Chapter 1626: Waking Up

“It seems that Shen Yuanbao really doesn’t know anything about the Red Creek Project’s schemes. Even he has been kept in the dark!”

“That’s right. Shen Yuanbao is a pure warrior. He devotes all his time and effort to cultivation and combat. Of course, he left the mundane business of his enterprise to others to deal with. It’s quite normal for others to gradually ignore his instructions!”

“Universe Corporation is a product of Shen Yuanbao’s hard work. What good is it for him to mess with Universe Corporation? From a certain point of view, Shen Yuanbao is the biggest victim here!”

“Speaking of which, Shen Yuanbao really deserves the title of ‘fearless until his dying day.’ A year ago, he was already a peerless expert who stood at the top of Dragon City. He had fame, status, and power. He could have slept on the merit list, but he was still the first one to charge into the monster civilization’s ultimate lair. He stared at the monster civilization’s mastermind and bombarded it with attacks. He fought the enemy for three hundred rounds, severely injuring the monster mastermind and winning the battle. That planted the seed for today’s assassination!”

“Shen Yuanbao has always been like this. In the past, when he killed so many Apocalyptic Beasts, when was he never at the forefront of the charge?”

“Come to think of it, Shen Yuanbao has made such an amazing contribution to Dragon City, but now there are so many fictitious articles appearing on the Internet, discrediting this iron-willed hero. They’ve made people furious, and smoke is rising from their seven orifices. Are the people who write these discrediting articles and believe in them still human beings?”

“Perhaps they’re actually not humans but monsters in human skin!”

Under Shen Yuanbiao’s secret operation, similar comments soon spread across the entire Internet.

Shen Yuanbao’s battle video and the video of him not forgetting to encourage the citizens of dragon city to march forward when he was seriously injured also occupied the top ranks of all the major short video websites.

Moreover, through a special algorithm, it was pushed to the eyes of a large number of audiences at the first moment.

The effect of the traffic bombing was very obvious.

The vast majority of ordinary people were occupied with daily necessities. Their brains lacked sufficient space and computational ability to calculate certain things that the Deity Realm fighters like Shen Yuanbao could. For instance, the ratio of “light” and “darkness” on his body.

A minute ago, many ordinary people were still furious because of an article about ‘revealing the truth.’ They were furiously typing on their keyboards, they were shouting like a repeater, “The first bucket of gold for the Deity Realm warriors has been stained with blood! Dragon City is the Dragon City of all the citizens, not the Dragon City of Deity Realm fighters! We must curb the power of the Deity Realm fighters, break up the nine mega corporations, and stop the abnormal expansion of the nine noble cultivation families. Only by covering the sky with one hand can Dragon City welcome tomorrow!”

However, after they realized that the monster civilization had not been completely annihilated, that there were still many “monsters in human skin” moving in the crowd, and that they had been bombarded by a large number of battle videos of Shen Yuanbao, their attitude had undergone a hundred-and-eighty-degree change.

“It turns out that Shen Yuanbao has been wronged. Those so-called ‘shady plots’ are all lies!”

“The monsters are not completely extinct yet. The existence of the Deity Realm warriors is still necessary!”

“The surviving monsters are too sinister. They have opened up the battlefield from the real world to the Internet!”

Many of the people who were the first to “wake up” gained a sense of mission.

When many people gathered in the small circle to discuss the original sin that led to Shen Yuanbao’s rise, as well as the growing gap between the peerless experts and the ordinary people, and the harm caused by the tearing of the race to Dragon City, these people would appear and lightly say, “You’ve all been deceived. The truth is this…”

Of course, not everyone would change their stance so easily.

But the so-called “whitewashing” was never about washing 0 points into 100 points.

It was enough if they could wash 30 points into 60 points, or even 50 points.

In less than half a day, a large number of Shen Yuanbao’s loyal supporters had appeared on the Internet, and they began to have an intense confrontation with those who opposed Shen Yuanbao.

The former dismissed the latter as monster remnants, monster minions, and monster puppets, which was to defame the heroes of Dragon City and try to break the strongest defense line of Dragon City from the inside.

The latter criticized the former as the lackey of the nine great cultivation aristocratic families, which was an attempt to reverse history and drag Dragon City’s civilization back to the dark era where everyone was naturally unequal. Some people were born to be nobles, and some were born to be ants.

In the fierce debate between the two sides, Shen Yuanbao was neither good nor bad, and the truth was no longer important.

On the other hand, no matter how hard the two sides argued, there was one thing that no one could deny.

It was that the remnants of the monster civilization did exist. At the very least, it was possible.

Even the other eight mega corporations and the noble families of cultivation could not deny that.

No one, not even a Deity Realm warrior, dared to stand up and boast, “The monster civilization has been completely wiped out. There is absolutely no ‘tenth Supernatural Entity’ or ‘monsters in human skin.’ There is absolutely no such thing!”

No one dared to make such a guarantee.

Otherwise, if the tenth Supernatural Entity and the monsters in human skin really existed and caused serious problems, those who made such a guarantee would be in a situation where they would never be able to recover.

In addition to being blamed by the public, he would also have to undergo the most rigorous investigation to find out why he said such irresponsible words in the first place.

Moreover, if the tenth Supernatural Entity and the monsters in human skin did not exist, then who exactly tried to assassinate Shen Yuanbao?

Could it be that the internal power struggle of Universe Corporation had become so intense that they were going to physically destroy their own leader?

Or could it be that the business competition between the nine mega corporations had become a real battle between Deity Realm warriors?

Of course, no one dared to say that.

However, the other eight mega corporations and cultivation families could not rashly support the argument that the monster civilization had not died out. They could change their form and sneak into human society in an even more mysterious way.

Once they supported this argument, they would unwittingly support Shen Yuanbao’s proposal to expand the external investigation from the Red Creek Project to the nine mega corporations.

Since the monster remnants really existed, of course, they had to carry out the most thorough investigation in Dragon City.

As the nine pillars of Dragon City, it was natural for the nine mega corporations to carry out an investigation on them first. What reason did they have to refuse?

Therefore, in the face of the aggressive reporters, the spokesmen of the other eight mega corporations could only put on a sad face and say things like “no comment” and “we are urgently discussing countermeasures.” They repeated the same thing over and over.
