I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

Several seemingly unrelated matters came together to form a devastating piece of news that caused sleepless nights and uneasy days.

All the news points to one thing—the North is about to be thrown into turmoil again.

"His Majesty."

A eunuch standing nearby brought a golden-feathered beast to his side and called his name softly.

"The God's letter has arrived."

The golden feather fell into the palm of the true dragon and transformed into a secret letter.

The dragon focused his mind, dispelling any slackness, and personally unveiled the red seal.

"Okay... finally, finally some reassuring news."

Compared to the other two troublesome allies, the True Dragon was very fortunate to have a reliable master in his family.

"Issue my decree to inform those two messengers... The situation in the North concerns the safety of the entire nation, and this time it is even more severe. As friendly neighbors, we should put aside our prejudices and join hands to overcome this difficult time."

"But without an alliance, how can we convey our true intentions? In the name of the Great Yan, I invite them to join the community. From now on, we should work together and build good relations with our neighboring countries."

"Here."

……

"What's wrong? Why do you look unhappy?"

The boy tugged at his collar, asking him with considerable confusion.

Did Xiaolong have a setback at the meeting? He looked so glum after the meeting.

"It's not about the meeting."

By daylight, I seized Him and gently lifted His chin to dispel my troubles.

"It's the north...it's going to be chaotic again."

"It would be strange if the North wasn't in chaos."

Even at his age, he knew that those scoundrels were piled up in the north, and they would occasionally come south to plunder, more frequently than the Great Khan had ever done.

"This time is different..."

The daytime lifted Him up and led Him to the balcony.

The sun still shone brightly in the sky, the sky was clear and cloudless, and not a single star could be seen.

"Before the arrival of the star tide, the fire of chaos will devour the earth, burn the oceans, and blot out the sky."

"Of all the worlds, of all the ends, is this the cycle that has come to this?"

“Speak plainly, I find your mystical talk annoying.”

"Just some reflections... Haha, don't bite me, I'll tell you."

Bai Zhou grabbed the cat by the scruff of its neck and pulled it off his hand, continuing:

“The Sami high priest died half a month ago.”

"Died in a grand festival."

"Is it related to those things?"

Released from her grasp, Sui lay on the small table on the balcony, rummaging through the snack basket for a pastry while eating and asking questions.

“A mutation has occurred.”

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the horizon.

"A powerful and cunning special entity. It can devour the 'past' and gather all the past events into its own body."

"...That sounds like a pretty impressive ability."

But the year did not understand.

"If that's all, it wouldn't pose much of a threat."

If Xiaolong takes action, he can eliminate the opponent before they grow stronger.

"I am capable of killing it right now."

Bai Zhou turned to look at Sui, who seemed indifferent to everything else, and flicked her swaying tail with her finger.

"But would killing it bring any good change to the land now?"

Will this end the internal strife in Ursus?

Will Sami become stronger because of this?

Will the situation for those infected improve?

"Will not."

Bai Zhou sighed softly, watching the passing years pass by.

"...Keep going. What benefits will it bring once it grows up?"

Sui licked her paws and looked at the silent Bai Zhou with a puzzled expression.

"Ugh……"

Since the year hadn't offered any good insights, the daylight wasn't angry. Instead, it continued, "When the chaotic wildfire engulfs the only house that retains order, even the most hostile inhabitants will reconcile in the face of danger and join forces to extinguish the wildfire."

"The same applies to changing this land; simply waiting for time and the changing of nations is not enough. We need a powerful external factor, strong enough to alter the world order, as a breakthrough."

"Only when a factor threatens the survival of the entire civilization will the beings within the civilization abandon their arrogance and prejudice and do everything they can to make changes that will allow the civilization to survive."

"So you want that thing to force those humans to change themselves voluntarily?"

"yes……"

Even during the day, there is a sense of helplessness.

Every single country in mainland China is either in a state of decline or on its way to decline.

Ursus has yet to resolve the messy issues between the old and new elites, let alone the problem of the infected that are about to spread throughout its territory.

The internal strife in Victoria wiped out all the potential monarchs. After Draco died, Aslan died, and for more than a decade there was no leader. The fact that the country did not dissolve was the result of the hard work and dedication of the remaining pro-monarchy grand dukes.

Colombia is too young and too weak to achieve anything significant.

If Letania were under the rule of a Witch King before he went mad, it would be something to talk about, but now... ha, it's just a plaything in the Elector's hands.

The once-prosperous Iberia was swept away by the Great Tranquility, leaving it in such a state that its people still needed Lateran as a source of spiritual support.

Agor is trying, but their technological arrogance prevents them from seeing the current direction of the world. Going it alone will only lead to their slow drowning in the ocean.

What about Gaul? The mighty Gaul, please save them!

Oh, Gaul is gone.

If this continues, without proactive intervention, humanity will perish on its own next time, even without demonic invasion.

Still dreaming of sweeping across the universe and conquering the stars? Just sit back and watch the alien species fight amongst themselves.

……

The humiliating defeat of Ursus in Sunset Canyon has become the biggest topic of conversation among nations these past two days. Let's take a look at the comments from the Old Celestial Master of Yan Kingdom, who achieved a great victory against the alien race:

"Tell me about Ursus, how many kings have come and gone? Has anything been changed? It's just the same old wine in new bottles. Even the Great Khan has his reasons: 'What kind of army do I lead? I lead the Nightmare Kheshig!' And what kind of people are you, asking me to lead them? What is the current level of national strength of a nation fighting on the front lines against the alien races? Just a few internal guards. You, Kosiché, are talking about rebuilding Ursus's glory, but can you do it? No, you can't. You don't have the ability, you know? If this continues, we'll lose to Agor, then Sargon will lose to Sami, and then no one will be able to lose to us."

Reporter M: On the other hand, Ursus was also one of the first nations to prepare for the war against the Iceborne Demons.

Old Master: Oh dear! Thank goodness! I already said, in a war like this, the foundation wasn't even laid properly. Can you guarantee I'll win in future conflicts? Be realistic. I advise you to first understand your own tactics, strategies, and concepts for resisting foreign enemies. Bozokasti was playing quite well, why did you replace him? Tell me, if you lose to Kazimir's Silver Spear and come in last, how do you explain that? You've got no shame!

Back to Eryouyou Fox Mouth

"Thank you for your help, Senior Qinghuai."

"It's nothing."

The Sun-Eyed Nine-Tails, who was sitting cross-legged and concentrating, did not respond much. However, the Moon-Eyed Nine-Tails, who was reading a book to the side, spoke up.

"It's nothing, no need for thanks. We're colleagues and fellow travelers, so it's convenient for us to travel together."

"Senior Chu Yu is right."

Looking up at the somewhat reserved dragon, Chu Yu smiled gently.

"Why are you so distant with me, little Fuxun? I remember you were a chivalrous woman with a heart of steel and tenderness back then."

"Please don't bring up those immature things from the past again, Senior Chuyu."

When asked about his overly immature past when he first entered the martial arts world, Fu Xun hurriedly took out a bag of dried apricots from his package and presented it to her like a treasure.

"Hmm~".

Chu Yu glanced at the girl sitting quietly next to Fu Xun, eating dried scale meat, and changed the subject to suit Fu Xun's wishes.

"The young lady has received imperial favor at such a young age; she is truly a promising young woman."

"The exam was difficult, but it was worth it."

After eating the dried squid in two bites, Shouyan smacked his lips, showing no arrogance but a hint of pride in his eyes.

"To receive such glory and honor is well worth it."

"Second sister, can we change it?"

The little nine-tailed fox driving in front asked with a hint of resentment.

"I don't have a driver's license, Xiao Shuangyue. You don't want us to be invited for tea as soon as we enter the city, do you?"

Chu Yu pinched a piece of dried apricot, took a small bite, and chewed it slowly. Her phoenix-shaped eyebrows curved like crescent moons, and a glint of light made her look cunning like a fox... Oh, she really is a fox.

"Sister Qinghuai is the only fighting force that our Tushan clan can offer, so we can't disturb her. I'll leave it to you, little sister. Once we get to the capital, I'll take you to have some fun."

"...Do you think I'm stupid, Second Sister?"

A look of helplessness flashed in her clear eyes, which were half gold and half silver.

That wretched second sister! Does she really think she's still the clueless idiot she used to be? Now that they've moved to the capital, they've had no time for entertainment.

"Hey, don't you like it? I think the new roller coaster at the Capital Amusement Park is pretty fun."

Chu Yu couldn't stop thinking about the amusement park rides she had seen earlier.
