Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1925

Chapter 1925 Wearing A Royal Robe

Meng Chao was silent for a long time.

“To be honest, I never thought that the future would turn out like this. I’m not sure if a civilization that is forever dominated by one family is the bright and beautiful civilization that I want to see.”

“In this matter, your personal wishes are not important,” Lu Siya said calmly. “As the saying goes, if you don’t take what the heavens give you, you will suffer. Since you have the strength to wear the royal robe, it’s no longer up to you to accept or decline this responsibility.”

Meng Chao snorted coldly. “What if I insist on not being the so-called First Citizen?” he asked coldly.

!!
“Then you’re doing something self-destructive that will also hurt your loved ones.”

Lu Siya’s voice became sharp and stern. “Let’s get one thing clear. The elite soldiers under you are not willing to risk the world’s condemnation and put the yellow robe on you because of their loyalty and respect for you.

“The reason why they are willing to play this game of being crowned with the royal robe is because you can bring them more benefits after you are crowned with the royal robe.

“It’s your freedom to play the role of a loyal minister who has never lost his integrity. However, if you don’t become the First Citizen or even the Emperor of Chaos instead, how can you improve with so many elite soldiers under your command?

“Get your head straight. Do not think that your refusal will increase the loyalty and respect of all your trusted subordinates. No, you will only disappoint everyone who loves you, follows you, and is willing to sacrifice their lives for you, including Xinghe!

“As for those who hate you and have conflicts of interest with you, do you think that they will change their attitude toward you just because you rejected the offer of the royal robe?

“Don’t be naive. As long as you still have the strength to wear the royal robe, your enemies will not be able to sleep. They will scheme and stop you, attack you, and slander you.

“Unless they see your head fall to the ground with their own eyes, they will not be able to close their eyes!”

Meng Chao pondered.

Lu Siya was right. The path of cultivation was like a boat sailing against the current. If one did not advance, one would retreat.

Commanding an entire civilization was even more so. The winner was king and the loser was the bandit. It was lonely at the top and could never stop.

Under his leadership, the Meng family rose from the slums of the past like a supernova. In just thirty years, they developed into the number one family in the Dragon City civilization, and even the number one family in the entire Other World.

In this process, he had experienced countless bloody storms and formed countless blood feuds.

Countless losers in the arena of power were still lurking in the darkness. They were sharpening their knives and preparing to make a comeback at any moment.

Some of them were even lurking around him with smiles on their faces, ready to stab him in the heart at any moment.

Under such circumstances, no matter how noble he was, he was even more indifferent to fame and fortune than the former Battle God, Lei Zongchao.

It was impossible for these enemies to soften their attitudes and submit to his will. No, they would only regard his indifference as stupidity, kindness as weakness, and tolerance as cowardice.

From then on, they would be unscrupulous and continue to strengthen their attacks on him.

On the other hand, his loyal subordinates had forged a golden path leading to the highest throne for him with their blood and even their lives.

He remembered many of their names and how they sacrificed themselves. Of course, there was also the oath he had made as he hugged their riddled corpses when they sacrificed themselves heroically.

Due to the Survival Committee’s current system, the compensation, rewards, and commendations that he could give them were rather limited even though he was the supreme speaker.

The oath that was forged with blood and was still deeply embedded in his bones had not been fully fulfilled.

The d*mned parliament and the d*mned budget… It was as if their sole purpose of existence was to tie his hands and feet and oppose him.

“What about Kanus?” Meng Chao took a deep breath and began to think about the details.

“Kanus and the Turan orcs will never watch me go from Chaos alliance leader to the even more honorable First Citizen or Emperor of Chaos!”

“It’s precisely because of this that we should seize the time and cement our position,” Lu Siya said.

“With our successive victories in the war in the Other World, Doomsday Demon Wolf Kanus has become increasingly unruly. His victory at Dragon Scale Castle, especially, has allowed him to obtain so many profound keys to Holy Light magic. His ambition has become even more obvious. He has proposed several times to change the Survival Committee’s election method in favor of the Turan orcs.

“In my opinion, even if you don’t go further, he won’t always obey your orders.

“According to the intelligence we’ve received in the past few days, the Turan orcs have changed their past triumphant and aggressive attitude. It’s obvious that they’re shrinking their forces on all fronts to preserve their strength. They’re even trying to infiltrate our weak spots.

“Obviously, Doomsday Wolf Kanus is already thinking of ways to turn around and compete with us for the throne after completely defeating the Holy Light faction.

“If you don’t want to see the Dragon City civilization and the Turan civilization go to war, you should ascend to the supreme throne before Kanus completes his preparations for civil war. Then, you should make use of your authority as the First Citizen or even the Emperor of Chaos to write a big check to the powerful warlords of the northern Chaos tribes and even the Turan orcs to win their support.

“No matter what, Kanus is a smart man. As long as we’re fast enough and we create a set reality, Kanus won’t be so stubborn once he realized that things can’t be done his way.

“This is the only way to avoid a civil war in the Chaos faction, isn’t it?”

“…Let me alone.

“I want to think about it,” Meng Chao in frustration.

“Of course, this is a serious matter, and there are indeed extremely high risks involved. No one knows where the future will lead. Chances are that the instigator will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.”

Lu Siya paused for a moment and emphasized, “Speaking of which, as a father, you have to think about your son. If someone has to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, it would be better if that someone was the father instead of the son.

“If the father is nailed, the son might still be able to help the father redeem himself. But if the father shirks his responsibility and causes his son to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history, he’ll be doomed forever, won’t he?

“Alright, take your time to think about it. I’ll ask Xinghe about the Chaos tribes in the north and also about the yellow robe embroidered by Battle God Palace.”
