Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"Does the thought of extreme evil harbor a burning desire within?"

"You also find it difficult to get rid of it?"

He Li, who was in the Netherworld after finishing his communication with Houtu, familiarizing himself with the various aspects of the Netherworld in preparation for returning to the future to restore the Netherworld, was found by Kurong.

The news brought by Ku Rong only slightly surprised He Li, but did not shock him too much.

Why is this the case...?

That's because he had long anticipated that extremely evil thoughts wouldn't be so easily eliminated.

If Ku Rong truly resolves this...

What business is it of his then?

Furthermore, if the evil thoughts he obtained from the divine tree were easily resolved, then the branch of the divine tree in his hand would also be unable to play its proper role.

Therefore, whether viewed from the perspective of established history or from other perspectives of speculation...

He Li had already foreseen the failure of Ku Rong.

However, he really hadn't expected that such an extremely evil thought would actually control the Heart Fire.

After all, the fire in his heart was his power.

It is also a powerful force for restraining evil thoughts.

This power... even the most suppressed evil thoughts could be inexplicably mastered. Let alone reason, probably no one in this world could have imagined such an outcome.

Of course, with Ku Rong's explanation, He Li also basically understood the situation of the extremely evil thought.

"The fire of evil?"

"Then I can understand."

"After all, the most evil thought is simply the extreme of evil!"

"Now that it controls the fire of evil, it can use the power of evil to its fullest extent, which is indeed difficult to deal with. However, the established history cannot be easily changed by it."

"So there's no need to worry about this."

"What needs to be resolved will eventually be resolved."

He Li remained calm.

Ku Rong frowned, because he understood what He Li had said, but he didn't want to just wait around.

However, even He Li, an "insider," wasn't in a hurry, and he was too lazy to urge He Li to handle the matter. He only said, "The evil thoughts have now become very powerful."

"But it has only just mastered the fire of evil."

"At this point in time, although it is powerful, it still has its limits and can be dealt with by us."

"If this continues for too long..."

Even if established history cannot be changed by it.

"That's hard to say. It might cause something else that makes it harder for us to handle this, and then lead to more unexpected things."

Ku Rong's words do make sense.

Wasn't He Li's previous tireless efforts and constant travel all aimed at gaining control of the situation?

So when he heard what Kurong said, he replied, "I know that, but now that the collective of evil thoughts has been weakened, those extremely evil thoughts are not stupid and will not easily show themselves again."

"Plus its troublesome nature..."

"Solving this won't be so easy."

"What we need to do next is keep a close eye on the changes in the world and see what it wants to do."

He Li paused slightly at this point.

After thinking for a moment, he continued, "You and I both know that the evil will not give up on eliminating me, thus completely breaking the destiny of the collective evil being destroyed."

"So even if it hides and accumulates its power, there will be times when it can't help but take the initiative to strike."

"Perhaps we can..."

"Actively help it become stronger as quickly as possible?"

Upon hearing this, Ku Rong seemed to be deep in thought.

He understood He Li's thinking. He Li's goal was probably to give the illusion that extreme evil could resolve his misconception, and then, when the other party decided to engage in direct combat...

We will deliver a fatal blow, annihilating the evil thoughts along with the entire collective entity of the world.

However, doing so carries considerable risk.

After all, that extremely evil thought is not stupid. If it discovers something is wrong or even turns the tables on them, then... their situation might become very bad.

However, it seems unlikely that such extremely evil thoughts will easily resurface now.

Keep waiting...

Ultimately, it's not quite right.

After a moment's thought, Ku Rong nodded: "I will discuss this matter with the other gods."

"If they agree, then it can be implemented."

Then he added, "Those people from later generations who came with you are not so well-behaved. They seem to be in contact with the war god Chi You and are planning something..."

"Ignore them!" He Li replied.

"Chi You's situation is special, and I'm not sure if the things related to him are established history."

"You'd better not go see it either."

"Otherwise, it's hard to say whether there will be any new variables."

"But you can keep an eye on them. My intuition tells me that those people are not only related to Chi You, the God of War, but perhaps they are also related to Chi You and the evil thoughts."

"Their understanding of established history..."

"It might even have a driving force behind it. Besides, if they are truly connected to extremely evil intentions, wouldn't letting them go unchecked be tantamount to relaxing vigilance against such intentions?"

"All we need to do is keep a close eye on them, know what they're doing, and prepare accordingly..."

"Therefore, the probability of an accident is very low."

Having heard what He Li had said, Ku Rong nodded slightly and disappeared into the void without saying another word.

Yu Ji, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly whispered after Ku Rong left, "I saw other people who came from across time searching for the Eighty-One Generals."

"They are definitely planning to take control of the eighty-one generals."

"Then try to change the future."

"So what will they do?"

She asked, and before He Li could respond, she continued, "In my opinion, their approach must be the simplest and most direct: to launch a war through the Eighty-One Generals."

"The eighty-one generals are subordinates of Chi You, the God of War, and their fighting power must be terrifying."

"Perhaps similar to gods."

"With control over these entities, those people will surely become so inflated with confidence that they will recklessly seek to benefit their ancestors and then try to make their descendants benefit as well."

"At the same time, there's no guarantee they won't try to find us, attack us, and try to change the future..."

"So?" He Li narrowed his eyes.

Yu Ji responded, "Therefore, I suspect that extremely evil thoughts might amplify this matter."

"War... has always been cruel."

"Furthermore, if the wars initiated by those people are amplified by their extreme evil intentions and cause countless lives to be affected, then everyone will feel insecure and evil intentions will grow wildly."

"At that time, the power of those aggregates of evil will most likely return to its peak."

"Even the most evil thoughts can become stronger."

"Although I'm not entirely sure..."

"But I have reason to suspect that such wicked intentions might actually exploit them and the eighty-one generals!"

After hearing Yu Ji's thoughts, He Li had to admit that her guess was highly likely, since there was no other way to reverse the emotions of the masses except through war.

If the goal is to quickly and efficiently amplify the negative emotions of the masses, war is the optimal solution.

Extreme evil will never let this path pass.

After thinking for a moment, He Li said, "Let's go, we need to discuss this with Yu Fu."

"The Shu Kingdom was a major power in this era."

"If it's a war with a limited scope..."

"The Shu Kingdom has the ability to resolve this."

"However..." He paused, then added, "However, we only told him that war might break out, and we didn't need to tell him anything more or give him any advice."

"Why?" Yu Ji pressed.

He Li shook his head: "Because of you and me, we cannot be certain whether this war is also a predetermined part of history."

"Because this era... has countless settlements, countries, or other forces that are not recorded in ancient books, and no one knows how they disappeared."

"Including the forces surrounding the Shu Kingdom."

"If we continue to observe the situation as it is..."

"Those forces, unsurprisingly, will most likely survive by relying on the gods behind them."

As he spoke, He Li frowned slightly.

"However, the problem is that these forces are not mentioned at all in the established historical records we know of, and the same is true of the ancient records of Shu Prefecture."

"And then there's the next King of Shu, Emperor Wangdi..."

"He still has absolutely no prestige. How did he manage to succeed Yu Fu as king?"

"It's hard to say whether he gained fame through this war and then began to stand out, eventually rising to the position of successor to Yu Fu."

"Therefore, we can remind the fish-woman."

"But we shouldn't get too involved."

"Because it's meaningless and could even cause the situation to deviate from our intended course..."

As He Li spoke, he used his divine power to carry Yu Ji, who was listening silently, across the boundary between the underworld and the human world, back to the territory of the Shu Kingdom on earth, and headed towards the royal city.

At this moment, the extremely evil thoughts had no idea that their wicked intentions had been completely seen through...
