1482 Powerful Presences

Upon returning home, Yuan was greeted by Meifeng at the door, who said, "The others have come out of Cultivation Online and are waiting for you in the dining room."

"Okay." _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

They went to the dining room together, where everyone was gathered and chatting mereily.

"Hahaha! You should've been there! We had to fight 40,000 players with just the four of us!" Shi Lang laughed out loud.

"Damn it! Why did I have to come out of Cultivation Online a day late?! I can't believe that I missed out on our debut!" Wang Ming cursed as he slammed the table with his fist and a regretful look on his face.

It was not just Wang Ming. Everyone who missed out on the Faction War wore a disappointed expression on their faces.

"Don't be too upset. You'll have plenty of chances to participate in the future." Yuan said as he entered the room.

"Yuan!"

He took a seat and continued, "We have another Faction War with the Fiery Garden of Hell in about a month, but I plan on participating in this alone."

"Eh?! Why?!"

"Let's just say I want to teach Fiery Queen a lesson, and it would be less effective if everyone were there. If you really want to participate in a Faction War, we can simply challenge another faction after that one."

"Anyway, I have an important announcement that will affect all of us and surely cause an uproar around the world for some time," Yuan suddenly declared, his expression solemn.

Everyone in the room immediately fell silent, a sense of nervousness hanging in the air.

"Due to the system update that allowed people on Earth to acquire treasures and whatnot from the Nine Heavens, our economy and overall power balance has become chaotic, to say the least. Many cultivators saw a significant boost in their cultivation because of this. Normally, this would be celebrated, but unfortunately, this is a disaster waiting to happen."

"Earth is simply too small and frankly not ready to have so many powerful cultivators running around. While the number of cultivators who can destroy this world is still small and our cultivation world isn't as developed, I am going to restrict everyone's cultivation to peak Spirit Grandmaster, just like how the Nine Heavens have certain cultivation restrictions for each world."

"This is a selfish act that some may even call oppressive and tyrannical, but I refuse to risk this world being destroyed by a single bad apple. Any questions?"

Hong Xiuquan raised his hand and asked, "Does this apply to us, as well? I'm pretty sure nobody here would do anything that would put the world at risk."

Yuan nodded, "I can also confidently say that nobody here would do such a thing, but I cannot show any favoritism, as that would be unfair to others. Moreover, if everyone in the world except for those around me had their cultivation suppressed, it would definitely raise eyebrows."

"So you don't plan on letting the world know you're behind the restriction?" Xi Murong asked.

"No, I do not."
