Can they really stand against the ancient beings?

Chen Qing fell completely silent, for what he was doing now was not so different from the King of Qin’s approach, both were strengthening the Human Race, then binding the Human Race to their own chariot, and finally confronting the ancient beings with the enhanced Human Race!

The King of Qin’s words... had a bewitching effect on him!

He reformed the world, turned back the raging tide to seal the ancients, spared most people from the claws of demons, promoted the coexistence of humans and monsters, and provided many with better lives.

But precisely by dedicating himself so completely to the Human Race, he ended up being betrayed by them!

If what he said was true, and the upper echelons of the Human Race harbored greed, even daring to gamble the fate of the world for a slim chance at immortality, while the lower classes were highly susceptible to instigation, swayed by mere public opinion to completely forsake the King of Qin who had changed their lives for the better.

Then, was the Human Race really worth supporting?

If raised up... would they truly be of any use?

For the first time... Chen Qing really started doubting himself.

Maybe... the initial path was the wrong one?

Maybe... he should also have taken the path of individualism?

After all, only by holding power can one be fundamental, for the strength of the masses is not entirely controllable by one’s will.

Seeing the confusion in Chen Qing’s eyes, the King of Qin revealed a smile again, "I have looked at your Divine Skills, I don’t know how you acquired such power?

But you seem to know some things that I do not, which are very useful.

However, your direction is wrong, strengthening the Human Race, using demons to strengthen the Human Race is the wrong path, because if you continue down your road, and the Human Race becomes stronger and stronger, what will happen when those with talent and the blood of noble families become the new gods at the pinnacle? "

"Won’t they clash with the original demon gods? Once someone with intentions reveals that those gods were once demons, what do you think will happen?"

Chen Qing: "....."

His opponent’s words made the future seem very clear, humans... are never satisfied. Once they reach that step, they will surely seek higher status. What would happen if the positions of the true gods were taken, and they wanted to progress further?

For a moment, Chen Qing seemed to come to a realization. Would conflicts arise?

This wasn’t the mortal realm, divine lifespans were long, and if things went well they might start at ten thousand years. By that time, wouldn’t there be chances of the lower overthrowing the higher?

And just as the King of Qin said, most of those who would surpass the current ones were of the Human Race, sharing common interests. What would happen if it was exposed that a great number of the main gods were actually demon in disguise?

Would they band together, then declare that the man-eating demons were unworthy of godhood?

Could such a thing happen?

Cold sweat streamed down Chen Qing’s back, and to be honest... based on his gut feeling... he thought it would happen!

"It will happen!!"

The King of Qin, as if he could see through Chen Qing’s heart, spoke gently and with a bewitching persuasion that was hard to refuse, step by step, pulling Chen Qing into his rhythm!

"They will do it, just as they did to me back then, they... may be called the Human Race, but ultimately... they are not the same as us!"

"I..." Chen Qing swallowed, "What do you want me to do?"

King of Qin immediately smiled; he liked this newcomer who was so clever and enjoyed such exchanges.

"Originally, no new people were supposed to arrive in this world, according to my calculations. The passage had closed. You are an anomaly, but fortunately, with your existence, I was able to reside and to mobilize the companions of old, to strategize for the Ancient Dragon Palace."

"You... reside?" Chen Qing looked at him puzzled. Indeed, he was a bit confused, because according to the other, even if he had perished, he should’ve been able to reincarnate, just like Ali and the others. So why reside within him?

"Because I am the enemy of all ancients!

" King of Qin said with a cold laugh, "Back then, even if all the high-ranking members of the human race betrayed me, they couldn’t kill me. But it was different with the ancients involved, especially with the participation of the Ghost Domain. My reincarnation was hindered by the combined forces of several powers. The Ghost Domain couldn’t control reincarnation, because they each did as they pleased and the chaos meant none of them could master true reincarnation.

However, if they were to unite, it would be different, and I just happened to be an existence that could briefly unify them! "

He spoke with great confidence, and Chen Qing believed him, as all the clues suggested that the King of Qin was one step away from changing the world!

"I was supposed to be completely sealed somewhere on the Path of Yin and Yang, not allowed to reincarnate, but your arrival created a new passage on the Path of Yin and Yang. My soul was able to escape, but without undergoing reincarnation, I had no physical body. I could only follow the pathway you were on and parasitize your body, and I couldn’t casually appear as a spirit.

Otherwise... I would definitely be tracked by those existences of the Ghost Domain, and they would spare no expense to use their Divine Skills against me. "

"Think back carefully, when you were young, did you encounter some things that were actually very strange, but later everything was fine?"

Chen Qing had a sudden realization. Yes, in this world, especially in the Central Plains, the number of demons was extremely rare, and ordinary people knew nothing about them.

Few... did not mean none. Indeed, he experienced several strange incidents when he was young, but they disappeared the next day.

At that time, he thought it was just his imagination.

So it was... the King of Qin who intervened to resolve it for him?

"Actually, in the original plan, I didn’t intend to coexist with you.

After all, your origin was mysterious, and I wasn’t sure if you were friend or foe.

The original plan was to take over your body, then force your spirit to reincarnate on the Path of Yin and Yang.

As for the consequences of doing so, I did not know.

All I knew was that only in your body could I find compatibility. "

"So what are you proposing to me?" Chen Qing said coldly, "Am I to be magnanimous and give you my body?"

"Yes!" King of Qin nodded, without any pretense, but patiently explained, "But now it’s different from before. This divine path of yours is very interesting as it can directly occupy the Path of Yin and Yang; it’s like the bane of the Ghost Domain forces, and it can even control reincarnation. Indeed perfect. With you protecting the Underworld, your spirit will have a new direction. Give me your body, and you’ll lead the Underworld, while I lead the world of the living.

The two of us can achieve true coexistence! "

"How about it? Are you willing to join?"

Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, looking at him. To be honest... he was tempted. If it was as he said that Ali, the five gentlemen, and Zi Yue were the colleagues from his company back then, it meant these people were his own kind and possibly even his close colleagues and friends from the past.

Join them... all on the same team, working together for change seemed... pretty good?

As for the other’s desire for power in the world of the living, letting himself lead the Underworld, it wasn’t such a big deal. Chen Qing, honestly, wasn’t too power-hungry, and if he could be with his kin from the past, giving up some authority seemed a small sacrifice to him.

But....

"What do you plan to do?" Chen Qing asked seriously, looking at him, "And... can you tell me your name? I mean... your name from there!"

This person wanted his power, and he needed to know what the other’s future plans were.

As for the name, he was also curious about who exactly the other was?

He eagerly anticipated that the other would utter a name he was all too familiar with. Honestly, he might even rush to embrace him.

Having lived in this strange world for twenty years, the excitement of learning that past friends were just before him... was indescribable!

"Pu YunChuan!"

"What did you say?" Chen Qing was stunned, his eyes wide open!!

What did he say his name was?

He said his name was Pu YunChuan?

What kind of joke was this? If he was Pu YunChuan, then who was he??
