Jiang Shinian didn't care about the few henchmen behind him; at this moment, he was focused on the system's prompts.
"mask?"
Jiang Shinian sensed the Nija mask placed in his personal space and it did seem to be somewhat different.
"It seems to have been strengthened quite a bit. It looks like it has gained a lot from the energy storm created by this black energy."
Jiang Shinian nodded, but he didn't have time to sense things carefully at the moment. Given the current situation, the main characters were probably about to appear.
"The ultimate mission?"
Jiang Shinian stroked his chin, his eyes flashing with a blood-red light.
"It seems the system is asking me to choose my future direction."
Jiang Shi Nian's gaze swept downwards.
The first option – Ancient Revival.
Jiang Shi Nian glanced at it twice and immediately grasped the meaning of the system.
That is, he has to lead seven people!
Despite the exaggerated description of the system, the task itself seems the simplest: just release the other seven demons.
However, putting aside the question of releasing those seven foolish...brothers and sisters, it's impossible for the righteous forces to sit idly by. Even if they were to release all seven demons, the idea of them joining hands to build a better new world is basically impossible.
Of his brothers and sisters, apart from Ximu and Basha, the other demons were not particularly intelligent to begin with. After countless years of being in hell, their wisdom had been worn away to almost nothing.
The mountain demon, Bogang, is constantly accompanied by hunger and only knows how to eat and sleep.
He only wanted to destroy the Moon Demon who had sealed him away—Zhou Lan.
Earth demons, water demons...
Arrogance, conceit, greed...
One after another, evil and negative words are used to describe them without seeming out of place at all.
If he were to lead these teammates, it wouldn't be like a Glory King leading a few Diamonds and Stars, but rather like him leading seven super minions to fight the main characters. Wouldn't he get hammered on the head by Jackie Chan and the others?
Moreover, when they used super minions as an example, they said that super minions should be told to get out of the way.
Because the super soldiers will faithfully help Jiang Shinian punch the enemy again and again, but what about these seven demons? Jiang Shinian protects them in the early stages, but once their intelligence recovers a little, will they be obedient? Even if they don't recover their intelligence, they probably won't obediently listen to Jiang Shinian.
He doesn't have the ultimate contract right now, so he can't completely control them. Releasing them will at most attract the attention of the main characters and divert some of the righteous energy's attention.
Even when those demons act recklessly, they might implicate Jiang Shinian, so after a little thought, Jiang Shinian abandoned the first option.
Aside from that option, Jiang Shi Nian hesitated between the second and third options.
In fact, these two choices have many similarities, but they are fundamentally different.
The difference lies in the fact that the second option allows him to establish a so-called yin-yang cycle centered on himself. Literally, it means he is unwilling to continue fighting with the immortal gods. Therefore, breaking this cycle and becoming the great demon king representing the black energy, becoming the shadow of this world, is just entering the next cycle.
At that time, a new force will be born to contend with him.
They are not immortal gods, they are immortal gods.
At that time, his situation will be like that of the evil dragon in his previous life, who was to be killed by the dragon-slaying hero, and he will eventually be annihilated.
The cycle of Yin and Yang continues endlessly.
However, as long as he can withstand the repeated counterattacks of righteousness, it will be quite good. At that time, he will be the only dark side of this world and will gain a considerable degree of freedom.
However, in this process, in addition to facing the backlash from the righteous forces, he also has to guard against other competitors from the dark forces, and even those who try to harm him in order to keep himself the only choice for the dark forces.
Then, they gradually rule over the dark side of the world, establishing a new yin-yang cycle. The whole process is extremely tedious and complex, and the final outcome is simply becoming the 'chosen one' as described in the third option.
The third option differs from the second only in the final outcome: one leads to becoming the chosen one, while the other leads to becoming the ruler of the world.
Before the final outcome arrives, the two choices are actually progressing at roughly the same pace. Both involve confronting the protagonist group and betraying those foolish demons. The dark forces are unaware that he intends to control her, so they will certainly provide him with ample support, and as long as he maintains his resistance against the righteous forces, he will receive even more.
As for humans?
Jiang Shinian shook his head dismissively.
Once he takes care of the main characters and his brothers and sisters, humans are nothing more than an old woman blowing her nose, easily dealt with.
Since it's all so troublesome anyway, why doesn't he consider the third option?
Jiang Shinian's eyes flickered.
Unlike the other competitors in the dark energy field, he wasn't confined to this world.
On the contrary, he has a system supporting him, which allows him to travel through countless worlds. When he gains power from other worlds and strengthens himself, it seems that it is not impossible for him to control this world, subdue the black and righteous energies, and transcend the cycle of yin and yang.

"World travel ticket... It seems the system was worried I wouldn't be able to keep going with these tasks, so it left me a way out."
Jiang Shi Nian frowned.
He knows his own situation best. At this stage, apart from the power of the twelve talismans, some abilities granted by the system, some random little magic he learned on his own, and the ability to summon shadow ninjas, he has no other ability to contend with righteousness.
"Uprightness..."
A scarlet light flashed in Jiang Shinian's eyes.
Whether it was the ancient age of demons or the present age of humans.
Righteousness and steadfastness have always chosen humanity, and have never changed their minds.
Eternal Gods, Saints, Righteous Sorcerers...
In order to fight against the demons, righteousness created a lot of power, and now, this old thing has created the protagonist group to provide power at any time to seal the demons.
Jiang Shi Nian looked through the glass of the building at the distant land.
After being resurrected, Jiang Shinian could clearly sense the presence of the black energy.
It hovered around me, touching me intimately, as if asking if I wanted it.
Jiang Shinian even felt that if he nodded, endless black energy would probably flow into his body.
"No need for now."
Jiang Shinian shook his head; he could feel another force rapidly approaching.
Chapter 93: Let Valmont leave?
He turned his attention back to the system notification.
Resist the main characters, escape immediately, and destroy the Ugly Kingdom.
The three choices offer vastly different rewards.
"Time pauses!"
Jiang Shinian's eyes lit up, and the scarlet light suddenly surged.
"It's just a confrontation with the main characters, so we can consider it."
He nodded, deciding to keep this option for the time being.
Because we don't know what this time pause actually is.
Skills? Titles? One-time use items?
After making so many choices, Jiang Shinian also discovered something: it was impossible to guess what kind of reward it was just from the name; the name was only one aspect.
Therefore, he lowered his gaze.
"Escape?"
Jiang Shinian's eyes lit up again, but when he saw the reward, he immediately lost interest.
"Destroy the ugly country..."
Jiang Shinian grabbed a large pillow from the side, leaned it against his back, and fell into deep thought.
"An enemy of justice?"
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Shinian shook his head.
That enemy of justice should be an extremely rare and precious reward, but the details are too difficult to achieve.
This is practically forcing righteous energy to unleash its full power, no way...

"Ugh……"
Jiang Shi Nian let out a long sigh.
He originally planned to make a strategic transfer, and even refused the blessing of dark energy for this reason, for fear that the righteous energy would give the protagonist group an even bigger advantage. But now, for this reward, he has no choice but to go toe-to-toe with Jackie Chan.
But it's alright, he also wants to see just how much Jackie Chan has been enhanced.
“That… Holy Lord…”
Just as Jiang Shinian was pondering how to fight Jackie Chan and his crew without losing face, Valmont weakly spoke up from the side.
"Ok?"
Jiang Shinian's enormous dragon head moved slightly, sweeping its gaze over.
"Uh……"
The immense pressure made Valon pause, but an even greater force within him enabled him to speak: "Holy Lord, congratulations on your successful resurrection. You are no longer confined to the statue. So... shouldn't we talk about our reward now?"
Valon's voice started out very faint, but as he spoke, it became clearer and more distinct.
He brought this statue here and did so much for it all, all for the sake of the treasure that the Holy Lord had promised him—the Golden Rooster King's treasure!
Jiang Shi Nian narrowed his eyes.
Instantly, the flickering magic circles around them were swallowed by darkness.
