The Age of Panic!

Dream World.

Li Yuan extended his enormous finger, and countless spiritual Silk Thread extended down from his palm, connecting to Yang Lin's body.

He was the one driving this body's actions, while Yang Lin's soul, or rather his consciousness, was no longer in that body.

His soul is in Li Yuan's hands.

Yang Lin's consciousness sank into the deepest part of the dream, as if he had fallen into the deep sea, sinking little by little.

The deep sea had no end, and he kept sinking, as if countless hands were pulling him down little by little into an even deeper abyss.

Beneath the deep sea, a pair of enormous eyes silently watched Yang Lin's descent.

One day, a new world conference was convened, presided over by the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"We have decided to disclose information about the Containment Object to the general public."

"People have the right to know what situation they are facing now, and we must unite to fight the foreign enemy!"

There were no dissenting voices at the meeting, and the proposal was unanimously approved.

Because Li Yuan used his Mental Power to corrupt the minds of everyone present.

Soon after, information about the monsters was made public, and one after another, these terrifying monsters were described as world-ending natural disasters.

The Lord of the Red Flow the Blood Mist Calamity, Leviathan, the Abyssal Behemoth from the deep sea, and the Chagga Insectoid Race from another planet.

The Frost King who freezes time and space, the immortal progenitor of the Blood Clan, and the primordial split entity 009 who can continuously create monsters.

As information about the monster was revealed one by one, many people were first puzzled, then excited, and then panicked.

They were excited because they knew this world was no longer ordinary; their world contained superpowers; they lived in a magical world.

Their yearning for supernatural powers excites them.

But after the excitement came an indescribable fear.

The initial excitement was fleeting. When they realized they weren't the main characters, but just ordinary people being trampled to death by monsters and natural disasters, they began to feel fear.

During this period, the Lord of the Red Flow and a host of monsters began to appear in front of ordinary people, as if to cater to the Nine-Tailed Fox.

The information about the monster was confirmed, and panic swept the globe, ushering in an era of panic for humanity.

However, just a week later, a powerful message was released.

In the shadows of the world, there exists an organization that acts as humanity's protector, constantly fighting against these monsters in the dark.

Monsters have existed since ancient times, and it is these people who have risked their lives time and time again to seal them away.

They are the Nine-Tailed Fox. Human peace is built upon the sacrifice of the Nine-Tailed Fox. The Nine-Tailed Fox are great, the Nine-Tailed Fox are sacred, and the Nine-Tailed Fox are the guardians of humankind.

When a person is drowning, they will desperately grab onto anything they can, even a straw.

The Nine-Tailed Fox was that straw; Nine-Tailed Fox became humanity's hope and was officially brought to the forefront.

The monsters were puzzled after learning this information.

This is not the style of Nine-Tailed Fox; something is amiss, and there must be something sinister at play.

What is the Nine-Tailed Fox trying to do?

Are you planning to give up entirely?

But what's the point?

Or is this not the Nine-Tailed Fox's intention at all, but the Hand of the Serpent's?

The Hand of the Serpent secretly controls the Nine-Tailed Fox is almost universally known among the Sequences.

So, what exactly does Meng Qing want to do?

Somewhere in East Asia.

Ye Long followed a person to this place. He stood in the sky, with a bottomless ravine beneath his feet.

This rift valley seemed to connect to an abyss, and even with Ye Long's extraordinary eyesight, he couldn't see the end of it.

"Come out. Since you deliberately lured me here, stop hiding."

As soon as Ye Long finished speaking, large swaths of Blood Mist suddenly condensed in front of him.

These Blood Mist converged in one place, forming a massive, nearly thousand-foot-tall humanoid silhouette.

The blood-red mist-like entity stood firmly on the ground, the red mist flowing like water, like fine sand, and slowly dissipating.

"Ye Long, even now, you still haven't remembered who I am?"

Ye Long looked at the red mist in human form, "Anyway, it's not the Li Heng I know. You are the Lord of the Red Flow."

Li Heng nodded, "That's right, I am Hongliu. Don't you want to protect humanity? My thoughts are the same as yours."

"Now, an opportunity is right in front of you, Ye Long."

"By assisting the Nine-Tailed Fox, we will restore true peace to the world."

Ye Long's expression remained indifferent. "Is this the Sea King's intention, or yours?"

Is there a difference?

Yes, and fundamentally so.

"That's what I mean," Li Heng said.

However, Ye Long did not believe it. "If you were truly devoted to humanity, you wouldn't show yourself in front of others. You and the Nine-Tailed Fox are putting on an act to bring all the monsters into the open. Do you need me to expose you?"

"What you want is not peace, what you want is domination."

"This time, however, you've changed your approach, shifting from force to justice. The ideal you're pursuing is nothing more than letting humanity live in fear, allowing monsters to coexist with humans without them even realizing it."

"Once this situation is achieved, it will only take a little time for humanity to naturally become slaves to fear, develop a fixed mindset, and eventually willingly accept being dominated."

Li Heng couldn't deny Ye Long, but...

"Isn't this the peace and stability you've been seeking? No human will die from the struggle of the order, and your power will only grow stronger."

"You can also transform into the guardian deity of humanity. Imagine, when all eyes are on you, the faith and hope they hold will make you stronger than ever before."

Ye Long laughed, "A beautiful assumption, a cruel reality."

"I can help you, but you must make sure Sea King leaves his head as a sacrifice to my mother's spirit in heaven."

Is that really the case?

The Sea King killed Ye Long's mother and climbed up by stepping on Ye Long's corpse. Ye Long still couldn't forget these things.

Ye Long is clearly the most suitable candidate, but he just can't be associated with the Sea King.

"An expected answer."

"Unfortunately, although you are very capable, you cannot integrate with us, so we have no choice but to ask you to leave."

After Li Heng finished speaking, several figures quickly rushed over and surrounded Ye Long!

The Queen Bee descended from the sky and said, "If it can eliminate the dragon first, I will naturally give it my full support."

The Insects appeared in the form of a giant centipede. "Ye Long, see what I told you? If one day you stand against humanity, I'll be able to stop you, lest you build a great empire and regret it later, right?"

The Insects's words have come true; Ye Long has now taken a stand against humanity.

Because Li Yuan was standing behind humanity.

Did they start plotting to join forces and eliminate Ye Long back then?

The Hydra's massive form crawled out from beneath the rift. "Has the fighting begun?"
