The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2075 A combination of kindness and power

Deep down, Matthew was full of curiosity and worry about the situation in the human world. The most crucial reason for this was that he was about to step into the mysterious Mangcang Treasure Pavilion.

Once inside, Matthew had no way of predicting when he would see the light of day again.

Understanding the specific situation of the demon clan became his most urgent task.

Because no matter what, he knew very well that he would inevitably meet the demons again on the road ahead.

Judging from the limited information collected so far, the human race and the demon race seem to be stuck in a stalemate.

The human race has the powerful and controversial Temple of Slaughtering God.

Although many of the actions of this organization have been criticized and even despised, it is undeniable that if the Temple of Slaughtering Gods had not existed, the human world today would probably have been completely changed.

Maybe it will become more beautiful and prosperous, or it may become a dead and desolate place with no people. These are all difficult to predict.

However, at this moment Matthew knew very well that he could not leave Dengtianling Island easily.

It was because during this period, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the sacrifice and training of Dengtian Lingdao.

Such an extremely powerful celestial treasure was undoubtedly extremely attractive to him, and he naturally hoped to carry it with him.

After careful consideration, Matthew has drawn up a detailed plan.

When he arrived at the Mangcang Treasure Pavilion, he planned to let all the cultivators on the island go to the human world to receive some training.

The tasks currently released are actually opportunities for the Mangcang people to practice.

However, he had not yet told anyone else about this carefully planned plan.

After all, once some things are spoken too early, the final results may not be as ideal as expected.

However, Matthew knew very well that even if these things were not stated explicitly, they should be able to roughly guess his intentions.

In the days that followed, time passed quickly, and Matthew was always busy updating various tasks.

This phenomenon attracted the attention and reflection of many monks on the island.

After a period of observation and analysis, they keenly noticed a pattern.

Whenever a monk returns to the island from the human world, Matthew will immediately launch a new mission.

As a result, everyone gradually realized that the reason why Matthew was able to issue tasks continuously was because he could accurately judge how to formulate subsequent action plans based on the important intelligence brought back by his tribesmen.

At first, the faces of those monks who completed their journey to the human world and returned first were all filled with irrepressible excitement.

It was obvious that when they first experienced the strange and colorful sights of the human world, their deep joy was beyond words.

However, as more and more monks set out from the island and headed for the human world, and the number of trips back and forth increased, the situation slowly changed.

When the monks came back to the island one after another, the excitement on their faces gradually disappeared, replaced by a complex and slightly heavy expression.

Matthew noticed this subtle change and took the initiative to ask the returning monks the reason.

After some communication, the answers he got were almost the same.

These monks all expressed that through their many experiences of going deep into the human world, they deeply realized that today's human world is no longer what they had imagined in their minds.

Especially after they witnessed the true terrifying power of the demons with their own eyes, they realized how lucky they were to have been able to successfully resist the invasion of the demons.

All this is thanks to the wise decisions and careful guidance of Matthew and other experienced and capable people.

"This is the cruel reality! Before you see anything, all fantasies tend to develop in a beautiful direction. However, the human world that is now presented before you is its true face."

Matthew stood quietly on the broad square, his tall and straight figure like a steady mountain.

Facing the more than 400 tribesmen gathered here, he spoke slowly.

Although his voice was not loud, his words were clearly conveyed to everyone's ears.

When the many monks present heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

After all, they had personally experienced and understood what Matthew was talking about in recent days.

It is for this reason that Matthew specially gathered everyone here, hoping that through this exchange, everyone will have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the situation in the human world.

Next, Matthew crossed his arms over his chest, slowly looking at the more than 400 people in front of him, and then spoke in a low and majestic voice: "Everyone listen carefully, from now on, I will issue a long-term mission. Each of you must leave Dengtian Lingdao and go to the human world to complete this mission. In the past, the tasks assigned were only generous rewards as incentives, but this time is different. If you fail to complete the task on time, you will be severely punished!"

Having said this, Matthew paused slightly, and his sharp eyes swept across the audience again, as if he wanted to see through the hearts of everyone present.

Then, he raised his voice slightly and continued, "Before this, I have given the four elders some special items that will help you reproduce and continue your bloodline. However, the task that will be issued next requires everyone present to participate and work hard to accomplish it. Specifically, you must do everything you can to successfully occupy a piece of territory that belongs to you in the human world, and you must also try your best to gain a firm foothold and consolidate your power."

After Matthew finished speaking, he took a deep breath and his tone became more serious: "When I come out of Mangcang Treasure Pavilion, I will naturally go to find you in person. By then, if I find that someone has failed to complete this task, don't blame me for being ruthless and cruel!"

As Matthew finished speaking, the originally calm atmosphere at the scene was instantly broken. The faces of the more than 400 monks changed suddenly. Some looked terrified, while others frowned, as if they were thinking about how to deal with the situation.

For a moment, the whole scene fell into solemnity.

Matthew usually stays at home and rarely talks to these people.

However, he knew that if he wanted to completely control these people, rewards alone would not be enough.

There must also be severe punishment measures.

Combining kindness and severity is an idea I came up with after repeated consideration during this period of time.

The human heart is the most difficult to control, and this is all Matthew can do.
