Cao Guangxing's reaction was normal.
After all, the Creation Cult had destroyed District 11 and was a cult that damaged the city walls before.
Getting them to acknowledge the status of Creation City now will certainly not be so easy.
Qin Sheng also admired his decision.
Now, with the bomb countdown underway, there are no cult members around him to control him.
If Cao Guangxing himself didn't know how to defuse the bomb, the door might have been sealed shut, putting himself in a hopeless situation.
However, there is other support available.
"Kurong, get to work."
As the voice faded, a golden mist appeared in Cao Guangxing's sight.
"This is?"
Cao Guangxing was taken aback.
Qin Sheng then explained, "Ku Rong is the embodiment of the human race's fortune."
"Hello, Cao Guangxing."
The sound of decay and decay rang out, and at that moment, the countdown to the bomb reached its end. Accompanied by a beeping sound, there was no movement whatsoever.
Outside, a bomb disposal expert who happened to discover the city lord's suicidal thoughts quietly left, concealing his merits and fame.
Cao Guangxing silently watched the golden mist appear before him and understood what Qin Sheng meant by "luck".
"Withering and flourishing..."
Cao Guangxing muttered something, then frowned: "Why did you end up with Qin Sheng?"
"That's a misleading statement. We're cooperating," Qin Sheng retorted, speechless.
"They're all the same."
Cao Guangxing said coldly, "Human affairs are for humans to resolve themselves; it's none of the Creation Cult's business to interfere."
Qin Sheng's lips twitched. So they just expelled him from the human race?
"I don't want to either," Ku Rong said helplessly. "But the problem is, I'm also a spendthrift. What can I do if I lose?"
Cao Guangxing was speechless for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.
"Then why are you making a move now?"
Ku Rong slowly said, "I am different from you. I always look at things from the perspective of the future of the entire human race, and the promotion of living weapons will be of great help to the human race."
"In the future, warriors will no longer need to worry about the threat of alien beasts, and the increase in collective strength will also make it unnecessary to seal the city gates."
"Suppressed freedom will gradually recover, bringing warmth to human society."
"That's why I'm here now."
Cao Guangxing pondered, "But what about the families who lost loved ones because of the actions of the Creation Cult? What will happen to them after they acknowledge the status of Creation City?"
"To put it mildly, these people may not be able to cause any real trouble; at most, they will just voice their opinions online."
"But there are also some exceptionally talented individuals among them, and if they were to unite, they could cause even greater turmoil!"
"More importantly, once we bow our heads this time, there's no turning back!"
Qin Sheng said quietly, "I didn't ask you to bow down. You can still consider the Creation Sect as your enemy."
"hehe."
Cao Guangxing said coldly, "If it's just about promoting live weapons, then there's no problem. We can do it in Qin Sheng's name."
"But after promoting live weapons? Are you just going to look at the money you get?"
"If we supply resources to Genesis City, can this act of aiding the enemy be justified?"
Ku Rong said playfully, "Let's do it secretly."
Cao Guangxing glanced at Ku Rong: "I'm starting to doubt your brain."
"Are you worried about the consequences if you get caught?" Kurong asked rhetorically.
"certainly."
Ku Rong pointed to himself: "With me here, no one will find out."
After a pause, Ku Rong said meaningfully, "Moreover, even if it is discovered, it will only be a redistribution of power among the classes."
"That's how wilderness bandits came about."
Cao Guangxing's pupils contracted, and he fell silent.
Qin Sheng raised an eyebrow; the origins of the wilderness bandits were also recorded in Flying Cherry City.
Rumors circulated that the Wilderness Bandits were formed by sinners who had committed serious crimes and were expelled from the city, such as Luo Hongxia, who was exiled at the time.
They lived and multiplied in the wilderness, gradually forming the Wilderness Bandits.
But if only a few criminals were occasionally banished, how could the current number of wilderness bandits have grown to what it is today?
The first group of wilderness bandits were actually the people who controlled the Nine Cities at the beginning of their establishment.
After a series of oppressions and resistance, the original power holders were driven out of the Nine Cities, and a new people took over the Nine Cities.
If what Ku Rong said is true, the next time the strength of the wilderness bandits increases will be when Cao Guangxing is driven out of the Nine Cities.
Cao Guangxing had nothing to say about this.
In this era of terrifying individual combat power, such a thing seems impossible, but the key lies with Elder Ren, who is a demigod.
Fortunately, Mr. Ren is a true guardian angel; otherwise, The Nine Cities would be a sin city by now.
"So, I didn't have a choice?"
"That's not quite right," Ku Rong said slowly. "Let me explain the Anomalies to you."
A moment later, Cao Guangxing also realized the importance of studying anomalies.
If they could control it, it would be an entity that could provide an unlimited amount of extraordinary resources!
"At present, our goals are the same."
Qin Sheng said leisurely, "Before we deal with the Azure Dragon and thoroughly study the Anomaly, we are not enemies for the time being."
"It's less about you bowing your heads and more about you enduring hardship."
"After all, you have no chance of winning now, so why not wait for the next demigod to appear and then have a final battle with the Creation Cult?"
Cao Guangxing was looking down, deep in thought.
"certainly."
Qin Sheng's voice rang out again, full of mockery: "Now you have no choice either."
With the bomb defused, Qin Sheng could easily manipulate Cao Guangxing into becoming the ringleader.
The withered and flourishing plants slowly disappeared, seemingly no longer needing their presence.
It doesn't care about the fate of individual humans; it cares about the future of humanity as a whole.
After a moment, Cao Guangxing spoke in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I understand."
"That's good. You're a smart person too."
Qin Sheng paused for a moment: "I chose a gentle approach because I didn't want to make things too complicated and waste my research time."
"Otherwise, given the current rate of development of the Creation Cult, the outcome of the war would be obvious."
"Think about it carefully."
Qin Sheng's voice also disappeared, leaving only Cao Guangxing's breathing in the pitch-black room.
"Demigod, destiny..."
Cao Guangxing did not go back on his word and was indeed willing to take the lead.
But as Qin Sheng said, he was enduring it.
"Kuru, are you there?"
Cao Guangxing spoke softly, and although he received no reply, he remained steadfast in his belief that life and death were intertwined.
Qin Sheng was very confident, and what he said was quite right.
After slaying the demigod, the Creation Cult truly had no chance of losing.
Even the two demigods in the future will not be his match.
But what if we add the cycle of flourishing and decay to that?
Although he lost, he lost, and the demigod lost.
But now, the only way to overthrow the Creation Cult is to unite.
Since Ku Rong prioritizes the future of the human race, it would be very easy to force him to take sides.
Even now, Cao Guangxing has not given up fighting against the Creation Cult!
