Chapter 2515: I’m Not a Savior (2)
When Shen Yanxiao made sacred tools for the leaders of the four countries, Tang Nazhi once asked her
why even trash like Gu Lan and Gu Feng could have the sacred tools she created.
Her answer was simple — for the sake of mankind’s strength.
Fighting against the devils, they needed all the strength they could have and that included the strength of
the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps. Therefore, she let bygones be bygones and provided sacred tools even
for Gu Lan and Gu Feng. In that way, they could have better chances to survive in the battle.
Why did she requite evil for good in regards to the Long Xuan Empire?
That was also for strength.
All this seemed to be so seless. In order to save the Radiance Continent, she completely abandoned her
grievances and joined hands with former enemies.
Quite the Holy Mother’s performance.
Shen Yanxiao stood in the temple and looked at the godhoods shining in the temple with a faint smile on
her mouth.
Was that really it?
Obviously, that wasn’t it. Shen Yanxiao had never been a good person, let alone a savior who would
sacrice herself for the greater good of others. She worked so hard and traveled everywhere, even
making her former enemies stronger, for a very simple reason.
Because she wanted to live well.
The victory of the devils would lead to the complete fall of the Radiance Continent, and even her Barren
Land would denitely not be preserved. The Rising Sun City would also be occupied by the devils and
those in the city would become corpses under the butcher knife of the devils. Those she cared about
would not escape death as well.
What she wanted to save was not the Radiance Continent, nor the human beings, but herself and those
she cared about.
The invasion of the Devil Race compelled all the forces in the Radiance Continent to unite. No one would
start a conict against another at this time, because no matter how much help they received from Shen
Yanxiao, it was only limited against the Devil Race. Moreover, even if Shen Yanxiao were to give them
some, she would still not allow them to surpass her in strength. For her today, whether it were Gu Feng or
the Long Xuan Empire’s emperor, such people had already lost the qualication to be enemies with her.
She only needed one nger to crush them.
Instead of getting rid of them for the sake of a moment’s pleasure, it was better to give them some
benets and let them work for her and protect the Radiance Continent.
From beginning to end, Shen Yanxiao was not a savior. She was just using all available resources to
ensure her future survival.
This was Shen Yanxiao. After becoming the Demon Lord, she learned the art of controlling people.
If she were all alone and concerned only for herself, she could just have let the attack of the Devil Race be.
Even if the Radiance Continent fell and the world was ruined, she still had the ability to ensure her own
survival. She also believed that the other members of the Phantom also had this ability.
But in the Barren Land, there were still their families.
The clan heads of the ve great clans were already old and could not aord to travel around.
Shen Yanxiao did not stand up for the sake of mankind, nor for the sake of the Radiance Continent, nor
for the sake of this world. She did it for herself.
What she wanted to protect could not be preserved by herself alone. Therefore, she had actively formed
an alliance to have all living beings in the world join her to protect what she cared about.
To outsiders, she was a great savior.
But in fact, only she knew that she was merely playing some tricks under the eyes of the world.
Unfortunately, no one could see it.
Gu Lan was very grateful to her for her generosity. Long Yue was very grateful to her for her magnanimity.
What she wanted was such an eect.
