"Damn it!"

By this point, Tianji could see that they had been outmaneuvered by the King of Qin, couldn’t he?

Having his hand chopped off, Wu Xing’s face suddenly flashed an eerie smile, unconcerned about his severed limb, and hastily retreated, "Someone come!"

Wang Ye did not hesitate, and without a moment’s doubt unleashed another wind blade, slicing the high-ranking officer before him in two!

"You shouldn’t have done that," Tianji said with an extremely unpleasant expression, "Killing a senior officer in the Federation will be seen as an enemy of all humanity!"

"He escaped quickly enough, at least they won’t be able to easily confirm it was us..." Wang Ye calmly stated.

"It’s useless..." Tianji said with a bitter smile, shaking his head. He then opened the network Old Yu had provided, only to see that the next second, a video crazily spread across the internet—the content was the very footage of Wang Ye killing Wu Xing!

Although Wang Ye couldn’t understand how the other party had achieved this, he instantly realized that both of them had been duped!

As the alarm sounded, Tianji sighed, "Let’s go..."

Wang Ye nodded and, pulling Tianji, quickly left the area using the wind movement technique.

"It won’t be easy from here on out," Wang Ye said quickly, scanning their surroundings as they hid.

"You’re telling me?" Tianji replied with a wry smile.

Wang Ye was smart, and he had anticipated that the King of Qin would use the ID of a certain noble family’s son to infiltrate and that the noble family would investigate, but the King of Qin had planned even one step further.....

Without much thought, one could tell that the other party had taken out Wu Xing, who came to investigate first, and then turned him into a puppet, specifically to bait the two of them.

As for why he was so sure they would come, it could only mean that the guy was as terrifying as ever.....

Now, with the process of the two killing a high-ranking officer broadcasted on the entire net, gaining the trust of any noble family or high official again anytime soon seemed almost impossible; under such circumstances, it was nearly hopeless to stop the other party anymore.

"There’s no chance anymore..." Tianji lamented, "Neither of us is a match for him head-on, and without the disassembly program, there’s no one in this world who can stop him now."

"Not necessarily..." Wang Ye shook his head, "There’s still Chen Qing."

"Chen Qing?" Tianji said, amused, "What can he do to turn the tables now that we have suffered a setback here?"

At that, Wang Ye curiously looked at Tianji, "It seems you don’t understand Chen Qing very well."

Tianji frowned at his words, "What do you mean?"

"Chen Qing..." Wang Ye said earnestly, "will never place all his hope solely on someone else."

"Last time he was trapped in the underworld, didn’t he entrust his only hope to you?" Tianji said with a laugh.

"Last time was a desperate search for survival.

.. He had no choice but to rely on me," Wang Ye shook his head, "But this time is different. This time... he has entered the game on his own initiative. If he has taken the initiative, then he must have made preparations in advance. With his intelligence, he won’t fail to predict the King of Qin’s moves, nor will he be unprepared. "

"You really think highly of him..."

"It’s not about thinking highly; it’s always been how he operates..." Wang Ye smiled, "Just wait, the King of Qin is formidable, I’m sure of that now, but I don’t think Chen Qing will lose to him!"

---------------------------------------

In the Eastern District location, as the passage opened, the King of Qin finally could no longer contain the excitement in his eyes.

Step by step, his plan had come to fruition, having hidden within Chen Qing’s body in a Spectral State for many years, he finally got the chance... this unique opportunity!

Actually, the threat from the command center was not that big to him. After all, shutting down vast districts like a nuclear bomb-style attack is not something that the Federation’s high echelons would crazily resort to using all the time....

But this was the best place to achieve his own goals.

What was the biggest threat to the Federation? It was that group of engineers who could shut down the Demonic World at any time, and the programs that could disassemble him anytime.

He had no idea how many copies of his disassembly program existed, nor did he know how many influential individuals held this lethal weapon. So, the best solution... was to destroy them all!

What did he mean by that?

It’s simple... Just destroy the Digital City of Huazhong District!!

Yes, that was his plan. Using the command center to shut down the entire Digital City of Huazhong...

Indiscriminate shutdowns, all those noble families, behind-the-scenes maneuvers, encrypted contents—once the power is cut, they all become irrelevant!

After everyone in the Digital City dies, he could slowly initiate the Illusionary Moon Project.

No matter how many lives he took, once the Illusionary Moon Project succeeded, everything would be restored to the beginning...

"I’m curious..." Chen Qing asked within King of Qin’s consciousness, "Why not just start the Illusionary Moon Project? If you modify everyone’s memories, wouldn’t you become the king of this world?"

"Didn’t Zi Yue tell you about the limitations of the Illusionary Moon Project?" King of Qin asked as he walked towards the passage.

"She really didn’t go into the details..." Chen Qing admitted honestly.

"The Illusionary Moon Project requires amplifying Ali’s power countless times, the larger it is the harder it is to control.

Therefore, complex memory manipulation is out of the question.

The simpler the command, the better. Otherwise, I would have been able to control everyone in the world with the Project long ago.

Second, the larger the scope, the lower the life forms I can control.

Inside the Digital City, there are actually quite a few high-level life forms. Although they haven’t become Transcendent, there are some who are on par with First Rank Magicians in the first phase.

These people can’t be controlled by the Illusionary Moon Project at all.

If any of them hold my disassembly program, I would be terminated immediately. .."

"I see..." Chen Qing nodded, "So, you simply use the command center to kill all those in the Digital City who could potentially threaten you in one go?"

"This is for future peace!" King of Qin said indifferently, "Most people in the Digital City have already enjoyed plenty of time. Dying suddenly like this is not painful, it is actually a decent end. On the contrary, it is the suffering population outside the city that constitutes the majority of this world. Many of them have been suffering for most of their lives, it’s time to give them new hope. "

"You do have a way of justifying yourself..." Chen Qing said with a smile, "Aren’t there any poor lower-class who came into the Digital City to consume? I’m afraid they also make up the majority, right? Since you’ve done something so ruthless, why bother to make it sound so noble?"

King of Qin halted in his steps upon hearing this, remaining silent for a while, but eventually nodded, "You are right..."

"Then how will you deal with me?" Chen Qing asked curiously, "After eradicating everyone in the Digital City and silencing all who know your disassembly program, you also eradicate everyone who could disassemble me. Surely, you can’t occupy my body forever, can you?

Once I recover, how will you handle that? "

"Just restart the Digital City in Huaxi District.

.." King of Qin said lightly, "Your disassembly program was made temporarily, its formulas and activation steps are all in Huaxi District, perfectly clear. Although the people outside the city live in poverty, there is no lack of high-quality engineers. Given a little time, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to understand how to operate the program to disassemble you. .."

"That’s really... quite thorough," Chen Qing sighed.

"So, are you willing to surrender?" King of Qin looked at Chen Qing seriously, "Jiangnan is your power base. If your spirit is disassembled, I’m afraid the Divine Path Sect will collapse instantly, right?"

"About that..." Chen Qing said with a smile.

"You can establish a Technique, pledge your allegiance to me. Once the Technique is set, I won’t kill you."

"Slavery Sorcery?" Chen Qing said with a smile, "I can’t bring myself to do something so humiliating."

"I swear, as long as you truly cooperate, I will never use this Technique to humiliate you. If this world can be restored to clarity in the future, I will definitely lift the Technique, and we’ll make a contract to prove it!"

King of Qin looked at Chen Qing, his tone exceptionally serious as he spoke, "Think about it?"
