Chapter 758: Boss Bai!
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
The name 'Xiao Xuance' was like an eruption of thunder that broke out inside Li Yao's brain .
It was also like a bolt of lightning that connected all the pieces together!
When Li Yao and Professor Mo Xuan had discussed whether or not there could be something wrong with the Grand Illusionary Soldier Project, they had met an unanswered question, which was Xiao Xuance's motive .
Logically, as the crownless king of the Flying Star Sector and the leader of all Cultivators, Xiao Xuance did not seem to have any motivation to overturn the Flying Star Sector .
The theory that he was trying to change from the 'crownless king' into the 'crowned king' did not seem very satisfactory .
However, if Xiao Xuance had been baptized by the 'dark forest' more than a hundred years ago and killed countless innocent fellow Cultivators and ordinary people for his own survival, then…
Li Yao was instantly soaked in cold sweat . Everything was explainable now!
Bai Xinghe took his long silence for suspicion and smiled bitterly . "You don't believe it, do you? That's right . Nobody is going to believe it! Although Xiao Xuance hadn't advanced into the Nascent Soul Stage a hundred years ago, he was an expert in the Core Formation Stage, the elder of the Feathered Snakes Brotherhood, a man worthy of respect in the world of Cultivators . He punished the outlaws and helped the weak, like any noble man would do!
"When he first rescued our starship, he might not have been vicious at all . He thought that reinforcements were coming very soon . He even offered the resources on his starship to us for free .
"Several of the wounded crew members on our starships were treated on his starship . Some of them were even treated by him in person at the cost of his own spiritual energy .
"At that time, my parents couldn't stop complimenting him . Cultivators from the six major sects of Heavenly Saints City were truly different . That was exactly what an elder of a great sect looked like!
"Hehe . Maybe that was partly why my parents hesitated later .
"It never occurred to them that, however great the sect a person hails from is and however chivalrous they are, they do not have a second option when they are trapped in the dark forest .
"Out of two, one will live . If I don't kill him, he will kill me . The logic is very simple . Since my parents could think of it, Xiao Xuance definitely could, too . "
Li Yao took a long breath and asked, "Are you sure it was Xiao Xuance?"
Bai Xinghe laughed bitterly . "I was already seven at that time, and I admired the celebrities in the world of Cultivators . When my parents told me that he was an expert from the six sects of Heavenly Saints City, naturally, I bore his name in mind . How could I be mistaken?
"When I was sold to Spider Den, inside the dark fortress that was full of traps, there was not one moment when I stopped reciting the name 'Xiao Xuance' in my mind!
"Revenge! Revenge for my parents!
"Seeking revenge from Xiao Xuance was the only motivation to keep me alive in the darkness underground!
"It was a pity that I chose a wrong path .
"If I wanted revenge, I had to be stronger . However, there was only one way if I wanted to be stronger, which was to be a space pirate—the strongest, the cruelest, and the most brutal space pirate!
"When I became a space pirate, I had to kill people, a lot of innocent people . I had to pour the blood of the innocent on my unpardonable, inhuman soul!
"After repetitive plundering, slaughtering, and betraying, I became stronger and stronger, but I also became more and more desperate .
"You see, I found that the gap between me and Xiao Xuance was too huge . It was impossible for me to become stronger than him no matter how hard I tried!
"When I became a well-known brutal bandit on Spider Den, Xiao Xuance became the leader of the Feathered Snakes Brotherhood .
"When I established the Abyss Pirate Gang and rose to power on Spider Den, Xiao Xuance became the CEO of the Grand Illusionary Group and controlled most of the Spiritual Nexus!
"When the Abyss Pirate Gang became the most powerful organization on Spider Den and I became the Pirate Potentate, Xiao Xuance became the crownless king of the entire Flying Star Sector and the leader of all Cultivators!
"Haha . Hahahaha . The Pirate Potentate . Sounds cool and awesome, doesn't it? But it is just insignificant crap in front of Xiao Xuance . When I leave Spider Den, I am a rat that everyone spits and stomps on . How am I qualified to fight against Xiao Xuance?"
"Why didn't you state the truth?"
"Who would believe it?" Bai Xinghe responded . "When I sorted through the truth and my voice was loud enough, I had already become an infamous space pirate . Who would believe my story when I didn't have the slightest proof?
"Nobody would believe the truth that I told, but Xiao Xuance would certainly notice it and realize that I was the only survivor of the disaster decades ago!
"He would certain try everything he could to deal with me!
"As the CEO of the Grand Illusionary Group, he had more than half of the Spiritual Nexus under his control . It would be more than easy for him to delete, add, or forge information!"
Li Yao was silent .
It was also why he had never proposed his assumptions on the Spiritual Nexus .
He was afraid that, wherever he posted a thread of the 'truth', it would be deleted instantly, and Xiao Xuance would trace it back to him without any trouble!
"Now, do you understand why I would rather die before I become an Immortal Cultivator?" Bai Xinghe sighed . "Yes . I firmly believe in the Dark Forest Theory, but my parents died because of the Dark Forest Theory . I cannot regard the Dark Forest Theory as the ultimate Dao for me!
