Chapter 1564: Original Intent

"Right, after coming out, what is your feeling? Do you still want to raise an Undead Legion and overthrow this world?" Chen Yu asked.

"It seems the feeling is not as intense anymore." Honghou's face revealed a trace of a complex expression: "Back then, my sisters and brothers died from war, plague, and famine. I made a contract with a Demon, which was actually just to change the status quo at that time."

"I wanted to build a kingdom of super-civilization," Honghou said softly. "I wished that in this world there would be no more disease, no more pain, that everyone could live and work in peace, and would no longer be threatened by hunger."

"Was that your idea at the time?" Chen Yu looked at Honghou with some surprise, saying truthfully that this was something Chen Yu had not expected.

Anyone like Honghou, an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, usually thinks only of supreme power, but Chen Yu did not expect that the Honghou before him would actually have such ideals and aspirations.

"Yes, I once proposed some of my suggestions to the Pharaoh to allow the people to survive, but in that era where Theocracy ran rampant, everyone was a slave," Honghou said. "My suggestions were not taken seriously by anyone at all."

"On the contrary, my actions attracted some attention from the Theocracy. They felt I was a heretic and my ideas were blasphemy against the gods, so in the end, I had to take a risk and try to use my own power to change this world, but unfortunately, I failed." Honghou sighed slightly.

"And after you failed, you were locked alive in a coffin and sealed with mercury, and the common people you wanted to save did not know the truth; they thought you were evil, so they spurned you," Chen Yu said. "Do you regret it?"

"No regrets. Since people live in this world, they should always have their own decisions," Hong Hou smiled slightly. "Since those things were decided by me, then no matter what the future is like, no matter how hard this path is to walk, I must persist in walking it."

"You cannot succeed," Chen Yu said. "History is a Reincarnation. The things that happen in each time period are fixed. Your thoughts are too advanced, so you are destined to be out of place with that era. And as time develops, some things will evolve into the way you want to see them even if you don't do them."

"Perhaps, but seeing that this world has become like this now, I feel quite good," Honghou said happily. "It is even better than the world I imagined."

"Then let go of your obsession," Chen Yu said. "This world has people guarding it. If your ideas are too dangerous and extreme, then you are destined to be targeted."

"Hmm, I will try to let go of my obsession," Hong Hou nodded.

"Mr. Chen, I have already said to cancel the activities in the Tianping Yu, but some passengers who do not know the truth are unhappy. I have already refunded their tickets and provided some compensation," Zhou Ran walked over.

"There is no need to explain to them. Tell them, if they want to die, then go and try," Chen Yu's eyebrows twitched; he had no obligation to explain to these people.

"I know, thank you for the reminder," Zhou Ran smiled, then turned and left.

"Why didn't you tell her the truth?" After Zhou Ran left, Honghou could not help but glance at Chen Yu.

"The truth?" Chen Yu smiled: "Sometimes, hiding the truth from them is also a form of protection."

"I know that sea area, the Tianping Yu, and it does indeed exist, but it is an evil place. The indigenous people on the island are actually cannibals, and that sea area only appears at night. It is a stroke of luck that they have gone so many times without being wiped out by the cannibals," Honghou said.

"It is not their luck, but that their conditions do not meet the progress requirements of the indigenous people," Chen Yu said. "If the passengers on the ship once meet the requirements, then these cannibals will not hesitate to hunt and kill them."

"Cannibals have requirements for food?" Honghou was puzzled.

"Yes, in their eyes, it is just like the chickens and ducks we raise. They haven't reached the month for consumption, but if these chickens and ducks are disobedient, they will be hunted and killed soon," Chen Yu said. "The indigenous people on that island need people with a certain blood type for sacrifice. Fortunately, there has never been such a blood type on their ship before."

"But if the people on the ship notice, they will bare their fangs and hunt and kill everyone without hesitation..." Chen Yu said.

"Quite interesting," Honghou smiled slightly.

"Mr. Chen..." Just at this moment, Qishu hurried over with a map.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yu looked at his flustered appearance and frowned.

"I see this sea area is not right," Qishu held the Compass: "The surrounding magnetic field is very unstable. This... this means something is about to happen."

"Then what do you think will be here?" Chen Yu smiled slightly. Qishu still had real talent and learning; they were still some distance from the Tianping Yu, but he immediately felt that something was wrong.

"Based on my experience, there must be hidden Secret Realm-type things nearby. These places are usually invisible and only appear at specific times and locations," Qishu said with excitement.

"There is indeed one, but it is not a Secret Realm, nor is it some great tomb, so don't get excited. We will bypass that place today," Chen Yu said.

"Bypass it?" Qishu was slightly stunned, and only then did he calm down. If Chen Yu said to bypass a place, then it must not be visited.

"Right, bypass it," Chen Yu nodded slightly.

"What a pity. With such a strong magnetic field, it must be a good place, and there must be good things inside," Qishu shook his head with some regret.

"Aren't you about to retire?" Chen Yu laughed: "Why are you still so excited when you see these things?"

"This... occupational disease," Qishu said with some embarrassment: "When I see a good place, I can't help but want to explore it."

"Believe me, the place this time is not that easy to explore," Chen Yu said with a chuckle: "It is not a good place."

"Since Mr. Chen has said so, then this place must not be a good place. I will listen to Mr. Chen," Qishu smiled and stepped back.

After another day and night, the ship finally arrived at the designated port. Chen Yu had come to Fusang for the first time and was not familiar with the place, so he followed Qishu to Chinatown.

There are three Chinatowns in Fusang, and this one, the China Street, has a history of over a hundred years.

The entire street is several hundred meters long, and there are hundreds of Chinese restaurants and many merchants here.

The dishes in this place are mainly Cantonese-style. In addition to many Huaxia delicacies, there are also many grocery stores, pharmacies, clothing stores, and many traditional crafts.
