Chapter 2343 - 2310: The Compassion of the Human Race’s Emperors Throughout History
Four scriptures embodying the wisdom of countless emperors on the Immortal Ascension Path!
A slight ripple stirred in Jiang Ding’s heart.
These four scriptures were extremely important and indispensable to him. The Human Emperor understood the ideals and pursuits of a Human Emperor; they were of the same kind.
These scriptures touched the deepest part of Jiang Ding’s heart.
"Fellow Daoist,"
"What do the Human Race’s historical emperors desire?"
Jiang Ding did not take the four scriptures but asked softly.
The Human Emperor understood best what the Human Emperor desired.
The historical emperors of the Human Race would never give these invaluable scriptures to others without expecting something in exchange.
"Your Majesty,"
"The demands of the Human Race’s emperors are nothing but twofold."
Indeed, the twisted shadow respectfully replied, "Firstly, to join forces to strike against the Alien Race and emperors, to erode their foundations, ideally to exhaust those with weaker foundations to their demise in this era;"
Jiang Ding’s gaze flickered.
It seems that even if they seal themselves and slumber through history, there is still disparity in their foundations among emperors. Some have shallow foundations and are more prone to death... like the Ten Thousand Laws Ancient Emperor.
However, this should not be the most important reason.
"Secondly,"
"The emperors wish to collaborate with Your Majesty to develop the Endless Starry Sky, share the blood sacrifice, and jointly pursue the Immortal Path."
The twisted shadow bowed deeply again, saying, "Your Majesty, this definitely will not cause you any loss. The value derived from jointly developing the Endless Starry Sky with the Human Race’s emperors is different from possessing it alone. Although shared, you will receive more."
"Jointly comprehending the Original Ancient Talisman as well; the wisdom of many emperors will far exceed that of you alone."
"That’s all there is to these two points."
The twisted shadow prostrated deeply on the ground, its forehead touching the floor, and spoke no further.
The palace fell into instant silence.
You could hear a pin drop.
"Blood sacrifice..."
"Tell me about this blood sacrifice."
Jiang Ding sighed lightly, speaking.
Human Emperors have always been incredibly proud throughout history. Many Human Emperors disdain blood sacrifices and the like, bearing the great virtue of the race, steadfast Dao Hearts unbreakable.
But can sealing oneself in slumber truly change many things?
"Your Majesty,"
"Though the slumber of the emperors consumes very little, they are still consuming."
"And the longer the self-sealed slumber, the more Undying Immortal Source is consumed. Throughout history, emperors have perished due to the exhaustion of their Undying Immortal Source."
The twisted shadow slowly stood up, its voice devoid of any emotion.
Cold, indifferent.
Unbeknownst, terrifying wills of countless emperors revived within it, their cold and heavy pressure spreading.
"At this time, if powerful, young lives from the Endless Starry Sky can be used as raw materials, with plenty of Immortal Material added, they can be refined into a universal Undying Immortal Source to supplement one or two, enriching the foundations, and extending the slumber time of many emperors in history, enhancing the possibility of surviving until the arrival of the Golden Era."
"Blood sacrifices and blood feast, they concern the Immortal Path of emperors!"
"Crucial!"
"Any beings obstructing the Human Race’s emperors and Alien Race emperors will invite relentless vengeance! No being can stand against the will of ancient emperors!"
The twisted shadow’s voice was no longer respectful or humble, and strange echoes unknowingly emerged.
Some echoes were solemn and majestic, others cold and piercing, some soft and enchanting, others indifferent and merciless... each echo, each will, was an existence that every Human Emperor must heed. None were nobodies.
These wills collectively depicted one outcome.
The will of emperors is unstoppable!
"Then,"
"What of the moral issues concerning blood sacrifice?"
"In the era when Human Emperors existed, surely the majority of beings in the Endless Starry Sky were Human Race. Did the historical Human Emperors cultivate in diabolism?"
Jiang Ding was unbothered by intimidation, asking calmly.
Moral.
This term seems odd and inappropriate among High-Level Cultivators.
Be it the Righteous Dao or the Diabolism, neither concerns itself with such issues. Speaking of morality would invite ridicule, as it seems not something a high-ranking individual should consider, appearing too weak.
However, from the perspective of a Human Emperor, it was not so.
Throughout history, those who achieved great feats must have extraordinary ambitions and an extraordinary will!
Such supreme beings have ideals different from most cultivators.
Like the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, he had a deep humanistic value, viewing every cultivator, every mortal equally, offering them respect in terms of dignity.
Like the historical Ancient Emperor of the Sun, he rose in an era when the Human Race was struggling, enslaved, and served as blood sacrifice.
At that time, the Human Race was united to the extreme. Numerous Human Race experts were willing to sacrifice for the race, willing to sacrifice for the yet-to-attain Dao Ancient Emperor of the Sun. Many times countless Human Race experts willingly perished just to cover the Ancient Emperor of the Sun’s escape, without regret or complaint.
The unyielding unity, dedication, selflessness, and sacrifice of the Human Race’s supreme experts during those special periods were so extreme that the historical records left behind seem entirely unbelievable to later generations, regarded as fanciful, thought to be manipulated during the period of the Sun Immortal Dynasty.
However, Jiang Ding and many Human Emperors know this is the true history, the history of the Human Race during special periods.
Also, the Beidou Ancient Emperor, this Ancient Emperor had grand ambitions in history, spreading Dao across realms, having Great Love for the Ten Thousand Races, treating every race, every being equally, till it angered numerous strong Human Race individuals.
This Ancient Emperor was too extreme in racial policies, even more than the Supreme Great Sun Ancient Emperor, completely devoid of the racial stance a Human Emperor should have.
In his reign, it was a dazzling Immortal Dao Prosperity.
After his departure, the Human Race experienced an extremely dark and bloody decline, countless Human Race beings perished, and in many periods, even the entire Endless Starry Sky Human Clan except for captive human slaves went extinct. It was a period unbearable for countless strong Human Race individuals to look back on.
Many Human Race experts believe the Beidou Ancient Emperor was not of the Human Race.
Such various things, viewed from history, every Human Emperor has a unique life view and value system. Most still hold concern for the world’s beings, not as imagined by many cultivators, extremely bloody, regarding the world’s beings as ants, they harbor some compassion.
Mercy and compassion are a latent danger.
The cold cruelty of High-Level Cultivators is a form of self-protection.
And a Human Emperor is entitled to benevolence.
Besides a few special cases of enduring trials tirelessly to attain Dao, a Human Emperor’s life is rarely full of deep hatred and sorrow.
Their innate talent and wisdom are incredibly fearsome, their intellect is astounding.
Society can’t oppress a Human Emperor but often gets suppressed by them, through growth like this, they frequently find the world filled with love, everywhere is beautiful, rich in humanity.
—In reality, from a Human Emperor’s perspective, most people are good.
It’s either genuine or deception.
Therefore, in the eyes of many Human Emperors, the blood sacrifice of a large number of Human Race beings is somewhat immoral, causing a slight discomfort in their hearts, impacting their Dao Hearts to some degree.
Even though the impact isn’t much, it’s still an impact.
For a Human Emperor with extreme pride, invincible beneath heaven, such a minor impact on Dao Heart is unacceptable, considered an insult by a Human Emperor.
"Blood sacrifice and blood feast, moral..."
Sure enough, the twisted shadow fell silent for a moment.
The current Human Emperor indeed resembled their kind, every question striking directly at the depths of their hearts.
"Morality, could be abandoned."
"For the sake of becoming immortal, trivial matters can be discarded."
The twisted shadow’s voice echoed, reverberating with voices of majesty, coldness, firmness, seductiveness, representing the wills of numerous Human Race emperors.
In their hearts, compassion for the Human Race beings holds but a small place.
Now, abandoning it brings no harm.
