Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

1915 Two Swords Combined

Meng Chao noticed that time seemed to be frozen in the mysterious space.

He had already discovered two futures in this virtual world.

Even if they were not real, decades of memory information still surged through his brain.

His brain was slightly swollen, and the occasional memory loss, as well as misplacement, made it impossible to tell which memory was real and which memory was just a prediction and had not happened yet. That aside, he did not experience any serious symptoms such as splitting headaches and spirit energy exhaustion.

He did not feel tired or hungry either.

“So, the Ancients who left this palace behind hoped that I would stay in this space and keep predicting the future until I found the ‘right answer,’ right?

“Since I’m here, I should take it easy.”

Finding a way to save the Dragon City civilization had always been Meng Chao’s goal.

He collected his thoughts and seriously reflected on the lessons he had learned from the two “bad futures.”

“First of all, I can conclude that eliminating the nine great families is not the key to saving the country.

“In other words, if I want to protect the Dragon City civilization, I have to pick the correct answer among the hundred choices of life and death.

“Eradicating the nine great families is only one of the choices.

“It’s more likely that it doesn’t matter whether or not the nine great families are eliminated. What’s important is the next step after I eliminate or win them over.

“As the saying goes, ‘governing a country is like cooking a dish.’ What matters is the degree of control. The me in the last two futures was too immature. In one, I made the mistake of being too eager for quick success and instant benefits. I became simple, as well as barbaric, and I killed too much. In the other, I compromised and conceded without any bottom line or principles.

“Also, I was all alone in those two futures. I seemed to be missing an important person by my side… My comrade?”

Meng Chao’s eyes sparkled.

Lu Siya’s figure appeared in his mind.

That’s right, he never got together with Lu Siya in those futures. He even deliberately kept a distance from her.

This was because Meng Chao still had reservations about Lu Siya.

Firstly, it was Lu Siya’s ambition and methods.

Meng Chao knew that he was not a natural leader or commander.

He also had no interest in dominating the world, treating the world as his chess piece, and sacrificing others to build his reputation.

As a matter of fact, compared to being a supreme and brilliant leader, deep down, he wanted to be a well-equipped soldier who went behind enemy lines. He wanted to represent Dragon City and go where no one else had gone. He wanted to see wonderful things that he could never have seen in his hometown on Earth.

However, to prevent the apocalypse and save Dragon City, he had been forced by the situation to advance toward the supreme throne.

Lu Siya was different.

She was a born careerist.

She had been taught how to “govern” people since she was little.

She had exquisite acting skills and a cold, heartless heart.

Lu Siya had expressed that she would achieve her goals ” by hook or by crook.”

To decide Dragon City’s fate, or at least become one of its rulers, Lu Siya was willing to lower herself and wear rubber shoes as well as work clothes. She talked and laughed with the ordinary citizens and volunteered to work in the smelly sewers.

She could also dig deadly traps for her competitors without batting an eyelid.

To a large extent, she was more suited to be Dragon City’s leader than Meng Chao.

Even though their collaboration was a win-win situation, Meng Chao was still afraid about it. If they had negative contact with each other and became partners to pass down their genes, he could be swallowed up by Lu Siya’s ambition without realizing.

Secondly, Lu Siya had been born into the nine great families.

In the two futures, Meng Chao did not get along well with the nine great families.

He did not want to complicate the situation by mixing it with personal emotions.

Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, the power from the monster mastermind had not been completely removed from Lu Siya’s body.

To be more precise, it would never be removed.

In a future that Su Mulian had described, Meng Chao married Lu Siya and turned Dragon City into a city of monsters.

Even so, he still failed to escape the Holy Light Temple’s space-based orbital attack.

As such, Meng Chao instinctively wanted to avoid such a tragedy from happening again during the previous two futures. In the end, he subconsciously kept his distance from Lu Siya.

“Alright, it looks like I was wrong. I can’t save the Dragon City civilization by myself.

“Even if Lu Siya’s a vicious monster, I need to subdue her for my homeland, my compatriots, and my civilization!

“I wonder, among all these futures, is there a future where I accept Lu Siya’s proposal and become her legal partner to pass down our genes?”

Just as Meng Chao thought about this, a new jellyfish appeared before him like a crystal flower bud that was slowly blooming.

In the depths of the crystal jellyfish, vivid pictures glittered in countless small windows and combined to form a simple but grand wedding.

“This is…”

At this moment, Meng Chao extended his finger.

Countless “stamens” or “tentacles” slowly stretched out from the new future and wrapped around Meng Chao’s fingertips lightly.

In an instant, Meng Chao’s entire body seemed to assimilate into a brand new future, and he became crystal clear.

It was obvious that Meng Chao’s brain was shining within his translucent head. It was like a crystal engine that was operating at an extremely high speed and constantly on the verge of overloading.

A moment later, there was a very subtle “click,” and the “stamen” or “tentacles” that were wrapped around his fingertips snapped.

Meng Chao slowly woke up. His gaze was lost and deep as if he had just broken free from a long dream that had lasted decades.

As he brain slowly cooled down, decades of experience and lessons were added to its core again.

“Alright, I knew it. Lu Siya is a ferocious existence. If we work together, I’ll be sucked dry if I’m not careful.”

Meng Chao tapped the area between his eyebrows that was twitching nonstop while he recalled the third future he had just experienced.

He had to admit that once he let go of the reservation in his heart and joined forces with Lu Siya, initial progress was much smoother than it was in the previous two futures.

Lu Siya made it possible for him to network with the nine great families, and this gave him more leeway to deal with them.

He was also an outstanding government official and an expert in business operations.
