Press Conference! Becoming the World's Enemy

As a sliver of dawn broke, the Main Star-Sucking Tree had indeed grown more Star Fruits.

Gu Qijue, along with Huolin Nana, slaughtered over a million Star-Sucking Monsters on the tree while frantically harvesting.

Over a million fruits, under Gu Qijue's sweep.

It still took two hours.

Then, Gu Qijue launched his strongest attack directly at the tree.

He discovered he couldn't even leave a scratch.

Even using Black Flame couldn't ignite it.

"Just as the Old Turtle said, can only Mu Yuxin truly harm this tree?"

Gu Qijue mused, and left with Huolin Nana.

Returning to the shelter, Gu Qijue stored 800,000 Star Fruits in the warehouse.

Just as he emerged from his bath, Bai Jingyi arrived.

"President Gu, look at the news!" Bai Jingyi said with some gravity.

"What news?"

Gu Qijue, wearing only a bathrobe, sat on the sofa, picked up the wine glass from the table, took a sip, and said calmly.

Bai Jingyi remained silent, instead picking up the remote and turning on the TV.

Today, she was wearing a white professional OL outfit, which perfectly accentuated her mature and sexy figure.

[This is the Hidden Dragon Empire, Emperor Abyss Group channel. Today, there is a matter concerning the existence of the Star Blue Continent, the existence of humanity, and the survival of all evolved monsters, which must be announced to all intelligent beings worldwide!]

[This city is our Hidden Dragon Empire's Yun City.]

[This is the center of Yun City.]

[Do you all see this colossal tree?]

[I believe many are wondering what kind of tree it is.]

[Here, I solemnly tell you all, this tree is named – the Main Star-Sucking Tree.]

[Star-Sucking, as the name implies, is a tree of destruction that specializes in devouring the core of a planet.]

[The roots of this tree have already reached the core of the Star Blue Continent and are drawing out its life force. These are satellite monitoring images, do you see those roots?]

[If this tree cannot be destroyed, the Star Blue Continent will turn into a dead star in two to three years. At that time, whether you are human or an evolved creature, you will perish along with the Star Blue Continent.]

[How can this tree be destroyed?]

[First step, we must kill this person. This is a video. He is extremely powerful and is almost one with the Main Star-Sucking Tree. Without killing him, we cannot inflict damage on the Main Star-Sucking Tree. We must unite and eliminate him completely.]

[Second, we must rescue Mu Yuxin, whom he has imprisoned. This is her photo. Only her power can destroy the Main Star-Sucking Tree.]

[Some will surely suggest using nuclear bombs, but under the influence of the Main Star-Sucking Tree's magnetic field in Yun City, nuclear bombs are completely unable to enter Yun City's airspace and will fall.]

[I, Chu Yuan, President of the Emperor Abyss Group of the Hidden Dragon Empire, sincerely call upon all human powerhouses worldwide, and powerhouses among evolved creatures, to unite and eradicate the Black Dragon Emperor Gu Qijue!]

[The authenticity of this matter, I, Chu Yuan, guarantee with my character and my life, there is not the slightest falsehood.]

[The Star Blue Continent is like our mother.]

[Now that our mother is being harmed, how can we continue to fight amongst ourselves, to scheme and plot?]

[I, Chu Yuan, implore you all here.]

Last night, as Chu Yuan and his senior brother descended the mountain, the Old Turtle happened to find them.

As a precaution, the Old Turtle dared not let Chu Yuan go to test Gu Qijue again.

Therefore, this morning, such a news conference aimed at the entire world was held.

During the press conference, the Old Turtle also appeared and spoke at length.

Gu Qijue watched it all quietly, his face showing no anger, only surprise that the Old Turtle was alive again.

Bai Jingyi whispered, "President Gu, is this true?"

Gu Qijue took a deep drag of his cigarette and said calmly, "It's highly likely true. I've truly become the enemy of all humans and evolved creatures in the world now."

"Then... what should we do now? Can we withstand it!?"

Bai Jingyi said with some bitterness, "Inside the shelter, people are panicking! Ye Zhanguo and the others are wavering, thinking you are the harbinger of destruction."

"And you?" Gu Qijue looked at her calmly.

Bai Jingyi smiled, "I've boarded President Gu's ship, and I don't intend to get off."

Gu Qijue gave her a deep look and nodded, "Send out a broadcast. Whoever wishes to leave here, they can all go!"

"Good! I believe you."

Bai Jingyi nodded heavily, then left.

As soon as she was gone.

Huolin Nana arrived.

"Yo, President Gu, you're still in the mood for a drink!"

Huolin Nana was dressed in a tight red combat suit, her tall figure curvaceous. Beneath her short, ear-length hair, her charming and delicate face broke into a smile as she spoke.

Gu Qijue glanced at her and said, "Did you see the news? What did your president say?"

Huolin Nana sat down beside him and replied, "With this news out, who would dare not believe it? The president is under immense pressure and has been repeatedly confirming with Emperor Abyss Group. If it's truly finalized, then our Snow Bear Empire will probably have to..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.

"What about you? Are you going back too?" Gu Qijue didn't care about making enemies of the whole world.

He had no intention of fighting the world, but the world insisted on fighting him.

So, he could only fight his way to survival.

Only death awaited.

"Honestly, I'm very conflicted right now..." Huolin Nana said with a wry smile.

"It doesn't matter if you go back or not! If I die in battle, this world will be destroyed too, because Mu Yuxin's super patterns are in my hands in the severed palm, and she can no longer summon the Super Martial."

Gu Qijue said with a hint of madness, "Since they're not giving me any chances at all, let's all perish together."

If they had been rational and invited Gu Qijue to discuss how to stop the Main Star-Sucking Tree.

Instead of using such methods to make him an enemy of the world.

In the end, if there was truly no other way, Gu Qijue might have obliged them.

But now, they were giving him no opportunity at all.

So, let them all be destroyed.

"Is there really no room for maneuver? Can Mu Yuxin try to see if she can destroy that tree now?" Huolin Nana asked, unwilling to give up.

Although she had only spent less than one night with Gu Qijue, Huolin Nana had already come to regard him as a true friend.

Gu Qijue said calmly, "It's not fake. Now they only have two paths: kill me and perish together, or trust me. I'm no saint, and I'm about to die anyway, so whether the world is destroyed or not is of no consequence to me."

"You truly are a madman, but it's understandable. They're the ones who didn't give you a chance. In that case, I won't go back. I'll fight to the death with you!"

Huolin Nana said with a bitter smile, "If you win, there's still hope. If you die, then this world is truly finished."

"A wise decision!" Gu Qijue smiled faintly.

Having died once, Gu Qijue no longer feared death.

The next three chapters for today are here. Alas! The previous text touched on politics, so it needs to be revised, otherwise, I could have written another chapter.

I'll stop here and go revise the text. Thank you, my friends, for your monthly passes, recommendation tickets, and reward support!
