Chapter 2684: Who is the deterrent? (2/2)
Lei Chenghu laughed, ”Are you saying that restarting the Jinjing Tower will anger the sun again?”
Li Yao's eyelashes quivered quickly: ”...Yes, this is what you forced me. If you really attack the underground, I will restart the Jinjing Tower.”
”Haha, Li Yao, although you are a despicable and shameless villain, you are still a cultivator. This is not only your most precious strength, but also your most fatal weakness.”
Lei Chenghu laughed, ”Tell you, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe that you will go against the Taoism of the cultivator, restart the Jinjing Pagoda again, and use the lives of tens of billions of people as a bet to deal with me, especially when you just Don't forget everything, after saving these people from Wu Yingqi! Your Dao Mind, your laws, and your ideas won't allow you to do this.
”You may be an excellent lurker, or even an excellent fraudster, but your heart is too soft to be a qualified deterrent. Your threat and deterrence are almost zero.
”Let me tell you how to be a qualified deterrent. Next, I am going to issue my own deterrence——
”I will give you half an hour for you to make a final decision. You have two ways to go.
”First, within half an hour, drive the arsonist united fleet to the ninth orbital base, and hand over the highest control authority for all key ground facilities, including the Jinjing Tower. I will abide by the past promises to ensure your safety and security. Power, and even some ”renovation supervision committee” can be established as you wish, as a supplementary body of the Senate.
”And you, Li Yao, your identity as the'King of the Black Wind' and the'Master of the Five Black Wind Realms' will also be recognized by me and the imperial military's strong support. The future Black Wind Five Realms can become a kind of In the form of a special zone for cultivators, the cultivator fleet can also operate openly in the empire under the name of the Black Wind Legion.
”This is the limit of my sincerity and the limit that thousands of immortal cultivators can tolerate.
”Second, if within half an hour, the arsonist combined fleet has not sailed to the ninth orbital base, and you insist on not surrendering the highest control authority of the ground facilities, especially the Jinjing Tower, then my troops will forcibly land on the celestial pole. Sing, take over all the facilities, and what happens next is beyond anyone’s control.”
”Lei Chenghu, you are playing with fire!”
The boss next to him snarled, ”You are ruining a hard-earned victory!”
”Yes, but the so-called'deterrence' is like this.”
Lei Chenghu folded his hands and said lightly, ”This will of course cause great troubles for the reformers' undertakings and even the rebirth of the entire empire, but I believe that you cultivators will definitely suffer ten times more severe blows. Bet, you dare not completely tear your face with me, of course, if I lose the bet, I will not hesitate to throw out the bargaining chip, put the threat into action just now, this is a qualified'deterrent', It should be done.”
Boss Bai fell silent and looked at Li Yao.
Li Yao's face was pale, his expression hesitated, and his eyes hesitated, as if he had no idea.
”Look, Li Yao, this is your nature.”
Lei Chenghu saw through the weakness in Li Yao's heart and smiled and said, ”This may not be considered a weakness, it's just'inappropriate'. Each of us always has our own suitable position, and your position should never be. The'deterrent', especially the use of the lives of tens of billions of people as a bargaining chip, you can't afford to play such a game.
”In any case, my troops will land in half an hour. If you want to restart the Jinjing Tower, please, I will just watch you press the button of destruction, will you?”
”...I, I won't.”
Li Yao was sweating profusely in an instant, and he seemed to have a nervous breakdown at any time. He bit his lip and sighed, ”You are right, General Lei, it seems that I am indeed not a deterrent. This is the first time. Deterrence just fails, it’s really, really useless to be seen through by you at a glance!
”It is indeed impossible for me to restart the Jinjing Tower. It is impossible anyway. If I do this, I am afraid that my Dao Xin will collapse within 0.1 second. I, I cannot bear such pressure, it is too cruel, and It's...exciting.”
”It's okay, it's not your fault, or even your strengths.”
Lei Chenghu smiled and said, ”It seems that we have reached an agreement. You are not a qualified'deterrent'. I am more suitable than you to be in charge of the Jinjing Tower and become a real'deterrent', right?”
”Yes, you are not wrong at all.”
Li Yao blinked and wiped the sweat from his forehead, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, ”But I am so soft-hearted, feminine, indecisive, and more suitable to be a'deterrent' than me. You, I don’t have to hand over the Golden Tower to you either.
”By the way, have I introduced you to my two children, Xiao Ming and Wen Wen?”
