Chapter 479: The Upcoming War
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek
Inside the brightly lit palace .
Ling Xian was sitting on top of his tatami and was holding onto a cup of aromatic tea . He fell into silence .
Dao Wu Ji had already explained everything . The advantage of this was that he could take whatever treasure he wants from the Imperishable Temple . The disadvantage was that he might end up having to pay with blood .
Don't forget, this entire ordeal is going to cause a clash between the many different kinds of beings . Every life that was going to enter the Temple will be powerful and courageous . When these Heaven's Favorites gather together, what kind of violent war will happen?
This is about the glory of the humankind . If he loses, even if nobody blames him, he will not feel great about himself . If his loss ends up causing a shift in power in the continents, then won't he become a criminal?
Don't ever think that this statement is an exaggeration to scare others . During the ancient times, the nirvana kind was the ruler of the planet and the humankind was merely a weak race on this world .
Because the humankind was not blessed with talents and was weak in capabilities, everyone else bullied them and gave them a hard time . However, every time the humankind was about to extinct, a few supreme leaders would step up, show their powers and stop the extinction of the humankind .
From the original three emperors and the five empresses, to the Keeper of the Land and Sea, they were the defining leaders of the humankind . It was because of the existence of these people was the humankind able to pass down their bloodlines and not exterminated .
As time went on, the humankind became more and more prosperous and produced more and more powerhouses . After a long while, the humankind was finally able to turn the table and eventually became the rulers of the land . Nowadays however, everything has been going downhill .
Of course, the term "downhill" is used to describe the number of humankinds, not capabilities . Despite this, the other kinds were favored by the Gods and continued to produce powerhouses who were talented battlers!
However, because the reproduction rate of the other kinds were weak, and the humankind appear to be better at it, the other kinds were outnumbered . Slowly, they exited the stage of ruling this planet and went into hiding all over the place .
Thus, the human kind became the rulers of the Taoism community!
Though the nirvana kinds fell, they did not extinct . Many powerhouses remained with them and thus, there is a chance for them to once again outcompete the human kind .
The nirvana kind had never stopped thinking about exterminating the human kind . On top of that, they were once glorious . But because they were outnumbered by the humankind, they never dared to take actions .
Though the humankinds are powerful in number, its ratio of powerhouses to normal cultivators have been low . When they fight the humankind one on one, they greatly overpower the humans . This is why the humankind never attempted to wipe out the nirvana kind .
Using Yunzhou for example, other than the 10 dynasties and nine Houses, thousands of other kinds were scattered over this piece of land . It is because everyone was similar in power, everyone hid themselves and suppressed a large scale war .
However, this does not mean the hidden kinds are not trying to snatch back the ruling position . It also does not mean that these kinds have no thoughts of attacking!
For this reason, when the Imperishable Temple appeared, all the leaders from the dynasties, Houses, and kinds made an agreement . The agreement that every time the Imperishable Temple activates, only those of the younger generation can enter and slaughter as they wish!
In other words, the Imperishable Temple was a battleground where the different kinds of beings avenge themselves .
Ever since the initial activation 300 years ago, the humankind have always lost . Afterall, the humankind lacked in talents and very few people can defeat the Heaven's Favorites from the nirvana kind . In other words, every time the temple opens its door, the humankind loses one to two Heaven's Favorites .
To know that these sacrifices are always the best of the bunch . If they didn't die of unnatural cause, they could've easily became leaders in the future . However, they end up being slaughtered in the Imperishable Temple . Even though only a few are lost every time, these numbers accumulate to a great loss .
Thus, every time the Imperishable Temple activates, the 10 dynasties and nine Houses end up with a headache . The other kinds of beings however, are ecstatic about it .
For this reason, Ling Xian was silent . It wasn't that he was afraid of the Heaven's Favorites who weren't human, he simply felt like the weight on his shoulders was too heavy . Heavy enough for him, who has been paving a path in the storm for years, to hesitate .
After all, if he goes, he will be responsible for the humankind's glory . Additionally, Dao Wu Ji had stated that he wanted Ling Xian to be the leader . What did this mean?
It meant he wanted Ling Xian to be responsible for the other Heaven's Favorites' life and ensure they do not die in the Imperishable Temple!
This was why Ling Xian was hesitant .
"Aye…"
Against Ling Xian's silence, Dao Wu Ji sighed . He though it was because Ling Xian was afraid of the other Heaven's Favorites and he was disappointed at this .
However, just as disappointment flashed by, he heard a stern statement that made his eyes flicker with joy .
"I accept . "
