Brother Who Determines the Fate of the Nation: My Great Emperor's Cultivation Level Exposed by

On the forbidden island, Su Ruoruo listened quietly to their utterly hypocritical performance.

But another image clearly appeared in her mind.

Just yesterday, he was surrounded by countless vines of that E-rank Vine Demon and found himself in dire straits.

Not far away, Yukina from the Sakura Kingdom stood there, showing no sympathy whatsoever, nor any intention to offer any help.

She just stared at it coldly!

It was a kind of indifference towards things that were about to die.

She wished she were dead.

just now!

Her ally, however, came to her and asked her to save the person who had once wanted her dead.

How ridiculous.

Su Ruoruo looked at Alice's face, which was full of justice and urgency, and at Victoria's noble yet compassionate demeanor.

She neither got angry nor argued.

She simply parted her red lips and calmly and decisively uttered two words.

"No."

The air froze instantly.

Alice's mask of hypocrisy shattered at that moment.

She seemed to have never imagined that she would be rejected.

"What did you say?"

"Do you know what you're saying? That's a human life! Are you going to just stand by and watch someone die?"

Victoria also put away her handkerchief, her self-proclaimed noble face filled with disdain and anger.

"Cold-blooded Chinese! Don't you even have the most basic humanitarian spirit? You are barbaric and selfish."

"You will regret your decision; the whole world will see your indifference."

One after another, heavy accusations were slapped down without mercy.

Humiliation, accusation, and abuse.

Faced with all this, Su Ruoruo simply stood up slowly from the stone.

She didn't say another word.

Instead, he reached out his right hand and grasped the cold-light sword on his knee.

bass!

A soft hum, like the roar of a dragon.

The cold-light sword was drawn in an instant.

A chilling, bone-piercing sword aura suddenly burst forth from the clear sword blade.

Alice, Victoria, and the others who were at the forefront felt a sharp chill instantly penetrate their bones when they were hit by this sword energy.

They were horrified and took several steps back before regaining their balance, staring in horror at the girl with the sword.

At this moment, Su Ruoruo was still petite.

But that solitary, cold, and imposing aura made them dare not approach any closer.

"Yesterday, when she summoned Fujiki to try and kill me, where was your humanity?"

Su Ruoruo finally spoke. Her voice wasn't loud, but it clearly carried throughout the entire camp and into live streams around the world.

Her gaze swept over Alice, over Victoria, and finally settled on the distant lake.

"My sword is only for killing enemies."

"Never save your enemy."

She spoke each word clearly and decisively.

Finally, those eyes, burning with golden flames, locked onto Alice's face once more.

"roll!"

Su Ruoruo's cold and resolute "Get out!" was broadcast live across the entire planet, igniting global public opinion.

The Western media were the first to launch an attack, pounced on the attack immediately.

The United States' largest news network ran the headline in bold, blood-red during prime time.

"The Dragon's Cold Blood: A Choice Between a Sword and a Human Life!"

The royal gazette of the British Empire, however, wrote in a compassionate tone.

"When the light of humanity is extinguished in forbidden territory, we can't help but ask: Where will that ancient Eastern country lead the world?"

Articles with harsh wording, full of prejudice and inflammatory rhetoric flooded all mainstream media platforms in the Western world.

They portrayed Su Ruoruo as a selfish, cold-blooded butcher who refused to help those in need, and pointed the finger at the Dragon Kingdom behind her.

The official reaction from Japan was even more direct and frantic.

Their prime minister's official residence held three emergency press conferences in half an hour, each one more hysterical than the last.

"This is a crime against humanity! On behalf of all the citizens of Japan, we lodge the strongest protest against China!"

"We demand that the Dragon Kingdom authorities immediately issue a mandatory order to their chosen ones! They must hand over the magical artifacts and rescue Miss Xue Nai, who is in grave danger!"

"If anything happens to Miss Xue Nai, the Dragon Kingdom must bear full responsibility; this is unforgivable!"

Ten strongly worded diplomatic protest letters were sent to China, and international pressure reached its peak.

However, the emotions of 1.4 billion netizens in the Dragon Kingdom's live broadcast room remained frighteningly stable.

Faced with condemnation from all over the world, the comments section showed no sign of backing down or overflowing with self-pity, only an overwhelming tide of support.

"If it were done beautifully, these ungrateful wretches wouldn't deserve to be saved!"

"Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering. Where were you yesterday when you tried to harm Ruoruo, talking about humanitarianism?"

"Hilarious! They went and courted death, got bitten by a crocodile, and now they blame us for not saving them? What kind of robber logic is that!"

The official stance of the Chinese government is unprecedentedly tough.

At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' regular press conference, facing aggressive questions from foreign journalists.

The spokesperson simply adjusted his glasses calmly and responded in a clear and steady tone.

"Survival in the forbidden zone depends on individual ability; this was the rule established from the very first day the forbidden zone was established."

"China has no obligation or responsibility to pay for the stupidity and betrayal of athletes from other countries."

These words, broadcast live around the world, definitively declared China's stance.

Just as the outside world was arguing fiercely about this matter, and Japan was still clamoring to make China pay the price.

Above the forbidden island, the unchanging sky suddenly unleashed a crimson light.

A cold, grand, and emotionless announcement resounded throughout every corner of the Earth.

[The Chosen One of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, Yukina, has been devoured and killed by the D-rank ferocious beast, the Black Armored Crocodile.]

The punishment of the nation's fate is about to descend.

The moment the death notice was issued, a terrifying national punishment descended upon the land of Sakura without any delay.

In the deepest trench in eastern Japan, a geological fault zone that had been dormant for thousands of years suddenly collapsed.

A massive earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale suddenly erupted.

Immediately afterwards, a doomsday-level tsunami, hundreds of meters high, was stirred up from the seabed by terrifying energy and swept towards the bustling coastal cities of Japan.

Satellite footage revealed a horrific scene that would be unforgettable for anyone.

The black wall of water, with unstoppable force, instantly engulfed the city, the skyscrapers, and countless screaming, fleeing people.

Faced with the apocalyptic catastrophe, the people of Japan were as fragile as paper toys, easily torn apart and swept into the turbid waves.

The countless cries of agony and pleas for help lasted for less than a few seconds before being completely swallowed up by the towering waves.

The entire Cherry Blossom Country was transformed into a living hell in just a few minutes, with extremely heavy casualties.

The images of the disaster plunged the Japanese netizens, who had been clamoring wildly just a moment before, into a deathly silence that lasted for a full minute.

Then came utter madness.

The remaining netizens from Japan flocked to China's live stream like madmen.

They used the most vicious and vulgar language to engage in powerless cursing and venting.

"Baka! It's all your fault! It's all that woman from the Dragon Kingdom's fault! She killed Yukina, she destroyed our country!"

"Murderers! Your entire country is a murderer! You will pay the price in blood for the deaths of our people!"

"I curse you all, I curse Su Ruoruo, I curse all Chinese people! May you all die a horrible death!"

They hysterically shifted all the blame for the natural disaster onto Su Ruoruo's failure to come to her aid.

Faced with this overwhelming barrage of curses, netizens in China simply let out a series of cold laughs.

The next second, the sound of typing echoed in every corner of the Dragon Kingdom.

"Oh, getting worked up? Why weren't you this agitated when you were ostracizing Ruoruo?"

"You formed a team to go and die, got eaten by monsters, and then blame us for not saving you? Did your brains get washed away by a tsunami?"

"He brought this on himself, serves him right for drowning! Well done, crocodile, I suggest you get some extra food!"

"The price for paying back blood? Go ask your Amaterasu Omikami for it, and see if she'll even listen to you."

Each barrage of sharp, sarcastic, yet incredibly satisfying comments precisely pierced the lungs of every Japanese netizen.

Netizens from various countries were thoroughly amused.

This...this is going to infuriate the people of Japan!

Finally, a pinned gold comment ended the flame war.

"The Pacific Ocean isn't covered. If you feel wronged, you can jump in now and collect the corpses of your people."
