Chapter 885: The Ultimate Winner in the Race of Evolution
“That’s right. I don’t deny that I want to devour all of the mother’s fragments and evolve into a stronger, more perfect… ultimate carbon-based life form. Then, I will launch another attack on the Ancients—if they still exist in this universe after billions of years of erosion.”
“Lu Siya” admitted her purpose without any hesitation. Then, she opened her hands to Meng Chao. “But I think that it doesn’t conflict with the purpose of Earth’s transmigrators to survive. Instead, they can support and promote each other.
“Believe me, Meng Chao, even when the Monster War was at its most intense, even when Dragon City’s railway guns blew thousands of monsters into minced meat under the bombardment of thousands of cannons, I have never resented human beings.
“No, not just humans. I never resented any living beings who tried to destroy me or me.
“Natural selection is the natural selection of nature, and the fittest survive. We are all participants in the ‘evolution competition.’ We all follow the same set of rules and try our best to release the most brilliant light of life, trying to become higher, faster, and stronger. That’s all.
“To achieve my goal, I can either sweep away the torrential beast tide and try to swallow dragon city, including its skin and bones, completely.
“Or I can choose to put aside the past and cooperate with Dragon City wholeheartedly and perfectly integrate with human beings.
“I’ve never thought of annihilating such a lovely creature as human beings. Of course, it was not out of kindness, but because of your performance in the Monster War, which won my respect. It also made me realize that your existence, your aggressive, vigorous, changeable, and unpredictable, can effectively make up for my shortcomings in thinking and execution, allowing me to devote more energy and resources to the purest evolution.
“The people of Dragon City and the main brain of the monsters can become a perfect symbiotic civilization, just like the ‘best partners’ like Meng Chao and Lu Siya. In the entire Other World, there is no existence that can stop our progress.
“And I can also guarantee that I will never interfere with the free will of human beings and the direction of Dragon City’s development. After all, you can think of things that I can’t think of, see the future that I can’t see, and do all kinds of amazing things that I can’t believe in. This is your greatest value in the first place. How can I be stupid enough to destroy all of this?
“Don’t hesitate. You have no choice at all!
“Even if I’m really a demon like you said, I’m still the best demon among all the demons.
“Well, I can’t prove that I’m the best demon, but at least you have to admit that I’m the most familiar demon among all the demons in Dragon City, right?
“It’s not a big problem to choose between a familiar demon and a completely unfamiliar demon, right?
“You can reject me and even try to destroy me. Even if you succeed, then what?
“After that, the mist will dissipate. The Dragon City civilization will have to face the countless native civilizations outside Monster Mountain Range who are affected by Mother 2, Mother 3… countless mother fragments.
“Are you sure that without my help, you can really withstand the surging attacks from Mother 2 to Mother 99?
“Don’t think that I’m exaggerating.
“All the mother fragments have an extremely subtle magnetic field sensing between them.
“When a mother fragment awakens from its long slumber, its vitality magnetic field will be continuously released. It’s like the starting gun on the war of raising poison worms or the mother beginning its own upgrade. All the mother fragments will become active.
“Believe it or not, I can sense the extremely hungry and excited life magnetic field of several mother fragments. They have long woken up and are near Monster Mountain Range. They are ready to lock, tear, and devour their own kind at any time, allowing them to take a small step forward on the path of evolution.
“Meng Chao, are you sure that the ordinary citizens who are still celebrating the victory of the Monster War and have completely relaxed, as well as the high-level officials of Dragon City who are fighting for power and benefits, are all ready to face the natives from the Other World who are more barbaric, cruel, and evil than the monster civilization? Haha, hahahaha!”
“Lu Siya” burst into unbridled laughter.
Her long green hair danced crazily like a messy bamboo leaf.
Behind her, the Green Tide, Blood Flowers, and the bushes covered with poisonous thorns were all rustling and dancing.
Meng Chao gritted his teeth so hard that they were almost bleeding.
If only he had never experienced the real apocalypse.
He could have been like all the hot-blooded but ignorant young men, shouting textbook-like heroic words at “Lu Siya” and saying silly and cute things like “mankind is destined to open its own path.”
However, he had seen the apocalypse before.
He knew that “Lu Siya” was not lying.
Whether she was a monster or a demon, whether she had wiped out all of humanity, no matter what heinous actions she would take, at least, she did not lie at all about this matter.
“The mother self-upgraded”—this was the truth of the war that swept through the entire Other World in her previous life!
It was easy to reject “Lu Siya.”
It was not impossible for her to not be able to harm Dragon City in a short period of time, even if she had to pay a heavy price in order to destroy both jade and stone.
But what about the war in the Other World?
What about Mother 2 to Mother 99 hidden behind the armies of orcs, dwarves, elves, vampires, dragons, trolls, lizards, toads, gargoyles, undead knights, and skeletons?
At this moment, no one in Dragon City knew better than Meng Chao how terrifying the “Natives”who seemed to still be living in the Middle Ages were.
“Meng Chao!” Lu Siya caught Meng Chao’s hesitation.
Her eyes lit up. She was both surprised and happy.
“Meng Chao, I knew you would believe and understand me!” Lu Siya said with a smile
“I’ve said the same thing to Jin Qianxi before, but she’s really a stubborn and stupid woman who insists on clinging to the outdated morals of the Earth era and the so-called ‘humanity’.
“She would rather die with this poor ‘human nature’than make a small change and find a way to survive for her compatriots.
“But I believe that you won’t be as stupid as Jin Qianxi.
“Although you love Dragon City and are willing to contribute everything to Dragon City, compared to that silly girl, you are a bit more ruthless and unscrupulous, and you will do anything to achieve your goals, not to mention the decisiveness of the gossips.
“This makes me believe that as long as you can save Dragon City, you won’t care about making a deal with the Devil!”
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.
He felt ashamed and indignant that someone had seen through him with one glance.
While he was hesitating, the golden light above his vision suddenly flickered in a high frequency.
The reward for the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities mission was about to be settled.
In just a few seconds, his trump card would be formed!
Meng Chao was refreshed. He pretended to be tempted and hesitant. “Even if Dragon City really needs Mother 1 to deal with the more magnificent and brutal war, it doesn’t mean that we need to cooperate with you or accept your control,” he said with a cold snort.
“Right now, the victory and the initiative are clearly in the hands of the human beings. We have occupied the entire Hidden Mist Domain, the sinkhole, and the monsters’ lair. We have grasped 99% of Mother 1’s active organization. We can completely develop two ruins on our own and extract the technology, information, and power from them continuously.
“Even if there is a lot of critical information that must be opened and analyzed by you, I don’t think that you, who just stole Sister Ya’s body, are so powerful that even three to five godly state experts working together can’t suppress you, right?
“If you were really more powerful than a godly state expert, you would have made a move long ago and pressed me under your body to do whatever you want. How could you be patient enough to explain so much?
“Although many of the older godly state experts, including Lu Zhongqi, were seriously injured or even killed, three to five fully loaded godly state experts could still be found in the entire dragon city at any time.
“Tell me, why can’t I run away and ask them for help? Why don’t I ask them to take action? Why Don’t I tie you up, torture you, and even slice you up for research? Why do I have to cooperate with you and help you stir up trouble in Dragon City
“The reason is very simple, because you are too slow.”
“Lu Siya” calmly said, “Based on the current organizational structure and development model of Dragon City, even the most ruthless one among the nine super enterprises still has to consider the feelings and interests of most ordinary citizens when formulating and implementing strategies.
“And these ordinary citizens still cling to the outdated morals and so-called ‘humanity’ of the Earth era, just like that stupid woman, Jin Qianxi.
“Although you have experienced more than half a century of chaos, bloody battles, and reconstruction, you still don’t seem to realize that the earth no longer exists. The Earth’s civilization has also collapsed and vanished. All the people on Earth have gone to hell!
“Right now, you are a group of brand-new humans with a brand-new civilization. Of course, you should establish brand-new moral concepts and social forms so that you have a chance to survive on the cruel battlefield of the Other World and become the ultimate winner of evolution.
“If you don’t fully realize and carry out this point, as you are now, you will cling to the so-called ‘humanity’ and take care of the feelings and interests of the weak who are destined to be eliminated early in the ‘evolution competition,’ the ignorant, weak, and blind ordinary citizens. Then, the Dragon City civilization will be doomed to be like a giant trapped in the mire, unable to do anything but wait for death.
“Meng Chao, what if I told you that the depths of Ruins No. 2 still contained an incomparably powerful ancient energy? I know the method to excavate and utilize it, but if you want to quickly develop it in a few short years, you need to sacrifice at least a million lively human lives. Otherwise, you can only use thirty to fifty years, or even one to two hundred years. Take it slowly. What would you choose?”
“What?”
Meng Chao said subconsciously, “You’re lying. How is that possible?”
“Look, you don’t dare to answer my question directly.”
“Lu Siya” smiled slightly. “Don’t be ashamed. Not only can you not answer this question, but the leaders of the nine mega corporations, as well as the commander of the Red Dragon Army, no one can answer this question directly. Even if in their hearts, they really want to exchange millions of lives for the powerful power of the ancient era, they don’t dare to say it out loud. Whoever dares to say it is a crazy monster, an inhumane demon, and will be pointed at by thousands of people and die without a cause.
“This is what I said. With the current model of Dragon City civilization, there is no way to win the ‘war of raising poisonous worms’ and become the ultimate winner of the ‘evolution competition.’ In the near future, I will die, you will die, and every person in Dragon City will die. All of this is destined.
“If you want to prevent the future destruction, perhaps you must change the model of Dragon City to… for example, the model of the Blood Alliance?”
