Chapter 904: Chapter 717: Mounting Pressure

…

At the construction site.

Tu Lishan looked at messages one by one.

From Yu Xinghan of the Civil Engineering Department: Teacher, long time no see. Please take care of us as we cooperate on the construction this time.

Tu Lishan: Xinghan, you’re getting more and more capable. I see your projects for expanding production lines everywhere.

From Mo Enting of the Artifact Refining Department: Teacher, please guide us again this time.

Tu Lishan: Alright, alright, do your work, and I’ll be at ease.

There were also some students from the Finance Department who had not been taken away by the department’s main force, now looking for work at the construction site.

“Teacher, do you remember me? I’m Huai Zhixia who helped you with the loan before…”

Tu Lishan looked at the Finance Department student before him, shook his head, and said, “Teacher has a bad memory, I don’t remember.”

“Teacher…”

Then he saw a mass of mosaic approaching with a loud voice, knowing it was the demon descendant he’d blocked coming back to find him.

Although Zhang Yu tried to ease the tension, the conflict between humans and demons couldn’t be avoided, and no amount of propaganda could prevent cultivators, especially those at higher levels, from having suspicion towards all demon descendants.

The high levels of the Ten Colleges weren’t unaware that this suspicion was constantly pushing many demon descendants towards the Righteous Alliance, but no one was willing to gamble their profit and assets on whether a demon descendant they encountered was trustworthy.

…

8 days 7 hours 55 minutes 12 seconds

Watching the countdown ticking away, Zhang Yu never before wished so intensely for time to accelerate, to become faster.

But in the next moment, the countdown suddenly jumped, rising sharply to 11 days 12 hours 49 minutes 7 seconds.

“What happened again?”

Zhang Yu immediately checked all the messages.

In the video, flying boats descended on a college campus, sending all teachers and students skyward.

The True Monarch of the College stood at the bow, smiling as he said, “Everyone, do you want to be a university student? Do you want to be free from the constraints of a college student identity?”

“The Righteous Alliance declares, from now on there are no college students, only university students!”

“As long as you join the Righteous Alliance, university entrance exams will no longer stream students, from now on everyone is a university student, and there are no college students left in the world.”

“As long as you join the Righteous Alliance, all military-level techniques are free to choose and learn, and after a year, we will pass on Immortal Sect Techniques!”

“As long as you join the Righteous Alliance…”

The True Monarch of the College, smiling, lifted the body of a Nascent Soul Cultivator: “Look, this guy seems to be the champion of the top ten competitions thirty years ago.”

“As long as you join the Righteous Alliance, you can step on those so-called Ten College geniuses like I do.”

Watching the video, Zhang Yu sighed in his heart: “These guys… free military-level learning? Even passing on Immortal Sect Techniques? It’s like insane propaganda.”

After the True Monarch of the College, the video of True Monarch Liang Yan of the Righteous Alliance also spread wildly in the Spirit Realm.

In the video, True Monarch Liang Yan began to speak about the disdain chain within the Righteous Alliance regarding surrender.

Everyone who joins the Righteous Alliance is marked by their joining time; those who join earlier naturally receive more respect, regardless of their level, they are seniors.

Those who join later receive more disdain; even if they are higher level, they are juniors, must give way in lines, when taking pills, and various benefits are weaker the later they join…

Watching the frantic propaganda of the True Monarch of the College and True Monarch Liang Yan, Zhang Yu seemed to see countless college students itching to join.

Clearly, these waves of propaganda will once again impact the Ten Colleges and today’s Skydome Plan.

Fu Ji suddenly said, “Recently, the actions they’re taking don’t seem to consider future sustainability at all? It gives me a feeling of… madness.”

Zhang Yu’s heart was stirred, and he nodded slightly: “These guys are indeed becoming more and more insane.”

But regardless of why the Righteous Alliance is becoming increasingly insane, Zhang Yu can sense the pressure this madness puts on the Ten Colleges.

He could only support the comprehensive ban on relevant information like other True Monarchs, trying to minimize the flow of information.

Feng Tingting: True Monarch, can you help me get unbanned? [Pleading]

Feng Tingting: I clearly talked about True Monarch Big Profit, who is a legitimate Nascent Soul True Monarch at Immortal Soldier University, and yet I was mistakenly banned for 24 hours.

Feng Tingting: I’m the one specifically exposing the darkness of the Righteous Alliance! Now I’m banned, I don’t know how many trolls are taking the opportunity to promote the Righteous Alliance!

Zhang Yu: I asked around for you, it should be released soon.

Zhang Yu: Recently, information review has been stricter. True Monarch Big Profit was spread by the Righteous Alliance as a homophone for True Monarch of the College, and even he has applied to change his title, so you should be careful.

…

At the construction site.

After receiving guidance from Zhang Yu, Yan Qianji went to various sites to guide the construction of production lines.

At that moment, Zhao Tianxing’s figure floated in Yan Qianji’s eye remains. Yan Qianji couldn’t help but say to the person beside him, “Didn’t I say that I don’t want anyone with a college degree on my site?”

“Don’t you see how many college students are causing problems every day now?”

“This project involves the grand plan of Zhu Yi True Monarch. Can you bear the responsibility if something goes wrong?”

His subordinate said helplessly, “This college Soul Cultivator has already transferred to a bachelor’s program, and he is Zhu Yi Divine Monarch’s person.”

Zhao Tianxing looked at Yan Qianji and couldn’t help but say, “I also broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in the Spirit Realm Calculation Pool of Wanfa University, not your ordinary college student, a half-alumni of yours.”

While saying this, he showed evidence of his access to the research association.

Seeing this evidence, Yan Qianji became even more dissatisfied and reported to Zhang Yu that day: True Monarch, it’s about getting close to university while distancing from college. With college student problems occurring frequently, how can you allow college students to freely enter and exit the research association? There’s too much security risk in this.

Zhang Yu sighed, looking over as Jin Jun reported Shi Yunxiang for stealing materials on the construction site, hoping for a strict investigation into demon descendants.

But Zhang Yu knew that if he really punished them severely, the many demon descendants within the Ten Colleges wouldn’t care about the truth and would only see it as targeting them.

Normally, research would be fine, but now causing such a conflict would delay the Skydome Plan by at least 18 hours.

Besides, picking up materials on the construction site has been an unspoken rule among the colleges, and Zhang Yu wasn’t a stranger to it in the past.

If he punished Shi Yunxiang severely for this, it might trigger a reaction from the Civil Engineering Department and also affect the Skydome Plan.

Just as Zhang Yu was pondering what to do, he received reports about the corruption issues relating to True Monarch Xian Yin and Thunder Extreme True Monarch, who took numerous kickbacks from vendors outside the colleges.

If this issue were thoroughly investigated, it would likewise delay the completion of the Skydome Plan.

Moreover, with the platforms tightening loan funds for demon descendants and college students, famine and a shortage of medicines were spreading among them.

However, with the Ten Colleges pushing the Skydome Plan with full force, if they were to lend a helping hand to aid college students and demon descendants, not to mention whether the higher-ups would support it, such an action would obviously delay the plan as well.

At this moment, Zhang Yu realized that under the incessant pressure from the Righteous Alliance, every issue surfacing before him, every choice he could make, was either contrary to his will or detrimental to the overall situation.

Even though he stood taller and possessed greater power, it seemed he was met with even more pressure and troubles.

He felt like a taut string that was dragging the Ten Colleges along, watching the countdown move forward second by second.

5 days 12 hours 3 minutes 27 seconds

That day, an icon with the name Xiong Wenwu started flashing before Zhang Yu.

But when Zhang Yu accepted the communication, a strange projection appeared in front of him.

The stranger looked at Zhang Yu and said, “Hello, Zhang Yu.”

“I am Fu Xiantian, the Alliance Hierarch of the Righteous Alliance.”

“You may call me Senior Brother.”
