Chapter 114 Long Batian's Choice
Xiao Shi stared intently at him, and A Chen felt a cold sweat break out all over his body.
Back then, his mother chose to sacrifice herself for the survival of the entire Holy Witch Clan.
In her reincarnation, her mother chose to sacrifice herself for the survival of the entire Algae Planet.
But if she were to choose to sacrifice the entire Holy Witch Clan to save the Misty Heavenly Realm, would she do it without hesitation?
For example, if she were asked to choose to sacrifice the entire Algae Star to save the Gorent Galaxy, what would she choose?
Back then, the reason why those seniors in the Muyang Realm chose to self-destruct collectively was perhaps because they were forced into it.
It's possible that the habitable space in the entire Muyang Realm has been reduced to the point where the Gray Mist and the Fine Demon Clan can no longer support the survival of most people.
Resisting means death, not resisting also means death, the result of resisting is that you can drag the enemy down with you, so they chose to perish together.
While the Misty Heavenly Realm is also facing a great crisis, it is certainly not the final moment yet.
"Senior Xiao Shi, why don't you tell me the method to quickly become stronger?" Achen said.
"You've thought it through. You want to stand up and fight against the Little Demon." Xiao Shi used a statement of certainty.
"That's right. In the entire Misty Heaven Realm, there are very few powerful individuals who can cross realms; the vast majority of people have to stay here."
Even the strong who are willing to sacrifice themselves do not have the right to decide everyone's life or death.
For them, life is only once, so why should they risk their lives to delay the destruction of the entire universe?
Even I wouldn't be willing to sacrifice the lives of my sister, my parents, and my closest friends for the sake of some so-called greater good.
So all I can do is charge into battle when the demons attack, and stop them from harming my family and friends.
"Perhaps I still won't be able to stop them in the end, but I will do my best to stall until the very last moment," Ah Chen said.
"Haha! Good, it seems you've really figured it out. In that case, I'll tell you the method."
In fact, the notes left behind by the powerful figures of Muyang Realm also recorded a secret of the Ximo Clan.
That is, they themselves are huge energy carriers. As long as they can capture the Demon Clan, they can extract their energy and use it for their own purposes using a specific formation.
Furthermore, this energy has no side effects; as long as you don't consume too much at once, there is no risk of your body exploding.
So, next I can take you to capture the Little Demons, and then we'll go to a space fragment where time flows extremely slowly, so you can gradually absorb their energy.
"That way, when you return, you will be very powerful," Xiao Shi said.
“If your method is feasible, why don’t you take some strong individuals with a strong sense of justice to do this?” Achen said.
"Because the Fine Demon Clan is born in the gray mist, powerful vitality is their nemesis."
Children under sixteen have the strongest vitality; in your presence, the Demon Clan cannot complete their transformation.
The fact that they can't transform means that they are not invincible in front of a child like you.
"That way, you'll have more opportunities to kill or capture them," Xiao Shi said.
Ah Chen finally understood why Senior Xiao Shi chose to tell him: among children under sixteen, his fighting strength was among the strongest.
Shifang Academy recruits outstanding talents under the age of twenty, and the vast majority of his classmates are over sixteen years old.
So far, among the people he knows, besides himself, only Meng Hanhai and Nie Xiaoxiao are considered to have strong combat abilities under the age of sixteen.
However, most of Nie Xiaoxiao's power came from her contracted plant, Xianxian. He didn't even know if Xianxian could exert its full combat power in the gray fog.
So, after all the calculations, Meng Hanhai is the only one who seems relatively reliable.
When Xiao Shi saw that A Chen's gaze was fixed on the next room, she smiled and said, "If that little girl next door wants to go, you can bring her along too."
Actually, your sister would be the best choice, but unfortunately she's too young.
"I would never take Xi'er into danger!" Achen blurted out.
"Don't get so worked up! Although you're a good brother who would risk your life to protect your sister."
But have you ever thought about what better option you would have besides protecting her and helping her escape if the Misty Heavenly Realm were to fall?
And the escape route is not as simple as you imagine. Don't think that having a mythical beast will allow you to easily traverse the starry sky.
Even if that little guy grows to be very powerful in the future, it is still just a cub.
"If you don't use this time to improve its strength, it won't be able to carry you and your sister safely to other realms on its own," Xiao Shi said.
"Don't worry, senior, I will definitely improve my strength and Xingyao's strength as soon as possible," Achen said.
"And that giant lizard you just signed a contract with, it has thick skin and can at least protect you from some of the attacks from the Little Demons," Xiao Shi reminded her again.
Only after being reminded by him did Achen remember the lizard king Long Batian sleeping in his spirit beast bag.
Since leaving the Spirit Realm, this guy has fallen into a deep sleep for some unknown reason, to the point that Ah Chen has almost forgotten his existence.
In fact, the contract with Long Batian was just a temporary cooperation between the two parties. Long Batian helped him pass the fourth level of the Spirit Realm, while he took Long Batian away from that desert.
He originally thought that once he arrived in the Misty Heaven Realm, as long as Long Batian was willing to separate from him, he would immediately terminate their contract.
It's just that the Lizard King has been asleep all this time, so there hasn't been a chance to break the contract.
“Senior Xiao Shi, I have a prior agreement with that Lizard King. I can break the contract with him at any time if he wants to, so he cannot be considered as part of my fighting force,” Achen said.
"But I don't think he necessarily wants to break the contract with you. He's a country bumpkin living in the desert of the Spirit Realm, and suddenly he's in the Misty Heaven Realm, completely unfamiliar with the place and the people."
"Besides, there are many powerful people here. Once he breaks his contract with you, he could be slaughtered, skinned, eaten, and have his demon core extracted in no time," Senior Xiao Shi sneered.
“The old man is right, Ah Chen, I will not break the contract with you,” the Lizard King suddenly jumped out of the spirit beast pouch.
"Hey? Long Batian, when did you wake up?" Achen asked in surprise.
“I woke up when this old man was having a private talk with you, and I heard your entire conversation,” Long Batian said.
He was extremely grateful at that moment. Luckily, he had chosen to trust Ah Chen and made a pact with him to leave the Spirit Realm so that he could enjoy delicious food more often.
He had also witnessed the gray fog on the sixth floor firsthand, and the feeling of helplessness of being enveloped by the gray fog and experiencing numbness throughout his body was still fresh in his memory.
He had no doubt that if the gray mist was allowed to continue spreading, the entire spirit realm would eventually be swallowed up.
The reason why the Demon Plant King on the fifth level of the Spirit Realm chose to give one of his clones to Achen was probably because he was worried about being wiped out in the gray fog and wanted to leave himself a chance to survive.
“Alright, since you insist on staying, Long Batian, then come with me to hunt the Fine Demon Clan.” Achen nodded.
