Versatile Mage: Summon eight demons at the beginning

……

"I have emphasized this many times, but you seem to think I am playing hard to get." Lu Cheng said.

Everything you get will become cheap. The further you move forward, the more you will miss the things you once desired in the past. He is no exception.

He lived in a state of worry for more than ten years, and hovered between sudden wealth and sudden death for several years. It was not until the past two years that he finally stabilized.

What does he want most?
"Tang Yue believed me, but you still doubted me." Lu Cheng said.

"why?"

"Just because I am not human, you are going to use your ancient saying that those who are not of my race must have different hearts?"

Leng Qing raised his head, "Because you made everything clear."

"You could have kept the matter of Saran secret, or even buried it all. No one would have asked you, and no one would have said anything. But you chose to bring it to the surface and force us to accept it."

"You said you respected us, but did you really respect us?"

Everyone's suspicion and panic about Lu Cheng has nothing to do with his power or his race, it's all because of Saran!

Who is Saran?

They knew it, and Lu Cheng knew it too.

If Saran disappeared that night at the Parthenon, no one would suspect anything, and even if they did, everyone would just pretend to be stupid.

However, Lu Cheng insisted on making Saran’s matter clear!
How should they accept it?
Tang Yue can accept it because she is stupid!
She felt that Lu Cheng told this matter just because he didn't want to deceive them.

But in fact?
Doesn’t Lu Cheng know that some things are best kept secret?
But why did he have to say it?

She was indeed afraid that Lu Cheng was becoming the new Saran!
"I know this is hard to accept, but from my point of view, this is the best choice for you," said Lu Cheng.

"At least, you have to be mentally prepared."

"..."

"Is what the old man said about the Parthenon true?" Leng Qing asked.

"If what you mean is that I almost killed hundreds of thousands of people in the city, then it is indeed true." Lu Cheng said.

"If it weren't for a little intractable trouble, I would have killed more people."

In his choice of the Parthenon, he was indeed impulsive.

But as we all know, the so-called momentary impulse is the truest thought in a person's heart.

Careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons are all mixed results after being disturbed by the environment.

Why can death make people see many things clearly?

Because of death, when you lose everything, you also lose your shackles.

Because I don’t have to worry anymore, my mind is clear.

The same is true for impulse.

Nothing happened on impulse; it was all premeditated.

"Why?" Leng Qing asked puzzledly.

"You weren't like this before."

"I was like this before, but I didn't have the power before. But now I have that power. You can think that my true nature has been exposed." Lu Cheng said.

"I used to have to compromise, but now I don't need to."

"Before, I could only follow the rules made by others, but now, I am the rule maker. Anything I don't like must be changed and must be based on my rules."

"Just like you are not satisfied with the Holy City and the leaders at the top, I am also not satisfied with this world, so I want to change it according to my own ideas."

"If someone doesn't like me, just knock me down and kill me." "..."

"Because you are no longer a human being?" Leng Qing asked.

"No, it's because I still have a human part that I am like this," said Lu Cheng.

"If I have nothing to do with humans, what you see is not change, but destruction, just like humans in the past destroyed the ethnic groups you disliked based on their own preferences."

"Since you still have a human part, why are you unwilling to move more towards the human side?" Leng Qing asked.

"I have never treated anyone who has been good to me unfairly," said Lu Cheng.

“Even though there were times when I didn’t want to, I still did it.”

"You just didn't see it."

Without his interference, not only so many people would have died in Bo City. More people would have died in Hangzhou, and the same goes for the ancient capital, as well as Ye Chang, Leng Jue, Su Lu, and Shengcheng.

How many more people will Ye Chang kill? How many more people will die in the undead war caused by Leng Jue? How many more people will be killed by Su Lu's madness?

There are also conflicts between the Holy City and the Ancient King, and between the Holy City and Mo Fan. How many people will die as a result?
He doesn't like to judge life or right and wrong by numbers, but people like it this way, putting the overall situation first, and thinking about sacrifice and dedication.

They all advocate the death of a minority to save the majority.

This is justice, human justice.

Then, isn't it that what he has done is in line with human justice?
How many deaths has he prevented?

But what do people think of him?

They felt he wasn't doing enough and was being selfish.

He saved a hundred people, and another weak person sacrificed himself to save another person. People will haile the latter as a hero and call him an indifferent person!
Because he could have saved more people, but he only saved those one hundred people.

Reasonable? What kind of reason is this?
People who did nothing and just stood by and watched were criticizing him?

Where did that face come from?
He doesn't ask for anything in return, but that doesn't mean he is willing to work hard for nothing, or even to suffer the consequences.

"If a person has a loaf of bread and is willing to give half of it to others, people will call him a noble person. But I have a lot of bread, as well as wine and meat, and I give one loaf to each person. People will not thank me, but will only scold me, asking why I don't share my wine and meat with them? What's worse, some will come to steal and rob," said Lu Cheng.

"Greedy and insatiable, they will push for more."

“People never thought that I could have given nothing.”

"What does their life or death have to do with me?"

"If you add more fuel to put out a fire, the fire will not go out unless the fuel is used up."

"Too much kindness will only get you into trouble and won't solve anything."

"I believe you understand this truth, you all understand it, and they understand it too, but when I really do this, you will still resent me."

"why?"

"You are very smart. You know all these problems, but even so, you still blame me, not to mention those who don't know. In this case, do you think I should help everyone?"

"To sacrifice oneself, to devote oneself?"

"A noble man will not ask others to sacrifice themselves to save him, and a mean man will not sacrifice himself to save others."

"what's the result?"

"You think your efforts will make the world a better place?"

"No, you will die. All of you noble people will die, because your so-called spirit of dedication will make noble people sacrifice their lives for despicable people. In the end, only garbage will be left in this world!"
