Yuan Qi was not afraid at all, and even rolled her eyes at the enchantress:

“Weren’t you there when things happened back then? You should know very well, right? She made this choice to protect you! This is a restriction she set herself… As long as she doesn’t want to awaken, there’s no way we can wake her up. Even if we tell her the truth directly, she will automatically block out the relevant content… She can’t understand what we’re saying right now because she doesn’t want to understand!”

"...I know, that's why I'm so unwilling, so very unwilling."

The enchantress remained silent for a moment before withdrawing her power with a wry smile:

"She is clearly our eldest sister, but now she is mixing with you humans and even identifies as human from the depths of her soul... Sigh."

"Because we have always treated her with sincerity, given her love and care, taught her the importance of responsibility, and helped her establish correct human values, it is normal for her to act this way, right?"

Yuan Qi chuckled:

"If you don't understand, you can temporarily abandon the past and start a new life as a human, just like her. In 20 years at most, you will understand your sister."

"……forget it."

The enchantress remained silent for a few more seconds before shaking her head:

“The family needs someone to take care of it; it’s not enough to rely on just my little sister… You already had the power to seal her away 30 years ago.”

Yuan Qi simply shrugged and said nothing more.

If a femme fatale could be so easily persuaded, the Truth Society would have ceased to exist long ago.

When Yao Ji and Yuan Qi stopped talking about certain things, Qin Huanyu's blank eyes, which had seemed to freeze in time, finally regained their liveliness, and she looked at Yao Ji again:

"So, who exactly are you? And why are you calling me?"

"She is the supreme leader of the Truth Society, one of the four most powerful freaks in the world, the enchantress with the power of anti-entropy—Maxwell's enchantress."

Before the enchantress could speak, Yuan Qi introduced the enchantress's identity to Qin Huanyu, and then they both looked at the enchantress:

"Speak, what exactly do you want?"

"……Why."

This time, the enchantress remained silent for a few seconds before sighing:

"There is this one person who was once our enemy and we have clashed many times. I have always regarded her as one of the biggest threats."

"Later, due to various complicated reasons, we collaborated again... Only then did I realize that she and I were actually very similar; we were both willing to give everything for our families, even our lives and reputations."

"For the sake of her family's interests, she did some things that made it inappropriate for her to have any further contact with them... Even though her life was coming to an end, she only wanted to die quietly in a deserted corner, without causing any trouble for her family."

“I respect her choice…it should be this way, but I still can’t bear to see her sleeping peacefully in a foreign land.”

"If there's nothing I can do, then so be it, but now that her family has come, I'm thinking—maybe we should let her soul return to her hometown?"

Qin Huanyu and Yuan Qi understood immediately, and their expressions changed drastically as they lost their composure.

Yuan Qi's eyes immediately became somewhat dazed, while Qin Huanyu twitched her lips twice before asking in a slightly dry voice:

"Senior Lei, she's already...? When? Where is she now?"

"It was shortly after the grand fireworks display she gave you."

The enchantress shrugged:

"Her life was already nearing its end, and while she was working with us here, she often participated in various high-intensity battles... However, her White Eagle Fall plan was a success, and she left with a smile on her face, looking very satisfied."

Qin Huanyu and Yuan Qi fell silent once again.

"If you want to see her, come with me."

The enchantress waved her hand and turned to walk into the depths of the forest.

Qin Huanyu and Yuan Qi exchanged a glance, and without hesitation, immediately followed.

After walking only fifty or sixty steps, the Demoness arrived in front of a thick black mist. She first turned around and waved to Qin Huanyu and Yuan Qi with a smile before stepping into the mist.

"...It is some kind of spatial teleportation method, similar to a wormhole."

Qin Huanyu's eyes lit up, and she instantly completed the analysis:

"The other side is most likely the headquarters of the Truth Society, what about us...?"

"……Walk."

Yuan Qi hesitated for less than three seconds before responding in a deep voice and walking into the black mist first, quickly disappearing into it as well.

"Hey."

Qin Huanyu shook her head helplessly and could only follow.

Fortunately, the Truth Society didn't play any tricks. The black mist was simply a teleportation point that led Qin Huanyu and Yuan Qi to a cave lit only by candlelight.

The enchantress was waiting for them there. There were no other monsters lying in ambush around them, only a little girl who looked to be about 10 years old. She was wearing a green dress and looked silly but was quite cute.

When the little girl saw Yuan Qi, she puffed out her cheeks a little unhappily, but when she saw Qin Huanyu, she immediately smiled and ran towards Qin Huanyu, calling out:

"Turtle~~"

Qin Huanyu was certain that she did not know the little girl, but she also felt a sense of familiarity and warmth towards her, as if she had seen her somewhere before.

So she didn't refuse or be on guard, and naturally picked up the little girl, lifted her high, and patted her head.

The little girl was overjoyed, giggling incessantly amidst the somewhat complicated expressions on Yuan Qi and Yao Ji's faces.

Fortunately, the little girl knew that Qin Huanyu and Yuan Qi had come on important business. She waved goodbye to Qin Huanyu reluctantly, called out "Turtle" again, and ran away.

"……she is?"

Qin Huanyu then belatedly asked Yuan Qi and Yao Ji.

"She is the Xuan Turtle of Cheeseno, the one that was sealed away by your Holy Zhou Kingdom for 30 years."

The enchantress smiled and gave the reason she had just come up with:

"Lei Mingming must have shown you what she was like when she was sealed away, right? Did you do something to her with your abilities? That's why she's closer to you now."

"That's it..."

Qin Huanyu accepted this explanation immediately.

Since she did come into contact with the sealed Xuan Turtle and even had a direct soul connection with it, it's normal for the Xuan Turtle to be influenced and become close to her now.

Qin Huanyu didn't feel anything was wrong at all, because she was very confident in her own charm and thought it was perfectly normal for Xuan Gui to fall in love with her... even though Xuan Gui was one of the strongest monsters.

Yuan Qi didn't say much, but urged Yao Ji to continue leading the way.

The enchantress then led them deeper into the cave.

After walking down a corridor that grew colder and colder, Qin Huanyu finally saw Lei Mingming again, inside an ice coffin that exuded a chilling aura.

Qin Huanyu's medical skills are certainly not as good as Linglan's or Bai Ling's, but her Mathematical Eyes can still see Lei Mingming's condition.

The Enchantress hadn't lied before—Lei Mingming died of old age, not murdered, and she passed away contentedly, with a faint smile on her face.

Then Qin Huanyu examined the ice coffin again, and astonishment immediately appeared in her eyes:

"Is this the famous 'non-melting ice'?"

Entropy reversal is Maxwell's witch's ability after being fantasticalized and miraculously transformed, much like Laplace's witch's omniscience, derived from human legends' sublimation of their original abilities.

Maxwell's original and most fundamental ability was to transfer heat from a low-temperature object to a high-temperature object.

Ice needs to absorb heat to melt, so ice that is influenced by the power of the Sorceress can continuously transfer heat to high-temperature objects and never melts is the most famous ability of Maxwell's Sorceress in the supernatural world.

"This is the only thing I can do for her."

The demoness looked at Lei Mingming, who lay peacefully asleep in the ice coffin, her expression complex.

“Despite our different races, different goals, and past enemies, I still don’t believe she should be left to decay in some unknown corner. Even if she can’t return as a hero, at least let her soul return to her homeland and be buried there.”

"……Thanks."

Yuan Qi, who had always been quite firm in her attitude towards the demones, suddenly spoke sincerely to express her gratitude to the demones. Then, with a flick of her sleeve, she used a profound magic technique to collect Lei Mingming along with the ice coffin.

Qin Huanyu remained silent for a while, then the sadness in her eyes quickly turned into calmness. She looked earnestly at Yaoji and said:

"what do you want?"

Before the enchantress could refute her, she continued her confident analysis:

"I believe you and Senior Lei developed some mutual respect during your collaboration, but you are ultimately the leader of the Truth Society and one of the strongest monsters. You can't act on simple emotions like a human—you're deliberately trying to curry favor with us, and you must want something from us, right?"

Snap~~ Snap~~

The enchantress clapped her hands lightly, nodded, and smiled:

"As expected of the outstanding young man who turned the tide in the Battle of the Divine Capital, you have excellent judgment—you are right, I do want to continue cooperating with your Holy Zhou Kingdom, I want this continent."

"You want the White Eagle Continent?"

Qin Huanyu was somewhat surprised, and her expression became strange again:

"Let's not even talk about how it's difficult for the Holy Zhou Kingdom to openly cooperate with you—that would be seen as treason against humanity. Take White Eagle Continent for example... White Eagle Continent is territory of the White Eagle Federation, why would you want it from our Holy Zhou Kingdom?"

"White Eagle Federation... Pfft."

The enchantress burst out laughing, making no attempt to hide the disdain in her eyes:

"That's all in the past... From the moment the White Eagle Fall plan succeeded, the White Eagle Federation was destined to become history."

After speaking, the enchantress gave Qin Huanyu and Yuan Qi a deep look:

"Without the White Eagle Federation, how could the remaining Free Alliance member states possibly be a match for your Holy Zhou Kingdom? To be honest, I'm a little curious—why don't you take this opportunity to send troops to wipe out the Western Continent countries and complete the unification of human civilization?"

"Forget it... I'm not interested in your schemes, but I'm quite certain that you are the only regime for the future of human civilization... I'm representing the bizarre to negotiate with your human civilization, so who else can I turn to but you?"

Chapter 208 Returning with a Full Load

Humans cannot completely eradicate the bizarre.

The bizarre is born from the overflowing thoughts and fantasies of humankind, and as long as humankind exists, the bizarre will continue to be born.

Unless we forcibly suppress human thoughts and turn humans into mindless machines, but that kind of human civilization is no different from extinction.

Similarly, the bizarre cannot completely eliminate humanity, because the root of the bizarre's existence comes from humanity. Without humanity, no new bizarre will be born, and existing bizarre, no matter how powerful, will gradually perish.

Therefore, the two sides are destined to coexist. The many disputes in the past were not about life and death, but about dominance.

As technology advances, humanity becomes increasingly powerful, but the bizarre and outlandish things born from human imagination also become more and more outrageous.

Battles between ancient superhumans and powerful monsters typically only affected villages, with the most powerful ones destroying cities. However, the most powerful weapons and the most powerful monsters of modern humans could truly destroy the entire world.

So from a very long time ago, humans and the supernatural have consciously begun to interact with each other and try to get along amicably.

On the human side, there are hidden villages built for the supernatural, as well as artificial supernatural beings like Suzuran. The Truth Society also recruits human superhumans who are friendly to the supernatural. Both sides have been exploring the path of harmonious coexistence for quite some time.

Previously, the two sides only had a certain tacit understanding, but this time, the Demoness, representing the Truth Society, took the initiative to break the tacit understanding and bring the issue to the forefront.

She didn't care whether Qin Huanyu and Yuan Qi would agree or not, and went straight to telling them her plan.

Simply put, the Truth Society wants to transform the entire White Eagle Continent into a bizarre amusement park similar to Hidden Village.

The Truth Society is aware of humanity's concerns, and they can cooperate with humanity's control over supernatural information, coexisting with the humans of White Eagle Continent as a cult, just like they are now. In the future, White Eagle Continent will nominally reorganize several human nations based on religion, but the true rulers of these nations will be the bizarre figures of the Truth Society who are worshipped as evil gods.

This is what the truth would want.

In return, the Truth Society will continue to secretly cooperate with the Holy Zhou Kingdom's operations in White Eagle Continent, and will also participate in intelligence control over extraordinary powers after the formation of a new world order in the future.

The Enchantress claims that the Truth Society has now mastered a technology that, with the cooperation of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, they are confident that they can actively gather most of the overflowing thoughts and fantasies of humanity, ensuring that at least 95% of the newly born monsters will be born directly in White Eagle Continent, without disturbing humans in other places.

The Truth Society will do its best to ensure that all supernatural beings abide by the law when living in human society and refrain from using their supernatural powers in public as much as possible.

Of course, some monsters are inherently meant to harm humans, and some human sorcerers will indiscriminately capture monsters as materials for their practice.

Both sides can handle these two situations on their own.

The general idea of ​​cooperation proposed by the Demoness is as described above. There are certainly many specific details that can be discussed, but those are things to be done after the cooperation intention is confirmed.

To be honest, Qin Huanyu thought the plan proposed by the demones was worth trying. It would be beneficial for both humans and monsters to coexist harmoniously.

In any case, most of the people in White Eagle Continent have deep prejudices against the Holy Zhou Kingdom. Even if the Holy Zhou Kingdom conquers this place in the future, security will still be a problem—unless all the locals are killed, but what difference would that make from the Unsa pirates killing all the Native Americans?

So it's perfectly fine to just dump all these troublesome people on the management of the Truth Society cult.

Yuan Qi remained expressionless, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. However, considering Yuan Qi's rather cold and tough attitude towards Yao Ji before, her lack of opposition actually meant that she somewhat agreed with her.

However, since neither of them were decision-makers in the Holy Zhou Kingdom, they tacitly agreed that they could not make the decision and could only promise that they would report the proposal to Yaoji after returning.

Yao Ji clearly didn't expect the Holy Zhou Kingdom to agree immediately. She was quite satisfied that neither Qin Huanyu nor Yuan Qi directly rejected her, and she considered her goal achieved.

Afterwards, the Demoness asked Qin Huanyu for a portion of the Power of Arrogance as a means of communication, and once again had the black mist with spatial teleportation capabilities send them back.

Qin Huanyu and Yuan Qi were only gone for a little over an hour. Everything was normal on the Yaoguang. The officials and capitalists from the White Eagle were still loading gold onto the Yaoguang.
