"The Greatest Demon in Human History!"

"Gao Xuan, the Most Handsome and Terrifying Butcher!"

"Devoid of Humanity—Butcher Gao Xuan!"

"God or Demon? Gao Xuan's Double Life..."

"Tsk tsk, those headlines are pretty sensational..."

Gao Xuan looked at the headlines spreading on the Celestial Net and laughed with joy. In less than a day, his Celestial Demon Relic had absorbed massive Spiritual Energy.

This wave of Spiritual Energy came so rapidly and densely, far surpassing the time he won the Sword Dao League championship.

To think, the Sword Dao League championship finale had a viewership rate of about 30% across the Alliance. Except for the Sword Dao League championship finale, no other program could achieve such an effect.

For example, the Alliance President's inauguration oath usually had a viewership rate of about one in ten thousand...

As you can imagine, the finale's viewership was terrifyingly high. The gathered Spiritual Energy was incredibly strong.

Now, just throwing out a few headlines, the entire Alliance was boiling.

There was no other way, it was truly astonishing.

The annihilation of the Black Banner Alliance pirates was a good thing. However, the killing of a hundred billion Black Banner Alliance civilians changed the nature of the incident.

No matter how interstellar culture evolves, the basic human empathy will not change.

So many innocent people being killed made all ordinary people feel uneasy. Their first reaction was to condemn the murderer's vicious cruelty. This was also instinctive, a psychological need to maintain personal safety.

The sanctimonious ones were mourning variously for the innocent lives lost, and condemning Gao Xuan all over the Celestial Net.

They are called "sanctimonious" because they don't care about mourning; they care about showing off.

If they can show off, it doesn't matter how many more people die.

Various critics began to criticize the Alliance's education for failing, that it could produce a demon like Gao Xuan, a disgrace to human civilization. All human leaders should commit suicide to apologize...

Then there were those who love to watch the commotion, who enjoyed the spectacle regardless of who died or how many people died.

However, Gao Xuan killed ten billion people, a crime against humanity. No matter how sharp or extreme, no scholar dared to speak for Gao Xuan.

Explaining for Gao Xuan now meant going against all humanity.

However, there was a large group of fearless girls who dared to stand against the entire Cosmos for Gao Xuan.

At a critical moment, the White Alliance stood up.

The phrase "Brother is Innocent!" became the White Alliance's revolutionary slogan. Clearing the brother's name was the White Alliance's revolutionary doctrine.

The various crimes attributed to Gao Xuan on the Celestial Net had no real evidence. At best, it was accompanied by an image of Gao Xuan sitting on the Pirate King's throne.

Gao Xuan, dressed in a mercury-colored robe, leaned back in a high-backed chair, his gaze distant, with a faint smile on his face.

The huge pirate skull emblem behind him looked exceptionally sinister.

In front of Gao Xuan on the hall, a few weapons were messily scattered, and faint traces of blood and damage could be seen on the black floor.

This photo was simple in composition and not complex in its expression. The true complexity was Gao Xuan himself; he sat in a relaxed posture, his expression calm, but his gaze was thought-provoking.

In this great and somber Pirate King's Hall, Gao Xuan's robe was too lavish, his appearance too handsome.

Gao Xuan and this hall were two different styles, placed together very discordantly.

However, Gao Xuan sitting on the throne naturally exuded a commanding aura. The obviously discordant composition was overshadowed completely by Gao Xuan's personal charm.

Anyone who saw this picture could feel Gao Xuan's god-like powerful charisma.

This photo also spread at light speed to every corner of the Alliance.

Besides the unenlightened children, probably 99% of the people in the Alliance saw this picture.

The coverage was terrifying!

The Alliance's population was too large, with each Star Realm having its culture, its preferences, its lifestyle habits.

Though nominally unified, the Alliance was essentially divided into different regions according to different Star Realms. The cultural differences between them were considerable.

Thankfully, there was the Celestial Net, allowing the entire Alliance to communicate through the network. Still, the Celestial Net was always divided according to regions and ethnicities.

Each Star Realm had high cultural barriers. Through these barriers, people differentiated between friend and foe, gathering into cliques.

Only a minimal amount of content could penetrate these numerous cultural barriers.

For example, the Sword Dao final, the Insect Race, the Evil God, and the greatest demon in history, Gao Xuan.

This very photo caused the White Alliance to unleash earth-shattering combat power.

For the White Alliance, beauty was enough. How could all those pirates possibly have been killed by their brother? Even if their brother killed them, they must have deserved it.

How could their brother be wrong? Whatever their brother did was justified!

Driven by this crazed belief, countless girls and women threw themselves into this Celestial Net war without hesitation.

The White Alliance had hundreds of billions of fans, far fewer than the total population.

However, the White Alliance was gradually uniting. Through powerful Light Computers, hundreds of billions of White Alliance members swept across all platforms like a wolf pack.

Almost no platform could contend with the hundreds of billions of fans.

No matter how many people liked to scold or ridicule, they were all fighting individually.

When people were happily scolding, White Alliance fans swarmed in, each leaving a message, "Brother is innocent, brother is the most beautiful!"

All the messages at the forefront were completely submerged. Video bullet chats were overwhelmed by waves composed by the White Alliance.
