Chapter 529: Wuqing! Don't Be So Heartless!

[At this point, He Xiangdong looked toward the sky.]

["It's just that these two fortunate events are, for the Human Race, so very unfortunate..."]

[You understood one thing even better than He Xiangdong did.]

[The Alien Race fundamentally could not resolve Pollution, even if its intensity and scale were far inferior to the Pollution of the Celestial Emperor era.]

[They merely channeled the Pollution into the Void Realm, using the Void Realm as a sealing pool!]

[These alien beasts of the Real Realm, when they turn ruthless, won't even spare their own ancestors.]

[You had to remember that they too had originally ascended from the Void Realm. Now they were using the world where their ancestors lived as a sealing pool for Pollution, and who knew how many Void Realms had been wiped out.]

[After listening to He Xiangdong's explanation, you had gained a certain understanding of the "Great Turmoil," the major event that marked the end of the Celestial Emperor era.]

[You had also basically figured out the difference between the Real Realm of the past and the Real Realm of the present.]

[This only strengthened your determination to find a path that would help the Human Race return to its peak.]

[It was obvious that the Alien Race had waited for so many years for the opportunity of the "Great Turmoil." They had worked so hard to push the Human Race off the altar, using suppression across the entire universe to make it nearly impossible for any human to enter the Celestial Emperor realm again.]

[Thereby maintaining their current status and interests.]

[They would never stand by and watch their current favorable situation be destroyed.]

[Who would destroy their favorable situation?]

[The human farmers sweating buckets in the fields? No.]

[The human miners who never saw daylight in the mines? No.]

[The low-level human cultivators painstakingly training in backward regions? No.]

[Only an existence like you, who led an entire era and was powerful beyond compare!]

[Only you would.]

["Ah... I really am too strong..."]

[So, if the Human Race's situation didn't change, then you, as a member of the Human Race, would find that the mountain the Alien Race pressed upon humanity would sooner or later become the mountain pressing upon your own head.]

[Use the trait tag's effect to change identity and transform?]

[That was not a long-term solution.]

[Once your cultivation realm reached a certain height, such as Immortal Lord or Immortal King, it would be impossible not to attract attention.]

[When that time came, facing the gaze of top-tier alien beings, the trait tag's disguise ability would likewise give you away.]

[To cure the disease, you had to treat the root cause!]

[After finishing the discussion of the Great Turmoil, He Xiangdong was also quite moved.]

["Actually, I've always felt that the myriad races have no inherent high or low. Theoretically, the Alien Race could also produce a Celestial Emperor.

In the Celestial Emperor era, although the myriad races had conflicts, everyone could still live their own little lives.

But what about the universe now?

Hostility is everywhere, and everyone guards against one another.

Within every local galaxy, those great organizations led by alien Immortal Emperors are equally afraid that other races might also launch a Great Turmoil.

When everyone is thinking about how to grow stronger and suppress others, rather than pursuing the pure Immortal Dao, how could another Celestial Emperor ever be born?

The Alien Race, with their own hands and their twisted hearts, personally destroyed the thing they most dreamed of. How ironic.

The Alien Race in the Great Turmoil seemed to have won, but in reality, they lost."]

[You said with a stern expression.]

["So, when our Human Race stands up once again, that will be the time when the myriad races become one race!"]

[He Xiangdong smiled.]

["I hope we can see that day."]

[The sixty-first year, age eighty-seven.]

[In the days that followed, you temporarily stayed at the Vermilion Violet Star base.]

[Ah Dou was also sent to a genius academy to continue his studies and lay the foundation for cultivation.]

[The Immortal Qi at the Vermilion Violet Star base, like the Immortal Qi outside, was controlled by the Holy Dragon Society.]

[So the Immortal Qi needed for cultivation here also required a residence permit.]

[This was not a problem for the Torch Society.]

[Because they themselves had an external identity, perhaps as an elder of some family, or an executive of some sect, or something similar.]

[So they had their own residence permits.]

[Their descendants and relatives, if they wanted to cultivate, could also normally obtain residence permits through this external identity.]

[For people coming from outside, they would also help the other party obtain a normal identity.]

[For example, you and Ah Dou, through Ji Wuqing's recommendation, made a trip to the Ji family, took up an idle post, and obtained a long-term residence permit.]

[Ji Wuqing was someone who could never sit still.]

[Sometimes she came to the base to pick up missions, sometimes she simply came to hang out. Most of the time, she was wandering around outside.]

[In the last simulation, you didn't know what happened, but you always felt you couldn't let go of your feelings for Li Lingyue, so you were unwilling to accept Ji Wuqing's feelings for you.]

[This time, you had made up your mind.]

[One simulation was one simulation. There was nothing wrong with being with Ji Wuqing in this simulation.]

[This was because at the end of the sixth simulation, you saw Ji Wuqing die together with the enemy in order to avenge you.]

[How fiercely burning that feeling was. How could you not respond?]

[It was absolutely not because she was the eldest daughter of the Ji family!]

[If it really came down to it, you'd just marry both of them later!]

[One first wife, one wife. Was that not also a form of monogamy?]

[So, when Ji Wuqing once again brought Ji family resources to the base to visit you,]

[you combed your hair into the style of an adult and put on a set of handsome clothes.]

["Brother Chen, look. This is the fasting divine art you mentioned last time, the Sun Essence Moon Splendor Scripture, and also several volumes of the Pray for Rain divine art. I brought them all for you."]

[Ji Wuqing, enumerating them like treasured family heirlooms, placed several divine art manuals before you.]

[You looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, the corner of your mouth slightly raised.]

["Wuqing, Ah Dou has already adapted to life here. I've made up my mind. I'll go back to the Ji family with you."]

[Ji Wuqing still hadn't realized what you were saying.]

["You want to go play at the Ji family? Sure, sure! But you'd better change your name, just in case your identity is exposed."]

["The name is a small matter. We should now discuss the wedding date."]

["Wedding date? What wedding date?"]

["Wuqing, don't joke around. This is a major life event."]

["?"]

["I know. From the very first moment you saw me, you had feelings for me. And haven't I felt the same? You once asked me, if you had appeared earlier than her, would I have chosen you. I want to say, love does not distinguish between first and last."]

[The Ten Thousand Souls Banner had already thrown up inside the Pot Heaven space.]

[You laughed inwardly at a mere Artifact Spirit. What did it know about love?]

["Are you crazy?"]

[Ji Wuqing's words pulled you back to reality.]

[You were stunned for a moment.]

["You don't like me?"]

["Who said I like you?!

Go to hell, you dead pervert!

You said you wanted to borrow my Ji family's divine arts, but it turns out you were looking for a chance to get close to me! Planning to make a move on this young lady?!

Bah!

Even though you're extremely handsome, your motives are impure! Your thoughts are filthy! A beast in human skin! A dressed-up animal! Who would like you?!

And here I thought Chen Dong was some kind of hero. Turns out he's full of bad intentions too!

I'm not giving you the divine arts!"]

[Ji Wuqing angrily snatched up the manuals in one go, then leaped into the air, cast a divine art, and flew away.]

[You stood in place, utterly disheveled in the wind.]

["No... Hey, hey, if you're going to leave, then leave, but at least leave the divine arts behind! Let me take a look? Wuqing! Wuqing! Don't be so heartless!"]
