C221 A Mocking Search for Passage Through Time and Space

Regardless of what kind of magic it was, or what kind of heaven-defying divine ability it was, there would always be a rule of law. It was the conservation of quality, equal exchange, and no true creation.

Since ancient times, a more common way to push a large array was to receive the power of the Buddha or to link the Yuan Energy of Heaven and Earth together. But if one's goal was too big, then they could only return to the basics and use the most primitive way to push it.

Blood sacrifice, sacrifice of darkness, sacrifice of the living … Various nouns, referring to the same thing. In the balance between heaven, earth, and man (living beings), the endless growth of various living forms was always seen as the most continuous energy. After a batch was killed, another quickly would be born, especially for the humanoid life forms, whose flesh, blood, and soul imprints could be said to be the highest energy.

Due to various misgivings, Homo Clan had long regarded the sacrifice of living people as a taboo, and changed to studying the more advanced ways to supply energy. Even though the level of Beasts was not high, it still continued this ancient inheritance and even grew in power, becoming one of the main forces in every military formation.

Admittedly, even though it was taboo and primitive, there were still many benefits that were difficult to replace by life. This time … When the complete blueprint of the formation clearly appeared in front of him, Wen Qubing immediately understood. The energy of the Dragon Vein Great Art was to sacrifice all living things in this world, and return life to the heaven and earth to repair the space.

"Is the magical formation fake?"

Xiang Xue was the first to raise the question, "If we spent so much effort and sacrificed so many people, the array would be fake.

The moment he heard those words, Wen Qubing felt as if space and time had changed, as though he had returned to the Fragmentary Star Group of the past. During times of war, in order to achieve victory, no matter what means, there were countless taboo methods used in Fragmentary Star Group. Every time it happened, before the internal meeting, their own people would have to quarrel for a long time, and only after an intense dispute would they be able to reach an agreement.

Usually, Xiang Xue was the one who had the least to worry about, as long as she could win, she would not hesitate to sacrifice anything; Wei Shibi was a bit of a good man, everyone would do whatever they wanted; he and Shang Gaiyong, on the other hand, had many objections.

As the war progressed, everyone's situation gradually changed. Wei Shibi went from being a good man to giving up on himself, to directly losing or casting useless ballots when he met a vote, and to not even bother with mud and mud. Shang Gaiyong felt that victory was the priority, if he did not win this battle, then he would probably die tomorrow. If they didn't win the battle, how could they face the dead who were sacrificed along the way?

Xiang Xue, on the other hand, increasingly agreed that it didn't matter if they were both injured or both. As long as she could injure the enemy a thousand times, it would be good strategy, and she would even take the opportunity to fish for a small benefit for herself.

'In any case, I've already satisfied all of the requirements for the blood sacrifice. Besides completing my main objective, what does it matter to me to lengthen my cultivation and refine some blood medicine? "There's no need for anyone else to die because of this. Those people are going to die anyway, and I did this for the next victory, not for my own selfish gain. I'll take these blood potions and blood pills and split them with everyone later!"

It should be a taboo, it should be a matter of principle that cannot be touched. Under the even bigger cover of darkness, it did not seem to be a problem, and even when Xiang Xue was "selflessly" giving away the benefits, it still seemed to be somewhat bright and shiny …

"..." But what was originally taboo and blood, how could it shine? It should be something unforgivable. How could it be passed over with a smile?

In the later stages of the competition, the number of members in the decision group increased, and in order to prevent their true colours from being exposed, Shan Luling had always been silent. Even when he opened his mouth, his speaking speed was not as fast as Xiang Xue's fireballs, so the work of arguing, hitting the table, knocking the table, smashing the table, and smashing the table gradually shifted to the few newcomers led by Wu Cangni. She himself became their silent shield, and although she was speechless, he expressed the same will.

"..." Those times are really nostalgic now that I think about it …

It had been a long time since he had that kind of feeling, but at this moment, he felt it again. From the moment he saw the use of the magical formation, he knew it was going to be troublesome.

If he did not save them, the Conferred God Stage would fall and the demons would descend, causing the people to be completely unprepared. The demonic monsters' retaliatory attacks were devastating, and within a month, the entire earth would not just be a sea of casualties, but an apocalypse. In comparison, the number of lives lost to the north, while the number of lives repaired by the northwest, was only a small number.

However, that was only in comparison. If it was simply looking at the tens of thousands of lives consumed, the total would be close to one hundred thousand. This was definitely a very large number.

This design, had been hiding traps from the very beginning. The formation required a number of lives, and it was mainly aimed at the humanoid intelligent life forms. The Homo Clan was the best, but it was not limited to the Homo Clan, which meant … Orcs can do it too.

Although Homo Clan could not be considered friendly towards her, they were still able to be considered equal. And judging from Xiang Xue's attitude, her words should be "life" and "sacrifice", and this was probably not a slip of the tongue. She had directly set Homo Clan as her ideal goal from the very beginning.

One hundred thousand lives … He wasn't a merciful and pedantic Goddess type person, but what kind of thing was hard to put into practice? Killing a hundred thousand Homo Clan in three days, regardless of the consequences, how was this matter going to be realized?

It involved such a large scale movement of personnel. Without the help of a powerful figure, could it be that if he were to ascend the throne, he would leave a hundred thousand people in a daze and commit mass suicide? If they needed help, they could be the leaders of the several tens of thousands of people in the northwest region. It would be good enough if he didn't cut him down. How could he possibly help a bunch of birds?

Or... Move the target to Beasts? The life energy of the Beasts wasn't that high, it was roughly equivalent to around a eighty to eighty percent discount. If all of it was used as an alternative, then it would be more than a hundred thousand.

To cooperate with Wu Cangni and the others to annihilate the Beast Army that was led by Troelski, even if they killed them all, it would not be enough. Even if they included the deaths and injuries that would occur with Homo Clan, they still owed them everything and had to focus on the common people of Beasts, or even the common people of Homo Clan …

If they were to move towards the Homo Clan, Wu Cangni and the others would definitely not obey. They would definitely come here to hack, but if they had any intentions on using the Beasts … With this thought, King Shuri Na must have already expected that from the very beginning, when he was not within the range of the screen's display, his sharp eyes would shoot over.

Pushing tens of thousands of beastmen to their deaths in front of King Shuri Na. Would he even have any thoughts about doing such a thing? Even if he didn't grit his teeth, it would be difficult for him to cooperate in the future. The harmonious relationship between the two parties would come to an end here.

Moreover, he had the same question as Wu Cangni. If the target of sacrifice was the Beastmen, where should he start from? It was similarly impossible for him to shout out a few words to the tens of thousands of beastmen, and let them commit suicide together. Who in the Beasts would be able to assist him in such a big matter?

Xiang Xue waited silently for a reply. She seemed to understand but not really, she only knew that this was a huge issue. She did not know what was going on, and only waited for Wen Qubing's answer.

Wen Qubing's mind raced, emotions, logic, laws, humans, beasts, all sorts of conflicts and taboos, all sorts of actions to make him feel guilty, like a bomb that could explode at any time, he had the heart to dismantle it, but the lead wire was actually tangled into a mess, no matter how he attacked, there would be problems, even if he threw caution to the wind, he still had nowhere to start.

This kind of big event, could only be accomplished by sincerely working together with Wu Cangni, Sima Ling Gong, Beast Sovereign galago, King Shuri Na and the other leaders of the human and beast races. However, this kind of absurd idea was impossible in itself …

Looking back at the source, the one who caused all this trouble was that person. He was the one who designed the formation, and everything was within his expectations. It was even possible that he was somewhere, observing the entire situation …

The reason why she came into contact with Tai Yi's mission pattern at first was because Xiang Xue believed that he could trace his footsteps in the mission pattern, and this idea had now been verified. However, why did she feel like he had fallen into a hole that he had dug earlier when he had chased Tai Yi?

To do or not to do, to do or not to do, to be or not to do... It was as if that person was standing right in front of him, throwing out questions like he was mocking him.

"..." If I am not here, and if I am in the same predicament, would you be able to start a new day?

"..." How many enemies and friends did I bury along the way? How many more things must be done? If you think I'm wrong and give you a chance, can you take a different path?

"..." Without me, you would still have to solve the problem in the same way. Is the sacrificed human life due to my evil? Or your incompetence? Or is the evil you loathe only wishful thinking?

As if he saw the person's mocking and ridicule, Wen Qubing's heart surged, his palm slapped on the Propagation Array and he angrily said: "I will prove that your path is not the only way, we will not live under your shadow forever!"

The sudden response scared both of them. Xiang Xue immediately understood, and just as she was about to speak, her eyes blurred.

It was not that Wen Qubing had never experienced this before, but this time, the situation was different. Not only him, even the area opposite of the teleportation array where Xiang Xue and Loong Yun'er were at, completely stopped.

"..." What was this situation?

Wen Qubing's heart shook, all he saw was the scenery around him expanding, transforming from a battle room into a boundless galaxy, following that, a loud sound that shook the heavens, resonating throughout the entire universe.

"I am one, and I am ten thousand. I am the beginning, and also the end. I am Tai Yi!"
