Chapter 581

"Thus, I announce that the Third Demon-Slaying War has ended in a great victory!"

Lin Lao closed the screen behind him in front of a group of cameras,

and said loudly:

"Let us praise the Chief General!"

And this scene

was transmitted to every Dragon Country citizen through televisions and various live streaming platforms.

All Dragon Country citizens erupted with excitement!

Compared to previous Demon-Slaying Wars,

this one took the shortest time, but killed the most monsters!

Even,

it directly cleared the professionals’ old rivals, the Titan demon clan, from the stage of history!

The [Insect Mother Battlefield] no longer needed soldiers to guard it!

More than 80% of the military professionals, the moment Lin Lao announced the end of the war,

boarded flights from the Demon City to all parts of the country,

returning to their small homes

to reunite with their families.

For a time, the Dragon Country was as lively as the New Year.

Just as Lin Lao said,

thank the Dragon Country Chief!

Praise the Dragon Country Chief!

Passing through the array of the passage secret realm,

Li Yao appeared at the Some Jingyu Martial Academy.

Immediately, a student walked up to meet Li Yao head-on.

"Chief General!" The person’s eyes were filled with excitement!

This was the Chief General!

The much-talked-about Chief General!

Li Yao showed a look of confusion.

The student hurriedly said, "General, Lin Lao asked you to contact him once you came out."

"Alright, we are all students of Some Jingyu, just call me Li Yao."

The other party's respectful attitude made Li Yao feel somewhat uncomfortable, so he spoke up.

"Understood, Chief General," the student nodded quickly.

"Forget it." Li Yao picked up his communicator and dialed Lin Lao.

"Li Yao? How is your recovery?"

Li Yao walked toward the dormitory while smiling, "Not bad at all."

Lin Lao’s voice also carried a smile, "Oh? It seems the harvest was good. Do you have time now?"

"I do. What is it?"

Lin Lao: "Come to the headquarters building. There is a meeting, and I think you should participate."

"It’s about the Abyss."

"Alright."

When Gainyate landed on the top floor of the Federal Building,

Lin Lao was already waiting there.

"I’ve been waiting for you."

Lin Lao immediately grabbed Li Yao affectionately and led him into the building.

Getting into the elevator,

Lin Lao explained to Li Yao:

"The people participating in this meeting are all high-ranking officials from countries around the world."

"Their decisions are the decisions of their nations."

"So, whatever you have to say later, you can say it directly."

"For example, about the Abyss?" Li Yao asked.

"Exactly." Lin Lao’s expression darkened, "Li Yao, you were right before; human professionals do not yet have the ability to set foot in the Abyss."

"This Brain-Eating Bee incident is the biggest warning."

"There are some things that are useless for me to tell them; I need you to do it."

"I understand." Li Yao nodded.

No wonder Lin Lao called him over.

To make this bunch of guys behave,

one still has to rely on strength.

"By the way, they also want to entrust you with helping to clear the Ruins of the Gods in various countries, to liberate their strongest combat forces and end the wars in their nations."

"As for that, just do as you see fit."

The elevator stopped at the 100th floor. Lin Lao led Li Yao to a conference room and pushed open the doors.

A group of well-dressed professionals with imposing manners sat around a large round table.

There were men and women, generally over fifty years old, numbering more than twenty.

There were a few empty seats, but instruments were placed there, likely for remote communication.

"General Lin, is this the important person you were talking about?" As soon as Li Yao entered, a burly black man said flippantly, "So young, could he be your illegitimate son?"

After speaking, the burly black man laughed twice, only to find that no one around him was laughing with him.

Everyone was looking at the young man with caution.

To reach this position, there were few fools.

Except for the burly black man from the Xiong Guo, the other high-ranking officials had either seen Li Yao’s face or guessed his identity.

"Is this the Chief General? Seeing you today, you truly live up to your reputation," a beautiful lady said. "I represent the Xiong Guo in expressing our gratitude to you."

"For the Brain-Eating Bee dungeon."

Li Yao waved his hand and glanced at the nameplate in front of her, "Senior Lady Peggy, that was just a matter of convenience, no need for thanks."

Having said that, he sat down at the head of the round table.

The others kept their expressions natural, not finding it inappropriate.

Li Yao scanned the crowd with a calm expression and said indifferently:

"You are all great leaders and very busy."

"I will keep it brief."

"From now on, all professionals globally are forbidden from entering the Abyss privately."

"All professionals entering the Abyss must undergo verification by my Dragon Country."

"Is that acceptable?"

As soon as these words were spoken,

the scene fell into a dead silence.

Everyone had witnessed with their own eyes how strong the Brain-Eating Bees from the Abyss were.

Even if the Dragon Country Chief hadn't said it,

they would have restricted their own people from entering the Abyss.

But a national ban does not mean no one will take the risk.

In the eyes of professionals, the Abyss

has only two synonyms:

Danger!

Opportunity!

Even with strict prohibitions, there are plenty of professionals who will find various ways to enter the Abyss.

To truly achieve large-scale restrictions,

the manpower and resources required would be immense!

After a few breaths, the burly black man from the Xiong Guo spoke up:

"Prohibitions are fine, but what if professionals from your Dragon Country want to enter the Abyss?"

Li Yao looked back at him, "Then they enter."

"Didn't I say? As long as they have permission."

The burly black man was furious, "So your meaning is, our people can't enter, but only your Dragon Country can explore the Abyss, is that it?"

"Correct, as of now, that is the case." Li Yao nodded as if it were only natural.

In his eyes,

even the number one professional on the global Seventh-Turn ranking list is not qualified to explore that dangerous continent.

A moment of carelessness could bring back creatures even more dangerous than the Brain-Eating Bee tribe.

At least until the hidden threat of the Demon race is resolved,

human professionals entering the Abyss

will do more harm than good!

As Li Yao’s voice fell,

a low buzzing sound of discussion arose in the room.

Li Yao did not urge them.

Several minutes passed.

An old man spoke up: "Dragon Country Chief, I don't think this is appropriate."

"In the system panel, there is a new 'Abyss Bestiary' section. I believe the purpose of the Heavenly Dao is to let professionals explore the Abyss so that all of us can improve. You doing this..."

Before he could finish,

with a 'bang',

a giant ancient purple book was tossed onto the round table by Li Yao.

"The Abyss Bestiary you speak of is my property."

With his strength at this level,

there are many things Li Yao no longer needs to hide.

"The Heavenly Dao did not ask you to explore the Abyss; you don't need to use that as an excuse."

The old man’s expression froze, and he dared not speak for a long time.

The burly black man took over the conversation: "I disagree!"

"Either no one explores the Abyss!"

"Or the permissions are opened, and everyone can enter the Abyss!"

Cowering in the corner, trying his best to minimize his presence, Pinoride

looked at this burly black man with great shock.

"No way."

"Is there really someone this brave!?"
