"Y-You mean to say …"
"You've killed a lot of people from the red world, Shana."
Looking at the dumbfounded girl in front of him, Fangzheng drank a mouthful of coffee before continuing.
"After those people from the red world died, did they bring their power of existence back to the red world? I don't think so. In fact, no matter how many humans the red world devoured, the power of existence in this world would always remain at the same total amount and wouldn't change at all. It's also impossible for the red world to bring back their power of existence as a souvenir after leaving this world, so where did the consumption come from? According to the rules of this world, this is simply impossible. "
"B-But … In reality, there is indeed a storm in the gap between the two worlds, isn't there?"
Shana couldn't figure it out at all.
"Didn't the devouring of cities cause a lot of damage in the past? Could it be that this has nothing to do with devouring? "
"That's right."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng nodded.
"It has nothing to do with devouring — but it has something to do with change."
"Change?"
"I only realized this after I obtained the memories of the Ritual Snake."
Fangzheng said and gestured.
"The reason why the storm between the two worlds is because the main body of the devoured — humans or objects lose their inherent form and change into an unstable form, just like this …"
As he spoke, Fangzheng picked up a piece of sugar and placed it into the coffee. Soon, the solid sugar cube melted into the coffee. Then, Fangzheng shook the coffee cup, and with his action, the coffee in the cup began to shake and vibrate. Then, it hit the edge of the cup and spilled out.
"It is precisely because of this unstable vibration that storms are formed over the years. On the other hand, as long as the power of existence is restored to matter and phenomenon, the storm will also stop and disasters will naturally not happen. In other words, after the Creator takes away the red world's people, their power of existence won't be taken away and will remain in this world, so it won't cause any disasters. In fact, it will even prevent disasters from happening. "
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Shana was getting more and more confused. According to Fangzheng's words, no matter how she looked at it, this plan was so perfect that she couldn't accept it. The Red World would leave and never come back. They wouldn't take away the power of presence either. Besides, the remaining power of presence could be used to repair this world … What's wrong with that?
Thinking until here, Shana couldn't help but look at Alastor. Facing his contractor's silent questioning, Alastor pondered for a moment before replying.
"However, if the nature of the new world is the same as this world, then even if that world has endless power of existence, it can't guarantee that the Red World Disciples won't eat humans, right?"
"I understand!"
Hearing this, Shana also understood why Alastor felt that this was not a good thing. Just like what Fangzheng said, if the cause of the 'calamity' wasn't because the apostles consumed the power of existence, but rather because the apostles devoured humans and transformed them into unstable forms, then no one could be sure that even in the new world with endless power of existence, the red world apostles would give up on eating humans. To Alastor, this was an option that he had to ensure.
Otherwise, if the "Mirror of Nothingness" that acted as a "barrier" also allowed humans to be eaten by the Red World, then with the accumulation of uncertainty, it would only be a matter of time before storms and catastrophes occurred, and perhaps the scale of the catastrophes would be even greater.
"So, Fangzheng …"
This time, Alastor's tone carried a questioning tone.
"Can you guarantee that the red world apostles in the new world won't eat humans?"
Facing facing Alastor's question, Fangzheng spread his arms apart and gave a decisive answer.
"Of course I can't guarantee."
"… Huh?"
"Say, Alastor, are you getting Alzheimer's because you're too old?"
Fangzheng stared at Alastor with a 'you're kidding me' expression.
"I'm the 'God of Creation'. You're the 'God of Punishment', alright? Can't everyone just do their own jobs and do their own jobs well? Creating the new world is my business, but putting shackles on the new world isn't my business. I came here to reach a consensus with you … Why? Don't tell me that if I nod and say 'Okay, leave it to me', you'll just leave without a word? One playing the good cop and one playing the bad cop. This is the only way to complete the act. Why? You want me to play the good cop and bad cop by myself? You're just watching from the side? So you want to reap the benefits but aren't willing to put in the effort? What kind of 'God of Punishment' are you? "
"Don't … You …"
Hearing this, Alastor also revealed an awkward expression.
"That's not what I meant …"
"All in all, that's all I want to say."
Fangzheng said as he took out a business card and placed it in front of Shana.
"This contains a part of the Epic of Fate that the Sacrificial Serpent wants to create the new world. You can directly inject the rules and principles of 'no eating humans' into it. Then, when I create the new world, you can shoot it in. But I have to say this first. When the time comes, I don't care if those 'Red World's' people stop you. The truth is only within the range of the cannons. If you don't have guns in your hands, then don't blame me for being rude. Also …"
Fangzheng said until here and swept a meaningful glance at Alastor.
"Alastor, you better not think of using 'Shattering Heaven and Earth' to flip the table because you can't beat me. I've already told everyone that this is a grand ceremony of the 'Red World's' people. If you mess it up, I'll let the 'Red World's' people and the Fire Mist Warriors start a world war. If you make me unhappy, I'll make everyone unhappy. So, you better not think of doing things that harm others without benefiting yourself. Learning medicine won't save the people of Earth … "
"Alright then …"
Facing Fangzheng's threat, Alastor was speechless. This young man was meticulous and had almost predicted all of his reactions. And now, apart from following his script, there was almost no other way.
"As for the new world, you don't have to worry about it."
Fangzheng naturally understood the principle of throwing a carrot after giving a stick, which was why after threatening Alastor, he immediately took out little Tang Tang.
"I've decided to build an alliance of humans, Fire Mist Warriors, and Red World's people in the new world to monitor and suppress the Red World's people's actions in the new world and prevent them from acting recklessly. I've talked to Sonia before and a portion of the neutral Red World's people that she represents has agreed to head to the new world and join the alliance to assist us after the Mirror Without Mirrorless is built. "
"Yes, Shattering Heaven and Earth."
At this moment, the 'Heart of Ingenuity' who didn't have a presence finally spoke.
"My compatriots and I think that the Mirror Without Mirrorless is a wonderful idea. We also hope that it can be realized."
"Since that's the case, I have nothing else to say."
This time, Alastor was also speechless. Fangzheng had even plotted against the Red World's people, so how could he say no?
If he messed this up, Alastor was sure that he would be buried under the spittle of his compatriots when he returned to the Red World. What made him sullen was that the Shattering Heaven and Earth was different from the other two Deity Wardens. It didn't have any kin …
In other words, if something were to happen, he wouldn't even be able to find someone to take the bullet for him …
"Alright then, there's one last thing that I need your help with, Shana."
Fangzheng stood up and looked at the young lady before him. Upon sensing Fangzheng's gaze, Shana blushed and stood up hurriedly.
"What is it? Fangzheng? "
"It's simple. You just have to close your eyes."
"Close my eyes?"
Although she didn't know what Fangzheng wanted to do, Shana hesitated for a moment and closed her eyes in the end. Shortly after, she heard a familiar voice by her ear.
"I'm sorry, little princess. I need you to be the sleeping beauty for a while."
"Argh — —!"
Feeling the man's breath in her ear, Shana couldn't help but tremble. Before she could react to Fangzheng's words, in the next moment, her consciousness was completely cut off.
The young lady's petite body disappeared from Fangzheng's embrace in the blink of an eye. Fangzheng raised his hand and looked at the four-sided crystal that was used as a decoration on his mobile phone.
"I didn't expect to use this thing so soon … Sure enough, everything has its uses."
Having said that, Fangzheng sighed. Then, he turned on his mobile phone and dialed a number. Not long after, Beiliopeiolu's voice sounded from the phone.
"Leader, it's me."
"It's done here. Let's begin … According to the original plan, start attacking the Red World and let the Flame Mist Warriors know that … we're back from the masquerade party!"
