Rebirth, does it count as a leverage for both sides?
In Wen Yu's eyes, it certainly does. It is the greatest secret shared between them—after all, there is no secret more important than rebirth!
The influence a reborn person can wield is obvious, and for the current greatest enemies of the human race— the sovereign and the demonic clan—reborn individuals could very well be an unforeseen variable, especially for the sovereign!
Under such circumstances, the fact that Wen Yu and Tang Haofei are both reborn must be strictly kept under wraps by both parties!
And that is the foundation of their cooperation!
“Then, may our cooperation be pleasant!”
Tang Haofei extended his right hand.
“May our cooperation be pleasant!”
The two hands clasped together, symbolizing the alliance of two reborn individuals and representing a consensus reached by the highest military force in this world!
When Tang Haofei left, he tossed a communicator to Wen Yu.
With this communicator, he could connect directly with Tang Haofei.
After seeing Tang Haofei off, Wen Yu sat in his chair, incessantly contemplating the contents of their earlier conversation. After a while, he let out a soft sigh...
The situation for humanity is far more severe than Wen Yu had imagined!
Although Wen Yu had anticipated the sovereign's ill intentions towards the human race, he did not expect the sovereign to be so ruthless—treating the entire Earth as a pig farm!
Moreover, what is even more terrifying is that the human race currently has to rely on the occupational system provided by the sovereign to counter the demonic clan—this is akin to drinking poison to quench thirst! And there is no way to avoid it!
From what Tang Haofei just said, Wen Yu could also deduce something else.
If the sovereign's goal is the magic crystal within the minds of the human race, while the demonic clan's goal is the Earth's core origin, then strictly speaking there is no major conflict between the two. Both parties could completely cooperate to divide the resources on Earth!
Once this scenario becomes a reality, humanity, or rather Earth, will have no capital for resistance!
The situation has developed to this point, it is no longer under anyone's control; humanity's fate is entirely in the hands of the relationship between the sovereign and the demonic clan, and that is the most desolate aspect.
Wen Yu forced himself to drink a little beverage, suppressing the despair that surged from deep within.
Regardless, the world continues to turn, and Wen Yu, even for the sake of his own life, cannot ignore the facts!
Issues regarding the sovereign can be set aside for now; there is currently no solution to that problem. The most pressing issue is the imminent demonic disaster!
With that thought, Wen Yu put down his cup and walked straight towards the door.
“Knock, knock, knock...”
A crisp knocking sound resonated, followed by a “creak” as the door opened, revealing Yang Hong's face peeking from behind.
“Come in, come in, there’s been a situation.”
“Oh? What situation?”
Wen Yu raised an eyebrow as he stepped into Yang Hong's room.
Yang Hong pointed at another person in the living room and gave Wen Yu a wry smile, saying, “Just see for yourself.”
“So, you want to join me?”
Looking at the old man in tattered dao robes, who was picking his nose, Wen Yu sighed lightly.
Although he indeed had plans to establish a Lone Walker organization, he did not expect someone to come knocking before he could announce it.
The old daoist priest nodded, “That's right. Are you going to recruit people?”
Seeing the old man's seemingly probing yet certain tone, Wen Yu answered confidently, “Of course, why wouldn’t I?”
“Good! Then I’ll help you!”
This surprised Wen Yu a bit, “Help me with what?”
“Help you establish the organization quickly. Otherwise, having just a few individuals around won't lend any legitimacy!”
The old daoist priest replied decisively.
But Wen Yu was full of doubts; it was no wonder he was suspicious, as this world was just too treacherous!
