The Way Forward, the One to Break the Deadlock
After Light Fiend uttered those words, the office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; everyone fell silent.
This is a giant leap that Human Race must take.
Once the Wasteland Realm is destroyed, the peace currently enjoyed by Human Race will be overthrown, and the protective shield enjoyed by the Evil Cult will become the opening through which the Eerie Monsters enter.
Now that the Human Race wants to plug that breach, the Evil Cult naturally disagrees. However, the Evil Cult is also secretly observing the Human Race's every move. Once the Wasteland Realm intervenes, then war will break out.
The stability they seek will also be shattered.
This is a war to the death.
Although the unstable element, the Eerie Lord, has been captured, and the morale of the Human Race has soared, this is only temporary. The Evil Cult will not be more merciful than Li Chen. They hide in the shadows and never launch open attacks on cities. Instead, they gradually erode the human Human Race. Once an outbreak occurs, all cities will be affected.
So what should ordinary people do?
Is there any other choice but to wait for death?
They have no safety net, and any city they enter will become a target for Evil Cults.
At that moment, the Special Affairs Bureau be condemned by the people.
Even before the full-scale war began, the internal structure had already started to crumble, with some even turning to Evil Cults for protection—something they didn't want to see, but were powerless to do anything about.
Everyone possesses an unfathomable human heart.
Some want to protect their families, others want to protect their loved ones; their choice to protect themselves and everything else is not wrong.
Humans are both the most difficult and the easiest creatures to control.
What will people do when Evil Cult is seen as Justice?
This is the choice made by the Light Fiend.
If we make the wrong choice, Human Race will never be able to recover.
The Nine Sequence User are a joke.
Although each of them is Human Race, they act according to their own will. It would be easy for them to protect a city with their immense strength, but would they work together to protect everyone?
It's possible, but it's also possible it isn't.
For example, if someone possesses invincible strength, he will naturally protect everyone. But if he only possesses supreme strength, he will die. Given the choice between a city and death, most people would probably choose the former, at least they wouldn't die, and they might even be able to protect the city.
But there are also those who want to save all of humanity.
For example, the Light Fiend and the people present here.
There are just too many problems right now, and they are all at critical moments for the survival of Human Race.
Light Fiend glanced at the group, sighed, and said, "To be honest, I don't want to be the leader, neither in the past nor now."
"But if I don't step forward, who will lead the team?"
"This era may be coming to an end."
"If we win, we still have a future; if we lose, Human Race will never rise again. It's not just about the demons, it's not just about humans. Don't you agree Yu Qingnian?"
At this moment, all three of them turned their gazes to the silent Yu Qingnian.
The tense atmosphere grew increasingly intense.
Even a faint aura of pressure began to emanate from them. From outside the office, dark clouds rolled in the sky, thunder rumbled, and a golden holy sword hovered in the air.
Many people looked up in disbelief.
What incredible power this is...
Yu Qingnian calmly faced everything, saying, "Elder Gu said that the future is uncertain. I believe in the future that Elder Gu saw, but I don't believe in it. From the past to the present, I have never questioned it for a moment, because my student has been forced into becoming Eerie Lord by this so-called overall situation."
"I'm a stubborn person, so stubborn that I can even give up on my students, so stubborn that I only care about the results."
"I've trusted Elder Gu my whole life because he led us to protect this vast territory of Human Race, but this time I'm unwilling to trust him anymore."
"I'm willing to disrupt what's called the bigger picture."
"A single particle needs to be placed on the chessboard to stir up everything."
Light Fiend's face was grim, and his tone carried a hint of doubt. "So you want the Eerie Lord to live, or for us to release him?"
"This move was made because of you. I have the right to retain your current statements, because your words may not be entirely correct, nor necessarily wrong. But do you know how many ordinary people would not want him released? Do you want to see what happened in Huizhou City happen again?"
"You want to be the spoiler?"
"Do you want to let the Eerie Lord continue to wreak havoc on the world because of your words?"
A frank and unreserved critique.
Because they belong to the same seat.
Yu Qingnian observed the group, then said firmly, "The troublemaker... yes... I want to be that troublemaker."
"When you believe everything is right, that's a huge mistake, whether you're the Light Fiend or the Order of Justice, what you're pursuing is perfect peace."
"But what I seek is an end to the chaos that began 18 years ago for Human Race. We have never been on the same level; you desire for Human Race to shrink back and live a peaceful life within the walls."
"But I want to see who brought this world-destroying act to this world. This is a reform, and Human Race's only chance. You don't understand, but I do."
At this moment, Yan Qing spoke up.
"So you want the Eerie Lord to bear everything, even if it means the extinction of Human Race, just to go and see the outside world?"
"Just because he's the one most likely to become God?"
A height that Gods cannot even dream of.
They were all just one step away from becoming powerful beings in the Wasteland Realm, but it was that one step that blocked all the Supreme Beings. Elder Gu once said that a God Realm Human Race, and this Eerie Lord was born in this era. They selectively understood Elder Gu's choice, and that's why they had to take action to capture the Eerie Lord, otherwise the Human Race would be annihilated.
Yu Qingnian laughed sarcastically, "Bear everything?"
What else can he bear?
"Is it faith, or expectations for Human Race?"
"Everything he does is fake, don't you know that?"
"So-called parents, so-called family, friends—each of these was created out of necessity. You all participated, even the Evil Cult was involved. Tell me, what is real and what is fake?"
"I'm tired of this game. I want to be the one to break it. Is that not allowed?"
Light Fiend said coldly, "No, this situation can't be broken. Even if you want to be a troublemaker, it's impossible. Things have already reached this point. Perhaps Elder Gu has already guessed it, but it's precisely because Elder Gu is no longer here that the so-called future is uncertain. Therefore, I don't agree to you being the one to break the deadlock."
Even if he is the only one who can reach the God Realm, the Eerie Lord Li Chen cannot let him go.
Even if he dies at our hands, we cannot let him go.
At that moment, lightning blazed brightly around Yu Qingnian's body, and electricity flickered throughout the entire office.
Yan Qing also got into a fighting stance.
Suddenly, the lightning stopped.
Old Man Dun hadn't spoken until now, finally spoke.
Wine should be savored slowly.
"What's the rush? Although the world is indeed in chaos right now, have you considered the feelings of the people?"
"Or perhaps the feelings of ordinary people."
"I don't accept your so-called perspective. I'm just an old man with one foot in the grave, wanting to see people living happily together, wanting to see peace for Human Race. Gu Xingyun, in the end, is just leading you astray because of your so-called 'looking up to the future'."
"But ultimately, it was designed for the benefit of humanity."
"Regarding the matter of the Eerie Lord,' we can wait until the full-scale war begins, at which point we can determine whether he can remain in power."
"You little ones are now the pillars of the Human Race. If even you are not stable, what about those below?"
"Does that mean all those people have to die?"
