Chapter 559: Chain of Doubt

It was daybreak!

Ling Pingan got up from the game cabin.

His memory of the Legend of Nightmare seemed to be covered by a thin layer of membrane.

He did have an impression of it, but he only remembered the general situation.

Moreover, most of it was blurred.

It was as if he had been playing a flat-screen game and watching a new animation.

However, some things still lingered in his mind.

Little Ke He thought.

Then, he picked up his phone. There was a number that he had never called before in his contact list.

He dialed it.

An extremely respectful voice came from the phone, This is Little Ke Seafood

I want a squid whiskers and a grilled fish Ling Pingan said softly, Send it over at 10 pm tonight!

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Meow!

His pet was calling out intimately at his feet.

Ling Pingan picked it up and gently stroked it.

The kittens fur was very soft and comfortable to touch. A faint fragrance entered his nose, and it smelled very nice.

Ling Pingan carried it down the stairs and opened the shop door.

The morning sun shone on the entrance of the bookstore, and the breakfast shop next to it already had people lining up.

Ling Pingan smiled. He carried Bastet and walked to the end of the line, queuing obediently.

He liked this feeling.

He also liked being a person who followed rules.

Not only because he was a gentleman.

But also because this allowed him to regain the feeling of being a person.

And it also allowed him to realize that he was a person.

And not a monster!

Zhou Ke put down the phone.

It was the weekend. Aning was watching cartoons on TV in the living room, giggling from time to time.

Zhou Ke watched carefully, then walked behind Aning and squatted down.

He asked very gently, Aning, Im going to deliver supper to a very important big brother tonight Aning, will you go with me?

The naive little girl nodded happily, Okay!

Zhou Kes eyeb.a.l.l.s under his human skin trembled.

The prophecy was true.

The great ruler of the past would eventually meet the fate of extinction.

Only his daughter could change this predetermined fate.

Aning

Was the daughter of the prophecy!

Li Shouyi pushed open the hatch of the game cabin.

He took a deep breath.

He immediately reached out and a special phone fell into his hand.

He dialed a number. This is Li Shouyi

Gather all the generals

Including the retired ones

I want to hold a Blackguard safety meeting!

He had learned a shocking secret in the Realm of Nightmare!

Now, he had to tell this secret to everyone.

Because, this secret would no longer be a secret very soon.

It was just as he had thought, that this world was going to change because of the Realm of Nightmare!

And it was going to change completely!

After queuing for about half an hour, Ling Pingan finally bought the steamed dumplings and tofu pudding that he had missed for more than half a month.

Aunt Cai quickly handed him his breakfast and asked, Pingan, did you have fun?

Ling Pingan laughed. The Imperial City Was so-so Actually, it wasnt fun! Its not as good as home!

Aunt Cai chuckled, obviously not believing it.

After all, the Imperial City held a sacred position in the hearts of most people.

Oh, right! Aunt Cai seemed to have thought of something and said to him, Pingan In two days, the Gonghe Party will be organizing a lecture on the streets. Do you want to go and listen?

Ling Pingan shook his head. Im too lazy to go!

Aunt Cai was also used to it because Ling Pingan had been like this for the past few years.

However, she still insisted on persuading him as usual. Go and listen Its always good for young people to listen more!

Ling Pingan smiled and shook his head, expressing his refusal.

In the past, he didnt want to go because he was afraid of trouble.

But now, he was also afraid of trouble.

Its better for me to interfere less in this world! He thought.

If he interfered too much, it would definitely not be good for this world.

Because the gift of fate must have a price!

Just like this current world.

It was because of him that it became such a mess.

Therefore, he slowly walked back to the bookstore with his breakfast.

Li Shouyi walked into the underground base of the Blackguard.

Ning Qinghong, who had not yet left for Jiangcheng City, was waiting for him.

Commander-in-chief The generals are all online! Ning Qinghong reported.

Yes! Li Shouyi nodded and walked into a s.p.a.cious modern command center.

The screens in there were all connected.

This was the Federal Empires highest security conference room.

It had an extremely strong anti-interference ability.

Whether it was electromagnetic interference or psionic power interference

None of them could affect this place.

At least for now.

The generals across the screens looked at Li Shouyi and stood up one after another.

Commander-in-chief! The generals stood up and saluted at their respective underground command and communication centers.

Take your seats! Li Shouyi waved his hand and sat down.

The generals saluted again before taking their seats.

Ning Qinghong also sat down.

Li Shouyi sat on his chair and said to the generals behind the screens, Everyone of you might have already known about the Realm of Nightmare

Everyone nodded and began to congratulate him.

The establishment of the Blackguard was a success.

This was already a public fact.

Many people had already joined the Blackguard and saw the authority of the Blackguard.

The honor shop

The Nightmare Authority

The Subs.p.a.ce

These things alone were enough to move peoples hearts.

Especially those retired generals.

This was because the honor shop had a variety of medicines that could restore their blood and vitality.

Although the prices were all above 10,000 honor points, this gave them hope.

But Li Shouyi muttered to himself and said seriously, What Im about to tell everyone is extremely serious!

As the founder of the Blackguard organization in the Realm of Nightmare

I see more things than everyone else

And Im even more sensitive!

As he spoke, he talked about the Mystic Bird Sun-circling Formation.

When the generals heard this, their eyes lit up.

The Mystic Bird Sun-circling Formation? Situ Hes eyes were even brighter. Isnt this the transcendental version of the Dyson Sphere?

The concept of the Dyson Sphere had been proposed in science fiction novels decades ago.

It was constructed to completely envelop the sun in a spherical structure, absorbing the suns endless and never-ending energy for its own use.

It even used the suns strength as a seesaw board to open wormholes in s.p.a.ce and make interstellar travel a reality.

From the description and concept, the Mystic Bird Sun-circling Formation introduced by Li Shouyi was a transcendental version of the Dyson Sphere.

The other generals began to discuss, If thats the case If we obtain it, wont we be able to start a great era?

Everyone in the Gonghe Party is like a dragon The Datong Partys vision of uniformity and unification Will have a material foundation to make come true.

They could use the energy of the entire sun for their own use.

Naturally, they wouldnt lack any material things then.

Even mortals could live in a honey pot from birth to the cradle for their entire lives.

Famine, hunger, and exploitation would all become terms of history.

Moreover, the so-called Mystic Bird Sun-circling Formation was an extraordinary formation.

This meant that it could still provide psionic power that would never be exhausted.

Perhaps even ordinary people without talent would be able to use psionic power in the future!

As for transcendent beings, they would not have to worry about resources almost entirely

As long as they worked very hard and marched on bravely!

Li Shouyi looked at the heated discussions of the generals.

However, he sighed. Everyone Everyone, do you think that the Realm of Nightmare is here to do a good deed?

Everyone, do you know where the honor points needed to exchange for the Mystic Bird Sun-circling Formation will have to come from?

He stood up and looked at everyone. The Otherworlds!

We will need to go to the Otherworlds and fight for the Realm of Nightmare!

Carry out his mission and fight tooth and nail for him

Thus, everyone quietened down.

Fight for the Realm of Nightmare?

In the Otherworlds?!

The first part was already a huge obstacle in many peoples hearts!

Because

The strength of the Blackguard and the Blackguard was to protect the country.

Just like the strength of the Federal Empire was to benefit the world.

Invasion?

Conquest?

Even killing the innocent and stepping on their bones to rise to the top

Was something unacceptable to most generals.

It was morally unacceptable.

And even more unacceptable emotionally!

This wasnt pedantry.

But because all the generals of the Blackguard knew this truth: those who were good at swimming would drown, and those who were good at fighting would die on the battlefield.

The butcher who killed would also be killed by others!

Moreover, once they started slaughtering others

Then, killing people from the Otherworlds would be killing.

Killing people from this world would also be killing.

Killing fellow countrymen would be killing.

Killing relatives would also be killing!

Swords never distinguished between the people you knew or not!

Especially the swords of violent organizations. Once they were raised, they could never be sheathed!

This was thousands of years of history that had told these generals the truth.

The weapon of war was something that saints only used when they had no choice!

A weapon that killed people would not distinguish between good and evil.

Just like how capital never distinguished between national boundaries nor good and evil.

And the Blackguard was set up to tame the transcendent beings.

Just like how the Monetary, Economic, and Work Safety Committee was set up to tame capital.

So, everyone knew.

As long as the Blackguard walked the path of strength and wealth, and didnt differentiate between good and evil, they would be on the path of slaughter.

The Blackguard would inevitably become an evil dragon.

An evil dragon that wreaked havoc and ma.s.sacred the world!

Have you ever seen a man-eating tiger that doesnt eat the rabbit in front of its own house?

Once that happened, it would definitely be an era of ritual collapse!

And in history, in the era when weapons were out of control, in the era where religious rites degenerated

There werent just one or two people who died.

Nor were there thousands or tens of thousands.

It was tens of millions or tens of millions of deaths!

Even from the recent example of the collapse of the previous dynasty to the establishment of Taizu

Half of the worlds population was directly lost!

Two whole generations of people died in the chaos of war!

With the current population size of the Federal Empire, the current technological level, and the destructive power of the transcendent beings

If it really became chaotic

Without the loss of more than a billion lives, how could it be an accurate reflection of the technological development throughout these years and the destructive power of the transcendent beings?

Immediately, an old retired general stood up and said, Commander-in-chief, please dont be old and decadent

Back then, when Emperor Gaozong ordered Chu, Li, and Wei, the three transcendent being ministers, to form the Blackguard, he said that

We should be the s.h.i.+elds of benevolence, the guardians of the law, and the protectors of the people!

Anything other than that is not what we should do!

Li Shouyi nodded as he listened. What General He has said is naturally the truth!

But

The problem now is

We are being set on fire!

Because Li Shouyi took a deep breath and looked at the others. How can we guarantee that if we dont raise our weapons, the others wont raise them either?

Everyone

From what I already know, there are Crusaders who intend to establish an organization for the international Holy Crusade Army

Theres also the Awakened Alliance that the ruler of the Republic of South Kunlun of Kunlun state wants to establish

Theres also the Olympics that the Greek states want to establish

The states in the Northern Land of Qin are also joining forces to establish the Asgard Alliance

In addition, the various states and even the various local powers that have been invited

Are all actively preparing to establish organizations

So, all sorts of resources in the Realm of Nightmare are being undersold

The prices of many things have directly pierced through the floor!

And these people These organizations

How can we be sure that they wont be like us, unwilling to become the p.a.w.ns of the Realm of Nightmare?

Li Shouyis words made everyone fall silent.

Because

Everyone was clear.

That, although it was a modern civilization now

In reality, the Land of Qin was still a society where the strong preyed on the weak.

Three hundred years ago, the colonists of the Land of Qin had burned, killed, and plundered the entire world, committing all kinds of evil.

The Shang dynasty tribes of the Northern and Southern Zhou were almost wiped out by them!

They had killed until their species were exterminated!

That was why when Taizu landed, so many Shang dynasty merchants had joined the imperial army from thousands of miles away to fight the colonists to the death.

Even now

It might not be so that everyone in the Land of Qin had become good people.

Otherwise, how could Kunlun state have become so chaotic?

Could it be that the people of Kunlun State intrinsically loved chaos, internal strife, and poverty?

No!

It was because their neighbor was the Land of Qin!

On Earth, the people of the Land of Qin were all like this.

Could they be counted on to go to the Otherworlds and become better?

Impossible!

And once the people of the Land of Qin obtained great strength through the Realm of Nightmare

Could they be counted on to harbor any good intentions towards the people of the Federal Empire of Xia after they returned to Earth?

Even if they were to discard these presumptions

And the people of the Land of Qin really decided to change their ways and become good

Then, how could they guarantee that the Blackguard of the Federal Empire would be kind-hearted as well?

What was even worse was that, even if the countries of the Land of Qin and the Federal Empire were to reach an agreement and everyone were to abide by the agreement

How could they guarantee and control the other forces from doing the opposite?

This was an unsolvable chain of doubt.

It was also the source of wars and conflicts.

Countless wars and disasters in history had started like this.

If I suspected that you wanted to hit me

I would want to strike first and kill you!

Those who did not do so were all killed in the end.

Thus, the entire meeting room was silent.

The generals on the screens were all dumbfounded!

Ling Pingan ate Aunt Cais steamed dumplings.

He closed his eyes in sheer delight.

Aunt Cais steamed dumplings are really delicious! He exclaimed.

The news was being broadcasted on TV.

It was about stories of striking rich in the Legend of Nightmare.

A certain man was poor and dest.i.tute before, but when he won the game cabin, it was as if he had hit the jackpot.

In one night, his life had changed.

He had money, a house, a wife, everything!

News like this filled the screen.

Even though he had changed channels several times, it was still the same.

Ling Pingan watched and his mouth pursed slightly.

The gift of fate has never been free! He said.

Who knew how many of those lucky people would live to see next years sun?

However, he had no intention of stopping them.

That was because he was already standing on a higher dimension, looking at the problem from a macro perspective.

In either case

I also hope that after I leave, this world This world that had raised me can continue to exist independently

He already knew that the universe was dark.

The universe was even more dangerous!

The Children of the Sun was the end result.

The book collections in his bookstore was proof of that.

He ate his steamed dumplings and looked at the bookshelves behind him.

Most of those seemingly ordinary books

Were, in fact, graves!

Every grave buried a civilization!

At least they were schools of thought!

They were once glorious and great.

But in the end, they became specimens, exhibits and collections.

Im really evil! Ling Pingan sighed.

Although he wasnt the one who killed those civilizations

His slaves had killed them to satisfy him.

I didnt kill Boren, but Boren died because of me!

Thats all!

But he was already a monster.

Although, he still thought of himself as a gentleman and tried his best to maintain his humanity.

But humans wouldnt be sad about the death of ants. They might even want to kill a few more for fun.

It was the same for him!
