Chapter 527 The Truth from Two Hundred Years Ago
"Because... I'm just a mortal."
Under Yu Wei's aggressive gaze, Hao Guang finally spoke again.
"I am different from you. I have never been a favored child of heaven. I am just an ordinary mortal."
“Even if I’m lucky enough to be chosen by the Sect Master and join the Golden Crow Sect, I will always be just an insignificant outer disciple.”
No hatred, no resentment...
Hao Guang met Yu Wei's angry gaze calmly, as if he was talking about an unrelated person.
"So when Senior Brother invited me to join you, my first reaction was not relief or joy, but fear and uneasiness."
"How could I be so lucky as to dance on the same stage with you, a group of gifted people?"
"How could I be so worthy of being the most trusted junior fellow apprentice of Sun Star Lord?"
"Those behaviors that you are accustomed to are the most unreasonable things in the world to me."
"Mortals are merely the soil that breeds the celestial beings, just a group of talking cattle and horses. This is the code of conduct and order that has been in the celestial world for thousands of years and cannot be violated."
"I don't know why you want to violate this kind of norms and order..."
"All I know is that this is definitely not something an ordinary mortal like me can get involved in."
Yu Wei, who was so angry that she laughed, widened her eyes, and her cold tone revealed a chilling murderous intent.
"So, this is why you betrayed me?"
"The Star Lord trusted you so much and treated you so well, but you chose to backstab him for such a ridiculous reason?"
He shook his head slowly. Although Haoguang considered himself a mortal, he knew what it meant to repay a favor. Of course, he would not choose to betray for such a simple reason.
"Like I said before, when I knew that my eldest brother wanted to create a kingdom of God on earth, my first reaction was panic and uneasiness."
"So, I secretly told Master about his idea without telling my eldest brother."
His tone calmed down a little, and Haoguang's eyes seemed a little dazed, as if he was recalling what happened that day.
"Master told me not to make it public and not to tell Senior Brother."
"I didn't know what Master meant by what he said to me at that time..."
"All I know is that I finally don't have to bear this pressure alone."
"After that, I followed my eldest brother down the mountain and watched step by step how he grew from a senior disciple of the Golden Crow Sect to become the Sun Star Lord."
"I still remember that when the eldest brother was named 'Sun Star Lord', his excitement and excitement were so real."
"That's another side of my senior brother that I've never seen before."
"It is the realization of his ideals and aspirations that he has always had in his heart."
Staring at Haoguang, Yu Wei questioned again.
"If that's the case, then you should know even more clearly how great the Star Lord is!"
"He wants to create a world where mortals can survive and have equal conversations with practitioners..."
"This is an ideal that no one in the heavenly world has ever achieved or even proposed since ancient times."
"Why did you stab your senior brother in the back at the last moment when you were about to succeed!"
Faced with Yu Wei's repeated questioning, Hao Guang, who had just come back to his senses from his memories, just smiled strangely.
"The last moment of success?"
"Haha, so this is the biggest difference between me and you gifted ones!"
"I can see the reality clearly, and I also know what the bottom line of Master and the others is!"
"From the very beginning, your identities have never been hidden from the leaders of the various sects..."
"Even the rise of the eldest brother was done with the tacit approval of the leaders of various factions."
"You think no one knows your identity?"
"In fact, that's just Master and the others want to see how far you can go."
"And I am just a chess piece that Master and his men have placed next to Senior Brother - a chess piece that has no choice at all."
"How else do you think I could have survived dangers and gained opportunities and good fortunes time and time again with my cultivation?"
"To be frank, your meeting with Senior Brother was made possible by the secret arrangements of our masters."
Looking at Yu Wei who had an expression of disbelief on her face, Hao Guang added further.
"From the Mysterious Demon Lord to the True Lord Dangmo, this world has never been home to only the proud sons of heaven like you who are exploring a way out..."
"Like Master, they are also looking for a way that doesn't require them to become celestial beings."
After hearing what Haoguang said, Yu Wei became even more confused.
"If that's the case, then why did you...or why did you guys want to backstab Xingjun?"
This time, the weirdness on Haoguang's face turned into undisguised sarcasm.
"See, I told you guys you're so naive!"
"You always think that the world is black and white, and that you can solve all problems as long as you find out the truth."
"But have you ever thought that even Master and the others may not necessarily approve of the path pioneered by Senior Brother?"
"Master and the others want to use the power of our eldest brother to find a way to live forever without becoming a celestial being or ascending to a strange world..."
"But on this path... there is no place for mortals!"
Before Yu Wei could open her mouth to refute anything, Hao Guang immediately told her a piece of news that shattered her worldly views.
"In the eyes of Master and his people, mortals only need to play the role of cattle and horses obediently."
"Having an equal dialogue with a practitioner? That's just wishful thinking!"
"If mortals can have an equal dialogue with practitioners, then what is the meaning of longevity? What is the meaning of my persistence in practicing for so many years?"
"Besides, do you think everyone has the same idea as my master?"
"In the eyes of the powerful people of the previous era, my master was actually considered a rather pedantic and weak person."
"There are many people like my master who just want to take advantage of the 'Final War' started by my senior brother to become celestial beings!"
"They don't have time to wait any longer. They must become truly immortal before their lifespan ends!"
This one sentence expressed the innermost thoughts of the vast majority of practitioners, and Hao Guang felt it was not enough so he added another sentence.
"For example, your master - the previous leader of the Lotus Sect..."
"Do you think she really died of the five decays of heaven and man?"
"No, she was one of the main forces who participated in the sneak attack on Senior Brother!"
Yu Wei, as if struck by lightning, remained silent for a long time, because she suddenly remembered the various abnormal behaviors of her master before his death, and she couldn't help but believe Hao Guang's words a little more.
"No matter what, you betrayed Xingjun after all, you must die!"
