Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

Even when the Night Watch was still in its early stages and not yet stable, Ye Fan was already worried about it.

He worked his way up from the bottom.

He naturally knows the situation of the people below.

Although every city has a formidable Night Watch squad.

However, this method can only deal with some ordinary mysteries. The mysteries of the River Realm are already very troublesome for them.

If they encounter something even more mysterious than this, then only death awaits them.

They absolutely cannot run away, and they absolutely will not run away.

If even they run away, then the remaining ordinary people will suffer.

So from the moment they joined the Night's Watch, their lives no longer belonged to themselves.

The Night Watch still faces the problem of insufficient strength.

There aren't enough top-tier combatants, and everyone's average combat strength isn't high enough.

For many years, Ye Fan had been trying to find a way to quickly improve everyone's combat power, but he had not been able to achieve it.

A demonic seal appeared.

This can only be used at the cost of their own lives.

This was not Ye Fan's original intention.

His original intention was to protect everyone.

Ordinary people need protection, and so do those on the night watch.

But this is really too difficult, and sometimes it is necessary to abandon one side.

And the Night's Watch naturally became the ones to be abandoned.

Whenever Ye Fan learned that a Night Watchman had used the Ghostly Spell to fight off a powerful enemy, he felt uneasy.

He wanted to improve everyone's strength, but he couldn't!

He really can't do it. He's clearly been trying his best, but he still can't do it!

But now, he sees hope again.

Since Master Chen has said so, he must have a clue!

Regardless of whether this conjecture can be realized, Ye Fan must give it a try!

"Yes! Of course I want to!"

"I dream about it!"

"Master, what have you discovered?"

Ye Fan asked in a somewhat urgent tone.

Master Chen nodded calmly, "Yes, but it's just an idea for now, and we still need to verify it."

"If we want to implement this method, we will need at least a year of trial period."

"Moreover... there is a certain risk of death."

Master Chen looked up at Ye Fan as he finished speaking, waiting for his response.

The danger of death...

The investment we make now is for the future!

In any case, as long as this method can hopefully improve everyone's skills, it's worth a try!

"Okay! That works."

"Please tell me, what exactly is the method?"

"You should have heard this method just now, the one Ozawa mentioned."

"The one Lin Ze was talking about?"

Ye Fan began to recall what Lin Ze had just said.

It seems that Master Chen wants to replicate Lin Ze's enhancement model and apply it to others.

But this is completely unreasonable.

Who is Lin Ze?

This kid is a once-in-a-century freak!

How can his model be applied to others?

If everyone could really be like Lin Ze, let alone be exactly like him.

Even if someone had just one percent of his talent, the situation would be completely different now.

The key is that no one can do what Lin Ze did!

Therefore, Lin Ze's model cannot be used casually.

Master Chen seemed to have seen through Ye Fan's thoughts and said, "I know what you're thinking."

"You think Lin Ze is an isolated case, so you can't apply his model to other people."

"But have you ever thought that I never intended for everyone to copy Lin Ze's model, but rather to learn from it?"

That's why I said it will require a long period of experimentation.

"You may not gain anything at first, but you must understand that if this test succeeds, it could change the fate of the nation!"

Ye Fan took a deep breath.

Ye Fan deeply understands the significance of the phrase "change the fate of the nation."

Since Master Chen has said this, it proves that he already has a general idea in mind.

"Master, let me hear your thoughts."

Master Chen walked slowly to Lin Ze's side. "What Xiao Ze said just now reminded me."

"Energy will inevitably be lost during the transfer process, and the energy you absorb is only a part of the energy in the tea leaves."

"According to its principle of diminishing returns, it is impossible for you to completely absorb the energy inside. This will result in wasted energy. Therefore, we need to think of a way to absorb energy efficiently."

"There's one option right now: just swallow it!"

Ye Fan was startled. Now he understood why Master Chen had told him earlier that this experiment carried a certain risk of death.

There's no risk in that.

This is practically a death sentence!

Lin Ze is an exception, so he cannot be analyzed as an example.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he swallowed top-grade tea leaves without any problems. If it were anyone else, they would be in serious trouble, let alone swallowing tea leaves.

Even drinking a sip of tea could cause one to explode and die.

Their bodies are different from Lin Ze's; they can't handle that much energy.

Drinking tea can help control your energy intake, and you can stop in time if you feel you can't keep up.

But if you swallow it directly, even if you can't absorb it, it will still continuously provide energy to your body.

If they can't absorb it, there's only one outcome waiting for them.

dead!

He still died a horrible death!

It's estimated that not even a complete corpse will be left behind.

Upon thinking about this, Ye Fan's first reaction was to disagree.

"No! Absolutely not."

"Master, to put it bluntly, you're playing with their lives!"

That's irresponsible of you!

Faced with Ye Fan's reprimand, Master Chen calmly replied, "There's no other way; sacrifices are necessary in the early stages."

"This has been the case in every dynasty."

"To accomplish something truly groundbreaking, you have to build it with blood and flesh."

Seeing Master Chen's nonchalant attitude, Ye Fan immediately flew into a rage, pointing his finger at Master Chen's nose and saying, "You!"

How could you say such a thing!

"Aren't their lives lives too?"

"They also have their own families and their own lives!"

Master Chen didn't even glance at him, and said lightly, "See, you also know this principle."

"If you are unwilling to sacrifice now, you will still have to make sacrifices when you encounter a powerful enemy in the future."

"Then let me ask you, didn't those who sacrificed their lives have their own families, their own lives?"

"Or is it that it's right for them to die in battle, but wrong for them to die in experiments?"

Master Chen's words were all reasonable, although they sounded somewhat unreasonable.

However, from a broader perspective, Master Chen's approach was the most correct.

Gain the greatest benefit with the least sacrifice.

The sacrifice we make now is so that our brothers will not have to sacrifice again in the future.

Doesn't Ye Fan understand this principle?

of course not.

How could Ye Fan, who had been the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia for decades, not understand this principle that even a child could comprehend?

He came from the bottom and knows the hardships faced by those living at the bottom.

Therefore, he did not want to sacrifice anyone.

His biggest weakness is that he has an extremely strong capacity for empathy.

He didn't want anyone to sacrifice themselves and wanted to find a way to satisfy both sides, but the more he tried, the more devastating the losses became.

These are lessons learned through blood and tears.

Even so, Ye Fan still couldn't break through his own psychological defenses.

Compared to Master Chen, he was still too inexperienced.

Master Chen also came from the bottom, but he didn't have this kind of thinking.

Because he knew that doing so was wrong.

Someone will always have to sacrifice; this disease is not scary.

What's terrifying is that one's own death has no value whatsoever.

If his life could be exchanged for corresponding value, then Master Chen would not hesitate to die.

As people get older and experience more things, they have fewer things on their minds to worry about.

This is what Master Chen thought before.

They felt that they only needed to be responsible for themselves and didn't need to worry about anything else.

But things are different now.

Now that he has a young apprentice, he has to take responsibility for him.

I really can't leave right now.

Of course, he will still step forward if needed.

He believed that his apprentice would forgive him.

Master Chen said expressionlessly, "This is not a decision you can make alone."

"Let those at the top know that they will definitely implement it."

"At that time, they will still ask for our opinions as usual, but you also understand that we are just the swords of Great Xia and do not participate in internal affairs. As long as you can understand, we will basically not offer our opinions."

"Therefore, this matter will definitely be put on the agenda."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's anger surged instantly.

"No!"

"I will not agree!"

"I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Xia Night Watch. If I disagree, let's see who dares to do it!"

What Ye Fan said was true.

Throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty, Ye Fan's official position, while not the highest, was certainly the most powerful.

After all, he controls the entire Night's Watch organization.

This is no joke.

Furthermore, he himself is a pinnacle of human achievement.

If he disagrees, then no one else can really do it.

Even if everyone agrees, this matter will absolutely not be accomplished if Ye Fan doesn't give his consent.

This is the veto power!

Master Chen smiled and shook his head, "You really get carried away."

"They even seemed to lose their minds a bit."

"Could it be that you're under too much pressure these days and need to release it?"

"You need to understand that there are many things in this world that you can't simply refuse to do just because you don't want to."

"No matter how strong an individual is, they can't overcome a group of people."

"You must understand the principle of ants swallowing an elephant."

"Let me put it this way: if you just won't budge, then they really can't get this done."

"But that's only on the surface. What about behind the scenes?"

Even if you're incredibly capable, can you keep an eye on them?

"Besides, this might not be a bad thing. What if the experiment is simpler than I imagined?"

Ye Fan was stunned.

After many years, he experienced the feeling of powerlessness once again.

He always wanted to become stronger because he didn't want to lose control of things and become powerless.

In the end, it still didn't work; what's meant to happen will happen.

He knew that Master Chen wasn't lying to him when he told him these things.

Everything he said was true.

He knew those high-ranking officials; they were absolutely capable of doing such a thing.

It's even more outrageous than what's done openly!

He couldn't stop him...

However, at that moment, Ye Fan suddenly found a key.

Master Chen hasn't yet told those people about this method, has he?

Not to mention them, even he himself only knew the general idea.

In that case, there's still some way to salvage the situation.

As long as Master Chen doesn't tell anyone about this, can't we just pretend it never happened?

"Master, let's just let this matter rest, okay?"

"We will definitely find other ways."

"Perhaps that method doesn't require any sacrifices?"

Master Chen replied firmly, "I see, you're trying to use me as a breakthrough point."

"However, I can also tell you with certainty that it's impossible."

"I will definitely tell you about this."

Ye Fan's eyes widened immediately, and his tone gradually turned cold.

He asked, enunciating each word clearly, "Is there really absolutely no room for negotiation?"

Master Chen responded in the same tone, "No."

As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature around him dropped several degrees, and a chilling atmosphere filled the air.

The two were evenly matched, neither willing to back down an inch.

If this continues, the two of them will inevitably have to fight!

At this moment, Lin Ze also realized the seriousness of the situation.

He thought the two of them were just bickering, but who would have thought it would develop like this?

A showdown between two of humanity's greatest talents—what a spectacle that would be!

This can be considered the strongest fighting force below the level of gods.

Although they are inside the fasting hall and have the Zhenxu Stele to suppress them, this thing is completely useless to them!

Lin Ze understood what they were talking about.

Both of them had their own reasons.

There's no clear right or wrong between the two of them.

How do you judge whether this is right or wrong?

Master Chen's proposition was slightly more radical, sacrificing the present for the sake of future benefits.

Ye Fan advocated for a more conservative approach and sought a more stable method.

That's not bad either.

The mistake was that their ideas overlapped.

This forcefully pushed Lin Ze into the middle, making him make a choice.

The score is now one to one between the two of them. The next step is to see which side Lin Ze stands on.

Emotionally, Lin Ze should stand on the side of his master, that is, Master Chen.

After all, with his master's help, he had advanced to the peak of the Boundless Realm in one go.

Such an achievement comes from ten years of the master's hard work.

Logically, Lin Ze should also stand on Master Chen's side.

Because that's what he thinks too!
