“What possibility?”
Immediately, everyone looked over curiously.
“l was considering, can he only gain power through the death of demons, or can he become stronger through the death of humans as well?” Wang Ping swept his gaze across everyone, speaking solemnly.
At these words, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
That’s right, since he can become stronger through demons, there’s a high possibility he can become stronger through humans as well.
If that’s the case, then the enemy’s purpose is obvious.
He doesn’t want the humans to be wiped out by demons, nor does he want them to eliminate the demons.
His main goal should be trying to maintain the balance of power between the two sides, as well as stirring up conflicts, making both races fight to the death.
That way, powerful beings from humans and demons would continually be born, and then die.
In doing so, he can grow stronger without end.
Therefore, if not for the System Task, the final outcome of this world would be an endless struggle between the two sides>.
Unless, something changes, like the appearance of a Son of Fortune who discovers his existence and defeats him.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, if we hadn’t appeared, this would have definitely been a Demon Revival themed main storyline.”
Zhang Hu marveled with interest.
“In a sense, it’s indeed like that. We just don’t know who the Son of Fortune in this world is, or if he has already appeared.”
Zhang Jun’s gaze also became subtle.
“Whether there’s a Son of Fortune or not is one thing. If there was, the chat group wouldn’t have thrown us in here. After all, the strange thing isn’t a product of this world.”
Cai Yonglong shook his head and sighed.
“That’s true.” Zhang Hu and Zhang Jun both nodded.
“In that case, Chen Yao is probably a pawn of the strange force. Knowing about Chen Yao’s existence through its strength and secret manipulation of human insiders, it quickly nurtured her to counteract the demons and kill even more demons, which is undoubtedly the most beneficial thing for it.”
Immediately, Cai Yonglong looked at Chen Yao.
“Of course, if Chen Yao becomes too strong and can’t be controlled by the system, he would not hesitate to sell Chen Yao to the demons and let them devour her.’
“……” Chen Yao remained silent, as she had thought about this before as well.
If there wasn’t any group task, she would probably have died without knowing when.
“So, transmigrators and the like should still maintain a low profile and not reveal their identities and golden fingers. Otherwise, they’d just be inviting others to use them as pawns.”
Wang Ping also shook his head.
“I was too naive and careless.” Chen Yao bit her lip and smiled bitterly.
“Okay, let’s not talk about that now. Our task remains the same, find the strange force and kill it.”
Wang Ping took a deep breath and brought the topic back on track.
“Speaking of which… if everything had followed its natural course, the strange force could also be considered as this world’s savior, right? After all, without its intervention, the power gap between humans and demons would have led to the extermination of humans.’
Zhang Hu rubbed his chin and suddenly spoke.
Everyone was slightly startled.
What Zhang Hu said seemed quite reasonable.
Although, according to the strange force’s calculations, strong humans in the future would be used as pawns and die tragically at the hands of demons, thus becoming its power.
But, in a sense, it had saved most ordinary humans as well.
“Who cares if it’s considered the savior of humans or not, our group task remains the same: to kill it. Otherwise, we won’t be able to leave this world, and we could even face mortal danger. Chen Yao’s death would be certain.”
Cai Yonglong spoke nonchalantly.
He didn’t care much about the fate of the others in the world.
He’d be happy to play the role of savior and good guy as long as there was no danger involved.
But when it came to his own safety, he couldn’t care less about the fate of others in the world or of all humanity.
Just trying to survive himself and ensuring the safety of his friends was already his limit, he really couldn’t be bothered to think about anything else.
Wang Ping shared a similar perspective.
In the simulation, the only reason he came to a truce with the first Demon Emperor was not because he wanted to protect all humans, but simply because he didn’t want to fight the Demon Emperor, which would make him an easy target for the strange force.
When the second Demon Emperor emerged and suddenly attacked, he didn’t choose to fight to the death for the sake of protecting the human race, but rather because he couldn’t escape.
Facing two powerful Demon Emperors with Same Realm Battle Power, even with his talent for escaping, fully retreating unscathed was impossible.
Not to mention, there was also the strange force launching a sneak attack, which basically meant certain death.
Chen Yao was the only one with mixed feelings.
After all, she couldn’t leave this world and was destined to be tied to it.
If the strange force dies, the people of this world will eventually have to face the demons, and the future would be uncertain.
And she, too, is destined to become the cornerstone against the demons.
It’s not for the sake of humanity as a whole, but purely for the sake of self-preservation.
“l hope the Demon Emperor emerges later, otherwise… I guess I’m as good as dead.’
Chen Yao sighed softly in her heart.
She didn’t intend to ask Wang Ping for help in dealing with the other Demon Kings and Demon Emperors.
The relationship between the two was just that of group members. If she wanted Wang Ping to take action, she’d have to offer something significant in return to face the powerful Demon Emperors and risk his life.
But right now, she really didn’t have anything valuable to offer..
