Chapter 742: The Choice of Humanity, Countless Heroes!

What Qing Tian did was undoubtedly extremely malicious.

When faced with no other choice, people could only resist and roar out their anger. But what if a path for survival opened up?

After all, Qing Tian is a True Immortal, viewing ordinary beings as mere dust.

To spare a hundred people is just a superficial promise; the possibility of breaking it is exceedingly low.

Compared to the certainty of death when confronting a True Immortal, this undoubtedly presents a viable path for survival.

So, what was the choice of the many cultivators in the parallel world?

In a silence that echoed,

all the cultivators and citizens questioned their own hearts. Would they sacrifice their lives for justice, bravely choosing death, or would they abandon their own humanity and raise their blades against their kin?

Living in comfort, without needing to labor, while the Celestial Empire provided support, they could survive without concern, having faced nearly no suffering…

This was the background of the vast majority of citizens, the essence of their souls.

An easy environment makes them fear death, leading to a lack of will, doesn’t it?

Theoretically, yes.

But if they were thrown into an ancient society and forced to be slaves without rights, they would likely choose to end their own lives within a day.

Just like the former Yun Ye, after experiencing comfort, they found it difficult to accept hardship, leading them to view death as a better option.

In today’s era, faced with the threat of True Immortals, nearly all ordinary beings reached a conclusion.

“Indeed, it is easier to die!”

“But don’t worry; before I die, I will curse you, Qing Tian! No! I will curse all of you immortals! I will wait for you in hell! The future must belong to the human race, the future must belong to the Celestial Empire!!!”

“True Immortal, all suffering comes from you; without you, would the Divine Empress have needed to self-destruct and perish alongside the demons?”

“Pawns… Ha! Without the Divine Empress, we wouldn’t even have the right to exist in this world; we were born to be slaves!”

“Old dog Qing Tian, come kill me!!!”

The roars gradually echoed, resonating loudly, shaking the heavens and touching everything in sight.

As an immortal, Qing Tian naturally could not mishear or fail to hear these roars.

He gazed at the parallel world, not turning furious nor destroying it because of this.

The situation was still evolving.

Without power, and wisdom rendered ineffective, ordinary beings had no choice; they could not fight and compete for that bloody hundred spots.

But every parallel world had cultivators; they were the potential victors of this selection, and the final result depended on them.

The roars of ordinary people held no weight for the esteemed Qing Tian. He only cared to see those great cultivators, those rulers, as their true forms were revealed.

The Tomorrow Dao cannot change human nature!

And then,

In the Heavenly Palace of the Honored Monarch, various Honored Positions were present, their expressions filled with solemnity and menace.

At that very moment.

“Bang!”

“Just drink a cup of wine and hit the road. Who hasn’t died throughout history? Even the Divine Empress can sacrifice herself for the Celestial Empire; why can’t I?”

“Today, I’ll insult him severely! What kind of rubbish True Immortal is he? Ancient Monarchs set a good example; how could the Immortal Mother have raised such a beast?”

The wine cup shattered on the ground, and its owner rose freely. It was the respected Honored Being, Liang Xin, who laughed heartily, radiating brilliance from his entire being.

This marked a perfect sublimation, a sacrifice of everything. Facing the True Immortal, he showed no possibility of a second strike.

“Indeed! Damn the immortals, damn the ruling Dao! I truly fear death, but I fear living like a dead man even more. If I must abandon all my principles just to survive, then I wouldn’t respect myself!”

“The Divine Empress created this flourishing era for us to build our backbone, to ensure human prosperity. How could a mere false immortal make me kneel?”

“Let me rise!”

A hero spoke his mind boldly, laughing heartily. Waves of aura surged into the sky as many cultivators faced Qing Tian directly.

As for the traitors?

Who cares?

Let them betray; let them fight, and reveal their true ugliness to compete for those one hundred spots!

In this land of certain death, for those unwilling to bow their heads, this moment of glory is enough!

“Die, Qing Tian!”

So many heroes roared, confronting Qing Tian. At last, Qing Tian’s expression turned dark; such momentum already proved the faith in the Celestial Empire.

The Tomorrow Dao does not exist for personal wealth or life and death; whatever reasons they seek to justify their willingness to die can be found. No matter how this will is vilified, the final result is enough to shake hearts and prove everything!

“Boom!”

The rebels turned to ashes, and the entire parallel world quickly became desolate. Seeing this, even the cultivators who once wanted to fight for their lives couldn’t help but stop.

In the face of this scene, everything seemed meaningless. What significance does survival hold?

Family, friends—all familiar ties would vanish after this choice.

Going forth alone, coexisting with evil?

…

“Qing Tian!!!”

Despite seeing this future multiple times, Yun Ye still could not accept it. Power suppressed him, breaking the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth of Mystic Heaven.

However, the Mystic Heaven dimension was descending; it had once been opened by Mystic Heaven. After being sacrificed, it transformed into the first day.

The secret of becoming a True Immortal lay in the first day. He had once sacrificed Heaven’s Cavern to become part of the world, instantly rewriting the rules, so much so that even Qing Tian, who had altered the rules multiple times, couldn’t stop it, allowing him to ascend as an immortal.

Through multiple eras, True Immortals had plotted to become the Master of Heaven’s Cavern, using sacrifices to fulfill wishes and change rules.

When the third day of Red Heaven took shape, Mystic Heaven finally realized something was wrong. He relinquished his home advantage and completely banned Cave Techniques.

Cave Techniques require a corresponding physique to match; without them, it is hard to give birth to the proper physique. Even if they later obtained Cave Techniques, the possibility of opening would approach zero. This measure ended the era of Heaven’s Cavern, leaving the human race without a Master of Heaven’s Cavern for countless millennia.

Yet, the possibility still existed in the Red Heaven realm. The emergence of colorful clouds was one aspect and led to the Nine Lives celestial clans sacrificing Dao Classics, which prompted the future Path Lord’s birth—this was another.

And Yun Ye’s arrival formed the third!

“Five Elements flow, Open Heaven and Earth!”

“Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang, Chaos begins to divide!”

The two forces of Opening Heaven and Earth erupted in fierce conflict. Mystic Heaven gradually awakened his Heaven’s Cavern, though it was arduous. Yet with boundless power, he managed to resist Yun Ye for a brief moment.

“For a great Master of Heaven’s Cavern like the Divine Empress, this level of power is insignificant, but it is enough to deal with you.”

Mystic Heaven declared.

His Royal Path body blazed fiercely, constantly in a state of self-destruction, yet the True Immortal body ignored the conservation of energy, continuously supplying power to repair itself.

“Die!”

Qing Tian also struck back.

The Qing Heaven dimension was sacrificed for him, allowing him to command a portion of its power, though it was far from Mystic Heaven. Still, it counted as a powerful force to suppress the Royal Path effortlessly. Under the accumulation of endless energy, it posed a considerable threat.
