I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Facing Xiaoyao's doubts, Ma En did not give a direct answer immediately.

"What is your real purpose in doing all this?" He questioned Xiaoyao, staring at him.

A smile appeared on Xiaoyao's face. Although Ma En didn't directly answer that he chose "life", this was actually a subtle way of admitting defeat to him. Since that was the case, he was willing to give him a way out.

"You already know my real purpose." Xiaoyao glanced coldly at the girl behind him. "I am constantly perfecting the Xiaoyao Heavenly Demon Art that I created. What you see now is a crude microcosm of my ultimate idea.

"You also know that I am improving this technique. My purpose is to allow your mortals to cultivate. Therefore, I plan to directly establish a sect here to teach the Xiaoyao Art, and I also need some samples to improve the technique.

"But I can't establish a sect alone, and I will have to concentrate on studying the Xiaoyao Art for many years to come, and I don't have the energy or time to deal with all kinds of affairs. Therefore, I need a deputy sect master to manage things for me.

"It doesn't matter whether it's you or someone else. As long as you have the resources I give you, you can stand on your own here. As far as I know, it's not as simple as cultivation for you mortals in this desolate world to advance to the so-called Tier V, but I think I can let you advance to Tier V in a short time.

"That's what I want to do, a fair trade."

At this time, Xiaoyao also shed his disguise as an expert and directly changed his tone. In fact, according to what he said, such a transaction seemed worthwhile to many people except Ma En, but obviously he didn't explain everything clearly.

Ma En said:

"You mean to let me work for you in the future, and also put on shackles that can be killed by you at any time, and it's far more than just killing me will become very simple, and killing me will not do you any harm.

"Because you can directly devour me completely, and the higher the cultivation level, the more things you can get from me."

Xiaoyao asked amusingly:

"Is it not simple for me to kill you now?

"Moreover, the only thing on you that is valuable to me is the Xiaoyao Heavenly Demon Body. Although after you reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, I can indeed plunder your physique through the Xiaoyao Heavenly Demon Art, but I can teach you separately how not to cultivate to that level.

"In that case, if I want to seize your body, it will inevitably not be good for my cultivation. Moreover, in fact, your worries are a bit unnecessary. If I really want to kill you one day, it must already be thousands of years later.

"But if you don't become my disciple, do you think you can live to be a thousand years old?

"What I give you is something you could never have obtained."

Ma En did not point out his mistake, but began to consider what Xiaoyao wanted to do:

"So you plan to cultivate a group of mortals who practice the Xiaoyao Art here, and then plunder their cultivation experience of this technique in the future to push yourself to VI?"

Xiaoyao smiled:

"Do you think I want their memories and understanding? No, it seems that what just happened caused you to misunderstand. My other disciples are all failures. Gathering them together to break through to the Nascent Soul stage is not my purpose.

"Remember what I told you, I don't think the current cultivation world has really done the right thing. They are constantly sacrificing the future of your desolate world in exchange for their own benefits, and even the Heavenly Court can't really solve all the evils.

"I am unwilling to accept their current secular morality, what do you think I plan to solve it."

Ma En thought for a while, and then said an answer that a normal person would be more likely to think of:

"You want to develop a resource in the desolate world that they couldn't use originally, and use this to gain enough power, and then return to the cultivation world to rebuild a new moral order?"

Hearing this, Xiaoyao laughed directly:

"A good idea, but what's the use of that? I don't think the Heavenly Court and the cultivators back then were fools. They are not really the kind of hypocrites. They monopolized all the spiritual energy because they thought it was the best choice.

"I used to stay in the Heavenly Court for a long time, and I know very well that our power is limited. Even if we have tried our best to make the world into an almost perfect utopia, you must know that the people there are no different from you in essence.

"There are no fewer bad people and fools in the cultivation world than in your world. The Heavenly Court's management is what keeps our world in that state, and this requires us to constantly invest huge amounts of resources. Moreover, there are dark areas in the cultivation world that are difficult to eliminate.

"In our place, there are many evil cultivators with terrifying methods. They know how to hide their true faces, understand how the Heavenly Court finds and solves criminals like them, and master incredibly powerful power and spells, which can easily cover up their tracks.

"It is much easier to do bad things than to judge bad people, especially when the Heavenly Court requires us to judge from an almost truly fair perspective. Many evil cultivators will use various methods to prevent the Heavenly Court from obtaining decisive evidence. Even if we know that almost 90% of it was done by him, we cannot make a decision so easily, because there are many powerful evil cultivators who can make innocent people look like criminals.

"Even those scapegoats think they are really the murderers, but they don't know that their souls have been tampered with. This also involves huge amounts of our resources, and that is why the seemingly powerful Heavenly Court cannot handle all cases in a timely manner.

"And the difficulty of solving most cases will become more and more difficult with time. Even mid-level cultivators can almost completely bury the crimes they have committed if they have enough time. If we want to solve all the problems, it will only make the mess bigger and bigger.

"Since that is the case, we have to make choices—just like the choices they made between the desolate world and the cultivation world. Some cases will be solved first, and some will be postponed, and the cost of solving those that are postponed after missing the best time will be too high.

"The priority of these cases will become extremely low. In the face of constantly increasing new cases, they will never have the opportunity to be put on the agenda again. Moreover, in order to make the 'correct' choices, they also established a so-called merit system.

"If two people are simultaneously in a crisis of dying, and if our resources are just not enough to save one, then the person with higher merit can survive. We have to constantly make choices and decide which people are more qualified to live.

"Moreover, because there is arithmetic, they will decide in advance who will die and who will live. But you must know that arithmetic is not an inevitable prophecy like the Divine Firmament Traveler. It is possible to make mistakes.

"Just like they decided to sacrifice the compatriots of the desolate world back then in exchange for being able to resist the invasion of demons in the future, in order to ensure victory in that war that could destroy mankind.

"But the demons never invaded."
