Chapter 1723: Even More Ambitious

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“In this world, the saddest thing is not to be used, but to not even have the value of being used.”

The seven puppets did not deny their conspiracy. They smiled and said, “Besides, using is mutual. When we use you, won’t you use us as well?

“As long as you are willing to nod your head, you and I will be tightly bound together. So-called weaknesses and stains on your record are just a bond of interest between us. Don’t you think that such a collaboration is more solid?”

“That’s the problem.”

Lu Siya remained unmoved and cold. “You’re right. Of course, I have my own ambitions, and my ambitions are far greater than you can imagine.

“I hope to seize supreme power in Dragon City with my own hands, instead of relying on anyone’s charity and becoming a puppet sitting on the highest throne.

“I hope that Dragon City can completely carry out my will and not be constrained by our inexplicable grouping after I ascend to the highest throne.

“More importantly, I hope that all the citizens of Dragon City trust me, respect me, worship me, and obey me from the bottom of their hearts, not just in the next hundred years, not just when I’m still alive, but in all of Dragon City’s history in the future.

“That means I won’t allow even the slightest flaw to appear in my plan.

“I must ascend to Dragon City’s highest throne in an upright and perfect way. It’s the only way I can become the future of Dragon City, or at least an important part of it down the road, and the person that people think of whenever they mention Dragon City’s civilization.

“Once I choose a relatively easy path and choose to become one of your faces, first of all, I will no longer be able to carry out 100% of my will. Second of all, I will have to deal with your endless requests all day long. I will have to rack my brains to think about how to scheme against you. Third of all, paper cannot cover fire. Even if your power can temporarily cover the sky with one hand, time will always open, change and destroy many things. When your power gradually declines and your organization vanishes, the truth will surface.

“At that time, I would have gained such a high prestige, but I’ll also earn a dirty name; countless citizens of Dragon City who once worshipped and followed me from the bottom of their hearts will despise and hate me from their core; in Dragon City’s glorious history in the future, I’ll become a clown, a demon, an existence that’s even more despicable than a monster—although a monster is fierce, it would never become a lackey, wouldn’t it?”

“You’re worrying too much,” the seven puppets said.

“History is created by the victors. Ordinary people are no different from fish. They only have seven seconds of memory at most. We can mold the thin layer of so-called ‘truth’ on their cerebral cortex as we wish, just like molding plasticine.

“Don’t worry. When we truly have complete control over Dragon City, we will naturally think of all ways to change everything in the past.

“Not only will you become Dragon City’s current hero, but you will also be the greatest contributor to winning the Monster War. Believe me, it won’t be long before people completely forget the name ‘Meng Chao.’ All of Meng Chao’s contributions, in addition to those who don’t belong to us, will be transferred to you. Magnify it ten times more, and we will create a god and a goddess of war!

“As long as we are smart enough and not too greedy, we can always recruit enough people to join our ranks and form an unbreakable interest group. When the time comes, even if our nominal organization really collapses and disappears, ‘we’ will never be destroyed.

“No one will dig up the past for the sake of ‘our’ overall interest. No one will refute what has been recorded in glorious history. No one will dare to break open the battle goddess’ golden statue and find out what is underneath. You will always be the greatest heroine, warrior, and goddess of war in Dragon City!”

The voices of the seven puppets resonated in unison.

It was like a raging storm that reverberated in the small surveillance center.

This “storm” tried to extend the cable and wireless information transmission channels through the surveillance center to the entire aerial fortress. It continued to expand and upgrade until it finally turned into a golden roc that covered the sky and engulfed Dragon City.

Lu Siya rolled her eyes.

“The winner writes history?” she asked hesitantly.

“Yes, the winner writes history,” the seven puppets answered concurrently with a smile on their faces.

“This is the last and biggest problem.”

Lu Siya sighed in annoyance. However, there was a hint of mockery in her eyes when she looked at the seven puppets. “The problem is that I don’t think you have the slightest chance of becoming the winner. I’ve always disliked standing on the losing side.”

The smiles on the seven puppets froze. “What did you say?”

“The Bright Light’s explosion, the assassination attempt on Shen Yuanbao, the explosion of the Red Creek Project’s crystal warehouse outside Monster Mountain Range, the instigation of the citizens to attack Universe Corporation’s headquarters, and of course, the fact that you kidnapped me here in such a sneaky way shows that you’ve played too many conspiracies.”

Lu Siya said, “I don’t like conspiracies.

“It’s not that I’m morally allergic to it, or that I’m too afraid to sacrifice a lot when necessary.

“However, conspiracies are inherently weapons for the weak. Just like when two armies are fighting, the so-called ‘surprise attack’ often comes from the weaker side.

“If you are as ‘omnipresent and omnipotent’ as you boast, you don’t face any risk of being stopped and exposed. Hence, there’s no reason for you to commit such crimes that break the bottom line or even destroy humanity. All you need to do is to crush them in a fair and square way by legal means.

“I’m guessing that not only have you not grasped the power of the entire Dragon City, but you haven’t even fully grasped the nine mega corporations. There are still a lot of people who oppose you in the nine major cultivation families.

“My point is also reflected in the many plots that you have played.

“Logically speaking, if you have to drum up conspiracy, it’s best to play it once and use it to establish an absolute advantage. Then, the rest should be a matter of course.

“Serial conspiracies that are as precise as a clock only exist in novels and movies. In the real world, the more links there are, the more likely it is to collapse and be exposed.

“Therefore, you’ve put so many conspiracies into play at the same time because either your IQ is too low, or your first conspiracy didn’t succeed. You encountered some accidents and exposed yourself, causing the situation to gradually become… out of control!”
