Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 1608: Second Best

“Those words are truly admirable.”

Shen Yuanbao said, “My young friend, Meng, do you know what has happened to the countless revered people like you who have tried to change the world on their own?”

“I do. They were either condemned by the public, disgraced, or killed by a mental patient who appeared out of nowhere.”

Meng Chao said, “However, Senior Shen, do you know the biggest difference between me and the innovators who died before they even started?”

Shen Yuanbao shook his head slowly.

“In terms of ideas and methods, of course, I’m far inferior to the far-sighted innovators in history. However, I believe that there has never been an innovator on Earth who possesses my power.”

Meng Chao raised his fist, and his palm emitted the sound of steel melting. Wisps of blue flames emerged from the gaps of his fingers, and circles of pale golden electric arcs surrounded the outer flames.

His fist, which was interlaced with lightning and flames, was still half a meter away from Shen Yuanbao’s eyes.

One of the most senior Deity Realm warriors in Dragon City was so stimulated by the overwhelming pressure that he squinted his eyes. His facial muscles rippled like a lake stirred by a giant rock.

“I’m just a beginner who has just entered the Deity Realm. Of course, I’m no match for you seniors.”

Meng Chao smiled and emphasized each word. “However, if anyone wants to physically destroy me, they should send out at least three to five Deity Realm fighters and be prepared to pay a terrible price. After the battle, those three to five Deity Realm fighters would all be reimbursed.

“Besides, I’m not alone.

“Battle God Palace, the Red Dragon Army, the Azure Alliance led by Lu Siya, and tens of thousands of low-level and middle-level superhumans have my back. I don’t think they’ll just watch as three to five Deity Realm warriors fight with me in the sky above Dragon City. They’ll fight until the sun and moon lose their light, and the sky and earth collapse.”

“You said that you didn’t agree with Lu Siya’s approach,” Shen Yuanbao said in a deep voice.

“If you can consider the big picture and show the integrity that an old senior and a hero should have, then I don’t agree with Lu Siya’s approach.”

Meng Chao said, “But if you insist on putting your own interests and your family’s interests before the overall interests of the Dragon City civilization and the interests of its several million ordinary citizens, I can only choose Lu Siya’s approach. I might even be more ruthless than her.

“In any case, according to my deduction, the Dragon City civilization, which is completely controlled by the nine mega corporations and the nine noble families of cultivation, has no future at all. No matter how impressive it is, it will be destroyed in the raging flames in the end.

“Then, no matter how extreme my methods are, I will try my best. I will not make the situation worse!”

“Hmph...”

Shen Yuanbao said, “So, you admit that you have nothing to do with Lu Siya. Even when you were exploring the middle and lower reaches of the Raging Tiger River, you didn’t forget to observe the situation in Dragon City in secret?”

Meng Chao grinned. “The so-called ‘nothing to do with Lu Siya’ requires at least a ‘breaking’ process on the surface. I don’t remember when I ‘broke’with Lu Siya.”

Shen Yuanbao was silent. He was thinking about the possibility of Meng Chao’s words revealing that he and Lu Siya were working together.

Lu Siya, who was ambitious, ruthless, good at bewitching people, and was not weak herself, was already a headache.

If the Dragon City’s youngest Deity Realm warrior was added...

Many times, being young did not only mean being young.

It also meant having endless potential and endless possibilities.

It also meant that when Shen Yuanbao and the other experts of the older generation couldn’t resist the erosion of time and fell one after another.

It was very likely that Meng Chao, who had just stepped into his peak period, had started to control the wind and rain in Dragon City.

Even if the peerless experts from the nine great cultivation families could suppress Meng Chao and Lu Siya in a short period of time.

What about ten years later?

What about twenty or thirty years later?

Shen Yuanbao sighed.

For the first time, he felt that he was unable to put in the effort.

He felt that he had lost.

Not to Meng Chao and Lu Siya.

But to time, damn time!

Shen Yuanbao thought seriously for a long time before turning his gaze towards Meng Chao once again.

Meng Chao’s face was calm, and his eyes revealed a trace of madness in his calmness. He displayed his “bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes” mentality to the fullest and did not give in to his gaze at all.

After looking at each other for ten seconds, Shen Yuanbao suddenly laughed.

“Alright, little friend Meng, stop beating around the bush.”

Shen Yuanbao said, “Where exactly do you want to open the Window? Hurry up and tell me.”

Meng Chao blinked and said, “What do you mean by ‘open the window’?”

“Humans are the most compromising creatures. If there is a room with four high walls that are airtight and there is no sunlight, if you rashly say that you want to open a window on the wall, the people inside, who are used to the darkness, will definitely not agree. However, if you say that you want to completely open the roof but you can take the second-best option and open a window at the very least, then the people in the room will most likely agree.”

Shen Yuanbao said, “You just proposed that the excessive progressive inheritance tax for peak Heaven Realm and Deity Realm powerhouses is too radical. It will only intensify the conflict and not solve the problem. It won’t land on the ground at all. It’s obviously a plan to ‘flip the roof.’

“Other than that, you must have a more stable, more conservative, and more considerate way to ‘open the window’that allows everyone to sit down and talk slowly, right?”

Meng Chao laughed as well.

“Many people say that Shen Yuanbao is a simple-minded warrior with well-developed limbs. He only managed to conquer a large territory in the good years when he could soar to the sky if he dared to fight. Who would believe such a foolish conclusion? Who would be the real fool?”

Meng Chao said, “That’s right. I do have another idea.

“It’s naturally difficult to make a peak Heaven Realm warrior and a Deity Realm warrior hand over more than half of their wealth before they die.

“Then, what if we set up a foundation?

“In the name of the peerless expert, in theory, the foundation will always be controlled by the descendants of the peerless expert. It will only be run by professional managers and restricted by special legal provisions.

“As long as the Dragon City civilization exists, the foundation will ensure that the descendants of the peerless experts can at least live a comfortable and down-to-earth life.”

“The foundation...”

Shen Yuanbao slowly chewed on this concept and said, “Now, the nine major cultivation families have established various foundations.”
