The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 908 - 284: Land Stained with Blood

"For the Divine, this rule is simply too unfair! Every reincarnation is a harvest, weak Divines only grow weaker in this vicious cycle!"

"I can only adjust my strategy, cultivate more powerful sentient beings, and try to regain an advantage from a technical perspective! For instance, the flying Wind Roar Clan, the swimming Tide Clan... even chameleons have been added to my palette as backup options against the disadvantage in Soul Levels!"

"Besides, I've started attempting to repair my relationship with the Giant Dragons, changing my extinction strategy against them... After all, low-level creatures enlightened by me are already everywhere, isn't this just a trivial matter? At worst, I'll tidy them up slowly after I've unified this planet. Also, since that incident, I've been a vegetarian for many years."

Upon reading this, Youyou couldn't help but quietly complain.

"Why does this guy harbor such malice towards the Giant Dragons... aren't those dragons his children, after all?"

Luo Yan thought for a moment and said.

"Maybe because they're meat lizards."

This is actually not difficult to understand.

Humans and pigs are both mammals, with a genetic similarity reportedly up to 98%, and the physical difference is probably less than that between a Lizardman and a Giant Dragon.

He could accept monkeys learning to speak, but if a pig on the dining table suddenly spoke one day, he would probably feel creeped out.

Indeed.

By the time Mr. Gutaf wrote this journal, it was obvious he'd begun to let go of self-restraint, and his moral standards had seriously declined.

With the disadvantage in Extraordinary Power, instead of pondering why the Armored Dragon Clan has such low self-identity, he stubbornly pursued an approach of brute force achieving miracles—violent infusion of the ecosystem of this planet with more diverse genetic codes and techniques from the Zeta Civilization.

This mindset fits well with Gutaf's identity and background, with various evidences indicating that he is a "special skills expert from a highly developed and atomized material world." He possesses strong professional skills and scientific literacy, but after leaving the swarm, he's like a headless fly, doing senseless things.

Luo Yan was not polite in his evaluation of him, after all, this guy's bones are probably in his hands, and he certainly couldn't pop out and confront him.

This person, although he realized the existence of the soul, has actually never paid proper attention to it, nor listened to the pleas of those souls born from his own hands, still treating them as mere resources, ores, tools—or "objects" to be researched academically.

However, perhaps because they are both antagonists, Luo Yan found himself surprisingly able to empathize with this guy, even more so than with Linte Isaac, this imaginative fellow countryman.

He, too, initially had high moral conduct, but after living in Hell for a long time, he slowly adapted to the local customs.

Of course.

Empathy doesn't equate to approval.

For his subjects, be they goblins, humans, or Lizardmen, Luo Yan would considerately let them choose how they would like to be violently infused.

"...Genetic technology addresses the symptoms but not the root cause. To achieve stronger Extraordinary Power, I ultimately need to figure out a way to deal with that Netherworld God. Otherwise, my carefully cultivated Chosen Ones would still be taken away by reincarnation, even if I can extend their lives, I can't prevent unplanned losses in their war and growth processes."

"From this moment, I began to realize that the authority of reincarnation must be in my own hands. But before that, I must bet cautiously, ensuring every Power of Faith is spent on worthy believers... like those Giant Dragons."

"By the way, they finally recognized my status as a father and returned to my embrace... except for some stubborn guys."

"In the faith struggle with Uranus, the Armored Dragon Clan finally gained the upper hand... although some subspecies Lizardmen rebelled, we still hold the greater advantage. The only thing that troubles me is my archenemy, the Netherworld God's power is really too formidable!"

"Those guys are practically projections of the indomitable Spirit of all living creatures on this land. To eliminate Him, one would have to completely uproot the stubborn old thought of 'equality before death.' My power alone is too insignificant, maybe I should find an ally..."

This ally would probably be Saint Sis.

The Dragon God hasn't been overly defamed in the Aus Empire, even the term Giant Dragon is relatively neutral, probably because of this reason.

To this day, many adventurers still cultivate the "Qi" strength of the Dragon Divine Sect on the Aus Continent, just without worshipping the Dragon God.

"What would you do? How would you defeat the Netherworld God?" Youyou asked curiously.

"Me?"

Luo Yan smiled lightly and casually said.

"I don't think there's any meaning in defeating death, the fall of the Netherworld God would be an absolute disaster for this world, perhaps even... the ubiquitously spread Undead, the displaced dead, and the endless threats from Chaos and Hell, could very well be the causal punishment for those sneaky races from a millennium ago."

He paused for a moment here, then continued.

"Of course, if I had to defeat Him... Saint Sis has actually written down the standard answer, and if it were me, I'd probably do the same."
