"Sir, in two days, there will be a competition between outstanding students from various universities in Huaya! The matches in this competition will directly determine the ranking of the academies. It is said that this year's academy competition will be reformed! Therefore, the principals of various top academies, and even some holy lands, will send people to participate."
"Is that so?" Su Han's expression was somewhat serious, his mind racing. "It seems that this is aimed at the upcoming academy competition."
Su Han had already made a guess in his mind. It was likely that those powerful figures at the level of demon ancestors wanted to cause trouble in this battle. He made a decision in his mind, "On Friday, I will contact Tai Kangzi directly."
After a few breaths, the video call was connected.
“Mr. Su.” Tai Kangzi looked at Su Han with a puzzled expression.
"The competition at the Magic City Academy will be held in two days! There's a possibility that more than one expert at the Demon Ancestor level will appear," Su Han said succinctly.
"...What?" Tai Kangzi's eyes narrowed, but the emotion revealed in his pupils was not shock, but doubt and uncertainty.
"What happened?" Su Han immediately sensed something was wrong.
"We received a visitation letter from a powerful demon race member at the level of a high-ranking Holy Lord. The letter stated that the demon race's representative would appear in the Demon Capital in two days... However, it did not specify who the person would be. Moreover, the demon race Holy Lord's attitude was quite good, saying that he wanted to have peaceful exchanges."
Tai Kangzi frowned. If the person who came two days later was a high-ranking holy lord or even a god-king, then one could say that the other party's attitude was truly appropriate... But the one who came was the demon ancestor, which was really intriguing.
They're coming on strong! They're definitely up to no good.
"What are you planning to do?" Su Han looked at Tai Kangzi with interest. It seemed that Tai Kangzi was going to use a deadly move this time? He had always been curious about what Tai Kangzi's trump card was... Anyway, Su Han felt that it couldn't just be a formation diagram.
Tai Kangzi looked at Su Han for a long, long time before sighing softly, "After this incident is resolved, I will take you to see our true backup plan. However, those backup plans cannot be easily activated... so this time, the main focus is on deterrence."
Su Han tapped his fingers lightly on the table. He suddenly spoke, "The average level of the evil creatures appearing on Earth is currently very low. Is it because humanity's true backup forces are resisting powerful beings?"
Tai Kangzi nodded calmly. He wasn't surprised. After all, he knew Su Han was a smart man, and at this point, both sides understood each other perfectly well.
"Fine." Su Han no longer hesitated. Since Tai Kangzi was frank, he wouldn't be stingy. Besides, those demon ancestors were very likely to be corrupted evil beings that he could devour.
He said softly, "With my current strength, I should be able to kill several demon ancestors! I'll kill them first, and then you can launch your deterrent countermeasure... a two-pronged approach. This will maximize the deterrence against the demon race and buy precious time for humanity."
Tai Kangzi's eyelids twitched, and he gave Su Han a deep look. "I understand!"
The fact that Su Han uttered this sentence is enough to prove that... Su Han has now truly entered the realm of sages.
Although Tai Kangzi felt that he couldn't possibly understand Su Han's situation with his common sense... it was good for the human race and good for Huaya, and that was enough... He didn't need to delve into other aspects.
After discussing various plans with Tai Kangzi, Su Han hung up the phone.
He took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and entered the misty space.
...
A misty palace, adorned with stars, where the sun and moon hang high in the sky.
Aside from the ancient chairs and the eerie halls, only an eternal mist flows through the void.
Su Han opened his eyes in his seat and found that there were quite a few people sitting around him in the Mist Council, having a discussion.
"Edward, do you need my help with this mission?" Madara Uchiha stared at Whitebeard, his words calm and indifferent. However, judging from the way he gripped the armrest, it was clear that his emotions were far from calm.
“If you’d like, that would be even better,” Whitebeard said softly. Unlike ordinary council members, he had no fear of Madara Uchiha and naturally wouldn’t stop him from coming.
“Your Excellency the Speaker of the Council,” Bruce Wayne suddenly interrupted them.
He raised his head and gazed at Su Han, who sat on the bronze throne, his face calm and his posture elegant yet respectful, and said, "Greetings!"

"Mr. Speaker of the Council." Huang Rong realized what was happening and replied with a light, delighted tone, "Good morning!"
Madara Uchiha glanced at Huang Rong and nodded to Su Han, "Chairman, good day!"
The council members looked at each other, and then, led by a few others, they greeted Su Han one by one.
Su Han remained calm and did not comment on the matter.
“Bruce, I just noticed you were in the Mist Council! You spent 80% of your time staring at the president’s bronze chair, and then just spacing out.”
Sakata Gintoki stared at Bruce Wayne with a strange expression, his voice gradually lowering as he complained, "I really don't understand, what are you doing staying in the Mist Space for so long? Is the Speaker's bronze chair something special, and you can gain some strange insights by looking at it for a while? Wait a minute."
Sakata Gintoki suddenly fell silent. He thought about it for a moment and realized it wasn't impossible…
Or rather, given the Speaker's mystique, this possibility is extremely high.
Feng Yuan's expression subtly changed. His past experiences had given him a thorough understanding of the intelligence possessed by the council's sages. Furthermore, although Bruce Wayne was a newcomer, his intelligence was certainly no less than that of the other top sages…
"I've decided. After the Speaker leaves, I'll stare at his chair for an hour and see if I can find anything," Feng Yuan murmured to himself.
"You're overthinking it! He's just a new member of the council and can't calm down yet." Bruce Wayne said expressionlessly, turning to look at Sakata Gintoki, a hint of speechlessness in his eyes.
He sighed, "And although I don't participate in the discussions, I listen carefully and think about everything everyone is talking about."
"Is that so?" After a brief moment of surprise, Sakata Gintoki regained his lazy and casual demeanor, showing no trace of his former White Demon persona. Even with Bruce Wayne watching, he nonchalantly picked his nose.
“Gurararara,” the white-bearded man suddenly laughed, looking at Su Han. “Chairman of the Council, yesterday… the altar for our world was completed. The altar was built on Fishman Island.”
"Wait a minute... Fishman Island? Under the sea! I'm curious, Mr. Edward, why did you put the altar there?" Conan's expression turned serious in an instant.
He had been rehearsing today's mission from yesterday to today. But his deductions suggested that Whitebeard might be at some ritual in the New World, or perhaps on the Red Line…
