"But so what?"

Valon's lips curled up slightly, revealing a self-deprecating yet resolute smile.

In his eyes, fortune favors the bold, and this might be the perfect opportunity for him to turn his life around and reach the pinnacle of success!

He was originally the boss of a mafia organization with so many underlings, how could he not want more?

Having considered this, he raised his head and straightened his chest, saying loudly, "I agree, Holy Lord."

"Hehehe..." Jiang Shinian's deep, hoarse laughter followed.

The two, one dragon and one man, looked at each other and laughed. Their laughter was like the hooting of owls and the cawing of crows, conveying an indescribable tacit understanding and the smug satisfaction of a successful conspiracy.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shinian's dragon head was slowly enveloped by the hidden power of the snake talisman, as if its true form was hidden by an invisible black veil, until it completely disappeared.

In fact, Jiang's thoughts over ten years were almost identical to Valon's conjectures.

The world we live in today, which seems peaceful, is like a scale that has quietly tipped toward the side of righteousness.

Although the Yin and Yang energies have been dormant for many years, the stability and prosperity of human society, the rapid development of science and technology, and the flourishing of civilization have undoubtedly provided fertile ground for nourishing the positive energy, making it increasingly stronger.

In contrast, the black aura resembled a caged beast imprisoned in a dark corner, with no hope of ever escaping.

Jiang Shi Nian knew that only by allowing chaos, war, and violence—elements symbolizing the dark side of the world—to proliferate unchecked could the dark energy grow like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

But he dared not act rashly, because if he personally intervened and stirred up trouble, the righteous camp would definitely do everything in its power to give the protagonist group a cheat code.

Take this recent encounter as an example: a half-revived immortal god in armor suddenly appeared and nearly rendered him powerless to fight back.

What about next time?

Is it to endow the protagonist group with extraordinary wisdom, allowing them to anticipate the enemy's moves; or to directly awaken an ancient being that has been sleeping for thousands of years with unfathomable power, such as the Lope statue that protects the world?

Just thinking about it sends chills down Jiang Shinian's spine.

Moreover, the remnant soul of Narope is sealed within his body, like a time bomb that could explode at any moment, plunging him into utter ruin.

During this sensitive period, he absolutely did not want to meet with him.

Considering this, sending Valon to various countries to sow discord among them would undoubtedly be the best course of action.

It is incredibly easy to exploit the innate human greed to incite conflict between nations.

Is it naive to think that someone is without desires or wants?

In this dog-eat-dog world, falling behind means being bullied and at the mercy of others. When other countries rise to power, in their pursuit of hegemony, they will ruthlessly suppress the weak, turning them into vassals and wantonly plundering their resources.

If you don't want to become prey, the only way is to fight back. Whether you go with the flow or take the initiative, there are ways to survive.

Jiang was certain that even if Vallon only managed to incite a few countries to turn against the United States, the rest of the countries would seize the opportunity to follow suit and deliver the final blow.

After all, the law does not punish the masses. Everyone is besieging the Ugly Country, so why not take advantage of the situation and do something about it?

That would mark the beginning of global chaos. A sly glint flashed in Jiang Shinian's eyes, as if he foresaw the chaotic battle to come.

Furthermore, sending Vallon abroad to cause trouble was also a key part of Jiang's grand plan over the next ten years.

In the current situation, Dad's statement "humanity is justice" may be blunt, but it hits the nail on the head.

Jiang's rebuttal at that time was nothing more than a sophistry aimed at gaining an advantage through verbal sparring and misleading the public.

After all, it costs nothing to just talk, and if you can win over one or two people, it's a sure-fire way to make money.

Valon was indeed cunning and resourceful, but with his own strength alone, he was ultimately like an ant trying to shake a tree; at best, he could only be the fuse that ignited the powder keg.

This vast world holds many powerful forces that Jiang can harness and utilize for ten years.

The ruthless and unpredictable black magic wizards under Daolong's command are all highly skilled and adept at manipulating dark magic, making them a formidable force.

Furthermore, the eight evil forces represented by Jiang Zemin over the past ten years have a far-reaching reputation and have intimidated the world.

Even more mysterious creatures lurk in the shadows, strange and unpredictable, regarded by the world as ominous and despised. They may possess the art of manipulating souls or be proficient in bizarre spells.

Once they appear in the world, they will surely cause chaos and turmoil. In Jiang Shinian's grand blueprint, these forces all play a crucial role and are indispensable.

Chapter 132 Releasing the Demon?

Jiang's ultimate goal for ten years is to ascend to the throne of the world's ruler, reign supreme, and dominate the universe.

He knew perfectly well that relying solely on his own courage and brute force to fight alone, even if he exhausted all means to travel to other worlds and absorb diverse powers, would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Only by embracing all rivers and streams, bringing all available forces under one's command and turning them into one's own, can one gradually accumulate advantages and build an unbreakable foundation for hegemony.

The first priority is to overthrow the rule of righteousness and let the dark forces behind it burn like wildfire and sweep across the globe.

The most effective way to make the dark energy grow rapidly in a short period of time is to give birth to a new demon.

The sudden emergence of the new demons is like a shot in the arm for the dark world, filling the gaps in combat power while also allowing the forces of darkness to rise.

But Jiang Shinian also knew that the righteous forces would not sit idly by and would surely rise up to fight against him.

"Let's wait quietly for this small cycle to end. Only then, with the counterattack of the dark energy, can my plan be successfully implemented."

Jiang Shi Nian pondered to himself, his brows unconsciously furrowing into a deep frown.

Now that he has some free time, the more he thinks about it, the more suspicious he feels. It's as if he's caught in a fog, with many doubts lingering in his mind.

Logically speaking, the balance of Yin and Yang is an ironclad law governing the world, which has been in constant flux for thousands of years.

Jiang Shinian could understand why the righteous faction was eager to eliminate him, after all, he was one of the eight great demons, like a Damocles' sword hanging over the heads of the righteous faction.

If it is not eliminated, the righteous spirit will not be at peace. Only by completely defeating it can we consolidate our rule, regain control of the world, and suppress the evil spirit back into the abyss.

Therefore, having narrowly escaped being sealed away by Jackie Chan, Jiang Shinian was certain that the righteous forces would make a comeback, unleashing a new wave of bloodshed.

The problem is that in this small cycle, only Jiang Nianshi was resurrected, so the situation should have been one-sided.

Why would the righteous cause spare no expense to empower Jackie Chan to the point of near invincibility, and even allow his father to unleash such terrifying and heaven-defying magic?

Jiang closed his eyes and recalled the fierce battle scene. Jackie Chan seemed to be possessed by a god, and every move he made had the power to destroy the world.

The old man was surrounded by surging magical power. As he chanted incantations, the world changed color, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

If it weren't for the immense power bestowed by the system, which allowed him to confront Jackie Chan head-on, break through his attack, and render his father's magic ineffective, he would probably have already been beheaded and imprisoned.

"That shouldn't be the case."

Jiang Shi Nian muttered to himself, filled with suspicion.

Although righteousness currently holds the upper hand, only one demon has appeared so far, so the balance of power should be two weak against two strong.

But reality was quite the opposite. The righteous forces not only sent two people to besiege him, but also went all out, frantically adding cheat codes to their own side.

In contrast, the black energy was merely slightly enhanced by the power of the twelve talismans. The disparity between the two was enormous, which was truly illogical.

"and many more!"

Jiang Shi Nian's mind raced. He suddenly raised his hand, and a mask appeared in his palm with a flash of light, landing steadily in his hand.

The mask seemed to possess a spirit; the moment it appeared, it emitted a strong aura of malevolence, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.

The mask is grotesque and terrifying, with two horns on its head, resembling the horns of a demon, glaring angrily.

His face was a deep, agate-like red, crystal clear, with a faint, eerie glow; his eyes were like deep pools overflowing with blood, flashing with a blinding red light.

The black aura surrounding him resembled a black python, coiling and hissing, adding to his eerie and sinister aura.

Undoubtedly, this is a rare treasure transformed from the fall of a powerful being, and is of incomparably precious.

Jiang Shinian suddenly realized that the system must have taken advantage of his resurrection to absorb the boundless black energy and use the opportunity to temper and strengthen the mask, transforming it completely.

Not only did its power increase significantly, but it was also completely imprinted with his aura, becoming one with him in spirit.

After this enhancement, the number of Shadow Ninjas increased exponentially, and their strength also rose accordingly, already possessing the imposing aura of small demons.

Jiang finally figured out the key to it after ten years.

From the perspective of righteousness, although the main characters have their father and Jackie Chan to back them up, they are, after all, human beings with mortal bodies and limited strength.

In contrast, Jiang Shi Nian, as one of the eight great demons, was renowned and exuded an aura of dominance.

This time, he even wields a fully revived ghost mask, making his strength unfathomable.

In comparison, from the perspective of the righteous forces, it is actually a situation of two strong against two weak. In order to ensure that there is no chance of failure, they will naturally go all out to give Jackie Chan a boost and strive for a decisive victory.

Jiang Shi Nian felt increasingly frightened as he thought about it, the perilous situation he was in at that time seemed to be right before his eyes.

His original intention was to avoid trouble whenever possible. If the system hadn't forced him to confront the main characters and make predetermined choices, he would have preferred to hide and flee to another place as soon as he was resurrected. Why would he have actively provoked such trouble?

Fortunately, the system had anticipated this and prepared the incredible reward of "time stop" in advance, which was like a lifeline, helping him to escape danger and turn the crisis into safety.

"Hiss—" Jiang Shinian gasped, his back soaked with cold sweat, as if he had just returned from a brush with death.

This review has made him even more determined that he must be more cautious and meticulous in his future actions, and never again act rashly or underestimate his opponents, lest he repeat the same mistakes.

"In this ever-changing world, this stubborn little cycle woven by righteousness is like an impenetrable fence, firmly restricting the direction of the situation. But what kind of ingenious plan can be used to completely break it?"

Jiang Shinian stood with his hands behind his back, his posture upright. His tightly furrowed brows resembled solemn mountains, and his deep eyes were filled with turbulent thoughts, like ripples spreading across a still pool. He murmured to himself, unconsciously falling into deep thought.

In my mind, countless ideas are like a school of fish, fleeting yet coming one after another.

"Perhaps we could try releasing the remaining demons to distract the scorching firepower of the righteous forces?"

The idea had barely formed when, like a flickering candle flame, it was instantly extinguished by a gust of rational wind. Jiang Shinian slowly shook his head, rejecting this seemingly feasible strategy.

Looking back, Lope cunningly used the grand banner of sealing demons as a means to find a loophole in the world's rules.

Like a cunning fox sneaking into an unguarded treasure trove, righteousness has run rampant and grown wildly over the past nine hundred years, taking deep root in the earth and flourishing into the sky, firmly controlling the world's structure and destiny.

Given this stable situation, simply releasing a few demons rashly will not resolve the predicament at its root.

Instead, it's like recklessly adding a few handfuls of dry firewood to a raging fire; it will only make this annoying cycle spin like an out-of-control top, endlessly and madly. In the end, it's just a short-term measure that treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

Chapter 133 Valon is acting like a dog again.

"Forget it, let's just wait for Valon to make his move. I'm all too familiar with the innate and deeply buried greed in human nature."

Jiang Shinian slightly raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the void, falling upon the distant mortal world. He stroked his chin, pondered for a long time, and then slowly uttered this resolute statement.

That tone was like that of a wise man who had seen through the complexities of human nature amidst the dust of time.

"It's human nature. When substantial profits are revealed to the world like glittering jewels, how can those with selfish desires easily suppress their restless hearts? It won't be long before waves rise and things start to stir."

He was determined to use Valon as a sharp pawn to subtly stir up trouble among nations, deliberately igniting suspicion and conflict, and ultimately setting off a massive global civil war.
