This sudden incident has served as a wake-up call for all levels of leadership.
At this critical juncture, they couldn't care less whether these guys were bewitched by the Heavenly Demon or genuinely wanted to incite chaos.
Li Guofeng adopted Wang Zheng's suggestion: in chaotic times, severe punishments should be used! He directly defined these guys as cultists and regarded them as the biggest destabilizing factor within the organization.
Once discovered, they will be arrested immediately and given a baptism of divine light. If the person is stubborn and cannot change their mind or resists on the spot, law enforcement officers have the right to kill them on the spot, depending on the circumstances!
Citizens who report crimes, provide clues, or assist in the arrest will be offered a substantial reward and their protection level will be raised.
This series of combined measures, along with the public execution of many cult members and the public exposure of the opposing side, finally suppressed this trend and quickly quelled the domestic unrest before it escalated.
Looking at the chaotic situation abroad, the situation is a million times more complicated than in China.
Not only did the entrance to the grotto fall, but the regime collapsed, and the rulers acted arbitrarily. The surviving people were treated as food and sacrifices.
At this moment, Old Li was still shaken.
The situation was already difficult with external threats still unresolved; if these guys were to further distract us, the consequences would be unimaginable.
In fact, there are many people with the same despicable thoughts in chaotic times, both at home and abroad. Seeing that many people in North America also believe in the Heavenly Demon and thus quickly gain power, making the local situation even more chaotic, Li Guofeng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
It must be said that, given the current situation, the so-called Demon Extermination Alliance is now defunct in name only.
On the entire planet Earth, only China remains struggling to survive, and only China can still be considered a complete nation.
If it weren't for the swift suppression of domestic instability, China might have descended into internal strife...
Given how things have developed, it's impossible not to feel worried.
However, Old Li did not give up. Even if only China remained, he would protect it to the death!
Unfortunately, determination cannot change anything. Just three days later, the external pressure increased again. Even with Young Master Wang frantically checking and filling gaps outside, the battle line at the cave passage was stretched longer and longer, and it looked like it was about to break down.
Despite the unity and fearlessness of all the soldiers of China, they still fell into a disadvantage against the elusive and ever-flowing army of the Heavenly Demons.
Even more seriously, due to the constant erosion by the Heavenly Demon, the concentration of spiritual energy on Blue Star began to drop drastically, and various recovery methods became increasingly inadequate.
Although demons will always leave behind demon crystals after being dissolved by holy light, these pitch-black crystals are often absorbed by their companions immediately.
Even if they are recovered by the soldiers on the front lines, the efficiency of humans absorbing and converting them is extremely low.
Moreover, since most of the foreign countries had already fallen, the Heavenly Demon Army, which had freed up more resources, began to focus its attention on China, the last pure land on this blue planet.
Not only have they increased their troop strength at the entrance to the cave, but large numbers of low-level demons are also constantly hiding their forms along the border, trying to infiltrate China and dismantle this last resistance from within.
Under such dire circumstances, more than fifty entrances within China began to fall one after another. In the end, this once vibrant planet regressed, becoming even weaker than it was 30 years ago when spiritual energy had just begun to recover.
Faced with the overwhelming force of the Heavenly Demons, the sanctuaries near the front lines were either breached or lost contact.
As it turns out, under overwhelming numbers, the so-called elemental barriers and various protective mechanisms can only hold out for a little longer.
Left with no other choice, the various small cities near the wilderness that had not yet had time to establish teleportation arrays were abandoned one after another, and all the survivors were gradually settled in the main cities of the major provinces.
All the soldiers in the military region also withdrew one after another and began the most arduous passive defense.
In this race against time, countless soldiers and civilians fell during the evacuation. The Chinese people, who had been under protection, learned for the first time just how terrifying the creatures their country was fighting!
Amidst this turbulent time, the human alliance suffered repeated defeats.
As the saying goes, heroes emerge in times of chaos.
The vast majority of awakened individuals unleashed astonishing combat power.
Perhaps it was a matter of life and death, and this place was blessed with good fortune.
Countless awakened individuals who practiced visualization techniques were pleasantly surprised to discover that, in addition to the supernatural abilities brought about by the holy light talisman, the gods they manifested also actually unleashed extraordinary power.
Although they didn't understand these phantoms, the energy emanating from these visualized objects was undeniably real.
Some of these can help with recovery, some can increase damage and defense, and some can even gain the approval of the gods, allowing one to be possessed by a deity for a short period of time, greatly enhancing one's strength.
Only now did Wang Zheng truly understand that the fact that this visualization method could be developed under such circumstances a few years ago might not have been without the help of the will of Heaven.
Or perhaps this visualization method was a product that arose out of necessity.
After all, so-called gods are the product of human faith. Although this world lacks a corresponding history, at this moment, this may well be a special effect brought about by the Heavenly Dao in order to make up for the deviations in history in order to meet the calamity.
The Ferocious Beast had explained long ago that the so-called Heavenly Dao is the basic rule and operating method of this world, and that the other party has thoughts.
If this world were to end up like that grotto-heaven, then the Heavenly Dao would naturally cease to exist.
Therefore, whether for the sake of the beings on Earth or for his own sake, this world is on the opposite side of the Heavenly Demon...
