Leaving aside everything else, let's just say that Holy City knows about Emperor's relevant records in this world, and most of them are collected in Holy City's ancient books.
Once Holy City ceases to exist, those records may be completely annihilated, and humankind's understanding of the world Emperor will become increasingly shallow, and this vital history may even be gradually forgotten. This is definitely not what she wants to see.
But she also knew that this was definitely not the best time to speak.
If at this time, she showed even a hint of wanting to save Holy City, Zu Hengyao, Xi Zhe or even Chen Lang, what would she think of her?
Do you think that her position is not firm, that she is yearning for old friendships, and that she is capricious, or even suspect that she is secretly colluding with the remaining forces of Holy City?
Although Shaja is not from Great Xia, he still understands people's hearts well and understands the importance of the word "stand" in troubled times.
Her position has always been firm. Fusion Magic has the power to transform human mages. It deserves to be spread around the world and worth being mastered by more people. She is willing to give everything she has to assist Chen Lang in accomplishing this.
But she knows better that war is always cruel. Once Holy City is completely destroyed, no matter what the final result is, what will be consumed will ultimately be humankind's own strength, and what will be lost will ultimately be humankind's own civilization.
On the one hand, she had a firm stance and partners who fought side by side, and on the other hand, there was a loss of civilization that she did not want to see. Faced with the dilemma, she could only remain silent, letting the entanglement in her heart tug at her repeatedly, and quietly waiting for Chen Lang's decision.
Chen Lang, who was on the main seat, tapped his fingertips lightly on the table. The sound of click, click, click was particularly clear in the slightly restless conference hall.
His expression was calm, and there was no trace of joy or anger in his deep eyes. It seemed that Zu Hengyao's eagerness and Xi Zhe's ambition were just passing clouds.
He had already seen through the excitement that could not be hidden in Zu Hengyao's eyes. It was the urge to witness a miracle and the desire to pursue victory.
I also saw through the ambition between Xi Zhe's brows, which was the restlessness of coveting power and hoping to achieve success in one step.
He also caught a glimpse of Shaja's fingertips hanging by his side curled up slightly, and the tangle and embarrassment in his eyes did not escape his gaze at all.
Chen Lang didn't hesitate at all. He directly ignored the scorching gazes of Zu Hengyao and Xi Zhe. He didn't give them a word of response and turned his attention to Shaja who looked embarrassed., with a calm tone but a bit of certainty, broke the stalemate in the hall. "We can be regarded as partners who have fought together to defend Fusion Magic. If you have anything to say, just say it bluntly. There is no need to hide it."
Hearing Chen Lang's active inquiry, Shaja hesitated for a moment and tightened his fingertips slightly, as if he had finally made up his mind.
She raised her eyes to meet Chen Lang's calm gaze. Her tone was a little cautious, but she still said frankly, "Chen Lang, I do not recommend the complete destruction of Holy City."
"What!?"
As soon as Shaja said this, the faces of Xi Zhe and Zu Hengyao next to them suddenly darkened, and there was a wave of unconcealable displeasure in their hearts.
Xi Zhe frowned, a coldness flashed in her eyes, Zu Hengyao clenched her fists, her expression full of confusion and impatience. She was simply blocking people's way forward and cutting off their opportunities!
You must know that destroying Holy City and controlling the right to speak on the five continents is their most urgent wish at the moment. Shaja's words are undoubtedly a pouring of cold water.
But after all, the two of them did not get angry directly. Even if they were already dissatisfied to the extreme, they could only suppress it forcefully.
What they were afraid of was not Shaja, but Chen Lang, whose expression had not changed at the main seat, and they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
Chen Lang seemed unaware of this, but raised his chin slightly and gestured gently to Shaja: "Tell me your reasons."
With Chen Lang's permission, Shaja breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone was a little more sincere and worried. "Holy City may have many undesirable things, such as being stuck in one's ways and even I know all about the suppression of Fusion Magic. But no matter what, it has been passed down for thousands of years and is the foundation of human magic civilization. If nothing else, this world alone has a profound impact on Demon Beast Emperor's knowledge is far inferior to that of Holy City from any other force, and those records are all hidden in Holy City's ancient books."
She paused, and the worry in her eyes became even more serious. "If we forcefully attack Holy City, even if Raphael is weak, he may not sit still and wait for death. Once he fights to the death, the ancient book collections and magic inheritance in Holy City may not be able to be stored intact. These are treasures accumulated by mankind for thousands of years. It would be a pity if they were destroyed by war."
Chen Lang nodded slowly, and stopped tapping with his fingertips. His expression remained calm, but he asked a question, which hit the point. "You are right, these ancient book inheritance cannot be destroyed in vain. But Holy City tree has deep roots and the remaining power is still there. It cannot be left alone, and leaving it is also a hidden danger, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Shaja no longer hesitated. He raised his eyes and looked at Chen Lang. His tone was extremely serious, with a hint of pleading and full determination. "Chen Lang, if you can trust me, I can help you control Holy City. I will go to Holy City in person to convince you. Raphael gave up resistance and transported all the ancient books and resources in the city little by little to Dubai for safe storage. After that, it is up to you to decide whether to disband Holy City or make other arrangements. This is the best solution at the moment, which can not only solve the hidden dangers of Holy City, but also preserve those precious inheritances."
At least, in Shaja's view, doing so will not further deplete the internal strength of human beings, nor will it burn down thousands of years of civilization.
She knew in her heart that Holy City had no possibility of continuing to exist. Chen Lang would never allow the legacy of Archangel to continue to exist, let alone allow a former overlord to have a chance to resurrect.
All she wants is to preserve all the valuable things before Holy City completely dissipates, so as to live up to the millennium inheritance and her original intention of being Archangel.
"Chief, you absolutely must not do this!"
After hearing Shaja's suggestion, Zu Hengyao couldn't hold it back any longer and immediately spoke to dissuade him, his tone full of urgency.
Allowing Shaja to control Holy City will not only delay the opportunity to destroy Holy City, but may also create additional complications and cut off their opportunity to control the five continents.
But he had just finished speaking, and before he could continue, Chen Lang slowly raised his hand and waved it gently to signal him to be silent.
The movement was unremarkable, but it carried an undeniable majesty.
Zu Hengyao's body froze, and when the words came to his mouth, he could only swallow them back. Even though he was still dissatisfied in his heart, he could only hold his mouth shut, his eyes full of unwillingness.
Xi Zhe also wanted to persuade, but seeing Chen Lang's expression, he finally suppressed the restlessness in his heart, but his brows were still furrowed, quietly waiting for Chen Lang's decision, praying secretly in his heart, hoping that Chen Lang would not agree to Shaja's proposal.
Just when the two of them were filled with anxiety, Chen Lang nodded slowly, his tone flat but completely casual. "Okay, then just do as you say."
He Chen Lang does things without having to explain anything to his subordinates.
A hint of surprise flashed through Shaja's eyes for a moment, and then he regained his composure, nodding solemnly to Chen Lang: "Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter and never betray your trust."
In fact, Shaja clearly understands the importance of Holy City ancient books and resources, so why not Chen Lang?
It would indeed be a pity if those millennium inheritances were destroyed by war.
What's more, if we forcefully attack Holy City, even if we win in the end, there will inevitably be losses.
Now Shaja has taken the initiative and is willing to take over the matter. It can not only preserve the inheritance, but also save him a lot of trouble. Why not?
