Chapter 1720 Emotions are merely tools to achieve one's goals!
Seeing that Wu She had taken the bait, Xu Rangxi suppressed his joy and pretended to be calm, saying:
"That's my personal opinion, of course."
"Firstly, it's to repay the guidance you gave me when I was still a chosen one of the gods."
"Secondly, since this situation has little to do with the Xingheng Clan, I did not inform Changshengtian immediately after I learned about it."
"If you are unwilling to accept my suggestion, then I will report the news to the Star Clan management afterwards and let them handle it."
"I see." Wu She narrowed his eyes.
After a moment's thought, he spoke again:
"I will seriously consider your proposal."
"But I hope you can keep this a secret until I decide whether or not to accept it."
“No problem.” Xu Rangxi responded quickly, but then added solemnly:
"Please reply to me as soon as possible."
"I'm not one to dawdle." Wu She's expression returned to its coldness as he strode forward again, heading towards the teleportation array.
This time, they didn't stop.
After the teleportation light went out, only Xu Rangxi, Xuan Qiongzhi, and a few Kro people remained at the scene.
"You all go about your business."
Having confirmed that Wu She had left, Xu Rangxi turned to the Kro people who were still waiting nearby and smiled.
This small gesture planted a seed of goodwill in everyone's hearts.
Xu Rangxi dared to be certain,
If this trend continues, over time, the number of devout believers within the Kro tribe will inevitably decrease, and they will convert to her faith.
The more anchors of faith she has, the more stable her state of mind becomes.
Even if one ascends to the throne of a god and enters a completely unfamiliar divine realm, one will still have enough leverage to maneuver.
As for whether the 'ally' Wushe will collapse due to the lack of a faith anchor?
Then it has nothing to do with her, Xu Rangxi.
Anyway, she didn't openly admit to stealing the anchor of faith.
The loss of the anchor of faith for Wushe is due to Wushe's own failure to cherish it.
What does this have to do with her being a chosen one with an overwhelming personal charm?
After watching the Kro people leave, Xuan Qiongzhi finally couldn't contain her curiosity and whispered to Xu Rangxi:
"Sister, why are you so nice to Wushe? You even give him advice..."
“I don’t think that arrogant guy is appreciative at all… He even pretended to say something like, ‘I hope you can keep it a secret until I decide whether to accept it or not’…”
"He acts like he's the only chosen one in the entire universe. I get angry just looking at him!"
"Three planets have been slaughtered in the last twenty years. If you ask me, they deserved it!"
"That's just his personality. As for you, why are you so angry?" Xu Rangxi was in a good mood because his plan had succeeded, so he wasn't in a hurry to move on to the next step.
Instead, he chatted casually with his younger sister, Xuan Qiongzhi.
"Isn't it because he doesn't respect you, sister!" Xuan Qiongzhi puffed out her cheeks, indignant on behalf of Xu Rangxi.
"This would have been understandable twenty years ago, since you were the chosen one and he was the chosen one."
"But now, you two are both chosen ones, with completely equal strength and status!"
"Moreover, he has remained stagnant for twenty years, without even touching the threshold of becoming a god."
"What makes him dare to continue being so arrogant? Does he really think our Starry Sky Clan is afraid of a mere Chosen God of Slaughter?"
"Xuan Qiongzhi." Seeing that Xuan Qiongzhi was showing signs of agitation, Xu Rangxi quickly called out his sister's name, temporarily interrupting her escalating anger:
"Have you forgotten what I taught you? To keep your emotions in check."
"Emotions are merely tools to achieve your goals; do not let them become obstacles on your path to self-improvement."
“Okay, sister… but Wu She’s behavior was just too infuriating, I couldn’t help it…” Xuan Qiongzhi looked aggrieved, her voice gradually fading.
Seeing this, Xu Rangxi smiled and put his arm around Xuan Qiongzhi's shoulder, his tone softening:
"Okay, I know you feel sorry for me."
"Actually, there's no need to be too wary of arrogant guys like Wu She."
"They are consistent in word and deed, and easy to exploit."
"What we need to pay attention to are people like Madam Octopus and King of the Wind."
"What's there to care about them?" Xuan Qiongzhi said dismissively.
"That Octopus Lady, although she has long been a chosen one of the gods, seems to have always had unstable power, and she has also frequently encountered problems in accumulating divinity."
"The King of the Winds goes without saying; he doesn't even qualify as a chosen one of the gods."
"Although his race gives him an inherent advantage, making him stronger than ordinary players of the same level, it ultimately cannot change the fact that he is a weakling."
"But they really did create the Overlord Army," Xu Rangxi replied calmly, his face full of apprehension.
"After more than a decade of operation, and having achieved good results in several small-scale magic tide outbreaks, it is now gradually being recognized by other star field overlords."
"What's the use of that?" Xuan Qiongzhi remained unconvinced.
"They're just a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. No matter how many people there are, can they be stronger than a chosen one?"
This time, Xu Rangxi did not refute his sister's statement, but shook his head with a slightly wary expression.
He then skipped over that topic and, in a relaxed, inquisitive tone, asked:
"Hey, who do you think is the culprit who slaughtered three planets of the Kro race?"
Xuan Qiongzhi blinked her beautiful eyes and answered almost without hesitation:
"Isn't it a demon?"
"Although the absence of decaying corpses does seem rather strange, faint traces of demonic energy remain on every planet that has been slaughtered."
"It's definitely the devil!"
"But don't you find it strange that such a large-scale massacre didn't trigger a demonic tide?" Xu Rangxi said, his gaze drifting into the distance.
There, the Khru people in charge of the cleanup piled the bodies into small hills, seemingly in preparation for cremation.
"Moreover, the massacre certainly wasn't completed in an instant; during this entire process, not a single player on the planet sent a message to the outside world."
"Not a single one escaped alive."
"Perhaps the demons who took action are special, a new race we've never seen before?" Xuan Qiongzhi didn't understand what Xu Rangxi was trying to say, so she simply answered whatever came to mind.
As it turned out, this casual remark perfectly revealed the answer that Xu Rangxi had been guessing.
“That’s right, I also think the possibility you mentioned is quite high.” Xu Rangxi nodded and said:
"That's why I encouraged Wushe to take the initiative to attack the Demon Realm and wage war against the demons."
"In this way, we can obtain information about that new demon race without lifting a finger, thus contributing to the future security of the Starry Race."
