Chapter 147: An Expected Conclusion
Bai Shendong quickly sorted out the situation, but soon he was struck by an even greater confusion.
“Do you really want to give up wealth and glory just to fight the prestigious families because of hatred?”
“You are a practitioner who has mastered dual attribute Spiritual Law, and you can eliminate Chaotic-level monsters with one blow! No matter which town you are in, you would have a high status. Maybe you would need to bow and scrape, but it also represents a chance for progress!”
“A lifespan of over two hundred years in the spiritual realm and over four hundred years in the law realms—you intend to oppose all the Spiritual Law practitioners in Baishi Town out of a moment’s anger?”
Moment’s anger?
For twenty years, he had been exploited like a beast of burden.
The killer was his wife’s own brother.
His entire village was slaughtered, and in the end, his daughter was kidnapped to become a tool.
Any one of these was a deep-rooted enmity!
And did many people not want to resolve this "moment’s anger"? No, it was simply because the odds were slim!
If he had strength, if someone else merely cast a cold glance at him, he would likely feel provoked and would want to take action immediately.
“The prestigious families are my enemies; I will slaughter them… This is my path. To not carry it out is to die; it’s that simple. If I were to use a more appealing slogan, it would be for the sake of all beings, so that tomorrow is not spent crawling in the mud, serving the prestigious families like a beast!”
Yun Ye said lightly.
The reason he didn’t mention the ideals of Tomorrow Society was mainly because he felt that a member of a prestigious family would likely not understand.
So, he should influence their thoughts subtly rather than forcefully alter their perception.
If subtlety failed, then he would discuss the ideals and use more intense means to change them.
If that still did not work, they would simply become enemies to be killed…
That was all there was to it.
“Your path?”
Bai Shendong pondered this and then looked horrified. “Are you a Dao Artifact wielder? Your path is to slay all prestigious families for the sake of all beings? You are the Dao Artifact wielder born two years ago?”
“You even know about this… How has it spread so widely?” Yun Ye frowned tightly.
Seeing Yun Ye confirm this, Bai Shendong took several steps back, pointing at Yun Ye in shock. “You are in great danger! The Luo Dynasty will never allow a new Dao Artifact wielder to arise; you are breaking the current order!”
“But I am still alive until now, which means the Luo Dynasty hasn’t noticed my presence, right?” Yun Ye replied.
“Noticed your presence? In fact, it could be said that way. Even the Spirit Law calculations of Dao Artifact wielders cannot determine anything unless you are right in front of them, allowing them to observe the causal lines for minimal predictions…”
“However, there is no need to pinpoint you! The Dao Artifact will naturally lead to conflicts within the Dao Domain, and although the Luo Dynasty consists of separated cities and towns, the Dao Artifacts are of the same origin. Once you engage in the struggle, you might hide for a short time, but it is impossible to remain hidden forever!”
“At that time, even if various celestial clans and sects mutually restrain each other, a tiny faction could still crush you. In such a remote place, it is impossible for them to be compared at all!”
“You are courting death!”
Bai Shendong felt utterly hopeless. Even if a miracle happened and he could defeat Baishi Town, the result would merely be being extinguished by a higher-level force, with no chance of winning!
This was the order of the entire world, the order of the Luo Dynasty, a system that had lasted for countless years!
The reasoning might be twisted or completely wrong, but if it were easy for anyone to achieve their goals, the world would have changed countless times over the long years.
Yet the reality is that it hasn’t, because there is a powerful force that extinguishes everything!
“That really makes one feel a deep sense of despair,” Yun Ye said.
However, Bai Shendong saw no change on his face—did this man truly understand the situation?
Naturally, Yun Ye had anticipated these potential difficulties long ago. He did not believe that Baishi Town and the Luo Dynasty were unrelated; at least once in a while, the Luo Dynasty would come to check on the changes in Baishi Town’s Dao artifacts.
He did not know how much time he would have after taking Baishi Town, but he could not stop moving forward.
This was indeed an extremely dangerous situation.
To think about changing the prestigious families and even the celestial clans, there was only one way…
Yes, it meant putting one’s life on the line.
If he wanted to take a shortcut, to be reborn into a prestigious family and use their power to seek a smoother path of reform…
That would be a joke.
Did he really think that prestigious families were places filled with emotions?
When a cultivator has lived for hundreds of years, high above everyone else, was it family ties that built such a family?
No, it was for his own rule, so that there were people to solve troubles and collect resources for him!
In such families, without ability or talent, one would never be cultivated, only pushed to the sidelines, and it would be impossible to access the advanced techniques of the clan…
Every additional person would only divide the power more; they could not afford to give to those of no value!
Even if one could overcome all hardships and had real talent and strength to climb to the highest position in the family step by step, it would still be useless.
Because they would be limited by the family’s Dao artifacts, and must act according to the rules of those Dao artifacts.
There was fundamentally no possibility to break through from within!
Yun Ye was not aiming to become a walking corpse, nor to ignore everything from the outside and passively enjoy life… If this were the case, what would be the meaning of being reborn in a prestigious family?
Thus, only this bloody path remained.
To put it bluntly, it would require sacrificing all the initial supporters; those who first awaken will always be the foundation, yet they will never see the possibility of success.
For every great ambition to have sacrifices… dare to make a new sky for the sun and moon!
Weak individuals aiming for success are bound to face countless sacrifices and tears, which is extremely difficult. It takes countless such sacrifices to forge ultimate victory, and most of the time, these sacrifices are only the beginning, without an end.
Because their ideals rapidly deteriorate and become corrupted, unable to be sustained for long.
Yun Ye’s arrival was a stroke of luck; with him, sacrifices would indeed exist, but victory would also certainly occur.
As long as Yun Ye was alive, the ideals would keep being passed on, a situation that normally would not arise.
Yun Ye knew he was destined to bear countless lives and deaths, but he also promised to walk this road completely, to exchange sacrifices for a new world, and then… to see the rich waves of rice and the heroes beneath the evening smoke!
“This is indeed hard; even just thinking about it makes me feel breathless, to bear so many lives and hopes… But I realize I have to do it, as this world has been this way for countless years.”
Yun Ye sighed, then said to Bai Shendong, “If you do not agree, I won’t do anything to you; I can even send you to the border. You can continue to seek your own chances.”
“I understand… Have you gone mad? If so, send me to the border! I fear not death, but I don’t want to die without value; I want to go to the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect!”
