Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 1612: External Objects and the Name Behind Them

Shen Yuanbao was speechless. After a long time, he said unwillingly, “Now that Universe Corporation has an astronomical number of resources, how can I know that there won’t be a few Deity Realm warriors among my descendants?”

Meng Chao said, “Those from ordinary people to superhumans, from the Earth Realm to Heaven Realm, and even from the Four-star Heaven Realm to the peak of Heaven Realm might be able to use a huge amount of resources to barely build up.

“However, from the peak of Heaven Realm to the highest realm of transcendence and sainthood, one must have great perseverance and great opportunities to overcome all difficulties and dangers. I believe that you know this better than I do, Senior Shen.

“In fact, ‘the descendants of a Deity Realm warrior are also Deity Realm warriors.’ That was originally a small probability event that could only be encountered by chance. After reaching the peak, one would inevitably go downhill. How could there still be another peak after one peak, with endless descendants?

“Einstein’s children are definitely not as smart as Einstein. We have not heard of any of Newton’s children who have stood out either. Those great men once created heaven and earth, but they would already be lucky to have a mediocre life and children who lived to middle age. It’s more likely that one person in the family would absorb the fortune of several generations. After that moment of glory, only chicken feathers would be left.

“That’s why the Ancients said, ‘it’s hard to start a business, but it’s even harder to keep a business’!

“A few Deity Realm warriors might really appear among your descendants, and their descendants might be Deity Realm warriors too. They might overcome their limits and cultivate until they surpass the Deity Ream. But so what? It’s too taxing to fly higher. In the end, they will only fall harder! It’s unlikely that the Shen family will be able to control the entire Dragon City civilization and the fate of several million people forever with their invincible and absolute earth-destroying force, right? As long as you can’t maintain that absolute force, there will be backlash and destruction!”

Shen Yuanbao closed his eyes and silently pondered over Meng Chao’s words.

He had to admit that this young man was more far more visionary than he thought.

“I suddenly envy Battle God Lei Zongchao.”

Shen Yuanbao sighed from the bottom of his heart. “Back then, he was invincible, but at the peak of his power, he refused all his posts, pushed away all his power, and chose to live a semi-retired life.

“At that time, I laughed at ‘Dragon City’s number one fighter.’ He only had brute strength, but he didn’t have any ambition. As the saying goes, ‘a man can’t be without authority for a day.’ He was simply not living up to his potential.

“Now that I think about it, although Lei Zongchao doesn’t have the wealth that I have accumulated, he doesn’t have to face the troubles that I have to face.”

“You’re wrong about that.”

Meng Chao said, “The number in Lei Zongchao’s bank account is definitely not as big as that of the Shen family and Universe Corporation. However, his wealth is hundreds of times more than yours, Senior Shen.

“Your wealth is just a string of numbers.

“Lei Zongchao’s wealth is the respect, admiration, trust, gratitude, and support of Dragon City’s millions of citizens.

“As they say, ‘when you save your money, you lose the people, but when you lose some money to save the people, both wealth and the people will be saved.’ Mankind itself is the greatest wealth. In this regard, how can you, or even all the people of the nine great cultivation families, compare to the mighty Battle God?

“Although the nine mega corporations are still in their prime, I can guarantee that in three to five hundred years, if the Dragon City civilization still exists, the people of Dragon City will definitely remember Lei Zongchao’s name, but they may not remember that there were once nine mega corporations and a peerless expert named Shen Yuanbao.

“Even if they do know about Shen Yuanbao, what do you think your image will be in the history books? Will you be a great hero who sacrificed himself to protect Dragon City’s civilization, or a profiteer who manipulated the underground black market, a villain who bullied the market, or the head of a decadent feudal family?

“Senior Shen, you have become a peak superhuman after cultivating to your level. You should have some extraordinary pursuits. Are those external things really more important than your name?”

His words were like steel nails that were surrounded by electric arcs. They pierced Shen Yuanbao’s heart deeply.

He, or rather, all the Deity Realm warriors from the nine mega corporations, always had a knot in their hearts. It did not matter how high their statuses were, how great their strength was, or how deep their financial resources were.

That was their status in the hearts of the citizens of Dragon City. They could never come close or compare to Battle God Lei Zongchao.

It did not matter how big the nine mega corporations were, how many advertisements they placed in the various media outlets, how they could call the shots in the financial markets, how many staff members they placed in the Supernatural Tower and the Survival Committee, or even how many members they placed in parliament.

They could control almost everything, but they could not control word of mouth and people’s hearts.

In the past, Shen Yuanbao never thought this matter was that important.

Back then, he was still young and strong, with unlimited ambitions and desires. He still wanted to use his own strength to conquer the entire Other World.

He believed that as long as he conquered the Other World, he would definitely be able to leave an important mark in Dragon City’s history books.

What of “reputation and the people’s hearts”? What of Battle God Lei Zongchao’s pedantry and hypocrisy?

But now, Shen Yuanbao was old.

He was so old that he had lost interest in most material stimuli.

He was so old that he had to admit that it was impossible for him to conquer the Other World in his lifetime.

At this point, Battle God Lei Zongchao’s image appeared before Shen Yuanbao repeatedly.

Shen Yuanbao remembered that he had once attended a grand charity gala.

Lei Zongchao was there at that time.

Shen Yuanbao and most of the Deity Realm fighters had treated the charity gala as just another high-end social occasion.

After generously donating to a charity fund that helped war orphans in front of all the major media outlets, they had focused on business socializing and drinking.

Lei Zongchao looked down on the peerless fighters whose realms were on par with his. He was the only one who had gone to play with a few orphans of war after a few perfunctory words.

Shen Yuanbao had seen Lei Zongchao squatting on the ground and standing beside a few six- or seven-year-old orphans. He even secretly made faces to make the orphans laugh.

Seeing the orphans’ pure and flawless smiles, Lei Zongchao was overjoyed as well.

At that point, Shen Yuanbao had still shaken his head in silence, thinking that Lei Zongchao was a typical example of “having no ambition”.

Now that reflected on it, the Battle God lived a carefree and transparent life!

“If...”

Shen Yuanbao thought about it and sighed softly. He stared at Meng Chao and cautiously said, “If such a foundation is established, the Shen family and Universe Corporation will be able to obtain support from you and Superstar Company. There is no need to form an alliance publicly. We only need to work together in secret and exchange information. If we form a triangle, I will consider doing my best to promote and facilitate this matter.

“Do you have any other ideas besides the foundation?”
