Chapter 476: Excitement and Fear
People from across the world watched as Lu Xuan became more powerful and terrifying than before. The sight caused them to somewhat shudder.
Despite having only returned just recently, he was already able to almost single-handedly quell the commotion that the demons stirred up. Had he not stepped in, the incident would have most likely turned into a calamity. In that case, the demons would have managed to reach Fu City and eventually seal the spatial rift.
The governments all across the world had no idea what to think of such a terrifying ent.i.ty that had saved the Earth and humanity several times over.
Some were very vocal about how dissatisfied they were with him. They claimed that everything, including both incidents with the demons and the monsters, was connected to Lu Xuan in some way.
However, everyone knew that all of those incidents had been from the phantom menace that existed within the planet itself. Regardless of whether or not Lu Xuan prematurely made them happen, the incidents would have eventually become a major problem for the Human Alliance.
What made the governments wary was how the Myriad Demon Valley suddenly became humanity’s ally. They had yet to understand their motives for siding with the human race.
However, it was still true that Lu Xuan’s sudden return coincided with the sudden change of att.i.tude seen in those from the Myriad Demon Valley; they had ceased all hostilities against humanity and sided with the humans.
It was inevitable for the governments to think this way. Based on everything that had happened, the gist of their speculations was that someone else took control of the Myriad Demon Valley.
That new master was none other than Lu Xuan himself.
While that was still just a theory, the thought itself was more than enough to terrify the governments.
The Myriad Demon Valley was a goliath of a force, powerful enough to take on the Human Alliance. It would have been easy for them to snuff out any single one of the former nations.
Lu Xuan had always been undisputedly powerful but only as an individual with n.o.body under his command. At present, the power of the Myriad Demon Valley was also added to his already enormous power, possibly making him powerful enough to destroy any former nation, which included giants like the United States and Russia. Now, he gained even more power by taking control of the Myriad Demon Valley. That itself possibly made him powerful enough to destroy any former nation, including bigger ones like the United States and Russia.
That kind of force was completely different from that of Yunxuan Villa. While the villa was still powerful altogether, it still consisted of humans and was connected to humanity. The villa would’ve had no problems snuffing out a couple of cultivation forces.
However, if the villa were to actually destroy a nation, such a deed would have most probably drawn the ire and fury of all in the world.
On the contrary, there was no need for such concerns involving the Myriad Demon Valley. If Lu Xuan truly was the Myriad Demon Valley’s new master, there was no doubt that he would’ve gained enough power to easily destroy a powerful nation.
The monsters and the demons from the Myriad Demon Valley would most likely carry out such orders without any hesitation.
All of that meant that Lu Xuan himself did not just become more powerful over the past five years when he was missing. He had also managed to conquer the Myriad Demon Valley, gaining powers more than a hundred times that of his own.
If the world’s top fighter gained command of the world’s strongest fighting force, it would’ve resulted in enough power to make everyone feel worried and terrified.
Lu Xuan, whom the government deemed an SSS cla.s.s hazardous ent.i.ty for a long time, would’ve most likely gained yet another “S” on that hazard level after he returned. He would’ve been a powerful ent.i.ty that had never been seen before.
Regardless of what the governments thought about his return, the news of his return quickly spread all over the Internet like wildfire.
Lu Xuan, the hero of humanity from several years ago, was alive this whole time. When he returned yesterday, he put an end to the demon’s schemes!
All of Huaxia, along with the rest of the world, was thrown into an uproar.
Many people lost sleep over the news and were informed of the impactful news as soon as they went to work in the morning.
The last piece of news regarding Lu Xuan came in five years ago, which told everyone that Lu Xuan had single-handedly put an end to the demons’ schemes and killed Ao Chen the old dragon.
No further news regarding Lu Xuan came in the next five years afterward. n.o.body knew just how much of a commotion that his sudden return had wrought.
Except for the Huaxians, the other governments saw Lu Xuan as some kind of unpredictable variable. Even so, countless common folks still saw him as a hero.
He quelled the schemes of the demons back then, and he quelled yet another one today. It could be said that he had saved Earth twice from a major crisis.
Only a few people were alerted by the battle the previous night, anyone who watched the videos of the battles could tell just how alarming things had been back then.
They saw just how terrifying the demons from h.e.l.l truly were; their strength far exceeded the common folks’ imaginations.
Countless reporters headed to Fu City as soon as they could. With no way of getting into Yunxuan Villa, they were only able to gather in nearby areas. Along the way, they took footage of the armed forces cleaning up the dead bodies of the fallen demons.
“I knew that everyone would definitely lose sleep over this news. He is our hero after all.”
“Lu Xuan has saved humanity twice now! He’s a true superhero!”
“It’s truly a blessing for us humans to have such a superhero in such tumultuous times!”
Countless were reveling in excitement for a time as almost everyone celebrated Lu Xuan’s return.
The last threat that could’ve endangered the entire world and all of humanity was that of World War II. Since then, humanity had never gone through such tumultuous times.
Humanity desperately needed heroes in such trying times. There was no doubt that Lu Xuan was qualified to be one such superhero.
He became the superhero that everyone had wanted.
Everyone was excited, with many people wanting to see Lu Xuan right away more than anything.
However, they were still unable to meet Lu Xuan under such circ.u.mstances.
The Internet was raving about Lu Xuan’s return, while countless people from the Regions of America and Europe trembled in fear over the news.
“How could Lu Xuan still be alive? That’s impossible!”
“I don’t believe this at all! This has to be fake news!”
“Oh sh*t, it looks like we’re doomed!”
Countless were furious and angry over the news.
There was no doubt that many people were terrified by Lu Xuan’s existence alone.
The man had robbed the Regions of America and Europe of their lead regarding the world and improved the Region of Huaxia’s status almost all on his own.
Since then, he became an eyesore to many people. n.o.body knew exactly how many people wanted nothing more than to see him ripped to shreds.
However, everyone still knew just how terrifying he truly was. Those who hated him knew how terrifying he was.
Those people had unleashed a horde of countless demons in Fu City, yet it still was not enough to exterminate Yunxuan Villa.
Lu Xuan was even able to quell the whole thing through his power alone.
That was something that they deliberately pulled.
While those who were involved knew full well about this, n.o.body else did.
Common h.e.l.l summoners could not have been powerful enough to create a stable spatial rift and summon a practically endless horde of powerful demons from h.e.l.l.
They gathered the powers from those two regions, searching through all the ancient texts and figuring out all kinds of ways to do so before they came upon that scroll.
That scroll itself was an extremely precious power item, which had been left behind by the forces of h.e.l.l when they last invaded the planet in ancient times. They left such a thing behind when they were last repelled by the forces of Earth’s civilizations so they could return in the future.
