The scene became chaotic again, and if Fang Xiu hadn't been holding things back, some people probably would have already wanted to leave.
After all, there are so many things we want to do but haven't done, so many people we want to see but haven't met. We always feel that we have a long life ahead of us, but when the end of the world comes, we will find that there are just too many regrets.
Various comments appeared in the live stream chat.
"Not bad, I can stay with her for another month."
"That's great! Lily said she wouldn't be with me unless it's the end of the world. We're finally going to be together!"
"I miss my mom back home, and I want to eat dumplings."
"I've been craving durian for so long, but I couldn't bring myself to eat it. Finally, I can have it."
"It doesn't matter, I'll take action."
"A month is too short, there are still so many things in life I haven't tried yet, but a month is also very long, long enough for me to try things I would never have tried in my life."
"Upstairs, you'd better not be talking about illegal or disorderly conduct."
"It's the end of the world, why would you care about this?"
The scene of the press conference.
"Captain, I still can't understand why you can remain so calm when the world is about to end. Aren't you worried at all?" a reporter asked, holding up a microphone.
"Why should I worry?" Fang Xiu asked in return.
The reporter was visibly taken aback: "It's the end of the world..."
"It's going to be the end of the world, but when did I ever say that the Xia Kingdom would perish?"
Upon hearing this, the entire Xia Kingdom was stunned.
After a second of silence, the comments section erupted.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! What does the prophet mean by this?"
"Even if the world ends, will the Xia Kingdom survive?"
"Prophet: It doesn't matter, I will take action."
...
"Captain, do you mean that Xia Kingdom can survive this disaster? Could it be that you...?"
“That’s right, I have already seen the future.” Fang Xiu’s calm voice spread to thousands of households through the internet.
The previously chaotic and disorderly barrage of comments suddenly became completely unified and orderly.
"I can already see the future!"
"I can already see the future!"
"I can already see the future!"
Across the Xia Kingdom, some people even began to weep with joy and shout wildly.
Fang Xiu stared calmly at the camera, his extremely dark eyes seeming to penetrate the lens and see the person behind the screen.
"Xia Kingdom will be the only country to survive this disaster."
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Some foreign journalists at the scene couldn't sit still and immediately asked questions.
"Captain Fang, does your Xia Kingdom have any methods to deal with the supernatural phenomena? In the face of this great disaster, the fate of all mankind is intertwined. If you have any solutions, please share them so that all countries in the world can unite to fight against these supernatural phenomena!"
Fang Xiu shook his head slightly: "There is no way."
The foreign journalist grew increasingly impatient: "If there's no other way, why do you dare say that the world will perish and only the Xia Kingdom will survive?"
"Because I am in the Xia Kingdom, that's all."
"That's all...!"
His calm words carried an undeniable confidence, as if they were the truth of the world.
"The prophet is awesome! His voice cracked!"
"The Captain is so handsome! I want to have your babies!"
"Since a prophet has already made a move, I won't."
The comments section went wild.
Fang Xiu said this on purpose. He did not see the future, nor did he know whether the Xia Kingdom could survive the end of the world. But none of that mattered. In any case, if the Xia Kingdom could not survive, the prophet's identity would not be exposed, because everyone would be dead.
If he survives, then the prophet's identity will not be exposed.
He lied because he was sending a signal to the world that only Xia Kingdom was safe, and if you wanted to live, you should come to Xia Kingdom.
Because he needs a large population, people who provide faith, fear, lies, and even spirituality.
It can be said that population is crucial to Fang Xiu; if there is a sufficient population, his strength will increase exponentially.
People in the world aren't fools. Once they hear that only the Xia Kingdom can save lives, a large number of people will flock there. Even if some smart people realize that Fang Xiu's actions are a conspiracy, they are powerless to stop him.
People have a herd mentality, and the number of people will only increase as time goes on.
As populations decline, countries' defenses weaken, making it increasingly difficult to retain people.
This is the power of a prophet's name; a single word can bring a nation to the brink of destruction.
Fang Xiu continued, "In addition, headquarters will produce a batch of prophetic wooden tablets, each engraved with the name of a prophet. I will dedicate a portion of my power to them. Those who obtain the tablets can nurture the power within by worshipping them day and night, using it to provide early warnings or even save their lives in critical moments."
A prophetic wooden plaque!?
Everyone was shocked; they never expected such a thing to exist.
Clearly, Fang Xiu lied again.
His purpose in doing this was to gather the power of faith, and of course, it wasn't entirely a lie; the prophetic wooden tablets were indeed effective.
He planned to infuse it with a trace of nightmare power and a trace of angelic power.
As long as someone worships the prophetic wooden tablet day and night, they will gain faith in the power of the angels, and will also have nightmares, providing fear.
It's roughly equivalent to having nightmares every night, dreaming of being chased by eerie creatures, with fear reaching its peak, and then a prophet appears to rescue you, resulting in a win-win situation where you gain both fear and faith.
This is equivalent to Fang Xiu planting a seed for everyone. Although it will consume some power in the early stages, the harvest will be like a snowball in the later stages.
"Alright, that concludes this press conference. In preparation for the full-scale invasion from the other side in a month, all you need to do is desperately improve your strength. Remember, although the Xia Kingdom will not be destroyed, it does not mean that no one will die. The weak will eventually be eliminated."
