Listening to the busy tone from the phone.
Elder Long's face completely froze.
Ao Yuan shook his head and gave Elder Long a look of helplessness.
His expression seemed to say, "See? It's not that I'm not giving you face!"
"There's new information!"
Just then, Dai Xiaomei exclaimed in disbelief, looking at her phone.
Everyone turned to look, seeing Dai Xiaomei's shocked expression.
"What news?" Ao Yuan asked calmly.
Dai Xiaomei glanced at the people around her, then took a deep breath and said, "Just now, warriors from all countries around the Pacific have been fully mobilized, and all forces have entered a state of first-level alert!"
"Hiss~"
Bai Feng inhaled sharply and cursed, "What do they want to do! Do they really want the world to be plunged into ruin?"
A state of alert was only initiated when one country was about to engage in battle with another.
And a first-level alert signified that the situation left no room for negotiation.
"Continue!" Ao Yuan glanced at Bai Feng, his tone still very calm.
"Moreover... moreover, the United States has declared that its nuclear weapons are on standby."
"And the launch site is precisely our Mount Tai!"
"What! Does the United States want to go to war with our Great Xia!" Elder Long could no longer hold back.
Nuclear weapons were the most formidable weapons on Planet Blue!
If a nuclear bomb were to be dropped on Mount Tai.
Mount Tai would be razed to the ground, and even Mount Tai City and its surrounding areas would not be spared.
And the impact of a nuclear bomb was not limited to that; the subsequent radiation it brought was the most terrifying.
"I'm going to call John Klissn right now and ask him what he wants," Elder Long said, pulling out his phone in anger.
"Elder Long, do you think it's necessary now?" Ao Yuan asked.
Seeing Ao Yuan's continued calmness and nonchalance, Elder Long felt choked.
He finally put down his phone and remained silent.
Yes, if John Klissn had been willing to discuss, why wouldn't he have answered his call earlier?
He truly intended to put Ao Yuan to death!
"Continue reading," Ao Yuan turned to Dai Xiaomei and said.
"The countries around the Pacific have offered terms: as long as Daidai surrenders the supernatural powers of the Joseon country, all their associated demonic beasts will surrender."
"The associated demonic beasts will enter designated areas in the United States and other countries for custody by each nation, and Daidai will be at the beck and call of the United States and other countries for ten years. Only then will they quell their anger!"
"They said they are only giving 12 hours for consideration."
"If you don't come to them, you'll bear the consequences!"
"Roar~ Impossible!"
Before Ao Yuan could reply, Ao Guang was the first to roar in anger.
Who knew what schemes the United States was hatching?
Furthermore, to be at their beck and call for ten years, what kind of international joke was this!
And going to designated custody, who knew what they would do later.
Just thinking about it made it impossible.
"Dragon God, why don't we charge directly into the United States?" Golden Fur Monkey suggested.
"That's right, that's right!"
"Who's afraid of whom!"
"We demonic beasts, after all, are creatures born from Planet Blue, are we afraid of them!"
"Dragon God, please give the order, I'll be the first to charge!"
Numerous demon kings echoed the Golden Fur Monkey's words.
As they spoke, a ferocious aura emanated from them.
Unexpectedly, Elder Long and Bai Feng remained silent this time.
It wasn't that they didn't want to advise Ao Yuan.
It was that they genuinely felt the United States was being too overbearing.
If they were in Ao Yuan's position, the outcome would likely be the same as the demon kings suggested.
At worst, it would be a fight to the death!
After the final clamor, all their gazes converged on Ao Yuan.
Their eyes were filled with burning fighting spirit.
It seemed that as long as Ao Yuan gave the order, they would immediately charge into the United States for a fight to the death!
However, facing their gazes, Ao Yuan's expression was extremely calm.
His eyes were like a deep ocean, distant, profound, and boundless.
There was only an absence of ripples.
"Twelve hours!"
Ao Yuan raised his eyes, neither saying he would act nor that he wouldn't, but cast his gaze into the distance.
Where dark clouds gathered and rain poured, while beyond that area, the sky was clear and blue.
It was incredibly eye-catching.
At the same time.
The internet exploded over this matter.
They never expected that they were just spectating.
But as they spectated, the situation completely changed.
It was on the verge of battle.
"What is the United States thinking!"
"Do they really want to fight? My heavens!"
"Daidai, you must not act rashly!"
"Don't be afraid, Daidai, we are all behind you!"
"They wouldn't dare do anything!"
The netizens in Great Xia overwhelmingly supported Ao Yuan.
After all!
The vast majority of people in Great Xia were dissatisfied with the United States, the hegemon of Planet Blue.
But when this matter was reported by foreign media, netizens from various countries applauded.
"Hahaha, the United States is mighty, it should have been like this long ago."
"If you ask me, why give him 12 hours to think? Just launch the nuclear bomb and eliminate him!"
"A mere demonic beast dared to bully our United States before, it's truly courting death!"
"Exactly, exactly, our United States is the boss, we only bully others before."
"How dare others bully us, damn it!"
...
And the countries led by the United States were all overjoyed, almost ready to pop champagne to celebrate.
Because!
In their view, Ao Yuan would surely back down this time!
If he didn't, the consequences would be unbearable for him.
But as time ticked by.
Ao Yuan still hadn't arrived.
One hour.
Two hours.
...
Five hours.
Eight hours.
...
The other countries remained patient, waiting for the 12-hour deadline.
Han Yibang, however, went from initial excitement to being on pins and needles, and finally, he wished he could rush to Mount Tai and beg for mercy.
Because...
Within these eight hours, the situation in Joseon country became increasingly dire.
Some cities located at lower elevations had already been completely submerged by the flood.
Even if Ao Yuan eventually surrendered, Joseon country had already suffered heavy losses.
Let alone standing up in the future with the resurgence of spiritual energy, they would probably have to beg for the hope that no small world would appear within Joseon country.
Otherwise, only destruction awaited them!
Mount Tai.
Ten hours had passed.
It had been a full ten hours since the United States issued its declaration of war against Ao Yuan.
During these ten hours, Ao Yuan had stood on the spot without moving.
No one spoke, and they stayed with Ao Yuan.
Just then.
Ao Yuan, who had been motionless, suddenly moved.
He slightly turned his head in a direction and murmured, "It's time to go!"
...
