Chapter 696 How to choose between interests and beliefs?

"Protest! Are you going to sacrifice our water tribe in vain?"

Ao Guang was sweating profusely, watching the other two major forces of the Demon Alliance stand together and are about to use the Water Tribe as a sacrifice. He shouted angrily: "When you traded with us and made money from all over the world, you didn't have this attitude!"

Ao Qin also knocked on the table and shouted: "We, the Water Tribe, have also made great contributions to the Demon Alliance. Don't you care about our old friendship at all?"

"If the Demon Alliance decides to evacuate, we, the Water Tribe, will withdraw from the Demon Alliance. We won't get any security guarantees in the Demon Alliance anyway!"

Ao Shun issued a stern threat.

"Brothers, there is nothing we can do about this. The overall situation is more important..."

The Bull Demon King pretended to comfort him, "My friends and I have a close personal relationship. We often drink together. From a personal perspective, I support you."

"but……"

After a long pause, the Bull Demon King smiled bitterly and said, "The situation is stronger than people. We can't sacrifice the fate of the demon and human races just to save the water race, right? Just like you said before, if the gods and Buddhas are powerless, we mortals can only avoid them if we can't afford to offend them."

"To die together, or to save some of them, this is not a difficult choice. We humans can abandon our compatriots, so why can't you, the water tribe?"

Gu Changfeng also said with a cold face: "Director Ao Shun, I advise you to calm down. We still have time to build some simulated ocean environment shelters. They certainly cannot accommodate all the sea people, but at least they can accommodate some of the sea people's elites and some important figures. If you withdraw from the Monster Alliance and lose technical support, the simulated ocean environment shelters will definitely not be built, and your entire clan will be buried together."

Ao Shun was so shocked by Gu Changfeng's cold words that he sat back in his seat helplessly and lowered his head.

At least after thinking rationally, Ao Shun knew in his heart that even if he was betrayed by the Demon Alliance, he could not easily withdraw from the Alliance now.

Stay in the Demon Alliance, swallow the bitter fruit, sacrifice 95% of the sea people, and preserve 5% of the elite descendants.

If we withdraw from the Demon Alliance, everyone will ascend to heaven, and no one will be spared.

It’s really not difficult to choose.

The human population in the Demon Alliance is only one million, while the population of the Great Zhou Dynasty is as high as 10 million. Including the human population in other states, the number of humans who can survive in the shelters after the catastrophe is less than 5% of the original population, and the sacrifice ratio is similar to that of the sea people.

If the human race in the Demon Alliance can readily accept it, why would the sea creatures of the four seas be dissatisfied?
The three Dragon Kings looked ashen and were in extremely heavy moods. The voting ratio now had seven votes against, which was the majority, and there seemed to be no room for maneuver.

Of course, there is one exception, which is the veto power of the chairman.

Every year, Wen Rui has a veto over major affairs of the Demon Alliance. However, in recent years, Wen Rui has been busy with corruption in the Heavenly Court, and his clones are usually idle when they participate in the Supreme Council, and he has almost never exercised this privilege.

As if grasping the last straw, Ao Guang looked at Wen Rui eagerly and said in a trembling voice: "Chairman, please come forward to administer justice. You are a virtuous god with merits and virtues that can blind the eyes of dragons. You can't give up more than 90% of the sentient beings in the mortal world so easily. Saving the people is the great cause of heaven and earth..."

"Shut up!"

Wen Rui interrupted him rudely: "Don't give me any lessons about universal values, I don't give a damn! When all the gods and Buddhas have to give up the mortal world, what waves can I make?

The more he talked, the angrier he got. Wen Rui pointed at Ao Guang and scolded him, "You're not a good person either. You only complained when the knife was on your neck. If I hadn't reminded you just now, you would have happily supported the shelter project with them!"

Ao Guang's face was blue and red, and the last glimmer of hope in his eyes was shattered. The whole dragon seemed to have its tendons pulled out and collapsed. After scolding Ao Guang, Wen Rui's eyelids twitched, and he glanced at the directors present one by one with a sullen look, saying, "It's really ugly. Even if I admit that you all have reasons and the conclusions you draw are very rational, I still despise you!"

Faced with the accusations, the four demon kings and three humans did not care at all. Instead, they were somewhat complacent, thinking that this was Wen Rui's affirmation of their judgment.

If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked too. Wen Rui is not a good person either. This group of people are also bad because of their association with bad people. They have learned his shameless nature.

"Ten directors have already expressed their opinions, with a voting ratio of three to seven. If nothing unexpected happens, the Monster Alliance will have to decide to take refuge and hide in order to preserve their strength..."

"Wait, we in the Jinling Immortal Sect object!"

A clear female voice came from beside him. He Lingyun stood up and said with a frosty face, "It's too irresponsible to escape!"

The Crane Fairy really stood out like a crane among chickens, and said righteously: "We, the disciples of Jiejiao, are blessed by heaven and earth, and have the honor to listen to the teachings of Xuanmen's righteous law, study the truth of Jietian Dao, educate all living beings, and seek a glimmer of hope for billions of lives."

"To survive is not the teaching of Jiejiao, which is to seek life for all things. Five hundred years ago, the predecessors of Jiejiao bravely sacrificed their lives to uphold their beliefs. We, the younger generation of disciples, have to watch helplessly as all living beings perish and all things decay. This is truly unacceptable!"

Having said this, she looked at Wen Rui with her beautiful eyes firmly, and said expectantly: "Brother, you must think so too, right?"

"Eh?"

Wen Rui blinked and stammered awkwardly: "Ah this... I actually..."

Junior Sister He’s eyes were so clear that Wen Rui didn’t dare to look at them, and he unconsciously avoided her passionate and sincere gaze.

To be honest, Wen Rui convened a board meeting to discuss the matter because he couldn't make up his mind. He himself was not sure.

If they put all the strength of the Demon Alliance that they had worked so hard to build into a fight to the end with the Blood Sea Demon Clan, the result would most likely be a complete defeat, with more than two million members of the entire organization being killed.

The reason why they have no confidence is that the two teammates, Heaven and Western Religion, are unreliable, and their core interests may not be consistent with those of the beings in the mortal world.

Giving up the mortal world is not a difficult decision, and it can be abandoned at any time when necessary.

Fighting side by side with gods and Buddhas, at the most critical moment on the front line, the gods and Buddhas are likely to betray their friendly forces, fire flares over the heads of the demon alliance army, and then flee back to heaven and paradise.

To be more sinister and guess what the gods and Buddhas are thinking, the demon army is a big threat, so does that mean the technological cultivation army of the Demon Alliance is no longer a threat?

Defeating the demon army and allowing the demon alliance that occupies the mortal world to continue to grow stronger and continue to spread the beliefs of the Jiejiao until hundreds of millions of mortals become as powerful as gods is not a result that the gods and Buddhas would like to see.

From the perspective of game theory, it is in the best interests of the gods and Buddhas to betray the Demon Alliance’s army on the battlefield and let the Demon Alliance and the Demon Army fight to a mutual defeat.

In the three-way game, the Demon Alliance joined the gods and Buddhas to fight against the demons, which was actually most disadvantageous to the Demon Alliance.

Taking refuge and preserving one's strength is the most advantageous option.
