Fabricating myths, starting with the creation of eight fictional ancient tribes

Xu Wen immediately convened an emergency meeting.

In the conference room, there were only three people: him, Ye Yuhang, and Nie Xinghua.

The atmosphere was so serious it was suffocating.

"The information revealed by the two elderly professors and the village guardian is astonishing."

Xu Wen frowned, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

"The Heavenly Palace, the Dragon Clan... If this is true, then our current defense system is simply not up to par."

"And the fact that 'Luodu has changed' makes me feel uneasy."

Ye Yuhang nodded, his expression grave.

"Luoyang has been one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization since ancient times."

"The Hetu and Luoshu, the divine tortoise carrying the book... so many myths and legends are related to that place."

"If something goes wrong there, it could be even more serious than this desolate and forbidden land."

Nie Xinghua added:

"We must immediately send people to set up surveillance along both sides of Luoyang."

"Regardless of whether there are any abnormalities, first suppress the news and evacuate the crowd."

"We can't afford to be passive like we have this time."

The three quickly reached an agreement.

Xu Wen immediately picked up the red encrypted phone and dialed the number that led directly to the Emperor's ears.

After finishing his report, he put down the phone, his expression becoming even more serious.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the full-channel broadcast button.

"I am Xu Wen."

"Highest alert level issued!"

"From this moment forward, no one is permitted to leave the camp without authorization!"

"Any outing must be approved by my personal signature!"

"All communication devices—mobile phones, computers, tablets—must be handed over!"

"Anyone who disobeys will be punished for treason! Execution by firing squad, immediately!"

The order was given, and the entire camp sprang into action instantly.

The guards quickly assembled, stormed into the experts' tents, and began forcibly confiscating their equipment.

"What are you doing? I'm an expert! I have the right to keep my phone!"

"This is my personal computer; it contains important data!"

"Why are you taking us in? This is house arrest!"

Many experts protested and questioned the actions, and some even tried to stop the soldiers.

But against heavily armed soldiers, all resistance was futile.

Soon, several boxes of electronic equipment were delivered to Xu Wen's office.

Xu Wen looked at the experts, whose faces were full of anger, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, I know you have feelings."

"But this is for national security."

"The information just revealed by the village keeper concerns the fate of the nation."

"There may be spies in this camp who have been bought off by foreign countries."

"If the news gets leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable."

He turned to look at Ye Yuhang and Nie Xinghua.

"I hope you two professors can understand."

Ye Yuhang waved his hand, his expression serious.

"Commander Xu, you did the right thing."

"National interests come first."

"This operation is an SSS-level classified operation; the old commander had already given instructions on it."

"Anyone who dares to mess up at this crucial moment will be the first to face my wrath!"

Nie Xinghua also nodded in support.

"The current international situation is complex, and spies can infiltrate everywhere."

"Keeping quiet is our bottom line now."

After calming everyone down, Ye Yuhang couldn't help but ask:

"Commander Xu, what deployments does the old commander have regarding Luo Du?"

Xu Wen sighed and turned his gaze to the Luodu region on the map.

"We have already arranged for nearby troops to go there."

"However... there are many residents on both sides of Luodu, and it is also a tourist area."

"If something unusual really happens, it will be very difficult to completely hide it."

"Our mission here remains the same: to defend the ancient forbidden land to the death."

"This is the eye of the storm."

……

at the same time.

Within the Great Xia territory, a climate of fear and unease had already spread.

Although the authorities blocked most of the horrific videos, the tragic scenes from Japan still managed to get in through various channels.

Rice, flour, oil, and other food items in the supermarket were all snapped up.

Gas masks, entrenching tools, and other supplies have become scarce commodities.

The government did not stop this; on the contrary, it secretly supported the public in making appropriate stockpiles of supplies.

This is also a form of silent preparation for war.

The video of Wan Xingwang slapping the headless ghost general away has become the focus of heated discussion across the internet.

"That was so cool! That slap was so satisfying!"

"Is this our guardian angel?"

"As long as he's there, those demons and monsters won't dare to invade Great Xia!"

"But who exactly is he? And why is he so strong?"

Countless people are speculating and praying.

Many more people, however, turned their attention to Luodu.

That place, which the villagers predicted would soon undergo a change.
