The Demon Lord calmly gazed at Chen Changsheng, his stare dragging on and on, until suddenly, he smiled.
The gums revealed by his smile and his pale face made Chen Changsheng recall the phrase 'white snow, red blood'.
In the end, the Demon Lord gave no explanation, only saying, ”All you need to know is that I was born on this continent, grew up on this continent.”
Chen Changsheng thought of that sentence in Wang Zhice's notebook.
Position is relative.
The Demon Lord's meaning was crystal-clear. Since he was born on this side, he was not part of that side.
This sounded like nonsense, but it was actually the most important declaration of his stance.
Chen Changsheng saw endless ambition and almost divine cruelty in the Demon Lord's eyes, saw serenity and indifference, but he did not see deception.
He was quiet for a while, then said, ”I have a few thoughts with regards to the Sacred Light Continent.”
A hint of admiration flashed in the depths of the Demon Lord's eyes, but it quickly turned into ice.
He understood what Chen Changsheng meant, and he also had his thoughts on this matter.
It was precisely for this reason that he was even warier of Chen Changsheng.
Whether it was Shang Xingzhou or the White Emperor couple, Black Robe or the Demon Commander, the Demon Lord had never cared too much about them, no matter how foresighted or invincible they were.
He was still young, still had enough time to mature. Moreover, it was precisely because he was young that he had a few special characteristics that many old people had already lost.
But now, he was facing the similarly young Chen Changsheng, and he had also seen those special characteristics in him, which made him feel slightly uneasy.
But it was still not the moment of life and death, because this conversation had not concluded. It might have even only just begun.
If Chen Changsheng was still unable to give an answer that satisfied him by the end, he would reconsider.
”Did you ever think about working with me on a few things?”
The Demon Lord had used a casual tone to bring up the truly important question today.
Chen Changsheng did not think for too long before giving an answer. ”The hatred between the two sides is too deep. No one has the right to negotiate peace, not even to consider your proposition.”
The Demon Lord shook his head. ”A person like Tang Second naturally doesn't have the right, because people like him are subjects. Having such thoughts will lead to disloyalty, but we are different. We are sovereigns, the guides who will lead our people forward. We have the right to choose the path.”
As he watched snowflakes instantly melt as they touched the tea pot, Chen Changsheng recalled that conversation from not too long ago at Wenshui City, in the Tang clan's old estate.
The snowfall that day was also rather heavy and the topics discussed were rather similar. It had not been particularly quiet, but the cold had pierced into their bones.
Just what should the future continent look like? Just what should be the relationship between the three races? These questions had been pondered by countless sages and Saints.
Although it was rather difficult to say the answer, there was no need to explicitly state it. Everyone knew that it should be peace.
But in the Tang clan's old estate, the Tang Old Master had said a few words that indicated that such a thing was impossible for now.
It was impossible even if one looked several centuries out.
Chen Changsheng recalled the siege of Luoyang and said, ”Demons eat humans.”
