Although you belong to the imperial court, I understand that you and I are the same kind of people. That's why I didn't intervene.
Mo Zi's face, which had been contorted with madness, was now calm and back to normal.
His gaze towards Shen Changqing became burning hot.
"Brother Shen, have you ever considered joining us You and I working together could certainly overturn this corrupt world and rebuild one free from calamities, demons, and injustice!"
>
"—Thank you for your kindness, Brother Mo!"
Shen Changqing was speechless.
He was clearly here as a lobbyist, but as he spoke, he turned into Mo Zijin trying to persuade me again. It's gotta be said, it's kinda absurd.
But.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After thinking about it carefully.
Shen Changqing found that he seemed to have no idea how to persuade Mo Zijin.
More than two hundred years ago, he wasn't quite clear about it.
From the other person's words, it could be heard that Mo Zijin held a deep resentment toward the imperial court, a hatred that rivaled even that of demons.
>
If you try to persuade someone forcefully, it will likely have the opposite effect.
But to say that I agree with Mo Zijin's solicitation would be even more laughable.

A world without demons, calamities, or injustice is simply impossible.
Here is Mo Zijin.
He seems to be going a bit overboard now.
Putting himself in the other person's shoes, Shen Changqing felt that if he were to go through the same ordeal, he might develop the same kind of sickness.
...it is none of my business.
Do not advise others to be good.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
He wouldn't try to dissuade the other person either, letting them keep thinking that way.
Hearing Shen Changqing's refusal, Mo Zijin's face showed some disappointment, but he didn't get angry and turn his back.
"Since Brother Shen hasn't made up his mind yet, I won't pressure you. I just hope that when Brother Shen has figured things out, he'll definitely come over. The door to my place will always be open to him."
"Shen understood!"
Chen Changqing nodded, he pondered for a moment, his expression serious as he spoke: "But there's one thing I hope Brother Mo will remember, no matter what, you are a member of the human race, and should always consider things from the perspective of the human race."
"Human race"
Mo Zi-jin shook his head and smiled wryly.
“Shen brother, do you think I am still considered a human”
“Defining what constitutes the human race has always been a blurry line. If you consider yourself human, and I consider you human, then you are human.”
Shen Changqing's tone was solemn.
Upon hearing this.

After a long silence, Mo Zijin finally spoke slowly: "Whether it's human or not doesn't matter anymore. I just want to build a brand new kingdom, so that those who died from the plague can rest in peace!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Stepping out of the domain, with the night wind blowing past, Shen Changqing felt a sense of being reborn.
When talking to Mo Zijin, there was always a sense of oppression.
He sympathized with the other person's situation, but he couldn't do anything to change it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The die is cast.
> Two hundred years ago, it has long become part of the past.
Mozi Jin's ideal is clearly unachievable.
A world without demons, calamities, or injustice, that is the utopia of our dreams. It can only exist in our imagination and will never appear in reality.
But.
Shen Changqing had no way to stop it, at least not now.
He can be sure.
At that time, if I had insisted on opposing it, there was absolutely no way I could have walked out of the situation peacefully. A showdown would have been unavoidable, and we would have ended up in a fierce battle.
>
Concerning strength.
Shen Changqing had no confidence in resisting Mo Zijin.
>
Even with Wei Lan's assistance from outside, at most they could only have a certain degree of confidence in escaping.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Besides.
>
Mo Zijin is not against me now. In some ways, although he dislikes the court, he has a certain fondness for me. This can ease our relationship and perhaps be of use in the future.
In view of this.
Shen Changqing didn't even have the intention of tearing his face with the other party.
At least, not now.
Upon seeing him appear, Vivian and Cheung Hung-yuen who had been waiting there for a long time, directly came out from the shadows.
"Shen Chu Mo!"
“Master Shen!”
Both of their faces showed a hint of surprise.
Just now, a surge of sinister energy erupted, making me think there would be a earth-shattering battle.
In the end.
There was no battle, and Shen Changqing came out unharmed alone.
Such a situation caught both of them off guard.
"Shen, what happened inside" Wei Lan asked first, her delicate face etched with many questions.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
Zhang Hongyuan, standing nearby, also shared the same confusion.
They were very curious to know what had happened inside. How could there be an outbreak of sinister energy without any sign of a battle
"Let's talk later!"
Shen Changqing shook his head.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Seeing this, both Wei Lan and Zhang Hongyuan didn't dare to ask any further questions.
Watching Shen Changqing's departure, Mo Zijin remained composed. In the flickering candlelight, his shadow on the ground moved slowly, as if something was hidden within it.
“You say, how can one build a world without demons, calamities, and any injustice!”
He seemed to be muttering to himself, or perhaps asking someone else.
That's all for now.
The shadow writhed again, as if a strange, guttural roar emanated from within.
Mo Zijin calmly said, "Only by overthrowing the existing corrupt world can we establish a brand new nation. Over two hundred years ago, we witnessed the brutality of demons and the hypocrisy and cruelty of the imperial court."
Whether in the eyes of demons or the imperial court, we are no different from ants.
They could have life and death power over us, and we have no way to resist. That's unfair—"
"Almost there!"
“When our strength is further developed, I will allow you to reappear. Then, we will build a new nation together, a nation of our dreams!”
"Brother Shen is a capable person. He's actually similar to us, but he's been misled by the court now and can't see things clearly for a while. Give him some more time, and he will join us. Besides, Brother Shen is also my confidante. If we rashly attack him, it would ruin our friendship!"
In the grand hall, illuminated by flickering candles, Mo Zijin spoke to himself, his cold voice echoing eerily in the darkness.
Meanwhile.
Outside the courtyard, the streets of bluestones are gradually expanding and lengthening.
There was only one main street before, but now there are several branches. The number of houses along the streets has also increased a little, as if they appeared out of thin air.
Next.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Some pitch-black houses emitted faint glimmers of light, as if someone were moving inside.
Everything and all.
Everything is progressing slowly.
With no one to stop them, the territory swallowed by Xiaqiu Mountain keeps growing larger.
Inside the tent.
Shen Changqing and a few others took their seats.
After returning, Wai-lan couldn't wait to ask him what had happened. He didn't hide anything and almost told her everything about his conversation with Mo Zi-jin, except for the part where the other party tried to recruit him.
There's no need to say anything about this.
After Shen Changqing finished speaking, the camp fell silent. Different expressions appeared on Wei Lan and Zhang Hongyuan's faces.
“Crazy, that monster is truly insane!”
Zhang Hongyuan's face was shocked.
After hearing Shen Changqing's words, he almost thought the other party was joking with him.
But.
The expert from the Town Demon Division of Guangyuan Prefecture knew very well that what the other party said was absolutely no joke.
That is to say.
A natural disaster, possessing such a powerful and monstrous ideal.
"Wei Lan frowned: 'I've heard some about the demonic chaos and natural disasters that plagued Da Qin in 132 BC. That calamity lasted for four years, finally subsiding by 136 BC.'"
"Never would I have thought that such a disaster had such a story behind it, it's truly pitiful!"
She also somewhat understood Mo Zijin's radicalism.
However, as a human, Wai-lan certainly wouldn't truly stand on the side of natural disasters and think about those things.
Zhang Hongyuan said in a deep voice, "Whether he is pitiful or not, death extinguishes the lamp. Over two hundred years ago, these things should have long since disappeared, but now he has died and refused to die, transforming into an immortal natural disaster."
According to Master Shen, that natural disaster clearly had the idea of bringing about the end of the world.
If no measures are taken to restrict it, it will surely become a huge problem in the future.
A demon who only wants to overthrow the existing world and establish a country that belongs to their own ideals is undoubtedly a pervert.
Such a natural disaster.
This is more terrifying than an ordinary natural disaster.
As for this.
Wai-lan also nodded in agreement.
What Zhang Hongyuan said was exactly what she had in mind.
This is the end of a paragraph.
When Shen Changqing heard this, his expression remained unchanged: "Natural disasters are immortal and indestructible. We have no way to deal with him now. All we can do is ask Zhang Chumo to strengthen his defenses and absolutely prevent his power from increasing significantly."
Last time, when we attacked the demons on Xiaqiu Mountain, one of them died at the hands of a natural disaster.
The natural disasters have also grown in strength because they absorbed the power of those demonic beings. However, from this perspective, we don't need to worry for now, as he will lean towards the side of the demons.
Given Mo Zijin's deep aversion to demons and fiends, they would never compromise with them like one might with a demon or fiend.
This is probably the only good news, right
Both Wallace Chan and Cheung Hung-yuen fell silent.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Indeed.
He won't side with the demons, at least guaranteeing that Mo Zijin won't team up with them to fight against the Qin Dynasty. The rest is to consider how to comprehensively suppress the growth of natural disasters, or utilize the power of natural disasters to deal with the demons.
Looking at the expressions of the two, Shen Changqing said faintly: "There's not much I can do. Although the calamity didn't kill me, he despises the court, and I haven't been able to talk to him much. The rest, I can only leave it to those above to decide."
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
It was getting late, so Shen went back to rest first. Tomorrow morning, he still had to return to his country to report.
"Sir Shen, why are you leaving in such a hurry" Zhang Hongyuan was astonished.
This is a test.
He thought the other party would stay for a few more days.
Shen Changqing shook his head: "The situation is severe now, and Shen can't stay long. I hope Zhang Chumo will understand."se note that I have only translated the content within the > tags and left the HTML tags as they are.
