A month later, the new Awake World United Conference was held, and Ruby indeed faced a round of criticism.
The Dragon Emperor announced Ruby's "charges" at the meeting. However, Ybur vaguely sensed that the Dragon Emperor somewhat protected Ruby by not disclosing the most dangerous consequences of her plan, only mentioning her sheltering of the Void Ghost King.
But this immediately made Ruby the target of public criticism. The representative of Xinlandon, chosen by Skoda, was a certain Reconstruction Party member who was also quite powerful, reaching the Seventh Rank, and almost laughed out loud during the meeting before suggesting that Ruby be sent back to Xinlandon's prison.
Since there was no overly adverse impact, the punishment for Ruby could be light or severe—in a way, simply sheltering the Void Ghost King could directly brand Ruby as an "Awake World traitor;" but conversely, one could also argue Ruby contributed to the final elimination of the Void Ghost King.
