Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

Thus, the possible existence of "holy annihilation" is in his own hands.

Although the solution given by Saigo is cruel, it is undoubtedly the best solution at present.

Be able to achieve your goals with minimal sacrifice.

Nangong Nayue is not an indecisive woman. On the contrary, she has strong decisiveness, which is also one of her greatest advantages.

While maintaining her goodness, she will never be bound by morality and kindness, which is what Saigo admires most about her.

"I only have one question now!"

Nangong Nayue sat upright on the chair, she put the parasol in her hand aside, her seemingly childish face revealed mature thoughts, giving people a very contradictory feeling.

"what is the problem?"

Saigo asked with a little confusion.

"Why are you helping me? Aren't you a devil? As a devil, you should naturally want to see the world being swallowed by darkness!"

"...In that case, you chose to help me fulfill my wish and contract. This made me suspicious from the beginning. I wondered if there was some conspiracy of yours."

"Answer my question, don't use any weird excuses, you know I won't believe it!"

Nangong Nayue had a stern expression, and her sapphire-clear eyes stared at Xixiang intently.

Although her voice was still slurred and a little childish, she gave people an extremely mature feeling at this time.

"Hahahaha!! So that's the problem. Then I think you must have misunderstood something, Nayue."

Xixiang was still unhurried, and it was this calmness that made Nangong Nayue unable to understand him and always brought Nangong Nayue great pressure.

Saigo picked up a book from the table beside him. It was the book "On the Genealogy of Morals" that Nangong Nayue had read before.

"You have read the contents of this book before and know what it is about."

"...Then you should understand why we demons are called evil, and why in many legends, demons are regarded as symbols of 'evil'."

"That's because compared to humans, demons are in a stronger position, so in the eyes of demons, weak humans are denied by demons."

"...and in the eyes of humans, powerful demons are naturally defined as 'evil'!"

Xixiang didn't mind telling Nangong Nayue about his universal values, or the devil's values.

The witch of the gap was moved, and blurted out: "...You have been holding this book all the time, in fact, you are encouraging me to read it."

"...You know I will be curious about the book you read, so you take this opportunity to express yourself, or rather, to express your demonic values?"

Thinking of this, Nangong Nayue's heart was shaken and a chill rose in her heart.

This demon is really scary. He has planned everything from the very beginning. If you are not careful, you will be like a butterfly caught in a spider web, unable to escape.

Xixiang just smiled. He did not comment and did not answer Nangong Nayue's question. Some things were enough to let the other party guess.

"There is a mistake in what you said before, Xiao Nayue. That is, I, or rather the 'Great Lord' who created me, am actually not interested in the destruction of a world."

"...For beings like us, the long life span makes us actually indifferent to victory or failure."

"Whether you complete the contract and make our 'goal' fail; or you fail to complete the contract and let us destroy this world ourselves and succeed."

“…For us, it will bring joy.”

"Humans can only defeat demons temporarily, but not forever, so failure is not unacceptable."

"…The reason why humans always define demons as evil is simply because we are stronger and in a position of power."

Xi Xiang stood up leisurely, and slowly walked to Nangong Nayue's side. He gently stroked the witch's delicate and pink face with five fingers, and smiled:

"…That's why I'm helping you. I'm not here to destroy the world. I'm here just to have fun."

"You should know that the three True Ancestors who have lived for thousands of years have different ways of thinking and choices from humans."

"...the long life makes them search for the meaning of life, and for us demons, the meaning of life lies in happiness!"

"The Great Lord is not optimistic that you can complete the contract. If I help you complete the contract and make the Great Lord fail, both me and the Great Lord will be happy."

Xixiang has been fooling Nangong Nayue. It's not like he has really lived for thousands of years, and he doesn't have that kind of twisted mentality.

His only goal was to maintain the contract with Nangong Nayue and at the same time get something that interested him.

For example, 'Holy Annihilation', for example, 'Fourth True Ancestor'!

Xixiang said something that he himself did not believe, but Nangong Nayue believed it.

With the other three True Ancestors as role models, Nangong Nayue felt that perhaps the real thoughts of demons like Xixiang were just like this, so twisted that they were completely different from humans.

If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences. At this time, Nangong Nayue feels that she can only and must trust Xixiang.

This is the only way to fulfill the contract and wish.

"Come with me to the 'prison barrier'!"

Nangong Nayue had a determined look on her face. Once she made a decision, she would definitely take action.

"What to do?"

Saigo asked even though he knew the answer.

"Let's not talk about the other prisoners for now. If Ah Ye is really as you said that year, and that is her true wish, I will release her."

"…I won't apologize to her because we were on different sides back then, but I will ask for her help."

"Aye knows more witches. If I want to accomplish my goal, I need more manpower, and this can also fulfill Aye's wish."

"...As you said, since this is the only way, I will build a 'Witch's Empire'!"

Nangong Nayue, who was quick and decisive, made up her mind all at once.

Saigo looked at the witch in front of him with admiration. He smiled and said, "...The empire of the three true ancestors is called the 'Empire of Night'."

"...The kingdom of witches should be called 'Witch Night'. I think this name is very suitable."

Sentomu Aya's wish is to save all witches, and the name of this country is so suitable.

"Whatever you say, it's just a name anyway."

Nangong Nayue said indifferently.

Chapter 41: Feast of Flames

The prison barrier, the cell where Xiandu Mu Aye is imprisoned.

"You are such a rare guest, Na Yue... why did you think of coming to visit me?"

It was still that simple single room, with no extra furnishings except a desk, chair and bed.

Xiandumu Aya was wearing a dark twelve-piece kimono embroidered with floral patterns, and was kneeling quietly on the chair cushion.

There was a hint of mockery in her gorgeous fiery eyes as she looked at Nangong Nayue, who was sitting in front of her with a serious and childish face, and said with a smile.

Then, the witch glanced at Saigo again inconspicuously, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

It was clearly agreed that she would only stay in the prison barrier for a maximum of half a year, but who would have thought that Saigo would let her live here for three years.

Xiandumu Aya thought she was deceived by Xixiang, but now her soul is in Xixiang's hands, so even if she was deceived she can only swallow her anger.

"Aye..."

Nangong Nayue, who was wearing a black Lolita-style long dress, had a complex emotion flashing in her blue eyes.

But she quickly calmed down and said with a straight face: "...Aye, I know you may still resent me, resent me for arresting you and putting you in the prison barrier."

"…But I won't apologize to you for this, because we were on different sides at the time, and there was nothing wrong with me doing this."

It’s not that Nangong Nayue doesn’t admit her mistake, but she truly believes that her decision three years ago was not wrong.

Xiandu Mu Aye did not comment on this. After knowing the importance of Genshin Island to Nangong Nayue, she became more open-minded about it and knew that the two of them had problems with communication at the beginning.

Even though she no longer had any resentment towards Nangong Nayue, Xiandu Mu Aye's expression was still full of sarcasm, "...Since you are not here to apologize to me, then what are you looking for?"

Nangong Nayue took a deep breath, lowered her head slightly and said: "...I'm here to seek your help, Aye!"

Nangong Nayue’s words stunned Xiandumu Aye. She glanced at Xixiang and then quickly looked away.

Nangong Nayue continued, "...Of course, I was the one who put you into the prison barrier, and I am also the one who asks you for help now."

"...I'm not that shameless. I'm asking for your help now. If you have any requests, you can just tell me directly."

"Even if you ask me to kneel down and apologize for this, I am willing to do so."

Nangong Nayue has a strong and arrogant personality, but that doesn't mean she is too stubborn to admit her mistakes.

If she is really wrong, she will willingly admit it and accept any punishment. This is also her shining advantage.

"Want to ask me to do something for you? Of course, as long as you fulfill my wish."

Xiandumu Aye chuckled and covered her red lips with her wide sleeves.

"Is it your wish to save all witches?"

Nangong Nayue interjected.

Xiandu Mu Aye was stunned for a moment, then shrugged and said, "...It seems that the devil over there told you my true wish."

"...How boring! I want to threaten you with my wish to 'see the true nature of this world' to see how you react, Na Yue."

"But since you already know my true wish, I won't hide it anymore."

"...Yes, that is what I desire. If you can accomplish it, then no matter what you ask me to do, I will be willing to do it."

Nangong Nayue gritted her teeth. When these words really came out of Xiandu Mu Aye's mouth, Nangong Nayue's heart trembled.

In fact, the Xiandu Mu Aye wanted to destroy the Genshin Island in order to save himself, and he was willing to bear the lives of 600,000 innocent souls for this.

But he did not see her real plan, and instead captured Xiandu Mu Aya and put her into the 'prison barrier'. From this point of view, his friend was really unqualified.

Nangong Nayue laughed at herself inwardly, but she knew that now was not the time to think about these things.

The witch in the gap took a deep breath and said to Xiandu Mu Aye: "...If this is your wish, then the means to realize our wishes are exactly the same."

"...We can still be allies, Aye!"

Hearing Nangong Nayue say the word "ally" again, Xiandumu Aye's body trembled slightly, and she maintained a calm expression and said:

"…Then tell me your plan, Nayue."

Nangong Nayue told Xiandu Mu Aye about her plan in detail.

"You mean to say that you want to get rid of the artificial island management commune and establish a country based on Genshin Island, and hope that I can find more witches to help you consolidate your rule?"

"... and then use the power of the Holy Annihilator to fulfill our two wishes?"

Having said that, Xiandumu Aye couldn't help but look at Xixiang anymore.

She was very surprised and didn't know what means this demon had used to make Nangong Nayue make such a decision and do such a heinous thing.

Destroying the artificial island management commune, occupying Genshin Island and proclaiming himself king, and even using the Holy Annihilator to distort the laws of nature, these are not the choices that Nangong Nayue would have made in the past.

All we can say is that the devil named Zarathustra used means that Nangong Nayue could not refuse, forcing her to do so.

Although she was confused, Xiandumu Aye did not ask. On the contrary, Nangong Nayue's methods made her very excited. This was exactly the way Xiandumu Aye liked.

This is how they behave as witches!

"Well, this is my plan. The artificial island management corporation is composed of chaebols headed by the Yaze family. Since the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, it will be effortless to eliminate them."

"...But then there will be trouble. Genshin Island is one of the Demon Tribe's special zones. Although it is not completely under the control of the island nation, it is nominally part of the island nation's territory."

"Our actions are equivalent to declaring independence. It's still okay for the island nation, but this action is tantamount to betraying the 'Sanctuary Covenant Nation'."

"...The Sanctuary Alliance led by the War King Territory will surely send a large army to force us."

"The guards of Genshin Island can defend the interior, but facing the army of the alliance of various countries, Genshin Island will definitely be destroyed."

"... Even with the help of more witches, we can never be a match for the army of the Holy Land Covenant Nation."

Nangong Nayue had previously discussed with Saigo the international turmoil that her actions might cause, and she gave Xiandu Mu Aye a detailed analysis.

"So what are your plans for that month?"

At this time, Xiandumu Aye was also with Nangong Nayue, making suggestions for this plan.

"Since the three True Ancestors have their own Empire of Night, if we also have a True Ancestor here, we will have a strong claim that the fourth True Ancestor is a necessary component for the establishment of a country."

"...and based on the abilities of the Fourth True Ancestor, she can also be used as a strategic weapon to fight against the Holy Land Covenant Nation!"

After finishing speaking, Nangong Nayue looked at Xixiang, as if she was speaking to Xiandu Mu Aye as well as Xixiang.
