After only three weeks, the incident had been fermenting. Almost every renowned sect in the core worlds was roasted on a volcano.
In the meantime, in a certain corner of the Spiritual Nexus, a brand-new opinion was secretly released and soon spread out like a plague.
"Jin Xinyue was indeed wrong, but she was quite pitiful, too. Think about it. A hundred years ago, she was a saintess of the demon race who shouldered the fate and future of all her compatriots. She was only a demon king, or rather, a Cultivator in the Core Formation Stage. Faced with the omnipotent giants who had controlled the old Federation for hundreds of years, did she have a second choice other than to lower her proud head and listen to them obediently?"
"Yes. She endured the humiliation, compromised, and worked so hard for so many things, but she received less than ten percent of the benefits. Most of the benefits were taken away by the renowned sects!"
"Jin Xinyue is innocent. A hundred years ago, she was a very kind and innocent girl. Otherwise, how could Vulture Li Yao, the legendary dominator of three Sectors, have recruited her as his disciple? She was Li Yao's disciple, and Li Yao was our great hero. So, she must be a good person! "
"It's a pity that Li Yao passed away too early. Without Li Yao's protection, how could a weak girl like Jin Xinyue protect the future of her compatriots alone against the storms of the outside world?"
"Those wretched giants took advantage of Jin Xinyue when she was most vulnerable after losing her master and threatened her with the future of the demon race. They forced her to do so many bad things!"
"Jin Xinyue didn't have a choice. She was too pitiful!"
"I was born in the demon race. I was a real citizen of the Federation, but I was always proud of my bloodline! It was only today that I realized that in order for us Yao Clan to obtain equal rights as citizens, Jin Xinyue actually carried so many heavy burdens in secret. And those rich and powerful sects that should belong to the old era are actually despicable and shameless to such an extent! "
"I'm a demon, too. Right now, among the hundred billion people in the Federation, there are almost thirty billion demons. We will definitely support Jin Xinyue. We will never allow any major sects to ride on our necks and treat us as their lackeys and lackeys!"
"We will only pledge our loyalty to the Federation and fight for the Federation. We will never be used by these rich and powerful sects again, and we will never allow our leader, Jin Xinyue, to be used as a puppet by these rich and powerful sects again!"
"I am not a demon, but I am from the Crystal Sector, one of the 'four new Sectors' that the core worlds mentioned. I absolutely support the opinion of my compatriots of the demon race. The Xing Yao Federation belongs to all the people of the seven Sectors, not to the renowned sects and ancient families that have been left from the old era and are no longer used to the development of the new era!"
"There should be new sects in the new Federation, new sects that can truly represent the interests of all the people of the seven Sectors!"
Such discussions swept across every corner of the grand-unified Spiritual Nexus in only a few days like a surging tide and a super storm.
As the investigation went deeper and deeper, those rich and powerful sects and cultivation families with hundreds of years of history entered the sights of the independent investigation team one after another. New scandals were exposed almost every day, causing the public to be dumbfounded and furious. At the same time, it also proved that the above statements were correct.
The market reacted strongly to the incident of the 'Dim Moon Plan'.
The performance of the renowned sects in the core worlds and the sects that they were associated with was plummeting and collapsing like an avalanche in the financial market.
It was needless to say that the leadership of a lot of sects and the parents of the families of Cultivators were involved in the incident. They had been or were about to be investigated.
According to the sources, the serial scandals that had been exposed to the public would certainly bring a 'great reshuffle' to the Federation on both the economic and political levels.
The ancient giants that had existed since the founding of the old Federation hundreds of years ago and had continued and expanded to this day like dinosaurs were very likely to be dismantled and reorganized.
After the dismantling and reorganizing were completed, their influence on the new Federation would certainly plummet.
To some extent, it was a 'change of dynasty' that was both coincidental and natural.
The old conglomerates and interest groups were destined to withdraw from the stage of history together with the name of the 'old Federation', and the new conglomerates and interest groups would rise like the rising sun and continue to illuminate and defend every inch of the land of the new Federation!
At this moment, although the voting had not officially begun, the election had been settled in advance.
Ding Ling Dong, the Patriots Front, and the new world were the greatest beneficiaries of the whole incident.
The ancient sects in the core worlds that had been haunted by the scandals were already too busy to care about themselves. They were only thinking about how to get away with dignity. They were unable to compete with the forces behind Ding Ling Dong and the angry people who were on Ding Ling Dong's side when they were betrayed.
The twelve most authoritative media outlets in the Federation made predictions on the result of the election. The odds that Ding Ling Dong would be elected had increased to more than eighty percent, and the odds that Jin Xinyue would be elected were less than seven percent.
For the first time, such an almost absurd prediction did not receive too many objections.
Even the most loyal supporters of Jin Xinyue, the 'hardcore demons', had to admit that Ding Ling Dong was more suitable than Jin Xinyue to be the Speaker of the Federation and lead them to defend the light.
Because of a certain subtle mentality, or rather, because of the subtle manipulation of public opinion online, the public seemed to have entered the era of 'Speaker Ding Ling Dong' in advance.
Their concern for Jin Xinyue was no longer whether or not she could become the Speaker, but whether or not she would voluntarily withdraw from the election, whether or not she would lose the protection of the 'minister of development', and whether or not she would be formally investigated and even sent to prison.
After all, the Federation was a law-abiding organization. The greatest difficulties could not shake the authority of the law.
If a certain 'director' had been manipulating the entire 'big avalanche' behind the scenes, she had calculated almost every detail precisely so far.
Except for one thing.
However meticulous her calculations were, she could not have foreseen that 'Team Red Lotus' was not the real 'Team Red Lotus' but twelve old monsters from the Ancient Sages Sector who were at the peak of the Yuanying Stage and even in the Divinity Transformation Stage and who had been living in the unpredictable, chaotic battles of the Ancient Sages Sector for hundreds of years!
If Team Red Lotus had been just Team Red Lotus, a bunch of ignorant experts of Jin Dan who had hibernated for hundreds of years, or the beginning level of the Yuanying Stage at best, it would have been impossible for them to see through the girl who claimed to be 'Moonfall's sister'.
However, after 'Moonfall's sister' entered the eyes of the twelve experts of the Ancient Sages Sector by walking right into their trap, the sharp-eyed, sophisticated, and sophisticated old monsters all saw through her after only half a day.
She was lying.
…
The carrier, painted with the emblem of the Star Ocean Republic, was slowly sailing to the 'Hundred Flowers Space Zone', a transfer station for the jump of the seven Sectors of the Federation. They would directly jump to the capital of the Federation after a brief resupply.
Inside a secret chamber on the starship, 'Team Red Lotus', or rather, the twelve old monsters, including Li Yao, were analyzing the changes in the Federation in the past half month.
They were not as surprised as some people on the Spiritual Nexus who thought that the Federation would be doomed after such a great scandal.
It was just a power struggle among the leadership. Not only had they seen a lot of it, many of them had even participated in it in person and never felt bored. Long Yangjun, Han Baling, and Emperor Phoenix, for example, were all experts in the field.
The key question was not the power struggle among the leadership of the Federation, but whether or not the struggle was chaotic and out of control, or whether it was intentional and controllable. Was it a revolution that could unite the people and increase the combat ability of the Federation, or was it a war that could tear apart different groups, expand conflicts, and weaken the combat ability of the Federation?
If it was intentional and controllable, who was directing everything behind the scenes?
That person would be the real dominator of the Federation in the future. If they really wanted to negotiate with the Federation about the terms of joining the Federation, they should talk to that person.
"The little girl is lying. Even if all the information stored in her jade chip is true, she is lying herself, too."
Han Baling, the 'classic militarist' of Ghost Qin, who could have overthrown the Great Qian Dynasty and unified the Ancient Sages Sector if Li Yao, Heiye Lan, and the rest of them had not interfered, said casually, "She has received very professional and sophisticated soul training, which gives her a very high control over her brain. She can fool general lie-detector magical equipment and specialists easily, but naturally, she cannot fool the eyes of the fellow Cultivators here.
"She is lying. She said that 'Moonfall' was killed and that she fled to our place in a hurry. Those are all lies. The whole thing was not leaked out 'accidentally' and went out of control. It was all planned in advance. The purpose of the plan was to kill all the renowned sects in the core worlds!
"There is no doubt about the conclusion. Let's cut the crap. What we should focus on now is who is manipulating everything behind the scenes?"
Long Yangjun's eyes were beaming with brilliance. She smiled and asked, "What's your opinion, Fellow Cultivator Han?"
Han Baling activated a light beam through his mini crystal processor. "It's very simple. Whoever gains the most from the whole thing is the mastermind behind everything.
"No. I'm not talking about Ding Ling Dong. Ding Ling Dong and the Patriots Front couldn't have snuck into Jin Xinyue and obtained so many critical files.
"Please take a look, everybody. This is the list of the top hundred super sects of the Xing Yao Federation. It is divided into two parts. Those marked in red on the left side are the sects that have been mired in the swamp and seriously weakened by the scandal. Those on the right side are the sects that are barely affected, or at most, but are not affected by the scandal.
"Let's analyze them carefully. Have you found anything?
"Look, everybody. The sects on the left side that have been affected and seriously weakened are almost all the traditional, deep-rooted, wealthy, and powerful sects that have been passed on for hundreds of years.
"Those on the right side are the Glorious Sunlight Group, the Double Dragons Union, the Mountain Sea Sect, the Great Horn Exo Society, the Iron Plateau Development, the Blood Demon Biological Nerves, the Blood Demon Pharmaceuticals … The sects and groups that have barely been affected are almost all 'new forces' that have risen in the past hundred years!
"Those new forces are the biggest beneficiaries of the incident. It is not hard to imagine that, in the near future, they will completely surpass the traditional magnates and establish a new era that belongs to them!
"Do the new forces have anything in common?
"Of course. I believe that you can easily tell that the Glorious Sunlight Group, the Double Dragons Union, the Grand Horn Logistics, the General Chamber of Commerce of Iron Plateau, the Blood Demon Biological Nerves Research Center, the Blood Demon Biological Nerves Research Center, and the Blood Demon Pharmaceuticals are all deeply connected, and all the connections can be traced back to one person!
"Hehe. If I were to give the new forces a common name and regard them as an interest group, it would be very simple.
