Volume 2 Chapter 150: On the Path to Immortality
So at this moment they were silent, confused by Ye Tingmu's soul-searching.
When a person is enlightened, the first thing they do is deny their own beliefs.
Then faith collapsed.
Then it was a sudden enlightenment, and I finally saw the essence and truth of things.
Strange colors appeared in their eyes from time to time, and there was helplessness and self-mockery on the corners of their mouths.
Seeing this, Ye Tingmu continued to speak, but this time his words were no longer as passionate as before. Instead, they were filled with a bit of loneliness and sadness.
"I have a message for you all: When will the cycle of revenge end? Forgive others wherever you can."
"What I mean is, if we always repay evil with evil, and stop killing with killing, then the vicious cycle will never stop. If we want to end it all, end it completely, what we can do is not to kill, not to seek revenge, but to be tolerant and understanding."
He paused here and raised his tone a little.
"So, everyone, are you willing to end this here, with me? Let your children, your descendants, your subjects no longer be trapped in this furnace of hatred, and let innocent blood no longer stain this land red."
If someone else said something like this, people would just laugh at him.
Overestimating your abilities? Daydreaming? Living in a dream? Rumors?
But if the person who said this was Ye Tingmu, then everything would be different.
He is Ye Tingmu.
The Sword King of Jiuzhou is also the strongest person in the East China Sea today.
With just one sword, he could wipe out the coalition forces formed by hundreds of countries.
If killing could stop the war, no one would want to continue.
Maybe someone has thought about it before, but no one has ever done it.
Because in this world where strength is respected and the strong prey on the weak.
Such an idea is too ridiculous.
But the current Ye Tingmu is an opportunity.
He has enough strength to say this because he can suppress the Eight Gods Kingdom.
As long as the eight major countries have no objection, what objection can the other small countries have?
But even so.
They remained silent, and no one was willing to answer Ye Tingmu's question first.
However, at this moment, a person took a step forward and said something that shocked Ye Tingmu.
"I do."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
It was not for any other reason, but because the person who said this was the ancestor of the Canghai Empire and also the emperor of the Canghai Empire, Canghaikong.
Everyone knows that Canghai has the deepest grudge against Jiuzhou.
Ye Tingmu even killed Canghaikong's son, grandson, and daughter.
Such a deep blood feud.
How can it be solved?
But at this moment, he was the first person to respond to Ye Tingmu.
Even Ye Tingmu was shocked at this moment.
Canghaikong saw that everyone was silent and looking at him.
He said in a deep voice, "Everyone knows that I, Canghai, and Jiuzhou, have been at war for years. During my 1,000 years on the throne, it was even worse, with great vengeance. All I ask for is peace in the world, but if you want peace, then the East China Sea can only have one voice. I wanted to be that voice, but I failed."
"If Sword King can do it, I, Cang Haikong, am willing to support you unconditionally, even if it means giving up the throne."
Ye Tingmu was stunned. He was stunned for several seconds before asking, "You don't hate me?"
Cang Haikong chuckled softly, his laughter carrying a hint of bitterness.
"It would be a lie to say I don't hate you, but I can still distinguish between family affairs and national affairs, small grudges and greater justice. What the Sword King said is the general trend, so I have nothing to say."
Ye Tingmu took a deep breath.
His chest rose and fell slightly.
He asked himself if he was not as good as the old man in front of him.
Now he finally understood who Chao Xiao looked like.
He really looks like his uncle.
Is this the inheritance of Canghai’s will?
It really proves the saying that in troubled times, there is never a shortage of people willing to fight for peace for the world.
What is lacking is only strength.
Be it King Wu or the empty ocean before my eyes.
They are all such people.
He has a righteous heart, which makes people respect him.
It’s just a pity that they lack the strength to crush everything.
So they can only borrow strength.
This leads to them not being good people in the eyes of others.
Just like Qin Shi Huang, didn’t everyone call him a tyrant?
With such a person and such an empire, it is no wonder that the people of Canghai would rather die than work for him. And there is Wang Changsheng, who has been hiding in the enemy country for 600 years. Although his methods are somewhat shameful, his spirit is worthy of admiration.
Ye Tingmu bowed and saluted to Cang Haikong.
He said: "Senior, you are righteous, and I will obey you."
Canghaikong didn't say anything, but just lowered his head slightly.
Ye Tingmu straightened his back again and looked at everyone again.
"Everyone, what do you say?"
The other six divine nations' ancestors looked at each other for a moment, and after a moment they all responded, "I am willing to put aside our hatred and lead all our people to create great achievements together with the Sword King."
"I would like to do that, too."
"And I am willing too."
“..........”
The Seven Divine Kingdoms were the first to express their stance.
The rest of the small countries naturally followed suit.
Ye Tingmu came back to his senses from the touch that Canghaikong had just given him.
The heart is complicated and heavy.
Since the resentment has been formed, it has become condensed.
How can we achieve cohesion?
Ye Tingmu knew in his heart that hatred was still needed.
Hatred is always the best thing to control people's hearts.
Only if the entire East China Sea has a common enemy will it have neither the time nor the energy to engage in internal strife.
Even though I did this, it always seemed somewhat contrary to what I had just said.
But there is no other choice.
Moreover, when it comes to the art of controlling people, there is no good or bad method in itself.
The difference lies in how to use it.
And he had already found the common enemy for Donghai.
He spoke again, his tone becoming high and excited again, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
"In that case, let's write off all past grudges. Let me get back to the point and talk about the root cause of today's battle. The second one is becoming an immortal."
"We cultivate, and who doesn't want to become immortal? But the immortals in heaven have blocked our path. And today, they are using the rights that should belong to everyone to force you to become my enemy, and force you to bring your people into a bloody battle with me."
"His heart is despicable. The rights to be taken away belong to us. Why should he be rewarded?"
"I don't know if any of your loved ones have been harmed by the malicious immortals, but mine died right before my eyes. With his strength, he was definitely capable of transcending the tribulation and ascending to heaven. However, because of the selfishness of the immortals in heaven, he fell under the thunder tribulation. A generation of heroes died with hatred in their hearts. It is truly despicable."
He spoke in a few words, coupled with his passionate tone.
At this moment, a ball of anger inadvertently ignited in the hearts of those present.
What Ye Tingmu said, isn’t it what they think in their hearts?
Isn’t the purpose of their conquest of the Nine Provinces to become immortals and ascend to heaven?
But they could also ascend through their own efforts.
It was just forcibly cut off by the immortals in the sky.
"As the saying goes, to destroy someone's opportunities is like killing their parents. I, Ye Tingmu, will never live in harmony with the heavens in this life."
"Today, I promise again that a thousand years from now, I will ascend straight to the Ninth Heaven and reopen the Heavenly Road for my East China Sea, blessing future generations. All the saints in my East China Sea can ask for the way to immortality and rebuild the path to immortality."
