"Become a saint?" The other women suddenly realized, and their doubts were cleared up after his reminder.
Even the Lord of Slaughter and Pang Meng nodded secretly. They only knew that their master was planning something big, but they didn't understand what he was planning.
Di Yao revealed a hint of admiration on his face: "You are indeed clever, you were able to guess my thoughts. No wonder you were able to ruin Di Jun's plans and even win over his wife's heart."
Compared to the former, he seemed to appreciate the latter more.
Thinking of his mother's past experiences, Zu'an and Xihe's actions gave him a sense of vengeful pleasure.
Upon hearing this, the women looked at Zu An with strange expressions.
Zuan: "..."
"Your Excellency, please do not speak nonsense. Xihe and I are a couple of gentlemen, not at all as sordid as you describe."
“A bright and clear day…” Emperor Yao chuckled, too lazy to argue with him about it. “Indeed, I do want to use the human race to promote the path to sainthood. Everyone’s path to sainthood is different and there is nothing wrong with that. On the contrary, you should thank me.”
"I thank you?" Zu An laughed angrily.
"Of course!" Emperor Yao said proudly, "Look at the human race today, weak, ignorant, and backward. But look at you and your friends around you. You are all human, and you are all bright, beautiful, and incredibly powerful. This proves that my path is correct, and the future of the human race is indeed prosperous. As beneficiaries, shouldn't you thank me?"
Zuan frowned, having to admit that what the other party said did make some sense.
Without him, the human race would not have flourished, and he and his friends might not even exist.
"But for your own selfish desires, you have caused the deaths of countless living beings in the world."
Hearing his words, Di Yao shook his finger: "Your statement is wrong in two ways. First, it was Di Jun who killed countless lives, not me. Second, this was not for my own selfish reasons, but for the greater good. Besides, if it weren't for me, Di Jun would have killed even more lives."
Zuan and the others exchanged glances. Although they knew the other party was arguing sophistry, his logic was self-consistent, and it was indeed difficult to refute him.
"So we have never been enemies," Di Yao smiled as he saw their expressions. "I am not saying this because I am afraid of you, but because we really do not need to fight. Even if you win and kill me, it may affect your future. At that time, the very foundation of your existence will be gone."
Zuan took a deep breath, thinking of the records about Yao in human history. He knew that moving against the other party could indeed easily affect the entire history.
Moreover, the other party is a crucial historical juncture. Even if I do my best, I may not be able to move him. Just like before, Xihe tried her best, but in the end, she still couldn't change the outcome of ten suns appearing at the same time and nine of them being shot down.
Then he pointed to Pang Meng beside him: "Since you say we are not enemies, why did you send him to harm Chang'e!"
Emperor Yao frowned slightly: "I only asked him to find the elixir of immortality, but I didn't expect him to take matters into his own hands and have such evil intentions towards Chang'e."
Upon hearing his words, Pang Meng immediately became anxious: "Master, I have served you diligently all these years, you must save me."
Emperor Yao, however, remained indifferent: "You should have expected this day when you used my name to run amok outside. Besides, I have saved you several times before. Not counting the time just now, you were almost completely destroyed before, and it was I who helped you recover."
When Pang Meng heard him say that, he knew he couldn't count on him, so he simply transformed into countless little black pigs and ran off in all directions.
This is his life-saving skill; he used it to escape last time.
Although this would result in heavy losses and a very long recovery period, at least it would save lives.
The Lord of Slaughter was startled by this scene, and even Emperor Yao was somewhat surprised, never expecting him to make such a decisive move.
But Zaun reacted quickly, and when the other party forced the Mermaid Queen to be "separated from him forever," his aura remained locked on the other party.
So he made his move almost instantly, shooting a sun-shooting arrow directly at the target. The arrow exploded into countless golden arrows in mid-air, covering a space of several miles in radius.
boom!
Countless black piglets screamed as they were nailed to death by a rain of arrows, creating a crater tens of meters deep in that area. A corner of the city gate tower of Taoqiu City nearby also collapsed and was obliterated.
Fortunately, Emperor Yao had ordered the people in the city to evacuate, otherwise they might have been caught in the crossfire.
Sensing that Pang Meng had been utterly destroyed by this attack, the Lord of Slaughter couldn't help but swallow hard and subconsciously took a few steps back.
The enemy's Sun-Shooting Bow is truly terrifying; I might not be able to withstand it.
Seeing that Zu'an's gaze had shifted to him, he hurriedly returned to Di Yao's side: "Master!"
In the past, he called out to his master with a sense of shame and anger, but now he did so sincerely, for only he could save his own life.
Emperor Yao looked hesitant, as if he was considering whether or not to save him.
At this moment, Salami's voice rang out: "Hmph, release my father and me, or this little girl will be dead."
It turns out that she had taken advantage of the chaos of battle to return to the city and kidnap Sorenshi.
Seeing that Sorenshi was still alive, Zuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's so good that you're alright."
“Brother Zu…” Soren Shi was filled with shame. The other party had entrusted him with guarding prisoners, but he had been bewitched and had become a prisoner himself.
"Whether she lives or dies depends on your choice," Salami tightened the knife against Sorenshi's neck. "Do you know how she let us go back then?"
