"Is that all?" Ku Rong asked in confusion. "What if I had a rather wicked personality?"
"Of course not."
Qin Sheng continued, "You deliberately instigated infighting among the followers, probably to prepare for that one moment of control, right?"
Ku Rong did not answer, nor did his expression change in the slightest.
But my heart was already churning with turmoil.
“I didn’t understand why you wanted to control the infighting among your followers before, but after the moment you controlled me, I understood.”
"Logically speaking, all of humanity is within your surveillance range, and you also know that my battle with the demigod is the key to determining the outcome."
"But you still go to great lengths to incite infighting among believers; there must be a reason for such a thankless task."
Qin Sheng said unhurriedly, "After you controlled me for a moment, I was very curious. Since you had this ability, why didn't you just intervene during my battle with the demigod?"
"Although one or two incidents won't affect the situation, if it happens too often, I will definitely lose."
"But you didn't do that, perhaps because you were worried that a demigod couldn't kill me, or perhaps your methods have limitations."
"Obviously, the latter makes more sense, since you can use a demigod as a trump card."
Qin Sheng shrugged: "If even you think that a demigod can't kill someone who's frozen in place, you probably would have given up long ago."
"It seems you wouldn't dare use such a method lightly, so you choose to trust your own power, which is the wisp of rule on Ye Bufan's weapon."
Ku Rong nodded silently, tacitly agreeing.
Let me guess.
Qin Sheng said thoughtfully, "You know I can control the followers. If I find that there is infighting among them, I will definitely keep them in place, and they will be unable to take any action."
"You could do that too, since you can monitor everyone's movements at all times, but you still did it..."
Qin Sheng nodded: "You restrained your power, right? The moment you controlled me, you also lost your ability to monitor others?"
Ku Rong looked at Qin Sheng with complicated emotions, and said in complete resignation, "I lost completely."
But Qin Sheng frowned: "I just don't understand. It's just a matter of monitoring for a little less time, why are you being so careful?"
Ku Rong sighed: "My life has been very long. I have seen many born leaders, indomitable people, and moving love stories, but there is only one kind of person I cannot understand."
"What?"
"fool…"
"?"
Ku Rong sighed: "As the saying goes, a bad person's cunning is no match for a fool's quick thinking. These people can always bring great disasters to mankind in various ways."
"For example, there was once a genius who wanted to go camping in the wilderness but was worried about safety. Guess what they did?"
Ku Rong sighed, "They actually thought of tearing down some sections of the city wall and building a house in the wilderness to camp!"
"It's all thanks to me that the first blood on the city wall wouldn't have been won by the Creation Cult."
Qin Sheng silently gave a thumbs up.
“Besides these divine beings, there are people like you.”
Ku Rong looked at Qin Sheng with a complicated expression: "There aren't many people as smart as you, but there are quite a few too. Among them, there are always some who had tragic childhoods and wanted to destroy the world."
"I need to keep a close eye on them and gradually correct them. I can't let them grow unchecked."
"After all, humans are far too advanced when it comes to self-destruction."
Ku Rong pondered, "Perhaps this is also the reason for my birth?"
"So, I'm the one who slipped through the net?" Qin Sheng raised an eyebrow.
Ku Rong shook his head: "No, I noticed you when the Creation Cult first emerged, and you guessed correctly later."
"I want to make you Ye Bufan's final challenge. After defeating you, he will become a demigod and slay the Azure Dragon."
"only…"
Qin Sheng said with amusement, "It seems you are too confident in the strength of a demigod."
“Yes.” Ku Rong admitted, “I thought that no matter how strong you were, even a demigod could overpower you, but I didn’t expect… sigh.”
"Since we're on the topic of the Azure Dragon..."
Qin Sheng's gaze turned serious: "The source of the strange beasts lies within the Azure Dragon?"
"You could say that."
Ku Rong began to explain the origin of the strange beast.
Do you know what a projector is?
"I know." Qin Sheng frowned slightly. "The strange beasts are projections? Do you know where the source is?"
Ku Rong pointed to the sky: "Space."
The so-called projector is actually a point that appears out of thin air in space. It is called an anomaly by Ku Rong, and it fluctuates every 24 hours.
This fluctuation is the reason why the alien beasts suddenly respawned.
Ku Rong could not comprehend the anomaly, much less understand why that fluctuation would cover the entire globe.
"Just like quantum entanglement in your science, the moment that fluctuation appears, the alien beast is refreshed on Blue Star without any time deviation."
Ku Rong continued to explain: "And the strange beasts themselves also emit this kind of fluctuation, but very little of it. Only when a large number of them gather can they affect the fluctuation of the anomaly."
"So when all the alien beasts in a region are killed and the fluctuations cease, the anomaly will project new alien beasts back in."
Qin Sheng squinted and shifted his gaze to his feet.
"So, the reason why the strange beasts don't spawn in the Nine Cities is also because of the strange beasts?"
"That's right. After the invasion of the alien beasts, I started to study this fluctuation. Although I couldn't figure out the principle, I did discover that the fluctuations inside the alien beasts could cancel it out."
"I have found nine special beasts."
"The fluctuations within their bodies can not only counteract the projection of alien points, but their life forms are also unique, not bound by any particular form, and their aggression is far lower than that of other alien beasts."
“I bound them within the city walls; those peculiar patterns are their pulse, and the city walls are their flesh and blood, thus forming the Nine Cities we see today.”
Qin Sheng's lips twitched; this was a bit cruel.
"What's the deal with that demigod's power?"
"That's just for reinforcement," Kurong explained. "After all, these kinds of beasts are all about being tough and have very poor defense. They can't withstand the attacks of these beasts as city walls."
"So let the demigod go up and reinforce it again."
Qin Sheng nodded, having figured out half of the origin of the strange beast.
"You said the Anomaly is in space, which means the Azure Dragon is also nearby?"
Ku Rong nodded: "Yes."
"I suspect that behind the anomaly lies a new world, the world where the alien beasts themselves live."
"The fluctuations emanating from them may be the aura of that world, canceling out the anomalies."
"The Azure Dragon's strength was too terrifying. It sensed the aura of its original world within itself and found the place where the aura was most concentrated, the Anomaly."
After a pause, Ku Rong looked up at the sky with a complex expression.
"I had hoped that the Azure Dragon would destroy the Anomaly, or leave through it, but it was unable to affect the Anomaly."
"So he lingered in that area, watching the anomaly all day long."
"Maybe it wants to go home too."
