Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Chapter 413: The Beast in His Heart

Meng Chao shuddered.

He suddenly thought that his plan to stall for time was going a little too smoothly.

If he put himself in the Demonic Abyss Eye’s shoes, would he spend time to engage his enemy in pointless verbal fights at such a crucial moment?

Even if it was worried that Meng Chao would send his spirit energy into his brain and make his blood vessels, nerves, and spirit meridians in his brain explode, thus leading to him entering spirit energy deviation and even going brain dead, it could just knock him unconscious.

Meng Chao was certain that the Demonic Abyss Eye had plenty of ways to make him faint.

And if it wanted to brainwash him, it could slowly “process” him after it ran out of Dragon City and returned to the nest.

What reason did it have to work together with him and waste so much breath saying all those things?

Meng Chao’s mind raced, and he could only think of one reason.

It was not the things he said, but his soul itself that attracted the Demonic Abyss Eye.

He was well aware that there were two souls living in his brain.

One of them was the Meng Chao still in university and the other was the Meng Chao from the apocalypse.

The former was a normal young adult who had not been beaten down by society yet. He had normal and stable views toward life, the world, and morals. He believed in the law and morals and was willing to place his actions under the mercy of the law and order. He was filled with passion and hope, and he wanted to search for a way to save Dragon City within the rules of the game.

But that was not the case for the Meng Chao from the apocalypse. He had been viciously beaten down by society for years.

He had watched his parents pass away and his sister become corrupted before leaving him to rise as the Dark Witch.

Perhaps it was for the sake of searching for his younger sister or desiring greater power to protect her, but Apocalypse Version Meng Chao had joined the Ghost Tribe training camp on his own and slowly learned how to use everything at his disposal to win. He became merciless and learned how to use all sorts of schemes.

“Live! Even if you have to do it like a cockroach!”

The shouts of the instructor with the black skull who had later cut his throat rang in his ears again.

Since Apocalypse Version Meng Chao went through all those things, there was no way he would be like the innocent and passionate young adult at twenty years of age.

His soul was badly battered. His “wounds” might also be stained with countless “viruses” and “bacteria”, which filled it with darkness.

Meng Chao guessed that this was the reason why he did not awaken to all of his memories from his previous life when he just returned to the past.

If he had awakened them before his national college examination, there would have been only two outcomes.

First, his brain would have been unable to endure the information flow and, right on the spot, tens of thousands of his brain vessels would have exploded. He would have ended up as a fool or brain dead.

Second, his personality and thought processes would have become the apocalyptic version, and he would have turned into an Apocalyptic God of Death. A ruthless person who killed indifferently, enjoyed cutting up monsters and Other World creatures into pieces to research them, and did anything else to achieve his goals.

Fortunately, his brain, soul, and Kindling all had self-protection systems and stopped the memories from his previous life from being released completely the moment he returned.

Instead, they were released bit by bit so that he could gradually master his skills from his previous life but still keep the young, passionate, and optimistic personality.

But as the memories from his previous life came at him nonstop, Apocalypse Version Meng Chao influenced the University Student Meng Chao.

He had lost control a few times.

The first was when he just entered university. In a spar against the other students, he snuck into their dorms and set up all sorts of traps to pretend to cut their throats.

Meng Chao did not want to admit it, but he never wanted to remember the incident when he had faked cutting Duan Lian’s throat.

But no matter how he tried to suppress it, he could not forget the excitement that made him tremble when he had the blade fake a cut at Duan Lian’s throat. The excitement back then had come from the depths of his cells.

In his previous life, Meng Chao had to have cut a lot of people or Other World creatures’ throats.

Even though Meng Chao had managed to control himself in time at that moment, he also realized the problem of his two souls being incompatible with each other. After that, he started cultivating his morals and seldom let Apocalypse Version Meng Chao’s personality and thought processes come out to cause trouble.

But as his strength continued growing, Apocalypse Version Meng Chao became like an elephant in the room. He just could not be ignored.

On the surface, Meng Chao had never done anything as horrid as fake cutting his coursemate’s throat again, but when he wrote the report about the one hundred ways to destroy Dragon City, he had been really happy, and his lips had curled up subconsciously. It was as if a desire in the depths of his heart had been fully released.

He had written the report regarding all the ways to assassinate the chiefs of the city, stir up the people, create divisions, bring opposing parties to power, destroy important facilities, and other such methods with a smile.

Of course, he did not want to destroy Dragon City. He just wanted to destroy something.

If University Student Meng Chao placed a higher emphasis on defense and protection, then Apocalypse Version Meng Chao’s thought processes undoubtedly leaned more toward offense and destruction.

Through destroying the Other World civilizations, he could protect Dragon City’s civilization.

This was something the Demonic Abyss Eye had managed to sense.

Perhaps it did not know just what Apocalypse Version Meng Chao was, but it might have noticed that in the depths of Meng Chao’s heart were thoughts that were even more extreme and obsessive than those of Lin Chuan, Gao Ye, Zhou Tianshui, Zhao Feixuan, and the others.

As long as these thoughts were magnified, they would turn into the source of Meng Chao’s darkness.

The Demonic Abyss Eye had to have felt that Meng Chao was promising material. That was why it was willing to spend some time to bewitch him.

‘The fusion of human civilization and monster civilization, huh?’

Meng Chao had to admit, he had indeed thought of this before. No one else but him knew just how large and dangerous the Other World was.

Compared to the many Other World civilizations and extraordinary beings beyond Monster Mountain Range, monsters were really just the low-level creature of a newbie village.

If both of them really found a way to merge together, it would definitely be a better outcome compared to purely winning the Monster War.

But this thought had only appeared for a brief moment in Meng Chao’s mind before it was cast into the depths of his soul.

Humans and monsters had been fighting for around forty years. They bore so many grudges against each other that they could not come together with just the simple thought of working together.

Naturally, Meng Chao knew that compared to the Other World races that would pose fatal threats to Dragon City and would even destroy the city in the future, the threat from monsters was really nothing.

But the other Dragon Citizens did not know it.

Besides, even if humans were willing to set aside their grudges, who knew what the monsters thought?

Sometimes, the damage caused by a horrible teammate was one hundred times worse than that of an enemy!

Meng Chao felt that there was only one way that Dragon Citizens would accept for them to be united—if they won delightfully a dozen times to wash away the old grudges.

At the same time they killed a large number of high-grade monsters, they could also cultivate a large number of strong humans.

Then once they ensured that humans had an overwhelming advantage, they could control, domesticate, and manually rear as well as modify the surviving monsters.

In other words, it was impossible for them to have equal partnership.

The only path available was for human civilization to open its mouth wide and devour the monster civilization.

He believed that the intelligent beings in the monster civilization thought of things in a similar way. They did not need to kill all the humans, but they had to bring the smart and brave humans under their own control.

If his mind was clear, Meng Chao would definitely not waste even half a second on such boring thoughts, but as the Demonic Abyss Eye bewitched him, the thought crawled out of the depths of his mind and started growing stubbornly like weeds in the face of a storm.

Its roots had seized every one of Meng Chao’s brain cells firmly.

The leaves of the weeds rustled and let out low but mesmerising sounds.

They had Meng Chao’s own voice.

It sounded really old and strange.

‘That’s right. The experiences from my previous life have already proven that if a lot of resources are wasted on weak, normal humans, in the end, the strong will not be able to reach the peak of their strength, and it won’t be enough for them to fight against the extraordinary beings of the Other World. Then, the strong, the weak, our home, and our civilization will all be destroyed together!

‘The weak must die no matter what. This is the law of survival. The only problem is how to make the weak die worthy deaths and give the greatest value to the civilization with their deaths.

‘Over the past half a century, humans have fought against monsters and plenty of weaklings died, but a lot more powerful people rose up because of it so that our civilizations became stronger!

‘If monsters weren’t around, humans couldn’t have possibly adapted to the Other World’s environment so quickly. It also would have been impossible for us to gather all the resources within just a short few decades and create a complete spirit energy cultivation system. We even managed to upgrade our gene editing technology and runic symbol machine technology to the degree we see today.

‘From this angle, the war isn’t a bad thing.

‘Right now, the cultivation of the two civilizations is already completed. We’ve become strong enough, and we understand each other well enough. It’s time to think about ways to end this war and fuse together.

‘It’s right. If we continue fighting, it won’t be good for either of us.

‘We must live. Even if this means that we must fuse with the monster civilization and become something else completely different. Survival is everything...’

What brought Meng Chao fear were not the thoughts themselves, because he knew that they were born from him repeatedly hypnotizing himself and strengthening those thoughts because of the Demonic Abyss Eye bewitching him.

As long as he broke free of its bewitching spell and cleared his mind, he would definitely be able to use logic and discover the loopholes in those thoughts.

What scared him was that as those thoughts rose to the surface, more of the incredibly mad, extreme, and ruthless ideas that came from Apocalypse Version Meng Chao crawled out from the depths of his mind.

Meng Chao felt his mental strength continuously increasing, and it felt as if there was a mental storm in his mind. It was rapidly gathering together after it had broken a seal.

In terms of fighting strength, even when he died in his previous life, he was just a third-class fighter. He was far from his current state of a superhuman at the peak of Earth Realm.

But mental strength was a completely different concept compared to physical strength.

In his previous life, there were plenty of first-class and super first-class fighters who had died, but as a third-class fighter, he had managed to survive with gritted teeth through countless near-death fights, and he did not rely on just luck to do it.

The Demonic Abyss Eye believed that it could strengthen a human’s darkness and most extreme thoughts so that it could summon the “beast” lurking in everyone’s hearts.

But it did not know that the beast lurking in Meng Chao’s mind surpassed anything that it could control.

‘Idiot...’Meng Chao thought to himself. ‘You have absolutely no idea what you just summoned!’
