The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 1087: Suppression & Outrage

Although the emergence of the crystal realm in the Dark Horizon caused many higher-level divine beings to pay attention to it and even suspect its potential connection to the Myriad Sea God Palace’s future crisis, there was also a good portion of True Divinities that dismissed it.

After all, the Myriad Sea God Palace faced no shortage of True Divinity-rank threats, given its vast territory.

The boundless cosmos was home to all kinds of dangers and opportunities. Space regions with True Divinity-rank danger weren’t exactly common, but they weren’t rare either. Some had even become the training grounds of True Divinities.

As such, the addition of one True Divinity-rank dangerous region wouldn’t be enough to startle the top powerhouses of the Myriad Sea God Palace, especially if it was only low-level True Divinity-rank.

Such a level of danger would only concern the True Gods; it wouldn’t affect the Heavenly Gods.

Even if the crystal realm evolved into a middle-level True Divinity-rank dangerous region that could affect Heavenly Gods, the Myriad Sea God Palace still had twelve Empyrean Gods to hold the fort.

They were the true masters of the Holy Land.

"The crystal realm’s emergence is certainly a cause for concern. However, I’m afraid the venerable Empyreans won’t take it too seriously."

"That’s not surprising. The crystal realm has only been graded as a low-level True Divinity-rank dangerous region. To the mighty Empyreans, this level of threat is far beneath their concern. In fact, they might even welcome it as a new cultivation zone for the True God-level True Divinities."

"Sigh... The crystal realm was just formed, and its danger grade has already reached the low-level True Divinity rank. It’s hard to imagine how much more dangerous it’ll become once it’s given time to mature. We are better off eliminating this threat immediately."

"Unfortunately, that’s no longer our call to make, Vice Outer Palace Master. The jurisdiction of the crystal realm has already been transferred over to the Core Palace. We can only focus on the Golden Generation now."

Even if the Outer Palace Master and the Vice Outer Palace Master wanted to convince the True Divinities to eliminate all the threats, their words held no weight and wouldn’t stir any waves in the Core Palace’s sea of decision-making.

"The Golden Generation, huh? Undoubtedly, every Noble Being of this generation has the potential to become a True Divinity one day. However, that still takes time to achieve. More importantly, becoming a True Divinity is one thing, and becoming a True Divinity powerful enough to alter the Myriad Sea God Palace’s fate is another."

"That’s true... things are not looking optimistic for us, based on the Golden Generation’s current rate of progress. Perhaps our traditional methods aren’t suited for the current generation of Noble Beings and are actually holding it back?"

"Perhaps. The lack of pressure might be hindering the young Noble Beings from growing as fast as they could be," the Outer Palace Master thought.

While it was true that the Noble Beings, under the protection and care of the Myriad Sea God Palace’s special privilege program, grew much faster than their peers, they also missed out on the tempering of life or death trials.

As such, none of the previous generations of Noble Beings had grown as fast as they could have.

After all, life or death situations could stimulate one’s potential to their limits, but it was also something that the Noble Beings had limited experience of, or none at all. Ṙ𝘈ŊȰ𝐛ΕṠ

However, no one could be blamed for withdrawing the Noble Beings from such experiences.

Given the exalted status of Noble Beings, which was greater than the kings and emperors of the Myriad Sea God Palace’s myriad races, who would dare to gamble with their lives even once, let alone repeatedly?

"Fortunately, it’s not too late to correct our mistake. I heard the current youngest has refused his special privileges. Since that is the case, we should honor his decision and let him enjoy the full experience of cultivating without them," the Outer Palace Master thought.

However, the Vice Outer Palace Master hesitated before asking, "Should we at least warn the others not to go far?"

"Why should we?" the Outer Palace Master glanced back nonchalantly and said, "How can the Youngest still enjoy the full experience of hardship if we limit the actions of his rivals and competitors?"

"But..."

"I understand your concern, Vice Palace Master. I feel the same. However, the Myriad Sea God Palace’s future grows dim by the day. We can no longer remain conservative. We have to trust that our disciples won’t cross the bottom line."

"Hmm... Alright."

...

While Vaan was taking the express water route to the Mermen Domain, his millions of subscribers on Pomposity suddenly found themselves outraged when they couldn’t view his live-stream.

[Access restricted]

[This channel is currently under review due to a large number of reports on suspicious activities.]

After seeing such a message, Vaan’s subscribers immediately took to the forums to complain.

"What the hell? I can’t watch Lord Vaan’s live-stream anymore because many people have reported his channel for suspicious activities? What a load of seahorse shit!"

"I understand that those Mola-brains opposing Lord Vaan are just jealous of his rapid popularity, but what the heck are the admins doing? How can they not differentiate genuine concerns from malicious reporting?"

"Isn’t it obvious? The administrators of Pomposity are in cahoots with the mastermind of the malicious-reporting group. Either that or they have been bribed to do it!"

"That’s blatant oppression! How can something like that be allowed?! Pomposity boasts of impartiality, yet its administrators dare to act in their self-interests? Such selfish actions must have broken some of the Holy Land’s rules and should be punishable!"

"Not necessarily. They’ve acted within the grey area. After all, Lord Vaan’s account was frozen, not banned. They are restricting access under the guise of investigating the authenticity of the channel. If there’s no problem, access will naturally return."

"That’s ridiculous! It’s uncertain how long they intend to hold the channel hostage for investigation. As far as we know, they could keep holding it for as long as they want, giving us nonsensical excuses like prolonging the investigation due to increasing reports!"

"We need to boycott Pomposity!"

"We are only a minority of users. Would our boycott even have an effect on a behemoth platform such as Pomposity?"

"This... I don’t know..."
