Full-time monk: I am the prophet of civilization!

In this way, those who were originally talented but not recognized had the opportunity to develop their talents and promote the progress of civilization.

Meanwhile, Donghuang can also acquire a large number of useful talents and a wealth of new knowledge and information.

Even those patriotic talents who, with the help of Donghuang, escaped their predicaments and devoted themselves to research had to thank Donghuang.

In addition to poaching talent, the deal previously reached with Time and Space Eyes was also launched simultaneously at this time.

Before the major powers and countries could react...

Donghuang then released information about the space station, dropping another bombshell on the already turbulent international community!

"Space Station..."

Lady Loo was completely stunned upon hearing the news.

As a high-ranking member of the Victorian family in charge of the dragon-training business, Lady Loor was all too aware of the importance of the Space Station.

It's important to know that the standard trade system currently used between countries and continents around the world is the same as the shipping and aviation system from Lin Fan's previous life.

Moreover, these modes of transportation are extremely risky because of the rampant demons.

Even in the original timeline, Mo Fan's father, Mo Jiaxing, was constantly on the move between the suburbs and Bo City, and he was afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Moreover, this kind of intercontinental trade is constantly failing.

At the moment of departure, none of the people involved in the long-distance trade knew what they would encounter.

Perhaps everything will go smoothly, perhaps we'll encounter natural disasters, or perhaps we'll be attacked by demons...

No one knew whether they would survive the entire flight, or how long they would live.

As a result, France's global trade has fallen considerably behind.

Under these circumstances, Donghuang actually released information about the space station...

This is similar to how, while other forces are still researching how to make fire by drilling wood, Donghuang has already completed a nuclear power plant.

The gap between the two has now widened immeasurably.

Such a huge gap even made Lady Loo change her mind.

'Given the current strength and potential of the Eastern Empire, can the Holy City still win?'

Previously, the Eastern Empire was only protected by the Sacred Totem Vermilion Bird and the Imperial Totem Moon Moth Phoenix.

In terms of overall strength, it is still inferior to top forces such as the Holy City and the Intercontinental Magic Association.

But with the addition of the Parthenon and the emergence of the Stations of Space…

Currently, the apparent combat strength of both sides is not exactly evenly matched, but at least there is no significant gap between them.

Even in terms of spatial transit alone, it far surpasses the conventional holy city in many ways…

At the very least, many forces focused on commercial development, including the Victorian aristocracy, would lean towards the Eastern Empire for the convenience of the space station.

It's important to know that so many changes have occurred in Donghuang in just over two months.

Even including events like the Vermilion Bird and the Holy Water, it still took less than a year.

In such a short time, they've gone from a country weak in magic to reaching the world's top level...

With this speed of development, who wouldn't tremble in fear?

only……

'It just so happens to be at this time...'

Looking at her husband, whom she had frozen in place, Lady Loo clenched her teeth and frowned slightly.

More than two months ago, I witnessed Lin Fan breaking through the dual-system forbidden spell.

Lady Loeu then realized that she was in danger.

Therefore, in exchange for the Heart of the Earth, they sold out the interests of the Victorian family.

(See Chapter 159 or Chapter 9 for details on forbidden spells of the wind and fire elements and their respective reactions)

After more than two months, she finally succeeded in breaking through the forbidden ice spell.

Just yesterday, at the moment of her breakthrough, she directly froze her husband, Duke Albert, who had brought his mistress into the mansion, turning him into an ice pop and usurping some of the rights of the Victorian aristocracy.

Originally, she intended to contribute a portion of Victoria's dragon-taming profits to the Holy City as promised.

But now, the rapid rise of Donghuang has made her feel uneasy.

'What's happening now is still an internal conflict within the Victorian aristocracy.'

'As long as I handle it properly, it won't be considered direct collusion with the Holy City...'

Lady Loo gently stroked the huge block of ice, and a bold idea gradually formed in her mind.

'Even more so, if I were to use this as leverage against Chong Huang…'

The saying goes, "Wealth and honor are sought amidst danger."

If we say that the Holy City is a stable stock that develops steadily and remains unchanged for thousands of years.

Therefore, in Lady Loo's eyes, Donghuang was a top-potential stock that was very likely to soar to great heights.

It's no wonder Lady Loo changed her mind so frequently; the development speed of the Eastern Empire was simply too astonishing and too tempting.

As for his previous hostility towards Donghuang and Lin Fan...

Lady Loo could only say that the past is the past, and the present is the present; don't take the past for eternity.

Previously, she was just a high-level mage, and her status and resources within the Victorian family depended entirely on Duke Albert.

With Duke Albert seeking a new love and the Eastern Empire becoming increasingly powerful, she naturally worried about being abandoned by the Victorian aristocracy.

But now, she has broken through and become a forbidden ice magic mage.

They also froze Duke Albert and stripped the Victorian family of some of their rights.

Changes in status and position also bring about changes in perspectives and consciousness.

'Since I'm going to be someone's slave anyway, why not go to the more promising Donghuang?'

Looking at the frozen Duke Albert and his mistress, Lady Loo had already made her decision.

There is nothing new in the world, and things like Mrs. Loo's have happened in many places around the world.

Of course, not everyone expects Donghuang to become stronger and stronger.

"So the air in Donghuang is sweet? The fragrance of my Chongying cherry blossoms is a hundred times! A thousand times better!?"

Mochizuki slammed his phone to the ground, his rage masking a hint of fear of being purged.

"Hachi, calm down! What kind of behavior are you in?!"

A stern rebuke came from Mochizuki Hachi's ears, instantly snapping him out of his rage.

"Yes, I lost my composure..."

Deeply ingrained habits led Mochizuki Hachi to bow to Mochizuki Meiken while apologizing.

Although in terms of status and position, Mochizuki Hachi is already a priest of the Holy Tribunal.

However, in terms of seniority, Mochizuki Meiken is still the senior of Mochizuki Hachisai and the pillar of the Mochizuki clan.

If they hadn't completely fallen out, the Eight Serpents of the Moon would have really had to give the old man, the Famous Swordsman of the Moon, some respect.

"Yes, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush..."

Wang Yueming slapped the table, attempting to appease Xing Sisheng.

As a veteran, Mochizuki Meiken knew that the more critical the situation, the less he should rush.

However, not everyone can learn and apply this principle.

"Sword Master, it's not that we're in a hurry, it's just that the threat from the Eastern Empire is growing stronger and stronger..."

Arakawa Hirokazu frowned and spoke with a worried expression.

Like Mochizuki Meiken, the Arakawa clan behind Hirokazu Arakawa is also a major clan in Shigezaku.

With Hiroichi Arakawa, a proponent of war, speaking out, many members of prominent families echoed his sentiments.

"Yes, because of the economic control imposed by the Eastern Empire, our Utsunomiya family has been having a very difficult time these days..."

As Utsunomiya Taichi echoed his sentiments, he seized the opportunity to complain.

"Our Toyota family and the Victoria clan's dragon orders have also been cancelled because of the Eastern Empire..."

"The Feng Demon Family..."

As the representatives of various aristocratic families began to speak, Wangyue Mingjian lowered his eyelids slightly and sighed inwardly.

As a neutral party in Chongying, he would not want to rashly take action against Donghuang if he had a choice.

But now the threat from the Eastern Empire is growing, and the Chongying Clan is riddled with internal conflicts, with all the major clans reaching their limit of patience...

Moreover, and most importantly, the time when Donghuang released the information about the space station was exactly the time when they were about to escape.

Originally, Arakawa, Fuma, and others gathered at the Guardian Pavilion to discuss the inclusion of the Parthenon Temple into the Eastern Empire.

The atmosphere here is already incredibly tense.

Donghuang has just released information about the space station.

This is tantamount to throwing firecrackers into a biogas digester; they'll explode as soon as you light them.

Since the cold wave hit more than half a year ago.

By providing the Vermilion Bird thermal suit, holy water, and other life-saving supplies, Donghuang not only forcibly broke through the international blockade but also won over a large number of international allies.

(See Chapter 138 for details, on trillions of profits and project progress)

The Utsunomiya and Toyoda families, who complained earlier, were among the forces that suffered the greatest losses in the Donghuang's response to the Chongying incident.

The Utsunomiya family's exports of seafood and demon materials, as well as the Toyota family's beast taming and stun-making industries, were all greatly affected.

My income has decreased significantly in the past year, but under normal circumstances I could still tighten my belt and make ends meet.

But then, the Southern Emperor unleashed a cold wave disaster.

Chongying would need to spend even more money to buy Suzaku thermal underwear, heating, and other life-saving supplies from Donghuang...

In one go, they ripped a large chunk of flesh from Chongying's body.

If this continues, it will be very easy for Chongying and Yixinglan to become entangled in a dangerous situation...

"Gentlemen, we are now at a critical juncture of life and death, and we must impose sanctions on Donghuang!"

Seeing that the meeting had achieved the target for the transfer of personnel, Hirokazu Arakawa took the opportunity to express his own views.

Although Hirokazu Arakawa spoke of sanctions, it was clear to anyone with a discerning eye that he was no longer referring to the economic or resource sanctions of the past.

What he wants is a war!

Upon hearing Arakawa Hiroichi's words, many pro-war advocates echoed his sentiments, and some neutrals also seemed tempted.

But just as he was about to offer his support, he remembered the divine might of the Vermilion Bird, which was as dazzling as the sun in the sky, more than two months ago.

Those were emperors, and two emperor-level winged demons at that.

"We alone are simply no match for Vermilion Bird and Moon Moth Phoenix..."

Wangyue's famous sword hit the nail on the head, directly pointing out the crux of the problem.

Two Emperor-level Feathered Demons, let alone whether they can win.

Even if they win, would those forbidden spellcasters in the country risk their lives to fight?

Even if they were willing, and could win.

With only nine-tenths of her original fighting strength remaining, how will Chongying deal with the mage legions from Donghuang and the Parthenon Temple?

The question about the Moon Gazing Sword was like a bucket of cold water being poured directly over his head, almost completely extinguishing his fury.

This is also the main reason why he has always been unwilling to have a conflict with Donghuang.

"Moon Gazing Sword, you've grown old and weak."

At that very moment, Hiromu Arakawa remained outspoken.
