The external public opinion surged like a rising tide towards the officials.

The situation was urgent, and the Imperial Capital convened an emergency meeting where Dean Lin was invited to attend.

"Everyone, this issue with Thunder Tiger must be resolved quickly to provide an explanation to the public... Does anyone have any ideas?"

The elderly man seated at the head of the table looked around at everyone and spoke in a deep voice.

After a brief silence, everyone present began to voice their opinions.

"As everyone knows, Forbidden Weapons are of no use.

Now we must develop even more powerful weapons, otherwise, we cannot deal with Thunder Tiger."

"It's extremely difficult to develop weapons more powerful than **, and at least in the short term, it's out of the question!"

"Perhaps we should handle it passively. After all, Thunder Tiger has been staying at Changbai Mountain for a long time, and as long as we do not attack Changbai Mountain, the likelihood of Thunder Tiger launching an attack is low, and both sides can coexist peacefully."

"I think it's infeasible. The battle on the Great Prairie is the best proof.

Even if we don't provoke Thunder Tiger, it will still attack humans when necessary. A beast is a beast.

We can't entrust the safety of the nation to a vicious beast!"

"Every ferocious beast has a territorial instinct, and Thunder Tiger is no exception. It has already considered Changbai Mountain as its territory.

Your method, while effective, only reduces conflicts between the two sides and does not lessen the threat of Thunder Tiger to humanity.

Moreover, the costs are too high. How do we accommodate so many people?"

"..."

The empire's high-ranking officials were arguing with each other, proposing several opinions, but ultimately they couldn't come up with a feasible solution.

The elderly man listened to the discussion and frowned slightly. He turned his gaze towards Dean Lin among the crowd and said warmly, "Dean Lin, you've had quite a bit of contact with Thunder Tiger, you probably understand it better. Do you have any suggestions now?"

Upon hearing the elderly man speak, the crowd fell silent and looked over simultaneously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you might oppose what I'm about to say.

However, I request everyone to let me finish before you share your opinions."

Dean Lin stood up with a calm face, looking around the group before slowly speaking.

The people present showed varying expressions.

"Alright, go ahead! Everyone, listen without interruption."

The ruler nodded and took a moment to advise everyone present.

"Thunder Tiger can now not only fly but speak human language, clearly possessing intelligence comparable to humans, just like the mythical demons.

I know everyone wants to eliminate Thunder Tiger, and I am no exception.

However, I must regretfully say that Thunder Tiger is now unbeatable.

To resolve the Thunder Tiger crisis, we can only try to befriend it, abandoning any grievance with it."

"I propose that from now on, the Great Qin Empire should honor Thunder Tiger as the national guardian beast, offering some Spiritual Objects annually as tribute.

Only in this way can our relationship be eased. In the future, we might even leverage Thunder Tiger's abilities to handle tricky issues."

The devastated Dakun Region flashed in his mind as Dean Lin suppressed his guilt and slowly spoke.

Upon hearing Dean Lin, everyone present changed their expressions, all shocked by his boldness.

Thunder Tiger was the mortal enemy of their Great Qin Empire, yet now they were supposed to establish a good relationship!

"Alright, sit down after you're done speaking!"

The elderly man gave Dean Lin a deep look and said.

As soon as Dean Lin sat down, the other high-ranking officials couldn't wait to speak.

"Dean Lin's strategy is indeed... bold.

Offering tribute to Thunder Tiger is the equivalent of paying protection money; it's surrender!

No, I don't agree with this."

"Compared to other things, I think the stability of the empire is more important. Dean Lin's proposal is worth trying, and if it doesn't work, we'll think of other ways.

If it works, offering some Spiritual Objects is a minor loss."

"I think we can give it a try, pretending for the moment! Once our Extraordinary individuals develop, we can settle scores with Thunder Tiger."

"Indeed, though Dean Lin's suggestion shows weakness, it could buy time for the Great Qin Empire. We can't handle Thunder Tiger now, but it doesn't mean we can't in the future."

"..."

Though startled by Dean Lin's words, his proposal did offer a different perspective for the high-ranking officials present.

After the crowd voiced their opinions, the elderly man smiled faintly and said warmly, "I see most are in favor of trying it? However, a few oppose it, so let's vote!"

Then, the crowd started to vote, and ultimately, Dean Lin's proposal was passed with a high majority.

Dean Lin, who had been tense, breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, news that the Great Qin Empire honored Thunder Tiger as the national guardian beast spread, causing an uproar online.

People across the empire discussed and expressed their views.

[Thunder Tiger has killed countless people; what virtue does it have to become the national guardian beast of our Great Qin Empire? Hilarious!]

[I see this as a surrender to Thunder Tiger! Think about the destruction of the Dakun Region; how much damage has Thunder Tiger caused us? We can't bow down, we must continue to deal with Thunder Tiger!]

[Everyone, calm down, the empire's decision is actually wise. Thunder Tiger is beyond what the Great Qin Empire can deal with now, and making peace is the best choice.]

[Support the empire's decision, support Thunder Tiger as the national guardian beast!]

[Those opposing are speaking without knowing the pains, Thunder Tiger can even block **, what should the officials use to counter it?

If Thunder Tiger is provoked, it might really massacre the city.]

[Support, just don't let it massacre our Dakun Region, and I'll gladly agree with both hands and feet.]

[To those who oppose, screw you. You want to see our Dakun Region massacred, huh?

If you have the guts, give your address. Let's see how I handle you!]

...

Online, quite a few people from the Great Qin Empire held opposing views.

But more people supported it, especially residents around Changbai Mountain.

For instance, Dakun City was particularly active, as its residents had personally experienced the might of Thunder Tiger.

Anyone daring to disagree would be bombarded to the point of powerlessness in their daily life.

Thunder Tiger's resilience against ** was a blow to the Great Qin Empire, suppressing their hatred for Thunder Tiger beneath their fear of it.

Peach Grove Valley.

"Brother, brother, come quickly! You've become the national guardian beast of the Great Qin Empire!"

Nangong Luo, checking his communicator under the Bodhi Holy Tree, saw the news and shouted with a laugh.
