"Back then, how much suffering did we endure following him? We all lived fairly well in reality, but after being calculated into digital lives, we were already without hope. Yet, when we reached that world, even though we had a new life, he did not hesitate to want to eradicate us completely!"

Dragon King Wang Lin took a step forward, his expression turning angry: "What was his reason?

Saving the world? Hah... Such a noble cause, to ensure no mishaps and for added security, he would rather abandon us, rather give up on the people in this world who were good to him and instead bring forth the monsters from the fourth version to end the world! "

"For someone like him, is it wrong for those below to betray him? Never mind me, what about the natives who once followed him? Is it wrong for them to betray him? You say the natives can’t accept outsiders, but has he ever treated the natives as human beings?

Just for a tiny possibility, he would sacrifice the entire world’s people—how is his nature any different from those disgusting nobility? "

"You sure have a way with words..." Ziyue looked at the other coldly, without a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

Chen Qing’s state at the time was not unfeeling. She had argued with Chen Qing many times before and knew the contradictions in his heart.

Of course, he was grateful for his family.

He went through several reincarnations, and each time he survived, it was because his relatives sacrificed their lives to create opportunities for him.

His mother, in order to lure away the demon, rushed out almost without hesitation.

Because the data model here was not complex enough, feelings had not evolved to their current complexity.

At that time, elders would almost always come forth to extend the juniors’ lifeline, the same people who raised Chen Qing from infancy to adulthood.

Compared to Chen Qing’s irresponsible real mother, they were so much more accountable.

Yet, Chen Qing still made such a ruthless decision. She herself also had many grievances and had discussed them with Chen Qing many times.

But the truth she came to know was that Chen Qing was uncertain...

Because in the original plan, Pu YunChuan had set up the activation program for the fourth version.

It was difficult to stop, and if that group of nobility found a chance to turn the tables, it could very well spell disaster for both worlds.

Rather than that... it might be better to sacrifice just one side.

But no one expected... that the program would back out in the end... No, it should be said that Pu YunChuan backed out.

"You talk as if you’re championing the people of this world..." Ziyue sneered, "How many people have you devoured? Do you think we don’t know?"

"That’s just how the setting is, what can I do?" Wang Lin licked his lips, seemingly savoring the taste of the Human Race.

He would certainly not truly side with the Human Race.

The talents of the Human Race are limitless.

Once they grow powerful, his own modest talents and bloodline might become delicacies on the table.

Instead of that, it’s better to keep the Human Race at the bottom of the food chain, with the power firmly in his own hands!

Ziyue’s expression became even colder upon hearing this. When Chen Qing wanted to destroy the world, it wasn’t just because of the opposition, but more importantly, he realized that people on his side had changed...

Many people... were no longer the passionate youth from before.

Even though they had already obtained a lot of resources, those people... those people... insisted on cannibalism!

Unable to resist their own desires, cannibalism was one thing, but many people became more and more deviant, committing acts against children, young women, and even many.... Events that were only heard of in the news were happening more and more around them.

Dragon Slayers... ultimately become Evil Dragons, a fact that became increasingly clear among his own comrades...

Even if they managed to suppress the nobility, would this new generation of nobility not cause trouble?

Would they not become the new nobility?

Just the same, these people are the same, they too will escape this world, attempt to start a third great war, and activate the end-of-world plans, in order to elevate their own status, without any difference... and they may even be more ruthless!

It was precisely because he realized this that Chen Qing became so extreme at the time!

He had even predicted these people would rebel and had prepared many contingency plans in advance.

Unexpectedly, Old Liu would betray, and even more unexpectedly, Pu Yunchuan would betray!

That was the real reason for the utter defeat back then!!!

"You think too highly of yourselves..." Ziyue sneered, "No matter how you guys think, you won’t affect the overall situation, because your role is so small, even giving you this Dragon King treatment, in my eyes, is already too generous."

"Say whatever you want..." The other party shrugged.

Ziyue’s sneer remained undiminished, her mind busily calculating the surroundings.

If it were only a Dragon King, there was actually a chance to take a gamble, but was there anyone else behind him? His actions must be supported by those secret forces, right?

Whether it’s sending Chen Qing to West Island or seizing Ao Zhen and taking over the Southern Sea during the Heavenly Master incident, these should all be part of the strategy of major powers.

Hence, she must know if the strongest combatant who came here is only the Nanhai Dragon King!

The opposing party probably still lacks sufficient intelligence on the Heavenly Master incident, and regarding her own strength, Ziyue does not believe that the outside world could have accurate intelligence unless the King of Qin wants to calculate against them or the Guard Commander is actually an undercover agent of those people.

However, both seem unlikely.

The King of Qin isn’t a fool; he is a native, and moreover, a native who has devoured players.

He almost completely sealed away the ancients in the past. For those secret forces, the actions of the King of Qin are even more terrifying than Chen Qing’s and his threat is even greater in the later stages.

Because he knows the benefits of devouring modern humans - by consuming any person from the Federation, he could gain more intelligence and knowledge; such a dangerous existence is impossible for those secret forces to cooperate with!

As for the Guard Commander... the initial betrayal might have been a sham, but becoming an existence like the Ancient Worm Clan indicates that he cannot be an undercover agent. Why would an undercover agent choose to be an Ancient Worm?

These creatures pose the greatest threat to the people of the Federation; upon discovering their location, they should be eradicated immediately. Why would there be a need for such roundabout methods?

So, it’s highly likely that no one knows about her own strength.

Endowed with the Power of the Demon Statue, possessing Spiritual Energy that could break through to King Level at any moment, and stashing the utmost refined Bai Yu in the cabin – whether it’s resources, power, or trump cards, she’s not lacking anything.

Facing this old Dragon King, to be honest..

. she doesn’t feel weak, even if he has the help of this terrifying Great Formation!

But if there were someone behind this guy, it would be different.

So, is there someone or not?

From the way he spoke, no matter how she mocked him as a dog, he didn’t retort. Under such circumstances, there’s a high chance that someone from behind the scenes is indeed hiding there.

But it’s also possible that it’s intentional, just probing whether she has the ability to kill him or not.

Should she make a move immediately?

Ziyue kept pondering in her heart. At this moment, if she directly played her trump card, she was 70% sure she could finish him off directly.

Without this King Level, even if his Great Formation is terrifying, she could still hold her own.

But if there was a second King Level, once she plays her trump.

.. then there would be absolutely no chance of victory afterward.

How to choose?

Chen Qing... if it were you, at this time... what would you do?
