Chapter 883: The Demon’s Role
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Lu Siya’s” words were akin to a giant ax condensed from lightning, smashing down on Meng Chao’s head and making it difficult for him to defend himself.
On a certain level, Meng Chao knew that Lu Siya was right.
Spirit energy training, rune technology, and genetic modification—these were the three pillars that would support Dragon City’s civilization in the bloody war with the Other World for half a century.
Plus, the foundations of these three pillars had all been built in the abyss of the ancient ruins, on the corpses of thousands of innocent citizens who had been forced to explore the ruins.
The Blood Alliance was an out-and-out demon.
But it was a demon that was overflowing with talent, ambitious, and had a strong desire to explore and conquer.
After the demon fell, its corpse turned into countless research data, experimental logs, and videos of exploration and cultivation, opening up a bizarre and exciting new world for all the transmigrators, and also allowing the latecomers to turn a bad situation into a good one, many detours were avoided.
“Think about it.. What if there was no Blood Alliance?”
Seeing that Meng Chao was silent, “Lu Siya” pursued, “If it was another organization at that time, an organization that was not so brutal, evil, or inhumane, if this organization still held the moral bottom line of the Earth era and had a little bit of conscience.
“It was certainly impossible for it to force hundreds of thousands of citizens to explore the ancient ruins like the Blood Alliance did.
“It was impossible for it to plant a bomb in the citizens’ bodies and release the poison on a regular basis, or to threaten the citizens with the lives of their wives, children, and children, and charge toward the mysteries of the ancient ruins like moths to a flame.
“It was even more impossible for the explorers to immediately put them on the operating table and slice them into pieces after they finally crawled out of the underground crevice after going through all kinds of hardships.
“At best, this organization can only do what the ancient ruins research center has done today. They can use astronomical benefits to sign a contract with the explorers so that the explorers are willing to take risks.
“They also have to prepare the most perfect medical conditions for the explorers. They have to pay insurance and pensions to satisfy the requirements of the explorers.
“As for those forbidden death zones that are too dangerous, even if the explorers are willing, the ancient ruins research center will not easily open them up.
“Just like now, there are only a few hundred mysterious incidents that have been affected by the ancient forces in Ruins No. 2. Not every single one of them has resulted in human lives.
“Under pressure, the various major forces had no choice but to jointly close Ruins No. 2 and conduct a comprehensive inspection.
“A few hundred cases, just a few hundred cases! In the era when the Blood Alliance would explore Ruins No. 1, this is nothing. It’s only a week, or even a day’s consumption.
“Of course, such an approach is very safe, very safe, and very humane.
“But what about efficiency? What about efficiency that can determine the survival of a civilization?
“Meng Chao, I’m afraid you have to admit that if the heinous Blood Alliance was replaced by any slightly humane organization, the efficiency of Dragon City’s exploration of the ancient ruins would not be so high. It would probably take us thirty, fifty, or even a hundred years to slowly accumulate the data, theories, and combat ability that the Blood Alliance had left for us.
“The problem was that Dragon City didn’t have a hundred years, neither did it have fifty or thirty years. We didn’t even have ten years!
“Not long after the zombie crisis subsided, the Monster War broke out.
“Between the zombies and the monsters, there was only a few years. It was a very important and precious window period.
“Fortunately, the Blood Alliance rose up strongly and seized the fleeting window period in an extremely cruel way. Before the beast horde came, they had prepared enough strong people and combat power for Dragon City.
“Although the demon that is the Blood Alliance is dead, the undead hovering over Dragon City saved our civilization in an extremely cruel and evil way.
“This is something that no bright, just, and humane organization that has the strongest sympathy for the citizens can do. Even the people who formed this organization are all heroes who are willing to sacrifice their lives, sacrifice themselves for others, and go through fire and water for their homes.
“The more heroes they are, the heavier the burden they will carry. In the end, they will be stuck in the mud and unable to move an inch.
“Besides, where can we find so many heroes?
“Meng Chao, do you agree?”
Meng Chao sneered. “Now that you mention it, I feel that the Blood Alliance’s leader is a pure and flawless saint surrounded by halos. So everything he does is for our civilization
“Of course, the Blood Alliance’s leader is not a saint. Everything he has done is not for the civilization, either. But is it important?”
“Of course,” Lu Siya said nonchalantly. “Since the ancient times, so many emperors and generals have created great achievements. Are they all for the country and the people, or for some magnificent and noble purpose?
“The splendid palaces and the buildings that can be called miracles were originally built to satisfy the selfish desires of the emperors or to win the favor of the gods.
“When the ambitions of the emperors were burning, billions of people would be wiped out. Their piles of bones would be swept up into a force that was a hundred times more terrifying than the debris flow. Only then would they be able to sweep across the countries and build a vast empire that spanned tens of thousands of miles.
“The construction of canals, the construction of city walls, the construction of magnificent pyramids, the solemn and solemn churches, the Royal Garden that was like a paradise filled with rare treasures... all of these would take hundreds of years, and tens of thousands of lives would be piled inside.
“So What?
“Tens of millions of years have passed. Countless empires have risen and fallen. Countless ordinary people who were like ants have been born and died. Everything that happened in the past has vanished. Even their roars and wails have long gone with the wind and become meaningless.
“However, the miracles created by the ambitions of the rulers who exploited the lives of tens of millions of innocent people in an extremely cruel way are still standing there, telling the latecomers what ‘civilization’ is!
“Meng Chao, if you and I had the chance to return to the current Earth, it is very likely that the civilization of mankind would have been destroyed by an all-out nuclear war. All the skyscrapers and laughter would have been gone, and the entire world would have been shrouded in terrible radiation dust and sandstorms. Even if there were survivors, they would have mutated into deformed and twisted monsters, like bullfrogs whose skin had been peeled off or spiders and ants that had been grafted together.
“But I believe that the pyramids are still standing there in the nuclear winter that is covered in lead clouds.
“Imagine, when you see the devastated land, the deformed ‘human beings’, and the rusted, broken walls that are covered in radiation dust, there is not a single trace of ‘civilization’ left.
“At this moment, you see the pyramids standing on the wasteland in the middle of the sandstorm under the lead clouds.
“In front of such a ‘civilization’, is the method and motive for building the pyramids and the slaves who died tragically thousands of years ago for the construction of the pyramids still important
“Perhaps, for the future people thousands of years later, the good and evil of the Blood Alliance are not important. In the early stage of Dragon City’s transmigration, the lives of millions of citizens are not important either. At that time, these things have already become history and numbers.”
Meng Chao took a deep breath and spoke resolutely as he uttered one word after another. “However, I did not live thousands of years ago, nor did I live thousands of years later. I lived at this moment and in Dragon City today!
“In my world, millions of citizens are neither history nor numbers. Their laughter and crying have not gone away with the wind. When I explored the depths of Ruins No. 1, I often found their corpses that had not completely rotted. I sensed that their souls were in great pain and were in urgent need of rescue!
“If you are really Lu Siya, you should know that I am an orphan who was adopted by Meng Yishan and Bai Suxin. My biological parents have long gone missing because of the war.
“In that case, my biological parents were most likely some of the innocent people who were forced by the Blood Alliance to explore the ancient ruins!
“My biological parents were most likely infected by the germs from another world and turned into deformed monsters in the depths of the ancient ruins!
“My biological parents are very likely to be on the operating table, facing those inhumane, human-skinned, real monsters whose hands are stained with blood!
“Now, do you want me to believe that these monsters in human skin, these inhumane demons, have actually saved Dragon City?
“Even if I believe that my biological parents and millions of innocent citizens who are killed by the Blood Alliance and wandering in the depths of the ancient ruins all day long, can they believe and accept it
“It would be meaningless for them to believe it or not, because they are all ‘stragglers’. It is impossible for any species or civilization to bring all the individuals with them. There will always be people who fall behind, and there will always be people who have to make sacrifices. If one thinks that ‘every single one of them must be protected and saved’, the result will be the destruction of the entire species and civilization.”
“That’s right,” Lu Siya said indifferently, “On this point, the Supernatural Entity, the Tree of Wisdom didn’t lie to us. I believe that you’ve also read a large amount of ancient information through the brain. You know that a large number of indigenous civilizations are likely to be scattered in the vast Other World continent, the deep sea beyond the continent, and the starry sky above the deep sea.
“Known as ‘natives’, the combat ability of these civilizations might not be as weak as the indigenous tribes on Earth. After being baptized by both the Ancients and the mother, it is very likely that they have the power to destroy Dragon City.
“The mist that has shrouded Dragon City for more than half a century has completely isolated it from the outside world. It is like... the ‘novice protection period’ in a game.
“The zombie crisis, the Monster War, and the extremely cruel competition among the human beings after the collapse of order were all like trials and tutorials for novices.
“It was precisely because we paid the price of blood that we were able to successfully pass the ‘Novice Trial’. Before the mist completely dispersed, we had grasped sufficient combat ability and were qualified to face the more dangerous and magnificent battlefield.
“If we were not willing to pay the price of blood, without the baptism of the Monster War, without the lunatics and demons of the Blood Alliance who forced all the people of Dragon City to cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate without caring about anything else through killing each other and brutally squeezing each other!
“We are still as weak as when we first transmigrated. How can we conquer the Other World and create the future? I’m afraid that the moment the mist dispersed, we would be torn into pieces by the threats outside Monster Mountain Range!”
