Chapter 438: The Headache-Inducing Lion God Empire

"Come, let's talk as we walk."

Ye Cang said, coming to the old man's side.

Subsequently, Ye Cang recounted the situation regarding the primitive tribe on this planet to the old man truthfully.

As for the part about Malcador, Ye Cang chose to conceal it.

The fewer people who know about this matter, the better.

When the old man finished hearing about the situation of the primitive tribe, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Phew, that's a relief."

"This is far simpler than the Lion God Empire."

"I will go with you to see Yong first, then return to begin the deployment; if all goes well, and with the help of these primitive people, we can resolve most of the infrastructure within a month."

"Let their civilization step directly into the same era as ours."

"However..."

When he reached this point, a look of worry appeared on the old man's face.

"Please say whatever is on your mind, do not hesitate," Ye Cang said.

With these words from Ye Cang, the old man also stated his concerns directly.

"From your description, these primitive people are quite skilled at manual labor, but for industrial issues, we can only bring in personnel from Earth."

"But the consequence of doing this is that the industrial lifeline of this planet will be controlled by us; will they agree to this?"

Ye Cang had already considered the problem the old man mentioned.

Yong and his people are natural warriors.

It is perfectly normal that they are not skilled in other things, and Yong and his people are very aware of this themselves.

Therefore, he had already discussed these matters with Yong.

The answer Yong gave was:

He is willing to let him have full authority, as long as his tribesmen are not treated harshly.

"No need to worry about this," Ye Cang said while walking.

"I can make the decision for them; you only need to be responsible for the construction and overseeing the big picture."

Seeing Ye Cang's tone was so certain, the old man did not say much more.

"Fine, then I'll listen to you."

Soon the two arrived near the tribe.

At this moment, the old man suddenly sighed.

"Sigh..."

Ye Cang looked at the old man in confusion.

"Why are you sighing all of a sudden?"

"I remember you weren't like this before."

The old man waved his hand and found a rock to sit down on.

Only then did he speak: "Don't mention it, it's all because of that Lion God Empire."

Up to this point, this was the second time the old man had mentioned the Lion God Empire.

This made Ye Cang, who was not curious before, become curious.

Even if the Lion God Empire is troublesome, so what?

Don't forget, the old man is also the ruler of a nation; for him, governing a country should be a task he can handle with ease.

"What exactly happened with the Lion God Empire?" Ye Cang said, sitting down beside the old man.

"Although that Empire is rotten and deformed, it shouldn't be enough to give you a headache, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the old man couldn't help but sigh again.

"Sigh..."

"The Lion God Empire can no longer be described as just rotten; other countries are at most rotten to the core, but the Lion God Empire is rotten right down to the bones!"

Rotten right down to the bones?

What kind of rot is that?

Looking at the curious Ye Cang, the old man began to recount it.

According to the old man's initial estimation, changing the Lion God Empire wouldn't take much time.

But after he carefully examined the situation of the entire Empire, he immediately understood that this was a hot potato.

First, there were those nobles.

After Laion III died, those nobles directly declared themselves kings and seized various resources.

Besides that, all kinds of voices appeared throughout the Empire, such as armies claiming to be saviors, as well as various cults.

The purpose of their existence was to amass wealth.

If it were only this, it really wouldn't count as trouble.

The most troublesome part was the people of the Lion God Empire.

They are already numb, like walking corpses, unable to be awakened; for them, as long as they are alive, that is enough.

If they die... that is also fine.

In short, all these situations combined made it impossible for the old man's work to get underway.

After hearing the old man's account, Ye Cang immediately thought of a solution, but just as he was about to say it, he closed his mouth.

Because he believed that the old man must have also thought of such a simple solution.

As for why the old man didn't use it, he must have had his own reasons.

Sure enough, the old man then said, "Actually, the solution to this situation is really very simple."

"I believe you have thought of it too, but I do not want to do that."

"If I were to do that, wouldn't it go against... the original intent of Huaxia?"

As he spoke, the old man sighed again.

Ye Cang, however, did not speak.

Everyone has their own principles to uphold; regarding this point, it was truly not his place to say much.

He could only comfort the old man.

"You don't need to be so pessimistic; perhaps a turning point will appear soon."

Upon hearing this, the old man laughed.

"Hahaha, it is rare for you, little Cang, to comfort someone."

"However, I am very clear that a turning point will not appear."

"And I am not some old fossil; if there really is no other way, then that method must be used, and then let time change them bit by bit."

"Alright, let's get down to business! Let's go to Yong's side."

Having finished speaking, the two stood up and walked into the tribe, where they met Yong.

Before long, the old man and Yong became familiar with each other and began discussing various matters, both large and small.

As for Ye Cang, he went outside alone, found a deserted spot, and sat down.

He now had to figure out why Malcador had appeared here!

If he did not get to the bottom of this matter, he would truly be unable to eat or sleep in peace.

The Dimensional Wall was no small matter.

"System, explain."

"Why Malcador would appear here—this is no small matter."

"You should understand that since Malcador can appear here, it means the Four Ruinous Powers could also potentially appear here."

"If those four were to appear, then things would be troublesome!"

Upon hearing Ye Cang's words, the system immediately appeared.

【Rest assured, rest assured, the Dimensional Wall has definitely not broken; regarding this matter, I can guarantee it.】

【Also, the Four Ruinous Powers will absolutely not appear here, because currently, no one can kill them, unless the big golden guy stands up from the Golden Toilet.】

Hmm?

From the system's words, Ye Cang captured a very important clue.

That is, only after dying is it possible to come to the world where he currently resides.

So, what is the principle behind this?

"Elaborate," Ye Cang said.

"This is no small matter; you must explain it to me in detail."

The system did not refuse, but she did not immediately elaborate; instead, she asked Ye Cang a question.

【Do you know how the Universe came into existence!】

【Don't ask which universe; just the normal universe—how did it appear, do you know?】

Although he did not quite understand what this had to do with Malcador's appearance.

Ye Cang still nodded and replied.

"I know."

"The universe itself was a singularity, then a big bang occurred inside the singularity, and thus our universe was born in the big bang."
