The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022: I’m Going to Collect the Corpse and Take the Opportunity to Kill

Carson Flores remained silent.

Once the most glorious heartland of the Human Race, the Central Divine Continent had now become such a chaotic place, a fact that truly elicited a sigh.

The Cultivators had been defeated. As a result, the ordinary humans living throughout the Central Divine Continent naturally suffered misfortune. Over tens of thousands of years, the population of the Central Divine Continent might have dwindled to one-tenth of what it had been; even the occupiers of the major cities had frequently changed, and the common people suffered immensely.

As the middle-aged man had said, it was not that they did not want to leave, did not want to change their living environment. Those who had the ability to flee had long since done so. Those who remained were the ones who lacked the means to escape, and could almost be said to be waiting for death—whenever it came, the suffering would end.

”The flags over the city’s heads change with each new ruler, each performing in turn...”

Carson Flores sighed and finally asked, ”You mentioned that the corpses of the Cultivator couple are still hanging on the city wall?”

”Yes.”

The middle-aged man answered softly, ”The Demon Race leader said that if anyone dares collect the bodies, he will kill that person’s entire family, not sparing a single one. If someone secretly collects the bodies and he cannot find who did it, he will randomly kill one thousand people. No one dares to help them; their bodies are still hanging on the east gate wall, alas, they were truly good people...”

Carson Flores asked, ”What kind of demon is this Demon Race leader? Is it in a human form, or a Demonic Beast form?”

The middle-aged man replied, ”Half-Demon form, a human body with a Green Wolf head...”

Half-Demon, does that count as a successful transformation?

Carson Flores turned his head to look at Lilianna Norman, who calmly replied, ”True Form Realm. Without a perfect transformation, it results in a Half-Demon state. Once he enters the Great Demon Realm, the wolf head will transform into a human head, retaining only a characteristic feature of the Demon Race. There are many such Half-Demons.”

True Form Realm, that is, akin to a Cultivator in the Divinity Transformation Stage?

That strength was quite formidable. After all, in the stable Misrds State, the City Lords under the banner of the Thousand Swords Sect were generally at the Divinity Transformation Stage. Even among so many cities under Mount Kahdas, the City Lords were usually in the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Hollow Void cultivators or Great Demons typically didn’t have the energy to serve as City Lords. With such strength, they were sufficient to found their own sects or live comfortably without exerting themselves.

After getting a clear answer, Carson Flores thanked the man, then turned and left, heading in the direction of Greown City.

Lilianna Norman said softly, ”Are you planning to collect their bodies?”

Carson Flores nodded, ”Yes, and I’ll kill a few people while I’m at it.”

After a pause, Carson Flores turned his head and smiled, ”Although you’re traveling with me, you can hardly be considered a partner. Everyone has different identities, and naturally, different attitudes. You can just watch; there’s no need for you to intervene.”

Lilianna Norman pursed her lips, ”You have now been recognized by the Emperor Seal as the new Human Emperor. How do you see the relationship between the Human Race and the Demon Race or rather, what are your thoughts on the future of the Human Race and the Demon Race?”

Carson Flores chuckled, ”Regardless, I think it shouldn’t be such chaos. There should be some rules governing both the Human and Demon races.”

Lilianna Norman asked, slightly surprised, ”Rules? Isn’t your goal to eradicate the Demon Race and allow the Human Race to rule over the Barbarian Wilderness?”

Carson Flores shook his head, ”I hadn’t thought of that.”

Lilianna Norman asked, ”Why? Isn’t every member of the Human Race, or rather, every Human Emperor, striving for this goal?”

Carson Flores shook his head, ”First, the Human Emperor strives for the survival of humanity. His emergence is mostly to resolve crises and save the Human Race, not to create crises or annihilate the Demon Race.”

”Secondly, the Demon Race and the Human Race have coexisted for tens of thousands of years. Honestly, who can truly eradicate the other? Even an Immortal might not be able to do so. After all, the Barbarian Wilderness is too vast.”

Carson Flores said calmly, ”If, and I mean if, I had the power to set the rules...”

”I would designate several states as lands for the Human Race, and several for the Demon Race, forbidding interaction and crossing between them. Then I would set aside one state as a coexistence zone where both races could go, to live, trade, and coexist peacefully. In this state, I would issue an ironclad rule for peace that both races must obey. Whoever violates it, dies!”

Lilianna Norman’s eyes shone as she stared at Carson Flores, ”You want the Human and Demon races to coexist?”

Carson Flores nodded, ”Existence is reasonable. Since the Human and Demon races exist in this world and have for so many millennia, it’s incorrect to say who owns this world. Moreover, in terms of Cultivation, the paths eventually converge, so why not coexist?”

”The Barbarian Wilderness is vast, with many unexplored territories, so there isn’t a resource or survival crisis. In that case, why not coexist and develop peacefully?”

Carson Flores, seeing Lilianna Norman’s stunned expression, chuckled, ”Of course, these are just my personal thoughts. This premise must be supported by the power to enforce these rules; otherwise, everything I’ve said is just a joke...”

Lilianna Norman shook her head, her expression a complex mix of emotions.

”You are the Human Emperor...”

Carson Flores laughed, ”Does the Demon Emperor necessarily have to aim to destroy the Human Race? Does the Human Emperor definitely have to aim to destroy the Demon Race? If they could coexist peacefully, why couldn’t the Demon Emperor and Human Emperor sit together, drink tea, and play chess?”
