Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1824

1824 Breaking Free from Control

“That’s right, you know me best. I don’t think that the current ideology and ethics of Dragon City’s civilization, which originated from Earth, can last for long. To put it bluntly, this is a world with gods, and humans can become gods through cultivation. In such a world where gods and demons can descend, everyone is equal. This is not in line with objective reality, and it will be eliminated sooner or later. My grandfather convinced me of this long ago,” Lu Siya said.

“However, the biggest difference between me and my grandfather is that I don’t have the ‘martyr’ temperament that he has. I’m not willing to sacrifice myself to be someone else’s stepping stone.

“My grandfather wanted to shatter the old morals, old laws, and old humanity that originated from the Earth era, and then build a new world that was crueler and more powerful, with superhumans as the rulers.

“That’s why he rebuilt the Blood Alliance and gathered his accomplices in secret at the risk of losing everything.

!!
“I, on the other hand, believe that the ethics, morals, and ideologies from Earth have been passed on for a thousand years and they are deeply rooted in people’s hearts. They cannot be easily shaken by a mere Blood Alliance overnight.

“Even if my grandfather had hidden his minions, worked hard for decades, and recruited the middle-aged Deity Realm warriors like Yun Feidian, and extended the Blood Alliance’s hands to all walks of life in Dragon City, when they actually surfaced and revealed their true intentions, there was a high chance that they would still be defeated and extinguished by the old forces that upheld the ethics, morals, and ideology of the Earth era.

“Even if the Blood Alliance’s scheme managed to shake the foundation of the old morals and humanity, my grandfather and the Blood Alliance that he had been running with great effort would have likely been the first to be sacrificed.

“Ultimately, had the old morals and humanity fallen apart, and the civilization of mankind been reborn in fire with a completely different look, the one who controlled the new civilization would not have been my grandfather or any other member of the Blood Alliance.

“My grandfather didn’t mind helping others. To him, as long as human civilization could continue, it didn’t matter who was in charge. It didn’t matter if it was Lu Zhongqi, Yun Feidian, or you, Meng Chao.

“But I haven’t lived to the level of my grandfather’s open-mindedness. How could I be the pawn and paving stone for the chosen one who would control a new Dragon City civilization in the near future?

“Last but not least, the children of the noble families like us all knew that we shouldn’t put all our eggs in one basket. With Yun Feidian’s help, grandfather already had enough people. Of course, I had to place my bets separately and stand on the opposite side of my grandfather. In such a way, whether or not the Blood Alliance was destroyed, the Lu family, at least a part of the Lu family, would be safe!”

Lu Siya’s honesty made many of the questions that Meng Chao had been thinking about come to nothing.

He thought about it for a long time before saying, “So, you got someone to interview Shen Yulin because…”

“I wanted to break free from my grandfather’s control,” Lu Siya said bluntly.

“I could feel that with the victory in the Monster War, the Blood Alliance was becoming more and more active and reckless. I thought it wouldn’t be long before the Blood Alliance completely revealed itself. If I couldn’t distance myself from the Blood Alliance and my grandfather before that day came, there was a high chance that I’d be buried with the Blood Alliance.

“It just so happened that I had used my identity to gain access some inside information about the Red Creek Project. The first Red Creek crystal mine that the Dragon City civilization developed outside Monster Mountain Range, which is said to have an astonishing amount of crystals, had a huge black hole in the accounts due to fraud, poor management-and other reasons.

“Tremendous crystals and resources were flowing into the Blood Alliance’s secret funds through a black hole, providing sufficient materials for its rapid development.

“Since the Red Creek Project was jointly developed by Universe Corporation and Sky Pillar Corporation, there were financial problems with both groups.

“I just wanted to use Shen Yulin’s interview as a warning and expose their shady ongoings.

“I didn’t expect that this method alone would expose and dissolve the Blood Alliance.

“However, I thought that the scandal of the Red Creek Project could more or less distract my grandfather and mislead him into thinking that a secret force that was anti-Blood Alliance existed in secret.

“As long as he could shift his attention to the scandal of the Red Creek Project, he’d more or less be able to relax his surveillance on me. I’d have more room to move around and continue planning my next move.

“Who knew that the plan could not keep up with the changes? During the implementation of the plan, two changes caught me off guard.

“First of all, I didn’t expect my grandfather to be so insane that he was prepared to clear the hole in the accounts through a self-directed explosion of the crystal warehouse and instigate a war against Picturesque Orchid Lake.

“It seemed that my grandfather had made up his mind to further enhance the military strength of the Blood Alliance hidden within the nine great families through this war led by the nine mega corporations. He wanted to remove all obstacles for the Blood Alliance to officially step to the top of Dragon City.

“Second, I didn’t expect you to return to Dragon City at this time and play such a key role.

“As a result, the simple plan that was supposed to be ‘alarming’ was naturally upgraded to what it is today.”

Meng Chao nodded and said after some thought, “When did you notice that I returned to Dragon City?”

“Would you believe it if I said I sensed it the moment you returned to Dragon City?”

Lu Siya stared at Meng Chao and said, “Although we haven’t heard from each other for more than a year, I never believed that you died in the fish’s stomach. Don’t forget that we were baptized by the Red Radiance Jade tide together and were reborn together in the Blue Origin Stone mine. There’s a mysterious telepathic connection between us, and in the past year, I’ve never felt it completely cut off, not even for a second.

“And on the day you flew over Monster Mountain Range and returned to Dragon City, this mysterious telepathy was elevated to an extreme level.

“I don’t know how to describe how I felt at that time. In short, when I got up that day, my mood was inexplicably better. I felt that the haze that had been bothering me for a long time had been swept away. It was clearly raining outside the window, but my vision could penetrate the dark clouds and fly into the blue sky.

“You could say that I still didn’t realize why I was in such a good mood at this point. But when I saw the detailed report about the accident at the Red Creek Project, especially the strange changes that were vaguely mentioned in the report, I immediately realized that it was all your doing!”
