Chapter 833 - 446: Power of the Sixth Supreme Treasure
Inside the media reception room.
Frost was sitting in a corner, with his laptop on his lap, and his fingers flying nimbly over the keyboard.
He was writing a personal diary.
"In ten minutes, the staff from the Mount of Gods will lead the media group, including me, a total of more than 120 people, to the World Gate to witness its first public opening.
"Currently, there is a widely accepted view across social media platforms that the World Gate of Great Xia is the true World Gate, a symbol of the Canglan Civilization.
"And the World Gate built by the Carmenians should be more accurately called the Demon Gate, as it is a great humiliation to the Canglan Civilization.
"The Carmenians colluded with demons to sacrifice untold numbers of people in blood rituals, and beneath this World Gate, there may be the buried remains and anguished souls of tens of thousands of innocents.
"Actually, I personally support this viewpoint very strongly; I just stepped into..."
He had written to this point when he suddenly caught sight of a tall, thin reporter glancing at his laptop screen from the corner of his eye.
Frost quickly closed his laptop and turned his head with a smile: "I am a senior reporter at the Federro Daily, may I ask who you are?"
The Federro Daily is one of the top three influential media outlets in the Southern Cross Alliance, known throughout the Western Hemisphere.
The tall, thin reporter smiled back: "Jason, currently working at Forster News."
The so-called "Forster News" is one of the top five media outlets in the Carmenia Federation.
Jason smiled and said, "Mr. Frost, I remember you; your courage is admirable."
This sentence sounds like praise on the surface.
Frost, however, smiled awkwardly.
He understood very well that Jason was implicitly referring to an event that occurred last year.
Back then, an Other Space connecting to the Primordial World’s Cold Abyss unexpectedly appeared off the coast of Shapudian.
A research vessel named "Eastern Science" accidentally fell into the Other Space, prompting a joint international rescue operation.
At that time, the Great Xia Ghost made its first appearance on the world stage, exhibiting a power that shocked the world.
Frost publicly offended the Great Xia Ghost before the entire world and was subsequently taught a lesson, but he survived.
It was precisely because of this experience that Carmenia considered him an enemy of the Eastern Evil Dragon, hence the invitation for him to witness the opening of the World Gate, no, the Demon Gate.
Jason asked a question: "Mr. Frost, do you think the Federation’s Holy Flame Legion can successfully extract primordial resources on its first entry into the Primordial World?"
Frost nodded vigorously: "Of course, they will succeed! The Western Hemisphere can no longer sit idly by and let the Eastern Evil Dragon monopolize the primordial resources, or else the entire Western Hemisphere will eventually crawl under its dragon claws."
Jason listened to this formulaic response, his expression somewhat speechless.
I just wanted to chat with you privately; what’s the point of saying these grandiose things?
The two exchanged a few formal pleasantries.
Jason excused himself to the restroom and courteously took his leave.
Frost sat in the corner with his laptop, fingers once again dancing lightly on the keyboard.
"Just stepping into the range of the Demon Gate, I felt a shudder from the depths of my soul.
"According to the explanation by the Great Xia Spirit Crow in the video, it is evident that the soul finds this place extremely repellent, which is why it feels so unbearable.
"Based on what the Great Xia Spirit Crow said, this suggests that my soul has certain unique qualities; perhaps I should thank the Demon Gate for making me aware of this.
"I truly hope to visit Eastern City someday to see the World Gate established by the Great Xia People and admire the true crystallization of civilization."
The stance he exhibited in his personal diary contrasted sharply with the one displayed in his earlier conversation.
This behavior of having different facades was akin to a split personality.
However, the former was undoubtedly his genuine expression.
After all, this was a personal diary, with no need to disguise his true thoughts.
Incidentally.
Since the arrival of the Age of Calamity, Frost began writing his diary.
He hoped to use his words to document this tumultuous era, providing future generations with research material and leaving a small voice in history.
As a media professional, this was Frost’s small ambition.
"During this period in the Carmenia Federation, I’ve heard many things and witnessed some things firsthand.
"It is said that the Azure Palace is about to introduce a certification system called the ’Gamini Loyalty Badge’.
"All Federation military personnel, police officers, government employees, researchers, and ordinary people who have contributed to the Federation will receive the Third-level Loyalty Badge upon passing an official assessment.
"Superpower Users serving the Federation, senior officials, senior military officers, and senior experts can receive the Second-level Loyalty Badge.
"The criteria for the even higher First-level Loyalty Badge, and who qualifies for it, is currently unknown to me.
"According to rumors, all recipients of the Loyalty Badges, as well as their families, will receive official protection.
"I must say, when I first heard about this, I could hardly believe my ears.
"My goodness!
"In plain terms, isn’t this just a disguised caste system?
"Anyone who is not a recipient of a Loyalty Badge will undoubtedly lack official protection.
"And the consequence of having no protection is the potential to become a sacrificial offering, or to be sent to the laboratory and transformed into a fearsome modified human weapon.
