Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

"The idea that the chosen ones 'fight for their country' is itself a glorified notion. Not everyone is a selfless hero, so the checks and balances that national interests place on the chosen ones are only temporary. The true test of their character will come when their personal interests far outweigh those of the nation."

"But often, human nature is the most vulnerable to test."

Guan Shanyue said earnestly, "This strange move was very clever."

"What they want to dismantle is not the cooperative relationship between the chosen ones, but the bond of interests between the chosen ones and the countries behind them."

"When the chosen ones who charge into battle for their country and its citizens are no longer solely devoted to their nation and its people, our chances of winning will reach an all-time low."

Guan Shanyue's expression became more serious than ever before.

The wins or losses of one country may be insignificant in the face of the entire interstellar space.

But if too many countries lose, the winning countries become a drop in the ocean of space...

The outcome at that time will no longer be determined by the Chosen Ones' wins or losses in the supernatural tales.

"Therefore, the Weird has been using trickery from beginning to end to pave the way for future interstellar conquest. If a series of countries lose, and the Weird conquers their planets and territories, it will encircle the victorious countries. Only then will it be truly irreversible."

As soon as Guan Shanyue said this, the entire air command center fell silent except for the sound of breathing.

"But..." Qin Shi hesitated, "I'm afraid other countries haven't thought of this and are still thinking about confronting and competing with us."

Guan Shanyue nodded, praising Qin Shi's strategic vision.

"That's right."

Guan Shanyue analyzed as he paced back and forth.

"Xingzhuo has won several rounds in a row in the Strange Tales, and her strength is beyond doubt. She is indeed a worthy opponent for the Strange. But we have had legendary chosen ones before, so I've been wondering, what is the reason for the Strange targeting Xingzhuo so much?"

Now I understand. Weird was deliberately creating a confrontational situation with Xingzhuo, so that in the eyes of other countries, Xingzhuo would become an extremely special figure.

Firstly, they would believe that Xingzhuo's strength is powerful enough, and such a Xingzhuo would be either an opportunity or a threat to them.

Secondly, if their strange strength truly becomes unstoppable, they might very well "betray their master for personal gain," sacrificing Xingzhuo and Tianxia to secure their survival.

Su Anyu became even more anxious upon hearing this.

"From this perspective, while the uncanny tactic is risky, its chances of success are extremely high! The interstellar world today is different from ancient China. In ancient China, even though wars were frequent, we were all ultimately human! Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts! Whether in supernatural tales or the real world, we can never truly achieve cooperation!"

Guan Shanyue affirmed Su Anyu's statement.

"So, whether Xingzhuo chooses to cooperate or not in this round, it won't mean much to us, and you could even say it won't benefit us."

Anger flashed across Su Anyu's face.

They both despise other countries that cannot see reality clearly and hate the cunning that has thoroughly schemed against Tianxia.

"But there's no rush. Judging from Xingzhuo's expression, she should have already come up with a plan."

Guan Shanyue turned her gaze to Shen Xingzhuo, whose breathing had become steady in the sky.

In any case, at least this time she wasn't forcing herself to endure the danger.

……

Shen Xingzhuo was not actually asleep; she was just resting with her eyes closed.

Like Guan Shanyue, she realized early on that this skill should not be used casually.

However, in Shen Xingzhuo's view, it is not entirely unusable.

If used properly, the chosen ones from other countries will become the sharpest blade in her hand.

It's the kind of situation where you don't need to worry about whether they live or die.

Although this way of thinking is cold, it doesn't matter when it comes to life and death.

With that thought in mind, Shen Xingzhuo turned over with peace of mind, pulled the blanket over her head, and waited for the sunrise the next day.
