Ding Ling Dong stopped Guo Chunfeng and stared at Lu Zui. Against the sharpness in the eyes of the high-level Yuanying, she straightened her back inch by inch and gnashed her teeth. "What are you trying to say exactly?"
Lu Zui concealed his aura and turned into the dying old man again, as if the thunderous fury a moment ago was just an illusion. He breathed softly and said, "I only want to say that the Patriots Partnership that I established can be completely destroyed, but the soil that nourishes it cannot be emptied in only decades. The soil is the hatred that has been accumulated in the hearts of countless people of the Heaven's Origin Sector.
"The hatred has been soaked in blood for hundreds of years before it was condensed. You want to make such a deep-seated hatred disappear with a few words of 'love and forgiveness'? How is it possible?
"As long as the soil of hatred is still there, even if the Patriots Partnership that I created collapses into smithereens today, a new Patriots Partnership will rise again when the right time comes.
"Maybe it will have a new name, a new appearance, and a new way, but the roots that have been deeply rooted in the soil of hatred will never change!
"Trust me. During the hundred years when human beings and demons are integrated, all kinds of conflicts will certainly happen. For the next ambitious schemer, the 'right time' will always appear. Even if it doesn't, he will create an 'opportunity' on his own, just like what I did yesterday."
Ding Ling Dong's voice grew colder and colder. "That explains a lot. You want me to be the leader of the next Patriots Partnership when it appears?"
"No."
Lu Zui's eyes, however, grew gentler and gentler. He smiled. "I want you to try your best to prevent the next Patriots Partnership from showing up."
Ding Ling Dong was dazed.
Guo Chunfeng and the rest of them next door were dazed, too.
"The blood feud of millions of people of the federation is gathered into an unstoppable, indestructible double-edged sword. When the sword falls into the hands of some ambitious schemers, such as myself yesterday, millions of people will be killed and serious damage will be caused. The entire country might even be dragged into the abyss of eternal damnation."
Lu Zui's eyes were extremely clear. Tiny streams were flowing slowly deep inside his eyes, emitting silver brilliance. "However, the sword itself is neither right nor wrong, and it will not kill people. It is human beings who can tell right from wrong, and it is also human beings who kill and save people.
"Just as you said, Fellow Daoist Ding, your parents were killed by the Demon Clan right in front of you. Isn't your hatred for the Demon Clan justified? Who has the right to ask you to erase such hatred? Can such hatred be erased? What's wrong with such hatred? "
"Therefore, since the 'sword of hatred' boasts astonishing damage and cannot be destroyed, for the sake of the future of the Federation, the most critical question is … whose hands are they in now?
"Is it in the hands of the next ambitious schemer, who is like me yesterday, or is it in the hands of someone who is more straightforward, straightforward, and does not even bother to consider any schemes?"
Ding Ling Dong sat cross-legged, deep in thought.
This time, when Lu Zui addressed her as' Fellow Cultivator Ding ', she did not argue.
"On the other hand, cough, cough. Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
Lu Zui coughed hard and coughed out a pool of thick, black blood. After calming himself down for a while, he said, "You and I both agree that the integration of human beings and demons may not be so smooth. There are ambitious schemers in human beings, but are there no demons with ill intentions? Are there no unwavering demon supremacists? Is there no demon version of the Patriots Partnership?
"Right now, because of Zhou Hengdao's and my mistake, the entire Federation has been swept by the trend of 'reconciliation between human beings and demons'. Many people have been so overwhelmed by the peace before them that they have neglected the dreadfulness of the demon race. Some of them have even begun to preach the difficulties and stance of the demon race before the peace agreement is signed. They are preaching 'forgiveness', 'understanding', and 'harmony'!
"This is dangerous, Fellow Cultivator Ding. Such an over-correcting attitude is indeed extremely dangerous!
"Even if human beings and demons are truly going to reconcile, we should not completely relax our vigilance! Holding flowers in one hand and holding a dagger in the other is the most correct attitude!
"Otherwise, what if the 'conciliators' represented by Li Yao are wrong?
"Furthermore, even if Li Yao is not wrong, and Jin Tuyi and the other demons of the previous generation are sincere in reconciliation with us, what if there are ambitious schemers in the new generation of demons?
"The integration of the two races is not going to happen overnight. It will take decades if not centuries. The conflicts, conflicts, and compromises of interests, beliefs, and history will be involved. There are too many variables! If we drop the weapons in our hands and in our hearts so early, who will stop the schemers of the demon race if anything goes wrong during the process?
"There must be a force in the Federation to keep the demon race in check and serve as the last defense line when everybody is relaxing their vigilance and enjoying peace! I've thought about it for a long time. This is perhaps the value and the mission of the Patriots Partnership in the next hundred years! "
Ding Ling Dong was greatly moved. Her big eyes blinked nonstop, reflecting the tides of thoughts inside her head.
"Right now, you have two choices."
Lu Zui looked at her peacefully. "Firstly, you can consider what I just said as nonsense, blow up my head, and walk out of the prison cell. You can go back to being the 'Crimson Queen', receive the adoration and cheers of countless young people, and enjoy the peaceful life between you and Li Yao.
"Then, as promised, I will confess the last forces of the Patriots Partnership and try my best to ask all the 'patriots' to turn themselves in so that I can completely destroy the organization that I established on my own!
"But it will be useless.
"We can destroy the Patriots Partnership, but we can't eliminate hatred. As long as hatred is not completely eliminated, a new Patriots Partnership will come back at any moment! A guy who is even more dangerous, insane, and cunning than I was yesterday may appear at any moment and steal the unstoppable 'sword of hatred'. He will create more hatred with it and expand it until it swallows everything!
"Or maybe, we are lucky enough not to run into such an ambitious schemer. As time goes by, the older generation will gradually wither away. All the hatred will truly be gone. All human beings will completely forget the threat of the demon race and accept them sincerely, allowing the tentacles of the demon race to extend into every capillary of the Federation.
"At that moment, a schemer will jump out of the demon race. A mirror version of the Patriots Partnership will appear, and the Federation will be turned upside down, too!
"This is what is likely to happen after you walk out of the prison cell.
"Of course, I'm not saying that it will definitely happen, but who can say for sure what the odds are? 10%？ 20%？ Or even higher?
"You can take a gamble. Or rather, you can just say that it's none of your business!"
"Indeed, it's none of your business. After you walk out of here, nobody will know what we are talking about. Even if a disaster does happen one day in the future, resulting in the death of billions of people, nobody will blame you."
Ding Ling Dong narrowed her eyes into two sabers. She gnashed her teeth. "Cut the crap. What's the second option?"
Lu Zui smiled. "The second option is that you become the new leader of the Patriots Partnership. Of course, the name is already stinky in the Federation. You can change to a new name, but the core will be the same.
"Right now, the prisoners of the Patriots Partnership who are going to serve their sentences will be your first batch of solid supporters. Their family and friends outside will be your second batch of solid supporters. With your powerful charisma and inspiring abilities, the thousands of people who have bloody grudges against the demon race will be your third batch of solid supporters!
"The combination of the three forces will be enough to compete with the demon race in an open and legal way, just like you said!
"In short, the hatred of millions of citizens of the Federation will be condensed into the sharpest longsword, and you will be the 'Sword Holder' of the Federation!
"Your destiny is to take good care of the 'Sword of Hatred'. You cannot allow it to fly out and hurt anyone easily, nor can you allow it to fall into the hands of the schemers or the schemers. You cannot allow it to gradually rust in the sheath! You need to polish it carefully and wave it all the time to make sure that it is as bright as before!
"If the schemers of the demon race jump out one day and jeopardize the interests of the Federation and the civilization of mankind, it will be the time for you to draw your longsword and slay the devils!
"Being a sword bearer is not an easy job. In fact, it's a tiring, dirty, and thankless job! Once you choose to be the new leader of the Patriots Partnership, you will be shouldering the sins of me, Zhou Hengdao, and the rest of us! At first, you are destined to be misunderstood by thousands of people. You will be cursed by the families of the victims in the square of the Federation. Many people will think that you have betrayed Li Yao. Even Li Yao will not understand you … "
"Wait!"
Ding Ling Dong interrupted him without any hesitation. Baring her white teeth, she sneered, "Old man, it has occurred to me that you have been instigating the relationship between Li Yao and me since the very beginning. Why? You are very upset that you were killed by him, so you intentionally created conflicts between our families to vent your anger, aren't you? I f * cking despise you! "
"Let me tell you. Even if I do take over the 'sword of hatred' as you said, it doesn't matter what other people think of me, but Li Yao will certainly understand me!
"Perhaps Li Yao and I have a minor disagreement in our belief. Perhaps our ideologies are not entirely on the same channel. But as long as it is my decision, even if he does not agree with it, he will certainly understand and support me!
"Just like a month ago, when I did not completely agree with his ideologies, I still understood him, trusted him, and supported him without any reservation!"
Lu Zui was dazed for a moment. There was confusion on his face.
"Therefore …"
Ding Ling Dong sniffed. "Even though you have lived almost two hundred years longer than me and advanced into the high level of the Yuanying Stage, there are certain things that a guy like you will never understand."
Lu Zui accepted it all and smiled. "It seems that I've misjudged you and Li Yao. So to speak, do you accept my offer?" "Yes, Mr. Li.
"Says who?"
Ding Ling Dong frowned. "After all the talk, I still don't understand why you chose me. I know myself very well. However awesome I am, I am only in the Core Formation Stage. In terms of appeal and encouragement, there must be a lot of Yuanying in the Federation who are better than me, right? "
"Yes. There are indeed a lot of Yuanying in the Federation who are more suitable than you."
Lu Zui said calmly. "In fact, after thinking for only five seconds, I have listed seven Yuanying candidates who are more suitable to be the new leader of the Patriots Partnership than you are."
Ding Ling Dong: "…"
Lu Zui smiled bitterly. "The problem is that those Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators are all powerful, experienced, and proud. How can they possibly hang around with the stinky Patriots Partnership and work as the unrewarding 'sword bearers'? Wouldn't they be disgracing their glorious image? "
