Evil God? My servants are players!

At the lavish banquet, even Kuku Kaka ate with gusto, his mouth greasy with oil.

On the contrary, it was just babbling and didn't seem to have much of an appetite.

"What's wrong with you? This food is so delicious, why aren't you eating it? Or did you secretly eat something even better?!"

Kukuka's mouth was stuffed full of chicken, and he spoke in a muffled voice.

"Nothing, just thinking about some things," he said, babbling on and on.

"What's wrong with you? This isn't like you at all."

"Didn't you say you wanted to be an adventurer killer before? You were such an idiot back then."

Kuku swallowed the meat in his mouth and said.

"Yeah, I was really naive back then. I didn't have to think about anything. Now I feel like being a fool wasn't so bad."

She muttered dejectedly, then suddenly changed the subject and asked Kukukaka a question.

"Kukukaka, tell me, is it better to be a carefree goblin or a wise sage who sees through everything?"

"Is there even a question? Of course, it's better to be a wise man."

"Really? What if this wise man discovers that he and his people are merely animals kept in captivity?"

"Of course they'll resist, is there even a question?"

"What if the being that is being kept harbors no ill will towards the wise men and their race? And what if the resistance of the wise men and their race is insignificant in its eyes?"

Kukukaka was successfully stumped by Kukukaka's babbling.

Then Kukuka put down the chicken leg in his hand, thought for a while, and then said:

"I don't know. But if I had to choose, I would give my life for freedom."

"But if the person who keeps you is very good to you and doesn't ask anything of you, would you still choose that path?"

"How to choose? I, Kukukaka, was born the bravest goblin. I was born yearning for freedom and will never be trapped in a cramped corner."

Kukukaka seemed to have been stimulated by the garbled words as well. After thinking for a moment, she replied:

"Do you still remember your original dream of becoming an adventurer assassin?"

"My original dream was to go to the surface of the earth. There are no walls or ceilings there! That's true freedom!"

In response to Kuku Kaka's answer, Jiligulu rolled his eyes at Kuku Kaka.

"We're goblins born in the dungeons, how could we possibly reach the surface?"

"I don't care! If I say it's possible, then it's possible!"

Our evil god was naturally listening to the conversation between the chattering and the clattering.

To be honest, aside from the fact that Gigli evolved too quickly, Shen Yuan wasn't surprised by her thoughts.

This can be considered the eruption of long-standing conflicts.

From the time players captured goblins as pets, to the Hyacinth ritual that educated and instilled ideology in goblins, and finally to Shen Yuan's corruption that led to the evolution of goblins.

This series of events allowed Jirigulu to see through reality and glimpse the future. She and her people would be kept as captives. Moreover, the unknown and terrifying aspects of this situation sent chills down Jirigulu's spine.

Perhaps, fundamentally speaking, Shen Yuan was kind to the goblins. He taught them, gave them wisdom, and provided them with food.

In reality, goblins don't know who enlightened them, who gave them food, or who treated them kindly.

Moreover, objectively speaking, Shen Yuan was brainwashing the goblins and forcing them to mutate through pollution.

As for Shen Yuan's opinion on this matter?

His assessment was that the goblins were now like meat on a chopping board, sitting back and watching.

Shen Yuan only needs goblins to provide emotional energy; his kindness towards goblins is to maintain his own humanity.

Therefore, whatever the goblins are like, it has nothing to do with Shen Yuan.

Even if they riot and die as a result, Shen Yuan can resurrect them and let them continue to provide Shen Yuan with emotional energy in their proper positions.

"No, no, stop. How can you think like that? Is your humanity too low?" Shen Yuan muttered.

However, this is indeed the case, and the root cause of the current situation is that Shen Yuan wanted to deal with goblins in a more humane way.

But now is the time; Giligulu has enough wisdom to decide the future of herself and her people.

Shen Yuan planned to talk to Jiligulu right now.

While chatting away with Kukukaka, I suddenly felt my heart start racing and my breathing quicken.

She also became more sensitive to her surroundings, and realized that something had descended upon her.

A line of wriggling text suddenly appeared in the chattering.

Although Jiligulu didn't recognize the script, she inexplicably understood its meaning.

[Gibberish. I want to talk to you.]

After understanding the meaning of the words, she swallowed hard. She instantly realized what the words meant.

Before she could even babble in response, the words in front of her began to wriggle and transform into another sentence.

[As you suspected, I am the one behind it all.]

I understand your dilemma. Now, I'll give you three choices.

[I. All goblins, including yourself, abandon wisdom and return to that carefree and foolish era.]

[Second, you and a few other goblins who have successfully evolved will retain their intelligence, while the rest of the goblins will remain foolish.]

[III. Bring wisdom to all goblins.]

[Now tell me your choice.]

The sudden appearance of strange text and the three despairing options made Jiligulu break out in a cold sweat.

She frantically racked her brains, trying to understand what was happening and the meaning of the three options.

But her racing mind seemed to be stuck in a vicious cycle; she kept going back and forth between the three options, unable to choose the correct answer.

Her breathing became faster and faster, and even Kukukaka beside her noticed something was wrong.

"What's wrong with you?" Kuku asked, shaking his gurgling body.

Kukukaka's movements directly interrupted Jiligulu's train of thought and rescued him from getting stuck in a rut.

Coming to his senses, he mumbled something and looked around in confusion.

The tribespeople were enjoying the feast, chatting, laughing, and playing around, looking very happy.

But seeing this, Jiligulu became even more confused.

Seeing this, Kukukaka continued to ask, "What's wrong with you? Is there a problem? Why don't you tell me?"

Kukukaka's words struck Jiligulu's mind like a heavy hammer.

"Yes, why should it be up to you to decide?"

So, in a tentative, chattering voice, he asked Shen Yuan, "Can I let the goblins make the decision together?"

Shen Yuan was quite surprised by the garbled question.

This could lead to a better outcome, or it could lead to a worse one.

But that was the goblins' own choice, and nothing that happened would affect Shen Yuan's humanity.

Shen Yuan even suddenly became interested in the goblins' decision.

So He granted Jiligulu's request.
