scenes.

The grudge between the Tuoba family and the Giants doesn’t concern them.

For them, they would direct public opinion in whichever way benefits them the most.

The Tuoba family, commanding about twenty percent of the whole Purple Orchid Star Zone’s trade, was indeed a behemoth.

If they fall, a large market share would be freed up, enough for all families to take a piece of the pie.

The Giants, however, were just people from the Wasteland Star Zone. In the Purple Orchid Star Zone, they had no power or influence. Even if they won, they would ultimately just return to their own Wasteland Star Zone, which would not impact everyone else.

Therefore, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, any power that wanted to carve out a piece of the Tuoba family’s interest started to voice their opinions openly!

At the same time, they hired a large number of internet trolls to steer public opinion and attack the Tuoba family.

What’s right and wrong doesn’t concern them.

In the world of adults, there are only interests!

In an instant, the already controversial Tuoba family fell even further from grace, becoming a deranged family.

Because on the internet, professional instigators had begun to post content that was a mix of truth and fiction.

For example, the Wasteland Giant, who originally lived happily with his family in the Wasteland Star Zone. But then the Tuoba family came along. They brutally murdered the Giant’s elderly mother, raped the Giant’s wife, killed the Giant’s children, and eventually the Giant fled, resulting in the destruction and retribution of Tuoba Xing.

“Raping the Giant’s wife? Wow, what a good one, just unbelievable!”

“What nonsense, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”

“You might have thought too highly of him…”

The instigators knew there were flaws in the article, but it was intentional.

Only in this way could the rate of spread be accelerated and become popular.

As expected, as soon as various media outlets saw this, their eyes lit up. Like sharks smelling blood, they all swarmed in, copied and pasted, changed the title, declared it original, processed it, and then posted it again.

“Shocking: The returning War God finds his wife has been XX…”

The most speechless part was that these self-media operators indeed took flights and ran to the Earth: the Giants’ old home.

Then, after some inquiries, they learned from the simple Earth natives that the Giant’s title really was the War God!

All these coincidences mixed together, all these elements put together.

It was over, the ‘Return of the War God’ series was completely viral!

Self-media creators had long summarized a theory for virality. [If it can stir up people’s emotions and desires, it can go viral]

[Viral means traffic, traffic represents money]

They took advantage of the inherent human weaknesses of vanity, jealousy, wrath, sloth, greed, lust, and pride to achieve virality.

The human weakness of pride: ridiculous funny videos, such as Master Ma, easily go viral because watching these foolish videos lets you feel smarter, nobler, and that even celebrities are willing to lower themselves for our entertainment.

For example, using people’s wrath: against social injustices, like privileged officials oppressing commoners, will stir up public anger. Punishing them at this time would make positive-energy videos go viral overnight.

The plot design of ‘Return of the War God’ perfectly fits into the human weaknesses in the minds of the instigators. Thus, it becoming viral is a totally normal phenomenon.

However, while lots of forces were condemning the Tuoba family, they were only attacking them online. As for getting involved, no way!

As for this situation, Tuoba Hong was already too exhausted to struggle. Even if he wanted to send internet trolls, it was already impossible. He couldn’t suppress it anymore. This had already grown into a national frenzy. So, he could only grit his teeth and keep chasing in the direction where Du Gang was fleeing.

Regardless of everything else, for him, capturing Du Gang and killing hi

would settle all me problems.

Regardless of how fierce the public opinion grew, as long as he remained alive, the Tuoba family would not perish!
