The rampant rumors on the internet had disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed in the first place!
The group entered every forum and browsed from top to bottom but they could not find any posts related to the massacre.
This was a very strange thing. Everyone looked at Lu Haoran in bewilderment.
"Sir, those rumors … have all disappeared."
Lu Haoran's expression froze, and then the corners of his mouth slowly raised into a meaningful arc.
'As expected, I was right. '
Every word and action of the Domain Master was filled with hidden meaning. His action earlier was a signal to Lu Haoran that he was going to attack the Demon God's Cave.
Even though Lu Haoran had no idea what method the Domain Master used to wipe out the tide of public opinion online, he could imagine that it was an incredible method! Just like how he used the computer game to transport himself to the Locust God's ruin.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Lu Haoran glanced at the number. It was from the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He accepted the call.
"Minister Lu, just now, Lihe, Xisi, Austria, and other western countries have contacted us. They said that they were threatened by the Demon God's Cave and had no choice but to help them on the internet. Now they have realized their mistake and are willing to apologize to us." The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sun Lei, said.
When he first received the apology from those countries, Sun Lei was confused. He knew that other than the Demon God's Cave, there were many other countries who were secretly involved in the tide of public opinion online. Even if Gengok found evidence to expose this kind of dirty deed, for the sake of their country's reputation, they would deny it. Who would have thought that they would take the initiative to apologize to Gengok? Had the sun risen from the west?
Then Sun Lei was shocked to realize that the rumors that were still trending on the internet a second ago had disappeared without a trace in the next second. Combined with the abnormal behavior of the western countries, Sun Lei understood that there was an abnormal supernatural force behind this, so he quickly contacted Lu Haoran to inform him.
"…"
After communicating with Sun Lei, Lu Haoran's expression became even more complicated.
It was obvious that the reason why the western countries had apologized was because of the Domain Master. While he had deleted the rumors online, he had also punished the relevant people who had spread the rumors. Even the senior officials of those countries had been frightened. All of this had been hinted at in the Domain Master's smile.
Lu Haoran originally wanted to slowly explore the Domain Master's background through his contact with him, but now he realized that his thinking was too naive. The existence of the Domain Master itself was a mystery, and it was impossible for him to understand it. The more he knew about him, the more he felt that he knew nothing.
What kind of conditions would Gengok have for such an existence that could strike fear into the hearts of the Western countries?
What would happen if Gengok failed to fulfill his conditions?
Lu Haoran began to worry about the upcoming negotiations between the Grand Secretary Of State and the Domain Master.
…
At noon that day, under the command of Tan Duanya, the soldiers finally completed the seal of Hell's Gate.
Leaving the soldiers to guard the seal in the Kunlun Mountains, Tan Duanya himself took a private plane to Dragon City, and he did not rest for a moment.
He knew that the Domain Master in Dragon City was no less dangerous than Hell's Gate.
Knowing that the Grand Secretary Of State was coming, Lu Haoran asked his subordinates to stay in the van and continue to observe the Domain Master, while he went back to meet with the Grand Secretary Of State.
Before the negotiations began, he had to inform the Grand Secretary Of State of the information he already had, or else he would be in a passive position.
The helicopter landed directly in Dragon City's municipal building, and only a few residents of Dragon City witnessed this scene.
"Grand Secretary Of State, how did you get injured so badly?"
In the closed conference room, Lu Haoran asked worriedly.
When Tan Duanya came down from the private plane, he sensed that the spiritual power in his body was in disorder, clearly a sign that his origin was seriously damaged. However, there were many people present at that time, so Lu Haoran did not rashly ask about this. Now there were only him and Tan Duanya in the conference room, and the content of the conversation was absolutely confidential.
Tan Duanya smiled faintly and said, "The situation was urgent before, so I never told you. The Hell's Gate in the Kunlun Mountains is actually not a god's relic, but an abyss channel that connects to other worlds."
Lu Haoran was shocked when he heard this. He did not know the secret hidden in the Kunlun Mountains.
Tan Duanya continued, "The Hell's Gate is full of evil creatures from other worlds, and many of them are even stronger than the ancient gods. I was just exploring the edge of the area, and my origin was injured by those evil creatures, so I had to retreat."
"If the evil creatures walk out of the Hell's Gate and descend into the real world, they will definitely attack our world. When that happens, we will have to use nuclear weapons to fight them."
At this point, Tan Duanya felt helpless. Using nuclear weapons was a method of mutual destruction, but other than that, humans had no other way to deal with it.
"Fortunately, the Five-colored Stone I obtained from the Mount Tai relic has a very powerful sealing effect. Conservatively speaking, it can seal the Hell's Gate for twenty years, leaving enough time for all of humanity to prepare."
"But Grand Secretary Of State, your injuries …" Lu Haoran hesitated.
Origin damage was a very serious injury, and it was irreversible. There was no way to cure it. If it was light, one would not have long to live, and if it was serious, one would die on the spot.
"The injuries on my body are incurable." Tan Duanya calmly replied. There was no sadness in his calm expression.
"I can only live for a month at most. I only hope that in the last moments of my life, I can continue to contribute to the country. After today's negotiation with the Domain Master, I will head to the western continent to eradicate the Demon God's Lair. I will leave everything else to you."
Listening to the Grand Secretary Of State's tone that sounded like a dying edict, Lu Haoran felt a great sadness rising from the bottom of his heart. He was silent for a moment, and tears filled his eyes.
"Haoran, it is human nature to grow old and die, there is no need to feel sorry for me." Tan Duanya said with a flat smile.
"Speaking of which, you did gain a lot from the Locust God's ruin. Even though you lost sixty years of your life, you gained thirty years of spiritual power. I thought you wouldn't be able to see through my injuries, but you saw through it with just a glance. Your current power is not much weaker than mine."
"Tell me more about your understanding of the Domain Master."
