On the mountain peak, a gentle breeze blows.
Jiang Hao sits opposite the Human Emperor, looking at the tea that was pushed his way. He slowly picks it up and says:
âCan you drink tea in this state, Senior?â
âI can drink, just not like before.â The Human Emperor looks at Jiang Hao with a smile: âBut I indeed never imagined that Mr. Dao San back then would be someone from this era.â
Jiang Hao also sighs: âYes, I never thought I would casually encounter an emperor of that era.â
Putting down the teapot, the Human Emperor suddenly stands up and respectfully bows to Jiang Hao: âBack then, thank you for your intervention, sir.â
Jiang Hao looks at him, pausing for a moment before saying: âSenior, do you not blame me? If you figure it out, Xuanyuan Pingâan died at my hands.â
Hearing this, the Human Emperor laughs and says:
âDo you think I am being unreasonable, sir?â
Then he returns to his seat and says: âAs a father, I completely understand Pingâanâs actions. I imagine his mother never knew what he planned to do, nor what he would end up doing.
Besides, it was the only choice.
Not even the qualification for two choices existed.â
Jiang Hao nods solemnly and says: âThatâs true. If there had been two options back then, perhaps I would have let them decide.â
The Blue-skirted Fairy was too weak.
She could not protect Xuanyuan Pingâan.
Xuanyuan Pingâan seemed frail, but in reality, his spirit was extraordinarily strong.
He was capable of protecting his mother.
So no second option existed.
Jiang Hao was forced to choose to save the Blue-skirted Fairy.
Xuanyuan Pingâan could not be saved.
âWhat exactly happened back then?â The Human Emperor hesitated for a long time before asking.
Jiang Hao recalled for a moment and said: âBack then, they should have fallen into the abyss, eventually dying at Cheng Yunâs hands, with Dao Er making the moves.
However, Dao Er did not keep them in the abyss but chose to take them to Tianyi Temple.
Tianyi Temple became the battlefield for me and Cheng Yun, so they were brought there, but they also couldnât escape death.
Similarly, he didnât bring karma to the future, so he managed to bring them before me smoothly.
Xuanyuan Pingâan woke up and said he knew everything and begged me to intervene.â
Jiang Hao looks at the Human Emperor and calmly says: âBack then, my strength was not strong. I could only borrow the coffin on my body and find a place to hide, naturally putting them in it.
Logically, Xuanyuan Pingâan should have already died upon entering.â
Hearing this, the Human Emperor immediately caught certain words: âLogically?â
âHmm.â Jiang Hao did not hide anything and truthfully said: âIn the past years, our understanding was not necessarily correct, so perhaps the intervention of a Saint might present an opportunity, though it is slim.
Of course, as long as the coffin is opened, the chances become even slimmer.â
He pauses, then adds: âActually, thereâs no need to worry because Cheng Yun will arrive soon. Perhaps everything will cease to exist.
No need to worry excessively.â
Hearing this, the Human Emperor is taken aback and then smiles saying: âYou really know how to comfort people, sir.â
Jiang Hao does not mind and instead says: âHelpless Heaven said Senior might have a sword. I just happen to have a cloth here. Helpless Heaven said it works well, and Senior might need it too.â
Saying that, Jiang Hao takes out the cloth and hands it to the Human Emperor.
The latter receives it and feels the cloth seems quite nice.
Then he takes out the Xuanyuan Sword.
He begins to wipe it.
Unexpectedly, with just one wipe, the Dao essence within the Xuanyuan Sword is instantly filled, resonating with the heavens and earth.
The Human Emperor freezes, somewhat shocked, looking at Jiang Hao: âWhere did you get this miraculous fabric, sir?â
Jiang Hao truthfully replies: âBought it casually from the street, just used it to wipe many things, and it becomes more useful.â
Human Emperor: ââŚâ
Then he asks what the cloth is typically used for wiping.
Jiang Haoâs answer is simple, dirt, various rusty magical treasures, just not suitable for wiping uses, it feels not clean.
Human Emperor falls silent.
Finally, he sighs and says: âIt is indeed good. Gu Jin might need it too. But sir should tell him itâs not very clean for wiping desks, ask him to be careful.â
Jiang Hao feels Helpless Heaven and the Human Emperor are good people.
Thinking too much for Gu Jin.
âThe land seems to be starting to shatter.â Jiang Hao looks at the Human Emperor and says: âDo you think they can guard it, Senior?â
âThis sir doesnât need to worry about, each era has its own tribulations, these tribulations rely on the efforts of the living creatures of the era themselves.
Itâs not like a sufficiently powerful person can avoid these tribulations.
Making tribulations from unavoidable to resistible is enough for many other races to be grateful to you, sir.
Of course, sir will certainly be resented by many, but being a person like you, you already donât need to care about their feelings.
Otherwise, it would be the greatest tribulation here.â The Human Emperor looks at Jiang Hao with a smile: âOnce you start to care about their tribulations, sir, you will lose your Dao.
The many other races will perish in your hands sooner or later.â
The Human Emperor looks at the person in front of him, eyes filled with a certain fervor: âYou only need to move forward unwaveringly, sir, to walk your own Dao.
No need to worry about whether the many other races behind can survive.
How they fare, has nothing to do with you, sir.
Of course, what I can do is ensure that you, sir, will not be ambushed by those behind you.
Itâs impossible to eliminate completely.
But I can assure you, such people wonât live until that time.
You, sir, can step forward wholeheartedly without any further concern.
As a former Human Emperor, it seems my words hold a certain credibility.â
Jiang Hao looks at the Human Emperor with a bit of surprise.
Never would have thought that the Human Emperor who was willing to sacrifice himself for all living beings in the world.
