It’s not that there are feelings for the Demon Realm...
It’s just that his pawn, the sequence one he can completely control, needs time to grow.
Moreover, he fears that the demon lord might shake off the natural burden of the Demon Realm, becoming unrestrained, and then, the barefoot wouldn’t fear the one in shoes, directly seeking the Heavenly Gifted Stone for fusion.
Still, the same statement applies: the sovereign does not need to gamble on that seventy percent success rate!
“In fact, there’s another way…”
“What way?”
“If you can take my position and prolong the existence of the Demon Realm, I could self-destruct and leave the Heavenly Gifted Stone to you, what’s the harm in that?”
“Alright, I agree!”
“No, you won’t!”
“Ke ke ke ke… You really understand me… How could I possibly take over this mess of yours? If it weren’t for insurance, I would have long…”
“Long what?”
“Long….”
“Long since barged in here, snatched half of my Heavenly Gifted Stone, obtained the full authority of the Divine Stone, and become the only true god of this world? Right?”
“…”
“Is this really that important?”
Upon hearing this, the sovereign instead laughed...
“You seem to have forgotten how you spoke to me back in the Mill Great World!”
“Hand over the Divine Stone, spare my life? That’s right, isn’t it…”
“We’re all cut from the same cloth. Now that you’re down, you come to me with such words? Is this really amusing?”
Faced with the sovereign's retort, the demon lord was immediately left speechless.
All of this had nothing to do with morals, ideals, or persistence… and other positive traits.
…
“What’s the demon lord’s situation?”
Wen Yu furrowed his brows as he looked at Lin Haifeng, seemingly not understanding how the current situation related to the demon lord.
“This isn’t reflected in the data, but rather summarized based on your past experiences. I’ve found something interesting.”
“You’re different from Tang Haofei…”
“I’ve known that for a long time. He’s the genuine main character, while I’m just an unexpected product. In fact, I’ve always struggled to understand why I was chosen by the demon lord. Look, in my previous life, my strength was truly pitiful, and coupled with my lack of experience, as for personality, to put it bluntly, in the apocalypse, anyone who lived longer than me generally had a short temper with a bit of decisiveness in killing.”
“My rebirth, it now seems, was just an accident…”
Wen Yu self-deprecatingly said, but didn’t expect Lin Haifeng to immediately respond to his inference.
“That’s right, your rebirth was indeed an accident…”
Wen Yu was taken aback.
“The demon lord took advantage… When he used the sovereign and the earth's will to resurrect Tang Haofei, he forcibly shoved you into the army of reborn persons. Honestly, to say it bluntly, if the demon lord had chosen me, I would have become a reborn person. With just twenty years of apocalypse experience like Tang Haofei, everything in this world would have long been different. To be honest, you really lack the qualifications for this spot of rebirth.”
This comment was indeed somewhat hard to swallow…
However, Wen Yu couldn’t argue with a dead person, and besides, Lin Haifeng was right.
If the demon lord had reborn as Lin Haifeng, how would this world be now?
It might be a hundred times better than it is now… and Lin Haifeng's individual combat power probably wouldn’t be inferior to Wen Yu’s current abilities.
After all, the rebirth ability is just too significant.
“So, do you know why the demon lord chose you?”
Lin Haifeng asked again, and Wen Yu could only shake his head.
“No idea.”
“Because he didn’t choose at all… You were just randomly drawn out, a lucky person hit by the gift package…”
…
Silence lasted for an unknown period.
Until, in the void, a sigh echoed, and the sovereign spoke.
“Wen Yu…”
“I just went through everything on Earth in my head and found something off.”
