“However, if Shen Yuanbiao had died instead of Shen Yuanbao, the Blood Alliance wouldn’t have been able to control the Shen family and Universe Corporation.”
The university professor said, “Then, wouldn’t all our hard work have been in vain?”
“You’re wrong. Every piece of work we do is meaningful. Whether Shen Yuanbao is dead or not, no one can stop our ultimate goal of obtaining Universe Corporation.”
“What?” the mechanic asked. “Do you still think that the rise of the Blood Alliance will depend on whether or not we can control the small Universe Corporation?”
“Won’t it?”
!!
The university professor was slightly stunned. He pondered for a long time and frowned. “If we didn’t pay such a great price and even risked killing a Deity Realm warrior to control Universe Corporation, what would we have done?”
“In order to detonate Universe Corporation and plunge Dragon City into chaos, the so-called ‘righteous sects’ of the nine great cultivation families, who had joined hands to eliminate the Blood Alliance thirty years ago, revealed their truest and ugliest side.”
The mechanic coldly said, “Once the ordinary people, who make up more than 90% of Dragon City’s population, clearly recognize the true colors of the nine great cultivation families’ ‘n.o.ble disciples,’ they will be no different from the Blood Alliance who treated human lives like dirt back then. They will even be more hypocritical and insidious than the latter. Then, these ordinary people will no longer trust any disciple of the n.o.ble sects or even any superhuman.
“They will certainly do everything they can to request the authorities of Dragon City to restrict the power of the superhumans, especially the high-level superhumans, through legislation and other means. They will also thoroughly investigate the illegal activities of the nine n.o.ble cultivation families in the past decades.
“And this is destined to be something that the nine n.o.ble cultivation families and the high-level superhumans cannot accept.
“Once the conflict between the two sides completely breaks out, the nine great n.o.ble cultivation families have no choice but to use the iron-handed methods that the Blood Alliance used to deal with the ordinary people to consolidate their rule over Dragon City.
“When that happens, the nine great n.o.ble cultivation families will become the natural allies of the Blood Alliance. Many people who call themselves the disciples of famous families will gradually understand the many tactics of the Blood Alliance in the past—how reasonable and necessary those seemingly inhumane methods were.
“At the very least, the nine n.o.ble cultivation families will never attack the Blood Alliance until the problems of tens of millions of ordinary people are completely solved.
“And once the Blood Alliance encourages the disciples of the n.o.ble families to break the bottom line of the old morals, the old laws, and the old order, and we use part of the research results of the Blood Alliance in the past as bait, will we still be afraid that they won’t take the bait and join the Blood Alliance willingly or even proactively?
“Therefore, don’t worry about the gains and losses of each city and land. It doesn’t matter who controls Universe Corporation. As long as Dragon City can fall into chaos, the mask of tenderness between superhumans and ordinary people will be torn into pieces. Then, there will be no more power to stop the rise of the Blood Alliance!”
“I see!”
The university professor suddenly realized. “I was wondering why we took such a big risk to help Shen Yuanbiao a.s.sa.s.sinate Shen Yuanbao. It turns out that the focus was not on the control of Universe Corporation at all, but on destroying Dragon City’s old order!
“However, once the old order, which has been running steadily for twenty to thirty years, completely collapses, we will not be the only ones who will benefit.
“Don’t forget that the monster civilization has not been completely destroyed. There are still many monster remnants, who are known as the tenth Supernatural Ent.i.ty, who have long infiltrated Dragon City.
“We have calculated everything. Could it be that we are doing this for other people, allowing the monster remnants to reap the benefits and have the last laugh?”
“Monster remnants?”
The mechanic sneered. “They are just a bunch of stray dogs. What right do they have to fight us?”
“What if?”
The university professor patiently said, “Right now, rumors are circulating that the destruction of the monster civilization was actually intentional on the monster mastermind’s part. It knew that continuing the confrontation on the battlefield would be meaningless apart from exhausting the remaining strength of the monster civilization. Therefore, it chose to voluntarily give up on the front line and put all its resources and strength into the secret battlefield.
“If that’s the case, the monster remnants might be much more powerful than we thought.
“The so-called ‘breaking through the chaos and rising up’ is, in a sense, playing with fire.
“No matter what, the purpose of the Blood Alliance is to build a stronger human civilization and make the people of Earth the rulers of the Other World and even the universe. To achieve our purpose, it is a small matter to sacrifice the lives of billions of people. But if the monster remnants steal the fruits of our victory after all our efforts and sacrifices, it will be hard to escape the responsibility of death!
“Of course, your worries are reasonable, but the monster remnants are also part of the plan.”
The mechanic smiled and said, “Do you know how to make a heinous villain not look so bad and even make people willingly submit to his feet, firmly clinging to his thigh, and letting him manipulate them?
“Find another supervillain who is ten times worse than him as a contrast and a threat.
“The so-called ordinary people are all existences who bully the weak and fear the strong. They are ungrateful, shortsighted, and burn bridges after crossing the river.
“In the past twenty to thirty years, due to the constant threat of the monster civilization on the lives and property of the ordinary people, the ordinary people have praised the superhumans to the sky and boasted that they were ‘the human civilization’s war blades and selfless heroes.’ No matter how the nine n.o.ble families of cultivation took advantage of the market and acted arrogantly, as well as tyrannically, the ordinary people took it lightly.
“However, as soon as the monster civilization collapsed and the safety of Dragon City was completely resolved, the superhumans were no longer of any use to the ordinary people. Instead, they became a threat to compete for resources and opportunities with the ordinary people. Therefore, in the past half a year, the nine n.o.ble families of cultivation have encountered so many ordinary people’s objections.
“Do you believe that, if the monster civilization returns tomorrow, in less than twenty-four hours, the attacks, abuses, and investigations against the nine n.o.ble families of cultivation on the Internet will all disappear without a trace, and not a single word will be left?
“At that time, the superhumans of the n.o.ble families, who have been criticized so much today, will become the ‘heroes, guardians, mainstays, and sabers of the human civilization’ in the eyes of the ordinary people again!
“Therefore, even if the Blood Alliance does rise again and take control of the entire Dragon City, why do we have to completely eliminate the monster remnants?
“Leaving behind some unrivaled and terrifying monsters will make the ordinary people maintain the fear that their lives are hanging by a thread, forcing them to submit to the Blood Alliance and rely on the superhumans. Isn’t that great?”
