The life force of the entire City of Machines was burned to achieve a powerful limitation on Zheng Yichen, and even a chance for a counterattack. In Lilith's eyes, this was quite a bargain.
Although Zheng Yichen wouldn't resort to massacring the city, even if he took down the City of Machines, at most he would scrape away its technology.
For the ordinary people living here, he wouldn't do much more. Instead, if there were dangers nearby, he would leave something to eliminate the threat.
But if Zheng Yichen were that ruthless type, then the City of Machines should not expect to have living people; when clearing the troubles here, he would not care about the lives here.
At that time, many people would still die, and those who died would belong to meaningless deaths. However, if burned by the City of Machines, they would have fulfilled a corresponding purpose.
