273: But I can't be as clear-headed as him.

By the hospital bed.

Jiang Shenyi suddenly asked, "Oh right, what kind of guy do you think Helden is?"

Xiao Fan frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and said, "His combat power is very strong. As for his personality... he barely spoke the entire time, only opening his mouth when he threatened me at the end."

"He should be a very calculating person."

Jiang Shenyi chuckled and said, "Actually, Helden's reputation among the other races is extremely polarized."

"Some people say he's a hypocrite, while others revere him like a god."

"And I can tell you for sure, he doesn't hate the Human Race."

Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with surprise.

A hint of reminiscence appeared in Jiang Shenyi's eyes.

"I've lived for so many years, and I know very well what a revenger's eyes look like, but I've never seen that kind of look in his eyes."

"For hundreds of years, his eyes have never changed; they are always indifferent, indifferent to everything."

"But the things he does in the Earth Goddess Church are very strange."

"You wouldn't guess in your wildest dreams what he's doing over there."

"He teaches his subordinates physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, and Chinese, and he even requires the believers in the church to thoroughly read a book called 'The Little Prince'."

"Moreover, he is also an excellent music teacher. Rumor has it that he sings very well, though his enunciation is a bit unclear."

These things opened Xiao Fan's eyes. The tall, imposing figure appeared in his mind.

He couldn't help but ask, "He's a music teacher? Does he sing... classical?"

"No, he sings pop music." Jiang Shenyi laughed, "We, the Human Race, also have undercover agents in the Earth Goddess Church, and one of them even took his music class."

"He said that when Teacher Her was listening to music, his eyes were still indifferent, but it always made people feel very... peaceful."

"But he is also extremely cruel to his enemies, whether it's to those who harm the Earth Goddess Church or to enemies in war, regardless of whether they are Human Race or other races, he is very cruel."

"That's why people say he's a hypocrite."

"What music teacher? It's all just a persona he created to attract followers."

"But what's interesting is that for hundreds of years, he has never explained any of his actions."

"In fact, I'll tell you, he has never proactively started a war."

Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow, not only wondering about Helden's actions but also why the Great General was speaking up for him.

"But he's killed many of the Human Race, hasn't he? Your family..."

"Yes!" Jiang Shenyi nodded seriously and said, "Although he is my enemy, that doesn't prevent me from objectively scrutinizing him."

"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles."

"Putting yourself in others' shoes is a skill every warrior should learn."

"Helden himself holds a high position and great power, so it's impossible for him to stand by idly in any war. So, from this perspective, his centuries of killing may not have been his will."

"Including the future war, the main reason is the demise of the Taiping Divine Sect, which actually has little to do with him."

Jiang Shenyi's eyes were complex as he said, "I have participated in every war from ancient times to the present."

"In so many wars, I always wondered each time, 'Has Helden finally lost his patience?'"

"'Is he no longer pretending?'"

"But the final results always showed that the source of the war had nothing to do with him, and he was always forcibly drawn into it."

"If not for his somewhat cruel actions, looking at his entire life's behavior, you might even think he is a pacifist."

"I'm telling you all this because I'm too curious. I've always had a wish: I want to know what kind of guy Helden truly is!"

"Is he really a hypocrite?"

"Or does he have some unknown secret?"

"What is his ultimate pursuit?"

"His indifferent face is like a mysterious veil."

"I want to lift it."

"But I probably can't do it anymore, but you can!"

Jiang Shenyi patted Xiao Fan's shoulder and chuckled, "Just a little mischievous fun. I hope that when you become strong enough in the future, you can help me fulfill this wish."

"I'm old now, and I don't have many family members left; this is my only hobby."

"Your potential is much higher than mine, plus that Divine Intent and the Eight Wilderness Bloodline. As you grow, it wouldn't be surprising for you to be a bit stronger than Helden."

At this moment, Xiao Fan's curiosity was also piqued by Jiang Shenyi.

All the powerful individuals highly praised this King.

Including himself!

Because the feeling he had when facing Helden, upon careful recollection, was actually quite subtle.

Xiao Fan said, "If everything is as you say."

"Then isn't he also a very clear-headed person?"

"He knows that the hatred between the other races and the Human Race cannot be resolved, and cooperation is even more absurd."

"Coupled with the alien civilization's covetous gaze, he simply decided to turn death into power."

"More deaths mean more power."

"It doesn't matter how many people die. With the help of the Martial Arts book 'Beyond', the overall strength of Blue Star should remain constant in a short period."

"But the quality of the strong will greatly increase."

Jiang Shenyi smiled faintly, "Yes... The previous actions seemed foolish, but now it seems everything is under his control."

"However..."

Jiang Shenyi's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "I can't be as clear-headed as him!"

"And the people of Shanhai Pass can't either!"

"Because too many people have lost their families due to other races, including your parents, right?"

"So, even if there's a life-or-death battle with an alien civilization in the future!"

"Then I hope the one leading this war will be the Human Race!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Shenyi suddenly chuckled awkwardly and said, "Ahem, I got a bit excited and said too much. Just listen to these words."

Xiao Fan remained silent.

He knew the Great General hoped he could raise the banner of the Human Race.

But he was still too weak, his Realm too low, to influence the outcome of a war.

Saying such grand words would only seem ridiculous and absurd.

It's better to be more practical.

Xiao Fan smiled faintly and said, "In that case, I'll start by destroying a Tiger-level unit."

The other races' units are divided into five Ranks: Emperor, King, Tiger, Bear, and Wolf.

Emperor-level units are led by Emperor-level other races (Martial Gods), King-level units are led by King-level other races (Martial Sages), and Tiger-level units are Rank 6 (Martial Venerables).

The number of people in a unit is usually between fifty and seventy.

And Xiao Fan's opening statement was to first destroy a Tiger-level unit led by a Rank 6 other race.

Jiang Shenyi laughed heartily. This answer was very practical, and he liked it very much.

He also believed that for Xiao Fan, who had entered the Great Grandmaster Realm and achieved Fusion with the Eight Wilderness Bloodline, it was very possible for him to single-handedly take on a Tiger-level unit.

After all, Xiao Fan's methods of killing enemies were not limited to close-quarters combat; he was also skilled in poisoning, assassination, traps, and more.
