Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 217: Chapter 206: Expand and Strengthen, Achieve New Brilliance_3
Among these prince mansions, even the “Prince Liang Chu Mansion” was included.

If an average person saw Prince Liang Chu supporting the Hehuan Sect, they would probably immediately conclude: It’s just dogs biting one another, after all, Prince Liang Chu died at the hands of the Hehuan Sect, the Demonic Tao is ungrateful, and the like.

But Jiang Cheng was very calm.

It was common knowledge in the Capital that Prince Liang Chu was greedy and lecherous.

His collusion with the Hehuan Sect was not surprising, but what was strange was that he donated money to them, and not a small amount: millions of low-grade Spirit Stones.

Such generosity didn’t fit Prince Liang Chu’s character.

With Prince Liang Chu’s personality, he should have been more interested in freeloading.

Given the limited time, Jiang Cheng didn’t waste the precious opportunity to research on lengthy pondering.

He collected the relevant evidence at lightning speed and told Gao Miao to prepare for retreat.

Gao Miao was somewhat surprised by how fast Jiang Cheng was moving, “Not going to look at other things?”

Jiang Cheng shook his head, “Seeing the information on the Hehuan Sect is enough, leave the rest to the Enforcement Hall.”

“Makes sense. Specialization is key. After this battle, the Demonic Tao in the Capital will be wiped clean, and Liang Kingdom should be at peace for a long time.”

Gao Miao was spirited.

“Jiang Cheng, about that bounty on you… Jiang Cheng?”

Gao Miao turned back and found Jiang Cheng standing still, seemingly deep in thought.

“Jiang Cheng, what’s wrong? Do you want to look at more information? Jiang Cheng?”

A bead of cold sweat crossed Jiang Cheng’s forehead, “Senior Gao, do you know why the Immortal Sects have always been unable to eradicate the Demonic Tao?”

Without a second thought, Gao Miao responded, “Of course, it’s because the Demonic Tao is too cunning! In fact, we also know that some forces provide convenience for the Demonic Tao, but for various reasons, the Immortal Sects can’t just unleash a heavy blow to sweep the Demon Sects.”

“No, the reason the Demonic Tao can’t be eradicated is—balance.”

“I get your point. Like two sides of a coin, where there is light, there must be shadows. Don’t overthink it, such is the Heavenly Law, the natural rules, we can’t change that.”

Jiang Cheng shook his head, thinking to himself that Gao Miao simply didn’t understand.

The reason why the Demonic Tao could never be uprooted by the Immortal Sects was not anything else, but precisely because of—balance.

This “balance” was not what Gao Miao referred to as “natural balance,” “coin balance,” or “light and shadow balance.”

It was a “numerical balance.”

“Immortal Gods” was just an online game, so where could all those great principles come from?

In the game, the Immortal Sects, the Demon Race, the Demonic Tao, the Sea Tribe, and other factions all had a strength value.

This value was always maintained in dynamic equilibrium through the underlying code design in the game.

If the power of the Demon Race was squeezed, they would have the chance to give birth to more prodigies, enabling the Demon Race’s strength to return to the value it was designed for.

The same went for the Demonic Tao.

No matter how hard the Immortal Sects tried, the Demonic Tao would always thrive because the Demonic Tao also had its own strength value.

Though the Demonic Tao in the Capital seemed to have been swept away, it wouldn’t take long before they would rise from the dust again.

Or they wouldn’t even need to rise again, as they would gain more opportunities in other places, spawning more prodigies, and by pressuring the Immortal Sects elsewhere, the overall strength of the Demonic Tao wouldn’t be affected by the purging in the Capital.

The reason why Jiang Cheng understood the concept of “force balance” so thoroughly

was because the setting of “force balance” was his own work.

Handling balance as a numerical planner was part of the job.

But who could have anticipated that one might transmigrate when designing balance?

“Force balance” was a massive trap!

The existence of this mechanism meant that no matter how hard the Immortal Sects worked, they would never be able to annihilate the Demonic Tao.

They couldn’t even weaken the forces of the Demonic Tao.

Headache.

Jiang Cheng never expected that the one who always played with mechanisms would one day be played by the mechanisms himself.

And it was a mechanism he had set up himself.

However, Jiang Cheng quickly thought of a solution.

“Senior Gao, I need to find some other materials. I won’t be going out just yet,” said Jiang Cheng.

“Do we need to extend the time with Zhou?”

“No need, but I do need you to come over and help me.”

“Oh.”

Gao Miao came over to Jiang Cheng and saw him flipping through the cultivation techniques and secret manuals of the Hehuan Sect.

Gao Miao: ?

Not only was Jiang Cheng reviewing the Demon Sect’s cultivation techniques, but he was also planning to photograph them all.

Gao Miao, who had always claimed to “understand Jiang Cheng,” was now baffled by Jiang Cheng’s actions.

“What are you trying to do?” he asked warily.

“Stockpiling the library.”

“What do you mean?”

“The Dayan Sect is considered a top-tier Demon Sect, after all; it can’t be without a single secret manual, right?”

“Hold on, wait a minute. Isn’t the Dayan Sect fake? Wasn’t it something you made up to deceive the Shadow Puppet Sect?”

Jiang Cheng, unchanging in expression: “Now it’s real. I’ll first become the Sect Master, then appoint a Deputy Sect Master, with passionate souls we’ll grow and strengthen, creating a new era of glory.”

Gao Miao, with a face filled with shock: “Ah?”
