Chapter 0881: The Battle of Millennia!
Wu Yu held the two Message Talismans in his hand, about to send them out.
He was a little flustered as well. After all, this was his first time seeing a living thing as powerful as an immortal. A horror.
Back in the day, the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord must have been equally horrifying! Even the immortals had been afraid....
"Big Brother Yu...." Suddenly, Ye Xixi called out to him.
Wu Yu started, and lifted his head. He would never forget Ye Xixi's tearful eyes as she looked at him with complex feelings. Her look held the culmination of her burdens, her thoughts, and her newfound relationship with Wu Yu.
"If you send them out, I might not be able to see the outside world...." she blurted out in a choked voice. She had been boisterous until a moment ago, but this scene had changed everything. She was no fool, and naturally knew that her tribe was taking their destiny with their own hands. They were fighting for liberation from the Infernal Inferno. She also knew that this was what the Ghostly Yan Tribe had been preparing for for countless generations. It was the highest purpose of their lives!
To escape imprisonment! To escape the jail! To be free! Freedom was something that all the ghostly cultivators thirsted for. Although Ye Xixi was not an ordinary ghostly cultivator, differentiated by her goodness and bravery, she also longed to be free. If not for Wu Yu, she might’ve been by the Holy Master's side right now, watching this magnificent scene!
Wu Yu was troubled. He did not send the Message Talismans.
In truth, he was not a Yan Huang Tribe member, and he could well feel that he could remain uninvolved in the war between the Yan Huang Tribe and the Ghostly Yan Tribe.
Conversely, Ye Xixi was very important to him right now. He did not want her to walk astray after obtaining an immortal's legacy. He, too, believed that the Curtain Lifting General was a good friend of the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, and so he wished to take care of her.
The Ghostly Yan Tribe members were fighting to cast off countless years of imprisonment and humiliation, to chase their freedom. There was nothing wrong with that. But this giant made Wu Yu too scared. Even though it had nothing to do with him, this unknown entity might cause the deaths of too many. His rationality trumped his emotions.
"This thing is too fearsome. I cannot be certain that your father and the others have it well controlled. If he fights his way out, the casualties will be overwhelming. Right now, the Yan Huang Tribe is flourishing, and this blow does no one any good. All tribes will have grave casualties.... The Yan Huang Tribe is currently the strongest tribe in the entire Jambu Realm, and it is powerful. You cannot imagine it. Besides, the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor has the power of an immortal, and all the immortal kingdom emperors look to him as ruler.... Your family might also die in this war..... If you want to see the outside world, do so with your own efforts that will bring you to immortalhood. When you become immortal, and have the ability to face the Yan Huang Ancient Emperor as an equal, you can carve out a territory for the Ghostly Yan Tribe. That is the best way...."
Wu Yu could only talk to her this way. This was the best that he could think of. After all, Ye Xixi stood a very good chance of reaching immortalhood, and it would be no difficulty for an immortal to ask for a piece of land for their family and friends.
Although she was currently a ghostly cultivator, after obtaining an immortal's legacy, Wu Yu had full confidence that she could become an immortal.
Of course, that was a little iffy. At the least, the Holy Master of Flaming Devil Cave and his people would not believe any such thing. This was the chance that they had labored countless years for, their first gamble with their fate. They would definitely do this sacrifice justice, even if death or battle awaited them. They had been hunted by the Yan Huang Tribe throughout history, slaughtered as the debt of blood continued to build. Only cruel revenge would appease their anger!
Wu Yu could not stop anything. All he could do was send the two Message Talismans. And then he turned to Ye Xixi, saying, "I am sorry. I had to do it. I have no control over what happens next. Right now, we'll leave it up to fate, okay...."
Ye Xixi was crying. She was heartbroken and torn. Obviously, she would be inclined to take her parents' side, but she also felt that Wu Yu was right. Many would die in this bloody war, and she had no wish to cause those deaths, whether the lives were from her tribe or the Yan Huang Tribe.
"I really want to go out, but I don't want to kill all those people. That's a really high price.... If I can become immortal...." She struggled miserably, the first such dilemma of her life.
Wu Yu himself did not know if he had made the right choice, if it were genuine or sanctimonious justification. He finally understood that there was no absolute good or bad in this world. Many decisions could not be so simply generalized. He also berated himself for letting Ye Xixi down, but such a complex situation was difficult to resolve with a completely guiltless stance.
After all, becoming immortal was a far away dream, while the three dao crises and Great Trial of the Immortal Dao stood in their way. Who could guarantee that they would definitely reach immortalhood? Even Wu Yu himself had doubts....
Therefore, he offered a practical method to Ye Xixi, but it was a distant dream. He had to take responsibility for it. Because today, he had sent out those two Message Talismans right before Ye Xixi's eyes.
