Chapter 615: Chapter 121 Determination

Universal Unity.

Chi Yu Zi and the Fox Fairy Li Miao couldn’t help but hold their breath, a lingering fear appearing in their eyes.

For the strong ones, this is not a ’good word’; instead, it’s a calamity.

Strong ones inevitably occupy vast resources, an unchanging law of eternity.

Even if they don’t desire it subjectively, their numerous disciples under them always need to feast and drink, and what they need versus what they have to take is always worlds apart.

Universal unity is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, countless strong ones’ remains. No matter how much you kill, it’s unstoppable against human greed.

But strong ones have tempers, Li Yunshang has a temper too, and this temper only grows larger with each resistance, expanding its impact.

The last universal unity had everyone, even the Venerable, in a state of danger. Next time will surely be earth-shattering; it’s a consensus among all strong ones.

Chi Yu Zi often hears the saying, Yuqing Heavenly Venerate might make things better. Huayang Yun Miao always tries to influence her subtly, wanting her to whisper into Gu Wen’s ear to restrain Qingcang senior.

What the world fears is never the strong ones; strong ones in the cultivation world are like air, common and sparse.

It stands to reason for the strong ones to govern the world.

Qingcang can be supreme, but the world cannot unite.

Even if only in legal terms.

They’re not afraid of Qingcang’s power, but his selflessness.

Li Yunshang remained silent for a moment, no joy on their face, asking: "Why?"

Gu Wen replied: "Does a disciple need a reason to help their master?"

"Because this is not child’s play; this path will kill many people; you should understand this better than me."

Li Yunshang’s expression was somewhat serious, their voice inevitably carrying a hint of coldness.

"Your former friends might fall at my hands; none of them don’t represent an old power. They might be good, but their positions aren’t theirs to choose."

"If one day I seize power from the sect, then the Venerable would be the first to oppose me."

Gu Wen responded: "I will make sure they don’t have a chance to oppose."

"How?"

Li Yunshang instantly showed curiosity.

After eight hundred years, resistance both internal and external is endless, and the internal resistance is what troubles her most. Outsiders say she is ruthless, yet how could Li Yunshang not want to protect everyone, how could she not feel pain for the Three Pure Ones disciples.

And those who achieved glorious feats in days past, Li Yunshang also tries hard to avoid wiping them out.

Though many are unaware of her struggles, if Li Yunshang were to retreat even slightly, then everyone would take advantage.

She cares for the cultivators, but who cares for the common people?

Everyone is her child, but those who live by sucking the blood of their kind are no longer her children.

Gu Wen might have a way; think of a way that everyone can accept.

After all, eight hundred years ago, he already proposed a feasible plan for universal unity and predicted all the challenges encountered.

The conversation between master and disciple on the ridge back then is today’s world shape.

Gu Wen replied without hesitation: "I will imprison them, then release them once the dust settles."

"Isn’t that just treating the head for a headache and the foot for a sore foot?"

Li Yunshang frowned: "Nowadays, those powerful strong ones in control aren’t inherently bad, but their positions are beyond their control."

"I know, but I just need them alive; I don’t need to worry too much about the rest." Gu Wen shook his head: "Master, seeking completeness leads to failure; to accomplish great things requires not perfection, but a quick solution."

"But if too quick, what if it fails?"

"If it fails, we leave it to future generations to judge; as Pathfinders, we only need to move forward tirelessly."

Gu Wen saw through his master’s worries, as they say, the spirit charge on first goes strong, weakens on the second, and exhausts on the third.

With already five continuous failures, it’s astonishing to still persist. Moreover, at the start, Li Yunshang only wanted the Human Race to continue, so it’s normal to feel discouraged now.

This aligns with his wishes.

"Master, the reason for your continual failure is the thought that there’s always another chance after this failure."

Li Yunshang laughed: "If I fail, could they kill me?"

"Indeed not, but it’s this calmness that keeps you from reaching the end. Your universal unity is like a tide, surging in and receding quickly. In this repeated cycle, cultivators see you as weak, and the common people see you as unreliable."

Gu Wen’s words grew more intense, openly criticizing Li Yunshang, shocking everyone present.

Chi Yu Zi and Li Miao, both close to these two Saints, couldn’t help feeling scared facing such a situation.

Especially considering Li Yunshang’s long-standing prestige.

From the first human-monster war thousands of years ago, countless strong ones perished at Li Yunshang’s hands, with even the immortals and the Devil Ancestors unable to count with both hands.

No one in the world has ever seen someone who could contend with Li Yunshang.

Li Yunshang slightly frowned, showing some displeasure, but did not get angry, let alone resorted to violence.

She calmly listened, as Gu Wen criticized her veiledly; only Gu Wen across the world has this honor.

She was also contemplating if she was truly wrong?

Each time universal unity lasted less than a hundred years, the actual time for it to start collapsing was forty years, and it worsened year by year.

Forty years for mortals is barely a generation, half a lifetime for most mid-to-low-level cultivators, and a closed session for those with great power.

But what could she do?

Could she kill everyone?

Li Yunshang wants universal unity, not to be the world’s supreme.
