All of a sudden, public opinion changed drastically.

Even if the sailors supported by the strongest faction were fully fired, they racked their brains to cover Kong Shenglin, and even tried their best to artificially create trending news, trying to divert the public's focus, but in the face of the overwhelming tide of public opinion, it was of no avail.

There is no way, the strongest faction has committed too many crimes, and it is nothing more than normal. Once public opinion starts to backfire, it is simply not something that can be manipulated by human means.

In the final analysis, there are too many people who want to see the luck of the strongest faction.

However, if it's just a backlash from public opinion, it won't hurt the strongest faction's muscles.

What really hurt them was the defection of a group of god-level academies!

Including Jianghai College, there are a total of 174 god-level colleges in the alliance. These god-level colleges maintain independence in name, but in essence, they have already been divided up by the giants of the Supreme Board of Directors.

Without the protection of the giant elder behind them, one of these god-level academies that joined the alliance would be considered a family, and they would all be pieces of fat.

The strength and compulsion of the god-level academy is only for ordinary practitioners. Once they encounter those huge forces of the giant elder level, or powerful departments like the Alliance Security Bureau, they will be wiped out in minutes.

Therefore, every god-level academy will seek the protection of a giant elder.

The most intuitive form of seeking asylum is to pay the giant elder a monthly offering, which is the so-called protection fee.

The horror of the strongest faction is that among the 174 god-level academies, 135 of them pay protection fees every month!

This is an absolute overwhelming advantage!

The remaining giant elders, including Gu Jiumu and Chu Hantian, the two top giant elders, let alone eat meat, can hardly even drink hot soup.

However, in just three days after this regular meeting, forty-seven god-level academies successively announced that they would stop offering donations to the strongest faction, and this was only the first wave of cutoffs.

Although the real signs had appeared as early as when the high-ranking members of the academy who were pro-strongest factions were dismissed collectively, the impact on public opinion was far from as great as it is now.

It wasn't until this moment that the general public suddenly realized that things were about to change.

"Another thirty-five divinity-level academies have announced their withdrawal?"

Looking at the summary of information sent by Zhao Xian, Lin Yi couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "The speed at which the dominoes fall is much faster than I expected."

Zhao Xian said sternly: "The strongest faction in the world has been suffering for a long time. Before, no one dared to stand up and pick this head. Now the strongest faction is showing signs of decline. Naturally, the wall is overthrown by everyone. Forty-seven families in the first wave, and 47 in the second wave. Thirty-five, and there will be a third wave and a fourth wave after that.”

"When everyone sees the direction of the wind, the days of the strongest faction will be over."

"At that time, it won't be the wall that falls and everyone pushes it, but the pack of wolves eating the tiger."

Lin Yi shook his head noncommittally: "It won't be that easy."

Although the current situation is very good, it even feels that the strongest faction will fall apart at any time, but in essence, all this is just an illusion.

Before Kong Shenglin collapsed, no matter how good the situation was, it was possible to reverse it in an instant.

Everything is unreal.

Lin Yi was fully aware of this.

Zhao Xian secretly admired it, and then handed over another form: "This is the public opinion monitoring in the past few days. The voice of the strongest faction has fallen off a cliff, and your voice has been rising all the way. It has already surpassed other ordinary giants. , it is generally believed that you are the first person under the top giant."

"oh?"

Lin Yi's heart moved slightly, and he immediately inspected the luck on his head with the will of the world, and as expected, he had already broken through the previous hundred bottlenecks.

According to Gu Jiumu, the upper limit of luck is related to the realm of strength. The limit of the Dzogchen venerable of the Huang rank is one hundred. Now that Lin Yi is the peak venerable of the middle stage of the Xuan rank, the limit is naturally more than this, but it can be reached in the end. To what extent is still unknown.

In addition, the amount of luck is closely related to the recognition of the Dao of Heaven, and the perception of public opinion will also affect the recognition of the Dao of Heaven to a certain extent.

Or in other words, this itself is part of the recognition of the Dao of Heaven.

Now, as the voice became louder, Lin Yi found that the luck on his head was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, which happened to be a proof of this theory.

And this also pointed out the direction for him to obtain luck next.

The only pity is that now that he has been promoted to a Xuan-rank venerable, it is not so convenient to try to grab the wool of the artificial order that the Xuan-rank venerable cannot be challenged by leapfrogging.

Suddenly, a bold idea rushed into Lin Yi's mind.

"You want to create an artificial order yourself?"

Jiang Xiaoshang couldn't help being speechless after hearing his thoughts: "The idea is good. This is indeed the most efficient way for human cultivators to harvest luck, but it's a pity that you still can't use this way now."

Lin Yi frowned: "Why can't I use it?"

Jiang Xiaoshang glanced at him contemptuously: "Man-made order, you can simply understand it as the imperial decree of the secular dynasty, and it can only take effect if no one dares to touch it, so there is a minimum premise, you have to be the emperor first, and you have to maintain it." The strength of rules and order, are you up to this standard now?"

Lin Yi was speechless.

Even though he is very popular now, and his strength has also skyrocketed again, but he is still far from reaching the top of the pyramid.

At least until Kong Shenglin's strongest faction was overthrown, such a thing would not even need to be thought about.

Lin Yi thought for a while and said, "According to this, if I want to gain luck now, I can only go to public opinion?"

"If you can find another artificial order, it's okay to take advantage of the loopholes like before. It depends on whether you have that luck."

Jiang Xiaoshang paused, and said with great interest: "How are you going to brush up public opinion?"

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment: "How else can I brush? It's nothing more than using my strength to break their perception of me little by little, and raise my level in their minds. Is there any other way?"

In the end, Jiang Xiaoshang looked contemptuous in exchange.

"Fortunately, you are still from the secular world. You didn't think about studying the superb methods of manipulating public opinion in the secular world?"

"Those methods put here are all proper dimensionality reduction blows."

"Instead of upgrading step by step, it's better to find an opportunity to have a good time, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort!"

Lin Yi's eyes lit up immediately: "Are you sure?"

Jiang Xiaoshang chuckled: "Some things, how will you know if you don't try them?"

Lin Yi understood, and immediately withdrew from the New World, pulled Tianji over, and began to study the layout of public opinion without saying a word.
