"We truly lack the ability to be self-sufficient."
"And we really do need certain resources."
"Food, for example."
"For me, for the Heavenly Devil Emperors of our race, or rather, for all clansmen comparable to God Soul Realm cultivators of your Myriad Heavens, we do not need to eat. We do not need grain, oil, rice, flour, fruits, or vegetables. Once we reach this realm, just as cultivators of your Myriad Heavens can absorb spiritual energy to obtain the nutrients they need, we can also use spiritual energy to sustain ourselves."
"But for newborns..."
"For clansmen below the God Soul Realm..."
"After all, there are still three realms before that."
"The Sensing Realm, Spirit Movement Realm, and Spirit Wheel Realm."
"They still need to eat."
"This is the most basic matter of survival. It has nothing to do with indulging one's appetite."
"To put it another way..."
"I enjoy drinking and eating meat."
"But I do not need to obtain nutrients through drinking and eating meat."
"Nor do I need those nutrients to sustain my life."
"So, when necessary..."
"I can abstain from alcohol and meat."
"And save those supplies for children who need them."
"But even so, it is still a drop in the bucket."
"Then, clearly..."
"There is only one path left to us."
"Plunder!"
The Heavenly Evil God knew very well that what he had said would inevitably displease Lu Yuan. But since he had decided to be frank, he might as well be frank to the end.
To put it bluntly.
He had finally managed to keep Lu Yuan here.
Lu Yuan was willing to listen to his explanation.
There was truly no point in playing any more petty tricks.
Therefore, even as he laid everything bare, the Heavenly Evil God immediately tried to make amends.
