After hearing Gongsun Rou's words, Fan Cheng pondered for a moment and nodded.
Casualties were inevitable during the trials of cultivators. Even if they weren't undergoing trials on Earth, cultivators died for various reasons every day in the Great Wilderness.
"Since that's the case, we'll leave it for now," Fan Cheng said.
Bai Zhan, however, was full of enthusiasm and asked with great interest, "How about I go scout the situation?"
"No!" Gongsun Rou said with a stern expression, "If it's truly the work of that old saint, you'll be walking into your death."
Bai Zhan might dare to retort to others, but when it came to Gongsun Rou, he could only offer a sheepish smile and remain silent.
Chen Dahai said solemnly, "Should we inform His Majesty? Doing nothing is not an option. After all, they are cultivators from our Great Wilderness. If they disappear without a trace, we at least need to find out the reason."
Fan Cheng nodded in agreement, "If it is indeed the old saint's doing, then informing His Majesty in advance will also allow His Majesty to prepare."
Gongsun Rou slowly nodded, "Alright, then let someone immediately take the news back to the Great Wilderness and report it to His Majesty!"
She waved her hand and summoned a subordinate, who wrote a jade slip. She then instructed the subordinate to take it back to the imperial capital of Da Gan and present it to His Majesty.
However, not long after the subordinate departed, cultivators who had newly entered Earth for trials brought news that His Majesty had left the imperial capital and his whereabouts were currently unknown.
When the news reached Gongsun Rou and the others, their expressions immediately turned grave.
Fan Cheng frowned, "His Majesty isn't in the palace, where could he have gone?"
At this moment, not being able to find His Majesty was truly exasperating.
Gongsun Rou's eyes held a hint of melancholy. She knew that as long as she wasn't in the imperial capital, His Majesty was essentially unrestrained, free to go wherever he pleased, and would often disappear.
However, she wouldn't blame His Majesty. His Majesty was the Emperor, and where in the world could he not go?
"Could His Majesty have also entered Earth?" Bai Zhan suddenly speculated.
Gongsun Rou thought about it carefully and felt it was highly possible. "It's very likely. There are no longer any threats in the Great Wilderness, and the Four Regions have been fully explored with no new interesting territories. His Majesty leaving the imperial capital most likely means he has come to Earth."
"Since His Majesty has entered Earth, then the events happening in Africa should be known soon," Fan Cheng said.
Agula worriedly added, "If it's truly that demonic old saint at work, and His Majesty were to fight him, who would be stronger?"
"His Majesty, of course!" Gongsun Rou blurted out without hesitation.
"That's right, His Majesty is definitely stronger! What kind of bullshit old saint is that? Didn't His Majesty just blow up an old saint a while ago?" Bai Zhan said boastfully, showing no regard for the old saints on Earth.
He believed that if they were all hiding in fear, how powerful could these old saints truly be?
True powerhouses should be as reckless as him! See something they didn't agree with, and just go for it! That's what a strong person is!
Fan Cheng and Chen Dahai also had great confidence in His Majesty, though some worry remained.
After all, they had seen the video of the blood demon being bombed by a nuclear missile, and it was indeed incredibly powerful.
An hour later, explosive news came from Africa, once again igniting the internet!
It was another report from the Earth Times, and the news was exceptionally bloody, detailing the massacre of a small African town with tens of thousands of inhabitants!
The way the townspeople died was identical to the people of that small country – their blood had been drained, leaving only skin and bones!
At the same time, the missing cultivators from the Great Wilderness also had their whereabouts revealed. Bodies were found, also drained of blood, leaving behind desiccated corpses lying silently on the ground.
The African Wildlife Conservation Association issued a statement claiming that all wild animals in a certain tropical rainforest in Africa had died, their bodies piled up in a section of the rainforest, a mountain of corpses and a forest of bones, a scene of extreme brutality!
Various photos and videos were taken and uploaded online, causing those who saw such news to gasp in disbelief!
It was truly that demon!
He hadn't died, had recovered, and was now beginning his revenge on Earth! This time, he wasn't even sparing cultivators from the Great Wilderness!
"My heavens! Is the apocalypse upon us? The wrath and revenge of a god, how can we ordinary people bear it?"
"Where is that demon now? Aren't the countries launching nuclear weapons? If one bomb didn't kill him, then detonate more!"
"He can't be found at all. The last time was just an accident. Now this evil god is on guard, and you can't hit him with a bomb! He can easily dodge it!"
"Hiss! The revenge of a god... so we can only watch helplessly as the demon slaughters, with no way to stop him? Are we just waiting to die?"
"That's indeed the case. Current technological means are simply incapable of dealing with a god-level being."
"Damn it, I'm only in my twenties and don't want to die like this. Can I defect? I'll be a slave to the gods, as long as they spare my life!"
"Heh, thinking of defecting before the danger even arrives? I wouldn't even want a useless person like you as my slave. Even if the evil god is a demon, he wouldn't look down on you! Disgusting creature, blocked, get lost! Traitor!"
"An ant even strives to survive, is it wrong for me to just want to live? Working for capital is still working, and working for an evil god is also working. Why do you call me a traitor? You're personally attacking me, you must apologize immediately!"
"Useless trash, get lost! If the evil god lets you live today, you'll betray all of humanity. Tomorrow, if other gods let you live, you'll betray the evil god too. A refined egoist, what else is he if not trash?"
"Surrender to the evil god? He kills millions without batting an eye, would he care about a nobody? Don't be ridiculous. I think it's better to just restart the world and plow the African continent with nuclear bombs. I don't believe that evil god can't be killed!"
African netizens: "Are you f***ing polite? My f***ing mother!"
"Are you governing from your keyboard? Instead of spewing nonsense online, it's better to quietly wait for the country to act. You all act like you know more than the government."
"Stop talking nonsense, that's a god! What can Earth's current technology do against him? Why aren't you quickly inviting the Emperor of Da Gan from the Great Wilderness!"
"......"
The internet was in an uproar. The news of the evil god's reappearance undoubtedly caused global panic!
Especially netizens in Africa, who were filled with fear, each one afraid that their country would be the next to be massacred.
Countries around the world immediately held online discussions, their atmosphere extremely somber.
High-level officials from various countries deliberated many times but found no good solutions.
They couldn't possibly just plow the African continent with nuclear weapons; that was simply unrealistic.
High-ranking officials from England hesitated for a moment, then said, "China is an ally of Da Gan, why not have China invite the Emperor of the Great Wilderness to take action?"
