Chapter 1256: Chapter 1254: Choice!

Do you want to know?

With one sentence, not only were those rioting citizens stunned, but the noble families supporting Chen Qing were also stunned, and then the leaders of countless noble families turned pale!

The ordinary people did not know Chen Qing’s origins, but these noble families had already speculated through secret investigations.

Most of the suddenly appearing humans had been settled in the Northern Wasteland, and most of those people naturally had memories. Through secret investigations by intelligence personnel, they all concluded that Chen Qing... came from the outside and was definitely not from their race.

Such an identity, if not exposed, would be fine; after all, the situation in Jiangnan was excellent, everyone was getting along, and everyone struggled without revealing it. But if directly exposed, that would be a different matter.

"My lord!" The head of the Yang Family immediately spoke, "No matter what your identity, even if you are a demon reincarnated, everything you have done for us is visible to all. No one will doubt you, and no one will..."

"Enough..." Chen Qing slowly interrupted him.

No one will doubt me? Your expression clearly shows you’ve already started investigating. He actually knew long ago that many noble families were investigating the Northern Wasteland, including this riot, which initially had the hands of the noble families behind it. Without them, a few hoodlums alone couldn’t have caused such a stir.

But the noble families did not expect that this time, due to the invasion of the Fearful Heavenly Demon, the situation became uncontrollable.

As long as this issue remains unresolved, it’s a ticking time bomb.

"Some things need to be made public; otherwise, it won’t be conducive to future unity."

This matter is certain. The population of Digital City exceeds tens of billions, not counting the Western Federation. With such a large population, at least half will want to come here, and with such a scale, it can’t be hidden forever. The Hell Rulers will eventually start to question it too.

Upon hearing this from Chen Qing, the family heads of the great noble families knew they had overplayed this time, but they were also very curious, given that the clues gathered from their investigations were vague. They were curious about the truth.

"You guessed it right, I am an outsider!"

With this statement, the children of the noble families didn’t change much, but the ordinary citizens were in an uproar; however, it wasn’t as tumultuous as before. With Chen Qing voluntarily admitting, people became cautious instead.

There was a sense of ambivalence.

This proved that their recent actions were not unreasonable, but what to do after the truth was revealed?

As the head of the Yang Family just said, should they overthrow Chen Qing? Replace him with someone else?

Or those noble family masters?

Or perhaps that rogue Liu San just now?

What a joke!

If any of these people came to power, what kind of life would it be? People’s intelligence is not low now; only someone with a screw loose would do such a thing.

The atmosphere suddenly became exceedingly strange; everyone was surprised by this outcome, yet the voices became frighteningly quiet, fearing to accidentally anger this person.

"Moreover, I’ve already sent a large batch of my former clansmen in."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked but remained silent. After all, they were not unaccustomed to such things. Everyone knew that the people of the Four Holy Army were demon-born, with something like a bug inside their bodies, but such existences slowly became accepted. Chen Qing’s clansmen shouldn’t be more disgusting than that, right?

"My lord..." The head of the Yang Family saw that Chen Qing had laid everything on the table, knowing he intended to resolve this matter once and for all, so he cooperated by asking, "May I ask who your clan members are..."

"In our world, we also call ourselves humans. Actually, you can say, you... were created by us."

"What?"

This answer once again shocked everyone. This time even the noble families were shocked.

"Regarding this aspect, it’s hard to explain in a short time. Let me roughly outline it. Our world was no longer habitable, so at that time, someone created another world, which is the world you exist in now. We’ve been observing you since long ago until recently; our people gradually entered this place."

"It’s not just me who entered; today, there are more powerful beings than me. Several forces, including those demons in the North, are the handiwork of my people, just different factions."

"The North is..." The common people half-understood, but they recognized one thing: the people from that world have strong forces here; the devastation in the North was caused by them, and the prosperity of Jiangnan was also caused by them, just different people.

Meaning, Chen Qing is helping them, while Chen Qing’s compatriots are different.

"My lord... this..." At this moment, the head of the Yang Family was also stunned, the more wise he was, the more his mind was shocked by Chen Qing’s words, almost shattering his worldview.

"Now with the war looming, I give you the freedom to choose." Chen Qing levitated, looking at everyone and said, "You can choose to let me leave. I can take my people, completely leave Jiangnan, and give you everything built here. You can choose your own ethnic leader to lead you."

"I will not take any resources from here, not a penny. The Four Holy Army is demon-born; if you dislike them, I can take them away too. As long as you wish, from today on, I will no longer be the king here; everything will be decided by you. Of course, when facing external enemies, you will also be responsible for yourselves."

"My lord!" The head of the Yang Family shuddered and quickly reacted, urgently saying, "We don’t have that intention."

No matter Chen Qing’s identity, he truly provided the most stable and powerful force for construction. Without him, he could foresee that this prosperous Jiangnan would instantly be shattered, becoming a playground for those terrifying outside forces.

This is not alarmist talk; over the years, he had personally seen how Chen Qing made his way step by step. Although he was a minor figure, the trend of everything was crystal clear to him.

An excellent leader and a group of half-past-six people are completely different things.

The most crucial thing is the Divine Path Sect that supports Jiangnan. If Chen Qing leaves, how will Divine Path maintain itself?

Without Divine Path, what are the Warrior Army worth?

"You don’t represent everyone’s thoughts." Chen Qing looked at the head of the Yang Family and smiled, "However, if you wish, even if I am driven away, you can still come with your family."

The head of the Yang Family was slightly relieved to hear this, as he believed in Chen Qing more than the prosperous Jiangnan.

He immediately bowed, "Thank you, my lord."

But not everyone had this awareness; many heads of families had inexplicable looks, and many people’s eyes turned strange.

It seems... they are very interested in what Chen Qing proposed.

Chen Qing knew that human greed has never been rational. Without a painful lesson, you cannot wake up this group of people.
