Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

1821 Even If the Future Is Already Predetermined

After letting everything out, Su Mulian breathed a long sigh.

It looked like she had put down a cross that had been entangled in thorns and flames for decades. She suddenly felt light and bright.

At this moment, the sound of dense footsteps came from downstairs.

It had to be the members of the adjudicator court, Research Department, Red Dragon Army, and other disciplinary forces that had heard the news and rushed over to arrest Su Mulian.

After all, Lu Siya was a core member of the nine great families and the Azure Alliance. The assassination attempt on her was likely on the same level as “endangering the safety of Dragon City.” It was not something that Meng Chao could resolve alone.

In such troubled times, even Meng Chao, who had just saved Dragon City, had no right to stop the relevant departments from taking Su Mulian away for further interrogation.

He could only throw out one last question before she was taken upstairs.

“So, what do you think the problem is?” he stared into Su Mulian’s eyes and asked.

“Since the flames of the apocalypse have appeared in your nightmares countless times, you must have thought about this question a lot. What do you think is the direct cause of Dragon City’s destruction?”

Su Mulian looked at Meng Chao in surprise.

“You… Do you believe everything I told you?” she asked hesitantly.

“That depends on your answer.”

Meng Chao shook his head and resolutely said, “I don’t believe that I’m the key to Dragon City’s destruction. Whether I exist or not, whether I become the leader of Dragon City’s civilization, whether I’m a third-class elite or someone who has surpassed the Deity Realm, whether I’m a nobody or a legend, the day of the burning apocalypse will still come!

“Hence, there must be another reason, a more important direct reason!

“We pushed the Holy Light faction too far… That’s the direct reason.”

Su Mulian had indeed thought about the same question numerous times.

When she heard the dense stomping sounds of war boots embedded with steel plates coming from the corridor outside, she no longer hesitated. She seized every second and said, “Listen, Meng Chao. If you really become the leader of Dragon City’s civilization one day and insist on starting a war with the Holy Light faction, please make sure, make sure to keep the war’s scale and intensity within a certain range!

“Find an opportunity to stop while you’re ahead. Don’t push the Holy Light faction to the limit!

“Perhaps, at the beginning of the war, we can make use of Dragon City’s advantage, the steel torrent from Earth to beat the Holy Light faction until they’re confused. While they haven’t figured out our background, we can start negotiations, sign a treaty, swallow the fruits of our victory, and slowly plan!

“Don’t chase after them, and don’t expect to finish everything in one stroke, completely destroying the Holy Light faction and becoming the master of this planet.

“The Other World is far more powerful and mysterious than we can ever imagine. If we really push the Holy Light faction to the limit, they’ll summon destructive weapons from the sky to clean and restart the entire ecosystem.

“When that happens, forget humans, even every rat that hides deep under Dragon City will be annihilated, and they’ll die without a burial place!”

While they spoke, several short-haired men appeared at the ward’s door. They were dressed in black combat uniforms with the adjudicator court and Research Department’s badges.

Song Jinbo had already informed them of the basic situation.

When they saw that Meng Chao, as well as Lu Siya, were safe and the suspect did not show any signs of resisting, they let out a sigh of relief.

After all, Meng Chao was an extraordinary legendary figure, and he was one of the Research Department’s “people.” The law-enforcement officers looked at each other and did not rush in. Instead, they stood at the door and waited for Meng Chao’s instructions.

This was because the matter involved him and even people he considered as family. Even though they might be his future “family members,” Meng Chao had no reason to interfere with their enforcement.

He could only wave his hand to signal the others to take Su Mulian away.

Obviously, Su Mulian could not remain silent in the adjudicator court or the Research Department’s interrogation room.

To change the future as much as possible, she would definitely repeat what she had just said to Meng Chao and Lu Siya to the relevant departments and major forces over and over again.

With Meng Chao’s current status, prestige, and power, he did not mind being labeled as a tyrant.

In fact, even if he told them about the apocalyptic nightmare he had experienced and the other version of the future that Kanus, the Jackal had foreseen, no one could do anything to him.

Nevertheless, he had to carefully think of a way to tell the relevant departments, the major forces, and all the citizens of Dragon City about the many different paths leading to the same future. He had contemplate the shocking waves that could be set off and the chain reactions that no one could predict.

“Kanus, Su Mulian, and I… Three people, three nightmares, three different futures, but the results are exactly the same.

“No, there are more than three. When I was in a coma after the fierce battle with the Mother of Origin, I saw countless futures that resembled translucent fertilized eggs deep inside my brain.

“In the various futures, I played different identities and experienced different lives as an ordinary person or an expert, but the ending was the same. The end of the world came and destroyed everything!

“What do these d*mn nightmares mean? Are they of a real future or a future possibility?

“The only people who can see this ‘possible future’ are me, Kanus, and Su Mulian, or are there more ‘kindred spirits’ out there?

“However, no matter how different the process is in the future that we see, ten thousand suns will ultimately explode in the sky above the city, and blazing flames will fall from the sky. Does this mean that this fate of destruction has long been predetermined, and Dragon City will not be able to escape its doom?

“Once this news is made public, how will the millions of ordinary citizens take it?

“Everyone will fall into despair, give up struggling, and wait for death. Even the entire city will fall into a state of madness where death is certain. Will they destroy themselves before the apocalypse destroys them?

“Or will it not matter even if they know that the final outcome will be destruction, whether they repeat it a thousand times or even ten thousand times? Will the people of Dragon City still willingly unite as one, live the best they can until death, and do everything for their future?”

This was a matter of great importance, and Meng Chao dared not come to a conclusion.

He fell into deep thought for a long time.

If he could, he would likely recall the futures that he had seen in his trance and search for a slim chance of survival among the ten thousand destructive outcomes.

Right then, he felt a burning gaze sweeping across his face.

He looked up and saw Lu Siya’s excited face and bright eyes.
