Balance… For so many years, what she has been pursuing is balance.

According to this, the one who truly spared the Human World and allowed humanity in this era to survive and develop is, in fact, her.

It is indeed somewhat laughable and inconceivable when you put it that way.

But that is the truth.

Lin Moyu has confirmed all these matters through Antares.

The enemy that the Human World hates the most is, ironically, the person behind the scenes who gave them room to survive…

"It really is ironic!"

Lin Moyu knew he could not speak of this; if he did, he doubted anyone would believe him.

He realized that the position he stood in was different, the things he saw had changed, and his way of thinking was different from before.

He once thought the Demon Worshipping Society was a major tumor within the Human World, and if not eradicated, it would cause great trouble.

Now it seemed that the Demon Worshipping Society was nothing; it couldn't affect the balance between the two sides, let alone shake the foundations of the Human World.

The Demon Worshipping Society was like a bedbug—it looked smelly and dirty, but that was all it was.

In the eyes of Lillian, the Demon Empress, it was even more so; it was a toy that could be discarded at any time. Thus, before the cooperation even began, she had already discarded the Demon Worshipping Society to show her sincerity.

After standing at a different height to view problems, Lin Moyu found that his heart had hardened.

He had to make a choice: continue to fight the demons to the death for the sake of the past hatred of the Human World, or cooperate with the demons for the sake of a peaceful life for the future of the Human World.

This matter required a decision, and it was a decision to be made by only a few people.

There was no need to tell too many people; it would be useless.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Moyu left the Ancient Battlefield, returned to the Human World, and went back to the White God Courtyard.

As these days passed, the Human World had settled down and returned to its usual appearance.

The atmosphere of peace accumulated over hundreds of years had returned after a period of tension.

After being busy for several days, Meng Anwen, Bai Yiyuan, and the others finally had some free time.

At this moment, they, along with Yan Kuangsheng, were drinking tea in the courtyard.

As for the suicide incident from half a day ago, it actually involved very few people in the Shenxia Empire.

The nearly ten thousand suicides were mainly concentrated in other factions and countries.

After all, the last great purge had already cleared out a large number of members of the Demon Worshipping Society.

As soon as Lin Moyu returned, Meng Anwen spoke up, "Lin Moyu, the investigation is complete. The people who committed suicide half a day ago were indeed all members of the Demon Worshipping Society."

"They were hidden very deeply and were missed during the last great purge."

Bai Yiyuan also said in a low voice, "I didn't expect the Demon Worshipping Society to be hidden so deeply. These people were all sleeper agents; they never acted, so we couldn't detect them."

Yan Kuangsheng chuckled and retorted to Bai Yiyuan, "Just admit you were blind, don't blame it on 'sleeper agents'."

Bai Yiyuan snorted twice and glared at Yan Kuangsheng, but this time, surprisingly, he held back and didn't retort.

Meng Anwen asked, "Lin Moyu, you left in such a hurry, was there something else?"

Lin Moyu sat down, poured tea for the three of them, and poured himself a cup. "I discussed some things with Lillian."

The three of them were stunned for a moment. Who was Lillian?

They had never heard this name before.

This name did not seem to have appeared in the historical records of the Human World.

Lin Moyu realized this and said casually, "Lillian is the Demon Empress."

The three were shocked. Bai Yiyuan even spat out the tea in his mouth, spraying it all over Yan Kuangsheng's face. He turned pale, "You went to see the Demon Empress?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes, and I even went to the Demon Empress Palace."

And even went to the Demon Empress Palace…

Lin Moyu's casual remark made the three of them feel a chill run down their spines.

Going to the Abyss was scary enough, but he even went to the Demon Empress Palace.

And after going there, he returned safely.

The three looked at each other; they finally realized that their disciple seemed to have reached a height they could not reach.

The only one in the Human World qualified to speak on equal terms with Antares was Lin Moyu.

The only person in the history of the Human World who could go to the Demon Empress Palace and return unscathed was Lin Moyu.

Meng Anwen took a deep breath to steady himself, "What did you discuss with the Demon Empress?"

Lin Moyu said slowly, "The Demon Empress wants to cooperate with me…"

Lin Moyu recounted the matter of the Demon Empress wanting to cooperate with him.

However, Lin Moyu did not express his own thoughts on the matter, fearing that his opinion might influence the judgment of Meng Anwen and the others.

As he spoke, the expressions on the faces of Meng Anwen and the others were colorful.

They felt as if they were listening to a bizarre myth; it was hard to imagine that the history of the Human World had such huge errors.

Lin Moyu knew that even without external interference, history would inevitably have errors.

What's more, behind the entire Human World, there existed such a person behind the scenes.

After a long while, Meng Anwen let out a long sigh, "When I was studying the history of the Human World back then, I did feel that something was not quite right."

"A thousand years ago, the Human World was not strong; it was the weakest of the three races. Especially after expelling the Dragon Race, the Human World had to face the Abyssal Demons alone, and it could be said there was zero chance of winning."

"At that time, the Abyssal Demons had the opportunity to destroy us, but they didn't."

"Historical records also wrote about the mysterious deaths of several Demon Kings, suspecting there were hidden powerhouses among the humans. I didn't expect it to actually be the Demon Empress…"

Lin Moyu's words had completely overturned the three men's understanding of the history of the Human World.

Because of Antares's existence, they all knew that what Lin Moyu said must be correct.

Antares had been here for who knows how long; it could be said that it witnessed all the rise and fall of the Human World in this era.

History could be wrong, but Antares would not be.

Bai Yiyuan said, "So, in fact, the Demon Empress even did a favor for our Human World?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Although she had her own goals, she did, in fact, do a favor for our Human World."

Meng Anwen said, "According to what she said, the consciousness of the Abyssal Demons is to bring destruction, and she cannot openly stop other Abyssal Demons. To maintain balance, she could only choose this method."

"The fact is that it gave the Human World time to breathe and develop, and her hands were not stained with the blood of the Human World."

"I think this cooperation is feasible."

Chapter 725: One Must Not Return Kindness with Enmity

Trade-offs…

Lin Moyu had actually already made a decision; he could even make the decision on behalf of the entire Human World.

But he still left the power of decision to Meng Anwen and the other two.

After all, they were currently the highest-level and highest-status people in the Human World.

He believed they would make the right choice.

Sure enough, Meng Anwen soon made his choice.

He chose to cooperate with the Demon Empress.

Bai Yiyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at Meng Anwen, "You mean, we should let go of all the past hatred?"

Among the three, the one who fought the Abyssal Demons the hardest was Bai Yiyuan.

And the one with the deepest hatred was also Bai Yiyuan.

Bai Yiyuan's brain wasn't as sharp as Meng Anwen's, and his analysis of things wasn't as calm and rational as Meng Anwen's, so for a moment, he couldn't accept it.

Meng Anwen looked at Bai Yiyuan, "What are our efforts for?"

Bai Yiyuan gave a light snort, "Needless to say, it's to fight for a place for the Human World, to beat the demons so they dare not come to our Human World to run wild."

Meng Anwen said, "If Lin Moyu's cooperation with the Demon Empress can be successfully implemented, then in the future, there will be no more Abyssal Demons, nor will there be any Dragon Race."

"There will be no more great wars, no more sacrifices. Isn't such a thing a good thing?"

Bai Yiyuan's tiger-like body trembled, slightly agitated, "What about the Demon Empress!"

Before Meng Anwen could speak, Yan Kuangsheng had already opened his mouth, "You stone-headed fool, why can't you figure this out? If the Abyssal Demons are gone, where would there be any Demon Empress?"

Meng Anwen said softly, "Historically speaking, the Demon Empress has actually done quite a few things for our Human World. Although she had selfish motives, she did do them, and we must acknowledge that."

Lin Moyu nodded, "That is indeed the case. If not for the Demon Empress, our Human World would be in a completely different situation."

Bai Yiyuan still couldn't fully accept it, but he stopped speaking.

Meng Anwen glanced at him and said to Lin Moyu, "Don't mind him; he will figure it out. His brain turns slowly and needs time."

Lin Moyu couldn't help but be amused; it seemed that was indeed the case.

The first time he met Bai Yiyuan, he felt he was unfathomable, but Lin Moyu later discovered he had been fooled.

Meng Anwen murmured, "But I still don't quite understand. The Demon Empress wants to maintain balance, and there are actually many ways to do so. Why did she choose to stand on the side of our Human World?"

Lin Moyu said in a low voice, "Because she has half-human blood."

As soon as these words were spoken, Meng Anwen's expression completely froze.

Bai Yiyuan even jumped up, and the sturdy stool beneath him shattered into powder with a bang.

Yan Kuangsheng also looked incredulous, "That's impossible, right?"

After a brief shock, Meng Anwen suddenly realized something and asked urgently, "Lin Moyu, the human bloodline you mentioned—it's not from our world, is it?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "No, it isn't."

Bai Yiyuan and Yan Kuangsheng seemed to have heard something incredible; they looked at Lin Moyu and then at Meng Anwen.

Yan Kuangsheng asked, "Old Meng, do you know something?"

Meng Anwen said in a low voice, "Don't be anxious; I will tell you about this in a moment."

Regarding the various information about the world, Lin Moyu had only told Meng Anwen.

Meng Anwen had strong energy contact and a flexible mind; he understood as soon as it was explained.

Bai Yiyuan and Yan Kuangsheng needed some time to accept it.

Meng Anwen ignored the two confused men, "In that case, it makes sense. If the plan succeeds, did she say what she intends to do?"

Lin Moyu said, "Lillian didn't say, but I think she will hide and wait for an opportunity to leave this world."

"In the Fragment World, her upper limit is Half-step Super God; she cannot improve further."

"There is a soul imprint of him in the Fragment World. It's useless for her to leave now; she will still be found."

Meng Anwen could understand Lin Moyu's words. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could roughly guess it.

Meng Anwen suddenly thought of something, "Soul imprint… I recall something. The method of planting soul imprints seems to have appeared in the Human World only a thousand years ago."

"And it was precisely because of this method that our Human World avoided a lot of damage."

"Could this method also be her…"

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes, it was she who gave it to us."

Hiss!

Meng Anwen said in a deep voice, "There is no need to discuss this matter further; let us proceed according to her plan."

Meng Anwen's words settled the matter.

Lin Moyu had basically guessed this would be the result, "I understand. Aside from us, let's not tell anyone else about this matter."

"Of course, they aren't qualified to know."

Meng Anwen also understood that the more people who knew, the more troublesome it would actually be.
