Chapter 1857 Anyone Can Predict The Future

"If that's the case, we have to find Master Lei's body as well," Long Feijun said.
"If we don't find him alive or dead, what will the people out there say? What will Battle God Palace, the Red Dragon Army, the Azure Alliance, and the thousands of superhumans from humble families think?
"Think about it, Vice-president Shen. If news of Master Lei's mysterious disappearance were to spread on a large scale, would the people believe that the nine cultivation families were behind this?
"After all, thirty years ago, it was the nine great families who joined forces to pressure Master Lei into giving up all his power and living in seclusion in Battle God Palace!"
Shen Yupeng's expression became particularly unpleasant.
Obviously, he had also realized that Battle God Lei Zongchao's disappearance made the already chaotic situation in Dragon City even more unpredictable and uncontrollable.
"But how long can we keep the news under wraps? Twelve hours? Twenty-four hours? Are you sure that you can find the Battle God's remains in such a short time?
"Allow me to remind you, Colonel Long," Shen Yupeng said, "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Right now, several thousand superhumans from the lower class are hoping that the Battle God will come out and preside over everything. The organizations that recently emerged such as the Red Dragon Army, the Azure Alliance, and the Ordinary People's Committee are also drafting their next action plans on the premise that the Battle God will step out.
"If they don't know the truth, accept reality, and adjust their strategies in time, and only announce the truth when the truth cannot be hidden any longer, everybody's hope will be dashed. I'm afraid that things will get even more out of hand."
Long Feijun snorted coldly.
He also realized that Shen Yupeng was speaking the truth.
No matter how bad their impression of each other was, no matter how complicated the conflicts were between their interest groups, they were all in the same boat when it came to Battle God Lei Zongchao's disappearance..
Like a fuse that was shortening and smoking, the problem before them was unprecedentedly complicated.
Just as the air between them was about to be torn apart from a molecular level, Meng Chao and Lu Siya arrived.
Meng Chao was also a war orphan, and he had received Lei Zongchao's careful guidance as well. He had a natural trust and a common language with the people from Battle God Palace.
At the same time, he had a good relationship with Shen Yupeng. The two of them had fought side by side in a series of cases against the Supernatural Entity.
Right now, Meng Chao's Superstar Company and the Shen family's Universe Corporation had formed a strategic partnership.
Long Feijun and Shen Yupeng's eyes were as sharp as lightning. However, they dimmed the moment Meng Chao arrived.
"Brother Shen, give us some time."
Meng Chao pulled Shen Yupeng aside and got straight to the point. "Allow us to go down at least once. We'll try everything we can even if we're saving a dead horse!" he said sincerely.
"Meng Chao, haven't you realized that all this chaos started when you returned to Dragon City?"
Shen Yupeng stared at him deeply and emphasized each word. "Are you sure that you're trying to turn the tide instead of adding fuel to the fire and causing trouble?"
"Brother Shen, as one of the best among the nine families' younger generation and an elite member of the adjudicator court, I believe that you know far more clandestine inside stories than ordinary superhumans. You should be aware about how many irreparable cracks and conflicts there are in Dragon City. The problems caused by extraordinary power are like growing malignant tumors. If we leave them alone, they'll explode sooner or later, and by then, it'll be too late!" Meng Chao said resolutely.
"I'm just cutting open the epidermis so that everyone can see the malignant tumors!
"So, have you found a safe way to remove these tumors?"
Shen Yupeng was unmoved. "Although these malignant tumors are huge, they're not fatal for the time being. If we 'treat them traditionally,' we might be able to hold on for another twenty to thirty years, or even half a century!
"Within this period of time, we will be able to seize a large amount of land, population, and resources from the Other World through the colonization war. We might even be able to excavate more black technology from the ancient ruins and greatly alleviate Dragon City's internal conflicts.
"When that happens, we'll look back and deal with the malignant tumors living inside our civilization more calmly and safely. Wouldn't that be better?
"However, you are so impatient that you have to expose the worst, most unbearable, darkest, and weakest side of Dragon City while everyone is unprepared... Do you think that you're trying to turn the tide, saving civilization, and curing this deformed, ugly, and corrupt society? 'No, Meng Chao, from what I can see, you're gambling on the future of Dragon City's civilization just to satisfy your 'desire to save'! You're either hypocritical or childish—you're definitely one of the two!"
"You're wrong, Brother Shen. We don't have a future."
Meng Chao looked Shen Yupeng in the eye, and he was not willing to back down. The power of the Other World's native civilization is far beyond our imagination. If we don't solve our internal civilization first and let all the citizens of Dragon City, regardless of whether they are ordinary people or superhumans, poor people or rich people, carry out the words 'unity is unity,' we will never win the colonization war. Death is the entire civilization's last drop of blood, and it awaits us all. Even the last strand of genes will be burned away by the endless fire of the apocalypse on this planet, which is billions of lightyears away from Earth!"
Shen Yupeng narrowed his eyes.
Perhaps Meng Chao's gaze was too sharp, and it contained too much information, but the vice-president of the adjudicator court lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
"Why do you say that?"
Three seconds later, Shen Yupeng raised his head. "Meng Chao, what do you know?"
Meng Chao contemplated the matter.
It was obvious that Su Mulian would not remain silent.
Instead, she would use her belief in "changing the future and saving Dragon City" to tell everyone she could come into contact with what she had foreseen.
As the youngest vice-president of the adjudicator court, Shen Yupeng would certainly hear Su Mulian's confession within 24 hours.
In that case, there was no need for him to hide it.
Meng Chao told them about Su Mulian's motive and what had happened to Su Mulian as well as Lu Siya.
Shen Yupeng and Long Feijun both looked incredulous.
"You... Do you believe her words?"
It took Shen Yupeng half a minute to digest this complicated and absurd information. He then scrutinized Meng Chao with a suspicious gaze. "You believe that someone can see the end of the world?"
"As long as the initial information is huge enough and the person's calculation, simulation, and deduction abilities are strong enough, they can foresee anything.
Meng Chao said, "As for the end of the world, it's not that hard to predict.
"In fact, an industrial city from Earth that's still in its initial stage of informatization could travel to a mysterious planet that's suspected to have been modified by an interstellar civilization. Although it's full of powerful modified objects, it will eventually be destroyed after struggling for decades. That's more likely than successfully upgrading city-level industrialization to the age of the spirit energy. It's almost impossible for a city to conquer the entire planet and even resist the interstellar civilization's space-based orbital strike. If the probability of the former is 99%, then the probability of the latter is only 1% at best, or even lower!"
