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

Most of them are fake forbidden spells that cannot be released independently.

One-third of the forbidden spellcasters chose to support Donghuang.

Some sorcerers, however, offered conflicting accounts, attempting to use this incident to their advantage and achieve their own goals.

The dispute lasted half the night, but no suitable solution could be reached.

This is also a drawback of the Forbidden Curse Alliance, a top force among those who seek to eliminate evil.

The members are suspicious of each other and have their own selfish motives.

Unless it is a matter of life and death, it is almost impossible for them to unite as one.

This stands in stark contrast to the principles of combined spellcasting that they are currently discussing.

"Ugh……"

President Weber sighed lightly, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

How can you achieve anything great while working with these guys...?

Just as they were about to launch a vote to end this farce, Donghuang released another message that shocked everyone once again.

"The mystery of the drowning curse: Emperor Shigeo and the four great clans have been replaced by demons and imposters."

"The Eastern Empire will help the people of Chongying to be freed from the enslavement of demons!"

Chapter 254 Drowning Curse Jellyfish Maggots, The Fake Emperor Shigeo Sakura

"The mystery of the drowning curse? Emperor Shigeoka and the four top aristocratic families have been replaced by imposters?!"

The attendees, all of whom were deeply moved, turned their gazes toward the phantoms of the forbidden spells cast during the meeting.

The forbidden spellcasters on Chongying's side all changed their expressions drastically.

The forbidden spellcasters, who were not on the list, looked on in disbelief as they secretly observed the phantom of the person in question.

Meanwhile, the four people involved—Emperor Shigeoka, the Minamoto clan, the Taira clan, and the Tachibana clan—had ashen faces and their eyes blazing with fury.

Especially after noticing the gazes of the other forbidden spellcasters, the four men's already ashen faces turned even more gloomy.

"Don't listen to Donghuang's nonsense. What drowning curse, what jellyfish maggots, it's all just slander."

Emperor Shigeo, the second person in the Fujiwara clan to be granted a forbidden spell, immediately spoke up to defend himself.

"That's right, please don't believe Donghuang's one-sided story and slander people's innocence without any basis..."

"How could we, as masters of forbidden spells, be imposters in disguise?"

Genji, Taira, and other related forbidden spell masters all chimed in to echo this sentiment.

No one wants to be seen as a fake, and this was true even for powerful clans like Emperor Shigeoku, the Minamoto clan, and the Taira clan.

However, compared to the ample evidence from Donghuang, Chongying and the others' words seemed more like one-sided accounts.

Whether it's the discovery of the drowning curse, the jellyfish maggots, or the numerous solutions such as vaccine development and tracing clues, they all confirm Donghuang's statement.

"If you are indeed healthy, would you be willing to accept the vaccine provided by Donghuang and undergo identity verification?"

Steve, the speaker of the Northern Union, spoke first and proposed a seemingly fair solution.

Upon hearing this, various countries and major powers all nodded in agreement to ban the spell.

For those who are indifferent to the matter and believe they have no problem with it, this is undoubtedly a good approach.

However, for the forbidden spellcasters of Chongying, this method undoubtedly meant handing their lives over to the Eastern Emperor.

"Impossible! We absolutely cannot accept this proposal."

Emperor Shigeoka was the first to speak, rejecting the proposal.

“That’s right. Who knows if Donghuang will tamper with the vaccine? We can’t entrust our lives to Donghuang.”

Genji also spoke rationally.

As an expert in poisoning and ambushes, Shigeo is extremely experienced in this area.

The possibility of adding mind-controlling or deadly poisons to vaccines was something they immediately considered.

"And you shouldn't just stand by and do nothing."

"If Donghuang can slander us, he can certainly slander anyone here."

"If you stand idly by and get into trouble, don't blame us for being unable to help."

The Tachibana clan's forbidden spell laid everything bare, attempting to transform their own fire into a problem for all of humanity.

However, his thoughts and responses were already within Lin Fan and Dong Huang's predictions.

"The Forbidden Curse of Orange, I suppose you haven't finished reading all the documents sent by Donghuang yet?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Chairman Weber's words, Mr. Tachibana was taken aback at first, then felt uneasy and quickly began to read the widely circulated document.

"Donghuang is willing to make vaccine production public and allow all parties to monitor it together..."

This single point thwarted the Tachibana clan's plan to involve various forces and countries.

But this also gave Tachibana, Genji, and others confidence.

“If the Forbidden Spells Alliance produces the vaccine, and we publicly verify it before use, I am willing to use the vaccine.”

After reading the documents and learning about the vaccine, jellyfish maggots, and other related information, Genji's livid face gradually recovered, and he smiled again.

"I agree."

"agree."

Upon hearing this, the two forbidden spell masters, Tachibana and Taira, who were standing nearby, both spoke up to express their approval.

They were all certain that they were fine.

In that case, as long as the vaccine is safe, they don't mind using it to publicly verify human identity, thereby damaging the prestige of Donghuang.

However, it was Emperor Shigeoka who should have been the first to agree.

At this moment, however, he lowered his head and remained silent, his hidden eyes occasionally flashing with a hint of coldness.

'Haven't you expected that after hiding for decades, you'd still be discovered?'

Yes, just as Emperor Shigeoku thought.

Donghuang and Lin Fan weren't entirely lying; Emperor Shigeoku was indeed a fraud.

As an island nation surrounded by the sea, Shigeoka is also frequently hit by earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons and floods, providing ample breeding grounds for jellyfish maggots.

While in other countries there are only a few dozen or a hundred cases of jellyfish maggot drowning curses, in Shigesakura there are thousands or even tens of thousands of cases.

The unloading of the sighs and the instructions of the school, the evenness of the tattered grains, the rising of the spirits, the faltering of the flowing fans, the emptiness of the empty space, the occurrence of the events involving the people.

When Emperor Shigeoka was a child, he was playing at the beach when he unfortunately encountered a jellyfish maggot that wanted to devour him.

Even a monarch-level demon could be easily overpowered by the jellyfish maggots if it's not careful, let alone Emperor Shigeoka, who is still a child.

As expected, Emperor Shigeoka became the meal of the jellyfish maggots, and even his identity was taken over.

In the decades that followed, Emperor Shigeoka used his status as the eldest son of the Fujiwara clan, one of the four most prestigious clans of Shigeoka, to advance rapidly.

Until the four great clans took turns ruling, the Fujiwara clan became the new emperor of the Shigeoka era.

Over the years, Emperor Shigeoka has been an excellent disguiser, and no one has guessed that his identity is different.

After all, if one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would believe that a demon could replace humanity?

Not only did they acquire the identity, appearance, and talents of the person in question, but they also awakened magic and even broke through to the level of forbidden spells, becoming Emperor Shigesakura.

In other words, Emperor Shizuka encountered Lin Fan, a cheat character, and was easily defeated without any strategy.

Otherwise, it might really continue to pretend.

"Emperor? Emperor?"

Genji frowned slightly and repeatedly reminded him.

"Hmm? Oh, sorry, I was engrossed in reading the data."

Emperor Shigeoku first apologized, then paused before continuing.

“I have no problem with that either. I can accept the vaccine and prove myself.”

While speaking, Emperor Shigeoka displayed Oscar-worthy acting skills, barely managing to suppress his gritted teeth.

It certainly knew that, for this fake human, getting vaccinated was tantamount to committing suicide by poison.

But now it doesn't have that many choices; otherwise, it would be suspected by other forbidden spells.

Exposing one's identity would mean certain death.

'The only option now is to stall for time, or...'

Emperor Shigeoku was lost in thought, a ruthless and cunning glint flashing in his eyes from time to time.

"Alright, since you put it that way, then we'll take care of the vaccine production."

Chairman Weber nodded slightly, agreeing to leave the matter for the time being.

"As for the Eastern Empire, let's discuss the joint spellcasting and fusion magic later."

Even Chairman Weber had to admit that Donghuang's claim of drowning the jellyfish maggots had attracted all the attention of the company.

After all, the two major techniques of combined spellcasting and fusion magic only affect the future status and position of forbidden spellcasters.

The jellyfish maggots that can devour humans are related to the survival of their own power and human civilization.

The relative importance of each is obvious at a glance.

Chapter 255: Undoubtedly verified, they are all imposters?

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

On October 11th, the Twin Guardian Pavilion of Chongying was exceptionally lively.

Not only Emperor Shigeoka, the Genji clan, the Taira clan, and many other high-ranking Shigeoka figures gathered there.

Even many international forces have sent people to come.

Steve, Speaker of the Northern Alliance; Webber, President of the Forbidden Spells Alliance; Hopper, Hunter Leader of the Hunter Alliance; and Xizhe, a member of the Asian Magic Association…

A total of ten forbidden spell masters from various forces and countries.

They were all the certifiers of the fake person incident agreed upon at the original meeting of the Forbidden Curses Alliance.

In addition, to the surprise of Emperor Shigeoka, the Genji, and others, there were also people from the Eastern Empire who came.

"Lin Fan, this is my Chongying territory! How dare you come uninvited?!"

Since there was no footage of Lin Fan displaying his strength in the previous war live broadcast clips, Genji Forbidden Curse had no respect for Lin Fan and immediately questioned him.

"Hehe, I didn't come uninvited."

Lin Fan remained neither humble nor arrogant, chuckled twice, revealing the figures of Sugawara, Mochizuki Meiken, and others following behind him.

"Lord Lin Fan is a distinguished guest of Chongying, invited by us."

Sugawara stepped forward and explained to the assembled crowd.

"Sugawara!? And Nozomi, Kujo..."

Genji, Taira, and the other two brothers stared at the three forbidden spellcasters who had previously led the army.

"How dare you betray Chongying and defect to Donghuang?!"

"You cowards who fear death! I'm going to kill you all!"

Genji glared angrily, wishing he could tear Sugawara and the others apart on the spot.

"We didn't betray Chongying. The ones who truly betrayed Chongying are you!"

"Oh, no, it should be said that you usurpers are the true traitors and retainers of Chongying."

"We have returned today to clean up our house and restore order to the world!"

As expected of a cultured person, Sugawara underwent another ten days of intellectual baptism in the East.
