I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 706 The Choices to Make When You're in a High Position

Jiang Chen sat alone outside the ancient city for a long time, pondering everything that had happened before, and all the information he had seen, heard, and seen.

We will compile, analyze, and summarize these findings.

If what the Demon Queen Lillian said is true, then she has been balancing the three forces all these years.

After cooperating with humans to drive out the dragons, she actually had the ability to wipe out the human race.

Even if Antares' existence prevents the complete annihilation of humanity, it can at least allow him to occupy most of the human world.

To keep humans in captivity, or at least prevent them from developing further.

Antares wouldn't interfere in this matter. Antares had stated that its responsibility was only to prevent the human race from being wiped out, nothing more. However, Demon Empress Lillian didn't do that; instead, she killed several high-level Demon Kings and even created the illusion that there were still powerful individuals among the human race.

This made the previously unbridled demon kings hesitant to act rashly, ultimately leading to a relative balance between the abyss demons and the human race.

Humanity also developed a thousand years ago, and although it is still weaker than the Abyss Demons, it is not much weaker now.

Even more than 600 years ago, she discovered Jiang Yi, who came from outer space, and plotted to ambush and kill him.

She was afraid that Jiang Yi would reach god-like status and ultimately break the balance.

Balance... All these years, she has been pursuing balance. In this sense, it was she who truly spared humanity, allowing humanity to survive and thrive in this era.

It is indeed somewhat laughable and unbelievable.

But that's the truth.

Jiang Chen confirmed all of this with Antares. The enemy that humanity hated most was actually the very person behind the scenes who gave humanity the space to live…

"How ironic!"

Jiang Chen knew he couldn't tell anyone about this, because even if he did, probably no one would believe him.

He found that his position was different, the things he saw had changed, and the way he thought about problems was different from before.

He once thought that the Demon Worship Society was a major scourge on the human race, and that if it was not eradicated, the human race would be in big trouble.

In retrospect, the Demon Worship Society is nothing; it cannot affect the balance between the two sides at all, let alone shake the foundation of the human race.

The Worship of Demons is like a bedbug; it may look a little smelly and dirty, but that's about it.

This was even more true in the eyes of Demon Queen Lillian; she saw him as a toy that could be discarded at any time. Therefore, before the cooperation even began, she abandoned the Demon Worship Association to show her sincerity. After gaining a different perspective, Jiang Chen found his heart hardened.

He had to make a choice: fight to the death against the demons for the sake of humanity's past hatred, or cooperate with the demons for the sake of humanity's future peaceful life. This was a decision that needed to be made, and it had to be made by a select few. There was no need to tell too many people; it would be pointless.

After pondering for a long time, Jiang Chen left the ancient battlefield, returned to the human world, and went back to the White God's Courtyard.

These days have passed, and the human world has been pacified, returning to its former state.

The atmosphere of peace that had been built up over hundreds of years was able to return after a period of tension.

After several busy days, Li Xueru, Lao Hong, and the others finally had some free time. At this moment, they, along with Yan Kuangsheng and two others, were drinking tea in the courtyard.

As for the suicides that occurred half a day ago, they actually involved very few within the Divine Dragon Empire. The nearly 10,000 suicides were primarily concentrated in other factions and countries.

After all, the last major purge had already eliminated a large number of members of the Demon Worship Society.

As soon as Jiang Chen returned, Li Xueru said, "Xiao Mo, we've found out that the people who committed suicide half a day ago were indeed members of the Demon Worship Society."

"They're very well hidden; we missed them during the last big cleanup," Old Hong said in a low voice. "I didn't expect the Demon Worship Society to be so well hidden. These people are all undercover agents; they don't move normally, so we couldn't detect them."

Yan Kuangsheng chuckled and retorted to Lao Hong, "Just admit it yourself, what's with all this talk about 'secret agents'?"

Old Hong grunted twice and glared at Old Hong, but this time, surprisingly, he held back and didn't retort.

Li Xueru said, "Xiao Mo, why did you rush off? Is something wrong?" Jiang Chen sat down, poured tea for the three of them, and poured himself a cup as well. "I discussed some things with Lillian."

The three of them were taken aback. Who was Lillian?

None of them had ever heard of this name.

This name seems to have never appeared in human historical records. Jiang Chen realized this and casually said, "Lillian is the Demon Emperor." The three of them were shocked. Old Hong even spat out the tea in his mouth, spraying it all over Yan Kuangsheng's face. He looked pale and said, "You went to see the Demon Emperor?"

Jiang Chen nodded. "Yes, I also went to the Demon Emperor's Palace."

I also went to the Demon Emperor's Palace...

Jiang Chen's casual remark sent chills down the spines of the three. Going to the Abyss was scary enough, but going to the Demon Emperor's Palace was even more terrifying.

And after going there, they returned safely.

The three exchanged bewildered glances, finally realizing that their disciple seemed to have reached a height they could never attain. Among the human race, only Jiang Chen was qualified to speak with Antares on equal footing. And in human history, only Jiang Chen had ever entered the Demon Emperor's Palace and emerged unscathed.

Li Xueru took a deep breath to calm himself down. "What did you discuss with the Demon Emperor?"

Jiang Chen slowly said, "The Demon Emperor wants to cooperate with me..." Jiang Chen explained the Demon Emperor's desire to cooperate with him. However, Jiang Chen did not mention his own thoughts on the matter, fearing that his opinions would influence Li Xueru and the others' judgment.

The expressions on the faces of Li Xueru and the other two as they recounted their story were quite varied.

They listened as if to a bizarre myth, finding it hard to believe that human history could contain such a huge error.

Jiang Chen knew that even without external interference, history would inevitably contain errors and omissions.

Moreover, behind the entire human race, there exists a figure operating in the shadows.

After a long while, Li Xueru finally let out a long sigh, "When I was studying the history of the human race back then, I did feel that something was not quite right."

"A thousand years ago, the human race was not powerful, and was the weakest of the three races. Especially after driving out the dragons, the human race had no chance of winning against the abyss demons on its own."

"At that time, the demons of the abyss had the opportunity to destroy us, but they did not."

"Historical records also mention the mysterious deaths of several Demon Kings, suggesting the presence of hidden powerhouses among the human race. I never imagined it would be the Demon Emperor..." Jiang Chen's words completely overturned the three's understanding of human history. Because of Antares's presence, they all knew that what Jiang Chen said must be true.

Antares has been here for who knows how long, and can be said to have witnessed the rise and fall of the human race in this era.

History may be wrong, but Antares is not.

Old Hong said, "So, in fact, the Demon Emperor has done a favor for our human race?"

Jiang Chen nodded. "Although she has her own motives, she has indeed done a favor for our human race." Li Xueru said, "According to her, the consciousness of the Abyss Demons is to bring destruction, and she cannot openly stop other Abyss Demons. In order to maintain balance, she can only choose this method." "In fact, it has given the human race time to breathe and develop, and her hands are not stained with the blood of the human race." "I think this cooperation is feasible."
