After all, according to the previous plan, each country could only build base cities and erect high walls to allow humanity to enter the base era, and all excess territory had to be abandoned.

A large group huddled in a small area is a tremendous destructive force for wealth.

Although they were already considered superior people, they still enjoyed many privileges at that time.

However, once a time of scarcity arrives, everything they can enjoy now will be diminished.

This is not what they want!

Now, if we can train a large number of beast tamers, we can achieve a new balance with mutated creatures worldwide, and we won't have to live in isolation anymore.

This is what truly excites them.

As for the life and death of ordinary people, it is of course not as important as the enjoyment of life by gentlemen. If a large number of ordinary people die, they will definitely attend some mourning activities. This is already enough to show their respect when they come.

At this moment, Prime Minister Aoyama couldn't help but pour cold water on the idea:

"Everyone, I know what you all think. The emergence of Beast Tamers is indeed an epoch-making event, which will surely bring sparks and hope to human civilization. However, there are a few things I must say."

"First of all, according to the information we obtained from Detective Mori, to become a Beast Tamer, both Lord Miyazaki's secret technique and a mutated beast cub are indispensable."

"But putting aside whether the secret techniques can be popularized, and whether they have extremely high barriers to entry, these are all unknowns. Even the offspring of mutated creatures are extremely difficult to obtain."

"Judging from past battles with mutated creatures, obtaining cubs is extremely difficult. Herds will fight to the death to protect their cubs, and may even actively kill them at crucial moments to prevent them from falling into human hands. You should all be aware of these circumstances."

"More importantly, given our current relationship with Lord Miyazaki, it's uncertain whether he'll be willing to hand over the method to become a Beastmaster. It's best if you all don't be too optimistic."

After those words were spoken, a deathly silence fell over everyone; not a single person uttered a word.

Chapter 799 The Countries Numbed by the Shock

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

This is a sore spot that everyone subconsciously avoids, or that they think about but are unwilling to bring up.

The mere thought of it was unacceptable to them.

In Japanese politics, succession is very important. That is to say, the men who are active in politics at this time come from families where several generations have been officials.

In other words, the hereditary nature of power is extremely serious in Japan; all the current high-ranking officials are former government officials.

This has instilled in these officials a sense of superiority.

Deep down, they still regarded Miyazaki Yu as a lowly person. In their hearts, they saw themselves as a former daimyo of Japan and Miyazaki Yu as a samurai.

Logically speaking, it is only natural for a samurai to be loyal to a daimyo and serve him unconditionally, and he should not even have any complaints.

Now look what's happened. Just because of a few minor conflicts, they've developed resentment towards the government and these big shots, and are now keeping their distance from the government.

What is this? This is betrayal, this is rebellion, this is utterly outrageous! Its very nature is despicable!

But deep down, they were also afraid of this person.

Because Miyazaki Yu never shows mercy to them, whether they are Americans or Japanese. Anyone who crosses him will face certain death, without exception.

Even if you have unparalleled skills, even if you are unmatched in the world, we should just keep to ourselves and avoid each other. If we can't afford to offend you, can't we just stay away?

But a meteorite changed everything.

Meteorite radiation forced everyone to face life-or-death choices, caused mutations in animals, and severely impacted humanity's position as the most intelligent species.

Humanity may even need to shrink its defenses and build base cities as fortresses, which will become humanity's last stronghold.

What men hate most is drastic social upheaval.

Because every upheaval is a redistribution of wealth. The number of rich people or privileged classes may not decrease, but the people who possess privileges and wealth may no longer be the same group of people.

This is unacceptable!

What's even more upsetting is that the means to ensure their wealth and privileges remain in their hands are actually in the hands of someone they can't afford to offend.

They were extremely eager to try this method and came up with all sorts of ideas.

However, this is a piece of fatty meat that is visible but unattainable, because although fatty meat is good, it contains a deadly fishhook.

This swordsman has used the lives of countless people to prove just how powerful his sword truly is; anyone who dares to touch his blade will only face certain death.

"No, the method of beast taming belongs to Japan, to all of humanity, not just to Miyazaki Kensei. We must use the government's name to pressure him to hand over the beast taming method, or else..."

This guy, who couldn't help but jump out, was about to continue his eloquent speech, but he couldn't finish it halfway through.

He noticed that everyone around him was looking at him with cold eyes, so cold that he couldn't help but shiver.

That look was like looking at a dead person.

Nobody was stupid; they knew his current prestige and power across the entire planet.

Anyone who dares to utter the slightest word that is detrimental to him will be killed by his own people without anyone else having to lift a finger, and then his head will be used to appease the one who wags his tail.

After all, even getting the chance to wag your tail at that person would be an absolute honor!

Prime Minister Aoyama sighed: "Gentlemen, I don't want to hear such foolish words again. Right now, countries all over the world are trying their best to win over Miyazaki Sword Saint. Look at how well China is doing. They have established a good friendship with Sword Saint with sincerity. Sword Saint has also helped them many times and taken good care of China."

"On the contrary, Japan, as the Sword Saint's home country, has disappointed him time and time again, and in many choices, it has come to be on the opposite side of him. No wonder the Sword Saint has doubts about the government."

Therefore, I hope everyone can pull themselves together, show our sincerity, and let His Excellency the Sword Saint feel it. This is the best approach. As for any underhanded tactics, I hope everyone can stop, or you will bear the consequences.”

And this news spread to the world at lightning speed.

This was actually Miyazaki Yu's intention; he wanted all countries in the world to know that only with the cooperation of all countries could the Beast Tamer movement spread throughout the world.

As Miyazaki Yu had predicted, once again, all countries were shaken upon learning of these developments.

"What? A beast tamer? This person really dares to dream! And he actually did it!"

All the high-ranking officials in the country who learned of this were utterly shocked and completely stunned.

They were certainly aware of what would happen if this path were successful, and what changes it would bring to the world!

Genetic mutation, birth of alien beasts, genetic warriors, beast tamers!

These four words are destined to become heavyweight terms that cannot be bypassed in human history, and each one is destined to profoundly change the basic structure of a society!

American sociologists have predicted that the emergence of genetically engineered warriors will completely change the power structure and underlying power logic of human society, subtly causing unexpected changes in society.

The emergence of a Miyazaki swordsman will only bring limited changes to society. At most, it will create a god to be worshipped, but it will not fundamentally alter the way of life for all of humanity.

But genetically engineered warriors are different.

With this path, the powerful personal combat strength of gene warriors no longer relies on social division of labor and organization, but depends entirely on their own cultivation.

A powerful genetic warrior is like an ancient heavy cavalryman; he is an independent combat unit on his own.

Gene-engineered warriors may very well become de facto minor nobles.

They can accumulate massive social resources through their personal strength, and they can also gather people who want to survive to form small organizations.

Just like high-level cultivators in cultivation novels, they can create small cultivation families and become independent forces!

In doing so, the power structure of the entire human society was completely overturned.

The very existence of a nation may even undergo transformation, and some powerful gene warrior families may even become former emperors!

This reasoning article immediately sparked discussion among scholars from various countries after it was published.

Many sociologists have also published editorials to analyze the possibilities of these scenarios.

Leaders of various countries also attach great importance to this. As politicians, they are well aware that social changes are actually changes in tools.

If armor were still the best form of protection, and there were no guns or cannons, the world would still be a feudal society.

Now, with the emergence of genetically engineered warriors, society has gained an important variable, and everything will naturally change.

At this moment, beast tamers reappeared, adding another variable, leaving all nations speechless.

But all we can do is accept it and then start analyzing the possible consequences.

The undercurrents of the world are stirring once more!

Chapter 800 Scholars' Speculations

Inside the high-level conference room in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom.

Several holographic projections projected images of some of the attendees onto various seats in the conference room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today's topic is the impact of the emergence of Beast Tamers. I hope you will all speak freely."

The meeting was chaired by Minister Chen. His image on the projector was dressed in a sharp suit, with a few streaks of white hair that were neatly combed.

Everyone present nodded in agreement; in fact, they had requested today's meeting.

Some of them are experts and scholars in sociology, others are experts in economics, and still others are historians specializing in history.

Today, the world is undergoing dramatic changes, and these social transformations are closely related to their research. So they couldn't sit still and, after conducting a certain amount of research, they couldn't help but convene this meeting.

An elderly man with white hair stood up:

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me begin with a statement. I don't need to elaborate on the current state of the world; the emergence of mutated creatures has already had a profound impact on every aspect of society."

"All of you here are renowned scholars, and you certainly understand that society is a collaborative entity composed of people. The addition of each new variable brings about tremendous changes. From slash-and-burn agriculture to automobiles and telegraphs, and then to the changes of the information age, these are all microcosms of the same thing."

"At its core, it's about the magnitude of the impact humans can have on nature. Information then connects these impacts, creating an echo effect that gradually amplifies the influence, ultimately forming a powerful current of social progress."

He said with a serious expression, "However, none of these inventions have had as great an impact as what happened today. In the past, any tool could be considered an extension of some human ability. Cars, trains, and airplanes increased the radius of human activity, while telephones and emails made information transmission simple and fast."

However, human abilities still have limits, and the emergence of gene-engineered warriors and beast tamers completely shatters these conventional wisdom!

"And all of this was caused by that Miyazaki swordsman, without any reason. He is actually the biggest variable!"

His words were profound yet simple, and all the scholars couldn't help but nod in agreement.

The old gentleman's understanding was indeed very thorough; all his thoughts instantly grasped the essence of things, making people completely clear-headed.

"Mr. Li's words are indeed true. That Miyazaki Sword Saint can no longer be simply regarded as a powerful individual who has reached the pinnacle of immortality, but rather as an absolute factor that influences the entire world. I would also like to offer my opinion on the current situation."

"Judging from the current situation, Miyazaki Kensei will not sit idly by regarding the issue of human genes. The reason he only provided a treatment device and simply raised the price to gain greater profits in exchange for resources and secret information from various countries is not because he has a deeper purpose."

"Actually, we should look at these things together. While providing the gene repair equipment, he also disseminated the training methods for gene warriors, which led various countries to devote their efforts to cultivating the first batch of gene warriors."

"Then he created the Beast Taming Technique, giving ordinary people hope, which is something everyone can understand."

Everyone nodded in agreement. In a world where people possess extraordinary powers, everyone would crave them, just as the higher-ups in Japan imagined.

Once gene-engineered warriors emerge, they represent a potential privileged class that is already secretly growing in power.
