"Resist the war! We need to make contact and understand first!"
"Only a conciliatory policy can bring peace!"
"No bloodshed! No sacrifice!"
"Rember 'Schindler's List'!"
The voices of each protest group were loud, but the official arrangents prevented the Dove and Hawk factions from encountering each other.
Otherwise, they would surely clash.
The protests were just to call attention, to let everyone be aware of sothing, to prepare everyone, to give people choices.
Therefore, all cities under the Magma Territory's rule were allowed to protest, as long as prior notice was given.
Of course, protests could not involve comrcial and political matters, such as promoting soone to be the City Lord or advertising how great a product is.
Matters of ideology could be spread.
People understood what the authorities ant, so they cooperated well.
At that mont, the protests targeted two aspects: the Dove and Hawk factions.
Why was the ideological struggle between these two factions intensifying?
War!
Endless war!
Lin Ke had previously united the major forces of Naseng and established the Naseng Community of Common Destiny, which had already taken shape.
Led by the Insomnia Emperor, the Abyssal Council was ford with other Dominator-level powerhouses, copying various systems from the Great Wilderness Council of the Magma Territory.
The previous economic alliance had been fully incorporated into the Abyssal Council.
Similar to the United Nations, the Black and White Kingdom, Holy Life Alliance, Eternal Freeze Court, and Deep Sea rmaid Kingdom ford the Dominator Seats, while the Extre West Countries, Southern Peninsula Countries, Endless Ocean Path, and underwater forces ford the Legendary Seats.
Other systems were largely copied, such as voting systems, topic systems, etc.
At the sa ti, there was cooperation in multiple fields like military, economy, and science.
Now, the original tense atmosphere between the three superpowers had dissipated and was tending towards calm.
What was it like before?
The desire for the other side to disappear the next day.
If not for the Insomnia Emperor wanting to maintain Naseng's stability, they probably would have already pushed through one by one.
anwhile, other Dominators would poke and provoke the Black and White Kingdom from ti to ti, or sche to weaken its power, like the previous magical beast war between the Azanen Territory and the Lava Swamp.
But now, with external threats present and Lin Ke's variable existence, Naseng had united.
One of the main forces of this alliance was the War Alliance!
The distance between Naseng and Horus, the two super Main Planes, was shrinking, and so small-scale wars had already erupted.
The secondary planes within the radiation range between the two Main Planes had already made contact.
Like the sun leading a group of planets such as Mars and Venus forward, Naseng and Horus were also leading a group of secondary planes forward, destined to et each other.
This is the gravitational attraction between the two Main Planes.
As secondary planes t and wars erupted, Naseng inevitably experienced so unrest.
Thus, the Hawk and Dove factions, these two ideological systems originating from the Hundred Schools Conference in Great Wilderness City, spread throughout Naseng.
Now, these two thoughts beca mainstream, pushing aside the chaotic thoughts of Marquis of Tulip, Marquis of Giant Sword, and others.
Today, in Final Illusion City, the Hawk and Dove protests took place.
It was obvious that the Doves were in an absolutely weak position.
Even though there were a hundred protest groups, the total number of Dove protesters was still fewer than those in just ten Hawk groups.
"War is to strive for peace!"
"Strike the first blow to avoid a hundred later!"
"Survival of the fittest, law of the jungle!"
The montum of the Hawk faction was the strongest, after all, with the education in Great Wilderness City, everyone was basically sensible and wouldn't naively believe that a bizarre plane like Horus would offer Naseng flowers and embraces.
More like flowers full of eyeballs and embraces with gaping bloody mouths.
Therefore, most people still supported the war, at least initially as a war.
When Lin Ke appeared, the protests were almost over.
But he didn't pay much attention to the protests, because no matter how they went, they were just calls, propaganda, not ugly terms like "I can't breathe" or "zero-dollar shopping" from his past life.
So, Lin Ke focused more on the city itself.
He had visited all the new cities built under the Magma Territory.
The Swamp City had a peaceful and natural environnt, Sun Radiance City was harmonious, serene, and novel…
Each city had a vibrant sense of magic, nature, and science fiction.
Today, this city was the last one, nad "Final Illusion"!
All buildings in this city were layered with mory Stone cladding and connected to fiber-optic broadband from Faser.
The result was that every building was a large screen; office buildings could play comrcial content on their external walls, and residents could display beaches, deep sea, grasslands, etc.
Thus, the whole city was filled with illusions.
Moreover, all the streets here were pedestrian streets!
You could walk anywhere, with no worry of being hit by traffic accidents involving mounts!
What if you need to go far?
King of Electromagnetism Ove designed countless floating vehicles, coupled with mounts that had obtained a driver's license and a "Final Illusion City driving certificate," constituting the city's intercity transit.
Citizens just needed to look up or raise their hand, wave their ID card, and they could summon the vehicles or mounts from the sky, say the destination, swipe to pay, and enjoy the trip.
So, Final Illusion City was also called "City of Pedestrian Streets," "City of Taxis/Mounts."
When Lin Ke arrived in this last city, he looked up at the taxis and mounts cruising in the sky, feeling a sense of feasting his eyes.
The mounts required at least a tenth-level minimum, capable of flying non-stop for ten days without tiring, combined with the license and driving certificate exams, making them safe to fly.
As for the magnetic levitation taxis?
That's even more so.
You should know, Final Illusion City also had a "City Spirit."
Although it couldn't control the city as familiarly and skillfully as Magma Dragon Magnalos did Great Wilderness City, the probability of accidents like vehicle collisions was almost zero.
Thinking of this, Lin Ke took out his ID card and waved it towards the sky.
Instantly, a round taxi that had been cruising slowly descended from the sky and stopped beside Lin Ke.
People naturally stepped aside a little, if they didn't, the round taxi would release attraction and pull Lin Ke into the cabin.
Most pedestrians avoided it because they loved their city and wouldn't waste the taxis' energy.
And Lin Ke sat inside this sphere-like taxi.
This was a single-person taxi. If it were a family, they could summon two-person, three-person, or multi-person taxis.
After sitting in the taxi, a chanical voice sounded.
"Hello, sir, may I ask… zzz…"
The originally chanical voice, after a wave of electrical interference, turned into a slightly fawning voice.
"Honorable, supre, mighty Magma Lord, humble Charles is here."
