Capítulo 1519: Chapter 287: Bombarding the Undying Tree!
“Ruohui’s blood is very special; this was sothing I realized when I infiltrated the Imperial City. Thinking about it, it seems that King Jing deliberately sought out so many friends to interact with Ruohui, which appears to be intentional.”
With not the slightest interest in that so-called great power, An Jing said indifferently, “Although his Blood Shadow still exists, it is evident that there is mory loss. But ultimately, it doesn’t matter; the relationship between King Jing and the Late Emperor was so close that their children are essentially the sa.”
“Xuan Mingyu, don’t think that because the blood of King Jing flows in you, I will hold back. Now tell your true purpose, and I will decide whether to kill you or imprison you based on the situation.”
“As for you, Grand Preceptor Hong.”
An Jing looked in the direction of Grand Preceptor Hong, closed his eyes, and his tone carried a hint of annoyance: “Power, strength, the leader of a faction, ensuring inheritance…”
“These things, if I wanted them, I could have had them long ago.”
“If those boring things were what I truly desired, I wouldn’t have needed to fight all the way; staying at Hanging Fate Manor would have sufficed.”
At this mont, to the west of the North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent, a Daoist was smiling as he looked toward the direction of Shenjing, holding the All Heaven Star Array Map.
Though he was closely monitored by the Four Seasons Dragon Gods and the Haotian Mirror, he could still keep track of Shenjing’s movents at all tis. At this mont, he laughed loudly and congratulated: [Ha ha, what the Saint Heir said is true. If the Imperial Dynasty’s youngsters, if our cult’s Saint Heir only desired those worldly things, he could have had them long ago.]
[What you can give, our Heavenly Will Divine Sect can also give. To try to tempt and exchange with such things? Don’t make us laugh. Even without the Heavenly Mandate, he could create the New Heavenly Sect and ascend to the pinnacle relying on his own strength.]
[Though this is my first eting with the Saint Heir, I understand him far more than you all do!]
The voice of the Heavenly Intent Sect Master shook the heavens, and the face of Grand Preceptor Hong beca even more unsightly.
An Jing opened his eyes, and now, his eyes were completely blood-colored. The martial artist raised his hand, lifting a similarly black-red sword, pointing it at the three before him: “Look, this is my sword.”
“If I wished, from the beginning, I could have used it to achieve the finest outco in this mundane world.”
“Since I have not pursued it, it ans what I seek is far beyond it.”
[Then what is it that you ultimately desire?]
At this mont, Grand Preceptor Hong was utterly confused, entirely at a loss: [At this point, there is no need for concealnt; surely you also know about the Holy Ancestor, or rather, the obsession of the Holy Ancestor still lives through the Undying Tree, having rged with the entire Da Chen system.]
[As long as the conditions are t, Da Chen has the opportunity to ‘unify the North Mysterious and return to flourishing periods,’ and it will imdiately awaken, transforming into an unprecedented Human Dao Demon, devouring everything!]
[The Late Emperor and King Jing triggered the awakening of the Holy Ancestor, and the Late Emperor sacrificed his life to prevent the most intense resurgence of the Holy Ancestor. Before he died, he instructed , Yin Gujin, and King Jing to maintain this world order so as to avoid widespread destruction of life—I did as he asked! I did not betray Da Chen!]
[By leveraging the Haihai Demon Disaster and the Frost Calamity, the cause-and-effect fluctuation from the awakening of other Exalted Great Heavenly Demons, we interrupted the process of the Holy Ancestor’s awakening. During the Nirvana War of your Bright Mirror Sect, the Holy Ancestor once again sensed the opportunity for Da Chen’s great revival. It was Yin Gujin who exerted all his strength to suppress it… To achieve all this, indeed, the Frost Calamity was created, and you were brought about, but An Jing, this is the growing pain of reform!]
[If not, the entire Da Chen would have been devoured by the Holy Ancestor, and in that case, you would all die, everyone in the world would die! Choosing the lesser of two evils, no one could do better!]
[And now, as long as we complete the reconstruction of the new Civil and Military Formation Plate, we can completely suppress it, refine it, and fully turn it into the power of the Heavenly Official!]
[Peace and tranquility under heaven, An Jing, tell , what could you possibly pursue that is higher than this!]
“So that’s it.”
Upon hearing these words, An Jing’s heart stirred slightly, sighing gently: “I see, so that’s how it is.”
The upheaval and genesis of the Frost Calamity and the Haihai Demon Disaster had many causes, with various parties having their own tacit approval and intentional agitation, but most of the ti, it was unclear who truly benefited.
Especially for Da Chen, everyone suffered losses, whether in reputation or destiny; they had no reason not to save themselves, not even like insects would handle it like this—at least outwardly, they should conduct disaster relief while covertly profiting.
But if this isn’t a conspiracy, but a counterbalance, it all makes perfect sense.
However, after understanding everything, An Jing’s tone remained calm: “In this light, ‘Grand Preceptor Hong, you may not be as vile as insects, because you truly have little personal gain at stake. But this is only because you’ve reached this level, where aside from higher, farther, and longer-lasting prospects, you no longer care for worldly wealth and nobility.”
“But ultimately, it’s all just patchwork above the ordinary. It all cos down to humans oppressing humans, to a group of insects living in disgrace. Why, with your wisdom, can’t you see higher, farther? Can’t you think more thoroughly? Is there truly no other possibility besides maintaining this endless cycle of oppression and being oppressed?”
He was puzzled and asked, “In the end, what aning is there in being king in a dood anthill?”
[Refusal… must you be our enemy?]
The Geomancy Map surrounding Grand Preceptor Hong began to glow layer by layer, with countless points of light rapidly circulating. His tone grew heavier: [An anthill, is that how you evaluate the human world? But without a nest for the ants, faced with floods, fires, droughts, frost disasters, if left to their own devices, more ants would die!]
[Martial Artists need conflict and chaos. The Sects won’t care about how the families and countries beneath them live, whether they have enough to eat or wear, have shelter and work, or a peaceful life. They don’t care, they’ll let all things strive freely under the frost sky. Those who can survive have the Fate Pattern, that’s what they want!]
[The Holy Ancestor back then, and what I want now, is to control this power. The frawork of the Imperial Court is good enough, what’s wrong with maintaining it?]
[Though the Imperial Court may err and oppress the people, it’s all within limits. If you dislike the necessary evil of aristocracy and noble families, just change the na. In any human-composed world, there will inevitably be such hierarchical relationships.]
[A large organization’s internal struggles are indeed ugly, corrupt, and blood-soaked and lead to the suffering of the people. But without this organization, more ordinary people would die, and no one would care for them!]
[Wanting no one in the world to die, no one to be oppressed? Seven Fiend Tribulation, how could you be so naive?!]
“Naive?”
An Jing shook his head slightly and sneered: “Grand Preceptor Hong, you seem to have missed the point. When did I ever say I wanted to save everyone? When did I ever care about the number of deaths?”
“Please don’t talk about death, human beings are ant to die. They faced oppression, but didn’t resist your tyranny, didn’t take up a knife against you, didn’t storm the governnt, didn’t assassinate you, didn’t spit in your dishes when serving them — they accepted fate, followed your rules. Do you think I would sympathize or pity them?”
“No, not at all.”
“They chose this fate for themselves, those who don’t even know anger, or how to cry for help, are not worth my intervention at all.”
At this point, An Jing looked up at the sky: “In the end, the entire Da Chen is built on a mistake. Listening to your discourse, I’ve co to understand this even more.”
“The Holy Ancestor of the past used the Heavenly Demon for bloodline confinent, restricting the possibility of Ex Nihilo, and used the Heavenly Official system to limit the potential of half the Martial Artists on North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent — favored as he was by the Heavenly Mandate back then, he should have established a Heavenly Ancestor to pass on the Ex Nihilo, restore the world, increase the number of Martial Artists, then manage them, guiding their order into the next era.”
“But it all went wrong. The reason for the Mysterious Heaven Ceremony choosing to devour Ex Nihilo and create the Heavenly Official system is unknown to you too, and as a result, powerhouses like Yin Gujin can only be a Martial Emperor’s Throne.”
“And for managent convenience, within the whole Da Chen territory, your latent thought is actually that the more ordinary people, the better, everyone being a Heavenly Official, rejecting the existence of Life Chart Warriors — if it weren’t so, how could I have conquered Shenjing so easily?”
“The Fate Pattern represents humans’ pursuit and control of their destiny. Only those content with diocrity and helplessly trapped in it would lack a Fate Pattern. An ideal world should be one where everyone has a Fate Pattern, yet is still peaceful and happy. First, give people possibility, rather than just suppression and control.”
“Grand Preceptor, that’s the limitation of the Heavenly Official system. Ordinary people wield power without understanding their desires, unable to see the future’s direction. Even though you hold Lingxiao’s power, your vision is still that of a commoner, too small, too short, focused only on centuries or millennia… focused only on the human world, rather than the millennium-long future.”
“Repressing so people for stability, such diocrity is the true demon. You, the pinnacle of the Heavenly Ancestor, the dignified Heavenly Venerate, can think of only these thods. I am… very disappointed.”
At this point, An Jing no longer spoke with Grand Preceptor Hong. His tone turned into an undeniable command: “Enough, the ti is about up. No more words, I’ve fully understood your thought — Hong Xieshi, now, imdiately transfer the entire authority of the Heavenly Official system to , and move the Great Formation on Mysterious Heavenly Palace!”
As he spoke, a gigantic rift tore across the blood-colored sky, and an enormous Cave Heaven phantom hovered behind that pitch-black Void Rift.
Vaguely, an enormous black wheel could be seen slowly turning.
The magnificent outline of the Cave Void Break Flood Light Cannon appeared over Shenjing, and the blood-colored Stars blazed fiercely at its core, instilling fear in all who looked upon it: “I shall bombard the Heavenly Undying Tree!”
