Chapter 620: 610 Chapter: Divide and Conquer?

"David, did you see that?"

Within the group of white people, a woman who looked to be in her late twenties spoke angrily, "It’s barbaric, those poor people.

They just protested because they were dissatisfied with their lives, and yet they suffered such inhumane treatment.

The terrifying punishments I saw made my scalp tingle.

The people here are simply a bunch of beasts. .."

The others also nodded in agreement; the scene they had just witnessed was indeed disturbing, especially the public meat-combing punishment. The victim would faint from pain only to be awakened with saltwater, which made everyone’s skin crawl!

Some of the politicians had faces as pale as iron.

They had never imagined that the status of white people in this world could be so low.

Indeed, it was the white people who had broken the law at the beginning. They were unhappy with being moved again to an even more remote location, and they attacked a village at night, killing women and children. But wasn’t that a desperate act?

The Yellow Race here, clearly occupying someone else’s territory, quite rightly excludes others, taking over the best places piece by piece, despising and loathing the local indigenous people, prohibiting intermarriage, and almost entirely forbidding trade.

This kind of isolation and oppression is like driving them to death. ..

But then again, this game was created by Easterners, how could it possibly elevate the status of white people?

They use their narrowminded ideas to slander our race as people who don’t bathe all year long, are promiscuous, lazy and prone to violence, and are addicted to hallucinogenic drugs, completely writing us off as a waste setting.

Just thinking about being born into this environment made everyone seem a bit desperate.

No wonder Chen Qing agreed so readily; he dug a pit for them to jump into!

The new Ghost Envoy had not yet arrived, but they had already started to protest. Since their origins were unclear, and it was Chen Qing who personally instructed to bring them over, the managing Ghost Envoy didn’t know how to face these arrogantly speaking people and could only report the situation.

And during those few days, the Ghost Envoy tirelessly listened to their words of barbarism, inhumanity, and cruelty until his ears almost developed calluses.

He was too lazy to bother with these creatures.

Are they the barbarians?

The original inhabitants of the island were not ostracized at first. If it weren’t for the Western Sea Army landing and helping them clear the island of the living dead, they would still be hiding in some concealed mountains in Shandong, eating wild grass!

And how did they treat the people from the Central Plains who came up afterwards?

The allocated farmland was not well cultivated, their clumsy laziness not to mention, and they constantly had ill intentions.

If it wasn’t for stealing other people’s food, it was liquor.

As time went by, various crimes occurred.

The Northern People are naturally fierce—how many times could they be bullied without fighting back?

That led to numerous fights.

Could these addicts obsessed with tobacco even defeat the fierce Northern People? To put it in the words of some Northern People, one could kill two with a single punch without using full strength!

If it weren’t for officials sent to manage, those hairy ghosts on the island would have been eradicated long ago...

And yet, they actually think the officials are biased towards the Central Plains People?

As for why the punishment is unjust? It’s to settle grievances. Although the Northern People are fierce, once they arrived here with fields to cultivate and food to eat, most lived contently and warmly and did not seek trouble. But those people would cause problems now and then.

Especially those heavily addicted individuals who would cause trouble if not watched, and without any conscience, they would readily murder and plunder.

What’s more, some even started worshipping evil gods, conducting human sacrifices, hiding among the white people, and committing crimes from time to time, causing resentment to grow heavier and heavier.

If they were still treated preferentially, how could the Northern People continue to believe in the officials?

As for the prohibition of intermarriage, you’ve got to be kidding. These people don’t bathe for a whole year, and you can smell their body odor from ten meters away. Which family would be insane enough to intermarry with such people?

If it were up to him, he would just drive these hairy ghosts out early...

So, listening to these souls, which looked very much like the hairy ghosts, babble on for four or five days, someone who could make a decision finally arrived.

"Lord Tian..." the Ghost Envoy lamented, "You’re finally here..."

Tian Heng couldn’t help but smile as he looked at the other person, "What’s the matter? They haven’t caused any trouble, have they?"

"They wouldn’t dare make trouble..." The Ghost Envoy sneered coldly. "However, they’re really quick with their tongues, can make black seem white, and they like to interrupt others. They look well-dressed as if they’re someone important but clearly lack manners.

Nonetheless, they don’t have the courage of their convictions.

Despite their various complaints, not once did they seem to entertain the thought of getting physical. .."

He had long been displeased with that bunch and hadn’t made a move only because there were instructions from above not to provoke them without good reason.

But if they were to strike first, it would be a different story.

He would make sure they understood what it took for him to earn the title of a Ghost Envoy!

Most of the Ghost Envoys in the Netherworld were soldiers from the Warrior Army becoming envoys after their death, and due to the limited number of positions in the Netherworld, one had to be at least of Hundred-Man Squad Leader’s rank in the War God Army to become a Ghost Envoy.

If he hadn’t died young, in another half year, he would’ve been an officer of the Hundred-Man Squad Leaders, dealing with these weaklings would be nothing more than a game to him.

"Alright, go take a break. I will handle this..."

As Tian Heng approached, all the white people stood up.

They weren’t fools; just the sight of this man walking towards them gave them a nerve-racking sensation deep in their souls.

He was clearly not someone to be trifled with, especially the white man leading the team, whose expression was extremely wary.

He was a special forces commander from the Biochemical World, not someone unfamiliar with the world. He had seen the strongest Special-Class Warrior of the North America District, Mister Stahl, several times. However, even Mr. Stahl’s presence couldn’t compare to the man in front of him...

"Hello, may I ask if Mr. Chen Qing hasn’t arrived yet?"

"What’s your name?" Tian Heng asked with a smile as he looked at him.

"David Smith..."

"Hm... David..." Tian Heng nodded. "I will say this only once: in this domain, the Mr. Chen Qing you mentioned is our master, whom all of us refer to as Lord. Since you wish to enter the cycle, you will be among the Lord’s people. I don’t care about your backgrounds, but if anyone dares to call the Lord by name again, death! !"

"Damn it, what is this feudal nonsense?" The white woman who had sneered earlier gave the middle finger straight away, "Eat shit, yellow-skinned monkey..."

Bang!

The white woman who spoke didn’t even finish her sentence before her entire spiritual body exploded, with her remains twitching on the ground.

"Throw her on the Path of Yin and Yang, feed her to the wild ghosts!" Tian Heng commanded the Ghost Envoy behind him.

"Got it!" The Ghost Envoy immediately perked up, grinning malevolently at the white people...

How dare they be so disrespectful to Lord Tian? In the entire Jiangnan, even Lord Xu Hu of the War God Army needs to address Tian Heng with respect. Did these barbarians really take themselves so seriously?

David and the others dared not speak anymore. Their confidence had rested on Chen Qing not moving against them lightly, but now it seemed.... they were mistaken.

They must report everything to their superiors later and have the Central Federation hold Chen Qing accountable. How dare he?

"Does anyone else have an objection to what I just said?"

David and the others kept their heads down, not daring to speak. Damn it, what was that about feeding wild ghosts? He didn’t even dare to inquire further.

"Good, it seems there are no objections after all..." Tian Heng said coldly. "Now, the second matter, I heard from my subordinates that you wish to have your own Netherworld?"

The grim words scared the group of white people into huddling together, but David mustered his courage and said, "Respectable Lord, our request is not unreasonable.

We have been on this island for a few days and have noticed that your people from the Central Plains seem to be unfriendly towards the indigenous islanders. .."

"What does that have to do with you?" Tian Heng retorted coldly.

"It originally had nothing to do with us.

.." David was beginning to regret complaining about skin color issues. In hindsight, being a member of the Yellow Race didn’t seem so bad – it was a Virtual World after all.

In the Biochemical World, he was a bioengineered being anyhow, so what harm would it do. ..

But he had already filed a report claiming the acquisition of white skin as his achievement; he couldn’t possibly file another report contradicting himself now.

"We were thinking, since the two sides are so incompatible, allowing this to continue would only exacerbate the conflict. Perhaps... divide and conquer would be better!"

"Oh?" Tian Heng’s interest was piqued at this, looking at the speaker with intrigue, "Let’s hear it then..."
