"Holy crap, am I seeing things, or are these photos actually not photoshopped?!"

"Aren't these demon beasts the ones that just spoke online, inviting people to seek refuge at their famous mountains, as long as they pay elixirs as tuition?"

"Awesome! That's not just tough talk, they went straight to settle it."

"Has the country stepped in now? I knew those demon beasts had ulterior motives, trying to get us to kill each other or freeze to death along the way. What a bloodless strategy, yet so many people believed them!"

After these posts appeared, their confident and domineering statements, despite being just a simple sentence, made the whole internet boil over. Everyone cheered, and people no longer doubted their confidence in surviving the Ice Age.

Those accounts that were previously praising the demon beasts and speaking good things about them basically went silent after this.

No one knows if the ones behind those accounts were human or demon.

If they were demon beasts, they must be panicking now, no longer responding isn't surprising at all.

"Hey, did you notice that the original poster mentioned Dragon King Hall, not Great Xia Dragon Sparrow?"

"Yeah, I noticed it too. What organization is Dragon King Hall? Or is it a department of Great Xia Dragon Sparrow?"

At this moment, many started to notice the self-reference in those posts wasn't Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, but Dragon King Hall...

After all, it was just a short sentence, not a lengthy essay, and netizens easily noticed these differences upon close reading.

Thus, some people started to speculate if Dragon King Hall is a department under the "Dragon" division, with another "Sparrow" division called "Vermilion Bird Platform"?

Everyone found this quite reasonable.

However, accounts that were analyzing the photos of demon beasts saving people earlier posted some educational content showing that the demon beasts had no other choice.

"Dragon King Hall is not a department of Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. Actually, you could say it the other way around. Strictly speaking, Great Xia Dragon Sparrow isn't a subordinate division of Dragon King Hall, but it was supported by them..."

"Dragon King Hall appeared as early as a thousand years ago. According to various traceable materials, it was founded during the Tang Dynasty to protect the people and stabilize the Nine Provinces, and this mission remains unchanged. It could be said to be the true guardian god of Huaxia!"

"In the dark web, Dragon King Hall has long been referred to as one of the world's top ten organizations along with other major organizations, which is far superior to Great Xia Dragon Sparrow."

"A year ago, due to the revival of spiritual energy, the world underwent great changes. Previously docile animals began mutating into ferocious beasts and demon beasts. To help people survive in such an era, the new Dragon King approached the nation and provided various cultivation methods, which led to the establishment of an official organization, Great Xia Dragon Sparrow!"

"Only then did Great Xia Dragon Sparrow promote the nationwide martial cultivation program, enabling everyone to cultivate and strengthen their bodies from a young age. Without this policy, we would have lost many more lives!"

"Moreover, in the past year of spiritual energy revival, you should remember several extremely horrific town massacre incidents, right? The ones who finally dealt with those demon beasts weren't Great Xia Dragon Sparrow people, but Dragon King Hall..."

"Actually, think about it; humans can't evolve as quickly as demon beasts just relying on spiritual energy. Only through cultivating and using cultivation techniques can it be done. Having only established Great Xia Dragon Sparrow a year ago, of course, they need to grow slowly; how could they possibly continuously exterminate all those troublesome ferocious beasts? Only Dragon King Hall, developed over a millennium, possesses the power to do so..."

"Also, the elixirs distributed to save lives earlier were actually provided by Dragon King Hall..."

This account's educational content wasn't spoken carelessly; he attached various materials and substantial evidence that proved his statements were truthful.

People were astounded upon seeing this evidence.

They finally realized that the person behind this account was genuinely a big shot!

And they never expected that the truth was so far removed from their beliefs—that Dragon King Hall was not part of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow's dragon department. Instead, Great Xia Dragon Sparrow was established with Dragon King Hall's help.

And those ultimate experts they once believed subdued the rampaging demon beasts weren't from Great Xia Dragon Sparrow but from Dragon King Hall. The credit was falsely taken by Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.

Dragon King Hall remained this low-key.

Until now, when people once again faced an Ice Age and the threat of extinction, Dragon King Hall finally emerged from the shadows, aiming to thoroughly conquer all Huaxia's famous mountains to serve as their refuge!

This truly was an instance of hiding one's time and making an earth-shattering debut!

However, while some cheered joyfully over their salvation, equally excited people curiously asked why Dragon King Hall kept silent about its merits in the past, letting them misunderstand that Great Xia Dragon Sparrow did these great deeds.

The original poster directly replied that Dragon King Hall did not care about trivial matters like these, nor did it care for the people's gratitude...

Someone else asked why the original poster revealed these truths now, potentially preventing Dragon King Hall from keeping a low profile?

The original poster replied that since Dragon King Hall had already identified themselves in those posts, it made sense for someone like him, with insider knowledge, to educate people and clear Dragon King Hall's name.

Further, someone asked why Dragon King Hall, despite having the power to conquer all the nation's famous mountains, did nothing over the past year and only eliminated the most ferocious beasts?

"Is it because Dragon King Hall wishes for harmony between humans and these ferocious beasts, or does it believe we are too weak, leaving these beasts and demon beasts to motivate us—giving us a goal to strive for?"

"Perhaps they considered both? After all, some demon beasts are indeed good-hearted."

As those questions arose, more people, amidst their excitement, started focusing on these issues, discussing them among themselves.

The original poster replied simply, "It isn't as complicated as you think. A year ago, Dragon King Hall encountered some turmoil. After imparting cultivation methods to Great Xia Dragon Sparrow to implement the national martial cultivation policy, the Dragon King went to a secret realm space. Without the Dragon King, Dragon King Hall was leaderless, and they could barely hold on against those demon beasts and other adversary organizations!"

"Then why can Dragon King Hall now conquer all the famous mountains?"

Without the original poster replying, someone straightaway said, "Isn't that simple, because the Dragon King has returned!"

Other netizens responded:

"The Dragon King returns; I am the Dragon King; I shall crush all enemies of this world!"

"The Dragon King returns, fulfilling the year-long promise—demons, ghosts, and spirits, get the hell out of here!"

"..."

A crowd started playing with the Dragon King joke, showing that their mood now was far from the anxiety of previously waiting to die at home.

And shortly afterward.

A large number of posts appeared, originating from those accounts that declared they would conquer the national famous mountains not long ago. These posts also featured people of few words but strong actions, attaching photos and brief sentences.

"All Spirit Mountains in Min Province have been conquered. Photos below..."

"All Spirit Mountains in Guangdong Province have been conquered. Photos below..."

First, the famous mountains of the southern provinces and regions were conquered with proof and evidence. Then, these accounts continued to post; the famous mountains of the northern provinces and regions were also conquered...

"We have conquered the famous mountains across all 34 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions!"

"Please do not risk going out; we will soon send people to transport you to the mountains for refuge!"
