Chapter 447: Chapter 352 Threshold with Credentials_1

"What’s wrong with you two?" After returning to Qi Family Town, Zheng Yichen immediately asked, noticing that the two young girls seemed somewhat off in their expressions.

"Uh, Brother Chang Qing, there have been some incidents with my research." Lin Yaoyao briefly mentioned the matter of the two mutated alien demons, and Zheng Yichen, after hearing about it, felt a bit, well, that there were such details between the two alien demons?

Normally, it wouldn’t be a big deal to clean up other species, but having seen the evolution in the Dusk Territory, Zheng Yichen knew that simply cleaning them up might not change anything. On the contrary...

"You want to try something else?" Lin Yaoyao’s eyes were wide open: "Those alien demons are already troublesome enough, aren’t other attempts a bit risky?"

The number of alien demons regaining their intelligence was increasing. If the alien demons appeared smarter, wouldn’t that mean future encounters would be even more troublesome?

"But some trends are already appearing. I’ve seen a Dusk maidservant among the alien demons in the Dusk Territory. Although there’s only one now, there will be more in the future."

"Yi Nan’s prediction really happened, huh." Qi Xiangyun was silent for a moment before saying, "Brother Chang Qing, do you mean that instead of letting some things change uncontrollably, we should try to make some changes more controllable?"

"Right, even if we leave the alien demons alone, they will gradually become more intelligent. So why not make some of them more like humans?"

The complete annihilation of the alien demons was no longer possible. Zheng Yichen didn’t have that much time. Rather, it was the alien demon Shao Heng, mentioned by Lin Yaoyao and Qi Xiangyun, that gave Zheng Yichen this idea—to favor those more akin to humans. Since some trends couldn’t be changed...

It would be better to make the alien demons more human-like. Controlled changes were always better than wild growth. As for the inevitable war that might happen between humans and alien demons in the future, Zheng Yichen expressed he would intervene.

This wasn’t some melodramatic scene. Should such a thing occur, he would definitely stand on the side of the human race in this world.

Alien demons might have once been human, but now they were no longer considered as such.

"Making them more inclined to be human at least allows us to use human morals to restrain them sometimes."

"I don’t think alien demons possess such self-awareness," Liu Hongzhao immediately countered after hearing Zheng Yichen’s words: "War will happen sooner or later."

Humans wouldn’t readily accept alien demons, and even if alien demons fully developed intelligence and leaned towards humans, they were still not human. Even if their concepts were very similar, the differences between species would result in continuous accumulation of conflicts, and friction would inevitably arise.

"Is war really unavoidable?" Lin Yaoyao felt distressed.

"At least one battle has to be fought before we can think things through," Zheng Yichen said, knowing that the war between species wasn’t so easily avoided.

With humans weaker, and alien demons scattered across the land, would alien demons peacefully coexist while human forces were weak? Humans would also fear that once they were vulnerable, alien demons would completely annihilate them.

Even if some alien demons thought of coexisting peacefully, if racial issues were not resolved, war would eventually arrive. Besides, with the sheer number of alien demons, wouldn’t there be ambitious and capable individuals emerging after gaining intelligence?

Just look at the situation in the world now: In Hell, the servants of the Supreme Demon fight each other in attempts to claim the throne, whereas in the Mortal Realm, they aspire to conquer the world—even as humans are close to extinction.

Even if alien demons are aware of the ’nuclear weapons’-like powerhouses of the human race, they may not believe it and would rather test it first—those grand claims, who knows how true they are? What if it’s just a bluff by humans?

Beings who aspire to great things and have ambitions lack neither the spirit of adventure.

Zheng Yichen said, "When the time comes, we just need to kill a batch, but as much as we should kill, we must also avoid certain issues to prevent exploitation by others."

Bullies are not in short supply, and when a war is caused by alien demons, eliminating them is certainly the right move. However, it is also necessary to prevent exploitation by their own kind, or else even if the war is settled, new conflicts will rapidly accumulate in a short time.

Qi Xiangyun and the others didn’t want a racial war, mainly because at this time, they really had no ill feelings towards alien demons—who were after all human progenitors and victims of the native world.

But if alien demons initiated a war, then they could take action without any reason or psychological burden. However, if the situation were reversed..., their mindset would undergo some changes.

"Just kill all those people as well."

"Then you might as well become the queen," Lin Yaoyao couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Liu Hongzhao very decisively said, "I don’t want to!"

"If she became the queen, so many people would have to die." Qi Xiangyun couldn’t help but smile. With Liu Hongzhao’s ferocity, if she really became a ruler, her subordinates would likely often die off in numbers, and enemies even more so.

"Let’s go. First, let’s check on that alien demon and conduct some Necromancy."

Upon mention of Necromancy, the smile on Lin Yaoyao’s face vanished, and she nodded silently. She said, "I will research the intelligence awakening issue in alien demons and determine what differences there are between their normal awakenings and the situation like that of the alien demon Shao Heng."

According to what she knew so far, there were differences—regardless of whether Shao Heng’s behavior was an act, he behaved much more stably than those who awakened naturally.

Liu Hongzhao added, "Don’t forget some of my findings, some alien demons’ awakening to intelligence is also related to the Supreme Demon. It’s not excluded that in the future, alien demons will split into many tribes, each worshipping different Supreme Demons."
