World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 1963 - 890: Lanling’s Showdown with Crown Prince Motuo (Important) (2)

Chapter 1963: Chapter 890: Lanling’s Showdown with Crown Prince Motuo (Important) (2)

"But I actually think you are correct, you’ve deeply inspired me," said Crown Prince Motuo. "So I ask you a second question, between survival and freedom, which do you think is more important?"

Lanling said, "There’s a poem that goes, ’Love is precious, life is higher in price, for the sake of freedom, both can be thrown away.’

Crown Prince Motuo smiled slightly and raised his cup to drink the tea.

Lanling said, "This poem is very noble and very grand. Whether it’s the one who wrote the poem or those who practice it, they are great people, like torches illuminating the path in any world. However... ultimately, survival is more important than freedom! Neither politics nor civilization can afford romanticism!"

Crown Prince Motuo poured himself some tea and raised his cup to Lanling, saying, "Meeting you is like finding a friend late in life!"

Then, he asked, "So let me ask a third question, which stage is the Demon Race in right now, survival or freedom?"

Lanling said, "Survival, to be precise, striving for survival!"

Crown Prince Motuo bowed and said, "Thank you, Emperor Lanling!"

These words truly express endless complex emotions and secrets.

Because Lanling’s response equaled affirming the current state of the Motuo Empire, confirming all of Motuo Empire’s strategies towards the Dragon Temple at this moment, not considering Mo Tuo as part of the Demon Race’s traitors.

At this moment, no words could describe Lanling’s inner shock and amazement.

The most difficult thing in this world is to defeat someone in thought, to make another person agree with your ideas.

From the start of the conversation, Crown Prince Motuo had control over the entire rhythm.

First question, what is the ultimate goal of a civilization, survival and development, but it can be extended to survival and freedom, development is to liberate one’s body and mind.

Second question, which is more important, survival or freedom, certainly survival.

Third question, which stage is the Demon Race in now, certainly in the survival-seeking stage.

After three questions, Crown Prince Motuo completely set the tone in front of Lanling, the Motuo Empire conforms to the justice of the Demon Race, even if it has some ambiguous relations with the Dragon Temple now.

"The fourth question is a private one, you can choose not to answer," said Crown Prince Motuo.

Lanling said, "Please ask."

Crown Prince Motuo asked, "Who do you think is stronger between the Ancient Dragon and the Ancient Gods and Demons?"

Wow!

Lanling’s heart was truly astonished!

He had never seen such... such a powerful character!

This breathtaking talent, not even Tang Ren could compare.

This question alone was a fatal blow to Lanling! It even made it impossible for Lanling to recover!

Lanling thought for a while and said, "It should be the Dragon, stronger!"

There was no doubt, this was absolutely the correct answer, it couldn’t be completely negated because Lanling chose to become the Demon Emperor.

Look at the Aurora Gate, and then at the Dragon Believers organization, the Dragon Temple, Sky Holy Palace, and the ultimate power on the Moon, far more powerful than the Demon Race. And most of the time, the Demon Race is fragmented, Emperor E Tian, Emperor E Yun were just a flash in the pan.

Even in the heavens, the Dragon is somewhat more powerful than the Ancient Gods and Demons.

Then the question comes!

Yao Xing is a fusion of the wills of the Dragon and Divine Demon, so the will of the Dragon and Divine Demon must be fighting for control of the host?

So why should the more powerful Dragon lose?

Since the will of the Dragon will eventually win, why should the so-called Master of Yao Xing be the Demon Emperor and fully represent the will of the Demon Race civilization?

History has indeed proven that the will of the Dragon ultimately achieved final victory!

This is indisputable!

After Emperor E Tian destroyed the Sky Holy Palace, he suddenly disappeared without a trace on the eve of counterattacking the ultimate power of the Moon’s Dragon Temple, leaving the once-glorious Demon Empire to crumble to dust.

Emperor E Yun attempted to use star power to bombard the Sky Holy Palace, but was instead blasted to ruins by the power of the stars.

The key is, the weapon of Star Magic Power was owned by Emperor E Yun alone; only he knew he wanted to use the object to bombard the Sky Holy Palace, only he knew when to bombard.

Why, one second before Emperor E Yun bombarded the Sky Holy Palace, did the power of the stars directly hit him? Reducing Emperor E Yun and the Empire of Misfortune’s Demon Capital to ruins?

All history proves that the so-called Master of Yao Xing has become a disaster for the Demon Race.

Many things cannot be thought through carefully; thinking deeply is truly terrifying, this is the dread of detailed thinking.

Behind these words, Crown Prince Motuo didn’t reveal half a word but deeply bowed to Lanling, saying, "Thank you for your candor."

The debate concluded!

Crown Prince Motuo won, his argument was singular, the Motuo Empire represents the interests and justice of the Demon Race better than the Flame Demon Empire, Lanling couldn’t refute him.

Then he rose, and bowed to Lanling again, saying, "Thank you for your hospitality and for speaking with me so openly; farewell!"

Lanling said, "I’ll see you off!"

"No need..." said Crown Prince Motuo.

Then Lanling escorted him to the gates of Flame Demon City.

"Please stop here!" Crown Prince Motuo said, "I sincerely invite you to visit the Motuo Empire when the time is right; my father is very eager to meet with you."

"It would be an honor!" Lanling replied.

Crown Prince Motuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Emperor Lanling, please be sure to watch out for and be cautious of the Dragon Temple’s movements!"

Lanling said, "Alright, thank you!"

Crown Prince Motuo bid farewell and headed directly towards the western sea, signaling to Lanling that he directly returned north to the Motuo Empire!

...

Upon returning to Flame Demon City, Tang Ren was already waiting there.

The two were silent, neither speaking a word.

"Have you dealt with him before?" Lanling asked.

"No!" Tang Ren replied, "But... he makes me feel cheap and ordinary, his talent far surpasses mine, in every aspect."

"Indeed..." Lanling said, "Such brilliance, he is the first I’ve met in this world. He completely demolished my theories, undermined my Flame Demon Empire, proving his Motuo Empire better represents the interests and future of Demon Race civilization, making his Motuo Empire the only hope for Demon Race civilization. And crucially, I have no grounds for rebuttal!"

Tang Ren said, "To be honest, listening to him, I was momentarily shaken. My loyalty to the Flame Demon Empire and hope for you was shaken! Especially his last question, who is stronger, the Dragon or the Divine Demon?"

This world is such, once beaten in the highest nominal terms, it’s equivalent to having the tendons and bones stripped out.

Tang Ren asked, "Your Majesty, were you affected?"

Tang Ren was extremely concerned about this question; if Lanling, as the supreme master, were defeated in thought and spirit, the future would truly be hopeless.

Lanling shook his head and said, "Of course not!"

Tang Ren asked, "Why not? His words are completely indisputable, aren’t they?"

Lanling said, "I’m not in the least interested in any theory, any ideology, any ideals for revitalizing Demon Race culture. Any ideology, any theoretical weapon is merely my tool. If it suits me, I’ll use it; if not, I’ll discard it. Under my leadership, the future may see a revival of the Demon Race, but it will merely be the byproduct of my personal ambitions. For me, the goal is simply one—destroy the Dragon Temple, and anyone who stands in the way of this goal must die. As for any grand ideals or such, I apologize, those can be discussed after I’ve annihilated the Dragon Temple."

Tang Ren was stunned, his mouth wide open for several minutes before he managed to say, "Damn!"

Lanling said to Tang Ren, "You’ll be intimidated by Crown Prince Motuo because you read too much and think too much."

After a long while, Tang Ren said, "I’ve realized, only those who treat history like a wh*re can create history."

Lanling said, "Certainly, if you worship women as goddesses and place yourself in a humble position, of course it’s hard to sleep with them."

Tang Ren was silent for a moment and said again, "Damn!"
