I cannot dodge what is mine
The fierce winds howled as the Tai Ah Divine City’s City Lord looked at the Shepherd Boy from a distance while floating above the vast wilderness.
The City Lord was situated beside the nostrils of the divine turtle. He felt as if the nostrils were two large volcano openings, spewing out hot air.
The middle-aged scholar sighed. He had spent 90% of his life in the Divine Wilderness, yet he did not even know of the existence of such a terrifying behemoth being in the Divine Wilderness. It was quite tragic.
“Human, you seem to have something to say to me?” The Shepherd Boy stood up from the divine turtle’s head, with the piccolo in hand, smiling at the middle-aged scholar. “You are pretty good. Even under the pressure of the Long Gui* True Spirit, you are still able to remain unruffled. For your cultivation level, it is extremely rare!”
At this moment, the middle-aged scholar held his saber as his clothes started fluttering violently in the turbulent winds.
“Long Gui True Spirit…” The middle-aged scholar gently shook his head, “I see. When I traversed the Divine Wilderness, I did hear of people mentioning primordial spirits.”
“Primordial species have a trace of the bloodline of an ancient divine beast, but it is extremely dilute, as such it is only known as a species. As for primordial spirits, the bloodlines they have inherited is much thicker than those of the primordial species. They can even manifest the shapes of the ancient sacred or divine beasts, hence they are called True Spirits.”
“Long Gui True Spirit should be a descendant of Long Gui…”
The legendary Long Gui was a divine beast. It had a dragon’s head and a turtle’s body, and it was one of the nine sons of the True Dragon.
The body of a Long Gui was huge, and its strength was limitless. It could even carry a star!
“Not bad, although you are born in this remote land, your knowledge is not lacking.” The Shepherd Boy was smiling even now.
“You… are not human?” The middle-aged scholar asked as he looked at the Shepherd Boy. He had always suspected so.
The Shepherd Boy gently shook his head. “No, I was born from the Desolate race. My appearance may look no different from a human, but the difference is our sole ability to communicate with desolate beasts.”
Desolate race! Able to communicate with desolate beasts!
Many of the warriors above the city walls had never heard of such a race.
However, the middle-aged scholar knew. This world was not limited only to the human race. There were other races as well. And amongst those races, there were some whose numbers exceeded that of humans!
“The Desolate race… I see. May I ask you why you are annihilating my Tai Ah Divine Kingdom?”
“Because I have something to do…” The Shepherd Boy gently shook his head, “I do not truly want to destroy Tai Ah, but unfortunately, the few countries around the Divine Wilderness are hindering me from doing what I want to do. As such, I can only annihilate.”
When the Shepherd Boy said words that played down on the matter, the hearts of the people on the Divine City’s walls jumped. You want to destroy a few countries just to do something!?
One had to know that there were trillions of lives in the countries surrounding the Divine Wilderness! He wanted to kill all of them with just a few simple words!?
“You want to destroy trillions of lives just to do one thing?” The middle-aged scholar’s voice sank as he tightly clenched his saber.
“So what?” The Shepherd Boy stroked his piccolo. “All sorts of natural living things support the survival of humans, yet humans have never reciprocated that to the Heavens. Humans have accepted the gifts from nature, but what they consider is forever their own interests.”
“You have extracted from nature without constraint, and with your trillions of people, you have extracted even more. To survive, are you not killing living beings every second and every moment? And the numbers you kill are far greater in number than the number of humans.
“The world is heartless, it treats everything as lowly beings. In front of a stronger power, humans are no different from pigs and dogs. You can kill other living beings because you are strong. If other living beings kill you, it is because they are stronger. You can say that this is part and parcel of the divine law of survival of the fitness.”
“Not only you, even large worlds can collapse… formation, existence and then destruction, it is all a part of the divine laws.”
When the Shepherd Boy said all this so frankly, the middle-aged scholar felt a chill. Although he did not wish to admit it, he had to agree that what the Shepherd Boy said was reasonable.
With a higher divine law in front of them, so what if it were to destroy a trillion lives? When two stars collide, it too would kill trillions of lives!
However, who would say that the stars were cruel?
“If that is the case, then there is nothing for us to negotiate on.” The middle-aged scholar let out a long sigh.
