"Interesting, very interesting. You could still come back... this world... indeed, has allowed data life to evolve to an incredible extent." The woman looked at Chen Qing, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a strange glow.

"If it weren’t for your group’s nefarious deeds, data life could have evolved even better!" Chen Qing’s face was icy, his eyes filled with decisive killing intent for the first time!

No one has ever made him so firmly intent on killing.

In his lifetime, he has met many people, including many villains, Princess Chang who turned soldiers into living dead to achieve her aims, Emperor Siao who slaughtered countless beings for his desires, and the Ancient Worm that transformed billions into zombies just to survive.

But he has never felt this desire to kill because he knows that world is cruel.

Often, if you don’t fight fiercely, you won’t survive.

The Ancient Worm is a demon, its mission is to kill.

Princess Chang killed officers for power but could also give up her last bit of vitality to prevent bringing the Power of the Demon Statue back to the mortal world to continue harming the Human Race.

Emperor Siao sacrificed a vast number of his people, but he would also die battling for the Human Race.

These people are ambitious, but at least they are human. In that cruel world, retaining a shred of humanity is valuable in Chen Qing’s eyes, but these people in front of him are not!

His own era, at least in the Eastern Federation, has been without wars for hundreds of years.

Everyone is born in a relatively peaceful time where resources are plentiful; hardly anyone starves to death.

The upper echelons still enjoy many privileges, and the lower echelons can live not so miserably.

Although there are many imperfections, it is relatively peaceful and not so cruel.

But these people, these maggot-like beings, just for the continuation of their own power, even though they already achieve longevity, are still unsatisfied. They drag the entire world down under the pretext of evolving all of humanity. Such wickedness is unheard of!

"Malevolence?" Long Lidan laughed coldly at Chen Qing: "If it weren’t for you, this era should be very peaceful now. Look at the power you now possess, like a deity. Could anyone in that past era achieve this?"

"Without us, humanity would never have the chance to reach this point, nor could it evolve into such a perfect existence!"

"So, I should thank you, should I?" Chen Qing sarcastically laughed.

"You should thank me, at least you should.

.." the woman slowly approached: "Without us, what would you be?

A common single parent student, unable to find work in America because of discrimination, a worthless bug.

Without us, could you have become what you are now? Could you have realized your value?"

"I couldn’t..." Chen Qing coldly stated: "A group of maggots that will stop at nothing for their selfish desires, yet you still talk about your actions as if they’re noble. Is this how you hypnotize yourselves?"

"Still can’t reason with you..." the woman sighed and shook her head.

"No matter how many years pass, I can never reason with you creatures!" Chen Qing looked at her, his mind recalling everything he had seen these days.

Those events happened who knows how many years ago, but to him now, they felt as if they happened just yesterday.

The other party had trapped him using a replica environment of Abi Hell, but it also let him see everything from the past!

"Since you care so much about the humans of that world, why did you hold back then?" the woman smiled: "Don’t tell me you didn’t also want something for yourself?"

"I don’t need to explain to you!" Chen Qing coldly said.

Back then... he was just one step away from completely sealing these maggots!

Old Liu’s plan was actually very successful!

Externally, he used his direct lineage to enter America through various channels, preparing early for a mutual destruction.

Internally, he collaborated with his elder brother Pu YunChuan to design a natural prison for that group of people.

Once they entered, a bunch of towering maggots could never amass powerful forces in that world within a short period.

Indeed, that was the case. Even later on, though they weren’t dealt with, in terms of conquering that world, they were even less capable than ordinary people.

In a brutal world where power rules, those who constantly preach the law of the jungle are actually not very strong. None of the five Supreme Levels belong to them... yet they have the audacity to dictate strategies daily...

They merely feasted on the grace of ancestors, having a starting point that others could not achieve in their lifetimes, thus obtaining the power they have today.

As a big data life linked to supercomputers and possessing the highest qualifications, they hesitate to make moves in world domination, only daring to engage in petty schemes behind the scenes.

It can only be said that maggots are maggots.

But the world is unfair like that, such maggots... unfortunately, are the few who decide the fate of the world...

As for why they failed...

On this matter, Chen Qing also felt helpless.

This time he could clearly see how the plan failed.

One could indeed say it was fate, or perhaps it was just their nature...

The plan was initially very successful, even though those people were vigilant and guessed early on that Old Liu would betray, they did not anticipate the means he would use.

After all, they were a group of high-and-mighty individuals, each specializing in different domains, adept at manipulation, finance, or human psychology.

However, regarding cutting-edge technology, to say they knew nothing might be an overstatement, but at the very least, they understood nothing and even refused to spend more time to understand.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have failed to guess the possibility of data life being able to backup...

Indeed, initially, no one thought that Pu YunChuan, who had been removed from that new simulated environment, would leave a backup in that world and be able to return through it, because they thought too simply assuming that cutting off the internet would let them control a data life.

It was supposed to be a sure win situation, after all, playing the same game, with me having backend admin access, what are you going to use to fight against me?

According to memories, the Chen Qing of that time was also very commendable.

Even under such harsh conditions, at the age of ten, he managed to safely find the coordinates mentioned by Pu YunChuan through various hardships, obtained the critical data, and enabled Pu YunChuan to revive in that world.

Everything was fine initially, everything was going according to plan.

If nothing unexpected had happened, everyone would have become dead data when the Demon Statue suddenly descended due to the breakdown of reincarnation.

Without these ruthless maggots manipulating, a world war would most likely not happen, data life would be shelved, entertainment would develop better, and games would improve further. Then, even if one day the world faces apocalypse again and humans are forced to activate data life,

there would be more options at least, rather than having to enter this cruel world, perhaps there would be better games letting all of humanity live better.

But all of this shattered unexpectedly.

"It was indeed thrilling back then, but it was also because fate was on our side," the woman sneered. "I bet you guys wouldn’t have expected that at the critical moment... Pu YunChuan... would betray, right?"

Chen Qing: "....."
