Meng Chao was dumbstruck when he heard this. He could not help but ask, “So you’re saying that you a.s.sa.s.sinated the Ancient Dream Saintess for her own good?”

“Yes.”

The Wolf King calmly said, “I believe that you’ve also noticed that the long-term and overuse of her ability has caused serious damage to her brain. She’s constantly in a state of severe brain edema. In addition to her congenital deformity, she won’t be able to live for long.

“Even if I do nothing and the wolves, tigers, and leopards don’t harm her, she will still die in extreme pain a few years later. Before she dies, her true form will be revealed, and her ugly nature will be exposed.

“Compared with that conclusion , I believe that ending her at the most exciting moment would be like a brilliant fireworks display. Her best image will always live in the hearts of all the rat people. That’s the best fate.

“It seems that—”

Meng Chao said, “You enjoy choosing the fate of others?”

“Not ‘choosing,’ but ‘changing.'”

The Wolf King said, “Can you watch a person or even a group of people embark on the road of destruction and gradually walk into the depths of the apocalyptic swamp? Can you remain unmoved and not go forward to persuade and stop them?

“Can you watch a person standing on the edge of a cliff, about to jump down, when only a white lie can make him change his mind? You wouldn’t tell such a small, white lie just because of some moral high ground?

“Don’t tell me that when you are faced with a dilemma where only one needs to be sacrificed to save thousands of people, and only ten thousand people need to be sacrificed to save thousands more people, you will allow those thousands of people to die because you don’t want to dirty your hands with blood?

“Believe me, no matter what terrible things you think I’ve done to the Ancient Dream Saintess and the rat warriors, if I hadn’t taken action, their fates would be a hundred times worse!”

“Since you’re so certain, why don’t you tell Saintess Ancient Dream the truth?”

Meng Chao said, “I believe that for the rat nation’s cause, for the Great Horn Army’s rise, and for your so-called future, she would be willing to sacrifice everything, including herself.”

“There’s no need for that.”

The Wolf King said, “If you tell the Ancient Dream Saintess the truth, firstly, it’ll increase the risk.

“In the eyes of the priests who are proficient in witchcraft and secret arts, there are no secrets in the rat people’s brains. If they capture the Ancient Dream Saintess and dig the truth from her brain and lock onto me, my life will be insignificant. However, the rat people’s career and Picturesque Orchid Lake’s future will be completely ruined.

“Secondly, it will increase uncertainty.

“You must know that not everyone is like me. I have an extremely deep understanding of the ancestral spirits’ nature, and I’m able to create a non-existent ancestral spirit with a clear conscience.

“For the vast majority of the rat population, this ancestral spirit is the supreme G.o.d. ‘Creating and worshipping a non-existent Rat G.o.d’ is an unpardonable blasphemy just thinking about it.

“I’m not sure if the Ancient Dream Saintess will still be willing to cooperate with me once she knows the truth. She would have to spread the faith of the Rat G.o.d, recruit a large number of rat warriors, and become enemies with the five major clans.

“Even if she is willing to cooperate with me, such cooperation, which is full of worries and unwillingness, will certainly not be as effective as believing in the Rat G.o.d’s existence from the bottom of her heart and believing that she is the savior, as well as spokesperson, chosen by the Rat G.o.d.

“The Ancient Dream Saintess’ ability to spread information through dreams is closely related to the strength of her beliefs. If even she doesn’t believe that the Rat G.o.d is real, how can the image of the Rat G.o.d in her dreams be so awe-inspiring and lifelike that everyone believes and worships him?

“Thirdly, even if the Ancient Dream Saintess is willing to cooperate with me after she knows the truth and does it as well as she is doing now, I don’t want her to be involved in this dirty swirl.

“Once she discovers the truth and cooperates with me, she would be deliberately deceiving millions of rats and inciting them to sacrifice themselves for a G.o.d that doesn’t exist.

“In that case, she would never be an innocent, kind, and pure Saintess.

“Instead, she would be a shameless schemer, a ruthless executioner, an ambitious conspirator who climbs upon the corpses of millions of innocent people. She would be a deranged and inhumane demon.

“Just like… me.

“For the rat people’s rise and Picturesque Orchid Lake’s future, there must be an ambitious schemer, a ruthless executioner, and a devil who is enemies with the whole world. I am enough to fulfil that role.

“The Ancient Dream Saintess shouldn’t become a devil like me.

“She should always be like the first time I met her. Although she doesn’t look good, she is kind-hearted by nature. She’s willing to endure the pain of her brain exploding and share her beautiful dreams with all the people who are suffering, covered in wounds, in despair, and numb.

“She should be a bunch of flowers that are always white and flawless. She shouldn’t be tainted by any stains, or be immersed in real pain for a long time.

“That was originally the best arrangement that I, a sincere friend, made for her.

“In the end, you completely messed it up.

“Now, the Ancient Dream Saintess is still alive and knows the truth. She is deep in the disillusionment of her collapsed belief. She has no choice but to face the real world and real pain, as well as the double torture of her body and soul.

“But with her ability, she can’t change anything except making herself feel extremely guilty and miserable.

“Reaper, after learning that the gigantic evil energy puppet on Scarlet Peak self-detonated, why would I risk being discovered by the Lion King and Tiger King just to kill you?

“No. Sabotaging my plan and destroying the wolf a.s.sa.s.sin that I carefully put in place after years of planning was only the secondary reason.

“The real reason was that you thought you were the one who saved the Ancient Dream Saintess. Instead, you put her in agony that was worse than death!

“If I hadn’t repeatedly told myself that you knew nothing about the truth, that it was out of kindness, and that you might join hands with me to clean up the mess and change the future, you would have been dead long ago!”

By the time he uttered the last sentence, the Wolf King was already yelling while explaining.

Meng Chao stared at the Wolf King’s face and realized that this fellow was either the greatest liar in the world, or he had even deceived and hypnotized himself. He actually believed those words. He believed that he could see and alter the future, fate, and tomorrow.

‘That’s impossible.’

Meng Chao scoffed in his heart. ‘No one understands the future, fate, and tomorrow better than I do!’

He was faced with “Jackal” Ka.n.u.s, who was obviously stuck in a logical loop of self-discovery and had a twisted but firm outlook on life, the world, and morality. Ka.n.u.s was a big boss who could justify himself no matter what insane things he did, so Meng Chao naturally did not expect to convince the other party to accept the Earth civilization’s philosophy, morality, and laws with just a few words.

He only wanted to know something. “Alright, even if I stand on your side and everything you’ve done has its reasons and difficulties, how can I believe that you won’t help me ‘change my fate’ at a critical moment, then claim it’s for my own good?

“Let me make it clear in advance that I don’t have a habit of letting anyone help me change my fate. Regardless of whether it leads to a bottomless abyss, a poisonous pool, or flames of destruction that burns the entire world, I hope that my fate will be firmly in my hands!”

“Of course. You might not believe me if I tell you this, but even though it’s our first time meeting today, I have a very strange feeling. It’s as if we’ve known each other for a long time. We’re friends who share the same ideals. We’re the same type of people—people who like to firmly grasp their fate in their own hands. I admire your ability and respect your decision.”

The Wolf King smiled and said, “Let’s make things clearer. I think the thing you’re most worried about is working with me to excavate the Holy Mountain’s inheritance. After that, I might burn the bridge after crossing the river and kill you in order to monopolize the ancestral spirits’ inheritance, right?”

“Shouldn’t I be worried?”

Meng Chao said, “If the Holy Mountain’s inheritance can make an unknown person become the overlord of Picturesque Orchid Lake, I think anyone would be tempted. No one would be willing to share this inheritance with others, right?”

The Wolf King laughed.

He shook his head as he laughed.

There was a hint of mockery and sadness in his laughter.

“As expected, even you think that the enormous inheritance left behind by the oldest ancestor spirit can only help people become the overlord of Picturesque Orchid Lake.”

The Wolf King sighed. “And I took great pains to sacrifice millions of my fellow rats, betray the Lion King, as well as Tiger King, and become enemies with the five great clans just to become Picturesque Orchid Lake’s overlord?”

Meng Chao said, “Isn’t that so?”

“Of course not. What’s the use of just becoming Picturesque Orchid Lake’s overlord? In the past ten thousand years, countless overlords have emerged in Picturesque Orchid Lake. They either possessed the power to destroy the world, or they could command millions of troops the same way they commanded their own fingers. If not they were either proficient in hundreds of battle techniques from hidden totems and could concoct countless secret medicines. These names have left behind glorious battle records and immortal legends in the war epics, and they’re even more brilliant than the stars. However, has any one of them allowed the Turan people to truly gain a foothold in the Land of Holy Light, which is rich in resources, and completely defeat our enemies and shatter the sword of destruction hanging high above our heads? No, no, not a single one!”

Every blood vessel and nerve on the Wolf King’s face bulged out, twitching violently like an electrified earthworm.

His eyes were filled with flames as if he had seen a horrifying scene that he could not bear to look back on.

The indescribable terror did not scare him but strengthened his conviction and stimulated the infinite power hidden in his cells instead.

“Jackal” Ka.n.u.s resolutely uttered one word after another. “Ten thousand years have pa.s.sed.. What Picturesque Orchid Lake needs now is no longer an overlord who has failed countless times and follows the old ways. They need a revolutionary, a revolutionary who can turn Picturesque Orchid Lake upside down, destroy everything, and be reborn from the ashes!”
