Now, Luo Fu was undoubtedly about to become the master of this world.

Although nominally he was the head of the Earth Federation Government, Luo Fu's power did not come from popular election, but from his own strength.
To some extent, Luo Fu, the head of this Federation Government, was more like a conqueror of Earth's civilization.
Therefore, his position would be quite special, different from the heads of other countries.
If we were to draw an analogy, Luo Fu was more akin to an emperor in the feudal era.
Even now, Luo Fu does not have a system that truly belongs to him, but merely relying on his strength, Luo Fu is enough to disregard everything.
And Feng Zhenghao pushing his daughter to Luo Fu was nothing more than to gain greater benefits.
In Lu Jin's eyes, times have changed; before, he hinted in his words that Luo Fu should accept Feng Shayan, but at that time, it was because he was worried that Luo Fu's strength was insufficient to confront the Five Great Virtuous.
Of course, although times have changed, Lu Jin is still recognized by the world of the Heteromorphs as having lived a flawless life.
He ultimately couldn't bring himself to do something like turning his back on someone.
It's just that his great-granddaughter had just married Luo Fu, and he was already actively finding women for Luo Fu, which really made Lu Jin not know how to explain it to Lu Linglong.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Jin simply bit the bullet and said, "President Feng, I will talk to Linglong as soon as possible. Of course, this kind of thing requires Linglong's consent, you're right?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhenghao narrowed his eyes slightly and then nodded directly, saying, "Old Lu is right, this kind of thing should indeed be approved by Madam Luo."
Lu Jin and Feng Zhenghao's words at this moment were actually equivalent to both parties agreeing to the principle that even if Luo Fu had more women, Lu Linglong should be the most respected.
Although Luo Fu guessed this, at this moment, he was not in the mood to pay attention to these things.
It's not a question of whether Luo Fu is interested in Feng Shayan.
But Feng Shayan, for Luo Fu, is a means and way to recruit people's hearts.
Even in today's society, marriage is still an important means of forming alliances to some extent.
Luo Fu simply left the matter of Feng Shayan to Lu Jin to arrange.
At this moment, what he was more concerned about was how to quickly spread the Three Realms Nine Heavens system in the shortest possible time.
It was clearly not enough that only those Qimen masters who could access the Inner Vision among the Heteromorphs could obtain the inheritance of the Three Realms Nine Heavens system.
Only by truly having the entire population embark on the path of individual evolution and cultivation could Luo Fu's goals be achieved most quickly.
The simplest way to truly and quickly get the whole people to accept the shift in the direction of civilization is to manifest the divine before them.
After all, the pursuit of extraordinary power is the instinct of all life.
The ancient country of the East, including the countries around it that have been influenced for hundreds or thousands of years, such as the Japanese chickens, the Koreans, and even the entire Southeast Asia region, have long had the culture of cultivating immortality deeply rooted in the bones of their people without them realizing it.
And Western European and American countries, whether it is the technologically advanced United States, or John Bull, Gaul Chicken, etc., are also deeply influenced by cultures such as magic.
Previously, in order to maintain the general trend of the world being controlled by ordinary people, the governments of various countries, from beginning to end, have been concealing and suppressing the existence of Heteromorphs, and strictly guarding against them.
Throughout the entire country, except for a very few existences, almost the vast majority of ordinary people do not know the existence of so-called Heteromorphs, and many people firmly believe that extraordinary powers such as magic, cultivation, and superpowers are all fantasies.
And the best way to show supernatural power is undoubtedly the process of Luo Fu opening the door to the Divine Might Grotto Heaven in various countries next.
This kind of method involving the Divine Kingdom Grotto Heaven and spatial displacement, once it appears, will inevitably set off a huge wave in any country.
However, after all, this is the first time, and even Luo Fu himself is not clear about what kind of impact this practice of reversing the direction of civilization will have on the current society.
And his first target was neither the ancient country of the East nor one of the Five Great Virtuous.
Instead, it was the country of Japan.
Using Japan as an experiment is both for safety and to provide a precedent for other countries to follow.
This does not mean that the fact that the first door to the Divine Might Grotto Heaven is built in Japan will allow Japan to obtain the greatest benefits.
It is not difficult to understand if you think about it. If Japan is really the target, then suddenly discovering from a rational scientific perspective that supernatural powers really exist in this world, and even the existence of incredible and completely unscientific things such as the Divine Kingdom and the Grotto Heaven.
The shock to one's worldview alone is enough to cause turmoil throughout society.
Especially in Japan, because of the special nature of the country itself, various cults emerge endlessly within the country.
Using Japan as a benchmark for opening up the Divine Might Grotto Heaven is destined to plunge the entire country into chaos.
This kind of chaos is precisely what Luo Fu wants.
Who made it so that even now that the Earth Federation Government is about to be established, Luo Fu, the leader of human civilization, is still not known by many ordinary people?
His several crushing defeats of the Five Great Virtuous, including the previous matter of the Allied Forces of the Nations, have so far been secrets known only to a very few people.
In order to prevent those self-righteous guys from standing up to challenge Luo Fu's authority, killing the chicken to warn the monkey is inevitable.
Humans have always feared power and not cherished virtue; this is human nature.
And in today's world where interests are paramount, this is especially obvious, as can be judged from the endless emergence of various strange organizations in Europe and the United States.
If there is no killing the chicken to warn the monkey, once the existence of supernatural power is exposed.
I don't know how many people will come up with high-sounding reasons to seek benefits for themselves.
Those ignorant guys might even dare to suggest that Luo Fu be their nanny.
Don't think this is impossible; look at the chaotic and unbearable European and American boxing organizations. Without enough threats, a bunch of people who morally kidnap Luo Fu are almost inevitable.
From ancient times to the present, if you want to establish a perfect system.
If you want this system to operate smoothly, then both kindness and power are the only options.
If Luo Fu spreading the Three Realms Nine Heavens system and establishing the Heavenly Rules and Laws is kindness, then he has only shown kindness, but has never shown power.
Kindness and power combined are the way of the king.
Divine grace is like the sea, divine might is like a prison.
Kindness is enough; now it's time for might.
After informing the representatives of various countries of his decision to choose Japan as the target for establishing the first Divine Might Grotto Heaven door.
Luo Fu didn't give the representatives of various countries a chance to speak at all. He only gave the representatives of various countries five minutes to prepare, and then Luo Fu directly tore through space and appeared directly in the capital of Japan.
As a metropolis with a resident population of more than 10 million people.
When Luo Fu appeared in Tokyo, he did not attract much attention at first.
But soon, when the first person discovered Luo Fu standing tall and suspended in the air.
Soon, the news began to spread at an alarming rate.
At the same time, within five minutes, the head of Japan also used this time to spread the news that the Earth Organization Federation, Luo Fu was about to take office as the head of the Earth Federation, and human civilization was about to embark on the path of individual evolution outside the technological system, to all the people through various media means, especially the people of Tokyo, like stuffing a duck.
This emergency broadcast, with an amount of information comparable to a nuclear bomb, made countless Japanese citizens think that they had not woken up and were dreaming in a short period of time.
After confirming that all of this had really happened, more citizens began to suspect that they had misremembered the date, and that it was April 1st, so this was an April Fool's Day joke?
The chaos of thought instantly swept through the entire country of Japan.
And Luo Fu obviously would not give this country too much preparation time.
After all, from the beginning, Luo Fu had regarded Japan as the chicken to be killed to warn the monkey.
In this case, the more extreme Japan's performance is, the more it can warn more people under Luo Fu's subsequent thunderous strikes.
As for how miserable Japan will be, this is not within Luo Fu's consideration.
Kindness does not command soldiers, righteousness does not manage wealth, emotion does not establish affairs, and goodness does not serve as an official.
To directly reverse humanity from the path of technological civilization to the path of individual evolution and cultivation is itself a grand civilization revolution.
And how can there be a revolution without bloodshed and sacrifice?
Without the lives of enough vested interests as stepping stones, then even if the direction of human civilization is reversed in a short period of time by relying on Luo Fu's power to suppress it, this hidden danger will erupt in the future.
And in this case, Luo Fu of course wants to eliminate these hidden dangers in advance, or at least make everyone actively or passively accept the shift in the direction of civilization development.
Standing tall in the air, Luo Fu glanced down at the many Japanese citizens who were gradually gathering around him, watching the excitement, as the official Japanese broadcast, or rather, the spread of online news, spread.
Luo Fu spread out his five fingers and slowly aimed them at the ground below.
Of course, he was not trying to do a Super Shinra Tensei in Tokyo.
Although with Luo Fu's current abilities, the Rinnegan's control of gravity and repulsive force is as clumsy as a child's play.
Luo Fu, who is already able to control gravity and electromagnetic force at the same time, can easily use his own abilities to COS all the abilities of the Rinnegan.
But now, what Luo Fu wants is not to kill people directly, but to strike at their hearts.
Along with Luo Fu's actions.
The entire Japanese high-level leadership became cautious, each fearing that Luo Fu would cause chaos that would plunge the entire country into turmoil.
An invisible force instantly enveloped the entire Honshu Island.
In the next moment, vast power caused the earth to tremble violently.
Countless residents of Tokyo were instantly terrified, believing it to be a strong earthquake.
But Luo Fu, the instigator, firmly restrained this force, limiting the area of its eruption to the island of Honshu.
Accompanying the earth's tremors, a massive paifang-style structure, over three kilometers wide, rose from the ground in an instant.
With a width of three kilometers, a three-bay, four-pillar design, and a height reaching one point three kilometers.
This colossal paifang-style structure left everyone around Tokyo speechless.
Having completed all of this, Luo Fu's figure, standing in the void, vanished from the spot.
Of course, Luo Fu didn't leave directly.
After all, his purpose in choosing Japan was to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Now that the chicken hadn't jumped out yet, how could he leave so quickly?
However, Luo Fu wasn't foolish enough to keep waiting in Japan.
He needed to let the matter ferment properly, to make more chickens jump out.
Without even thinking, Luo Fu knew that as America's lackey, the higher-ups in Japan would inevitably test him.
Since the confrontation of strength had been completely crushed by Luo Fu, then next, they would naturally play the game of high-sounding moral kidnapping.
The Five Great Benevolent Ones would certainly hope that Japan would show some spirit, not lose face, and be a good example. As for what the consequences would be for Japan...
That wasn't something the Five Great Benevolent Ones would consider.
Japan was merely a tool to test Luo Fu.
If Luo Fu retreated under public pressure, then the Five Great Benevolent Ones would have countless methods to gradually pressure Luo Fu into making concessions, to fight for greater benefits and interests for themselves, and even completely turn the so-called Earth Federation into a second United Nations, making Luo Fu, the head of the Federation, a figurehead like the Secretary-General of the United Nations.
Of course, if Luo Fu directly crushed Japan with brute force, then the Five Great Benevolent Ones would have no choice but to obey.
On this point, the Qing Dynasty provided Luo Fu with the best example.
As long as those stubborn guys are killed, then the rest will naturally become obedient subjects.
Sure enough, after waiting only a few short days, Japan began to spread the Three Realms Nine Heavens system on an official level.
Unfortunately, even for Inhumans, it's impossible to quickly get on the right track when first encountering the Three Realms Nine Heavens system.
If it were otherwise, then in Shenwei Grotto-Heaven, besides Luo Fu, only Lu Linglong and Feng Baobao would have truly embarked on the Three Realms Nine Heavens system.
The Three Realms Nine Heavens system, although it is a formula that can encompass all Inhuman techniques and innate abilities.
But alas, this formula also needs to be calculated.
And the process of calculation can only be done step by step. Differences in aptitude, comprehension, and other aspects determine that only a very few people will succeed first.
And more people will not doubt their own incompetence and stupidity, but will naturally assume that they failed because the higher-ups concealed something.
Under the instigation of those with ulterior motives.
Soon, the whole of Japan descended into chaos.
The chaos in Japan was almost something that the Five Great Benevolent Ones, Luo Fu, and others had anticipated long ago.
Even the reason why everything erupted so quickly was entirely because, after establishing the three-bay, four-pillar paifang for entering Shenwei Grotto-Heaven, Luo Fu directly disappeared into hiding.
And the Five Great Benevolent Ones, in order to test Luo Fu's bottom line bit by bit, began to instigate the Japanese people by any means necessary.
The whole of Japan quickly became like a powder keg that seemed ready to explode at any moment.
And regarding all of this, the higher-ups in Japan could only helplessly watch, without any ability to interfere.
It's not that they couldn't, but as America's staunch lackey, the higher-ups in Japan were simply powerless to resist America's will.
From the top to the bottom, America almost controlled every aspect of Japan.
Leaving Japan without any means to cope.
At this time, the only thing Japan could do was to wait helplessly for the country, gradually turning into a powder keg, to completely explode.
As for who the ultimate target of the explosion would be, it would definitely be Luo Fu.
In fact, it was as expected.
As the situation in Japan became increasingly chaotic.
The representatives of the Five Great Benevolent Ones quickly found Luo Fu.
Looking helpless, they expressed the surging public opinion of Japan to Luo Fu.
The representatives of the Five Great Benevolent Ones were undoubtedly clever to the bone.
From beginning to end, they acted as if they were innocent, as if all of this really had nothing to do with them.
To this, Luo Fu, although knowing it clearly, also knew that now was not the time to deal with these people.
Even these people didn't need Luo Fu to deal with them. As long as the goal of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys in Japan was achieved, these clever people in human society would naturally become Luo Fu's obedient subjects.
Looking at these guys with ulterior motives, who could even be said to be testing his bottom line, with a smile that was not a smile.
Luo Fu said: "What? Do these Japanese people want me to be their nanny?"
The American representative, hearing this, immediately put on an innocent look and said: "Your Excellency, of course we wouldn't have such thoughts, it's just... the public opinion is surging now, and the Japanese government has no way to deal with it."
"Then what do you mean...?" Luo Fu looked at the American representative meaningfully.
Although he knew that America could be said to be the direct mastermind behind the events in Japan, what Luo Fu didn't expect was that America would be so eager to jump out.
"Your Excellency, the riots of the people need to be pacified," the American representative said, looking like he was thinking of Luo Fu.
The representatives of the other four great benevolent ones were now tacitly waiting for Luo Fu's response.
If Luo Fu was forced by public opinion to make an initial concession, then next, they could use the banner of the people to gradually seize real power from Luo Fu's hands.
In this tug-of-war, as long as Luo Fu made a slight concession, then there would be endless troubles. It should be known that the Five Great Benevolent Ones now clearly understand one thing, that is, the will of the people can be manipulated.
The information cocoon is not only aimed at individuals, but groups are the easiest to manipulate.
"Pacify?" Luo Fu sneered and said: "No need, since the people have chosen to riot, then they are rioters. What rioters need is not pacification, but swift and decisive strikes."
At this moment, the representatives of the Five Great Benevolent Ones were suddenly struck by lightning.
Although they had considered that Luo Fu would not choose to retreat, they had never thought that Luo Fu would be so tough.
How many so-called rioting people are there in Japan now?
Not to mention the participation of the entire population, it was nearly half.
And the entire population of Japan is nearly 130 million, and half of that is equal to 65 million people.
If all the rioting people are said to be rioters, then the target to be attacked is equal to half of Japan.
Is Luo Fu really not afraid of causing eternal infamy by doing this?
Among the representatives of the Five Great Benevolent Ones, the first to come back to his senses was the representative of the ancient country of the East.
After all, the ancient country of the East and Japan have a feud that has lasted for more than a century. Although on an official level, the topics have always been friendship and exchange, in the folk, there is absolutely no friendship between the two sides.
It should be known that not long ago, the Hekizan Ninja and their descendants almost caused turmoil in the Northeast.
If some ordinary people can forget the hatred between themselves and Japan, then there is really an irreconcilable deep hatred between Inhumans.
Not to mention anything else, like the Lu family, the Lu family, the Wang family, the Tang Sect, and so on, not to mention how many seniors died directly at the hands of the Hekizan Ninja, even now, there are still many old things in these families and sects who participated in the war that year.
Even Lu Jin had once directly and indirectly fought against the Inhumans of Japan, and even Lu Jin had the lives of many Japanese Inhumans in his hands.
As a corner of society, Inhumans, as if forgotten, actually have the deepest and most irreconcilable feelings about this hatred that has lasted for more than a century.
The representative of the ancient country of the East, as if understanding something, chose to remain silent with concern.
But America, John Bull, and Gaul began to use various methods of moral kidnapping to try to persuade Luo Fu to retreat.
Unfortunately, Luo Fu, who had anticipated this from the beginning, did not give the representatives of the three great benevolent ones any chance.
Stepping out, at the moment when Luo Fu's figure disappeared in place, a voice also drifted away.
"Since ancient times, revolution has only been without bloodshed, and the direction of human civilization, from the technological age, to the path of individual evolution, must be a larger-scale revolution, then let Japan shed enough blood to pave a red carpet for the arrival of the new era."
Pave the red carpet with blood?
Such words suddenly made the Five Great Benevolent Ones feel a little frightened.
Because these light words were simply proclaiming that, in dealing with the surging public opinion of Japan, Luo Fu chose the most criticized method, using direct violent suppression to destroy all the darkness in human nature.
Let everyone arrange their thoughts and move towards the new direction of human civilization.
"Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys," after a long time, the representative of the ancient country of the East murmured four words.
Luo Fu is a person from the ancient country of the East, and in order to communicate with Luo Fu, the representatives are naturally familiar with Chinese.
The four words "killing the chicken to scare the monkeys" made everyone understand in an instant.
Their thoughts had been anticipated by Luo Fu from the beginning, and even Japan was deliberately chosen by Luo Fu.
The purpose was to destroy in advance their attempt to use public opinion as an excuse, and use moral kidnapping to influence Luo Fu's will.
