Chapter 1036 Sacrifice
1036 Sacrifice
Great Ye Dynasty: Xiao Songxi was elated to see his mother and sister again.
"So, from now on, our dynasty will be a veritable Emperor Lineage?" asked his sister, not hiding her excitement and joy.
"We will."
"Hehehe, now, I can walk in the world with my head raised proudly."
"Couldn't you do that before?" chided Mother Xiao. She then looked at her son, "I'm proud of you." A large grin was plastered on Xiao Songxi's face after hearing that.
"Hmph," snorted Sister Xiao. "Now, these people should regret what they've done to us."
"Why are you bringing this now?"
"I'm just saying."
"Mother is correct; there is no need to bring negativity to today's joyous occasion," said Xiao Songxi, deciding to spend a great day with his family. He did not tell them much about the ongoing of the upper dimension or the Rebellion as he did not want to worry them. Near the end of the family dinner, he asked them: "You have to make a choice."
"What choice?"
"Do you want to become immortal now or wait later until I have settled in the upper dimension and I can bring you? It's very easy to acquire Heaven Wills, and you can both prove the Dao." L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
"Really? We can become Emperors?"
"Yes, but it will take some time. You might have to seal yourself to prevent running out of lifespan." He had already searched the relevant information and knew he could send a projection into the lower dimension after becoming an Empyrean and bringing his family with him.
"Can you send the Heaven Will down here?"
"Why are you asking such a question?" asked Mother Xiao.
"What else? So I can become a Heavenly Emperor."
Xiao Songxi took a moment to word his question correctly. "Is it possible for me to have a second chance to become an Eternal if I sacrifice, let's say, an Empyrean?"
Wang Wei did not expect these words to come out of Xiao Songxi's mouth: "A rather bold and interesting idea."
"So, is it feasible?"
"Logically speaking, it is, but let's check."
His eyes lit up, followed by countless strings materializing around him. He played with a few like they were a guqin.
"Your idea would have succeeded if you were the first to do it."
Xiao Songxi sighed as the worst-case scenario he feared had happened. He was not the first or only cultivator to use Sacrifice Dao, so it should be expected. Additionally, if there were no limitations to such a thing, people could just cultivate Sacrifice Dao as a sub-Dao and try it.
"What about a Paragon?"
Wang Wei looked at him, "Has your desire for power driven you crazy?"
Xiao Songxi was silent, "I'm just not willing."
Wang Wei sighed, "I'm not one to belittle someone's goal or ambition. Anyways, the current situation is chaotic, so who says it's not possible for a little Eternal to capture a Paragon and use it as a sacrifice."
"I know you're just saying these words, but I still appreciate them," said Xiao Songxi as he bowed and left. Soon, the news of what happened to the Baishe Clan spread. Countless eyes fixed on the sea clan as people wanted to know the ins and outs and how things would develop.
Soon after, rumors that the Sea Clan would appeal to the court to sanction Xiao Songxi's actions spread like wildfire. People began to speculate this event would be significant as it would dictate the relationship between the court and the newly appearing Eternal Powerhouses.
Some people even believed that Xiao Songxi's actions were an act of rebellion; he did it to send a message to the court that no one could restrain him or the others. The discussion soon got out of control as people believed there might be internal strife in the Myriad Emperor World, an act that would severely affect the progress they've made since the beginning of the era.
However, regardless of the final outcome, most citizens had faith in the Heavenly Emperor's final victory; they just worried what price would be paid to end this situation as soon as possible.
During this time, the Dream World saw its highest usage, allowing Wang Wei to gather a lot of Spiritual Power. Unfortunately, the people were severely wrong. After a few days, nothing happened, and the sea clan did not launch an official complaint.
The wise individuals were not surprised by this outcome. Nothing can go undetected by the Heavenly Emperor. So, Xiao Songxi's action only meant one thing-it was allowed. No one knew whether the Heavenly Emperor simply did not care and let it happen or they came up with some kind of deal. Regardless of the reason, it happened because he allowed it.
The Sea Clan knew this and thus decided it was pointless to launch a complaint. They knew that even if they complained, the Heavenly Emperor could just ignore them or use myriad bullshit bureaucratic justifications for his decisions. So, the best move is to remain quiet. Maybe such an act would improve their standing in the Heavenly Emperor's eyes in the slightest and repair the previously fractured relationship.
The world did not focus too much on this catastrophe. Less than a month after descending, it was finally time for these new Emperors to preach to the world. Such a major event took precedence over any clan annihilation without a doubt. After all, what these people genuinely care about is benefits.
