Sacred Souls: Genesis

Chapter 439: Chapter 424 – Let me introduce, this is my wife (4000 words! Request for monthly passes!!)

The next quarterfinals match was between Juan Canyun and a high-scoring casual player called “Brocade Hidden Blade.” Juan Canyun won with a dominating advantage, having half his health left.

But after winning this match, Juan Canyun found himself caught in a vexing public opinion vortex: the entire net was denouncing the Lady of Calamity.

There was actually nothing wrong with the Lady of Calamity fighting Fureya, but the video playback made it look like a massacre of Fureya.

This provoked the players who had crowdfunded ladder points for Fureya into a state of revolt—there’s no saint who doesn’t like Fureya, and if there is… they surely haven’t reached max level!

The collective revolt of the saint players also stirred up the pace on Weibo and various player communities. Aside from denouncing the Lady of Calamity, they also planned to gather a mob and cause trouble in the Pirate City, home of the plane pirates.

The players’ rage was burning fiercely, and the huge momentum left Jiang Qiao stunned. Originally, Jiang Qiao had blocked the exchange between Fureya and the Lady of Calamity to avoid some… issues related to the real world.

But now it seemed that this blockage had backfired. After a year of game operations, Jiang Qiao, as a game designer, finally had a point that players could latch onto and curse about.

However, Jiang Qiao apologized quickly and clarified even faster. After confirming there was nothing inappropriate in the exchange between the Lady of Calamity and Fureya, she immediately released the video of their conversation in its entirety.

Along with the release, she included screenshots of the conversation. After this series of dialogues and videos were released, the forum veterans of the saint forums were reasonable people.

They all realized that Fureya wasn’t being slaughtered by the Lady of Calamity but rather had her hopes carried on. The Lady of Calamity was almost shouting with Fureya’s relic in hand, “Fureya!”

Therefore, after clearing up the situation, the forum veterans started posting, calling on those unaware players to stop the mob action against the pirate faction.

But public opinion inevitably spread further. While there were forum veterans defending the Lady of Calamity, some naive players and cloud players thought the Lady of Calamity’s actions were too brutal and continued to vilify her relentlessly.

This was the situation in the forums, but it was even worse on Weibo, where the majority were cloud players.

Once the narrative was set that the Lady of Calamity had slaughtered Fureya, it was like a queen shouting in front of countless tribes, “The tribes are all garbage!” plunging the Lady of Calamity into an abyss of negative public opinion.

But so far, all this was still the affair of the saint players, even if cloud players who followed and liked the saint players were added to the mix — they were discussing and arguing about the content.

Yet what fueled the flames of public opinion even more… was Juan Canyun joining the Weibo battleground!

He didn’t just join the Weibo battleground; he went into battle as the leading vanguard general!
