His words, which almost made him vomit blood, raised ripples on Lu Qingchen’s face.
Every beam of brightness on his face was cramping violently, as if he had been persuaded by Li Yao. But there was also unwillingness and stubbornness in his voice. He gnashed his teeth for a long time and finally roared like a cornered animal. “No. I’m not you. Just because you can’t control yourself doesn’t mean I can’t!”
Panting, Lu Qingchen shouted in a hoarse voice, “I can control myself. I can control the entire plan to 100% perfection. I can control everything!” “Listen to what you are saying right now. You are so similar to the previous Fuxi, who thinks that it can calculate everything and you believe that you are in control of everything.
Li Yao sighed and said, “Lu Qingchen, Lu Qingchen, take a good look at yourself. Do you still dare to say that you are not lost? Zhuang Zhou, Mengdie, Zhuang Zhou, are you Lu Qingchen or Fu Xi? Did Lu Qingchen swallow Fu Xi, or did Fu Xi swallow Lu Qingchen? Can you tell the difference?” “No. The entire plan has been out of your control since the very beginning. It has been twisted since the very beginning. If you push it forward, it will only get more and more twisted. More and more uncertainties will get out of your control, and even more evil fruits will be born under your stimulation. “Believe me, if you insist on your decision, even if you can rule the entire universe with violence and brainwashing for a while, the reign will not last long. Maybe, somewhere in the broken frontier of the imperium, a new Immortal Cultivator who is even more evil will be born. He will thrive in the rebellion against your reign and accumulate tremendous strength, which will eventually revive the dark Imperium of True Human Beings. “Maybe, in the territory of the federation, countless people will abandon the purpose of the Great Dao of Cultivation because of the ‘glorious victories’ of the federation, only to regard the expansion of the territory and the destruction of the temples as their sole glory. The federation will be transformed into an evil nation with nothing but soldiers, and, catalyzed by blood and fire, more radical schemers will be born sooner or later and swallow you whole. “Maybe, no. This is not a maybe, but a certainty. My two children, Xiao Ming and Wen Wen, are observing our every move. They are learning the definition of life and civilization from the actions of human beings and how to organize and run their civilization. “What do you think they can learn from you? Plots, betrayals, slaughters, violence, brainwashing… All these things! “If so, when they grow stronger and become a real civilization, how do you think they will view the civilization of mankind? Will they extend an olive branch of peace to the civilization of mankind, or will they raise alert or malicious blades? Lu Qingchen, this is the future that you want. Is this what you want to teach your little friend?”
Lu Qingchen was silent.
The two kids, Xiao Ming and Wen Wen, turned into two light spots and surrounded Li Yao, deep in thought. “You are right. Compared with a hundred years ago, I am indeed more lenient and lenient than before. I think a big part of the reason is that I am not just myself but also a father with two lovely children.
Li Yao said frankly, “I can’t help but wonder how it will affect my children and what kind of impression it will leave on them before I do anything. “[ believe that most parents want their children to be good people and do the right thing instead of becoming invincible and dominating the universe’, don’t they? In the end, you and I are not the future, and we cannot control the future. These children are the future. They can create and control the future! “Dad!” “Dad!”
While they were talking, the brilliance around the two kids had already turned into a halo. Xiao Ming and Wen Wen crowded around Li Yao and said at the same time, “We support you to do the right thing instead of what seems to be the most profitable thing, because the benefits are divided into short-term benefits and long-term benefits and potential benefits. Only the right thing can maximize the long-term benefits and potential benefits, right?” “Look—”
Li Yao smiled and said to Lu Qingchen, “The two children understand such a simple logic, but you dontt, or rather, don’t.”
Lu Qingchen grunted. The brilliance on his face was shattered, and he was greatly shocked. “Stop it, Qingchen. There’s still time. Right now, your plan is just an idea and hasn’t caused any damage yet. In fact, you are the biggest contributor to the defeat of the Fuxis. As long as you are willing to turn back, we can work together to create a future.”
Li Yao said, “Really. I don’t want to be your enemy. In the deepest part of my heart, you are different from Xiao Xuance, Elder Nether Spring, Lu Zui, and Wu Yingqi, the big shots and the devil kings. They are complete strangers to me. I can defeat or even destroy them without any burden. “But you are different. I saw your growth with my own eyes. I even interfered with your path of growth by defeating your grandfather Lu Zui and helping you find a teacher like Su Changfa. I even personally taught you for a period of time and helped you temper your original belief. “It was my interference that made you who you are today. Although I don’t think I’ve made any mistakes, in a certain sense, I should be responsible for you. I can’t stand by and watch you slide into the abyss of darkness and destroy yourself and the entire world. I want to save you. Although I don’t know what to do, I really want to save you, even at the cost of everything!
Lu Qingchen was ina trance, as if he were dwelling in distant memories. There was pain, regret, and hatred on his face.
His lips trembled for a long time, but no words came out. He seemed to want to reach out to Li Yao, but he didn’t know which hand to reach out to first. “In fact, I can more or less understand part of your motivation.
Li Yao sighed and said, “From the beginning to the end, you have never been able to forget Grandpa’s betrayal of the motherland. You were too desperate to wash away Lu Zui’s sins, too desperate to make up for the wounds that Lu Zui had caused, and too desperate to help Lu Zui atone for his crimes to the citizens of the federation. That’s why you were in such a hurry to achieve your goals. You were so stubborn that you were willing to make extraordinary contributions even at the risk of universal condemnation to achieve a goal that Lu Zui could not even dream of in the past. “On the other hand, your unique identity — you are the grandson of the traitor Lu Zui and the disciple of the Immortal Cultivator Su Changfa. These two overlapping labels turn you into a weirdo in the eyes of most people. Almost no one understands you. Everyone looks at you with vigilance and prudence. No one believes that you can become a genuine… Federal Hero. “Therefore, you are even more desperate to prove that you are a patriot and a hero who can save the federation. In order to prove yourself, you did not hesitate to do whatever you could. You even covered up your original intention and considered your methods as your purpose. “There’s no need to push yourself so hard. Really, Qingchen, I understand you. It was the same for me a long time ago. Or rather, it was the same for most young men. They craved to prove themselves by any means possible. However, I was luckier than you. At that time, I had many friends and a woman who knew me very well. She helped and encouraged me all the time, but you didn’t. “But you can. You are still young. There is still a long way to go. There are endless possibilities in your life, just like the unpredictable forms we are in right now. Besides, as I said, you are the greatest hero in this battle. You are the key to defeating the Fuxis. You are the greatest savior for the federation, the imperium, and even the Sanctuary Alliance. As long as you stop here, don’t cross the dangerous line. We will face whatever comes next together. I will never abandon you, and you must not abandon yourself, either! “AHHHHHHHHH!”
Countless bubbles suddenly appeared around the giant of light that Lu Qingchen had turned into, as if they had been burnt out by Li Yao’s demonic voice. Chaos, fury, extremity, and evil information spurted out when every bubble was broken.
He was in so much pain that he held his head and screamed. “Hang in there, Qingchen. Defeating the Fuxi is not the hardest part. The hardest part is to defeat yourself. It is a test that every real Cultivator must pass. I believe that you can do i
Li Yao roared. He wriggled his earthworm-like body and opened all his flagella. “Come on. Give up your evil self and embrace Uncle Li. Become a good man like Uncle Li!”
His words struck Lu Qingchen’s head like an invisible lightning.
Lu Qingchen’s eyes immediately bulged.
Hundreds of streaks of brightness seemed to be tearing each other apart and devouring each other in the depths of his eyes. The outcome of the battle was determined in the blink of an eye.
The screams came to an abrupt end. The pain on his face gradually solidified into a different expression that was getting harder and harder. “Uh”
Li Yao looked at his long, thin hair and realized that he might have said the wrong thing. He tried to make up for it. “Of course, everybody has their own ways to ease the negative emotions and the dark personality. It’s fine if you don’t want to fall into Uncle Li’s arms, but you don’t have to be as humorous as Uncle Li. In short, just focus on the main point and be a good person!” “What if I refuse?
Lu Qingchen narrowed his eyes and said gloomily. The electric arcs all over his body were glittering again, echoing like dancing swords. “Don’t—don’t be rash, Qingchen. We’ve been communicating so happily that you’re a little tempted, aren’t you? Let’s talk again. Let’s talk for another hour, shall we? Uncle Li still has a lot of things he wants to say to you!”
Li Yao hurried to say, “Besides, you said yourself just now that you wouldn’t have a good ending if you went against me. You would lose your advantage for no good reason. You wouldn’t forget it so quickly, would you? Don’t—don’t be rash. Don’t attack. You will die miserably!” “Yes. As I said, it is easier to know than to do.”
Lu Qingchen smiled. The fighting will in his eyes and the electric arcs around him were getting more and more unstoppable. He took a deep breath and mumbled, “Even though I knew that it was impossible, I still rushed forward like a moth to a flame. I was willing to bet everything on the one in a billion chance. “This is probably what it means to crash into a wall and not come back.. My fate is up to me and not the heavens!”
