Chapter 1140 There is only one choice
Wu Yequan was surprised that Ye Wanxi reacted so quickly. His gaze towards Ye Wanxi revealed a hint of regret and a somewhat unreadable emotion.
However, the situation is now settled, so there's no point in hiding it.
"You guessed right, that's exactly it."
Wu Yequan looked up at the Immortal Slaughtering Formation hanging above his head, his eyes filled with pride and ambition for becoming an immortal.
"If one wants to defy the heavens, slay immortals, and achieve enlightenment, how could the price be paid by these hundreds of thousands of useless mortals?"
Countless ordinary people behind the camera were nearly driven mad with rage. Listen to this! Does this sound like human speech? No, this isn't even human; it's a beast!
He keeps calling people useless mortals. If he looks down on them so much, why does he fawn over them? In the end, this person really doesn't care about human life. He's a complete scumbag and a degenerate!
"So you devised a plan to make us go to great lengths to restore communications within the city, to make us struggle to save ourselves, and even to deliberately let in some of the rescuers, and this thing..." Ye Wanxi pointed to the drone not far behind her, "...to absorb more negative emotions from it to further strengthen the Heaven-Slaying Array, expand the array's radiation range, and drag more people down with it."
Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's explanation, many people's expressions changed. Xiao Baihui immediately called the communications tower and several news media outlets controlling the drone, instructing them to immediately shut down the live camera broadcast.
The response they received was that it couldn't be turned off; the camera's live streaming permissions were no longer in their hands, and they couldn't manually turn it off at all, not even by forcibly restarting it.
Now that things have come to this, Xiao Baihui understands everything. He glares angrily at Wu Yequan in the camera lens, but like countless others who are watching this conspiracy, he is powerless.
"dad."
"Pass the word down and tell the S team to be ready and on standby at any time."
Xiao Jihui's eyes narrowed slightly. Team S? Doesn't that just prove Miss Ye's words before she left...?
"dad!"
"No need to say anything more, get on it right away!"
Xiao Baihui gritted his teeth, and could still faintly taste a hint of blood.
If he hadn't been driven to the brink, why would he have wanted to go this far? But sometimes, for the safety of more people, certain choices must be made!
Xiao Jihui's eyes reddened, and he gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
Because of Ye Wanxi's words, many people who were already uneasy about the situation became even more panicked, and the barrier below them became even more vibrant.
Seeing this, Wu Yequan's smile deepened: "So what? Everything has already been settled, the die is cast, you can no longer stop it, nor do you have the ability to stop it. I'll ask you one last time, will you be sensible enough to lend me a hand and save your lives and future, or will you now perish with these incompetent mortals? You only have two choices."
Feng Tianyu swallowed the blood rising in his throat, raised his hand and placed it on Ye Wanxi's hand that was holding the sword, and said coldly, "We have only ever had one choice."
Wu Yequan's smile faded slightly: "What's so good about these mortals? You are cultivators, you shouldn't be entangled by worldly affairs. Besides, they have no connection with you whatsoever, and are as fragile and insignificant as ants, why bother with them?"
Hearing him say this, Ye Wanxi looked up at him and said, "You were once a mortal, but you never understood mortals. In your eyes, they are ants, but you don't know that even ants try to survive, and humans cherish life even more. There are thousands of creatures in this world, who isn't trying to live? Mayflies live in the morning and die in the evening, and epiphyllum blooms suddenly, but they all live out their most beautiful moment."
"The reason why people can live for so many years without dying, and even grow stronger, is because although they are fragile, they are united; although they are small, they are brave. Although their lifespan is short, their legacy never dies. As long as they are determined to do something, even if it takes one, two, three, or four generations... as long as they know where the road is pointing, there will always be people who will keep going."
“Just like today, you can kill us, you can kill people in Z City, or even other places, and use them to fulfill your selfish desires and your ambition to become an immortal. But as long as even one person lives, they will carry this resentment and hope, remember everything that happened today, and one day, they will take back everything for us.”
Many viewers were stirred by Ye Wanxi's words, and some who had been fearful not long ago felt a surge of ambition and pride.
[Damn, suddenly... I'm fired up!]
[Damn it! I don't want to die, but since I'm going to die anyway, I can't just die a pathetic, pointless death, doing all the work for the villains. Can anyone tell me what I can do now? I really want to grab my Italian cannon and blast this old bastard to smithereens!]
I never imagined I would encounter something like this one day. I used to resent and hate those who went to the rescue, thinking they were useless and unable to protect us. Now, thinking about it, I suddenly feel ashamed. They are also human beings, mortal beings, and like us, they only have one life.
We always hope that if the sky falls, someone tall will hold it up, and that someone will come to our rescue when we're in danger. We never think that we're all human, and why can't we do what they can do? Ugh, I really want to fight this person to the death right now! As long as my child can survive, what do I care about losing my own life?
[...]
The ordinary people who were closely watching all this were outraged, but Wu Yequan suddenly burst into laughter, as if Ye Wanxi had said something naive and silly.
"Take back everything? These pieces of trash I can crush with a single step, what right do they have, what ability do they have to take back everything from me? From this day forward, I will become the one and only god in this world, and all things in the world will grovel at my feet. Everything that stands in my way will be destroyed. If a god comes to my way, I will kill the god; if a Buddha comes to my way, I will kill the god; let alone a mere human being?"
Wu Yequan's eyes were gloomy, with a hint of dark light: "You want to preserve the flame? I will extinguish it completely. What difficulty would it be to create a new race that will completely submit to me?"
Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu's expressions turned slightly cold. This person really did have the idea of changing the world and destroying all living beings.
"Very well, I've given you a way out, but you don't want it. Then don't blame your uncle for being ruthless. Since you two are so deeply in love, today I'll make you a pair of star-crossed lovers, which will also fulfill our fraternal bond."
Wu Yequan took one last look at the nearly complete array runes above his head, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy, and his killing intent toward Ye Wanxi and the other person was equally undisguised.
The soft iron whip in his hand suddenly extended, like a sharp longsword pointing straight at Ye Wanxi and the other person's hearts, clearly intending to pierce them through.
Everyone in front of the camera was on edge because of his actions, and Ye Wanxi and her companion tensed up as if facing a formidable enemy.
Just as the soft iron whip was about to strike Ye Wanxi and the other person, something suddenly flew out and accurately hit the soft iron whip, emitting a bright golden light!
