Alternate Dimension Game: Happiness is all that matters!

A scientist specializing in psychological testing took the lead, "After psychological assessment, the confidence interval for Li Qingshan's mental state being normal is 95%, which means there is still a 5% probability that he is not normal."

"If a 5% low-probability event really occurs… it won't be as troublesome as imagined."

"Furthermore, I don't think humans have fully penetrated the field of psychology; all our disciplines are built on what is known. If an unknown superpower emerges, the probability of him developing mental illness could be higher than the 5%."

Number 12, who was smoking, couldn't help shaking his cigarette ash in the ashtray with a wry smile.

It seemed everyone had the same thought, if Li Qingshan developed delusional disorder, it would be a good thing, as it meant there was no need to encounter an unknown phenomenon of the Demon God Level. However, why did it sound somewhat self-deceptive?

The office fell silent for a while, and then the long-haired woman in her forties on the far left tapped the desk lightly with her fingernail, "We cannot gamble on low-probability events. Since the psychological assessment gives him a 95% probability of being normal, we should think about this matter with the mindset that there's a 95% chance of encountering a 'Demon God.'"

"Super-natural events of a Demon God Level that can interfere with history carry great risks, and the investigation is incredibly difficult."

"Not to belittle myself, but I don't believe I am capable of such a thing, and of those present, less than three have sufficient ability to investigate a 'Demon God.'"

"We can't predict the consequences of history being greatly interfered with, so I have thought of three methods…"

"The first is observation. We can choose to do nothing and observe whether Li Qingshan will travel back in time again, altering the course of history. Then, using the historical resources of the Black-clothed Guard, we can monitor the phenomenon."

"The more information we gather, the higher the probability of analyzing the behavior of this unknown Demon God."

"The second method is a more active investigation. We already know the general appearance of that special training camp. By some special means, we should be able to enter it."

Number 1 fell silent for a moment before replying, "Indeed, we possess artifacts that allow us to go to any location, though the risks are also enormous."

The long-haired woman nodded and continued, "Additionally, Li Qingshan himself can make more active use of the various functions in the training camp to obtain more detailed information."

"He claims that his learning speed in the training camp has greatly improved. By exploiting this trait, we can somewhat verify the existence of the training camp."

She paused for a moment, "Then there's the third method, which is more passive… Simply by terminating Li Qingshan's life process, we could likely sever his connection with the Demon God, reducing the risk of it surfacing."

As she spoke, it was as if a cold wind had blown into the room.

This decision sounded extremely ruthless, but it's important to understand that of the four great ancient civilizations that have passed to the modern era, only one remains.

Any event of a Demon God Level superpower has the potential to destroy all of humanity.

The cruelty to an individual and the guarantee of the world's safety are not mutually obtainable.

After the woman finished speaking, Number 12, holding a cigarette in his right hand, coldly stated, "I oppose the third, passive proposal."

"A Demon God 'surfacing' from the Etheric Abyss can't be stopped simply by executing the individual involved. It must have developed countless ties with the world. Therefore, the significance of such a proposal is not great."

"Furthermore, the Li Family has been members of the Black-clothed Guard from the first generation; they have a five-hundred-year history and have been the pillar of strength in capturing the Subordinate Demon God 'Blood Demon.' Executing Li Qingshan is the most foolish plan."

Number 11, sitting nearby, said, "I oppose the passive solution and also oppose Number 12 citing historical favoritism… Our duty is to protect the safety of the Great Xia Country. If execution could truly reduce the risk, I would not oppose the decision. The 'Blood Demon' is indeed very dangerous, but an unknown Demon God with the power to manipulate timelines is even more perilous."

Someone else spoke up, "Number 12, if you're willing to investigate this case yourself, I can support you with the latest technological aid."

"You would be a strong candidate for the investigation."

Regardless of how the discussion continued below, the eldest, Number 1, kept his eyelids drooping, looking like he was about to fall asleep.

Hidden from view, his fingers danced rapidly, and several ancient copper coins, not captured by the holographic image, rolled ceaselessly on the ground.

This was a special divination skill.

Divining a "Demon God" could bring about severe spiritual backlash; at the lighter end, it might cause mental disturbances, and at the worst, result in death.

The more vague the information, the safer it was.

The more detailed the information, the more dangerous it became!

This was an ironclad rule!

He just wanted to simply test the fortunes and misfortunes this matter held for all humanity... There shouldn't be any problem, right?

With a light clang, a copper coin fell to the ground.

Good fortune... good fortune?!

How strange... was it really good fortune?

There was no spiritual backlash, either.

The old man started doubting life itself. Could it be that this unknown Demon God was easy to negotiate with?

Or maybe it wasn't a Demon God at all?

But as the saying goes: "Heaven's secrets must not be revealed," once some information had been obtained, the same matter could not be divined a second time in the short term.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please quiet down and listen to me for a moment," spoke Number 24, who wore a pair of glasses and seemed rather refined. Not only was Number 24 a Black-clothed Guard, but he was also the head of the Great Science Academy. "To my knowledge, Li Qingshan was in a controlled state during the crossing process. He only occasionally gained control of his own body for a few seconds during battles."

"All of his battle skills come from within himself."

"Don't you all find this phenomenon to be bizarre? What are the intentions of the Demon God behind it? Why does it want to control Li Qingshan?"

The middle-aged woman sitting on the far left said, "Number 24, I must remind you that a 'Demon God' has no intentions. It is just an inexplicable manifestation of idealism. Don't ask why; it is inherently so."

"Using materialistic methods to analyze idealistic entities can hardly explain these phenomena."

"You're right; the bottom-up approach is indeed not a panacea." The young Number 24 adjusted his glasses, unfazed by the middle-aged woman's reminder or her mockery: "However, according to the Great Science Academy's research, idealistic rules are to some extent logical."

"Idealistic rules completely at odds with real-world logic would only constitute chaos and would not appear in our world."

He suddenly changed his tone, spread his arms, and with a curious inflection said, "What I mean is, this unknown Demon God might not necessarily be harmful, right?"

"The people of the West discovered 'God' and, with the power of 'God', established themselves in this dangerous world. What they paid was their faith. So why must this unknown entity we've encountered be harmful?"

"Why execute Li Qingshan? He claims to have access to a training camp where he can learn and hone skills, and there is a significant boost in learning speed, physical recovery, as well as the free use of planes and tanks! He can learn everything he desires!"

"Let's assume that this training camp is indeed the 'Demon God' itself and also suppose that it holds no fundamental malice towards humanity. Maybe one day, we too could make use of this training camp?"

"Ah, the matter of funding will be perfectly resolved."
