Chapter 393 - The Name of the Flower God Shakes Blue Planet
When the black dragon invaded Mystic City, it caused nationwide panic in Xia. Although it ended with it being sealed, and Xia repeatedly assured everyone that the seal would hold, the aftermath still had severe repercussions.
For example, the real estate market in Mystic City collapsed overnight. Even dogs wouldn’t buy property in Mystic City now. Countless businesses withdrew from the city. This place had become a land of misfortune, and everyone wanted to stay far away.
Even though many believed the Xia government wouldn’t allow the black dragon to break free easily or invade again, no one was willing to take that gamble. For months, Mystic City’s economy had been in shambles. Thus, the nation was more eager than anyone to resolve the black dragon issue permanently in order to reassure its citizens.
However, perfectly resolving the black dragon threat wasn’t easy. Defeating the black dragon after a 300-round battle would technically count as a resolution, but the collateral damage would be unacceptable for Xia.
The only true solution was to annihilate the black dragon in one strike, ensuring it couldn’t wreak havoc on the city. And that required the power of an Overlord beyond level 80 or even 90.
No one knew how far away that day was, so it was inevitable that the wealthy would flee Mystic City, and both domestic and international tourists would avoid it.
As one of the Twelve Zodiacs responsible for the beastmaster forces in Mystic City, Gu Qingyi had long been troubled by this. She had assumed that the one to ultimately resolve the black dragon crisis would be the old president. But to her surprise, it was the rookie who had just started his journey who stepped forward first.
“Step one of the plan—notify all nations and announce to the world that Xia now possesses the means to permanently resolve the black dragon threat. Step two—a global livestream of Manager Ying unsealing the black dragon. Step three—SIx-Path Flower appears, instantly annihilates the black dragon, and brings the problem to a close.
“SIx-Path Flower’s identity will be presented as the ‘God of the Amazon Rainforest.’ Xia will publicly declare that it has established friendly diplomatic relations with the Amazon, with SIx-Path Flower’s assistance serving as proof.
“This will not only alleviate the people’s fear of the black dragon but also elevate Xia’s global standing through its alliance with the Amazon.”
After Lu Ran finished explaining, both Gu Qingyi and Manager Ying found the plan flawless.
