Can we count on them to deal with the ancient times?
Chen Qing fell completely silent, because what he was doing was actually not much different from what the King of Qin was doing: strengthening the human race, binding them to his own war machine, and finally using the strengthened human race to confront the ancient times!
The King of Qin's words were very persuasive to him!
He reformed the world, turned the tide by sealing away the ancient past, saved most people from the clutches of demons, promoted the coexistence of humans and demons, and brought good days to many.
Despite devoting himself entirely to humanity, he was ultimately betrayed by them!
If what he said is true, the human race's high-ranking officials have become greedy, even willing to gamble with the world for that sliver of a chance at immortality, and the lower-ranking humans are easily swayed, then a few words of public opinion could make them completely turn their backs on the King of Qin changed their lives and made their days better.
Is it really necessary to support this human race?
Is providing support really effective?
For the first time, Chen Qing was genuinely a little insecure.
Perhaps the path taken at the very beginning was wrong?
Perhaps he should also pursue a solo career?
Ultimately, the only way to truly control power is to hold it firmly in your own hands; the strength of the masses cannot be entirely controlled by your will.
Seeing the confusion in Chen Qing's eyes, the King of Qin smiled again, "I've seen your Divine Path Style. I don't know where your power comes from, but you seem to know something I don't. This thing is very useful, but your direction is wrong. Strengthening humanity by using demons to strengthen humanity is a mistake. Because if you follow your path, humanity will become stronger and stronger, but demons and aristocratic bloodlines are the ultimate gods. What will happen when talented people reach the pinnacle?"
"Won't this create conflict with the demons who were originally the Principal God? If someone with ulterior motives is exposed, and it turns out those Principal God were actually demons in the past, what do you think will happen?"
Chen Qing: "."
The other person's words made the future very clear: humans are never satisfied. If they truly reach that point, they will inevitably pursue something higher. And what will they do if the position of the true god is occupied and they want to take another step forward?
Chen Qing suddenly realized something: Could a conflict arise?
This is no ordinary human realm. The gods have incredibly long lifespans; if all goes well, they might live for tens of thousands of years. At that point, won't there be instances of the underdog overthrowing the superior?
As the King of Qin said, most of those who rose to power later were human and shared common interests. What would happen if the identities of many of the Principal God as demons were exposed?
They huddled together and then said that man-eating demons are unworthy of being gods?
Is such a thing possible?
Chen Qing felt a cold sweat pour down his back. To be honest, he had a feeling it was going to happen!
"It will happen!!"
The King of Qin seemed to see right through Chen Qing's heart. His voice was gentle yet carried an irresistible allure, and step by step, he pulled Chen Qing to follow his rhythm!
"They will do that, just like they did to me back then. They may call themselves humans, but they are ultimately not the same kind of people as us!"
"I—" Chen Qing swallowed hard. "What do you want me to do?"
The King of Qin smiled immediately. This newcomer was a clever man, and he liked him very much, as did this kind of communication.
"Originally, no new people were supposed to come to this world. That's what I predicted. The passage has already closed. You are an anomaly, but it's thanks to your existence that I was able to find refuge here and organize my former companions to plan the Ancient Dragon Palace."
"You're storing him?" Chen Qing looked at the other person with suspicion, genuinely puzzled. According to the other person, even if he had died, he should have been able to continue Samsara, just like A Li and the others. So why would he want to store himself in his body?
"Because I am the enemy of all the ancients!" King of Qin sneered. "Even if all the high-ranking members of the human race betrayed me back then, they couldn't kill me. But with the ancients involved, it's different, especially with the involvement of the Ghost Domain. My Samsara has been hindered by the combined efforts of several forces. The Ghost Domain can't control Samsara because they are all acting independently, and in their chaos, none of them can truly grasp the Samsara. But if they unite, it will be different. And coincidentally, I am someone who can temporarily unite them!"
These words were spoken with great confidence, and Chen Qing believed them completely, because all the clues suggested that the King of Qin of Qin back then was just one step away from changing the world!
"I was originally sealed away somewhere on the Yin-Yang Road, unable to Samsara. But your appearance opened a new passage on the Yin-Yang Road, allowing my soul to escape. However, having not experienced Samsara, I have no physical body and can only follow the passage you are in, parasitizing your body. I cannot appear in spirit form at will, otherwise those beings in the Ghost Domain will inevitably track my location and will spare no effort to use their supernatural powers to attack me."
"Think back carefully, in your childhood, did you encounter any strange things that happened, but then nothing happened?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qing suddenly realized. Yes, in this world, especially in the Central Plains, the number of demons was extremely small, unknown to ordinary people. But small didn't mean nonexistent. He had indeed experienced a few strange things in his childhood, but the strangeness disappeared the next day. At the time, he thought it was his imagination. Was it actually the King of King of Qin who helped him resolve it?
"Actually, in the original plan, I didn't intend to coexist with you. After all, my origins are mysterious, and I don't know if I'm friend or foe. So, the original plan was to take over your body and force your spirit to Samsara on the Yin-Yang Road. As for the consequences of doing so, I don't know. I only know that it seems only your body can be compatible with me."
"Then what do you want to discuss with me?" Chen Qing said coldly, "You want me to be sensible and give you my body?"
"Yes!" King of Qin nodded, offering no demonstration, but patiently explained, "But things are different now. Your Divine Path Style is very interesting; it can directly occupy the Yin-Yang Road, making it a nemesis of the Ghost Domain Realm forces. It also holds Samsara in its grasp—truly perfect. With your protection in the Underworld, your spirit will have a new direction. You give me your body, and you will dominate the Underworld, while I will dominate the Yang Realm. The two of us can truly coexist!"
"So, are you willing to join?"
Chen Qing paused for a moment, looked at the other person, and to be honest, he was tempted. If what the other person said was true, that A Li, the Five Great Misters, and Ziyue were the people from the company back then, then it meant that these people were his kind, and might even have been his very close colleagues and friends back then.
Joining their ranks and working together to change things seems like a pretty good idea, doesn't it?
As for the other party wanting power in the mortal realm so that he could dominate the Underworld, it wasn't a big deal. To be honest, Chen Qing's desire for power wasn't very strong. If he could truly be with his former compatriots, this concession wasn't something he couldn't give up.
but
"What do you plan to do?" Chen Qing looked at the other person seriously. "Also, can you tell me your name? I mean, your name over there!"
This person wants their own power, and they need to know what the other party plans to do in the future.
As for the name, he was also very curious to know who the other person was.
He was really looking forward to the other person saying a name he knew all too well; to be honest, he might even rush up and hug them.
Having lived in a strange world for twenty years, the excitement of learning that old friends were right in front of me was indescribable!
" Pu Yunchuan!"
"What did you say?" Chen Qing was stunned, her eyes wide Laoda!
What did he say his name was?
His name is Pu Yunchuan?
Are you kidding me? His name is Pu Yunchuan, so who am I??
I know some people might wonder, since they're from the Development Team, why wouldn't they know about something as popular as Divine Path Style?
This will be discussed in the next chapter.
