"Alright." Wu Canglan waved his hand. "I'll only be back for a short time, just one day."
"The main reason I came back this time is because Ye Xiao is back."
Let's get straight to the point.
Wu Canglan's words were quite a show of respect for Ye Xiao.
The Old Man Black standing to the side said something to Ye Xiao.
"In all these years, you're the only person who could make the Principal make a special trip back."
Ye Xiao already understood the unspoken meaning behind Old Man Black's words.
At this time.
Old Man Black brought over two chairs and placed them directly next to Ye Xiao's bed.
Seeing that the two of them were sitting while he was still lying on the bed, Ye Xiao felt it was disrespectful and wanted to get up.
But Wu Canglan just smiled and waved his hand.
"We're just having a chat, so let's not stand on ceremony. You can just sit on the bed."
"By the way, how well did you preserve my Tinglan?"
Ye Xiao immediately retrieved the Principal's " Tinglan " from his Spirit Ring.
Seeing this, Wu Canglan chuckled and said...
"It's never a good idea to ask for something back so soon after lending it out."
"But I can't do anything about it right now. I've encountered some difficulties in the Abyss, and without my old companions who have been with me for many years, I feel that my strength is somewhat limited."
"Besides, the original intention of lending Tinglan to you was so that you could use it to get through any difficulties you might encounter."
"But looking back now, I underestimated your abilities. The speed at which your strength and capabilities have improved no longer requires my endorsement, Tinglan."
Ye Xiao scratched his head, a shy smile appearing on his face.
" Principal, your skill in praising people is truly remarkable."
Wu Canglan laughed heartily, "I'm just stating the facts."
He took his " Tinglan " back from Ye Xiao.
But Ye Xiao was also very curious.
What exactly are the difficulties the Principal mentioned?
What level of difficulty.
What would make things difficult for the Principal?
Even after Ye Xiao's battle with the Flame Demon King.
A new idea came to him.
With the Principal's strength, he could definitely kill the Flame Demon King if he wanted to.
In fact, the Principal's main battlefield is in the Abyss!
That's a more dangerous place than the Rift World.
It is also the root of all disasters in the world.
At this time.
Wu Canglan stared at Ye Xiao and saw that Ye Xiao was deep in thought.
He said, " Ye Xiao, is there a problem?"
"Let's just say it."
So Ye Xiao explained the confusion that had been bothering him.
After saying that.
Wu Canglan and Old Man Black exchanged a glance and both smiled.
Immediately afterward, Wu Canglan explained, "You're right. If I were to personally take action, I could indeed kill the Flame Demon King."
But that... is meaningless.
Ye Xiao heard the words "meaningless".
He immediately showed a puzzled expression.
Why is it something meaningless?
Wu Canglan said, "Killing one Flame Demon King Flame Demon King only lead to the appearance of another."
"Essentially, these king-level demonic creatures all originate from the Abyss."
"And the Rift World contains places connected to the Abyss."
"We have no way to isolate these places, so we can't stop the endless stream of King-level monsters from entering the Rift World."
"But in a Rift World, there is usually only one king-level monster."
He saw Ye Xiao looking bewildered.
The Old Man Black chimed in, adding, "In other words, the Flame Demon King in the previous Red Abyss World was among the weaker king-level monsters in the 88 Rift World."
"Because it is relatively weak, the Principal tacitly allows its existence. As long as it exists, the Abyss will not allow more powerful King-level monsters to come."
"After all, it's always better to have a relatively weaker King-level monster than to parachute in a powerful King-level monster."
You should understand this principle now.
Ye Xiao immediately had a look of sudden realization.
A worried expression appeared on his face.
"If I killed the Flame Demon King, wouldn't that mean I did something good but ended up doing something wrong?"
The Principal and the Old Man Black both burst into laughter.
Hahahaha!
The two laughed for a while.
Then Wu Canglan spoke up, "Who said it was a bad thing? You were able to kill the Flame Demon King at such a high level and such a young age, how could that be a bad thing?"
"This precisely proves that our human future has successors!"
"Moreover, you have already obtained ten years of ownership of the Red Abyss World."
"When a new King-level monster arrives, you can just kill it, right?"
"In fact, for the Human Alliance, bestowing upon you the title of Red Abyss World Lord is essentially a way to have you suppress the demons of the Red Abyss World."
At this moment, the Old Man Black revealed a meaningful smile.
" Ye Xiao, you probably don't know this."
"Who was the last lord of the Red Abyss World before you?"
Ye Xiao paused for a moment, then shook his head. "Who is it?"
Old Man Black glanced at Wu Canglan beside him.
"It's the Principal!"
Ye Xiao gasped in shock.
"So, Principal, you were the previous human lord of the Red Abyss World!"
At that moment, Ye Xiao immediately understood what the so-called " Red Abyss World Lord " really meant.
Essentially, they were high-ranking officials sent to guard the frontier.
Wu Canglan chuckled and said, " The Flame Demon King is someone I can crush with a flick of my wrist."
"But this approach only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause."
"Only by completely eliminating the Abyss can the root cause of all natural disasters be resolved."
"But the Red Abyss World is the best training ground for you right now."
"It's also a great place for you to accumulate resources, and even build your personal power base Lingxiao Society!"
Ye Xiao understood the Principal and the Old Man Black's good intentions.
Wu Canglan continued, "However, the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind; it's not wise for you to stand out too much right now."
"Your personal strength is not strong enough; you haven't accumulated enough substantial power and resources."
"These all require time to accumulate, and will become the foundation upon which you step onto the truly vast stage of the Human World in the future."
The Old Man Black said, "So, the Principal and I discussed it and decided that I can act as your nominal agent, jointly holding ownership of the Red Abyss World."
"But in reality, you are the one who truly controls the Red Abyss World."
Ye Xiao immediately seized the opportunity and asked, "How about you two each take one-third of the shares?"
"Just leave me one-third."
Upon hearing this...
Old Man Black laughed again, but this time, his laughter was tinged with sarcasm.
"You little brat, are you really looking down on the Principal's family wealth?"
"The wealth of the Red Abyss World is nothing special in the Principal's eyes."
"But you're still young. When you reach the level of Transcendentalist, you'll naturally understand that true wealth in this world isn't money!"
