Chapter 90 - 90 Peak Meeting, The Lord Is Very Concerned
90 Peak Meeting, The Lord Is Very Concerned
Under the vast starry sky, five stone seats that seemed to have stood there since ancient times appeared from the void and sat under the sea of stars.
“Codename A568. How has everyone’s discussion with your subordinates about him gone recently?”
“Should we kill or nurture him? Can we leave behind our opinions and plans?”
A figure with a blurry face and a black cloak wrapped around his entire body leaving only his face was sitting on a void seat.
As soon as he finished speaking, on the other four seats, figures that only revealed illusory faces with their bodies wrapped in black robes appeared one after another.
“The Principal of the Tai Yi Academy, Zhong Zhiren, spoke of him as a sincere and passionate person. He loves his family and humans. In order to create a world where his family and humans can live, he will become enemies with any faction, even if they are the invincible gods,” a figure said solemnly.
Although they did not reveal any information about their appearance, as their robes fluttered in the wind, it was inevitable that their figures and physiques would be outlined, allowing others to know if they were male or female, tall or short.
Moreover, their voices were not disguised at all, allowing others to sense their wills and attitudes.
“He’s a good saber,” another figure said in an old-fashioned manner.
“He kills and devours psionic energy to grow. With such a terrifying skill, no one is more suitable to be our tool to open up a new future for humans,” said a lady in a lazy voice.
Five people were gathered, with one presiding.
The other three were inclined to nurture and control A568. It seemed that the situation would be settled soon.
However, this meeting, a gathering of the peak of humanity, which decided the direction where humanity would head towards was not about the so-called minority obeying the majority.
The five of them expressed their opinions and sought common ground.
They were all fighting on their own paths for the future of a civilization called humanity.
Seeing that the three members had already made a decision, the host looked at the last seat——
A man who was as thin as a matchstick was silent. His head had been bowed since the start of the meeting and he had never spoken.
Everyone also looked at the man in the last seat.
The man gently exhaled when he heard this. He raised his head and looked at everyone. His tone was a little mocking.
“Regarding the potential of A568, which is also the individual named Lin Sen, I truly acknowledge Zhong Zhiren’s judgment of his personality and belief of putting humans first.
“But…
“Everyone, you’ve been wearing these masks of the hope of mankind, guardian of civilization, and the great bonfire for so long. You’ve deceived countless mortals. Have you also deceived yourselves?”
Everyone’s expressions gradually became strange.
The skinny black-robed man continued, “We were born as a group of vampires leeching on the body of the human civilization and constantly extracting resources and blood. While the future prosperity of humanity will mean the same for us,
I, who stand in the clouds, and all of you, have a natural conflict of interest with the future of humanity in certain dimensions.
“Us and the common people of humanity are two different existences.
“They live and die every day and are not worth mentioning. As for us, we have obtained the permission of the gods. One day, we can reach the immortal realm, ignite the divine fire, step onto the Heavenly Carriage, and become great existences of the gods.
“Therefore…
“Whether the sharp blades that fight for humanity will sooner or later slash at us because of humans, please be prepared for that possibility.
“I don’t want anyone to be absent on the day we step into the divine kingdom.”
Other than the black-robed man who was as thin as a match, and the host in black robes who was the first to speak, the other three participants——the dignified and upright man, the old man, and the laid-back and sensitive lady all sat upright.
They looked at each other and could see deep fear and deep thought in each other’s eyes.
Under the brilliant starry sky, the planet below everyone was black like the depths of the abyss. There was no sunlight.
After a while.
“At this point, everyone knows how to deal with Lin Sen… It’s fine if you wish to keep some pride and don’t want to say it. Let me be the villain.”
The old man said angrily through his illusory face and black robe.
“A568 is a rare monstrous genius. We can’t let him off so easily. Once he’s successfully tamed, our plan will go even smoother. When the cake of human civilization becomes bigger and the results ultimately benefit us, we’ll obtain even greater advantages.
“But if this knife that is Lin Sen is not used properly, it will hurt the owner of the blade.
“Moreover, we can’t absorb him into our organization. After all, it’s difficult to determine if he will join forces with us and betray humanity.
“Tsk…”
As if the old man’s words of “betray humanity” had stabbed the sore spot in his heart, the serious man stood up and condemned.
“I’ll say it again!
“My family and subordinates joined this organization not because we betrayed humanity and our companions for a chance to live, but to preserve the light of humanity!
“We will live on with the elites of humanity and the legacy of civilization. On another planet, we will continue a civilization called humanity. As long as we don’t die, humanity won’t perish!”
“Haha.”
When the female heard this, she sneered.
“You’ve said so much and sound so bright and noble. Didn’t you still use the deaths of countless civilians and Blue Planet to exchange for your beautiful future and casually decide the lives of others? You’re even more shameless and dirty than vampires. Is this the civilization you want to inherit and continue?
“What a joke!”
“B*stard!”
The serious man was clearly incomparably furious. He stood up abruptly and almost lost his mind as he condemned, “Even if I betrayed the entire human race for the sake of my family, what about you?
“What right do you have to stand on moral high ground and criticize me?
“Didn’t you, who is sitting here, also agree with the Descender?”
“Me?”
The lady sneered and did not look straight at the serious man. Instead, she stared at the host called Descender and said,
“I’ve only been on this council for less than half a month.
“Didn’t this person say that only the existences standing at the highest level and at the peak of humanity will join this council and make some decisions related to mankind?
“I expected it to be a solemn and serious occasion. I didn’t think it was just a group of kids and cowards.”
“You—”
The serious man was furious. He turned around and looked at the Descender who was presiding over this meeting.
“There’s no theme for this meeting. Everyone, express your opinions. There’s no need to blur the main purpose of the meeting because of some differences.
“Still.
“Allow me to say something. The Lord is very concerned about the contents of our discussion.”
