Chapter 395: Keep the Fantasy Naive and Cruel

Seeing Ye Tianxuan's enthusiastic invitation, Yin Xiu didn't have a good feeling.

Ye Tianxuan is a person who never does any dirty or tiring work himself, and will leave it all to other people. Normally, the people who are assigned tasks will be grateful to him, but Yin Xiu will not be fooled easily.

"What favor do you need? You need to tell me clearly first." Yin Xiu said calmly. He happened to show up at this time, which meant that Ye Tianxuan originally had other candidates, but Yin Xiu's convenience was much higher than others, so he would temporarily ask Yin Xiu for help, but it didn't mean that Yin Xiu was the only one.

"Okay, I just wanted to talk to you about Changsheng City." Ye Tianxuan moved a chair from the side and prepared to talk to Yin Xiu in detail. As for Li Mo who also wanted to help, it didn't matter at all. Anyway, dealing with Yin Xiu was equivalent to dealing with Li Mo.

"The city you came to should also have disappeared gods and high priests, right?" Ye Tianxuan asked.

Yin Xiu nodded.

"How did you feel about your contact with the high priests of other cities?"

Yin Xiu pondered, "The high priests all have different personalities, but they all love God very much. Sometimes they manipulate the citizens of the city, forcing their own belief in God's return on them, causing the entire city to become ablaze with anxiety."

Ye Tianxuan continued to ask: "Which do you think has a greater influence on the believers, the high priest or faith?"

Yin Xiu had seen high priests who had a strong desire to control the citizens and tried to force them to continue to believe in God, and he had also seen high priests who did not manage the citizens, letting their faith run wild but still letting themselves be dragged into it. If he had to choose between the two...

"The greatest influence is the citizens' own belief in God, coupled with the high priest's mandatory control. The second most influential factor is the citizens' own faith, and finally the high priest's influence."

Ye Tianxuan nodded. "The Changsheng City where I am now is the worst case scenario. The citizens here are deeply obsessed with their faith in God. They won't turn back until death is imminent. Even then, they are forced to change their faith in order to survive. And then there's the high priest, who is just as paranoid as the citizens. He will wait for God's return no matter what. This city is very difficult to deal with."

Yin Xiu nodded and roughly understood. The Twin Cities were because the citizens did not believe in God that much, which was the result of the high priest forcing them to believe in God. The Forgotten City was ruined because the citizens themselves had an extremely high and stubborn belief in God.

Changsheng City, this seemingly prosperous and peaceful city, is actually a combination of two cities and is in the worst state.

But even so, Yin Xiu still felt that it would not be that difficult to subdue them.

"Why don't you capture the high priestess and take her to the city's citizens to convert them to a different faith? Since they all want to live, why not force them to die?" Yin Xiu was puzzled. After all, he was the best at forcing others to die.

The Forgotten City scares its citizens, the Twin Cities scares the high priest, and wherever there is an obstacle, they will scare it and get to the source.

"No, no, you don't know. When the two kinds of things meet, the people here will really become extreme. Moreover, Changsheng City is related to lifespan. Lifespan is the same as life and death. The people here value lifespan the most, but they don't realize that they themselves have become indifferent to life and death." Ye Tianxuan leaned back in his chair and sighed.

“When I first came to Changsheng City, I was a little scared by this place. A group of dying people were kneeling in front of the main city. There were countless people standing in front of them, but no one wanted to save them. The high priest didn’t care either.

"Those standing people are scary, but what scares me most are those kneeling people."

"They knew they were going to die, but they didn't rebel against Changsheng City or the high priest. They simply knelt there, letting everyone witness their disappearance. If I hadn't appeared, they would have truly died. And when this kind of death befell those who walked past the main city, they would have accepted it calmly, just like those kneeling people."

Ye Tianxuan raised his eyes and looked out the window, listening to the intermittent noises coming from the house. "They themselves didn't notice it, but I did. My presence only gave them the motivation and reason to resist, so they stayed alive."

"And those who still believe in the high priest...will be even more hopeless."

Yin Xiu listened attentively and thought seriously. "So, the situation I came to this city now is the current situation after you used your monopoly on supplies to cut off their hope and forced them. But even if they were wavering, their mentality was already very bad, and they still didn't choose you."

Ye Tianxuan nodded. "I anticipated this situation, but I didn't really want to push them into a desperate situation and watch them go crazy."

His gaze was fixed on the window, staring straight at something. "They still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts, a tall tower standing tall in their hearts. As long as the tower doesn't fall, their faith and hope will not fall either. What I have to do now is to tear down the tower in their hearts."

Yin Xiu followed Ye Tianxuan's gaze out the window and saw the main city standing tall in the center of Changsheng City. He understood instantly.

The main city represents God, the main city represents hope, and the high priest also lives in the main city, the high priest who has always given them hope.

As long as the tower is still there, the high priest or the high priest's faith is still there, the roots in their hearts cannot be uprooted.

"Then what do you want me to help you do? Kill the high priest? Or ask Li Mo to push down that tower?" Yin Xiu retracted his gaze and looked at Ye Tianxuan. After thinking about it, he still felt that the best way was to kill the high priest.

"Don't be so impetuous, Great Killer God." Ye Tianxuan smiled and supported his chin and joked, "I heard a little about the high priest and God from the people here."

"Trying to understand your opponent will only make you soft-hearted. That's why you keep procrastinating and refusing to give up on anyone." Yin Xiu lowered his eyes. This was what Ye Tianxuan would do, but it was not what he would do.

"Since I want to save everyone in Changsheng City, that of course includes the high priest. The high priest is also a human being." Ye Tianxuan narrowed his eyes happily. He was not angry when Yin Xiu despised him. Instead, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and played with it between his fingers.

"The high priestess of this city was chosen by the gods at a very young age and then lived in the tall tower that represents the gods and hope. According to the people of Changsheng City, she has lived for a long time but has always maintained a youthful appearance, always looking like fifteen or sixteen years old. It is said that this is the look that the gods like best."

"For so many years, she has been staying by God's side, never leaving that tower. As a human, she is still like a child, never leaving her safe haven. And because she has lived for so long and has never communicated with ordinary people, she has forgotten that she is a human being.

"When the gods disappeared, she lost the existence that occupied almost her entire life. She believed that she was neither an ordinary person nor a true god. As an existence between the two, she took over Changsheng City, holding the hope that the gods would return and controlling Changsheng City.

"She believed that as long as she lived long enough, she would be able to wait for the day when God would return. In that room that looked a bit like a child's, she immersed herself in fairy tales, maintaining her fantasy, innocent yet cruel."
