"Have you ever considered the consequences?"

A group of people looked at the man: "The disintegration program in our bodies, our families’ disintegration programs..."

"I know..." the man sneered coldly: "Do you think I don’t have concerns? What about my three sons, and you? Many of you are still bachelors, born and bred in the Demonic Path, are you really willing to keep being shackled and treated like dogs?"

"In the new world, we can be reincarnated infinitely. As long as we get in, we’re basically in a state of immortality.

But if that damned disintegration program always exists, then the sword of Damocles will forever be hanging over our heads, forever under someone else’s control.

Even if you possess enormous talents, you can’t turn the situation around. What’s the point of such a life?"

The burly man stood up excitedly: "It’s a world of asuras, filled with man-eating demons. Look at the latest reports, places in the north where populations of billions are devoured by demons. Are we really taking risks of being skinned alive, just to pave the way for the noble families’ offspring?"

The crowd: "....."

"But what can you do about it?" Xuu Min frowned: "From the moment that program was locked onto us, our fates were destined to be out of our control."

"Then we remove that shackle!"

The crowd was shocked, but none spoke out.

After a long silence, it was Xuu Min who finally said, "Li Chong, if you have a plan, just say it, there’s no need to keep us in suspense here.

Those present, even if they have no families, won’t easily gamble their lives and fortunes.

If you don’t have a viable plan, once we leave this room, we’ll report you! "

"Report me? What good does that do you?" The man named Li Chong sneered coldly: "Will those above throw you a bone?"

"Say that again?"

"What if I do?"

"Enough, Li Chong!" the burly man who had been silent in the middle finally spoke up: "Since that Wang Ye managed to get you on board, he must have some method, right? Let’s hear it. Even if there’s no success, I guarantee with my life that today’s matters will not be leaked, just like you said, it’s no good for us to spill the beans.

Even if we don’t join in, we hope you make it! "

The faces in the room looked a bit better hearing this.

Indeed, it made sense. Even if the risk was too great to partake, nobody wanted to be the informer, because if it succeeded, it would be a perfect start.

The entire situation within the Federation could change completely, and for those who had been constantly oppressed, things could only get better. ..

Li Chong looked at everyone and broke into a smile: "Big brother always says what’s pleasing to hear. That Wang Ye said..."

"This..." The crowd was momentarily stunned after hearing the other party’s methods.

"Is that reliable? Are such abilities even possible?" Xuu Min heard about those fantastical abilities of the demons for the first time, feeling as though they defied the rules. Could such things be used without limit in Digital City?

"Why do you think the Federation has always been afraid to freely open up that world?

" Li Chong sneered: "Isn’t it because the risk is too high? Any high-level demon from there could subvert the Federation if it got into this game. Those people know fully well what the consequences would be, yet they can’t resist the temptation to do so.

In the end, the safety of the majority is nothing compared to the higher pursuits of a select few! "

"How about it?" Li Chong said in a low voice: "Ready for a blitz?"

Xuu Min’s brows furrowed tightly. He was a rather cautious man, but having dared to venture into the Demonic Path, he clearly had some mettle. If possible, who would want to stay restrained like a dog on a leash?

"We need proof," the one referred to as the big brother spoke: "Proof... that the person you mentioned, really has that ability!"

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

"Could this be overly risky?" In a corner of Digital City, Mister Tianji, accompanied by Wang Ye, strolled through the Red Light District. But to give credit where it’s due, this fellow didn’t seem as honest as he appeared.

Back when he served as the junior head of the Judicial Court, he was serious and never frequented brothels, yet now he was lingering here daily, even developing a fondness for tattoos and black silk stockings—his tastes were truly quite particular.

"Chen Qing has just gained trust. If this endeavor fails, it’ll surely lead to a rift between the parties, or even possibly to a direct closure of the Demonic World again."

"Chen Qing gained trust?" Wang Ye burst into laughter. "You must be joking. Which eye of yours saw Chen Qing gaining trust? If it weren’t for his own formidable skills, he might have already had a disassembly program installed in him."

"But at the very least, there’s a partnership, at least on the surface..."

"Whatever needs to be maintained on the surface, the other side will surely maintain!" Wang Ye said indifferently, "Even if this operation fails, even if they know what Chen Qing wants to do, they won’t shut down our world. The temptation of immortality, you know how alluring it is to the rich and powerful, don’t you? Just look outside the Dragon Palace, those Grand Sorcerers who’ve turned into flying head monsters.

Even after suffering such humiliation, such torment, they still willingly guard the Dragon Palace. What are they after?"

Mister Tianji was taken aback, then suddenly laughed, "You’ve only been among humans for a few decades, yet you deeply understand human nature..."

Indeed, putting everything else aside, just the convenience of immortality in that world was enough to make those great families obsessed without regret.

Even with someone plotting to turn against you right in front of your face, as long as Chen Qing claims it was his subordinates acting recklessly at the time, those families would have to grit their teeth and accept it.

At most, they’d just be more guarded in the future.

"Isn’t acting now a bit hasty?" Tianji frowned. "How long have you been here? Shouldn’t you wait until you’re more familiar with this place?"

"We can’t delay..." Wang Ye shook his head. "I haven’t been in this world for long, but I’ve noticed something.

The individual life energy of this world isn’t high, but their so-called technological capabilities are on a completely different level from our world.

Our world was created by them. The more time we give them, the more likely it is they will develop technology specifically aimed at our abilities. "

"And now, whether it’s your abilities or mine, they likely lack sufficient intelligence to quickly decode them in a short time.

Although we haven’t fully grasped them, they haven’t grasped us either.

I think under these circumstances, the advantage is actually on our side, especially since.

.. Mister Tianji’s ability to attract good fortune and avoid disaster is just too well suited for causing trouble, isn’t it? "

"The way you put it..." Tianji frowned. "What’s the reason for your rush?"

"I have an uneasy feeling." Wang Ye sighed and leaned back on the sofa, gazing lazily at the splendid ceiling.

"Chen Qing asked me to investigate that person behind the scenes here, and those so-called Federation people were eager to cooperate, yet not a single trace can be found. Such a powerful existence, and yet not a shred of evidence. It doesn’t feel right.

.. Either that person has already disappeared, or.

.. their infiltration abilities are far beyond our imagination. "

"He’s been planning since time immemorial, but to what end? I always feel that person is terrifying."

"So you want to destroy before rebuilding, to overturn the rule of the noble families and see if that person behind the scenes will show himself?"

"The best way to find the most hidden creature in the deep sea is to muddy the waters. That’s what I learned from hunting." Wang Ye spoke softly, "And Chen Qing can’t wait any longer."

"Oh?"

"Why did Chen Qing come to Digital City? Is it just to pursue the truth?" Wang Ye shook his head. "I know him best. He’s a man who will not rise early for nothing. What he’s eyeing is the high-potential transmigrators from Digital City. What he wants... is to organize an army completely loyal to him. Otherwise, relying on his current foundation, he can’t possibly win against that member of the Siao Family. "

"You think so highly of that native Emperor?" Tianji frowned.

"You excel in avoiding disaster. Aren’t you clearer than I am about just how formidable that guy is?"

Upon hearing this, Tianji fell silent. In the past twenty years, he hadn’t dared to set foot in Capital City. The reason was his greatest gift told him it was a place of great misfortune.

Back when the King of Qin confronted that person, the prediction he made also showed not a single chance in ten of victory.

Even with today’s Chen Qing, who seemed even more outstanding than the King of Qin, the hexagram still indicated... a less than one in ten chance of success!
