For a time, the direction of public opinion changed drastically.

Even if the troll army raised by the strongest faction went all out and racked their brains to cover up for Kong Shenglin, and even tried to create trending news to shift the public’s focus, it was useless in the face of the overwhelming tide of public opinion.

There was no other way. The strongest faction had committed too many sins. It was fine usually, but once public opinion began to backfire, it was not something that could be manipulated by human means.

In the end, there were too many people who wanted to see the strongest faction suffer.

However, if it was just the backlash of public opinion, it would not hurt the bones of the strongest faction.

What really hurt them was the defection of a group of divine academies!

Including Jianghai Academy, there were a total of 174 divine academies in the alliance. These divine academies maintained independence in name, but in reality, they had long been divided up by the supreme board of directors.

Without the protection of the giant behind them, all of the Divine Academies that had joined the Alliance would be a piece of fat meat.

The power and prestige of a Divine Academy was only limited to ordinary cultivators. Once they encountered a giant level of power or a powerful department like the Alliance Security Bureau, they would be eaten up in minutes.

Therefore, every single Divine Academy would seek the protection of a powerful person.

The most direct form of seeking asylum was to pay monthly tribute to the giant, which was also the so-called protection fee.

The terrifying thing about the strongest faction was that among the 174 Divine Academies, there were a total of 135 that paid them protection fees every month!

This was an absolute overwhelming advantage!

The remaining giants, including Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian, who were both top-notch giants, could not even get a sip of hot soup, let alone eat meat.

However, within a short three days after this meeting, 47 Divine Colleges had announced that they would stop offering offerings to the strongest faction. And this was only the first wave of the supply cut-off.

Although the real signs had already appeared when the higher-ups of the academy who were close to the strongest faction were collectively dismissed, the impact of public opinion was far from as great as it was now.

It was only at this moment that the belated masses suddenly realized that things were really going to change.

Another thirty-five Divine Academies have announced that they will cut off their offerings?”

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow as he read the report.” The dominoes are falling faster than I expected.”

Zhao Xian said seriously,” The strongest faction in the world has been suffering for a long time. Previously, no one dared to stand up and challenge it. Now that the strongest faction has shown signs of decline, everyone will naturally push it down. The first wave is 47, the second wave is 35, and after that, there will be a third and fourth wave.”

” When everyone looks at the direction of the wind, the days of the strongest faction will come to an end.”

“When the time comes, it won’t be everyone pushing the wall down, but a pack of wolves eating a tiger.”

“It won’t be that easy.” Lin Yi shook his head.

Although the current situation seemed to be good, and it even gave people the feeling that the strongest faction would fall apart at any time, in reality, all of this was just an illusion.

Before Kong Shenglin collapsed, even the best situation could be reversed in an instant.

Everything was an illusion.

Lin Yi was fully aware of this.

Zhao Xian was secretly impressed. Then, he handed over another form.” This is the public opinion monitoring for the past few days. The support of the strongest faction has fallen like a cliff, but your support has been rising all the way. It has already surpassed the other ordinary giants. Everyone thinks that you are the number one person below the top giants.”

“Oh?”

Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat as he used the world’s will to check his luck. As expected, he had broken through the hundred bottlenecks.

According to Gu Jiumu, the upper limit of luck was related to one’s strength. The limit of a golden class peak was one hundred, and now that Lin Yi was a Mystic mid phase peak, his limit naturally wasn’t limited to this. However, he didn’t know how much luck he could reach.

In addition, the amount of luck was closely related to the recognition of the Heavenly Dao. The public’s perception would also affect the recognition of the Heavenly Dao to a certain extent.

In other words, this was part of the Heavenly Dao’s recognition.

Now that the voices were getting louder, Lin Yi felt that his luck was increasing at a visible rate. It was a proof of this theory.

This also pointed out the direction in which he could obtain luck.

The only pity was that now that he was a Mystic Venerable, it wasn’t so convenient to take advantage of the fact that Mystic Venerables couldn’t be challenged.

Suddenly, a bold idea popped into Lin Yi’s mind.

“You want to create your own artificial order?”

Jiang Xiaoshang was speechless when he heard his idea.” It’s a good idea. This is indeed the most efficient way for human cultivators to harvest luck. Unfortunately, you don’t need this method yet.”

“Why not?” Lin Yi frowned.

Jiang Xiaoshang glanced at him with disdain.” Man-made order, you can simply understand it as the imperial edict of a secular dynasty. It can only take effect if no one dares to touch it. So, there is a minimum prerequisite. You have to become the emperor first and have the strength to maintain the rules and order. Are you up to this standard now?”

Lin Yi was speechless.

Although he was very popular now, and his strength had also increased by another round, he was still quite a distance away from truly reaching the top of the pyramid.

At least, before he overthrew Kong Shenglin’s strongest faction, such a thing was simply unthinkable.

“If that’s the case, then the only way I can get my luck now is to get the public opinion?” Lin Yi said after some thought.

” If you can find someone else to create order, you can take advantage of the loophole like before. It will depend on your luck.”

“How do you plan to convince the public?” Jiang Xiaoshang asked with interest.

How else?” Lin Yi blinked. It’s nothing more than using strength to break their understanding of me bit by bit and raise my level in their hearts. Is there any other way?”

In the end, Jiang Xiaoshang looked at him with disdain.

“To think that you’re from the secular world. Didn’t you think of studying the superb methods of manipulating public opinion in the secular world?”

“If those methods are put here, they will all be a good dimensional reduction attack.”

“Instead of leveling up step by step, it’s better to find an opportunity to pull you up properly. I guarantee that you’ll get twice the result with half the effort!”

“Are you sure?” Lin Yi’s eyes lit up.

Hehe. Jiang Xiaoshang chuckled.” There are some things that you won’t know if you don’t try.”

Lin Yi understood and left the new world immediately. He pulled Tianji over and started to analyze the public opinion..
