The group trapped with Lin Tianming all came back safely, putting the minds of teachers and senior officials from all domains at ease.

Especially the teachers and high-level representatives from the Beiyin Domain, they no longer had to worry about becoming the enemy of the entire world.

Once Jiang Han's emotions had stabilized, everyone left the Red Sea Secret Realm together.

Back at the competition venue, Jiang Han showed Lin Tianming a warm smile: "Friend Tianming, considering what happened this time, when we go back, don't bother with the canteen food. Just tell me what you'd like to eat. I'll see if I can get you some nice ingredients and make you some proper Jiuzhou cuisine, to really replenish you!"

"Sure, Teacher Jiang Han!"

Lin Tianming was quite touched to have a teacher who cared so much about him.

Having been preoccupied with Lin Tianming's well-being just now, Jiang Han turned to Ye Qingxue and the others after her mood had stabilized.

"You girls, come along later as well, and try my cooking, consider it a way to help settle your nerves!"

Hearing there was food, Ye Qingxue temporarily forgot her jealousy.

"Alright, thank you, Teacher Jiang Han!"

Feng Lan, Meng Xiyue, and Nan Xin'er also politely thanked Jiang Han.

Lianghua, Alice, Sofia, and Lilith, not being from Jiuzhou, were unsure if Jiang Han's invitation included them.

"You're also friends of Tianming, and if you would like to come, you're welcome too. But first go report your safety to your own teachers," Jiang Han said.

Jiang Han, understanding their hearts, saw that the four of them also seemed eager to join but were too shy to ask.

With her invitation, Lianghua and the others showed happy smiles.

"Thank you, Teacher Jiang Han!"

After her words, they also went to report their safety to their respective teachers.

The people from the Beiyin Domain, upon seeing the atmosphere had finally relaxed compared to before, exchanged glances and decided to take this opportunity to address the crowd.

"My friends here, although there were some hiccups on the opening day of the Global High-level Awakening Academy Competition, fortunately, in the end, no one was hurt or lost. This can be considered a blessing amidst misfortune.

For the distress caused by this incident, on behalf of the Beiyin Domain officialdom, I apologize to everyone present.

We ask our friends from all domains to continue to enjoy the two months of competition with a relaxed mindset.

The Beiyin Domain officials promise to our friends from all domains that an incident like this Demon invasion will absolutely not happen again during the competition!"

Even though Lin Tianming and the others returned safely, thinking about the ordeal in the Beiyin Domain Heavenly City still spoiled Jiang Han's mood.

An official promise from the Beiyin Domain?

Take it with a grain of salt!

Jiang Han had been quite happy, smiling.

But when she heard the voice from the Beiyin Domain side, her expression darkened.

It wasn't just Jiang Han whose expression turned sour, everyone present from various domains had developed a severe trust crisis towards the Beiyin Domain due to this Demon invasion.

The Beiyin Domain, being considered the world's foremost Awakened force, was facing for the first time such visible displeasure from many people since they became the Overlord.

Usually, even if some were suppressed by the Beiyin Domain, people from other domains dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

This shows how this Demon invasion has damaged the image and position of the Beiyin Domain.

The senior Beiyin Domain official who spoke was well aware of this, but he continued his topic nonetheless.

"Now that all the participating students here have returned safely, in order to appease this global event as much as possible, I hope everyone, considering the Beiyin Domain's active rescue efforts from the onset of the incident, will keep the events that happened here confidential after they leave.

To the public, the official stance will be that the Demon was a new type of trial added to the Red Sea Secret Realm, and that its difficulty has been strictly vetted by the officials, posing no harm to the participating students.

We hope everyone can understand, in order to maintain stability and peace in every domain, this is necessary to avoid unnecessary global panic."

Upon hearing that the Beiyin Domain officials wanted them to keep silent about this significant incident, representatives from all domains around the world fell into a brief silence.

Clearly, they wanted to tell the truth.

Why should they cover for the Beiyin Domain after such a major incident that they themselves had caused?

"Nice words, but in the end, the Beiyin Domain simply doesn't want to make a global official apology for this incident! They claim it's to maintain stability across all domains and avoid global panic.

At the core, it's still the arrogance ingrained in their bones at play!

The global overlord-level The First Awakened Force thinks they can bully anyone they like. An apology from them?

That would be no different from killing these arrogant fools!

If it weren't for Jiuzhou's rapid rise and the emergence of a top combat power like Jiang Han, Jiuzhou would also be subject to the Beiyin Domain's bullying by now.

Seeing that no one at the scene spoke up, the high-ups from the Beiyin Domain began their usual manipulations.

"Friends from the Southern Yin Domain, you should agree with the decision we in the Beiyin Domain have made, right? This is also for the peace of all domains!"

Towards the end, the Beiyin Domain high-up deliberately emphasized the word "peace."

These seemingly friendly words are in fact a naked threat!

On site, the Southern Yin Domain and Sakura Island were the weakest.

The Beiyin Domain high-ups surely wanted to start by squeezing the softest fruit, before putting pressure on Jiuzhou.

The people from the Southern Yin Domain had changing expressions, uncertain how to respond.

Now that the students from all domains across the globe have come out safely, without justice as their backing, they could not keep deadlocked with the Beiyin Domain as before.

Moreover, most importantly, without a major force leading the way, they, the Southern Yin Domain, a force existing within the cracks, definitely couldn't be the first to speak out.

The Beiyin Domain high-ups, seeing the people from the Southern Yin Domain afraid to come forward, immediately regained the confidence of a global overlord.

"Our Beiyin Domain has always had good relations with Sakura Island; surely Sakura Island can understand our approach this time, right?"

This time, the pressure fell on the people from Sakura Island.

Like the Southern Yin Domain, if there isn't a major force taking the lead, they can only passively accept the Beiyin Domain's plan.

"Most of the Beiyin Domain people are descendants of the Xiluo Domain people. Our relationship can be said to be the closest, blood is thicker than water, and I believe that the Xiluo Domain will definitely make the most correct choice!"

"Throughout the globe, the Holy City of the Central Holy Domain has always been the most sacred pilgrimage destination for believers of the Light God, whether it's the Bright Holy Sect or the Holy Light Sect, we in the Beiyin Domain also have quite a few believers. I believe the birthplace of belief in the Light God also does not wish panic to spread across the globe, right?"

The Xiluo Domain and the Central Holy Domain, already count as major forces, each had their own glorious past.

But today, if they want to compete with the Beiyin Domain, they are still a little short.

Lilith looked at Lin Tianming from Jiuzhou and whispered to her companion Fiona.

"Teacher Fiona, if Jiuzhou refuses the Beiyin Domain's proposal, we must support them!"

From the Central Holy Domain, Sofia also whispered to her teacher.

"Teacher, don't trust the Beiyin Domain; we've been tricked by them countless times. If Jiuzhou refuses the Beiyin Domain's proposal, we must support them this time!"

The pressure finally came to Jiuzhou, an Awakened force that is second only to the Beiyin Domain, not counting Jiang Han.

"A year ago, the Beiyin Domain also sent our first-year prodigy, Alice, to visit and study at the Imperial City's Great Emperor Academy in Jiuzhou, and thus the Beiyin Domain and Jiuzhou can be said to..."

However, this time, before the Beiyin Domain high-up could finish speaking, Lin Tianming forcefully interrupted him.

"The Beiyin Domain officials must hold a public press conference for this Demon invasion incident, and in front of everyone from all domains around the world, make a public and sincere apology!"

Following Lin Tianming's statement, his teacher Jiang Han and everyone from Jiuzhou were stunned.

They didn't expect him to be so bold as to interrupt the speech of a Beiyin Domain dignitary.

Although Jiang Han was ready to refuse the Beiyin Domain high-ups' arrogant proposal, the task that should have been hers was taken on by her cherished student Lin Tianming.

Observers from other domains, waiting to act according to the situation, were also stunned.

Even if they were to refuse, shouldn't it be Jiang Han, the strongest in Jiuzhou, doing the refusal?

The representatives of the Beiyin Domain high-ups, after a moment of shock, had very ugly expressions on their faces.

Interrupting the Beiyin Domain representative's speech in front of representatives of all domains globally is an outright slap in the face.

If they can't make Lin Tianming pay the price for this today, how can they continue to act as a global overlord-level Awakened force?"
