What the old man really cared about wasn't Yinggou's life or death, but the role that the name 'Yinggou' would play in the future.
He had already figured out Liu Xiaojiang's purpose in doing these things. He believed that even if it was an idea based on his own selfish desires, it would not be too bad because of the 'benevolence' in it.
Yinggou didn't use his power to run amok. He didn't mean to kill the innocent. Instead, he had no choice but to take this path for his own survival …
Even if the old man didn't know why Liu Xiaojiang was so strong, he finally confirmed it because of his various actions.
Perhaps Yinggou didn't want to save the world. Perhaps he just wanted to transform a secular world that could accept an alien like himself …
But it was precisely because of this that …
This was because his original intention was not to destroy everything, and his attitude towards the human race was not extreme hatred. Moreover, because he was an otherworldly being, he could easily view all problems with an objective attitude. There was no doubt that he was a very suitable existence to be a supervisor.
Besides …
Even though he had the same selfish emotions as humans, his selfishness that relied on the word 'survival' was far from the selfishness and greed in the eyes of ordinary people …
Not only did he not exploit others with this power, but he also forced the weak into a 'dead end' and had to start paying attention to the current world in order to survive. Was this kind of person … really wicked beyond redemption?
The answer was obviously no …
Looking at the problem from the subjective point of view of people, a guy like Yinggou who ignored others for his own survival might really be considered as one of those so-called wicked beyond redemption.
But from an objective point of view, if one recognized the so-called equality of all living beings in the world, and humans could kill other weak races in the world for their own survival … or even to satisfy some unnecessary desires, why couldn't Yinggou prioritize his own safety?
Moreover …
Wasn't the reason why Yinggou embarked on this path because of the extreme self-consciousness of people?
Even if people didn't want to admit it, they couldn't deny that it did exist in an objective fact. As long as people didn't look at it from the extreme self-consciousness of people, Yinggou could even be said to be a qualified life and a kind one who knew how to restrain his desires.
In other words …
The old man felt that as a form of life, Yinggou was undoubtedly more qualified to live than most people in the world because as long as it didn't involve his own survival, Yinggou's existence … was obviously less harmful to the world than the human community.
But …
The old man was, after all, an ordinary person. Even if he looked at the problem from an absolutely objective point of view, what he truly cared about was the interests of the community. After all, no matter how the world ended … people still had to eat.
As a human, he wouldn't admit that Yinggou was a good person.... and rationally, he also didn't think that Yinggou was truly wicked beyond redemption …
But as long as he could let the small group of people he cared about taste the sweetness, even if he had to let Yinggou, who was neither friend nor foe, exist forever, even if he had to pay a certain price for it, in his heart, he was completely willing and able to bear it.
"Actually, you don't have to say much …" Liu Xiaojiang naturally understood the old man's thoughts. But it was also because he understood the old man's intentions that some hesitation appeared in his eyes.
"After all, I believe you should have understood by now that the reason why I'm standing against all of you is to create a more suitable environment for myself …"
"But …"
Speaking of which.
He looked at the old man with a complicated expression and said, "If you … or all of you, are willing to make concessions for my survival, this cleansing isn't necessary …"
"No …" Before Liu Xiaojiang could finish his sentence, the old man shook his head and refused. "Things have reached this stage. There's no turning back."
"After all, many people now know your identity and understand why you want to be enemies with us. They also treat this as an irreconcilable conflict between different races. In this case … the idea of the race will only be strengthened. How can ordinary people accept your existence?"
"And …"
"They still don't know about the existence of the Inhumans. If one day, even the Inhumans circle inevitably comes to the forefront and let ordinary people know that you, an Inhuman, were once a member of the Inhumans, then … How will the Inhumans be treated in the eyes of ordinary people?"
"Relatively …"
"Those Inhumans may not show their emotions on their faces, but the unfair treatment they have suffered in recent years does exist. If the Inhumans, who are already indignant in their hearts, are strongly resisted by ordinary people … or even treated with hostility, even an old man like me can't handle all the problems."
"What should I do? What can I do … Do I have to use force to forcefully mediate the conflict between ordinary people and Inhumans? Do I have to let the problem lurk until it can't be tolerated anymore in the future?"
"Or …"
At this point.
Even though the old man was still smiling, his eyes revealed an irrefutable intent.
"Do you want me to completely erase the existence of the Inhumans? Don't forget about the company, Little Zhao, and Mount Longhu … They are all categorized as part of the Inhumans circle. Besides, whenever you mention Mount Longhu … it may involve the issue of sects. Do you want the world to fall into chaos?"
"When that happens, it won't be a situation where all the problems can be solved by sacrificing a small number of people …"
"…" Liu Xiaojiang was speechless.
"The gears that haven't turned for a long time have been smeared with oil. Even if we don't do anything, it will start to change slightly and eventually drag everything forward …" The old man couldn't help but remind.
"Xiao Jiang, you have to do it now even if you don't want to. This may not be the only path you can take, but it must be the path that seems bloody, but in fact, has the least impact on the world … and will be accompanied by other good opportunities."
"Your appearance and 'loss of control' has given us the opportunity to solve the Inhumans problem. Besides, it may be the only chance in many years … I won't let it slip through people's fingers."
"So …"
"Since you used me, this old man, and I was willing to be used by you for an opportunity, even at the cost of becoming a sinner for eternity … It's time for you to repay me."
"You have to walk down this path without turning back. You have to find a reasonable way to leave in the end … Become the villain that forces people to unite in the future and leave them with the impression that you will make a comeback at any time."
"Like … the kind that I will be back?" Liu Xiaojiang was well aware of this, which was why he was so hesitant and complicated. However, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times when he heard the old man's vision of his future.
"Yes, a hungry wolf that will never be able to eat sheep … Perhaps this is a good role to play." The old man seemed to have thought of something and nodded with a smile.
