Yang Fei was truly dumbfounded.
After a moment of stunned silence, he repeatedly shook his head at Zu Shen, even sneering, "Heh, that's the biggest joke I've ever heard. You protect humanity? You are destroying humanity. How many people have you killed so far?"
Zu Shen shrugged, "You mean to say that only the people on the land beneath your feet are human? You are too selfish. You should understand one thing, I protect all of humanity. Do you really think I don't know the side effects of those gene potions? I know them better than anyone. But this is a step humanity must take to evolve. And all you think about is starting a war and making everyone listen to you. Ridiculous!"
Yang Fei's eyes widened, clearly shaken by Zu Shen's words.
"Those side effects will kill them!"
Zu Shen shook his head, "Those potions will make them stronger in a short time, conquer all the monsters in a short time, and resolve the crisis of the next few decades with minimal cost. If you say I poisoned them, then I will definitely develop an antidote later!"
As he spoke, Zu Shen's expression grew more somber, and the light in his eyes became sharper!
"Even if I don't develop an antidote, the sacrifice of these people is worth it. This is true greatness, a sacrifice made for the next generation, for the next few decades, for centuries of humanity, and it is all worth it. Unlike you, who makes humans kill each other, and then forces them to fight monsters with their frail bodies, ultimately consuming several generations of lives to pacify everything. Or even worse, this will become the norm, with people constantly being born and dying prematurely! You are merely herding them; this is true cruelty!"
Zu Shen pressed forward, and Yang Fei, unable to cope, retreated repeatedly. His beliefs completely collapsed, and his eyes were filled with extreme panic.
But soon, Yang Fei still managed to swallow hard and shook his head at Zu Shen!
"Heh, you're still shaking your head? What, you still think you're righteous?" Zu Shen sneered!
"Then I won't listen to you. Being your spy is the same as being Ling Feng's dog!"
Yang Fei retorted through gritted teeth!
"Heh, so you finally admit you're Ling Feng's dog. The Heavenly Venerate you speak of is truly laughable!"
Zu Shen burst into laughter. Hearing Yang Fei directly mention Ling Feng's name truly sent Zu Shen into a frenzy!
Yang Fei stood frozen, had he really admitted it?
"With me, you can be a person, a dignified person, and even a superior person. Of course, you will have to pay a price. I have a potion here. After you take it, you will know how terrifying your potential is. Then, you will understand whether my power is superior to Ling Feng's!"
Zu Shen reached out and produced a potion.
Yang Fei instinctively dodged backward, creating distance, "I won't take it..."
"You have no choice!"
Before Yang Fei could finish speaking, Zu Shen lunged forward, grabbed Yang Fei's mouth, and with a slight force, pried it open!
Then, the potion was directly forced into Yang Fei's mouth.
Yang Fei's eyes widened, but as his Adam's apple bobbed, the potion was still swallowed.
Immediately, his entire body began to tremble violently. He collapsed on the ground, trying to vomit everything out, but it was all in vain!
Soon, Yang Fei's pupils began to change, shifting from cat-like eyes to sheep-like, then to chameleon-like, before finally returning to human eyes!
At this moment, Yang Fei felt an immense power surge within him, a power erupting from his cells, as if his potential had been fully unleashed.
"Heh, how is it? Do you feel it? You are now much stronger than a King-level monster. Even facing Ling Feng, you have the strength to fight!"
Zu Shen sneered triumphantly.
Yang Fei suddenly looked up, and the next moment, his body surged forward, and with a raise of his hand, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky.
Zu Shen's eyes narrowed slightly. He did not block the lightning, nor did he dodge Yang Fei's charging form. Instead, he extended one hand and once again grabbed Yang Fei by the neck!
Yang Fei's eyes widened. He was once again lifted by Zu Shen, feeling the same powerlessness as the first time!
"You, you hid your strength?!" Yang Fei exclaimed in disbelief.
Zu Shen, however, shook his head with a cold smile, "I told you, you would know. I am much stronger than Ling Feng, I just don't want to kill him yet. As for you, your potential has only just been stimulated a little, and you're already getting ahead of yourself? You're even preparing to attack me. It's simply laughable!"
*Slap!*
Zu Shen threw Yang Fei to the ground and continued, "Remember, this power was bestowed upon you by me. If I want to take it back, it's very simple. But if you listen to me, when all this is over, the War God Corps will be yours, and the entire Great Hua can be yours!"
Yang Fei coughed a couple of times and stood up, "Cough, cough, so, you still want me to be your dog?!"
Zu Shen sneered and shook his head, "You can understand it that way, but I won't keep you as a dog forever. By Ling Feng's side, you will be a dog for life. You choose."
With that, Zu Shen turned and left. The next moment, the yellow sand swirled again, and Zu Shen's figure had already disappeared.
Yang Fei watched as the warriors around him gradually got back on their feet, as if he had just had a nightmare.
And as Yang Fei subconsciously adjusted his disguise, Zu Shen's voice echoed in his mind, "From now on, as long as you concentrate, you can contact me. Use your divine sense to transmit your thoughts to me. Even if I'm on the other side of the Earth, I can receive it!"
Yang Fei's eyes widened, "What's going on?! How did you do that?"
"Heh, because the potion also contained my genes, sensory genes. It's like uploading your consciousness to the internet, and I am the host!" Zu Shen's cold laugh echoed in his mind again!
"Then, doesn't that mean you're monitoring me all the time? This kind of power, heh, it's truly ridiculous! Not only do I have to be your dog now, but I have to be your puppet too? What you said earlier was like farting!" Yang Fei gritted his teeth.
He had never dreamed that Zu Shen could achieve such a level!
"Don't say that. I won't bother you on a daily basis. Just try your best to return to Ling Feng's side. When the time comes, I will tell you what to do!"
Zu Shen left these words behind and then there was no more sound.
No matter how Yang Fei called out, there was no response from the other side.
However, Yang Fei still felt a sense of unease. Was he being monitored?
Did that mean Zu Shen knew his thoughts at all times?
He shouldn't!
Yang Fei didn't believe anyone could achieve that level. If they could, Zu Shen wouldn't have to expend so much effort!
