"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Annihilate these flies!"
"Boom!!!"
The explosion and wailing echoed endlessly in his mind.
This is a dream...
But even knowing it was a dream, Tang Haofei couldn't escape this state—just like being pressed by a ghost, his consciousness was clearly awake, but his body was completely out of control.
Fuzzy images kept flashing through Tang Haofei's mind.
It wasn't just the recent battle and the loneliness between life and death, but much more...
Nightmares from his past life, comrades from his previous life, the smooth sailing of this life, as well as the current supremacy and power in his hands...
The scenes changed one after another, then froze on another face.
Neatly dressed in military uniform, white hair mixed with black, a resolute face, and piercing eyes...
"Tang Haofei..."
"I want to know your attitude. Do you have more of a human attribute or more of a divine beast species attribute?"
"Then... for humanity... the Sea King control plan is imperative..."
"What's wrong? Will you kill me?"
The scene of his previous discussion with Lin Haifeng kept flashing through his mind, and for Tang Haofei, it was a complete nightmare!
The entanglement of ideals and reality, the conflict between principles and goals...
Looking at himself trembling across from Lin Haifeng, Tang Haofei seemed to return to that moment when he was forced by Lin Haifeng to make a choice that went against his heart...
A sudden thought flashed by.
"What if I kill Lin Haifeng in advance? What would happen? If I grasp the power of the human race in my hands, what would happen?"
In the next second, Tang Haofei's consciousness fluctuated violently, and the nightmare suddenly awakened!
...
"Hu... Hu..."
Gasping for breath, everything in the dream gradually faded and blurred, yet the conversation with Lin Haifeng still lingered in his heart.
"Damn it..."
Tang Haofei mocked himself, then vigorously shook his head.
The dream was just a dream. Tang Haofei deeply understood his identity—harsh as it was, he was just a martial artist, and he could only be a mere martial artist!
As for the highest leader of the human race, only Lin Haifeng had the ability to sit in that position!
This had nothing to do with strength—a great leader is not necessarily the strongest one, but rather the one with the strongest overall ability, the highest prestige, the wisest judgment of the general trend, and the most excellent ability to identify and use people!
Even though Tang Haofei had many complaints about Lin Haifeng during their long-term contact, he had to admit that Lin Haifeng was indeed the only person qualified to sit in that position!
The dryness in his mouth kept rising, and Tang Haofei barely crawled out of bed, forcefully patting his cheeks.
The sting on his face slightly brought Tang Haofei back to awareness. Sensing the swelling in his mind, he picked up the cup from the table and drank it all—here, the attendants were quite diligent, with snacks and drinks fully provided in the room.
The cold liquid slid down his throat, and Tang Haofei let out a comfortable breath—ever since his five rebirths, his state had been very poor, a situation Tang Haofei attributed to fatigue—at least, that was the only explanation in his heart.
Sleepiness surged in waves. After finishing the water, Tang Haofei dove back into bed.
His consciousness began to blur, dreams gradually emerged, and soon, Tang Haofei vaguely saw the figure in the dungeon.
"Is my death of any value?"
Xie Yan, a pawn and subordinate of Lin Haifeng, who was ruthlessly sacrificed to commit suicide in the Sea King control plan, asked with a blank expression.
"Yes..."
It was still the same answer from before, but Xie Yan slowly raised his head.
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Xie Yan's mouth.
"No! My death is of no value!"
Tang Haofei was suddenly taken aback...
"Why is there a Sea King control plan? Why does Lin Haifeng sacrifice loyal subordinates like us! Why can't we see the sun of tomorrow! Why! Why!!!"
