Chapter 705: We Won

Choosing…

Jiang Chen actually already has a decision, and he could even represent the All-Human Race in making it.

But he still handed the decision power to Li Xueru and the other two.

After all, they are now the highest‑ranked, highest‑status individuals openly within the Human Race,

believing they will make the correct choice.

Sure enough, Li Xueru quickly made a choice.

He chose to cooperate with the Demon Emperor.

Lao Hong raised an eyebrow, looked at Li Xueru, "You mean we should let go of all the past hatred?"

Among the three, the one who fought the Abyss Demon most fiercely was Lao Hong,

and the one with the deepest hatred was also Lao Hong.

Lao Hong's mind isn't as sharp as Li Xueru's, and his analysis isn't as calm and rational, so for a moment he finds it hard to accept.

Li Xueru looked at Lao Hong, "What are our efforts for?" Lao Hong let out a light hum, "Is that even a question? To carve out a sky for the Human Race, to fight so that demons dare not come to run amok among our people."

Li Xueru said, "If Xiao Mo's cooperation with the Demon Emperor can be implemented smoothly, then in the future there will be no more Abyss Demons, and no more Dragon Race."

"There will be no more great wars, no more sacrifices; isn't that a good thing?"

Lao Hong's tiger‑like body trembled, slightly agitated, "What about the Demon Emperor!"

Before Li Xueru could speak, Yan Kuangsheng interjected, "You stone‑headed fool, why can't you understand? With the Abyss Demons gone, where would there be any Demon Emperor."

Li Xueru said softly, "From a historical perspective, the Demon Emperor has actually done a lot for our Human Race; although she has selfish motives, what's done is done, we must admit,"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Indeed, if there were no Demon Emperor, our Human Race would"

"be in a different situation."

Lao Hong still couldn't fully grasp it, but he fell silent. Li Xueru glanced at him, then said to Jiang Chen, "No need to mind him; he'll come to understand. His mind turns slowly; he needs time."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh; it seemed the truth was indeed so.

The first time Jiang Chen felt Lao Hong's profound inscrutability, he later realized he had been misled.

Li Xueru murmured, "But I'm still a bit unclear: the Demon Emperor wants to maintain balance, and there are many ways to do that. Why did she choose to stand on the side of our Human Race."

Jiang Chen whispered, "Because she has half Human Race blood."

With those words, Li Xueru's expression hardened completely.

Lao Hong even leapt up, and the solid stool beneath his butt cracked with a bang, shattering into powder.

Yan Kuangsheng wore an incredulous look, "That can't be possible."

After a brief shock, Li Xueru suddenly realized something and asked urgently, "Xiao Mo, the Human Race bloodline you mentioned, it's not from our world, is it?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "No."

Lao Hong and Yan Kuangsheng seemed to have heard something unbelievable, glancing at Jiang Chen and then at Li Xueru.

Yan Kuangsheng asked, "Lao Meng, do you know something?"

Li Xueru whispered, "Don't be anxious; I'll tell you about this in a moment."

Regarding various world information, Jiang Chen only told Li Xueru.

Li Xueru's energy affinity is strong, his mind agile; once he speaks, it connects.

Lao Hong and Yan Kuangsheng need a bit of time to accept.

Li Xueru, ignoring the two skeptics, said, "That would make it explainable; if the plan succeeds, did she ever say what she intends to do?"

Jiang Chen said, "Li Li An didn't say"

"but I think she will hide, waiting for a chance to leave this world."

"In the Fragment World, her ceiling is Half-step Super God; she cannot advance further."

"In the Fragment World there is his Soul Mark; even if she leaves now, it's useless, she will still be found,"

Li Xueru could understand Jiang Chen's words; although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could roughly guess.

Li Xueru suddenly thought of something, "Soul Mark… I recall something: the method of planting Soul Marks seemed to have appeared among the Human Race only a thousand years ago."

"It was precisely because of this method that our Human Race avoided many injuries."

"Could this method also be hers…"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Yes, she gave it to us."

Hiss!

Li Xueru said gravely, "We don't need to discuss this any further; let's follow her plan."

Li Xueru's words settled the matter.

Jiang Chen also basically guessed this outcome, "I understand; apart from us, this matter shouldn't be told to anyone else."

"Of course, they have no right to know."

Li Xueru also knew that the more people who know, the more troublesome it becomes. With many mouths to please, everything requires weighing choices.

As the strongest among the Human Race, they must lead the Human Race toward the brightest path.

Some sacrifices among them are inevitable.

Putting aside hatred is also inevitable.

Just like the cooperation with the Abyss Demon a thousand years ago, didn't both sides do it! After Jiang Chen left, Lao Hong and Yan Kuangsheng stared intently at Li Xueru.

They still had a bellyful of questions.

Li Xueru sighed lightly, "Not telling you is because I'm afraid you can't accept"

"If you want to know, first prepare yourselves mentally."

」

Lao Hong, with contempt, "If you can accept it, what reason do I have not to?"

Yan Kuangsheng said, "Speak up, we've lived half a life; what else could we not endure."

Li Xueru hummed, "What level do you think the strongest should be?"

Lao Hong said without hesitation, "Obviously it's Super Divine Level; the Human Race lacks a Super Divine, otherwise it could definitely suppress Abyss Demons and the Dragon Race."

Li Xueru chuckled, "Then what level do you think the adult is?" Yan Kuangsheng, knowing Li Xueru referred to Antares, replied, "Probably also Super Divine, perhaps a very powerful member among the Super Divines."

Li Xueru shook his head, "To the adult, a Super Divine is like an ant; a single breath can spray death over a vast area."

"Impossible!"

"No way!"

Li Xueru laughed softly, "Hold tight, I'll explain slowly…" Jiang Chen returned once more to the Divine Dragon Ancient City.

His cooperation with the Demon Emperor has been finalized; now all that remains is his cultivation breakthrough,

which is the premise of the partnership—if he cannot reach Super Divine and become the ruler of the world, the Demon Emperor's so‑called cooperation is merely a joke,

Jiang Chen has also considered that, should he attain Super Divine Level, he could entirely forgo cooperating with the Demon Emperor.

He would then be capable of exterminating the Dragon Race and Abyss Demons.

Even slaying Long Huang and Lilian would not be a problem.

But after learning what Lilian had done for the Human Race, he abandoned the notion.

A drop of kindness deserves a spring of repayment; regardless of her motives, Lilian indeed did many deeds for the Human Race.

That point must be acknowledged.

Moreover, Lilian has never killed a Human, and because of her, many Humans have been given new life.

Therefore Jiang Chen cannot

kill Lilian; such a betrayal of kindness, he cannot

While pondering, he had already left the Divine Dragon Ancient City, the Undead Wing unfurled, crossing the continent, soaring over the Wind and Thunder Sea toward the Wind and Thunder Continent.

Soon after, the Undead Legion reappeared over the Wind and Thunder Continent, beginning a slaughter of the Thunder Tree clusters and Wind Flower clusters.

This is the fastest way Jiang Chen can currently find to level up.

Under the Undead Legion's slaughtering blade, Jiang Chen's experience is soaring like a Rocket.

For millennia, Jiang Chen alone has been able to grind levels using the Thunder Tree clusters and Wind Flower clusters.
