We Need to Figure Out Who Our Enemy Really Is (1)

"Don't mess with this, bro!"

"I am male, and I like women!"

"Your approval is putting a lot of pressure on me!"

Given the Silver Dragon King's harsh words and the awkward atmosphere in the room, Ye Qingcang was forced to think quickly and make an absurd joke. However, behind this joke, the fact that he was casually brushed off was also an undeniable fact.

However, Ye Qingcang was joking.

The Evil God King did not respond.

Instead, he swaggered off and sat down on the sofa.

He sat to Ye Qingcang's left.

Besides maintaining a reasonable distance between them, his silence was also a silent counterattack against Ye Qingcang. Although he knew very well that this move would be useless against Ye Qingcang, he also knew that Ye Qingcang knew that this move would be useless against him. But often, whether something is useful or not depends on the environment and the desired outcome.

So, a moment later.

After confirming that Ye Qingcang was not joking.

The Evil God King then spoke leisurely.

Half praise, half admonition, he chuckled, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that such a cunning and calculating person could be in the mood to joke... Of course, I'm not criticizing you, but rather admiring your mindset. Moreover, I'm now even more certain that you're very suitable for me... suitable to be my successor."

"I think I heard something terrible."

"Or perhaps I've misunderstood?"

"You want to choose me as your successor?"

Although Ye Qingcang had anticipated this, it didn't mean he would accept it. So, after a laugh that was hard to tell if it was genuine or not, he immediately waved his hand in refusal. "Although I've heard the story of Poseidon Tang San, who is also the only person to date to ascend to the rank of dual god, I don't want to be treated specially. More importantly, I am already the successor of the Asura God. Even setting aside the concept of 'one subject does not serve two masters,' I don't want to cause the Asura God and you, God of Evil Senior, to fall out because of me... Of course, this is a confident statement. There is also a more likely possibility that I have been abandoned, Asura God has transferred me to you... For both of us, this would indeed be a good thing, at least there would be no loss, but I would feel guilty. When did I, Ye Qingcang, become something that can be given away?"

"These aren't the main reasons, are they?"

The Evil God King casually sipped a cup of coffee.

After taking a sip.

Ye Qingcang's speech came to an end.

He then put down his cup and asked the question with a smile.

Ye Qingcang laughed as well.

Her tone was surprisingly calm. "That depends on how you see it... If you think it's a reason, then it can be a reason; if you don't think it's a reason, then it isn't... Besides, life is already tiring enough; constantly seeking results will only make it more exhausting. Think about it carefully, why bother?"

"To be honest, I'm not satisfied with this answer."

"But you're unwilling to answer."

"I can't possibly hold pliers and pry your mouth open to force you to answer."

"But at least in my opinion."

"Your answer was half-hearted."

"Because you can't convince yourself."

"Isn't that right?"

The Evil God King remained silent for a moment, then asked this question in return.

But his question was not intended to persuade Ye Qingcang.

It wasn't to provoke Ye Qingcang.

He was simply expressing his feelings.

However, before he could finish speaking, Ye Qingcang interrupted him.

"No."

You're wrong.

"This reason comes from the heart."

"It is also the origin of all contradictions."

"Perhaps you don't understand now, that's because my wording isn't concise enough. Let me put it another way, and you should understand: I'm someone who hates trouble, but as everyone knows, trouble won't stay away just because you hate it. I've given many people choices, but unfortunately, none of them chose the right path."

Ye Qingcang was not stingy with his words.

They didn't mind the Evil God King acting as their audience.

Just as Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena had said before.

This is an open strategy.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

A well-intentioned scheme that everyone willingly agrees to.

It seems unbelievable.

In fact, there are clues to follow. "Take Tang San for example... For someone like me who has the ability to travel between worlds, knowing history is perfectly normal. Even if this history is not that history, there is never any destiny. There is only whether I am willing to accept history. But the trajectory of history has obviously violated my original interests, because I cannot accept that Tang San and others have changed my home into another form and built Shrek Academy on the ruins of the Blue Tyrant Academy. I also cannot accept that my friend Qian Renxue ended up like that... So, many of the schemes you see are actually not my initiative, but something I was forced to do. If I could, I would also like to smoothly become the Shili Slope Sword God... Oh, right, I forgot you don't understand this reference... In short, it means I will wait until I have mastered my divine skills before I come out of seclusion."

This was the first time the Evil God King had viewed the entire situation from this perspective.

So much so that he was momentarily lost in thought, unable to contain himself.

Then, after a long silence...

He suddenly spoke.

His tone carried a hint of admiration.

Extremely rare.

"You're very proud!"

"Extremely proud!"

"Following on some of the psychological processes you just described."

"I think I understand your point of view."

"Even when you're dealt a bad hand, you still manage to outmaneuver your opponent at crucial moments... You protected everyone you wanted to protect in your own way, and eliminated everyone who stood in your way... Because from fragments of history, you astutely perceived that Tang San was merely a pawn used by Asura. Therefore, even though Tang San posed no threat to you, your cautious nature led you to take preventative measures... Therefore, you don't covet the divine position; it's merely a tool to you, and only the position of the Asura God is a tool!"

"In this process."

"You have many paths to choose from."

"For example, changing your mother's perception... I believe that's not difficult for you. Even if you want to do something outrageous, she's not your biological mother. She's your adoptive mother, but you could also say she's a child bride. Besides, she's not married. A beautiful woman is sought after by gentlemen... In short, you have the means, but you're unwilling to use them on her because you're a proud person. You'd rather fail proudly, go to great lengths to risk cutting off Tang San's escape route and taking precautions, than distort the image of someone who loves you... and of course, someone you love."

"For example, killing Tang San as soon as possible... This route is very feasible, especially after you obtained the Asura God Sword. With the support of the Asura God, you can kill whoever you want without needing a reason... But you are proud. You would rather hold back and let the first move happen than easily believe the history on the Dou Two side. Perhaps you have asked yourself, is what is recorded in history necessarily true? When I strike with this sword, am I killing the Tang San of history, or an innocent Tang San and my fear of Tang San... Therefore, you would rather see Tang San's true face before taking action and obtain evidence than rashly kill him."

"There are many, many more examples."

"But within this line of thinking..."

"You are indeed taking a defensive stance in the face of everything."

"Truly... admirable!"
